today, we asked him about his take on the recall and is on record. you frame this as a republican power grab, a takeover by the extreme right wing. do you feel like you are accountable? are there actions you have taken that you think were a mistake? >> i don't think there's a human being that could look back over 2.5 years and say they did everything perfectly. my gosh. as a human being. that answer is obvious. reporter: can you be specific? is it some part of the lockdown? >> look, it's a difficult job, balancing managing the needs, desires, aspirations of 40 million americans. i'm proud of what we've done on covid. it's been challenging and stubborn. it's been stressful. i'm not naive about that. i think it's important. our approach of being the first to lead with the stay-at-home order saved lives. reporter: a recent poll shows a majority of voters are

supportive of california's vaccine mandates. governor newsom is running on the issue, comparing his pandemic policies to those of the republicans looking to replace him. >> they all support eliminating mask mandates in our public schools, eliminating vaccine verifications. larry elder says he will do that day one. i have no interest in taking us off of the covid cliff. reporter: the timing of the delta variant is creating a tricky situation for newsom. you were the first governor to do a stay-at-home order. there are now states that are going further than us with vaccine and mask mandates. many people wonder if you're holding back and acting -- because of the timing of the recall. >> i don't do anything in that respect. we've led consistently. reporter: he kept largely to his talking points, making the case for why he deserves to stay in office. he's gotten advice from former governor arnold's words and acre but he wouldn't say. >> i appreciate his counsel. although former governor's have been helpful throughout the pandemic.

department was called into hell. we are checking with the coast guard to see if everyone was rescued tonight. hopefully they are ok. ama: let's get to our weather and air quality. sandhya: it's going to be improving, beginning this weekend. let me show you some smoke safety tips. women your outdoor activities if you have any sort of respiratory issues. close your windows and doors. your ac on recirculate. these are friendly reminders. smoke-filled sunset. look how red the sunset was from our east bay hill camera. that smoke all coming in from the wildfires burning to our north. that smoke just drifting southward across the bay area. all the way down to southern california. we are talking at least 500 miles from northern california to southern california. as you look at the hour-by-hour smoke forecast, tomorrow morning at 9:00, a north northeast wind. that will transport the smoke

right down into our area. it will get worse in terms of our air quality. it only gets better as we head into saturday. the sea breeze will begin to kick up. notice those lighter shades of blue. that's less smoke in our atmosphere. that's going to be a good thing. we are looking at downtown san francisco. smoky skies again tomorrow. cleaner air and cooler weekend. the summer he returns next week. some fog right along the coastline today. temperatures were in the 60's to 80's for our hottest inland valleys. it shows you how much this mode prevented us from warming up. temperatures from the 50's to the 60's. fog will be along the coast and parts of the bay first thing tomorrow morning. it will pull back along the coastline for the afternoon hours. that's the part that is typical for this time of year. hazy skies tomorrow morning when you get going. visibility will be low. it's low across parts of the bay area due to a combination of the fog and smoke.

50's and 60's on those temperatures. tomorrow afternoon, hazy skies once again. a sea breeze in the afternoon. 66 in the study. low 80's from san rafael to santa rosa. 88 in antioch. 88 in livermore. it does feature smoky skies but the good news is by saturday, we are looking at breezy conditions, cooler, cleaner air. those temperatures will come down and basically stay there for sunday. low average. mid 80's inland. we see a reversal early next week. by midweek, we are talking about the warmth or the heat returning with 90's inland, 60's co-side, one more day of having to deal with the smoke and then we can all get outside and enjoy some cleaner. ama: can't wait. larry: looking forward to that this weekend.
