Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Getting Hammered.

I am your host, Mary Catherine Ham, here in the United States of America.

I'm here with my co-host, Vic Mattis, of the Washington

Free Beacon. We got a lot going on. We got a SCOTUS argument we want to talk about. We have some

really good now it can be told from the New York Times, a bloodbath kerfuffle. And before we get to any

of that, however, possibly a Kate update if we have time.

Before we get to that, how's it going, Vic?

You mean my wife?

Oh, no.

Hello.

Is your wife missing?

A Kate update, I think she's still with me.

Hello, Mary Catherine, and welcome back.

Thank you very much.

I just want to say apologies to our listeners.

I'm a little bit stuffed up.

It is now officially the allergy season.

It is.

The cherry blossoms in town are in full bloom, and it's everywhere in the air.

They're also a little early, so they may have taken you by surprise.

I actually think I saved myself by being out of town last week.

You escaped all the other.
