>> he's one of more than 10,000 people whose car has been broken into so far this year in oakland. but his story doesn't end with the shattered glass you see there on broadway. good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley. >> i'm larry beil. that man he had attached trackers to $24,000 worth of camera gear that was stolen that day. but what happened next was very frustrating, not only for him, but for all of us who really care about public safety as well as quality of life here. >> yeah, no question about it. i-team reporter dan noyes is here to pick up the story. dan? >> well, larry and dan, through an app on his phone, he watches his gear go across the bridge into san francisco to what an officer called a known fencing operation. if it's a known fencing operation, why haven't they shut it down? this couldn't have come at a worse time for justin schuck. he was rebuilding his life after losing everything, including his successful advertising agency. because of a substance abuse issue for four years of clean living. later he bought camera

gear and rolled in the master's film program at sf state and started taking video production jobs, including one in oakland two weeks ago. >> so i've just been driving through downtown and i was like, isn't oakland beautiful? like, i love oakland. >> justin thought he had done enough to hide the gear in the trunk of his rented tesla while he had lunch on broadway. just across from the ymca. but when he came out to find this window, shattered his camera lenses and drone gone in. justin had just bought the gear and hadn't had time to insure it. >> i like literally felt like the pit of my stomach drop. i knew that the equipment wasn't insured and so to have it gone so soon after, like buying it just was devastating. >> usually in these cases, it's smash grab and gone. you have little chance of retrieving your property. but justin had hidden tracking devices inside his gear. cases and on a phone app. he watched the criminals travel from oakland into san francisco.

>> you know, it was on post street, right? and it's literally moving. >> he's on the phone with a san francisco police officer when he sees his camera gear arrive at this location in the 300 block of leavenworth. >> and he goes, oh, yeah, that's a known major fencing operation . everybody in the bay area knows that they can bring their stolen goods and offload them there. think about that. >> but that's what he said, that is what the officer said to me on the phone. justin used to live in the area and he knows it well. and it's a block and a half not even a block and a half from the tenderloin police station. >> how are you not raiding that place on a daily basis? >> i had the same question. so i walked by the location of the alleged fencing operation to the tenderloin police station and called its captain, sergio chen. he did not return my messages. i reached an sfpd spokesperson who would not comment on the leavenworth site, but emailed at this time, we cannot disclose

any information on the location you referred to based on possible ongoing investigations . i also checked with the supervisor for this district, dean preston, not only about the possible fencing operation, but also about this mess that has taken over part of the street and sidewalk. he said he didn't have time for an interview, but texted. our office has repeatedly engaged departments about the various challenges on the 300 block of leavenworth, and our understanding is that this block is part of a joint field operation that includes very departments and the sfpd. >> the city has made no noticeable real progress. >> just yesterday day, preston chaired a committee about the car break ins and updated an anti fencing reward program set up by mayor breed two years ago. it offers up to $100,000 for information leading to an arrest of those dealing in stolen goods . preston said no money ever has been paid out as part of the rewards program.

>> but it's also, i think, important to circle back and look at what's working, what isn't frustrate ing times for justin shuck some one who lived in oakland and now calls san francisco home. >> i mean, i honestly think it's time for new leadership at every level because this has gone on long enough and i'm sick and tired and i'm sick and tired. >> this incident might have been recorded on the ymca surveillance cameras and justin asked them and the police to save it. i started asking questions about it. and today the ymca reported that the video has been recorded over even though we asked they didn't save it in time. that's larry then. >> that's incredible. and it's so wild that everybody knows it's this open market for selling this stuff and it's still operates before we let you go, how are you doing after the attack on sunday with your arm? >> oh, i appreciate you asking a little achy, you know, and that's a whole separate story. and if people want to know more about what happened, that's all on my social media.

