Good evening, we begin tonight, keeping him honest with what one of the most powerful

elected officials in the country said today about transparency versus what he's actually

doing about it.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is the highest ranking Republican in Congress.

He's second in line to the presidency, but became Speaker only by the Barrist margin and

only by winning the votes in the 11th hour of the most extreme members of his party.

One promise he made while campaigning to be Speaker, according to CNN's Melonies

in ONA and the New York Times was to make thousands of hours of security camera footage

from the January 6th attack public.

And today, here's House Speaker McCarthy justified his decision to release the video.

Because I think sunshine matters, so I don't care what side of the issue you are on,

that's why I think putting it out halts the American public, you can see the truth.

So what could be wrong with that?

Well, for starters, he's not actually doing what he said.

He's not putting it all out to the American public.

He's giving it to Fox host Tucker Carlson, the one who spent months downplaying the significance

of the day and hosting people peddling conspiracy theories about the day and lies about the election.

When asked about that today, Speaker suggested the objections were just sour grapes.

Did you raise that issue when CNN sat out here on the statutory hall and had that full

whole night, or were you concerned when CNN got the footage ahead of time or when CNN

got the subpoenas before the people came subpoenas?

So people get excuses.
