Former President Bill Clinton spoke to Meet the Press host David Gregory Tuesday about his family’s finances — which have induced multiple gaffes from presumed 2016 presidential candidateHillary Clinton (and even one from daughter Chelsea) — arguing that it was “factually true” that they’d been broke upon leaving the White House and that his wife was not in fact “out of touch.”

In response to some light Joe Scarborough mocking about the Clintons doing their own grocery shopping in Chappaqua, New York, Gregory gave his explanation of Clinton’s remarks:

“In many ways what I heard Bill Clinton saying was, ‘Look, we still think we’re that couple from Arkansas and certainly I, as a politician in Arkansas, didn’t have a lot. I came into the White House and my life completely changed then and after that. I did have a lot of debt and things completely took off.’
