I have some very big news, ma'am.

3
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:23,225
POTUS isn't going to run again in two years.

4
00:00:23,323 --> 00:00:26,167
I'm gonna run.
I'm gonna run for president!

5
00:00:26,226 --> 00:00:28,137
Together we are going to make history.

6

- My brain is at your service, ma'am.
-We'll see.

7
00:00:30,297 --> 00:00:32,470
- Can we make it public?
-No, no, no, no.

8
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:34,035
We got to wait for POTUS
to make a statement.

9
00:00:34,134 --> 00:00:36,637

-West Wing.

-Could be.

Is that a Star Wars reference,
"A New Beginning"?

16
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:58,533
No, this is actually <i>Some New Beginnings:

17
00:00:58,592 --> 00:01:00,401
Too late to change it?

18