>> but you had a few weeks to go with this. >> then it looks like a couple of months, maybe three months. yeah. and of course, the worst part is it's surfing season now. >> i know. >> no surfing for down for the count for a bit. >> you'll be good. >> well, i would advise people to check out your video on twitter because it's really compelling and it shook me up. yeah. because it could happen to anybody at any time. just being attacked randomly. so i appreciate. kerry. take care. thank you. thanks dan. all right. you can get the full picture of public safety in your area with our abc7 news neighborhood safety tracker shows you a wide range of stats for san francisco, oakland and san jose and you'll find it on the front page at abc7 news.com. >> all right. now to developing news that you are well aware of our poor air quality because of wildfires burning near the oregon border. it's sticking around longer than we originally thought. there's another spare the air alert for tomorrow. that's our fourth day in a row. and of course abc7 news meteorologist sanjay patel is tracking the conditions. sandy the weekend is upon us. >> any relief in sight here? >> we will get some relief on sunday. okay dan and larry, let

me show you a live picture right now. i know it's really hard to breathe out there and burning eyes, scratchy throat, all those things. the view from downtown oakland, from emeryville, camera pretty much is a hazy, smoky view you extended. is that spare the air alert because the poor air quality for parts of the bay area is going to hang around tomorrow. but you will notice it's moderate elsewhere and then sunday we are looking at good air quality across our entire region in right now in the good to moderate category. that's not going to last very long. the smoke will settle overnight tonight. so as we look at the smoke forecast, 7:00 tonight, we're still dealing with it 7:10 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, we still have some smoke and haze and then late tomorrow night into sunday, we finally start to see a break as the onshore winds ramp up. so it's not so much tomorrow, they're kind of light, but then stronger sea breeze will push that smoke eastward. just some safety reminders. keep your doors and windows shut. put your ac on, recirculate if you do have ac, bring your pets

inside. really limit exposure as much as possible. well, as we look at live doppler seven, there is a storm on the way. it's an atmospheric river for the pacific northwest and far northern california. i'll let you know what we're going to get out of it and when we can expect that hour by hour forecast coming right up, larry. >> all right, sandra, see you with the seven day in a few minutes with the poor air quality, experts are advising people to stay inside. but you know, it's the weekend coming. some people don't want to miss out on their plans that they've already made. abc seven news reporter answer hassan live in danville with that story. answer yeah, that's right, larry. >> people really want to get out for the weekend. there was a homecoming parade earlier today. now people here at central valley high school getting ready for that 7 p.m. kickoff. the school district says they are monitoring air quality. there's still a bit of haze and higher elevations, but no smell of smoke, which is a big change from just a few days ago. the san ramon valley high school parade through downtown danville

is an annual homecoming tradition. we always have the big rally and the big parade downtown where, you know, the floats go through and the various town dignitaries. >> so it's a lot of fun. >> proud parents and excited players. didn't seem to be too concerned with the weather. the school district says they're monitoring air quality and cleared the teams to play well. there's nice and any concern with the smoke that we had? >> no, we've we've been okay all week and all signs seem to point towards the same direction right now, despite the excitement on the ground, there's still some lingering haze around mount diablo and the valley below. >> when you've got a complex of fires burning as we do right now in northern california, southern oregon, somebody somewhere is going to be downstream and getting a lot of smoke and right now, we're the unlucky ones. >> professor alison bridger is with the department of meteorology and climate science at san jose state university. she says haze from wildfires is not uncommon this time of year. she adds that the air quality has improved over the past week,

but recommends even if you don't smell smoke, it's still important to take precautions. >> the smoke is a collection of tiny particles and those can get into your lungs and in the right concentration on the wrong day at the wrong time. they could potentially do some damage. >> i guess until you smell something or notice it, you don't really think about it. >> kayvon rashidi and gabriel carver have been hiking almost every morning and seem unfazed by the haze. >> besides the visibility, it felt pretty good today. >> okay. better than the past few days. relative >> ali, i've been hiking almost every day with the weather. i can't really tell a difference. a little bit of like maybe it seems a little bit harder. but besides that, all good. >> professor bridger says strong winds in oregon will likely push that smoke up north. and we should actually likely have blue skies come sunday. reporting live on san hassan, abc seven news. >> they will be welcome. thk you answer. you can see where the fires are burning and

monitor our air quality. all of that in our online interactive tracker. check it out at abc7 news.com and of course trees can help improve air quality. >> coming up next, what it will take to add trees to some of our urban areas and build a better bay area. >> and speaking of building a partial highway closure that'll last all all weekend, be advised because it starts in just but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck?

