jerry brown appears to have no choice. the state is bankrupt as far as its credit rating goes, it is the lowest in the nation. it has got no money left to spend. it has got to come up with cuts and new money to make it float. and part of that will be am spending more and more responsibility and money back to locals to have them say which way it's going to go. but for right now he has no choice but to cut and to try to work with it. >> it is a difficult position he is in. showing financial restraint at least in his gnawing raul party. that couldn't have cost too much. >> they put a limit on it of $6400 but it is not coming from you or me. coming from people doing their donations. some things never change. >> there you go. thank you very much. >>> and another historic moment in sacramento as kamala harris is sworn in as california's attorney general. >> i will well and faithfully. >> discharge the duties. >> discharge the duties. >> upon which i am about to enter. >> upon which i am about to enter. >> harris is the first wom

if you think about it, jerry brown has been in public life for his entire life. and it would be hard to imagine a meeting he's in where he doesn't know more about public policy and issues than everyone else in that room, especially with term limits these days. so it's going to be i think very hands-on, very substantive, and a little bit unpredictable. on friday already he announced some serious cuts. he closed three field offices in fresno, riverside, san diego, all counties he lost, by the way, in the election. he closed the office of first lady. he's not going to have an education adviser. so he's going to be more of the person in charge. there's going to be fewer people around him, fewer bureaucrats kind of filtering the information that he gets. so i think it's going to be -- it's going to be very interesting. >> belva: i just have to talk about one thing. you said he closed the office of first lady. but he did appoint his wife special counsel. >> he did. and she is a very powerful, influential person. she was essentially his -- in charge of the campaign. she

>> tom, this is really the crux of what's happening with jerry brown. he really does want to bloup the kind of boxes arnold schwarzenegger talked about blowing up. brown believes that absence any increases in funds, the state must shift those few paltry resources it has. for example, he is the one advocating elimination of 390 redevelopment agencies because of nearly $6 billion they collected in property taxes. instead they want to take that money, move it over to federal government with most of it going to public education. that's a big shift. arnold schwarzenegger targeted those cuts proportionately with education. the thinking is here that redevelopment and enterprise stimulates businesses. these are very different approaches. >> we saw his first news conference. he said, i think i'll get some republicans. can he pull it off? >> jerry brown has a very different political personality than arnold schwarzenegger in a state where personality often trumps political values, it just might be the difference. we'll have to see. >> thank you, sir. good to see

this is the way jerry brown has worked in the past. we have seen the chp on the scene for at least the last few hours. they are gonna do a security sweep of the auditorium very soon. the media will be let in the building at about 8:30. jerry brown is unique, of c ourse, because when we talk about this inauguration, we can refer back to his other two in ' 75 and's 79 -- and '79. brown has said he's learned a lot in the 28 hours since he left the governor's office and he will need that knowledge because sometimes have changeed. >> when jerry brown got eat l ected in 1974, the questions being asked of him were not how you are gonna fix the economy. it's a very different period of time. so now all eyes are focused on the economy to the degree they can. >> reporter: today's speech inside the war memorial auditorium is expected to be short while the budget is front and center. and keep in mind, he has another speech to give in about a week specifically about the budget. today, the speech may be more symbolic. >> his father was deemed the mas

democrat jerry brown has been sworn in as california 's 49th governor. he is inheriting a more troubled state than the one he led back then. he talked about the courage and sacrifice that will be needed ahead. >> this land is your land -- >> it started us a celebration of modern times. and the outgoing superstar, arnold schwarzenegger, next to him, gray davis. they watched as the democrats took the same oath for the third term. a career politician first sworn in 36 years ago. >> 1975 was the ending of the vietnam war and a recession caused by the middle east oil embargo. now as we gathered in this restored memorial auditorium dedicated to those who died in world war roman one, it is our soldiers fighting in iraq and afghanistan, an economy caught in the undertow of a deep and prolonged recession. >> jerry brown shows tendencies. >> i want to be a governor, not of the few, but of the many, of democrats, republicans, independents. >> he dreams of bigger things. later, another movie star led the state common-law a govern ator grand show business style. >> t

brown tomorrow his response. >> we should look for jerry brown to expend upon his inaugural address how tough it will be to match what is done for the deficit. >>> 12 .1 billion dollars in cuts, extend sales tax increases, vehicle license fee and the surcharge on income tax smart move? >> very smart puts him in a position where he put schools at risk. got to be an urgent thing for a rich organization like the teachers union to advance the ballot measure. >> i was looking at the taxes he proposed extending it is interesting what he is not proposing nothing to do with big business or oil companies, people that could finance a campaign to keep the taxes he is telling teachers if you go there are this, we will get money for your union members for k through 12. >> that is exactly the way he positioned it and believe me everybody is supporting schools. >> yeah. >> when some body has the money to do the campaign and there is no money on the opposite side of the campaign you have a better shot of passing it. >> the third part was that he said okay if we extend also these taxes i will give t

so if at all possible, i mean, jerry brown may be better liked than his predecessor. i think at this point republicans are actually giving him the benefit of the doubt. even in statements coming out after the announcement on tuesday there was -- or monday there was this real sense of they're at least giving him a shot, that they'll give it a fair hearing. and even on the issue of taxes, i mean, the republicans, let's be very clear, do not want new taxes in the state. they will probably fight even this proposal or put it on the ballot. but i think this sense of it really being the bottom of the barrel, this really being make it or break it kind of time is going to carry some weight. and i think as much as the republicans may not like taxes, they also understand that voters understand the enormity of this crisis. >> belva: well-k the governor put it on the ballot without republicans? >> no. he needs a few votes there. but even in signs from the republican caucus it looked as if there was enough wiggle room there, that jerry's made a very overt effort right from the get-
