thousands of $12 an hour employees who were just trying to meet quotas that made you rich. this is about about accountability. you should resign. you should give back the money you took while this scam was going on, and you should be criminally investigated by both the department of justice and the securities and exchange commission. >> sam and kris, i want to be straightforward were you, there were hours and hours and hours of testimony. i fell under the trap the senators picked for us. i picked the most provocative sound bite out of those hours. they know the most outrageous thing they say is what we'll show. >> she did ask pointed questions. she said you always said the buck stops with you. >> and yet he went on cnbc and essentially blamed all the tellers. >> not a lot of sympathy there for him. >> none in that room. >> elizabeth warren sounding off on what many people were

kumar moved to the bay area from houston last fall. he brought with him the new mazda 6 he recently purchased. when he went to the dmv here in california to register the car, the dmv said he couldn't because it didn't meet california's emission standards. he was forced to consider selling the car and take a $9,000 loss. before he did that, he reached out to us. it's a good thing he did. california does have tight emissions lawtion and residents can't buy cars from other states that don't mass our standards. but people who move here from other states are allowed to bring their cars with them. when we spoke up, the dmv registered the mazda. a spokesman said he doesn't know what went wrong when kumar tried to register his car. in a statement the dmv says they regret the error. for helping him prevent a $9,000 law, kumar told us, i'm really thankful to.

"today in the bay's" bob redell is live in vallejo. we don't know what the odor is, but we know it's making a lot of people sick. >> reporter: it did especially last night. good morning sam and kris. we know the vallejo fire department gas monitors continue to register safe readings. we also spoke with vallejo police and they believe the city will soon lift the recommended shelter in place. we should get a better idea at 6:00 when the city restaffs its emergency operations center here in vallejo fire station 21 in the city limits. people started smelling the odor around 7:30 in the south part of vallejo, in the neighborhoods of glenn kof and beverly hills park. there were about 800 people who called in to kplaen, a number of
