down the road we're going to need them, so that's our mentality all the time, to go out there and just try to throw a complete game and it just so happened today. >> he's one of the lead pitchers in the game, and those guys are tough when they're on top of their game. but it was evident from the start for me, and buster said the same thing. >> well, it is the fifth shutout of matt cain's career, and get this, he is the first san francisco giant ever to throw a one-hitter in the home opener. big day for him, much more coming up a little bit later in sports. reporting from san francisco, henry

additional damage to the private property or jeopardize the safety of people traveling on the road. >> elsewhere in the bay area, a few inches of standing water on the connector to 380 from highway

relevant on a daily basis? >> partially and partially not. i miss a bit of that, but at the same time, i don't miss getting booed when i walk into a movie theatre, and trust me, there were plenty of those examples when you're with your kids and somebody gives you the finger or something and you settle down. now i don't have to worry about that. >> this is gavin newsom 2.0. a little older, wiser and not afraid to attack his boss, governor jerry brown. >> my great critique of this administration is unprecedented higher ed. a 19-plus billion dollar budget shortfall. huge problems. every

what's the response you get? >> you tell me exactly where the money comes from. i used to get that as mayor. i get that. it's a quick response, but with all due respect, i've been there on the executive side. not good enough. if we lose our system of higher learning, we have truly lost the california dream. >> it sounds like in many ways you're setting yourself to run for governor in 2014. would that be wrong? >> yeah, you would be. i hate the politicians that circumvent and question and sort of answer it loosely. i ran for governor momentarily against jerry brown and realized that i need to do pull back. so i think people know what my original intention was. that said, i want to make real this job as lieutenant governor. that's probably why i've been a little more honest and forthright than other lieutenant governors while i'm in office to say i want to do more and be more meaningful and purposeful. >> tell me how fatherhood has changed you. >> that's awesome. it's beyond

is true. >> talk about being a survivor, you survived a scandal in your own city hall in 2007. it came out you had an affair with the wife of one of your staffers. what did you learn from that and do you still apply those lessons today? >> anything that could be said on that has been said on that. there's certain things you do in life that you can't take back. people you cared about got hurt from it and you better get better, because life is about learning from your mistakes, and i'm a much better person and learned a lot from my mistakes. >> he also had a response to the current mayor scandal
