00:08I would like you to just leave and give me a little privacy here, please.
00:11All right. Sorry, I hope everything's okay.
00:23Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
00:29I'm very happy to be here tonight.
00:31They tell me I'm the first sitting senator ever to host this show.
00:35Senator, we have to ask, are you considering running again in 2004?
00:41No, I have no plans to run for higher office.
00:43The president's doing a fine job.
00:45No plans, but you wouldn't say no.
00:47Tim, I have no interest in running.
00:49You didn't answer my question, Senator.
00:52What was the question?
00:54If you want to really know him, his favorite book is For Whom the Bell Tolls.
00:57The protagonist in that goes to fight in a war.
01:01It's a hopeless cause, and yet he gives his life for it.
01:05A missile took their wing off the airplane.
01:07The army came and they took me to prison camp.
01:10And one of the interrogators, he said,
01:13things will be very bad for you now, McCain.
01:22Out, McCain!
01:23Out, McCain!
01:23Out, McCain!
01:23Out, McCain!
01:23Out, McCain!
01:23Out, McCain!
01:27I'm never going to quit, Steve.
01:39I can't.
01:41What do you want people to remember about you?
01:45He served his country.
01:46Yes.
01:47Yes.
01:48Yes.
01:48And he's proud of his family and his daughter, who is many times a real pain in the ass.
02:01It's 2028.
02:08Genetic engineering has extended the human lifespan to 200 years.
02:14Would a relatively young John McCain challenge a reanimated Jimmy Carter zombie?
02:20Well, President Carter's been a great humanitarian.
02:25I've had the good fortune to spend 60 years in service to this wondrous land.
02:31It's not been perfect service, to be sure, and there were probably times when the country might have benefited a little less of my health.
02:40But I've tried to deserve the privilege as best I can, and I've been repaid a thousand times over with adventures, with good company, with the satisfaction of serving something more important than myself, of being a bit player in the extraordinary story of America.
