today. liz: yes, governor newsom got advice and help from an old friend today, vice president, harris who was at the union hall in san francisco. we also learned today that former president barack obama will be featured in a new ad in support of newsom. governor newsom's team says they want every living and breathing californian to know about the recall effort, and they say events like this one today will make that happen. when vice president harris took the stage with governor newsom today, the so-called daughter of oakland said she was here for one reason and one reason only. >> i always want to come home, but it was really important to me to come home today, to stand and speak in support, in support of my dear friend, my long-standing friend, a great californian leader, a great american leader, governor

newsom. liz: harris, speaking to to to o crowd of union workers, called the governor courageous and supported his handling of the pandemic and his issuing of gay marriage licenses. she said the effort to recall newsom was important focus. v.p. harris: this recall campaign is about california. they think if they can win in california, they can do this anywhere. well, we will show them you are not going to get this done, not here, not everywhere. liz: harris is the latest big-name democrat to campaign for governor newsom. next week president biden will make an appearance. also today, new stop the republican recall at is airing featuring president obama. >> protect california by voting no on the republican

recall. liz: democrats hope it will help energize their base. larry elder says>> joe biden says. liz: supporters we spoke to at the rally say he is wrong. >> is very misguided and mistaken. he is not a leader, he is an opportunist. liz: in the distance, a small group of four recall protesters could be heard chanting. but going into tuesday's election, newsom's team say they are confident that if voters turn in their ballots, the recall effort will >> the future is in your hands. in the next six days, we have to turn out the vote and vote "no" on this republican recall. liz: and voters we spoke to say eumssue for them is the pandemic. they like the fact that governor newsom supports mask and

vaccine mandates. it looks like it could be the issue that helped him survive it. liz kreutz, abc 7 news. kristen: now we turn to abc 7 news reporter tim johns who was with some of the top conservative contenders, in the bay area tom: both john coxe and kevin faulkner were in the bay area campaigning while really elder was down in los angeles. almost all three of them responded to the vice president's visit,, saying that despite the nationalization of the recall election this race is about the average californians. tom: his republican challengers are also making their final push to voters, with six days to go before the recall election. in los angeles, leading candidate larry elder began his bus tour around the state. things got h h tred a. despe tee moment, elder

called out governor newsom, saying despite his high-profile campaigners, his shortcomings remain in plain sight. >> it is about the way this man shut down the state, ignoring science. it is about the fact that a third of small businesses are now gone forever. tom: closer to home former san diego mayor kevin faulkner spoke, where he said the vice president's visit shows newsom is sweating the election. >> he can bring all the celebrities he wants, but california wants change now. tom: he says the issues are what matters most californians. >>. >> it is not about partisanship, it is about leadership and the governor who take a stand to make our date more affordable. stand up and do the right thing when it comes to safe neighborhoods. tom: similar tones were struck by john coxe who was in the bay area wednesday. he says newsom is using fear to scare voters into keeping him in office. >> he wants you afraid.

he will talk about how covid and the pandemic are running california, and that a republican governor will lead this state into disaster. he has got it wrong. tom: in san francisco, tim johns,, abc 7 news. larry: over 6.5 million ballots have been returned so far, representing 28% of those sent out to voters across the state. the studio tonight, tim johns, abc 7 news. joining us is insider fill material. let's start with a visit from vice president harris. how important is it? phil: it is not just important for governor newsom's campaign, but for democrats across the country. the race may be going in newsom's favor, but it is still too close to call, and that is an embarrassment both statewide and nationally. a post is 57% of voters say they

will vote no on the recall. good news for newsom. 43%, however, say they are going to vote yes likely. all right, now, if this is a republican-backed recall out tent, if this is all about publicans, republicans only represent -- if this is a republican-backed recall attempt, the only represent 28% of voters. so you have some democrats going along with that, not a good sign for newsom, for the state democrats, or nationally, and that is where you are seeing the heavy hitters come in. larry: it is a better sign than losing the recall, there is that. do you think this will make a difference? we saw the tweet from former president obama and the democrats are bringing out the big guns here to try to rally behind newsom. but also trying to paint this as more of a national movement by the republican party to try to take back states one-by-one. phil: exactly, that is how they

started out. they said, we will make this about a republican move nationally. that is what the spokesperson said. that was the message and they stuck with it. but they have pulled back in recent weeks. it wasn't necessarily resounding really well. they turned around and said, this is about handling the covid pandemic and about the resurgence of the variant, and the fact that we need to keep the masks on and have vaccines, something that the republicans don't feel like mandating for state and local jurisdictions. so we turned it into a local issue. now on the tail end, we are bringing it to the national again, hoping to reinvigorate the base. they have got to get the vote out, which, you are right, it is better than saying your underwater. but still, in a state that couldn't be more blue, even the fact that this is happening is not great news for the democrats or governor newsom. larry: no question there is a certain amount of dissatisfaction with s that way

