President-elect Trump's granddaughter Kai gives rare, behind-the-scenes look inside Trump Force One Donald's granddaughter posted a YouTube video from inside Trump's plane CLICK HERE: Sign up for DailyMail.com's daily U.S. politics newsletter By JON MICHAEL RAASCH, U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:11, 27 November 2024 | Updated: 22:27, 27 November 2024 e-mail View comments Rich wood paneling, couches with plush silk pillows, flat-screen TVs and a Terminator-style bobblehead of grandpa on the dashboard - Donald Trump 's rising-star granddaughter, Kai, is giving the world an eye-opening glimpse of how the president-elect gets around in style. The eldest daughter of the former president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr ., 17-year-old Kai Trump recently joined her father and grandpa on a recent trip to Brownsville, Texas , to watch 'Uncle Elon' Musk's recent SpaceX rocket launch. But along the way, the teen documented the high-flying day trip to south Texas in an 11-minute YouTube video this week, pulling back the curtains on some of the most intriguing previously unseen details of her grandfather's famous 'Trump Force One.' The president-elect purchased the Boeing 757 for $100 million in 2011, though it is decades older than that. 'This is the plane,' Kai says, holding the camera selfie-style. 'Let me give you a tour.' In the 11-minute video, avid golfer Kai chats it up and dances - including to her grandpa's fave 'YMCA' - with her pal Emma as the pair show off the 43-seater. Trump had the jet upgraded with 24-carat, gold-plated seat belts, a 2013 documentary revealed, describing it as having 'enough gold that if melted down it could gold-plate the outside of a Greyhound bus'. And the gold trimmings can be seen everywhere as Kai and her pal roam around the plane. President-elect Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump (L), and her friend Emma (R), wear matching outfits for a YouTube video giving a behind-the-scenes look at the Republican's plane 'Trump Force One' while documenting their trip visit 'Uncle' Elon Musk's SpaceX launch last week in south Texas Kai goes to grab a plate full of fresh fruit during the video The two can be seen practicing their dance moves and playing games ahead of their arrival to Brownsville, Texas Initially the friends are shown in a lounge area having some laughs, dancing and talking. Eventually Kai gets hungry and she disappears before coming back with a plate of fresh fruit including melon and cantaloupe. In the next shot the camera is angled down as the pair walks down some presumably sensitive areas before revealing one of the wood-paneled hallways with golden carpets. Then they come on a door open to a nearby bedroom, presumably that of the president-elect. The presidential suite features what appears to be a king-size bed covered in beige linens with matching pillows featuring the Trump family crest. The corner of a leather seat can also be seen in the quick peak. The first tour shot shows a long wood-lined hallway with golden carpet and an exit door Panning up the camera reveals a bedroom, presumably Donald Trump's, with a plush looking bed with beige bedding and a pillow emblazoned with the Trump family crest Read More Donald Trump attends SpaceX Launch in south Texas alongside Elon Musk The dazzling jumbo jet is compartmentalized into various sections for guests, aides and the president-elect himself. Immediately after the clip revealing the bedroom the video cuts to a shot walking down another area where some business-suited Trump confidantes - who's faces are not shown - are sitting toward the front of the plane. 'Hey guys!' Kai cheerfully greets them. Steps later, the interior of the front of the plane is revealed, showing the plane's front exit door where a doormat also emblazoned with the Trump family seal lays. Then the camera pans up showing that the cockpit is open allowing Kai and friend to waltz on in. In the following shots Kai is seen sitting directly behind the pilots flying Trump Force One. A bobblehead depicting the president-elect in a Terminator-style outfit: black glasses, a black leather jacket, black military-styled pants and black boots, can be seen jiggling on the plane's dashboard. Kai also buckles up in the cockpit to watch the pilots land Trump Force One in Texas The Trumpinator bobblehead showing the president-elect wearing an outfit inspired by the movie 'The Terminator' can be seen on the cockpit dashboard The 'Trumpinator' figurine depicts Trump holding a rifle with red robotic eyes like the Arnold Schwarzenegger character from the 1984 sci-fi flick. As the plane descends, the camera films the final moments before landing. 'This is pretty cool stuff,' Kai says to the camera as the pilots focus on safely getting back on the ground. 'It's not everyday you get to see a plane landed.' Automated flight sensors can be heard warning the pilots as the plane safely descends. '500 ... 100 ... 50 ... 40 ... 30 ... 20 ... 10,' the voice says as the captains bring Trump Force One back to Earth. Then the camera crew and Kai drive off to watch the SpaceX launch with Musk and grandpa Trump. Kai's father, Trump Jr., also accompanied the group on the trip and was captured various times throughout the YouTube video.

