>> the governor of california, nice guy, he is a nice guy, i knew him a long time ago, has not done the job. >> the governor has made it clear. any time you attack the things that have helped california succeed, we going to speak out. >> he's a leader, he punches above his weight. he's not someone who is going to wait for permission, he asks not even for forgiveness. >> after jerry brown signed a bill that essentially declared california a sanctuary state, the department of justice filed a lawsuit claiming california was obstructing federal immigration policy. brown and his administration fought back. >> the trump white house, they >> governor brown has said what i have said on the issue of addressing our immigrant families. is -- we protect those who work

hard to build up our state and make our neighborhoods better. >> the state of california filed dozens of lawsuits against the federal government. challenging everything from the travel ban to birth control, to fuel economy standards. brown not one to mince words vowed to fight what he deems the quote stupidity of some of the administration's environmental policies. >> this is a fundamental issue. this issue of climate change. it is a threat to organized human existence. maybe not in my life. i'll be dead. but what am i 7? what do i have five years more? ten years more, 15? i don't know. 20? most of you people when i look out here, a lot of you people are going to be alive. brown is currently one of the loudest voices in the fight against climate change and has been since 1970 when his environmental positions then made him an outlier in american politics. >> we're killing the oceans,

we're killing the lakes. >> now there's a new timeliness to jerry brown, the longest-serving governor in california history. >> in june 2017 when president trump announced that the united states was withdrawing from the paris climate accord, brown side-stepped the federal government. forging his own environmental pacts with leaders all over the world. >> i'm not the president, but i am the governor of the biggest state and we're not standing by ourselves. >> in fact 175 states in the regions are representing over one billion people. they have all joined our coalition. >> the feud between brown and president trump continued in 2018 against the backdrop of the largest wildfire in california history. on twitter, president trump partially blamed california water policy for the blaze. brown vehemently disputed the president's claims. >> some of the president's statements have no attachment to

facts. they're untethered and they don't help. >> he's looking at what's been built there. he does not want to see it jeopardized and protecting it is very important. >> in the course of his political life, brown has been in elected office a total of more than 30 years. despite a gap of nearly three decades between stints in the california state house. >> i was one of the youngest governors, now i'm the oldest governor of america. >> he followed ronald reagan and he followed arnold schwarzenegger, i guess that's a testimonial to california politics. >> the brown family's california roots go back to the gold rush and a german immigrant named august shuckman. >> my great grandfather left in 1849 and he got on a sailing ship named perseverance. and he came over here across the plains. in the covered wagon. >> as the years passed, the

family expanded to include the descendants of immigrants from ireland, france and italy. a history that brown still studies. >> i fillings out the family tree and everyone's relatives that are alive and calls them up and goes over and visits them. they're just i think in shock that here's the governor of california. >> brown inherited his inquisitiveness from his mother. bernice lane. his ambition came from his father. known at pat. california's governor from 1959 to 1967. >> pat brown was very interested in building california infrastructure. he opened three university of california campuses one year, 1965. he built freeways as fast as he could. he built the great california canal that ships water from

northern to southern california. he worked hard in building the california dream. >> on a regular basis, pat brown was cited as a potential presidential candidate but his son, edmund gerald brown injure or jerry, didn't always present the image the family wanted. >> our neighbors down the street had put new sidewalk down and so it was wet cement. and my brother had just learned to write and he wrote big as could be, jerry brown. and so when the parents came home and they saw their new sidewalk sign, jerry brown, they went and knocked at the house and my brother was held responsible for it. >> when he reached his teens, though, the young rebel seemed to undergo a metamorphosis. >> he said he doesn't remember this, but it happened, his girlfriend at the time organized a surprise birthday party and he never showed up.

it was during lent. and he had gone to do the stations of the cross at five churches or something in san francisco. and we knew that that was -- something serious. >> the governor's son and namesake was called to the priesthood. >> my mother would not let him enter the seminary until he turned 18. he wanted to go when he was 17. and she said no, you cannot. she was not raised catholic and she did not want her only son to go into the novitiate. she thought i think he would get over it if he waited. >> but after a year at santa clara university, brown entered a jesuit seminary. where he was expected to spend most of his day in meditative silence. >> well i remember the first few weeks, maybe longer than that, i had a pain in my stomach. i couldn't talk. and i'm so used to talking and i talk a lot. >> after three and a half years, brown tired of the rules and

obedience and left the seminary. after graduating from uc berkeley, he attended yale law school. >> he comes back to california and takes the very tough california bar exam. and he flunks. then he goes and just absolutely shuts himself away from the world at the governor's mansion. and he studies and studies and studies. >> he had been studying on the third floor for the california bar exam. he heard this noise down in the living room and it was late at night. and he went downstairs and he listened and realized it was the speaker of the state assembly and a rival in many ways to my father and they were arguing violently about a major policy and political issue. and jerry said this is definitely more interesting than what i'm doing. i think that captured his imagination. >> on the second try brown passed the bar, but a career in

