   "The Next Revolution" host Steve Hilton issued a scathing rebuke Sunday   
   night of all the self-appointed "experts" who have misused their   
   authority to make vital decisions impacting the everyday lives of   
   Americans on everything from COVID, and crime, to the military and the   
   economy, only to be "completely devastatingly wrong."   
      
   STEVE HILTON: That’s the number one rule of government by ‘expert   
   idiot.’ No one is ever held accountable, however much they screw up.   
   Which of course we see in the absolute crowning glory of the expert   
   idiot's takeover of the coronavirus pandemic. Let's just take a moment   
   to remember the vanity, the self-importance, the sheer brazen certainty   
   of these expert idiots who turned out to be completely devastatingly   
   wrong.    
      
   Of course, it is all laughable now how wrong the experts were, how   
   wrong the vast majority of the establishment media were to trust the   
   experts. But it keeps happening. The establishment never learns. So we   
   cannot just subcontract vital decisions about our lives to the experts.   
   Wherever you look, the pandemic, crime, the military, the economy, what   
   the experts have done to this country is an absolute travesty. And even   
   if it wasn’t anti-democratic to put all this power in their hands –   
   which it is, even if it didn’t contradict the very idea of what America   
   was built on, self-government -- which it does, on a basic practical   
   level, government by experts doesn’t work because as we have seen time   
   and time again, the experts are idiots.
