D.A.R.E. Relaunch Conference (Part 1/3) - Hailey, Retro Bill and the War on Drugs (Patreon)

Hey guys!

Hope you all enjoyed the Vegas Tunnels series, we're hoping to go check on Glenn sometime next week and see how he's doing, and if he needs any more assistance.

Anyways .. immediately after filming in the tunnels for a week, we received an anonymous tip via email that D.A.R.E, the Reagan-era drug use prevention program that lost it's funding in 1998, would be officially relaunching in schools nationwide in an effort to combat rising fentanyl overdoses and underage vaping.

We also learned that they'd be hosting their commencement ceremony and D.A.R.E. Officer training at the soon-to-be-demolished Tropicana Casino, which is less than a mile from the Rio Tunnels, so we headed over there to investigate.

In this episode, we'll speak to a pro-legalization protestor named Hailey and sit-down with D.A.R.E. spokesperson Retro Bill, who many of you (especially those of you above 30), may remember from your elementary school years as the hip face of the 'Just say No' campaign.

We'll also give a brief overview of how D.A.R.E. connects to the War on Drugs and examine the impacts of the Clinton Administration's 1994 Crime Bill.

Our next episode will be spent in the conference itself.

Also, thanks for all the great suggestions on how to optimize the Vegas Tunnels video for YouTube. We've shaved it down to around 90 minutes and included mostly everything important, but we can't post it for another week..

We've invested significantly in hiring FULL teams to record translated voiceovers in five different languages - Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portugese, and Japanese ... and they're currently all working hard in the studio to translate and record Vegas Tunnels in their respective languages. Once they're finished, we're going to do a huge international push, and then get to the correspondent submissions, which we've narrowed down to our 20 favorite.

Best,

AC