that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

in places like san francisco and oakland. they have small urban tree canopies compared to other major cities. >> an abc7 news reporter leanne melendez is here with a look at how that's about to change. leanne. >> that's right. you know that when you look from above, only 20% of oakland is covered with trees. is that right? and san francisco, the number is much lower. >> interesting, right? >> so when we talk about building a better bay area, improving the environment has to be part of that goal. now san francisco and oakland received some promising news from the federal government. both cities will receive millions of dollars

to plant trees on streets that have been mostly bare for san francisco has long carried a reputation for being conscientious about the environment. but yet, ironically, there are parts of the city that look more like a concrete jungle barren of trees than an urban oasis ice. >> so the temperatures in those neighborhoods that don't have trees or green space can be much higher, ten degrees or more higher than other parts of the city. >> the city's rapid growth is partly to blame. in 1848, there were about 1000 residents because of the gold rush of 1849, the population grew to 25,000. by 1859, ten years later, san francisco's population soared to 80,000. back then, there was so much focus on expansion and on building housing that they really didn't carve out enough space for sidewalks. therefore where there is limited room for street trees, a lot of our buildings are built right to the sidewalk. >> and so there's not room for a

tree to grow large and for a canopy to expand. >> as a result, san francisco has one of the smallest urban tree canopies among big cities just 13.7, measured by the amount of land covered by trees. when viewed from above, the national average is just over 27. and while some neighborhoods have tree lined streets that beautify the area, the city's tree canopy is inequitably distributed, with underserved communities lacking behind a map created from state data by the abc7 news data team shows in light yellow, which areas are in most need of trees? for example the tenderloin and south of market neighborhoods. but don't get confused used most san franciscans love their trees and in 2016 voters approved a measure that sets aside $19 million a year from the general fund to care and maintain street trees, but not necessary to plant new ones that is about to change after san francisco was

awarded $12 million from the federal government to plant thousands of new street trees. so with this grant we have for the next five years, we're going to be able to double the amount of money we use for planting trees in san francisco. >> we're always looking for sustainable funding sources. this kind of gives us a head start and momentum. >> the larger goal of our urban forest plan is to plant to get to 155,000 street trees. we currently have 125,000 street trees, so we need to plant 30,000 new trees by 2040 as our goal public works is now calling this proposed expansion of the canopy. >> the bloom loop to counter the national narrative that the city by the bay is at risk of being in that doom loop. we keep hearing so much about the requiem nation and parks department will also receive another 2,000,000 million grant to plant trees in parks located in the south eastern part of the city. another part of the component of the grant that recreation parks is getting is going towards workforce development. >> so that means cultivating and

creating a workforce within the southern eastern neighborhoods to help with maintaining the trees. >> san francisco isn't alone in getting new trees. the yellow areas on the map show that many parts in oakland are barren of trees. oakland was also awarded 8 million to increase its tree canopy on public and private land and to deal with deferred maintenance. back in san francisco, this will be the city's nursery hub already under construction. from here, many of the new street trees will be planted in those neighborhoods that for years have been crying out for help, like the tenderloin, the south of market area and the bayview hunters point district. but even if you don't live in one of those neighborhoods, you can still request that a tree be planted on your street. one of the things that i heard from people when i told them that i was doing this story was, you know, can i have a tree in front of my house? and that's the question that i want to ask you. can anybody call you and say, i want a tree?

>> yeah, that's exactly the question we want to hear because we want people to want trees to love trees. and we can help them plant trees if there's a space where they can do it, we'll send an inspector out to see if this is a good location. even if it's not something that you can do right in front of your home or business, you can maybe work with a neighborhood group to see if there are other areas where you can plant trees. >> so let's be clear in those three underserved neighborhoods we mentioned, they are going to plant trees. whether people request them or not. now, if you live outside of those neighborhoods and want a tree, you will need a permit from public works. but the permits are free. so typically, nonprofits like friends of the urban forest, will also plant those trees and they will care for them for three years again, for free. another thing that people don't know is that even if you rent in san francisco and oakland, you can still or at least in san francisco, that i know of you can still ask them to plant a tree because cause the sidewalks belong to the city of san francisco. so you don't need the permission of your

