      I'm not a fan of your videos anymore, but I figured I would suggest something to you guys, I would like to see a video of why Canada is pushing the legalization of all drug, I have a sneaking suspicion that its Asia pushing this, they are world leaders when it comes to drugs. Its worth looking into and reporting on this.

    I JUST moved to Las Vegas, and after spending about two months in major casinos on the strip? I can tell you: it’s not something that was of “the past” - it’s really evident when you see the same guys, night after night, just wearing a backpack and not even having a room - and somehow putting down over $20,000 for chips at a table, playing one hand for $50, then cashing out at the cage.
    It’s happening every night.

      "Copelas o cuello" translates to "either you coperate or you die" in english. The direct translation would be "Cooperate or neck" and the word neck is used to signal cutting someones neck. Is a common phrase in spanish. It doesn't necessarily mean "you die", it can also mean you will suffer or you will lose, or you really need to cooperate. Like saying "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse". There's a hidden meaning in the phrase that makes it sound more terrifying.

    "Copelas o cuello" translates to "either you coperate or you die" in english. The direct translation would be "Cooperate or neck" and the word neck is used to signal cutting someones neck. Is a common phrase in spanish. It doesn't necessarily mean "you die", it can also mean you will suffer or you will lose, or you really need to cooperate. Like saying "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse". There's a hidden meaning in the phrase that makes it sound more terrifying.