number of issues have been handled. how about president biden coming in? do you think that will be enough to make sure that what we are seeing in the polls is reflected in the votes? phil: it will not hurt, because the all the attention you can get on it, the better. that is the nature of politics. right now i think everybody is trying to do -- we have seen this in campaigns -- every democratic officeholder statewide was at the rally today. now we are going to bring in the big guns. it is going to be an interesting week. larry: for sure. thanks for your insight. reminder to join us this saturday night for the california recall special program. liz kreutz along with phil will break down the recall race and present our documentary, "total recalled," which chronicles the 2004 california recall. it

back then the mission was clear. >> the taliban allowed laden and al qaeda to live and operate there with impunity. karen: but less than two years after the attacks, the bush administration turned its attention to iraq claiming the threat of chemical weapons there. >> it was a terrible and ugly manipulation of the american people. we wanted someone to blame and sat down was a target. karen: the years stretched on. sometimes as many as two two two 200 troops in iraq. and the strategy shifted. >> it moved from being a war against terrorism, to an effort to try to nation build, not just in afghanistan, but in iraq. karen: in may of 2011, the u.s.

accomplishing the original goal that took them to afghanistan. >> the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, the leader of al-qaeda. karen: but there would still be 10 more years of war. >> so, the morning that we woke up to the news that osama bin laden had been killed in pakistan, that news led off the meeting and then it was immediately business as usual. i think that is the moment that we realized how divorced we were from that reason for being there. karen: the war in afghanistan costing the u.s. more than $800 billion. the human toll, more than 2300 u.s. service members killed. in iraq, more than $750 billion spent, and nearly 4500 american military casualties. and now, 20 years after the tragedy of 9/11, a time to reflect on all that has been lost on that day, and over two decades of war. >> 9/11 was a tremendous tragedy, but in many ways the wars that resulted from it are greater tragedies that killed more americans and certainly many more people. >> i think time will tell. i hope they died for something greater. you know, while we were there, i

think that a lot of folks actually did make a difference. some folks got a education that they might not have gotten. some folks had access to health care that they might not have gotten. >> if everyone buried in arlington knew what was going to happen, they still would have taken that deployment. they still would've said, lord, send me. we look and say, let's live a life worthy of their sacrifice. karen: karen travers, abc news, washington. larry: just 49% see the u.s. as safer now, among the weakest ratings ever regarding anti-terrorism in polls conducted by abc news and the washington post. confidence has slid the most among republicans,

counties and here's what you can expect. stephanie: plans for everything from mass vaccination sites to expanded vaccine clinics are underway across the area. but even as the booster receives fda approval in the coming weeks, some health officers expect the rollout to start until early october. pfizer's covid-19 booster shot could be approved by the fda as soon as september 20, less than two weeks away. but a lot has to happen before the doses are widely available at your local pharmacy. >> it may be as early as the end of september or as late as the end of october. stephanie: she is the deputy health officer for marin county. she explains, if pfizer's booster receives fda approval, the cdc will determine which group should be prioritized first, then the california department of public health will issue guidelines before any rollout can begin.

>> i anticipate that the cdc will release a statement providing some direction to the states and local health jurisdictions on the next stephanie: abc 7 confirmed all nine counties are preparing to roll out a booster shot through local pharmacies or doctors offices. >> i can imagine large vaccination sites, the city may set up one. stephanie: plans are underway to open up the san mateo convention center as a mass vaccination site. once the state releases its guidance, how quickly do you anticipate the event center to reopen? >> a matter of a few days. stephanie: in solano county -- >> the first thing will be to actually work with health care providers and long-term care facilities and housing complexes for the seniors to go to those locations, to actually do the booster vaccination. stephanie: the solano county fairgrounds is being prepped to turn into a vaccination site open for a few days during the week entering during the weekend.

>> to deliver between 100000 and 120,000 vaccinations at that site over the course of several months. stephanie: in marin county, the health department is working to open a vaccination clinic that will administer 1500 shots per day. the state told us today they will be ready to begin administering boosters in late september, but again, that is dependent upon review, and health officers are preparing for that to delay the rollout here locally october, but of course, we will keep a close eye on the timeline as it progresses. lighting the studio, stephanie sierra, abc 7 news. kristen: stephanie, thank you. as mentioned, by do will lay out a new strategy in the fight against covid-19 tomorrow, on our 3:00 p.m. show "getting answers" today, a doctor from ucsf talked about what he hopes to hear from the president. >> one of the things that has been forgotten and not emphasized is testing.