landlord. >> that's. and when you see the pictures you showed of neighborhoods with trees and without the difference is really stark. if you take time to really notice, it makes a huge difference. >> yeah, psychologically, i think it's sort of peaceful. i like green. >> the whole feel is different. totally tranquil. >> yeah. thanks, liane. sure. yeah >> well, i think we could say the whole planet probably needs more trees, right? and a little sunshine for the trees would be nice. >> meteorologist said patel is here. and maybe sandia, perhaps . yes. as we hit fall, a little rain to wash out our smoky air. >> yes. and we're going to see good air quality this second half of our weekend. dan and larry, good evening to all of you. i want to show you a live picture from our sutro tower camera. yeah, the filthy air is still with us. you can see that smoke just hovering over san francisco. but the air quality is going to improve, not immediately. spare the air through tomorrow, sunday is good. monday and tuesday are good as well. so we are headed in the right direction. we're going to have to just wait another day area of low pressure has shifted off to the east. we

still are seeing the wind flowing off the ocean out of the northwest and that's dragging that smoke in from near the oregon border. but as you look at live doppler seven, the clouds have pulled away. everybody is enjoying sunshine right now as we look at this live view from our walnut creek camera. you can see some sun there, 63 in the city, 65 in oakland. temperatures today in the 60s to 80s range a few degrees below average for most of you. mountain view, 66, san jose, you're at 70 and 68. in palo alto, you're certainly seeing blue skies from our golden gate bridge camera. and here are those temperatures. upper 60s, napa, santa rosa, fairfield, you're at 77 degrees. concord livermore, low 70s. and this is what we want to see. more blue sky. you will see it on sunday as we look from our exploratorium camera. fall arrives tonight at 11:50 p.m. hazy skies tomorrow. good air quality sunday and we do have the first rain of the season on on monday. and it's looking like a pretty good chance that we'll see some wet weather, low clouds pushing in tomorrow morning. so

your saturday morning will start out with the overcast skies. the clouds pull back and then push right back in later on tomorrow night, your morning temperatures will be in the 40s and the 50s, a sign that the seasons have changed. by tomorrow morning, as you start to notice that cooler pocket of air, there. by tomorrow afternoon in the south bay. looking at 75 in san jose, it's going to be a nice day in sunnyvale, 72 degrees, 78in morgan hill on the peninsula, 71 in palo alto, 74. redwood city, low 60s right near the coast, san francisco, 65 degrees. you'll have a little bit of a breeze near the coast, but not as strong one until sunday. hazy skies in the north bay, napa, 7174. san rafael, 75 in santa rosa. these temperatures running a little bit behind where you should be, 68 in oakland, 71 in fremont. head inland and you've got the hazy sunshine, 78 in fairfield, 76 degrees in concord . accuweather seven day forecast. we're going to go with a mild weekend for this first weekend of fall. hayes will give way to brighter skies good air quality for outdoor activities

sunday and then that good air quality sticks around early next week as we bring in the opportunity for some wet weather on monday, going into early tuesday, milder weather midweek, but overall, we're heading in the right direction. so, larry and dan, just one more day. we can do this. >> we don't have a choice. we don't have a choice. >> that is true. >> all right. thanks, stefan. >> yeah. all right. >> speaking of not having a choice, are you prepared to pay more on your next p-g-and-e's bill? no, i know, right? coming up, a look at why the utility is planning to raise rates for 16 million customers. stay

a look at what it would take to revive the program called patrol specials. >> crime in san francisco is trending up, according to the latest city police data robbery is over. the last 12 months. are

up 6% compared to the annual average over the last four years. vehicle thefts are also up 19% compared to the yearly average. city officials are now getting creative. looking at the past to stop future crime. they're considering something called patrol specials. >> a patrol special is a modified private security. so this also will free up our police officers to actually fight crime. >> san francisco commissioner deborah walker presented this proposal to the police commission this week, hoping to officially bring back a squad of this type to the city. >> is an existing program that began back in the gold rush days when we didn't have police. but it's always operated sort of side at the same time as our police department currently, there's only one patrol special still active in san francisco. >> he urged sfpd's chief and other commissioners to revive this program. >> when i became patrol special

