What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 280 & BENKYO RADIO 280.

As you know, I believe some police work is important, whether it is to fight Organized Crime, or INTERPOL’s Counter-Terrorism Task Forces, or even fighting Human Trafficking.

But, the trial of George Floyd is extremely important to African-Americans, because that officer was clearly in the wrong, and I hope that the family of the individual wins. It’s important if we want this nation to heal. Black Lives Matter. I thank you for listening.

Also, I demand that President Biden gives the patent away for the COVID-19 vaccine to MSF (Doctors Without Borders) so that they begin vaccinating the entire planet. There are millions of people in the world who need the vaccine, and if we want this global pandemic under control, you need to make this happen. People are dying. Please. Thanks in advance.

One more thing, it’s time to make ClearMask available in every store. I have been reached out by the deaf community and they told me how hard it is for them to communicate because they can’t read lips. Thanks in advance.

Until next time!
