the phoenix police department is hoping that 107-degree heat is the only heat anyone will feel tonight. we will keep you posted. bret: thank you. we ll have a one hour wrap up of the president s speech tonight and the rest of the day s news at 11:00 p.m. eastern time, special edition of special report. join us. there are, as you heard from jonathan, increased concerns about the level of violence in recent political protests. tonight chief washington correspondent james rosen looks of the rise of one particular movement and what it means for free speech and safe speech. it s become a symbol. one white nationalist richard spencer, credited with coining the term alt-right was sucker punched by an antifascists activist on inauguration day, a writer at the nation magazine. six months later, activists known by the name antifa have
groups who aim not merely to counter the alt-right but deny its members the rights of free speech and assembly. we are seeing white nationalists the much more prominent in their public demonstrations. it s spilled over the lives across the ideological spectrum. the original antifascist protesters confronted the third reich in germany as well as fascist governments in italy and spain. the tactics are little bit different but they are rooted in that idea of coming up to near violent or very aggressive right wing groups and confronting them in the streets. there are no hard figures, really can be no hard figures as dominic it will count themselves members of antifa. using twitter, facebook, selected phone numbers, we tried to contact a handful of individuals believed to be linked to the movement but our queries were not returned. bret: thank you. the president gets ready for