The billionaire businessman , basketball owner, and Shark Tank empresario lit up WIRED’s The Big Interview event on Tuesday, dropping hot takes about Elon Musk , the pharmaceutical industry, and why he thinks “couch fucking” and Gary Gensler’s crypto policy cost Kamala Harris the election. Chatting with WIRED senior writer Lauren Goode, Cuban touted the trajectory of Cost Plus Drugs, the pharmaceutical company he cofounded in 2022. By offering transparency on costs and pricing policies, Cuban says his company has been able to disrupt the drug industry, offering consumers drugs like Droxidopa for something like $20 per month versus the more than $3,000-a-month uninsured patients were being quoted. The Big Interview For the first time, WIRED’s iconic series came to life on stage with a series of unforgettable, in-depth live conversations. Check out more highlights here . “We’ve lowered the price of [one of our 2,500 medications] every single weekday for 18 months,” Cuban boasted, saying the company has also found great success in publishing its entire price list, something that’s always been incredibly hard to obtain from other drug providers for consumers and researchers alike. Now, Cuban says, studies have come out showing that if Medicare bought, for instance, nine specific drugs from Cost Plus Drugs instead of their other sources, the government would save billions of dollars, something that not only shows the bloat of the healthcare system but also the tangible effect that one well-funded company can have. It’s not that Cuban’s not making money on Cost Plus Drugs, either, because he is. He could be making more , he told Goode, but as he put it, “How much fucking money do I need? I’m not trying to land on Mars.” The crack, presumably directed at Elon Musk, was just one of several remarks Cuban made about the billionaire X owner. For one, he spoke about his own move from X to Bluesky in recent months, saying that he thinks it’s an overall “existential moment” for Musk’s platform. Because of Bluesky’s troll-blocking capabilities and what Cuban calls more engagement-friendly policies, he says he’s found it much easier to engage there, whether it’s Kamala Harris, cryptocurrency or the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, in which he owns a minority stake. “If you want to know what Elon thinks, Twitter’s amazing,” Cuban joked, but added that he thinks Bluesky is more of a true “social network” in comparison. Digging deeper into crypto, Cuban said that he thinks Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler’s villainization of the currency really hurt Harris’ chances during the US election. After polling the audience to see how many people owned crypto and sharing that he owns “a lot ” of bitcoin himself, Cuban said that because something like 40 percent of young men have owned or do own crypto, either because it’s the cool thing to do or because they don’t trust or understand the stock market or traditional banking system, “Gary Gensler telling you to ‘roll over and let me stick a bike handle up your ass’ ... did not make it good for people who own crypto and didn’t make it good for Kamala.” Cuban said he told both Harris and her team as much, ultimately asserting that with more young men coming out to the polls for the election than were previously expected, “I don’t think it’s a stretch to connect” the candidate’s loss to what he sees as her team’s antiquated crypto policy. He said he offered the Harris campaign thoughts on how to win over social media as well, though they didn’t take them. For anyone, candidate or not, to control the narrative on any given day, he said they need to “flood the zone,” putting memes, quips, and clickable videos out into the ether to be passed around online and covered in the news. (MAGA architect Steve Bannon has also used "flood the zone" to describe his strategies.) “It’s not like it was facts that made the difference in this election,” Cuban said, making a joke about Donald Trump’s assertion that Haitian immigrants are eating dogs in Ohio. The democrats, he said, “needed more couch-fucking stuff . Sixteen million couch-fucking extensions and everyone would have seen it. “ Weird . Brat . Fucking the couch. They started out flooding the zone,” Cuban said, “but then they dropped it and tried to use accuracy. Donald Trump floods the zone continuously [and that’s why he won.”
