NBC10 Boston's Mary Markos got a chance to sit down with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday, who hit on a variety of topics, including the ongoingThank you so much for joining us. We appreciate your time. So let's get right to it. Steward Health Care is planning to close down two hospitals in Massachusetts. They're blaming their financial squeeze on inadequate government payments.

Warren: Look, I am very, very concerned about escalation. We need to get to a cease-fire. We need to get to the return of the hostages. We need to get to humanitarian relief. And most of all, we need to push the parties -- both parties -- toward coming to the negotiating table and working out a solution. And that's a two-state solution where two different peoples can live side by side with respect, with self-determination and in long-term peace.

This is something, by the way, that Vice President Harris and I originally worked on coming out of the crash of 2008. She was attorney general of California. I was setting up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as we were trying to push back against these giant banks. Every single Republican voted against it, but the Democrats felt that this is something our nation should do, so that Teamsters would have the opportunity to retire with dignity. Other pension funds got help from other sources through the years this one was still left behind and the gap was enormous. And this is a time for the United States government to step up on behalf of hardworking people who did nothing wrong. So I'm celebrating today.
