something i know a little bit about having lived in oakland when jerry brown was mayor. became a lot more pragmatic. he has always been his own best counsel. but remember now today the experience he took from that. he is also 72. and one of the things that happens when you are a little bit older is you tend to sort of say what you think. this isn't something that he did when he was 36-year-old. he is a little bit more idealistic about things and willing to try new approaches. today i think he is a lot more sensible and pragmatic and centered. and the consequence of that, allan, is that he can speak the truth. and that means speaking the truth to his own party as well about how we have to come to the center and work out a compromise. >> older and wiser. >> that's part of the reason why the voters put him in at the end he has that sense but also is pragmatic about what needs to be done. >> also seems to follow an actor t first ronald reagan and now arnold schwarzenegger. >> the typical pregnancy is only 39 weeks. nice for an uncomfortable mom. but what about the baby? why t
