europe and the u.k. comes from afghanistan but the vast majority of the drug crop and up in afghanistan or pakistan, iran, central asia comment kazakhstan have huge teheran problems. is a bogus argument that is totally hypocritical. good question. >> i am curious i have been looking at this book with the cia complicity with the national drug trade and i am curious about the continuity of your work and your debt to him. and at two weeks ago there was a former at npr journalist and i do not remember her name. but she was billed as the adviser to general mccarron. >> sayre of chase. >> yes. one day after her interviewed general mccarron was forced to resign i cannot help of wonder there was a relation between that interview and his resignation? >> i have no idea about that. i do not even know how the pentagon makes decisions nor did i see the interview briefing sarich ase has done a lot of great work in southern afghanistan but in terms of the rumor of the cia involvement, this is something i heard all the time over and over one of the reasons the u.s. was not stopping the drug trade was because our agents were secretly

asia and europe. we have to find a way to build and finance true high%b@ @ @ @Á with just this $13 billion investment, they intend to increase, maybe double ortrip they will size of their workforce in doing such. t.g.v., the french rail system, is run by a company called sncf a national rail company. they employ over 200,000 people in good paying jobs and let me remind you, france is a company 1/5 the size the u.s. just imagine the number of jobs that would be permanent jobs in building this high speed rail system as well as all the construction jobs and orders for the factories in building out the system itself. but if we're going to do this we have to do it right and we have to do it at scale. $13 billion and i know what senator thorn said, $13 billion is a lot of money but it's a small amount of money to do what needs to be done. to build high-speed rail up the california coast is estimated to be a $45 billion cost factor. to build a high-speed train from philadelphia to the midwest would cost between $20 billion and $25 billion alone. a couple of months -- a couple weeks ago vice president biden had a meeting with six governors. and it w
