Video Description

MSNBC's Ali Velshi analyzes the increasingly volatile tactics of the Trump administration - indicting his perceived enemies, sending National Guard troops into U.S. cities, Trump officials clashing in hearings with Democratic lawmakers, and more - while reminding of something written by tyranny expert Timothy Snyder: "When we obey in advance, we invite the weak man to take power over our souls, which then means power over our politics." Our next MSNBC Live event is on October 11th in New York City!
