[Bit 1]

Man, it is a scary time to fly.

You know how I know it's bad?

I'm also nervous at the airport.

I am on your side.

The energy to me on an airplane

has shifted dramatically in the last two months.

'Cause when I used to walk on a plane,

people looked at me like, "What's he up to?

What's he planning?"

But now when I walk on a plane, people look at me like,

"Well, if this thing goes down

and we need someone to take over,

he might have the right training."

[Bit 2]

It's a scary time to fly.

A military helicopter crashed into a passenger plane.

When that happened, I was like, "Oh, things are different."

'Cause when I was younger, when the American government

wanted to ram an aircraft into something, they outsourced it.

-The jobs are coming back, baby.
