Glenn Beck: Experts Shouldn’t Run Our Lives, People Should

EXCERPT:

BECK: “Something else is wrong. And I don’t understand why we have to listen to these experts, who are anything but experts. These experts are the same experts that told us that there was a great conspiracy going on with Donald Trump and Russia. Wrong. All these experts told us that the crash in the financial market would never happen. Wrong. The experts told us there would never be a caliphate. Wrong. Why are we listening to these experts? Thomas Jefferson said at one point, 'Trust the American people. They may get it right — they may get it wrong from time to time, but eventually, they will figure it out. I would rather be judged by a group of farmers than all of these elites in the academic institutions.' That is Jefferson, and he’s right. The experts don’t run our lives. They don’t run our country, although they are seemingly starting to run everything in our life and in our country. People are supposed to be running it. And when you make a good case, then we will follow. Make the case.”
