President Trump attacked the news media, denounced critics of his response to violence in Charlottesville and again hinted he might pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio during a speech Tuesday night at a campaign-style rally in Phoenix.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Trump’s speech made him question Trump’s fitness for office. Here & Now‘s Robin Young gets a debrief on the rally from KJZZ’s Jimmy Jenkins (@newsjunkyjimmy).
