newly appointed proprieor of that material as the new speaker of the house. that s despite the fact that he pointedly refused a lawful congressional subpoena from the 1/6 select committee last year. now in defending his decision to share 41,000 hours of previously unreleased footage exclusively with far-right insurrection-friendly personality tucker carlson, mccarthy is showing americans he either does not understand or does not care about the potential risk that decision presents. speaking with the washington post, mccarthy suggests this, that the public fury over the selective release isn t really about egregious security concerns. in fact, it s about jealous, he insisted on the part of the media at the heart of the outrage. hang on. it gets better. today politico is first to report that house republicans, many of whom have framed the 1/6 insurrection as the defendants in those criminal cases as victims of a political attack are now moving to provide those defendants acce
thank you so much for letting us into your homes during these truly extraordinary times. we are grateful the beat with ari melber starts right now. welcome to the beat. we begin with what many are saying is the revelation of something we knew but continue to see in more depth, a kind of staggering weakness of speaker mccarthy. as you see him giving out rewards to the very people who broke with him and tortured him before finally relenting this that historically chaotic beginning to the new congress. there s also some santos news so first the full picture today of what mccarthy has given away to the rebels who according to many republicans and this is again mccarthy s allies, they say those folks were politically extorting him. the lesson that mccarthy may be teaching which is why it matters in the news tonight and in the future is that his weakness can be exploited on any number of issues so this caucus which held the speaker bid hostage is getting assignments this he m
neverending tide of gun violence. the annual convention of the nra kicked off today in houston. the keynote speaker is the arguably the most president voice of the republican party, the twice-impeached ex-president. greg abbot pulled out of an in-person appearance to return to uvalde. he ll be holding a press conference there in a few minutes, but back at the nra stage there will also be a speech from senator ted cruz who recently stormed off when he was asked by a reporter why mass shootings only seemed to happen in this country. cruz s decision to appear at the nra convention just days after 19 of his youngest constituents and two other teachers were murdered, chose how the hard line stance on guns has become so deeply embedded in the gop. even as the nra is weaker than ever consumed by scandals and lawsuits. as the washington post quotes, nearly a decade ago the massacre of 20 children and six adults through the politics of gun violence into a state of suspension for a f
