7:10 am
pages sometimes incorrectly identifying them to the war on isis. right or wrong it's a threat. >> this is very disconcerting obviously to the families the specific families that were identified in this release, but more broadly across the armed services to know that those who engage in social media, that that information now can be corrupted and used by a terrorist organization. >> reporter: isis is defenseless against american air strikes which by last count have killed more than 8,500 fighters and struck more than 5,300 targets but it's fight back to use social media to threaten u.s. military personnel at their home bases. >> i thisnk this is exactly the kind of tactics that we're starting to see increase not only here but in other parts of the world where these islamic extremists/terrorist elements are looking for different, so-called soft targets. >> reporter: there are about 180

8:35 am
structural change. the bad incentives that are the heart of the problem of the financial cry circumstance poorly incentivized. however, there's this other way the thing gets fixed, gets fixed in the market and the characters of the book the people who created this fair exchange, iex, their business is growing very, very fast. they're going to become a public exchange in the fall. so i think that's sort of the hopeful path is the market fixing the problem. >> right. back in the day of "the oprah show" she used to always say to her team what is your intention here for this show. i love -- i'm going somewhere with this. you said i did not intend to see just how angry i could make the richest people on wall street. so what was your intention? >> look. if i had just been told that the stock market's got this rigging in it and like ordinary investors are disadvantaged in relationship to high frequencicy
8:36 am
traders, i wouldn't have been interested in the story. what i found interesting is instead of trying to mack money o from it they were trying to fix the problems certainly at an experience to themselves and to wall street. certainly i thought thecharacters and their deeds were interesting. not the nefarious wall street people because, by god, we've heard enough about that. >> i believe people believe there are two sets of people. rules for rich people and rules for other people. in your book you say people have an unfair advantage. has anything changed? has the government at all stepped in to change that high frequency -- >> as i say, it's messy. the s.e.c. is making lots of noise. the former head of -- treading the market the s.e.c. just came out and said it's a death star. >> keep hearing the noise and there are charges. >> where does it lead to? it's hard to know. whether there are rules they can
