Escalates, let's be honest. Coffee isn't just a drink. It's survival. It's how I shift from half asleep zombie to fully functioning human being. And for me, that starts with Trade. Listen, you all know I take my coffee very seriously. Trade is the number one US coffee destination, working with over 50 of the best roasters around the country to deliver insanely fresh coffee matched to your taste. Their team has tried thousands of roasts to narrow it down to over 450 incredible options. And somehow the first quiz I took nailed my preferences perfectly. I am loving the latest roast. I received a citrusy Ethiopian roast from Temple Coffee in Sacramento. It has notes of tangerine, mango and stone fruit and a smooth, rich Colombian blend from Good Citizen Roasters in Nashville. Every bag arrives fresh, smells amazing and the quality just blows grocery store coffee out of the water. And the best part? Part? I never run out. I spend less than I did at cafes for better coffee and I'm supporting local roasters. Total win.

Drink Trade.com Midas Go back to February 14, 2025. Remember when Hannity interviewed Trump and Musk, who were sitting together during the bromance period where Donald Trump said, elon called me and said, they're trying to drive us apart. They're trying to drive us apart. We would never let that happen. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (9:18)

They tried it, then they stopped. That wasn't. They have many different things of hatred. And actually Elon called me, he said, you know, they're trying to drive us apart. I said, absolutely. No. They said, we have breaking news. Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at 8 o' clock. And I say it's just so obvious. They're so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They're actually bad at it because if they were good at it, I'd never be president. Because I think nobody in history has ever gotten more bad publicity than me. I could do the greatest things. I get 98% bad publicity. I could do outside of you and a few of your very good friends. It's like the craziest thing. But you know what I have learned, Elon? The people are smart. They get it.

Chuck (10:08)

Yeah, they do.

Donald Trump (10:08)

They get it. They really see what's happening.

Chuck (10:11)

Yes.

Elon Musk (10:12)

Now, as we previously reported, Elon Musk stopped following Donald Trump's top advisor, Stephen Miller. Elon Musk previously hired Stephen Miller's wife to work with Musk. No word on if Miller's wife is still going to be working with Musk. But Miller's wife left working with Miller and Trump to work with Musk. Many rumors were taking place online about that. That move. Elon Musk also unfollowed the ultra maga right wing influencer guy, Charlie Kirk. That was a something that went down as well. Elon Musk responded to Donald Trump's statement in the Oval Office during that disastrous press conference with Friedrich Mars, the Chancellor of Germany. Where Trump goes, I'm very disappointed with Elon. I've helped him a lot. He knew the inner workings of the bill better than anybody. I'll play that clip in just a moment. But Elon responds, false. This bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it. Here's what Trump said in the Oval Office. Play the clip.

Donald Trump (11:27)

But if they picked him, I would have won Pennsylvania. I won it by a lot. But I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here, better than you people. He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem. And he only developed the problem when he found out that we're going to have to cut the EV mandate because that's billions and billions of dollars and it really is unfair. We want to have cars of all types. Electric, we want to have electric, but we want to have a gasoline combustion. We want to have different. We want to have hybrids. We want to have all. We want to be able to sell everything. And when that was cut and Congress wanted to cut it, he became a little bit different. And I can understand that. But he knew every aspect of this bill. He knew it better than almost anybody. And he never had a problem until right after he left. And if you saw the statements he made about me, which I'm sure you can get very easily, it's very fresh on tape. He said the most beautiful things about me. And he hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next. But I'm. I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot.

Elon Musk (12:38)

I just want to clarify, did he.

Unknown (12:40)

Raise any of these concerns with you.

Elon Musk (12:41)

Privately before he raised them publicly? And this is to which Elon Musk responded. Whatever. Keep the EV solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil and gas subsidies are touched. Very unfair. But ditch the mountain of disgusting pork in the bill. In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation the that is both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this. Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim, beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way. Remember when Donald Trump was asked, this was less than a week ago, were you aware of Elon Musk using drugs like ketamine and mushrooms during his time at Doge? Trump said, no. He's fantastic. I'm not troubled by anything that he does. Play this clip.

Donald Trump (13:33)

I like this man.

Elon Musk (13:34)

Were you aware of Elon Musk's regular drug use?

Donald Trump (13:38)

No, I wasn't. I think he's fantastic. I think Elon is a fantastic guy. And I'm not troubled by anything with Elon. I think he's fantastic, did a great job, and you know, Doge continues and by the time it's finished, we'll have numbers that'll knock your socks off. It's going to be, he did a fantastic job and he didn't need it. He didn't need to do it you.

Elon Musk (14:03)

Will also recall during the last cabinet meeting or maybe the cabinet meeting before the last cabinet meeting. Despicable one that is. Elon Musk was wearing a double hat. He was wearing two Trump hats on top of each other during the cabinet meeting at the White House. And Trump said how much he loves the double hat. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (14:27)

Good job, Kelly. Thank you very much, Elon. I love the double hat by the way. He's the only one that can do that, get away with it. Well, Mr. President, you know, they say I wear a lot of hats.

Elon Musk (14:40)

That's true.

Donald Trump (14:41)

Even my hat has a hat.

Elon Musk (14:45)

And now this was from earlier today when Donald Trump cited as a reason why Elon Musk must support the budget bill and everything Donald Trump does. Trump says Elon Musk wore the hat. Once you wear the hat, there's no going back. You understand? You wear the hat, you can't disagree with Trump hat. That's it. Here's what Trump says.

Donald Trump (15:07)

Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we're well anymore. I was surprised because you were here. Everybody in this room practically was here as we had a wonderful send off. He said wonderful things about, about me. You couldn't have nicer. Said the best thing he's worn the hat. Trump was right about everything and I am right about the great big beautiful bill. We call it a great big beautiful bill because that's what it is. And again, biggest tax cuts in history, biggest economic development moves anywhere. We've never done anything like it. Business is spurred and I don't know if you've seen the numbers, but, but the numbers.

Elon Musk (15:46)
