It was hot out. The president wanted to meet — you outside. — you said it felt look at green version of hell he's tall tall hedge so there was no — And you know presence and dozens — thought he kept hitting but it was a tense meeting — because you want to lead this agency.
I never made any secret and the fact that I would have loved to have — and sent the agency. There's an idea that I got from Elizabeth Warren long before the financial crisis. Elizabeth was sounding the alarm on predatory lending in the financial pressures on middle class families.
But let's also be really clear. The big banks had sent from the very beginning they would kill this — They didn't want me to lead it. And their Republican friends in the United States and it had made it clear.
That they were not gonna confirm me to lead to an ancient as president said he was because you make them nervous that's right. And — All I think he's right I think I did — income — — — You also write about Larry Summers one of president's top economic advisors he says to you you have a choice. You can be an insider.
— can be an outside. Entity thinking at that point — — make a choice he said outsiders. Can make a lot of noise but insiders — — countless.
Insiders have a chance to influence. What's happening. But there's a cardinal rule.
Insiders. Never criticize other insiders. And at that point you were not — senators know I was I was on the outside — much argument inside are now.
I can does too — it's — ask a question about supervising. Big banks when they break the law it was your first appearance before the banking committee as a senator. Yet when you're sitting in front of the banking regulators.
And you ask them. Tell me a little bit about the last few times you've taken the biggest financial institutions on Wall Street. All the way to a trial.
And the response. Came by. There was a lot of science and — — contact everybody wanted to look somewhere else.

There's no enthusiasm no appetite. To take those — to try to say you're responsible you're the one who did this. And you have to be accountable to the American people.
Boy you want to talk about tilted playing field there — — — out on the campaign trail and you famously said smell this country who got rich. His — Nobody. — — — What you also — — point do you want to be clear about something you moved your goods to market on roads that the rest of us — paid for.
You hire workers but the rest of this help paid educate. You had police services and firefighters to protect you get all of — help pay for. And you can't — good free use.
But you've got to take some of — and be willing to pay it forward. So that the next — has a chance to make it big and hit after that and — after speaking of — a lot of people that don't buy that argument things I did build some might. We old contributed to creating the right conditions so that everybody would get a chance we've got to remember.
All of us benefited from the investments other people made an — you write that my mother usually pick me up from school. And our bronze toned stationed way in and one day she shouldn't — — — Off — Studebaker that your father had driven back and forth to work and US for the station like ones and she said. It's the and willing to — understand — senate.
Going. And she said. It's gone they couldn't couldn't keep making payments — and it had a heart attack.
About work for a long time the medical bills have piled up. They lost the station wagon. And now we were on the edge of losing her home.
My parents. Worked hard. Date they were good people.

Families are tangled in — The kids have to pay incredible. Prices to go to college and we're not building. Those same opportunities those same second chances for families for our kids.
That we built a generation ago. And we don't make some changes this could fundamentally change this country and that's it for this edition of power players thanks for watching. I'm David — for ABC news and Yahoo!"
