We mentioned on this program earlier this week Maxwell Frost, member of Congress, Florida, sucker punched, it sounds like, at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend. What more do we know about that? He says he was punched in the face. There's an investigation underway. Charges pending. But this also is a microcosm of a broader issue here, where the US Capitol Police say, in so many words, our politics are at a point now where these threats are spiraling, that there's a devolution happening in American politics, and it's crystallizing itself in threats and, in some cases, actual assaults. And, Scott, actual money has been appropriated so members of Congress can make independent judgments about the security around them. Is that true? It's true, but if you were to ask a US senator right now or a US congressman right now, they may say that that money is only enough for a little bit of extra help. There's no way for the Capitol Police to provide 365 day a year, 24/7 details to any member of Congress. But having a few dollars provided to get some private security helps only around the edges.
