well, just be clear, there seems to be some confusion, they re not giving it to me. i m not on the board of american crossroads or gps or american crossroads or cross roads gps. it cauwas not conceived by and karl rove? after the last election we talked to a number of republicans and conservatives and said that things have gotten oout of control in terms of the left and their use of these institutions on the outside. you know, chris, in 2008 supporters of president obama and folks who agree with his agenda spent $1.1 billion in the election year versus only $634 million for those who supported senator mccain and his agenda. that s a $500 million gap. so, you know, karl and i encourage people to form organizations to encounter the left and the infusion of money that was coming from outside groups on the left. c4s and 527s and organizations like that. a number of them have come
roughly 60 miles due south that is where falcon lake is. that s the border area. this area not used to seeing this type of activity. another map. we re looking at the border here, but these are the drug flows. you can count five colors here coming from the border going north all the way if you follow three of them to the border with canada. so, these areas, this action that s happening on the corner here, chris, as you can see why this incident is still taking a look at, it is common and it is spreading throughout the entire nation. richard, great reporting. i want to bring in former fbi profiler and he is joining us via skype and brad thor has stayed with us. brad, what else can you tell us about these so-called pirates along the border there? well, part of what they represent, chris, is a $25 billion, that s b like in boy, a $25 billion drug industry between mexico and the united
