| 0:10.0 | It's such an ironic scandal because either they're so egotistical that they think they can outperform the market without the inside information, which is funny, or they have inside information, which is criminal. |
| 0:19.6 | So it's like either comical or criminal, I think, are the two options that we have here. |
| 0:30.4 | Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for politically eclectics. |
| 0:33.0 | I'm Ravi Gupta. |
