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

I am Mary Catherine Ham, your host.

I am here with my co-host, Vic Mattis of the Washington Free Beacon.

We are your morning show for any hour. We got,

there's some debate news. There's some news about bad policy out of California, as there always is.

And before we get to all that, oh, some primary updates. But before we get to all that,

let me just check in with Vic. How's it going?

Hello, Mary, Catherine. As you may be noticing, and if you're watching on YouTube, for the first time I think on this show, I'm wearing a necktie.

Oh, look at you.

In fact, because tonight, so this will already have happened for our listeners, I am going to a reception at the British ambassadors.

Oh, look at you.

And it is sponsored or held by the Keepers of the Quake, USA Chapter.

The Keepers of the Quake are the, they represent the Scottish, the Scotch whiskey industry.

Oh, it all clicks.

Well, hold on now.

Hold on now.

So there's a reception tonight at the British Ambassador's residence.

And it's to support

entrepreneurial scholarships, a Scotland Scholarships Program. And that's why I'm going. Now, they just

might, they just happened to feature rare scotch whiskeys. Right, right. But the scholarships

are what matters, much like the White House Correspondents dinner. Oh, right. You're there.

We're there for the scholarships.
