Well, folks, the attempts to take down Donald Trump are very, very real, and they are having

0:04.3

significant consequences for the body politic.

0:06.5

They're coming from nearly every major institution in the United States, from our universities

0:10.6

to the media, from academia to the judiciary, as we'll talk about, it's happening everywhere.

0:16.3

And the real question is why?

0:18.0

Is this really about Donald Trump as a person?

0:20.5

1:11.6

And what this list does is it demonstrates who they think was the best and who they think

1:15.8

was the worst. Obviously, they have Trump in the last place. Of course, of course. And you would

1:20.0

assume that they would. But that doesn't really answer the question as to whether they just

1:24.1

hate Trump or whether there is something broader going on to truly understand

1:27.7

how much the elite institutions hate Trump and really hate the right wing. You have to understand
