Washington Journal Tom Nichols Discusses | Video | C-SPAN.org Tom Nichols is a rightward leaning libertarian republican, and he says it's in our best interest to trust experts. In this segment, he gets called on this idea that experts are trustworthy from numerous callers. given that the politics forum here is full of folks who detest experts and disbelieve their expert opinions, I thought this would be a good segment for everyone to watch. And there are very few times when I agree with a rightward leaning libertarian Republican, but this is Trump's America and anything goes.
