because that super bowl thing in february, but these guys are offing to get back onto the field. they want to get the bad taste out of their mouths from super bowl lviii from las vegas last year. the 49ers have done about everything but win one that counts. they have been to four nfc championship games, two super bowls, losses in both in the last five years and the overtime loss to the chiefs in february, likely the toughest to swallow. 9ers won't be short on motivation this time and it starts with the captain fred warner. our vern glenn caught up with number 54 about the massive chip on his shoulder. >> reporter: do you have to go out with this imaginary 200-pound chip to kind of get on your shoulder to get you going? >> if that's what it takes, vern, i'll carry that imaginary 300-pound chip, whatever it takes. people will think you just get to snap your fingers and get right back to

that moment being in the super bowl again following year because you were there the year before and unfortunately, that's not how it works. you got to climb the mountain again. we do have everything we need to get back there. you don't get back there because you're talented. you got to put the work in. >> reporter: we know how important the preseason is. injuries happen. this is a chance for some young guys to step up and show they can contribute. we're excited. we've got plenty of coverage coming up tonight and we're having a good time in nashville. >> we love that. talk to you soon. thanks so much. let's get to our other big story, a homecoming for kamala harris. she's returning to the bay ar first time since becoming the democratic presidential nominee. harris has a big fundraiser sunday in san francisco. right now she and running mate minnesota governor tim walz are continuing their campaign tour of battleground states. let's take a live look now at harris' rally going on outside phoenix. phoenix is a key battleground state. let's listen in to what she has to

say. >> the ideals of our country. that's how we preserve the promise of america and after all, the promise of america is what makes it possible for governor walz and me to be on the same stage together. think, two middle class kids, one a daughter of oakland, californian , raised by a working mother, had a summer job at mcdonald's, the other, a son of nebraska plains who grew up working on a farm. think about it. only in america is it possible for them together to make it all the way

to the white house. >> you're listening to kamala harris' campaign rally in glendale, arizona. then she heads to las vegas for a campaign event tomorrow. following that she's on her way to san francisco. harris' arrival in the bay area is expected to add to a very busy weekend for traffic in the city. preparations are underway for her fundraiser. we have details and all the excitement from harris supporters. >> reporter: it's been a whirlwind campaign season for the democratic party with vice president kamala harris now stepping in as the presidential nominee. the vp is slated for a bay area homecoming saturday for a private fundraiser at the fairmont hotel with tickets costing as much as 50,000 a pop. this event is harris' first time back in the bay as the 2024 presidential candidate and supporters like pat johnstone say it feels like harris has revived the party.

>> she's coming home. this is her community. we are here people. >> reporter: the vp will mostly be among friends for this fundraiser. historically blue mega donors in san francisco are expected to donate millions to her campaign, including some tech big wigs. reid hoffman, co-founder of linkedin and ron conway are supposedly on the list of names. other industry giants shifted their support to the trump campaign, with many attending j.d. vance's fundraiser last month. >> i think the energy in the room will show the kind of excitement that democrats across the nation are feeling about this campaign now. >> reporter: this isn't harris' only fork in the road. nolan higdon says while young voters are certainly more energized following biden's exit, they're still concerned about key issues. >> the gaza issue is going to be critical for her because those young voters were turning against biden, either refusing to vote or some threatening to vote for trump. she's going to try and keep those voters.

>> reporter: criticism aside, harris returns to san francisco having reset the race for the white house and having fired up a key democratic base. >> her candidacy and the choice of governor walz has really turned the dynamic around in terms of young people's involvement. >> reporter: the fairmont hotel did tell us they are preparing now getting everything ready. they've got signs up to let you know where you can and can't park. we should know at this point all tickets for this event are sold out. >> wow. quite a price range, too, for all the donors. we'll know when she's along her route, shows streets will be closed off and we'll know someone is coming through, a dignitary. thank you so much. meanwhile former president donald trump is expected to appear at a rally in montana later this evening, but his plane was diverted over a mechanical issue. the plane landed safely in billings. trump headed to the rally in another plane. former san francisco mayor willie brown setting the record

straight after donald trump claimed the two of them were involved in a scary helicopter emergency landing. >> well, i know willie brown very well. in fact, i went down in a helicopter with him. we thought maybe this is the end. we were in a helicopter going to a certain location together and there was an emergency landing. this was not a pleasant landing and willie was a little concerned. >> so we caught up with willie brown today and asked him about it. he told us it wasn't true. >> i just heard about it like everybody else, somewhere on television or radio. no. are you kidding me? i wouldn't ride with him for fear something might happen to the helicopter. >> well, trump may have been mixing up willie brown with former california governor jerry brown. he and trump rode in a helicopter together to tour paradise after the camp fire in 2018. no emergency landing was reported. to see
