Chicago mayor: 'It's incumbent to...push back fiercely against this tyrant' - Velshi - MSNBC

Trump has deployed the National Guard, but a federal judge has temporarily blocked the deployment.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson tells Ali Velshi that Trump has “declared war on the city” and that it’s incumbent on everyone “to push back fiercely against this tyrant.” - Aired on 10/11/2025.
