With three floors, an operating room, and a kitchen that can feed 100 people at once, Air Force One is the most famous plane in the world. But what's it like flying on the presidential aircraft?
Today, we're excited to share with you the latest episode of our brand new podcast, Morning Wire Presents Behind the Story. Join Daily Wire's D.C. Bureau Chief Tim Rice and his guest, White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan, as they break down Mary Margaret's recent trip with the president and what it's like to fly with the leader of the free world.
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. Here's Behind the Story. Everybody knows someone right now who's trying to lose weight. Maybe it's opening the closet and realizing there's an entire section of clothes that used to fit perfectly and just sit there untouched. That feeling is incredibly common.
It's part of why people have been talking so much about weight loss injections lately. But not everybody wants weekly injections, especially when they start hearing about some of the side effects. That's why doctors created Lean. Lean is a weight loss supplement from Brickhouse Nutrition designed specifically for frustrated dieters with 10 pounds or more to lose.
The studied ingredients in Lean have been shown to help lower blood sugar, curb appetite and cravings, and help burn fat by converting it into energy. And what makes it relatable is that the goal isn't perfection. It's just getting back to feeling comfortable again. More energy, more confidence, feeling better walking into a room and getting dressed in the morning.
People around The Daily Wire have talked about how motivating it feels when small things start changing again in a positive way. even just looking in the mirror and recognizing yourself a little bit more. Here's even better news. They're having a huge Memorial Day sale and Lean is 25% off. Visit TakeLean.com and enter ThankYou25 for 25% off. That's promo code ThankYou25 at TakeLean.com.

Chapter 2: What makes Air Force One the most famous plane in the world?
There's a reason so many Americans feel called to stand up for children right now. Because in a culture that moves incredibly fast, kids deserve protection, guidance, and the chance to grow up without being pushed toward irreversible decisions before they're ready to fully understand the consequences. That's why organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom are stepping in.
ADF is working to encourage major corporations to reconsider policies that provide coverage for so-called gender transition procedures for minors through employee health care plans. This conversation is bigger than politics. is about whether our culture is willing to slow down, protect childhood, and support families navigating difficult decisions with care and wisdom.
And the reality is public pressure matters. When everyday Americans speak up together, companies listen. That's why Alliance Defending Freedom is inviting people across the country to make their voices heard by signing their petition to corporate America. If you believe children deserve compassion, protection, and thoughtful care, this is an opportunity to take action.
Visit joinadf.com slash wire to sign the petition today. Again, that's joinadf.com slash wire. It's the most famous plane in the world. The Boeing 747, marked by the seal of the President of the United States, known far and wide as Air Force One, has everything the leader of the free world could need at 40,000 feet.
The 4,000 square foot aircraft has three floors, a conference room, and a fully operational medical suite that can serve as an operating room that always has a doctor on hand. The plane is capable of refueling in midair and is designed to withstand a nuclear explosion.
Air Force One has space for around 100 passengers and crew and a world-class kitchen that is ready to feed those 100 people at the drop of a hat. President John F. Kennedy was the first commander-in-chief to have a specially designed presidential jet, one where Lyndon Johnson would famously take the oath of office after Kennedy was killed.
Air Force One has been in the news recently thanks to President Donald Trump's calls for new planes to enter the presidential fleet and his controversial acceptance of a new jet from the Qatari royal family. That jet is set to be delivered to the 89th Airlift Wing, also known as the Presidential Airlift Group, this summer.
If you're not a member of the president's family or cabinet, the best way to hitch a ride on Air Force One is to join the White House press corps. Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan has flown with the president numerous times, including just this week. She joins us today to discuss that trip and to give us a peek behind the curtain of the world's most famous plane.
I'm Daily Wire Washington Bureau Chief Tim Rice, and this is Behind the Story. Mary Margaret, thank you so much for joining me.

Chapter 3: What is it like to fly with the president on Air Force One?
But he loves it. He works with all of us. He answers all the questions. On Wednesday, when I was with him, he gaggled with the reporters. Gaggled is what we call it when you when you the president. comes up to a group of reporters and actually talks to us. So he gaggled with us under the wing before he got on the plane and he was ending the gaggle. And I kind of yelled to him.
He said, all right, thank you. And he started to walk away. And I said, James Comey, Mr. President, because I knew that would make him turn around. And he did. And he came back and I was able to ask him my question about former FBI director James Comey. So it's a it's a very chaotic and fun experience and also pretty bougie.
Yeah, right. James Comey, the former FBI director, of course, is being investigated for making threats or alleged threats against the president or seeming to make threats against the president and has certainly been a thorn in this president's side throughout his two terms in office. So definitely a good question to ask. This is, you know, you have probably one of the coolest jobs in Washington.
Chapter 4: What happens during the motorcade to Air Force One?
And this is something you and I have talked about before, where, you know, it's kind of odd that you get used to certain things, right? Like for a reporter going into the White House briefing room for the first time is like, you know, it's just like going through the golden gates, right? It's like, you've made it. But then eventually, you know, you do it 10, 15, 20 times.
And, you know, it's it's still amazing if you stop and think about it. But in the moment, right, it's it's you're kind of just in a room. Do you find yourself at this point having, you know, more than five, less than 10 trips on Air Force One? Is it are you are you just sort of like used to it? Is there part of you that's like, oh, this is the thing that I do now?
Or is it is it just kind of like a shocking experience every time?
I would say I'm not used to it yet. And I think the plus to having gone on Air Force One a number of times now is that it's not as intimidating, though I'm not used to it. So I can focus more on my questions. I can focus more on getting the president's attention and less on just kind of being astounded by the circumstances I'm finding myself in. And I would say I enjoy it more now, too.
I know what I'm expecting. I can focus on my work and also enjoy the experience. But I hope I never get used to it because it's very surreal.
Yeah. And you've never traveled internationally with the president, right? Because I imagine that's probably a sort of beast of a different nature, you know, kind of in its own right, like a long like the press pool that was with him on his trip to China. You know, that's a very I imagine those are probably sort of different than the domestic flights.
So no, I haven't traveled with the president internationally yet. That is quite expensive and quite a feat to do. But what I have heard from reporters who do travel with the president internationally, and actually Secretary Rubio has joked about this too, is that the president doesn't sleep on these international flights. So he is up and at it most of the time.
And there have been occasions where he's come back and startled the press and gaggled with them when they were not fully awake. So And that's a little bit daunting prospect to imagine.
But I think Secretary Rubio has talked about how when he's on an international flight with the president, there was one occasion where he just went and lay on a couch and went to sleep and put a shirt over his head so that the president wouldn't see him when he walked by. Because what I'm hearing is that the president will just wake people up and I need my beauty sleep.
