“Mr. Pullman came and showed it. I thought he made a good President. And we watched the movie together, and I told him after it was over he was a good President, and I was glad we won. And it made me wonder if I should take flying lessons. But yes, I think we'd fight them off. We'd find a way to win. That's what America does. We'd find a way to win if it happened. The good thing about ``Independence Day'' is there's an ultimate lesson for that--for the problems right here on Earth. We whipped that problem by working together with all these countries. And all of a sudden the differences we had with them seemed so small once we realized there were threats that went beyond our borders. And I wish that we could think about that when we deal with terrorism and when we deal with weapons proliferation--the difference between all these other problems. That's the lesson I wish people would take away from ``Independence Day.'' Mr. Brokaw. Mr. President, we thank you very much for being our first guest here on ``InterNight,'' the new enterprise of MSNBC, which combines cable television, of course, and the Internet and telephones and over-the-air broadcasting as well. We thank you very much. We wish you well, and Bob Dole as well in the coming months.”
