1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Dan Mitchenson US correspondence with US. Hello Dan, Hello Heather, 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: long time, no chet. Should we start with Ozzie Osborne? 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: Did you ever see him in concert? 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 2: Oh? Gosh, yeah, I don't know. No, No, Ozzie was 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: a little a little hard was there not just a. 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: Straight usual no answer. 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 2: We're trying to remember, Okay, No, No, I have never 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: seen him perform. It doesn't mean that I wasn't intrigued 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: by him. I mean, and and I'll tell you why. 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: I think because he was so real. And that's what 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 2: everybody I've been talking to here in the States have 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: said about this. I mean, he was very open about 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: his drug issues and his family issues, and you know, 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: the ups and downs with his relationship with his wife 15 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 2: Sharon in later years. And we like that kind of stuff. 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: We like that transparency here in the US too, And 17 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 2: like most of the musicians have been saying here in 18 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: the US, if it wasn't for you know, Osborne, we 19 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: probably never would have been introduced to have you met, 20 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 2: or at least it would have become I guess, so 21 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: widespread to the masses over here. 22 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was certainly, I mean, and he's been credited 23 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: with kind of making it mainstream. 24 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he has. And if you'll listen to some 25 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: of the musicians and the fans over here that talk 26 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: about him and why they loved him, a lot said 27 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: it was because he made it kind of more available 28 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 2: to the everyman. And you know, it was his unique 29 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: voice and he kind of had this specific vibe I 30 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: think about the music, and he had chrisma and let's 31 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: face it, he had a cool factor going for him too. 32 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: And I think he enjoyed the theater right that he 33 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: brought to the music and we saw him enjoying it, 34 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: so he enjoyed it on stage, so we enjoyed it 35 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: in the crowd. Yeah. 36 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: Well, I mean when you think about it, every single 37 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: mega star out there, apart from Edge here and actually 38 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: does have a lot of theater around them. Right, So 39 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: it goes to the territory. Yes, Now, okay, is subpoena serious 40 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: about wanting to subpoena Gilain Maxwell? 41 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so. I mean, this is the GOP 42 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: House Oversight Committee and they want a subpoena her. And 43 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: she of course was or is a British socialite who 44 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: was found guilty as serving you know, a twenty year 45 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: sentence for convicted of sex trafficking and conspiracy. So the 46 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: idea is to subpoena her to see what kind of 47 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: information she may have. And the House Speaker, Mike Johnson 48 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: made this announcement, said he was going to shut down 49 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: operations in the chamber. He was going to let everybody 50 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: go on recess though early before there's summer recess, to 51 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: try and stop this from happening. But you know, there's 52 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 2: a lot of other Republican you know, conservative hardliners I 53 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: guess that are saying, well, wait a minute. You know, 54 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 2: this is about thirteen and fourteen and fifteen year old 55 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: girls being abuse, So this is this is beyond politics. 56 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: And you know, nearly eighty percent of the American public 57 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 2: say they want some sort of transparency on this. So 58 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: I don't think this is going to This is not 59 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: going to go away. 60 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: Has this started to hurt Trump's approval ratings? 61 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 2: Not yet. This is something that the Trump wanted to 62 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 2: kind of get out of the news cycle about a 63 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: week ago, and then all of a sudden, when he 64 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: saw that the tide was kind of turning and Republicans, 65 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: not just Democrats, but Republicans were starting to say, well, 66 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: wait a minute, we need to know a little bit 67 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: more about this. We need a little bit more transparency. 68 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 2: He was the one that said, well, okay, I'm going 69 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: to have you know, my people be as transparent. He 70 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: didn't say he was, but he had his people be 71 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: as transparent as they possibly could in getting all these 72 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: files and information out. 73 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: Okay. Interesting. So Putin doesn't want to deal with Trump, 74 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: does he? 75 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: No? And you know, I was thinking about this earlier, Heather. 76 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: You know, we go back to the relationship and we've 77 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: talked about this before that Trump had with Elon Musk 78 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: and we said this wasn't going to last. And I 79 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: don't think anybody could have seriously thought the same thing 80 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 2: with with Vladimir Putin was going to go his way. 81 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: I mean, Russia is souring on the relationship they've got 82 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: with Trump. He's given them this time to wrap up 83 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: the war with the Ukraine or threatening sanctions, and he's 84 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: announced a deal to armed Ukraine, and Putin is always 85 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: going to prioritize war. And I think he's pretty confident 86 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: Russia has sort of got the upper hand on this, 87 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: and he's gone out of his way, you know, for months, 88 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: to flatter Trump, but he hasn't commented on the threats, 89 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: and I think Trump is really getting frustrated and aggravated 90 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: that he's reached out to putin you know, four or five, 91 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: six times with phone calls and nothing's happened, and he's 92 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: not getting any kind of response, and he's not used 93 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: to that. 94 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: Well, I should have expected it. Everybody warned him. Hey, 95 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: thank you very much, Dan appreciated. It's Dan Mitchinson, now 96 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: US correspondent.
