chris, so you start running drugs for a man named jeff andrews. can you describe for us the worst experience when you're heading up to wichita, right? >> yes, i never did drugs, so i don't understand the drug culture per se, but i'll never forget the first drug load iran was over 100 pounds. and we negotiated the price. i get in the car and start driving and all i can think was man, what happens if my car breaks down? what happens if i get a flat tire? what happens if they get in a wreck? i was out over the fact drugs or in my car. at that point, delusions and paranoia starts speaking in nbc's ghost behind every tree in cops behind every bush. i really thought i was going insane in that moment. >> she had a particularly ingenious disguise i thought. >> well, there's a ski mountain south of el paso sectors and skis in the car at the ski report. when i hit the border patrol check point, the border agent, they'd never question me before. when i was running drugs have as much younger and of course much better looking because i had hair.

andrew ross sorkin. our top story, fiscal fears weighing heavily on investors minds. joining us is dave joy and jeffber. david, the recent, i don't know, mini correction we've seen, buying opportunity or start of something more serious? >> i think it may be a buying opportunity ultimately, but i think it's too early to conclude that. in other words, i think it's an opportune time to be cautious. i would still take risk off the table. precisely because of the political uncertainty and most specifically fiscal cliff. there's a lot that could know wrong there still. but down road, if we get a framework for larger budgetary deal down the road, could be a catalyst for a better market. >> and i think there are bullish indicators here. despite the fact folks in washington continually drop the ball, there's a lot of pressure on them that you make it across the goal line. the treasury pits behind us we actually see like the low point of the range, the 159 we put out on friday. so right now there's no real rush to this treasury. on top of that, we're seeing the vix under 20. so therefore i think we'll look at
