Yeah, I think, Mark, your question,
11:20
we all agree on a best interest standard.
11:24
And so one of the questions that's posed to us is, well, why was it so concerning? Why was this fiduciary rule so concerning? It was just framed as we're just asking you to act in the best interest of your client.
11:37
And we all are dedicated to acting in the best interest of our clients.
11:41
So why was this such a problem? Well, the problem was that's not what the rule did.
11:46
The rule had two pieces.
11:49
One, which said you have to act in the best interest of your client, which was never a problem.