law was not in the cards, he his sights set on other ambitions. >> coming up -- >> i believe that the people of california would like a respite from me. and so in some ways i would like a respite from them. insurance that won't replace

the vote. >> when jerry brown's father was defeated by ronald reagan, that was literally the exit for that round. and interestedly enough, the entry for jerry brown. >> after holding a number of smaller offices, the second generation politician was elected california secretary of state in 1970. he was 32 years old. >> jerry came into a client backwater of an office and promptly started making headlines just as fast as he could. with reagan planning to leave the governorship to pursue national office brown announced his candidacy for his father's old job in 1974. >> how many young men have the same name as the governor of california. >> i think the next four or five months there's potential greatness in my son. >> brown also took advantage of

the country's fatigue with the republican party. >> therefore, i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. >> 88 days after president richard nixon's resignation, 36-year-old brown was swept into office. >> he this this aura of liberalism and cleaning up politics and he had not a breath of scandal associated to him. >> it was part of opening up government and appointing people like me a 24-year-old woman never had held a job. i think i had my jobs in his administration, i was always the first woman to do it hispanics, african-americans. asians. really making the government of california look like the people of california. >> he was very interested in shaking up the system. >> brown refused to live in the new governor's mansion, choosing a simple apartment in sacramento instead and rejected the

official limousine. >> my father had a limousine, i rode in it before. i rode in it once to open the giant stadium of san francisco. people pounded on the window. they were not happy. i said well, this is not a good move. i'm going to avoid limousines. >> brown asked his chief of staff, gray davis, a future california governor himself to assign him the same type of nondescript cars other legislators used. i called up general services and they say we got plymouths this year, three colors, i said blue. the moment he becomes governor after he gives a speech before the legislature, it's onlile one car. awaiting us and it's blue, all right, but it's powder blue. and he says, oh great. that's not it, is it? i said -- i'm not sure, governor, but i think it is. >> the blue was not quite -- the muscular tone that i was probably looking for. but there it was and so i accepted it.

>> brown had neither a wife nor children. he did have a high profile girlfriend. singer linda ron stat. >> it surprised me just knowing my brother as kind of a normal, average sometimes geeky guy. to have emerged with this celebrity status. >> linda rondstat. i'm just jerry brown, standing up by the bar. you had to be a somebody to get in the game. and i did enjoy that. it was a wonderful relationship and i certainly still admire her and see her from time to time. >> still, dating was secondary to brown. who promised voters new politics. and expected staffers to help him realize it. >> there were many hours late into the night with a stream of consciousness of one idea flowing into another and fast

let them know that he's staying on the couch of a friend's house and he paid nothing. >> under brown's leadership california experienced a budget surplus. still, some legislators were disenchanted with the young governor. >> he liked to give stern lectures about how people ought to behave. >> i had ideas that were a little -- less tethered than the normal day-to-day you know, schools, crime taxes, roads. and that kind of stuff. >> among them, a proposal for california to launch its own kmu indications satellite. in response, syndicated newspaper columnist mike ryoko labeled brown, governor moonbeam. >> it told voters this is not a politician necessarily you have to take seriously, he's a little out there. he's a little kind of far on the edges. >> a space platform because it's very important for new

technology. for space monitoring. >> this is hurly-burly, give and take and you got people want to take your job. if you don't have a pretty thick skin, this is not a good business to be in. >> when jerry brown said we really do need to think about alternative sources of energy, when he talked about wind power. when he talked about solar power. way ahead of his time. and at that time, that meant something derogatory. now it would be visionary. >> let us get on with the business of rebuilding our energy self-sufficiency. >> it's an issue that has stayed with him for nearly half a century. today more than ever. >> what's needed and wanted. are political leaders dealing with the threat of climate change. so i'm not the president, but i'm the governor of the biggest state and what we're doing others can do.