The Memphis Grizzlies are learning the benefits of giving this season. When Memphis hosts the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, the Grizzlies will be seeking their sixth consecutive win and their 10th in their past 13 games. Their November success has been the result of an unselfish, team-oriented approach. The Grizzlies enter Saturday leading the NBA with 30.4 assists per game. Memphis dished out 36 assists on 47 made baskets in Friday's 120-109 home victory over New Orleans. "The ball movement (was) great," Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. "I think we had nine or 10 guys with two or more assists -- or 10 out of 11 guys (with) an assist, which is great." Ja Morant, who missed Wednesday's home win against Detroit due to a bruised knee, led the Grizzlies with seven assists against New Orleans, and Marcus Smart had six off the bench. Despite being limited to 10 games this season, Morant leads the team with 9.1 assists per game, followed by Scotty Pippen Jr. (5.7) and Smart (4.1). "When the ball's moving, it's about getting everyone involved," Pippen said. "It makes it a lot of fun to play with everyone. So, I feel like that's (when we are) the most dangerous, when everyone's touching the ball and everyone feels aggressive." Friday's win marked Memphis' first NBA Cup victory in the second year of the event. The Grizzlies had lost their first seven games of NBA Cup group play. As for Indiana, the Pacers were eliminated from contention for the NBA Cup knockout round with their 130-106 home loss Friday to Detroit. Indiana is 0-3 in Cup play. The Pacers had won three straight games -- all at home -- before being overpowered by the Pistons. Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton led Indiana with 21 and 19 points, respectively. While the Pacers have struggled during the first two months of the season, Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said several of his younger players have shown signs of contributing at a significant level, including second-year forward Jarace Walker. Walker, 21, finished with 10 points and notched five of the team's nine steals off the bench on Friday. Additionally, third-year guard Bennedict Mathurin, 22, has excelled in a starting role and is averaging 17.7 points per game, while Quenton Jackson, 26, has averaged 10.3 points in his past three games. "(Walker) went in there (Friday against Detroit) and decisively stepped into shot and he was physical," Carlisle said. "Right now is a time for guys like Jarace and Q (Jackson) and Ben (Mathurin) to experience what it's like to have this kind of responsibility and respond as best they can." Mathurin is second on the team in scoring behind Siakam (19.9 points per game), while Haliburton's 16.6 scoring average ranks third. Sunday's game is the first of two regular-season meetings between the teams. Indiana and Memphis split last season's two meetings, with each squad winning at home. --Field Level MediaThe Transportation Security Administration has some reminders for those heading to airports during the holidays. “People seem to forget some of the more common and routine steps that they need to take when packing for a flight or when they are going through a checkpoint, perhaps because they’re focused on being at their destination and not focusing on what needs to happen before getting there,” said TSA officer Christopher Kirchein of John F. Kennedy International Airport. “Travelers sometimes ignore the advice that we give them,” said TeaNeisha Barker, a TSA uniformed adviser. “We are providing guidance so that they get through the checkpoint as simply and conveniently as possible. Not every airport has the same technology, so listen to the guidance we are offering.” “Passengers forget that knives and other weapons are not allowed through our checkpoints. It’s shocking to see so many people with knives,” said TSA officer Aisha Hicks of Philadelphia International Airport. “Weapons of any kind are prohibited through a TSA checkpoint.” TSA officers shared this list of the common things that travelers forget and should remember when coming to a security checkpoint. Ten things that travelers need to remember when preparing to go through the security screening process: • Remember that you cannot bring bottles of water, energy drinks, juice, coffee, soda or any filled insulated reusable container through a security checkpoint. However, they can finish their beverage and bring the empty bottle or container with them. • Remember to bring your ID to the checkpoint. • Remember when TSA officers remind you to remove everything from your pockets that it does not only mean metallic items such as keys and mobile phones, but it means everything, including non-metallic items such as tissues, lip balm, breath mints, etc. • Remember that you cannot bring a firearm through a checkpoint. Instead, pack your unloaded firearm in a locked hard-sided case and declare it at your airline check-in counter and the airline will ensure it is transported in the belly of the plane where nobody has access to it. • Remember that you need to remove your shoes when getting screened and then end up barefoot on the floor. It’s probably a good idea to wear socks. • Remember that children 12 and under are allowed to travel through a TSA PreCheck screening lane with a parent who has TSA PreCheck on their boarding pass. In addition, don’t forget that children up to the age of 18 can also come into the TSA PreCheck lane with their parent if they are on the same airline reservation as their parent. • Remember that passengers that appear 12 and under or 75 and older do not need to remove their shoes and light jacket. • Remember, if you are putting a lock on your luggage, make sure it is a TSA compatible lock so that if TSA officers need to open your luggage, they can unlock it and relock it. If the lock is not TSA compliant, TSA officers who need to open your luggage will cut off the lock, rendering it useless. • Remember that you can bring medications through a security checkpoint, even liquid medication. Just let the TSA officer know that you have liquid medication with you so it can be screened separately. • Remember to get a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license sooner rather than later because REAL ID goes into effect on May 7.UHC School of Diagnostic Medical Sonography hosts commencement
