that was my naivete at the moment, i think i was a little overwhelmed myself. that's still my on-going project as far as that goes, how can we raise some funds and i actually have a bunch of paramedics that would go over there in a heartbeat on their time if we could find a way to fund it to teach them the medicine. the reality is they don't have a health care system now. it's slowly coming back but it was wiped out. they had the tertiary care facility in the region. they were the closest thing to a trauma center. they were the closest thing to intensive care. when we were there, the nearest surgery was 400 kilometers away and they don't have helicopters, not so much. there's a few owned by the military. so it was a long ride. as a matter of fact, we thought about that as we were stopped on a highway and people were barreling at us, i thought, wow, 400 kilometers is a long way if something goes wrong here. but it puts it all in perspective. their health care was wiped out and they don't have the resources. that's something we would still like to do. the real le

although i do think there's a level of naivete, kind of a wonderful naivete for americans that often compare what's going on in china to what's going on in the united states. having spent some time in the construction industry and having spent some time in china involved in construction, there is a certain nimbleness to communism. there's a freedom of just taking over land because the country owns it all, and they can, they can say to citizens, you know, we'd like this land and you leave and without compensation. and there's a speed and cost savings that doesn't allow us to compare what's going on in china today to what's going on in the u.s. but economies are much different, and certainly our systems of government are much different can. so it would probably be helpful for the overall conversation to set aside those comparisons. but i would like to kind of focus in on what's going on in california since the earlier panel was here. can you give can us an idea -- can you give us an idea of what the real timeline is that you expect it to be? when is this going to be up and running, and

i do think there is a level of naivete for americans that often compare what is going on in china tois going on in the united states. having spent some time in the construction industry, there is a certain nimbleness to communism. there is the freedom of just taking over land because the country owns it all and they can say to citizens "we like this land and you leave." there is a speed and cost savings that does not allow us to compare what is going on in china today. economies are much different. our systems of government are much different. it would probably be helpful for the overall conversation to set aside those comparisons. i would like to focus on what is going on in california. can you give us an idea of what the real time line is that you expect it to be? how much more money will this cost the taxpayers to subsidize california's high speed rail? >> the investments that are being made in high-speed rail across america amount to a little over $10 billion so far. states are putting in their own money. california is certainly doing that. their assembly voted tto sell the bonds

the naivete on part of this administration is just stunning.e thought that they actually believe if we convince the saudis and the qataris to arm the rebels that they would arm the good guys as opposed to arming the bad guys? and you know the only good thing i can say about all this, if we were smarter, we would recognize the fact that all these. >> dodd -- jihadis coming together in sir was, a good chance to take them out after assad falls. jihadis are bottom-feeders. they go where they ever they can do the most damage against westernized ideas. that's why they're in syria. megyn: this reporting, i should tell viewers we were sending arms to saudi arabia and qatar and other countries going into the hands of the bad guys, of the al qaeda related groups, that comes from "the new york times" which has done a couple of in depth articles on this, that go directly against what the president and the vice president said at the presidential debates. this has been very undercovered, the fact that our allies, you know, that we, via the allies are shippin

because this is the wake-up call to the naivete of all of us, who are now in great detail, sharing our on twitter. this is potentially a major line in the sand, isn't it, for this industry? >> look at what just happened yesterday with mark zuckerberg's sister. posting a picture to facebook that privacy settings weren't set correctly on her account. she didn't realize it and she ended up sharing it far more broadly. there's a huge issue around privacy and trying to term what we've deemed this issue that each of those companies have in terms of social responsibility, and how do you turn that into profit generation? it's just not an easy task. it's one of the reasons why we keep wondering, as social media plays out online, if advertising is not the issue, because it's too invasive privacy wise, and whether there needs to be new forms of moderatization that don't exist today on any of these platforms. >> that make sense. if this data was the truth, would you take the over or the under on this losing a quarter of your users stuff? >> i don't know the official number. i think it's fair to sa
