Up next, the New York Times talks with massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren about progressive priorities for president elect bidens administration. We are joined for our final session of the day with senator Elizabeth Warren. We could not be more joyed to have her, about whats going on and where the country is headed over the next several years. Senator, thank you very much for joining us. Sen. Warren thank you for having me. We will have fun. Lets have fun. I have so many questions, selfishly curious to see how you understand it. The thing we are trying to understand is the message that you think this outcome of the election really means.
