"Donald Trump said that he wants to adopt Glass-Steagall. Donald Trump has said he wants to raise the minimum wage, right? Donald Trump has talked about family leave. Donald Trump has said he will protect Social Security," Warren said. "Man, we got some places there where we could overlap, and I really do want to say, heck, you want to do things that really will help build a little more economic security in this country? Count me in. I'm ready. I'm ready to put aside all that. We don't have to tweet at each other about it. Let's do those things and make them happen." "If Donald Trump will advance the kinds of policies, the kinds of measures that can be helpful, then, man, let's jump up and work with him. Let's make that happen. Because these are things not just that Democrats want. These are things that Americans want," she added.

But Warren remained critical of Trump's rhetoric and encouraged Democrats to fight back on the issues of equality, healthcare and Wall Street reforms, and maintained that Trump's campaign was built on racism and bigotry. She encouraged people angry with Trump's victory to take action.

"Every minute of every day, we’re gonna be smart, we’re gonna be organized, we’re gonna use our time and our talent in a strategic and careful way, but we are going to fight back," she said. "We are not turning this country over to what Donald Trump has sold, we are just not."

But Warren also said that Trump proved that "he can listen" to the American people.

"Donald Trump did prove that he can listen to the American people. He proved that. He didn't listen to all of them. He didn't get the majority of votes. But he listened on the economic pain that a lot of Americans are feeling. He listened on the anxiety that a lot of Americans feel," she said.

"Our job is to make sure our voices get heard. He said he would be president of all the people. Then let's hold him to it and let's help him do it. And let's make it clear what that doesn't include and where it is we will fight him every step of the way."
