'I think we are flirting with danger': Jerry Brown discusses international crises

KTLA

In early March, Inside California Politics co-host Nikki Laurenzo made the trip to Brown’s ranch for a lengthy conversation on several topics, including the former governor’s thoughts on global politics, specifically on relations with China and the war in Ukraine.

“Yes, we have got some problems here in California, but the big international problems are not being addressed in a way that is maximizing our chance of avoiding disaster,” Brown said when asked about rising tension with China.

“The reason why cuts are hard is the government is doing a lot of good stuff. When it comes time to cut, you are cutting good stuff, not bad stuff. It’s not an easy job.”

“Tight term limits of eight years or 10 years, that doesn’t make sense. If you want people to be in all the time, they think they own the place, and you get arrogance. If you want to keep changing…then you get ignorance.”