11th hour and i'd like a chance, will you give it to me? >> i swear i think jerry started thinking about a a presidential bid three minutes after arriving in the governor's office, if you're governor of california you have to walk narrow plank. you have to say things like well i have this big job as governor of california and that's what i'm going to do. jerry didn't quite walk that path. >> as the 1976 presidential primary season began, georgia governor jimmy carter came out of nowhere, establishing himself as the democratic front-runner. >> it's time for new leadership, it's time for our country to move. >> the democratic party started to get nervous. they started to look and say we don't know this guy. we don't know if he's going to be a good president. we don't know if we want to nominate this guy and jerry brown, meanwhile is out there in california, largest state in the country. largest delegation to the

democratic national convention, it's in early june and the filing deadline for it is late so jerry brown looks around and decides in may of 1976, you know what? i'll go for it. >> i suppose vanity is a driver here. i wouldn't have run for president less than two years after i was governor if i didn't have a powerful drive to say hey, let's do this so i didn't. >> it's a friday afternoon. jerry calls three or four reporters over. i think just print reporters and has them sort of extract from him whether he's running for president. he says well something to the effect, i guess i am. >> sure i'm a candidate. i'll be a candidate until the process reaches its conclusion. >> about 7:00 in the evening, gray davis said jerry just announced for president there is no committee. there has been no money raised. we didn't know he was going to announce. well we put a campaign together

literally in about 36 hours. and so we put jerry on an airplane and he flew to maryland. and we won the primary. we tried to get into the oregon primary. we couldn't. it was closed out. >> jerry decided to run as a write-in candidate. saying don't write me off, write me in and we came within 29 points of winning. >> jimmy carter finally got just enough delegates to just get past the finish line. almost like a sporting event where you say if the game had just lasted five minutes longer, if there had just been three or four more primaries on the calendar, i think brown could have pulled it off in 1976. >> if jerry brown had made the decision two weeks earlier to run fof president, he would have been president of the united states. >> it's time for to us get together, to correct our mistakes to ask the difficult questions and to make our nation great. >> his presidency was marred by an energy crisis, inflation and

of course, the taking of 52 american hostages by supporters of the new islamic republic in iran. the democratic establishment's worst fears about jimmy carter had been realized and they want him out and they also think he's likely to lose the election in 1980. there's an opening for a democrat to run against jimmy carter in the democratic primaries and to potentially beat him. >> the times call out for discipline and vision, because i see neither i offer myself. as a candidate for the presidency. my principles are simple. protect the earth. serve the people, and explore the universe. >> it's rather grand when you think about it protect the earth. that's -- how are you going to do that? but explore the universe what is that? serve the people. so it sounds -- marxian or something. but that's the way it came to me. >> you presence here tonight will help protect the earth, serve the people and explore the

universe. >> technology, moon shot, getting energy from outer space, exploring outer space. human mind expanding. i framed it in that kind of grand way, that made it subject to ridicule. >> it got more complicated with senator ted kennedy announced he was running. hard for the public to deal with three people running for a major office. >> i believe a vote for carter or kennedy is a wasted vote? >> he couldn't make a dent in the national consciousness, given that all the oxygen in the room was being used you up by carter and kennedy. >> wisconsin has a great progressive tradition. >> we wanted to stage a modernistic, with it television extravaganza to boost his campaign and there was supposed to be all kinds of special effects run by francis ford coppola. >> he had a chrome key and the

chrome key didn't work. >> it turned into a fiasco. >> it looks very spacey. new-agy. it looks like the thing that governor moonbeam would put on the air. think he finishes with about 10% in wisconsin he says on the spot, that's it. i'm out of the race, i'm done. >> brown returned to sacramento, but in 1982, as his second term was winding down, he made a decision to run again. not for governor, not for president, but the united states senate. >> i was a little tired of being governor, at that point in my life i was looking for a little more excitement than the day to day. this has a lot of drudgery to it you got to show up. you got to preside. a lot of it is just being there. and you're the symbolic embodiment of the state. so that gets tedious. >> i don't think he wanted to be a senator. he didn't have the fire in the belly. he served as governor. he had a run for president, he had a lot of scars as you accumulate in politics.

and i think it just was not meant to be. >> when are you going to do if you don't win? >> i have no idea. if that happens i'll take a day and reflect on it i'm sure i'll come up with something good. >> jerry brown has worn out his welcome so much in california he loses by seven points to pete wilson. >> i believe that the people of california would like a respite from me. and in some ways i would like a respite from them. >> now it looks like jerry brown has come full circle. he's looking at a future, he's a young man with nowhere to go in politics. >> brown is about to go into political exile. what followed was a spiritual retreat that would take him to japan, india, then back into the inferno of presidential politics. coming up -- >> jerry's attack on hillary during that campaign against bill clinton might have been the beginning of crooked hillary thing. >> nothing person, this is the business we've chosen. that would be to quote the

