Jerry Brown: I’d Run for President if I Were 10 Years Younger

‘Yes, I would’ run for president, the California governor admitted

TODD: "If you were 10 years younger would you be running this year?"

BROWN: "Yes, I would."

TODD: "You would be running for president?"

BROWN: "Well, I can't say I'm running three times, so if I could go back in the time machine and be 66, you know, I might jump in. But that's a counter-factual, so we would only be speculating on that."

TODD: "(Laughs) Governor Jerry Brown, the both oldest and younger governor of California. Thanks for coming on Meet the Press, sir."

BROWN: "Thank you."

TODD: "All right. Let's get some quick reaction from the panel. Jane Harman, you should [indecipherable] good California. How about the honesty?"

HARMAN: "Go Jerry."

TODD: "Absolutely. Yes."

HARMAN: "I loved it."

TODD: "Shouldn't he run anyway?"

HARMAN: "Um --"

TODD: "Um? (Laughter)"

HARMAN: "Um, that's his call. You know, hey, what's old, doesn't seem old to me anymore, so -- (Laughter) But I remember him as he  a young governor. I think he's better now. This is Jerry Brown reaching the gold standard."