hearing what is happening in other countries where you have very ready access to cheap antigen test that can tell you whether you are infectious or not, and people are routinely using them before going to a restaurant or to the schools were even going to the store. . i am very sure that will be one of them. we have not emphasized that enough. i think a lot of the questions will be around boosters. i will be interested like everybody else to see what they say. if the boosters become a kerfuffle with the white house saying that we need them and some scientists saying that we don't, my personal bias is that we need them, particularly for older people who got pfizer. i am particularly interested in that part of it. it will be interesting to hear what they say about the booster strategy over the next few weeks. kristen: dr. walker says he is hoping for biden to announce a vaccine mandate in high-risk settings like hospitals and nursing homes. gap is doing their part to stop

the spread of the delta variant. yesterday the clothing company began to enforce its vaccination policy in the bay area, new york, and albuquerque offices. it is also implementing a vaccine program which enables vaccinated employees to enter into weekly drawings to win $1000. we have an entire vaccine team here dedicated to getting you the latest information. to ask questions, just go to abc7news.com/vaccine, and click on that blue box. larry: coming up, time to it, larry: coming up, time to it, shake shack is teaming why hide your skin if dupixent has your moderate-to-severe eczema or atopic dermatitis under control? hide my skin? not me. by hitting eczema where it counts, dupixent helps heal your skin from within, keeping you one step ahead of eczema. and that means long-lasting clearer skin... and fast itch relief for adults. hide my skin? not me. by helping to control eczema with dupixent,

college. her college is kind of science and s.t.e.m. based, so they might have a little bit more men than women. overall i have seen more girls academically successful in the high school years, and i don't know why that is. is it because boys mature later, larry? [laughter] larry: spencer and i are still in the maturing process. some would say we stalled out around fifth grade. i don't know what the answer is. not the slightest unless we are thinking more guys end up going into the workforce? but i don't want to make that generalization because i just don't know how to interpret it. spencer: i also wonder if more of these women going into college going into fields that used to be dominated by males, are they going into the sciences, into mathematics? kristen: and a lot of working moms who are role models for

their girls growing up. i avoided the joke about girls just being better in school. [laughter] larry: i would like more data. apple's biggest event will take place in 10 days. they posted this video on their social media accounts to make the announcement. on tuesday, september 14, apple is expected to unveil devices including new airpods, the apple watch series seven, and the apple 13. the previous ones in the past year and half were held online broadcasting from cupertino. what would you like to see from apple at this point? honestly the phones are so good. this is, i think, an 11. to get one more camera? i don't know. unless it becomes like a jet center suitcase and i can fly home in it, that would be really

cool. spencer: i have got the 11 also, it has all the features i need. but can it cook dinner? [laughter] >> that would be awesome. spencer: i don't know. >> i have a small request. first of all, i finally just got airpods. hopefully this new one does not blow them out of the water. but could they stop making them bigger? they are still supposed to be phones. the bigger they get, i cannot hang onto it. larry: they have gone to some smaller versions now. >> i am so outdated that it still feels big. [laughter] kristen: check out the latest model, i think they have a baby one. now to something you wouldn't want to find in your home. if these walls could talk, they might scream. a home in australia. the snake had wrapped itself around something behind the wall. the man eventually won out over the snake and pulled it free.

just with his bare hands? >>whoa! >> april say, i dated someone who he and his roommate had, ball pythons. one of them escaped while i was staying there. it ended up being behind the dryer, trying to stay warm. i should have been freaked out and i was. spencer: i am freaked out just hearing about it. larry: did he turn out to be her husband? >> no! [laughter] larry: you know, in australia, it is a great place, but there is a million things that can kill you, including that snake, probably. moving on, if you ever wanted to visit one of dominic's san francisco restaurants but couldn't afford it, now you have a chance. that that's behind the michelin star restaurant has teamed up with shake shack as part of their collaborative series now serving, for one day only, a grilled cheese at shake shack san francisco locations.

joining us is that shake shack culinary director, mark rossetti, in the middle of our screen. thank you for joining us. tell us about this collaboration. >> we are really excited. it is such an honor to be here. our neighbor across the street is his restaurant. so we have been talking about doing something together for a long time. the idea of doing grilled cheese, but more refined and more michelin star would be really exciting. and the money would raise from the proceeds would go to a charity near los angeles, to help their municipal market. >> that is fantastic. kristen: can i ask you, how did you try to infuse the olhaute cuisine part into this new sandwich? what was added. >> we wanted to make this a love letter to all the great artisans around the san francisco area. so we are using certain cheese,

we are taking tomatoes from the chefs garden up north and bringing those to the sandwich. my favorite part is that the chef made a caramelized onion jam that adds salt, she definitely brought her fine dining mentality to it. kristen: should we all dive in here? >> mmm! larry: i snack a taste. it is a grown-up grilled cheese. i would probably eat grilled cheese for every single meal. how do you think your daughter would enjoy this? to adult for her? >> she would probably pick out the tomatoes and not the onions. but she would definitely be all about the bread and the cheese. it is delicious. spencer: i am not a grilled cheese guy, but this is delicious! [laughter] it really is tasty. kristen: i have a feeling shake
