Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Buck, let's talk a little bit about this Ukraine, United States rupture to the extent we call it a rupture in a pursuit of a ceasefire.

And there's a bunch of interesting dynamics on this and what has been happening and where we are exactly as it pertains to this decision making.

And that's a lot of words to say this.

Trump has ratcheted up the pressure on Zelensky on a level that never existed during the Biden administration,

saying, we're not going to give you an unlimited check.

We need now to find a way to peace.

And Elon Musk was asked about this.

I'm going to play a really good description, I believe, of Marco Rubio, who we had on last week, Secretary of State,

laying out exactly why the United States is upset with what Zelensky has been doing in public

and where this all comes from. But in particular, Elon yesterday was speaking and said, people say I'm a bought

asset of Putin. He couldn't afford me, which is quite the flex. Listen to cut six.

People are like sometimes like to end this war. like yeah uh you know i i'm i'm a i'm a

i'm a board asset of putin yeah i'm like he can't afford me yeah i think i think you're worth

more than russian think about it true by the way.

And that's why it's funny, because it is true.

That is an incredible flex to be able to put that out there.

And so in a minute here, Buck, Marco Rubio set down and laid out what's going on.

And in essence, it is that Zelensky has been saying publicly different things than what he's

been saying privately. Yes. And if you are involved in a negotiation on any subject out there,

and someone says something different face to face with you than they say then publicly,

you can understand where the anger would come from from Trump.
