"today in the bay's" garvin thomas shares his story. >> ryan says if you ask him two months ago where he would be and what he would be doing now, his guess wouldn't be cloese to the reality. it is just that way sometimes when you find your calling. you don't always know where that call is going to come from. the czu lightning complex fire ended up burning 86,000 acres. >> so now we will head up 236. >> reporter: all of it too much for ryan ocran to sit and watch or a big one. you were thriving, from 2,500 miles away. but then... oh. ah. >> i just felt a very burning okay. plan, pivot. passion inside my body to get how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, back here. and then the next one is jamison

with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. creek. >> reporter: you see, ryan knows the mountain he could help but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. so how do i do this? you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business.

as we try to navigate and digest what is happening in this country, perspective is important, especially when it comes to leading the state of california and combatting climate change. there aren't many politicians who are still relevant at 82, but jerry brown is one of them. the former governor, former presidential candidate and former mayor of oakland, among the many roles and positions he has held, is still an active voice, especially when it comes to global warming. our own raj mathai chatted with brown from his ranch south of sacramento and began asking when the last time was that our country was so divided. >> i don't think we have ever been in this kind of turmoil. during the vietnam war there were massive demonstrations. there were shootings. it was bad. but somehow this feels like the

republic itself is being torn apart by those on the right, those on the -- on the side of the left, and there doesn't seem to be a strong center holding this all together. i would say in my lifetime this is unprecedented. >> reporter: what's your biggest fear if donald trump gets reelected in november? >> take america wihat america w war by miscalculation or lack of clarity and prudence at the national level. my longer term fear is that the climate will accelerate in its warming, and california will be burning massively, even worse than it is today, and the flooding and the migrations. the world will become less governable. it is not so governable right now, but if we don't get a climate change and we don't mobilize, it will get worse.

>> if joe biden wins this election, what's the number one thing on his to-do list in your opinion in terms of climate change? >> the number one thing to do is bring as much of the country together as you can. get some republicans, some business guys, get some bernie democrats, bernie-crats. get them talking together. get the labor unions, get the environmentalists. we have to pull together. we can't solve every problem overnight. get a longer term plan, but build a consensus. if the center doesn't hold, america is destined for deep trouble. >> reporter: we've known you for a long time as an optimistic leader. are you optimistic regardless of what happens comes november? >> no. no, i'm not going to be pessimistic, but i wouldn't say optimistic. the basis is such involved with other problems, but the future brings new things.

so i would say stay ready. not stay on edge, but stay alert, and america cannot take its role in the world for granted and it can't take its democracy for granted. our way of life in many ways is being modified and it is subject to great risk, and the only way forward is for leaders transcending party to mobilize the better angels of our spirit. >> governor brown, thank you for your time and your insight. stay safe up there. we appreciate it. >> will do. >> that was our own raj mathai with a one-on-one with former governor jerry brown. the former governor, by the way, speaks from experience. jerry brown was able to work with both sides of the aisle on many issues here in california, climate change and balancing the budget among many. california has passed a first-in-the-nation law to cut down on the amount of plastic in our landfills. plastic drink containers will
