JD Vance’s Fishing Fiasco, Pub Mutiny & Trump wants Pocahontas drug tested

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and U.S. Vice President JD Vance got busted for fishing without licenses, sparking fines and a very “chummy” press conference. Vance’s trip got worse: he was rejected by a Michelin-rated pub, faced a protest called “Dance Against Vance,” and ended up retreating to Trump’s Turnberry golf course. Meanwhile, Trump celebrated Social Security’s 90th anniversary by calling Elizabeth Warren a “nutjob” who needs a drug test, while bragging about kicking 275,000 “illegal aliens” off Social Security.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark media from Washington, DC, where we didn't forget
about the Epstein files. This is valid distraction distractions, but
none of that is working on me. Let's hit this.
I'm Patrick Guttfield and British Foreign Secretary David Lammy took
US Vice President JD. Vance fishing last week at his

(00:25):
countryside retreat. One small problem, neither of them had fishing licenses.
Now Lammy is facing a potential twenty five hundred dollars
fine for this diplomatic oversight. Let me get this straight.
You're the Foreign Secretary of Britain, You're hosting the American
Vice president, and nobody thought to check if you need
a fishing license. But here's my favorite part. After they

(00:45):
got caught fishing illegally, they held what the press called
a chummy press conference. Chummy, that's the most British way
to describe two politicians trying to laugh off breaking the
law together. Oh, yes, we committed a minor crime, but
were rather chummy about it, and Vance, not missing a beat,
told reporters on Unfortunately, the one strain on the special

(01:08):
relationship is that all of my kids caught fish, but
the Foreign Secretary did not. So not only did Lammy
break fishing law, he was also terrible at fishing. The
fish were returned to the lake unharmed, which means this
whole international incident was basically catch and release diplomacy, kind
of like our judicial system when it comes to certain felons.

(01:30):
Vance tried to get dinner at a fancy British pub
called The Bull in Charlebury, but the staff staged a
mutiny and refused to serve him. The workers literally told
management they wouldn't show up to work if the restaurant
accepted his booking. Now here's the kicker. This same pub
had just hosted Kamala Harris weeks earlier for a pre
wedding dinner celebrating Steve Jobs's daughter's marriage to a British

(01:52):
Olympic equestrian. So Harris gets the royal treatment, but Vance
gets the staff rebellion. That's got a sting a little.
The Bull has a Michelin bib Gormont, which is basically
a fancy way of saying really good food that won't
completely bankrupt you. Though with stakes going for ninety eight dollars,
moderate prices apparently means something different in the Cotswolds than

(02:15):
it does everywhere else. The locals in Charbury were so
thrilled about Vance's visit that they organized something called Dance
Against Vance, a protest featuring placcards calling him a war
criminal and memes showing him with baby cheeks. Nothing says
welcome to the neighborhood like a dance party dedicated to
how much they don't want you there. The deputy mayor

(02:37):
of nearby Chipping Norton complained that Vance's presence was a
curtailment of our freedoms because of all the Secret Service restrictions.
Apparently having the American Vice president vacation in your quaint
English village comes with some downsides, like not being able
to walk wherever you want and having agents knock on
your door asking about your Facebook profile. After getting rejected

(02:58):
by the pub staff, pro tested by dancers, and generally
making the locals miserable, Vance decided to pack up and
head to Scotland. Where did he go? Donald Trump's golf
course at Turnberry. Naturally, when one Trump property doesn't work out,
there's always another Trump property waiting. So to recap Vance

(03:19):
came to England illegally fished with the Foreign secretary, got
turned away by mutinous pub workers, faced a dance protest,
annoyed an entire village, and ended up at a Trump
golf course in Scotland. That's either the worst diplomatic vacation
ever or exactly what you'd expect from this administration. President

(03:42):
Trump celebrated the ninetieth anniversary of the Social Security Act
at the White House by calling Senator Elizabeth Warren a
nutjob who needs to take a drug test. Trump was
responding to Warren's claims that he's trying to cut Social Security,
which he denied while simultaneously calling her Pocahontas and a
mean person. Then he really went off the rails, saying

(04:03):
Warren was all hopped up while endorsing a Democratic Socialist
candidate in New York City. She was all excited and
jumping up and down. Trump said, There's no way somebody
can act that way and be normal. So let me
understand this. Trump thinks Elizabeth Warren needs a drug test
because she was enthusiastic about a political candidate. Has he

(04:24):
seen his own rallies? The man does two hour speeches
where he talks about sharks, batteries, and Hannibal lecter if
enthusiasm at political events his grounds for drug testing. We're
going to need a lot more testing facilities. Trump also
announced that his administration has kicked two hundred and seventy
five thousand illegal aliens off Social Security. He said, many

(04:45):
of them have already left the country, and yet we
were sending them checks all the time. So we were
apparently mailing Social Security checks to people who weren't even
in the country anymore. That's not a social Security problem,
that's a postal service miracle. Also, we didn't forget about
the Epstein files, you cowered. Portions of today's show were