in 1977, it was 450 patrol specials that was assistance and beat owners. >> sfpd is about 600 officers short patrol specials would be assigned to specific blocks where businesses request their services. in the past, they have been armed and their uniform is very similar to that of an officer. >> here we have our ambassador program as we are looking at using police reserves and paying them. >> there are about 260 businesses in fisherman's wharf . the community benefit district says safety is a major concern. >> the patrol specialist program is crime prevention through presence, and that is what we're asking for. just having them around will give tourists, they'll make them feel safer as the police commission irons out the details. >> supervisor peskin is also worried about why they disappeared. >> the police officers union was never big. fans of the patrol special. they saw them as competition. we're no longer in those days. we're short several

hundred police officers, so hopefully those issues will go away. >> now, we also contacted the san francisco police union for comment and did not hear back. there's also an issue of fairness because some neighborhoods will be able to afford patrol specials and some won't. for now, the police commission is working with sfpd to define on what the training and strategy will be moving forward in the newsroom, lou pena, abc seven news. all right . >> happening tonight, the start of a highway shutdown and it is going to last. all weekend. so s of highway 87 will be closed at 9 p.m. now, this is in san jose between julian street and highway 85. this is for a major lane reason surfacing project, doesn't it feel like every road you're on is being resurfaced right now as everywhere but this closure is expected to run through 5:00 on monday morning. >> i don't know if it's everywhere, but it's every road i see. yeah, the city of martinez is hosting its first ever pride event tomorrow. it's happening at the waterfront park

from 11 until two. abc seven news reporter lena howland is taking a closer look at what this event really means to the community. >> for the first time in martinez history, the city is holding its first pride celebration on saturday. >> i went to school in martinez and i remember there was nothing available for pride. >> cristian aguirre is executive director of the rainbow community center. the lgbtq nonprofit serves people of all ages. in 19 cities across contra costa county. this year, it's the main event sponsor for martinez pride. >> we really want to elevate that message to create awareness and also to allow people to feel welcome everywhere they go in our county. >> and for the main organizer, sarah tucker, it's personal. >> it just it helps, right? as a parent and as a queer person myself, it helps to know that our community is behind us. >> martinez is now one of several smaller communities that have adopted their own pride. instead of relying on events in

larger cities. tucker says with a rise in anti lgbtq legislation across the country this year, pride has never been more important. >> there are lgbtq folks everywhere and we like to see it in our communities. we want to know that our local businesses support us and our city council supports us. and so it's important to have representation. it's important for our kids to have representation. >> martinez mayor brian zorn says the event is also proudly backed by the city, with a $2,500 cultural grant. >> in addition, it really shows our lgbtq community living in martinez that they're seen and that they're loved by their martinez neighbors. >> but with future grant funding uncertain, the rainbow community center is still seeking more sources of funding to make sure pride can continue next year. >> so we're trying to bring more community members to step in and also build a donor base for us to sustain throughout many years. >> and if they can contribute to

this group, then that will ensure that we're able to have this event annually in martinez, lena howland, abc seven news. >> up next, a wet spring, smoky skies and rain expected next week. winemakers, they sure have dealt with a lot this year and now it's harvest time. >> also here, the senate has already left washington, d.c. for a long weekend and those weekends could get really long for government workers if a shutdown is not averted by next week's deadline. we'll have the latest

to make plans for government shutdown. only eight days remain before the september 30th deadline to fund the government . and today, the white house directed agency heads to update their shutdown plans. that means federal employees could be told as early as next week if they're going to be furloughed. and a shutdown would also force troops to work without pay and place a

hold on disaster relief and other federal oversight agencies . >> i just believe if you're not funding the troops and you're not funding the border, it's pretty difficult to think that you're going to win in a shutdown. the shutdown threat comes because of gop infighting with some hard right republicans demanding steep spending cuts. >> well, the city of capitola today kicked off repairs on the wharf. >> you'll recall it was nearly destroyed by winter storms. city officials held a ceremony to celebrate the start of the construction there. community members came together in the past few months in support of this project $210,000 raised. so far for enhancements to the wharf. well the city is going to rebuild the wharf, but our goal is to put the bling on the wharf. >> we want to have binoculars, new seating, new benches, shade structures, new lighting. just make the wharf better. >> restoration leaders hope the wharf will be back and better than ever by this time next year. all right. >> coming up next. see the forecast for the first days of

