>>> brown first ran for office, he was seen as a tea party hero. he was just a regular guy driving his pickup truck. he cut government spending. he'd be there to vote to kill obama care. but elizabeth warren shattered that image last fall.

>> i think this is one more case of senator brown making it clear where he stands. he's taken more than $2 million in contributions and he really delivers for wall street .

>> he really delivered for wall street . ouch. in total, the securities and investment industry gave brown $3.2 million for his re-election campaign. yep. scott brown really helped out wall street when he was in the senate and now that he's lost his seat, he'll be helping them again. we learned today brown has a new job working at the law firm nixon peabody where he will, quote, focus on his practice on business and governmental affairs as they relate to financial services industry as well as commercial real estate matters. translation? he's taking care of business just like they took care of him. it's a perfect fit. in fact, one of his new firm's biggest clients is goldman sachs . but brown's new clients might have a tougher time than they used to down in d.c. because they are not dealing with senator scott brown anymore.

>> if you launder nearly a billion dollars for drug cartels and violate our international sanctions , your company pays a fine and you go home and sleep in your own bed at night. 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. anybody? i'm really concerned that too big to fail has become too big for trial. that just seems wrong to me.

>> elizabeth warren is in. scott brown is out. he may run for office again but no one is going to be fooled by his fake pop u lichl again. what you see is what you
