from senator feinstein, "the attack is a tragic reminder that we must continue counterterrorism efforts in afghanistan. making sure that those responsible are bought brought to justice." we are following reaction. many people remembering the sacrifice of u.s. servicemembers. we will follow the developments out of afghanistan throughout the evening. there will be a complete wrap up tonight at 6:30 p.m. >>> a major gas line rupture that forced residents to leave their homes could soon be over. dozens of families were affected. here's more on that story from kiet do in san jose. >> reporter: evacuation orders could be lifted around 7:00 p.m. to nine the reopening time has been pushed back multiple times. and at this point no one is holding their breasts. you can catch a strong whiff of gases pg&e is venting it off into the atmosphere it is still not safe to come back in yet. pg name mobilized multiple crews in to service the damaged line. >> we had to isolate each line to stop the flow of gas. six lines in total. >> reporter: a third-party contractor did call to mark the location. the cont

now you're talking about dianne feinstein and the significance of her seat is vulnerable and what itean in this period if there were republican governor. >> the governor has the power to appoint a replacement for dianne feinstein if anything were to happen to her. if she were to retire or if anything else happened to her. you know, she is elderly. so that is a real possibility that he would appoint someone who does not represent the values of california or californns, and would tip the balance of the senate. it would make it impossible for president biden to push through the policy goals that he has put forth in terms of infrastructure, in terms of helping communities across the united statein ways the republicans oppose. there are real implications. even though it would be a year and a half in office, they would probably be voted up in the next election, they could do significant harm. larry elder says he plans to use his veto power to cut funding to all of these programs that he opposes, including health care for our undocumented seniors -- which has allowed them to stay alive. man

the appointments, specifically the big concern has been, let's say something happens with dianne feinstein, or she steps down. i assumed the democrats could change that law quickly, and they would if newsom is out. there's a lot of different control over the state regulatory body, appointments that newsom and any governor has. having a super majority in both houses of the legislature limits that. california also has positions. these are limiting factors for any governor. plus, the fact that he or she would be in office for a year, a little more than a year at most. kristen: then they would have to be in the general election. the governor's supporters are telling voters to say no to the first question and then leave the second one blank. why are they advocating that? >> i think they don't want to confuse people. just vote no is basically the question. last time, there was a candidate who ran, lieutenant governor buster montaigne, and his campaign slogan was, no on recall. they would rather have the simple line. your time. we appreciate your information and knowledge. >> thanks a lot. kriste

but otto warburg stays in the army and albert feinstein of all people printable letter and said that you're too important for science, you we need you tomorrow. and it was otto warburg's parents who asked feinstein to write him a letter and otto warburg does come home after einstein asked him to it it's interesting because einstein said you too important for science not really it was very arrogant. and i think that, i think that einstein understood how to convince otto warburg in turn if he comes home. it is possible that does not, he died in the mark. and is incredible answers never happened. so i think i'm sign in theory could've really played a very important role in the story. patty: back to the lab now that we our world war i which was very interesting. so talk about missus egerton's, what was it. the sea creature that it worked with. sears. explain his work, what was his goal, what was he searching for. almost single-mindedly. sam: it even starts before when he was in training as a medical student and physiologist but he is going about the same european scientist to special tra

senator feinstein worked on it along with joe manchin. >>> vaccine mandates for teachers. dr. fauci says he supports it and acknowledged on msnbc that it would upset some people but that the country is in a critical situation dealing with a major covid surge. >> you would wish people would see why it's so important to get vaccinated. but you're not going to get mandates centrally from the federal government, but when you're talking about local mandates be for teachers, schools, universities. i'm sorry, i know people must like to have their individual freedom and not be told to do something, but i think we're in such a serious situation now that under certain circumstances mandates should be done. >> dr. fauci also supports students wearing masks in school. the cdc has recommended masks only for unvaccinated kids but california is recommending a mask mandate for all kids. the debate over booster shots will take place later this week. data will be reviewed on friday. their findings could determine if supplemental doses will be recommended, especially in people who are immunocomp

if he was ousted, there could be ramifications for the united states senate, with senator dianne feinsteinancing age. with polling pointing to a near dead heat, speaker pelosi said turning out the vote next month will be crucial. >> we have many more democrats than republicans, for one thing, but again, i think that you ask me, was i surprised. i don't think many people took the recall seriously because it's not for a serious purpose. but the fact is, it exists, so we do have to get more enthusiastic about turning out the vote. >> reporter: on the taliban takeover of afghanistan's capital, kabul, speaker pelosi bis desion ansaysthe u.s. should have been out of afghanistan a while ago. on the topic of u.s. military equipped that is now in the hands of the taliban, speaker pelosi said this -- >> some equipment is left there. it was thought that that would be used -- it was hoped that it would be used by the afghan military to defend its own country. the fact that it did not and could not was all the more reason for us to leave. >> speaker pelosi went on to emphasize about the recall election

i am told that senator dianne feinstein is more feeble than joe biden, and if she retires and becomesapacitated, they are afraid that i will appoint a republican governor, and that would shift the whole balance in the senate. so for all those reasons, it is made a for the democrats, so joe biden has weighed in, kamala harris has weighed in, elizabeth warren has cut a commercial, record on crime, homelessness, rising cost of living, the way he shut down the state without paying attention to science, attacked, attacked, attacked, and said it was driven by republicans. that is all they've got. >> sean: rolling blackouts, brown outs, water shortages, paying for water, the covid hypocrisy, and i guess gavin newsom has a very different view of what foreign policy should be as he prays joe biden this week, which i'm sure you you took note of. >> oh, shorted. he said he is proud of what joe biden did in afghanistan. it is a window into gavin newsom's incompetence. you did not mention the end of employment development come he allowed $30 billion that should have gone to unemployment benefits f

dianne feinstein for example has represented the state of california in the u.s.for nearly 30 years and yet, her approval rating is just 30%, yet somehow, she keeps her job anyway. kamala harris did the same thing. 70% of their voters said they supported her and that makes you wonder how she got elected to anything in the first place, but don't ask. a question like that would be what we call the big lie, so shut up and accepted. the interesting thing is that california voters don't technically have to accept it because a century ago voters in that state amended the constitution to allow the recall of demonstrably awful politicians who had unfortunately taken office. let's say you had a pompous low iq governor who was totally incapable of managing his own empty personal life but at the same time for his own purpose reasons it seemed intent on destroying the entire state. what would you do with a guy like that? on september 14th of this year, next month, california voters will have a chance to fire him. they have a recall option. if a majority decides to recall gavi

my favorite quote in the story on the bloomberg is from diane feinstein, california democratic senator she left the floor thursday night. "everybody is in a bad mood in there." how tense is this? what is the main point that people will be arguing about this weekend? emily: no one likes having to stay at work late, especially if you are a u.s. senator. the bargains they have at this point are about a couple of them and. last night they were hoping to -- a couple of amendments. last night they were hoping to pass a package of amendments and head home, but that got stopped by a freshman senator from tennessee. a couple of things left ealing with cryptocurrency, how wide or how narrow regulations should be, and whether states can use funds allocated towards covid-19 for infrastructure. lisa: cryptocurrency? how does that fit into infrastructure, having to do with rebuilding america? connect the two. emily: it is a great point, and the idea is that they are trying to still at this 11th hour find ways to pay for this infrastructure bill. you heard them go through numerous ideas. you've heard
