3:37 am
destination for political candidates. >> the real one? >> reporter: many of whom find themselves in scenes with the very actors who have been making fun of them on the show. >> i think snl plays a unique role in the way that people perceive candidates. >> reporter: but trump will be hosting the entire 90-minute show. >> it's exceedingly common for candidates to appear on the show. but hosting is an all-together different matter. it's a big boost for a candidate to have that platform. >> reporter: a boost that has many detractors upset. >> i don't see nbc reversing this decision. they see it as a ratings gold mine and they see themselves as a political humor place. and this is a perfect opportunity for political humor. >> reporter: trump's appearance could trigger the s.e.c.'s equal time rules. those rules which do not apply to news programs give equal

3:44 am
>> all you have to do is look around here at the museum and there are boeing planes all over the place. and the story of this company is, in many ways, the story of america and what american ingenuity can accomplish. in a world where flying is routine, but gravity is a law of nature, it's still mind blowing. 500,000 pounds rising into the sky, miles above the earth, soaring at 35,000 feet. and this factory outside statle is where it comes together. ever walk in here and go wow? >> literally every day. >> reporter: these are among the biggest airplanes in the world, built here by bowing in one of the world's biggest buildings, overseen by vice president elizabeth lund. >> if you took the empire state building and laid on its side, you could put 12 of them inside