Mount Sinai Hospital to Host Sixth International Prostate Cancer Symposium and World Congress of Urologic OncologyUS coach Emma Hayes admits to anthem uncertainty ahead of England stalemateCamping World Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CWH) Shares Sold by MetLife Investment Management LLCOWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Fresh off one of its best showings of the season, the Baltimore defense now has another problem to worry about. Roquan Smith missed practice again Friday because of a hamstring injury. Although the Ravens didn't officially rule him or anyone else out — they don't play until Monday night — the All-Pro linebacker's status seems dicey. “Definitely it will be a challenge if Roquan can’t go,” defensive coordinator Zach Orr said. “We’re holding out hope and everything like that. I think it’ll just be by committee. Not one person is going to replace Roquan. Roquan’s an every-down linebacker.” Although the Ravens lost 18-16 last weekend, Baltimore didn't allow a touchdown. That was an encouraging sign for a team that ranks 26th in the league in total defense. Baltimore is on the road Monday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Ravens appear to have dodged one potential nightmare. Star safety Kyle Hamilton injured an ankle against Cincinnati on Nov. 7, but he was able to play almost every defensive snap the following week against Pittsburgh. But Smith was injured in that game and didn't practice Thursday or Friday. Linebacker Malik Harrison had a season high in tackles last weekend and figures to have a significant role if Smith can't go. “We tell these guys, ‘You’re one play away to going in there — you never know, so you got to stay ready.’ Malik — he was ready,” Orr said. “I thought he went in there and did a good job, especially after the first series, he settled down. That’s what we expect from him.” It's hard to tell whether last week can be a significant turning point for Baltimore's defense. The Ravens allowed only 10 points in a dominant win over Buffalo in Week 4, then yielded 38 against Cincinnati the following game. After allowing 10 against Denver, the Ravens were picked apart by the Bengals again a few days later. So they still haven't shown they can play a good game defensively and then build on it. “I think it’s easier said than done. It’s something that we kind of got caught up saying against Buffalo and then coming up the next week and not doing," Hamilton said. "We’re aware of it now and know that we played a good game, but I think we can get a lot better, and I think that’s kind of the mindset everybody on defense has right now.” Hamilton's ability to make a difference all over the field is part of what makes him valuable, but positioning him deep is one way the Ravens can try to guard against big passing plays. Pittsburgh's Russell Wilson threw for only 205 yards against Baltimore. That's after Joe Burrow passed for 428 and four touchdowns in the Ravens' previous game. “I’ve always seen myself as a safety. A versatile one, but at the end of the day, I think I play safety,” Hamilton said. “If I’m asked to go play safety, I feel like that’s not an issue for me to play safety if I’m a safety.” NOTES: In addition to Smith, WR Rashod Bateman (knee), DT Travis Jones (ankle), S Sanoussi Kane (ankle) C Tyler Linderbaum (back) and CB Arthur Maulet (calf) missed practice Friday. WR Nelson Agholor (illness) returned to full participation after missing Thursday's practice. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — J.K. Dobbins will miss at least the next four games after the Los Angeles Chargers placed the running back on injured reserve Saturday. The team also placed safety Alohi Gilman on injured reserve and signed safety Tony Jefferson to the active roster. Dobbins sprained the MCL in his left knee late in the first half of the Chargers’ 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday. Dobbins is fourth in the AFC in rushing with 766 yards and averages 4.8 yards per carry, third highest among AFC running backs with at least 100 carries. He has been considered among the candidates for AP Comeback Player of the Year after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in last season’s opener. Gus Edwards will be counted on to be the lead back in Dobbins' absence. Edwards missed four games during the middle of the season because of an ankle injury and has 25 carries for 93 yards in three games since returning to the lineup. The Chargers are 7-4 and hold the sixth seed in the AFC going into Sunday's game at NFC South leader Atlanta (6-5). Los Angeles is at Kansas City (10-1) in a prime-time game on Dec. 8, hosts Tampa Bay (5-6) on Dec. 15 and Denver (7-5) on Dec. 19. Gilman suffered a hamstring injury in the loss to the Ravens. He has 47 tackles, which is fifth on the team, along with one sack. Los Angeles also elevated cornerback Dicaprio Bootle and linebacker Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste from the practice squad for Sunday’s game. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl The Associated Press
