thank you for spending part of your tuesday with us. the beat with ari melber starts right now. ali, always like to see you? how you doing? saw you in person last week even better. our thanks to alley velshi, our colleague here. welcome to the beat. i m ari melber. great to be back with you. tonight we re tracking new report on what former vice president pence told jack smith about trump s coup plot, and later how right of had wing nationalists are winning in south america to parts of europe, where some find that surprising. this new election sending shock wave about so-called maga populism and trump s abroad. everyone later a fun item of interest to what the i ll have this for and explain why we think it s a good thing by the end of the hour. all that coming up. our top story are the signs of kremtle progress in the middle east conference. today marking a sixth day of cease-fire or pause. hamas released two more hostages, including two thai hostages, all part
both sides about gagging donald trump. now, jack smith did win the first round in the d.c. coup case, but that gag order has not been am place. indeed, it was held for this review today. the special counsel s team says donald trump has clearly shown in his violent rhetoric and his calls for violence and his calls for other things that sounds like witness intimidation means he has to be gagged. trump s lawyers say the gag order, first of all, is overly broad. second of all, they think the whole thing in its entirety is basically a violation of the first amendment, first speech rights afforded to everyone, including especially a presidential candidate engaged in free speech, which can include legitimate criticism of the current administration, which oversees the justi department. now, special counsel jack smith was in court today. despite the judge s pushing back at prosecutors at times, we could tell you one headline from the new york times is this, they write that based on
