Here’s a flashback to Brown speaking on a radio show he once had (1995)-

The conventional viewpoint says we need a jobs program and we need to cut welfare. Just the opposite! We need more welfare and fewer jobs. Jobs for every American is doomed to failure because of modern automation and production. We ought to recognize it and create an income-maintenance system so every single American has the dignity and the wherewithal for shelter, basic food, and medical care. I’m talking about welfare for all. Without it, you’re going to have warfare for all. Without a universal health care like every other civilized country, without a minimum level of income, this country will explode. You can’t blame the guy at the bottom forever. At some point there’s a reaction and we’ll see that the real criminals are those calling the tune, making the rules, and walking to the bank. We have the money, we have the brain power. The United States now has the highest measured wealth of any nation ever in the history of the world. We could rebuild our cities, we could create the kind of buying power and community well-being that will provide for peace. The guaranteed income is one way. Another way is to have always the availability of work in a nonprofit, in community service. A third is to start giving people training to develop skills where they can be self-supporting. You could come up with a cash supplement. Even conservatives have suggested a negative income tax to cut out the bureaucracy. If we were smart, we’d get rid of welfare and give people a family assistance like they do in Europe…
The problem isn’t even a problem. Automation and technology would be a great boon if it were creative, if there were more leisure, more opportunity to engage in raising a family, providing guidance to the young, all the stuff we say we need. America will work if we’re all in it together. It’ll work when there’s a shared sense of destiny. It can be done! It’s all there! What isn’t there is the leadership to create the kind of social network, the safety net, the distribution that would truly create a just and equal society…
We have to restore power to the family, to the neighborhood, and the community with a non-market principle, a principle of equality, of charity, of let’s-take-care-of-one-another. That’s the creative challenge. First, expose relentlessly the big lie that comes over the tube every night-that if you just go out and find that job, and work harder, it’ll all be fine. It won’t! There’s not enough work to go around and a lot of the pay is not fair. Unless you totally yank up that system and create a better one, unless the spirit changes, unless the heart opens, unless we confront power with the truth of our own unarmed but absolute fearless truth, we’re not going to overcome it. Evil is too embedded to be overcome by anything other than a spiritual challenge.
If it’s brown, flush it down.
We need more guns and fewer politicians.
But, I like my speech and my guns. There’s a few basic things basic Americans won’t part with in order to have a basic living.
What the government can so easily give it will take away even easier.
That’s why Linda Rondstat always sang so slow…. She had a Governor on her!
@Joe Squid ,,, he’s no good, he’s no good, he’s no goooood! Than the follow-up, Blue Balls you! Just had to, sorry,,Regards Joe,,
When Brown was Governor in the 1970’s, I don’t remember him as being this nutty.
That was twenty years BEFORE this radio show, which was twenty years before now.
He’s degraded significantly since 1980.
Back in the day he was a rabid fiscal conservative.
No, really!
The Democrat Party loves Brownie,and they Vote Cheat His ass down our Throats like ther’es no tomorrow. If Jerry can’t be Jailed, they may run him for President.I have not heard that… but I would not be surprised,since he looks Old He must be Wise ! (The Lib Sheepoles)
Unicorn poots.Sounds like he was
on LSD.
Yes, Brown was fiscally conservative when he first became governor. He tightened the budget for the California Universities so much that one professor wished they could have Gov. Reagan back.
Hard to believe but true.
Jerry Brown with Linda Rondstadt. Pfft.
Hold my Kool-Aid.

As far as I’m concerned, Jerry Brown personally help split up families so he could send young children to their deaths at Jonestown.
Marooned in Marin had a great write up about that whole scene. Including handwritten letters from famed hero Harvey Milk imploring Jimmy Carter to stop the slander against a fine man like Jim Jones and defenses from Willie Brown and warm words from Rosalynn Carter:

These people are fucking nuts. Nuts they have been and nuts they will always be.
It is amazing for me to even think this, but sometime around 1975 or so, I was in high school, and Jerry Brown was the first politician that I really was impressed by. I remember an article I read that told about him turning down the governor’s limo and mansion to save money for the taxpayers in California. I thought he was the real deal. I’m not sure if he smoked too much pot, did too much coke, or just got brainwashed by the democrats, but he is nothing like the person I respected back then.
Jerry Brown is an idealistic leftist of low IQ. Hence the name Moonbeam Brown. Perfect example is his train to nowhere for billions of tax payer dollars. Like Obama he dreams of grand ideas that cost too much and never work.
