Matt Mackowiak's Mack On Politics

He survived an assassination attempt. In episode 111, we spoke to House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), who on June 14, 2017 was the target of an assassination attempt while practicing for the congressional baseball game. We discuss his new bestselling book, “Back in the Game: One Gunman, Countless Heroes, and the Fight for My Life”. In this conversation, we discuss why he wrote the book, what actually happened, the heroes that helped save his life, how it felt, whether he faced doubts at the time, the importance of gratitude, and whether he believes he survived for a bigger purpose. Finally, we talked about the new Congress.