we're moving quickly now to pick some varietals a little faster than usual. but despite the weather and the challenges it's creating, many are optimistic that 2023 will actually be a very good vintage. abc7 news reporter cornell bernard is in wine country. >> i'm really happy with the way the my crew has gone through and balanced this canopy. >> it's a busy week for steve letson, a fifth generation winemaker in kenwood. >> i'm up at 3:00 in the morning getting people organized and i'm out in the vineyards checking fruit and stuff. >> it's harvest time for many white grape varieties. most of the picking happening overnight to keep the fruit cool. >> we picked a the last week. it's a small block up in

mountain terraces. it's just incredible. we only make 50 cases of an incredible wine and so now we're looking at chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. >> steve says the 2023 harvest has been delayed 2 to 3 weeks after a cool, wet spring which slowed grape ripening. and now there's more weather challenges ahead. and all the smoke in the air from wildfires up north. not a huge concern to steve and his crew because the particles are so high in the atmosphere. but rain in the forecast is a different story for grapes still on the vine. >> our red grapes cabrillo, all the reds that won't really bother them that much. that's not going to do anything but white grapes. what can happen, especially if you have tight clusters, is get boatwright or some mildew bunch rot and stuff like that in there. the approaching rain is accelerating the picking of the grapes. >> normally at this time of year, we're we're in the 80s and even in the 90s in mid september. so that's been a concern. it's kind of stalled the ripening process. >> brooks painter from bay city winery in saint helena says his priority is harvesting white grape varieties at the label's

vineyard here in the anderson valley, which could see three quarters of an inch of rain in the coming days. >> last thing you want is a heavy rain right at the end of harvest when we're essentially ready to pick the grapes. >> i've been doing this my whole life since i was a little kid. >> steve says his farmers. you have to pivot with changing weather conditions. and he believes when the harvest is done, they'll be something worth toasting to. >> as far as the vintage quality, i think it is going to be one of the best. just incredible. >> and kenwood, cornell, bernard, abc seven news. >> that's good news, right? the wine may be good this year. >> absolutely. so my sources tell me that that fall actually will begin tonight here ten minutes to midnight. so set your set. my watch. go outside. 1150. well, my source is sandy, right? she's all of our sources. >> yes. i'm glad to hear larry and don. yes, autumn arrives tonight at 11:50 p.m. and as we

head into the fall, here's what we're expecting. some big changes, a flood watch has already been issued for parts of northwest california, northern california, into oregon sunday through monday, as they are expected, quite the soaker parts of northern california looking at one, 2.5in of rain with the atmospheric river. pacific northwest is going to get slammed for us. we're just going to get an opportunity for some wet weather between monday and early tuesday day. now, we're not expecting a lot of rain, but you'll notice here that the model is showing anywhere from about 100th of an inch in the southern part of our viewing area to a quarter of an inch in santa rosa. three quarters of an inch in ukiah. as we look at live doppler seven, low clouds have pulled away, but they're going to come back in overnight tonight. and tomorrow afternoon clears for a sunny day, but it will be a bit hazy with the smoke lingering low 60s to upper 70s as better air quality for your sunday. we're talking good air quality on the accuweather seven day forecast and we're going to keep that good air

quality going as a front sweeps through here pretty potent for this time of year for northern california. but here we have the opportunity for some showers between monday and tuesday. dan and larry will warm it back up middle of next showers would be great, reduces our fire danger we like. absolutely. that's what we want to see. >> thanks, andrea. i have the best sources. you do? yeah. i'm glad. sports, weather, you name it. speaking to sports. you know, we were talking about this and whether i should move my chair to the other side because you don't want to do the sports over there. i'll do it right here. okay. perfect. 40 niners off to a three and zero start. a lot of smiling faces last night. it's always fun to catch up with the goat. jerry rice. does he think the niners are going to the

us contract extensions for general manager john lynch and coach kyle shanahan. those two joined forces back in 2017.

