On Monday, guest-hosting for Rush on America's Number One radio show, Mark interviewed House Majority Whip Steve Scalise. Congressman Scalise previewed the forthcoming midterm elections, but he also spoke movingly about last year's attempted slaughter of the Republican baseball team, and contrasted the behavior of the police on that occasion with that of the Broward County deputies at the Parkland school shooting. He also talked with Mark about his robust support for the Second Amendment and about being visited in hospital by the President and First Lady (see right).

A homeowner in the UK heard someone breaking in their back door. He called the police and they said they were sorry but couldn't respond for an hour.
Ten minutes later the home owner called the police again and told them that they had shot the intruder and he was on the floor in the kitchen.
About three minutes later several police cars pulled up to the house, sirens blaring.
The police ran into the house and found the intruder hog tied on the kitchen floor. One policeman exclaimed "I thought you reported that you had shot the intruder." The homeowner replied "I thought you said you couldn't get here for an hour."
