mr. stevens and you testifie stephensonuses to , correct? >> we were enthusiastic about it. we are investing 15 million additional homes with broadband those are hard hat jobs to fill out these capabilities. >> so in terms of the ambitious d. program and as i gather as a result of the complementary nature it doesn't seem to be much disagreement about that. there's athere is an expectatiou would create jobs now. is there a reason for you to disagree with that assertion? >> i think it is usually the case that there are job redundancies. it's not the focus of my concern here. i'm focused more on the consumer side. >> okay. mr. stephenson, in terms of the potential creation of jobs, is there a specific regional distribution that you would anticipate that would receive any job growth more so than other parts of the country? >> the places that come to mind are the 2 million that were passed with the gigabit technology high-speed broadband capability. that involves taking fiber all the way to home. that would be in the traditional franchises of the 22 states where we operate today.

mr. wilcox up. next speaker cards, marty halloran, steven jaffey, martin fox. mr. wilcox i apologize, i did call mr. wilcox out of order, mr. wilcox is laura's father and has been a tireless advocate for laura's law. >> thank you very much for the honor. for the record, my name is nick wilcox, i live in penn valley in california here with my wife amanda who because of the crowded conditions is in the overflow room, she's also put in a speaker card and would like to reserve the right to speak at the end if she deems that necessary. i would like to thank supervisor farrell and mayor lee for your steadfast support of laura's law. as supervisor farrell said, amanda and i are the parents of laura wilcox, laura when she was 19 in 2001 died in a rampage shooting while she was trying to help people with severe mental illness. she was working at the behavioral mental health clinic, i man named scott thorpe came in and shot her pointblank 4 times and she died instantly. since that time we have come to realize, actually we came to realize rather early on in the process, that

mr. steven quirk, how much did t d ameritrade received in rebates from exchanges last year for routing orders to venues that paid maker rebates? do you know how much you may just from payments for order flow and rebates? >> i can estimate based upon what was discussed would be about $80 million. >> about 80? >> yes. >> and that is just the part that goes to the venues that pacemaker rebates. >> maker taker. >> maker taker how much did td ameritrade pay in exchanges last year for routing orders to venues that charged ticker fees? >> i do not know the answer to that question, but i can get it. >> the ticket is closed to zero. >> no, it is not close to zero, but i do not know what the answer is. it would not be significant. >> get the answer for the record >> okay. >> anyway, for virtually every trade your customers, you say, were better off routing their orders to the exchange that save you a rebate rather than a venue that td ameritrade would have had to pay a fee. is that true? >> in the subsequent 24 months you will note that we have routed to a number of exchanges in one quarter. and some o

mr. stevens, a little bit about your fiber buildout. common sense to me dictates that if you have -- the driving force behind broadband right now is video. if you've got a cheap way to deliver video, there's a discouragement of rolling out your fiber network. i read an article in "the dallas morning news" about how you're actually still rolling it out because you're competing with google fiber. so how are we going to see the rollout of fiber affected in markets that google isn't entering yet? when is it going to filter down to the, you know, mid-size cities and then eventually to the smaller towns? >> that's one of the i guess interesting things about this transacti transaction. i've referenced it a couple of times now. our video service whether it's over our fiber or fiber to the node technology, we lose money on the video service because 60 cents of every dollar goes to the programmers. combining with directv and creating the opportunity to make our programming costs look like directv's programming costs makes our fiber-based tv produ

there is nothing in the book about congressional testimony that in fact stevens went to benghazi on the 9/11 anniversary because it was mrs. clinton who want ad permanent post there and stevens had to file the paperwork before a state department budget deadline two weeks later. at the end of the day mrs. clinton points to the accountability review board or arb, this was a state department investigation, but critics maintain that it was a faulty investigation because they never interviewed senior executives including mrs. clinton, who would have, based on the rules at the state department, signed a waiver to allow the post in benghazi to exist with the substandard security, eric. >> a lot of questions still remain. thanks very much. >> reporter: you are you're welcome. jenna: big story and fox news alert, five american soldiers killed in afghanistan what officials suspect was a friendly fire accident. if confirmed this would be the one of the deadliest friendly fire incidents since the start of the war. the victims all reported to be special operations forces carrying out what is described as security operation when they c

mrs. clinton said she never saw a request for additional security from ambassador chris stevens, one of thekilled that night in the attack in benghazi. is it possible the secretary of state didn't receive all the line by line items? >> well, that's something the committee really, really wants to know. first of all, you have to remember that "politico" obtained a copy of this chapter on benghazi from her book. they didn't publish the chapter, they did a story with exercises from it. we don't know exactly what she says. one of things investigators wanted to know about, what did she know about security conditions in libya before the attack. there was a famous, now famous, cable on august 16th, 2012, not long before the attack sent by the ambassador to secretary clinton saying there were huge security problems there and the embassy could not withstand a coordinated attack. she says she never saw this memo. but we do know leon panetta, the secretary of defense and martin dempsey, chairman of joint chiefs of staffs said they saw the memorial okay. i feel certain investigators are going to want to
