I know the overwhelming majority of them have always acted in their clients' best interests, and do not need the Department of Labor to tell them what to do.

And I go home and see these injured and disabled veterans. And then I come up here and hear where these senior officials, it seems like they have manipulated a system that they know how it works.

One of the things I think you see across the country is a loss in faith of government, and I think this is a poster child for it.
