This week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) joined Bill to talk about the numerous problems plaguing the middle class and what Washington should be doing to help solve them. After taping the broadcast interview, the two kept talking and we kept rolling: as so often is the case, great moments are often captured when we least expect them. Here, Bill starts by asking Sen. Warren about her dinner with Larry Summers, who at the time was one of President Obama’s top economic advisors and she was “raising a lot of trouble over how the money in the bailout was being spent.”

They go on to talk about the student loan bill she introduced that would allow borrowers to refinance their debt, and will be voted on next week, as well as what surprised her most about life inside the Beltway, her own middle-class upbringing, the minimum wage fight and Eric Cantor’s new job on Wall Street.