>> a $9 billion surplus in 2018. a far cry from the $27 billion deficit brown faced when he entered office in 2011. >> some people might argue he's less idealistic, i'm not sure that's true. but he's a far more pragmatic meat-and-potatoes politician today than he was 35 years ago. >> a long-time proponent of alternative medicine, brown's perspectives on public health were challenged. when he underwent radio therapy for prostate cancer in 2012 and again in 2017. still he managed to maintain a full work schedule. as the political landscape changed, the governor of the nation's biggest state would do battle with a new president, donald trump. fueling speculation about yet another run at the oval office. coming up -- >> he's probably one of the few

one of the seven gifts of the holy spirit is fear of the lord. i thought about that. a lot of you aren't afraid and do really stupid things. you need a range of states of mind to handle the complexities of life. as jerry brown nears the end of the fourth term as california governor, he continues to tackle the most serious issue he sees confronting humanity. >> most of the scientists in the world think that climate change is a very serious matter that has to be tended to, that if it is not attended to sufficiently, millions, tens of millions,

possibly hundreds of millions and billions of people and other forms of life will suffer. >> it's a fear shared by pope francis, another former seminaryian, and in 2015, brown was part of a delegation organized by the pope to discuss strategies to limit global warming. >> we have fierce opposition and blind inertia. >> at the time, the president was barack obama describing this as a top priority, but the election of 2016 changed everything. >> so obama's talking about all of this with the global warming and the that, a lot of it is a hoax, it's a hoax. >> and, of course, calling to lock up the political opponent. >> crooked hillary has not talked about it, folks. >> these are unheard of utterances of american presidential candidates. >> they are bringing drugs. they are bringing crime.

they are rapists. we will build a great, great wall. >> jerry said i'll wall off california if trump wins. >> i can, and repeat after me -- >> how did i react to it? look, i've been around this political business a long time. i've seen things come and go, but trump is really, he is way off the norm. the trump administration started to take shape in california immediately. there was just a scramble. not necessarily led by governor brown, but legislators, you know, the attorney general, everyone just sort of scrambling to show defiance right off the bat. >> those first few days it was, well, we're just going to keep doing what we're doing, and hopefully we have a partner in d.c., but if we don't, then we're going to keep moving. it's about making sure they

don't get in our way as we move forwards. the policies of donald trump prompted brown to speak out against the president with regulari regularity, increasing the visibility of the governor, and keeping california on the front line between the administration and progressive causes. >> i can't think of two more opposite people than donald trump and jerry brown. >> jerry, quite literally, is the antedote to trump, bumping the fray and thinking a generation or two ahead. >> the united states will withdraw from the paris climate accord. >> the climate skeptics who don't get it live on political pluto. we have to bring them back to earth. >> we need a president. we need a federal government. they are of frolic and detour.

let's get the bill signed? >> in july 2017, brown extended legislation signed by his predecessor, republican arnold schwarzenegger, designed to reduce greenhouse emissions. >> there's arnold. there's jerry. quite a contrast, but you have to remember, this is california, and for california, the juxtaposition of brown and schwarzenegger probably is not that remarkable. >> this is a man who saw a lot of the issues coming with global warming, with climate change. he was on to that in the 1970s, and now he plays a leading role, but he was ready 40 years ago. >> some of the environmental laws california have that are crucial to combatting climate change, they go back to when he was first governor, and trump administration is trying to push back, and revoke california's authority to do all these things, and he's dead set on not letting that happen. >> days after president trump announced his plan to withdraw

from the paris accord, brown arrived in china, taking the mantle as a de facto environmental ambassador for the united states. >> it's crucial what they are doing, and i want california to collabora collaborate. i feel what i'm doing is important. i find it intellectually invigorating and challenging. every year as governor is better than the one before. in the last year as governor, brown signed more than 1,000 bills from gender issues, net neutrality to cliems change. there's problems to be solved like poverty and homelessness. jerry brown's current term expired in 2019, the same year the outgoing governor turns 81, leaving both allies and adversaries wondering about what the politician might do next. >> i have no idea what the next it ration of his life and his career will be, but he's not going away, and he's not going

to get quieter. >> officially, brown plans to live on the california ranch first settled by his great grandfather. >> hard to imagine him just sort of, you know, having a glass of lemonade on the porch somewhere in rural california and hanging out on the farm, but he's unpredictab unpredictable. >> there's definitely a part of me that is convinced there's a part of him that still looks at the white house and says, is there a way? is 82 really too old? what if i promise one term only? >> running for president as jerry knows as well as anyone is an difficult messy business. i don't think he needs this at this stage in his life, but this is a moment where all his skills, experience, are desperately needed nationally. >> the stakes are very high. they couldn't be any higher.

that is our central problem. we don't see the consequences, but i think insight and wisdom and certain experience in life help minimize the blindness that is inherent in human kind. ♪ >> god, no, please, no. this can't be real. a teenager, home alone and a night of terror. >> just scared the wits -- and just trying to figure out how scared she must have been. >> on her body, like a signature, a hand print in blood. >> it was a crime of