they've done everything except win the super bowl and i hope to get that box checked. this year. terms of their new deals, not released. i took the 49 ers kind of a while to get their offense rolling last night because the giants were blitzing brock purdy all night long. deebo samuel, huge game six catches, 129 yards and a spectacular touchdown late debo's bruising style of running after the catch. it takes its toll on the defense, but it also takes its toll on him because he gets banged up. i asked debo after the game if he ever thinks about maybe maybe avoiding some contact, but do you ever think just go down a little bit earlier than that? >> not that's not the way i think. i just try to get every yard possible for us, like moving the chains and stuff. but it's just my mindset. i'm not just going to fall to the ground and just like allow one person to bring me down. >> i think it's the stuff that he does when he when the ball is in his hands and being able to just refuse to go down. that's

so fun to watch. you know, any time he gets the ball, it's important that, you know, you better continue to go try to find a block because you don't know what tackle he's going to break or how many. >> as long as we're talking about great 49 ers, wide receivers, debo and everybody else, they're just playing catch up to jerry rice. in fact, last night, christian mccaffrey merely tied jerry's franchise record of 12 consecutive games with a touchdown. and look, that's a lot harder to do as a wideout than a running back. i caught up with flash 8-80 pregame and i asked jerry if a trip to vegas is in our future. first of all, where do i get one of these? how do i get this? no, you know what happened? >> i had a fan to give me this out of the stands because what i do is a lot of people behind me, i sign autographs, i take pictures, i do all that. and he wanted to give me something. so he gave me this. >> and these are all legit diamonds, right? >> i don't i don't know if they are if they are, i don't know how much. but notice that right there. g-o-a-t. oh, that's kind of cool for a fan to give that

to the greatest of all time. >> you know what's fantastic, ike, is the love. you still have with all these people because it's been a minute or two since you stopped playing. >> yeah, i think it's because i still have that interaction. i still sign autographs, i still take pictures, and i always acknowledge them when i come here. >> let's talk present day 49 ers. how impressed are you with brock purdy? there's still people that say, oh, they're not sure, blah blah, blah. come on, man. >> he's going to be okay. he's doing a fantastic job. and. and i think you know, he's going to he's going to be amazing for the 40 niners. you know, he came in, he was on a seven game winning streak and he's doing it all. and the players, they love him. they love him and they're willing to sacrifice their bodies and do all of that. and they play hard for him. >> are we going to be in las vegas for a super bowl? yes i'm going to say yes. >> we're going to be in las vegas for the super bowl and the

niners are going to win it. well, it's been a while. >> it's been a while. and you got to rub the hell i got to this is this good luck or is this good luck? i don't know. what is it? it is so good to see you again. >> always good to see. >> i tell you what, one of the best things about going to the home opener is just seeing the legends like jerry rice and roger craig in the hallway. he's going one way. i'm going the other. and roger and he's, you know, high fiving and all that stuff. but the really cool thing from the 49 ers perspective is that virtually everybody i talk to and these not only 49 ers, people think if this team stays healthy, there is an excellent chance that they're in the super bowl with a great shot at winning it. that's awesome. we're off to a great start. >> three and looking strong. >> can't do any better than three. >> and oh, fun night at the game for you. absolutely. no, thanks. all right. well, finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. some of you were kind enough to notice that i've been away for a couple of weeks, returning yesterday from vacation. my wife and i went to paris, then joined my brother

and his partner in london before we all trundled off to florence, italy, where we met up with my friend and colleague spencer christian and his wife. the six of us ended the trip with a few days in rome. there is a point to this. we were in three of the world's most treasured and visited cities. san francisco is in that group. we saw wonderful things in paris, london and in rome. what we didn't see was open drug use and tent communities on busy streets. we also didn't see broken glass from an endless stream of car break ins by the hundreds and thousands. certainly there is crime, drugs and homelessness in those other cities, but we all noticed it's nothing like we see in san francisco, at least in terms of what visitors encounter . none of us was shocked by anything we saw in europe in this regard. what really matters is that sooner rather than later, people living, working or visiting this amazing city of ours get the same impression. an. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan
