   Jesse Watters said Tuesday that it's difficult to trust experts when they   
   continuously get it wrong, highlighting inflation, coronavirus lockdowns and   
   climate change warnings.    
      
   JESSE WATTERS: Experts are supposed to have all the answers. But what   
   we're finding out today is that experts have a lot to say, but most of   
   it is wrong. Let's look at inflation. The experts said this was a   
   transitory phase. … Inflation has skyrocketed to a 40-year high. How   
   could the experts not see this coming? They pumped out trillions in   
   COVID relief — the largest flood of federal money in world history. Not   
   to mention the Fauci lockdowns wrecked supply chains. Experts told us   
   it was a good idea because lockdowns save lives. … Because of the   
   experts, we locked down. People lost their jobs, their small   
   businesses, kids suffered and inflation built up, all for nothing. A   
   Johns Hopkins study found lockdowns had little to no effect on COVID   
   deaths. Where could the experts have gotten this stupid lockdown idea   
   from? China, of course. … What a good idea. Let's take lockdown advice   
   from the people who unleashed the virus on us and then lied about it.   
      
   Nowhere, though, have experts been more wrong than on climate change.   
   Since the 1970s, experts have been telling us we're just a couple of   
   years away from extinction. In 1967, experts predicted a dire famine   
   was coming in 1975 and it was too late to avoid it. I wasn't even born   
   yet, but I think I would have read about the famine of '75. In 1971,   
   experts told The Washington Post that a new Ice Age would be here in   
   the next 50 years. Well, it's 51 years later and 65 degrees here in New   
   York. In 1989, experts at the U.N. warned that rising seas would   
   obliterate nations if global warming wasn't reversed by the year 2000,   
   and in 2004, the experts at the Pentagon told Bush that climate change   
   will destroy us, it's a bigger threat than terrorism and that Britain   
   would feel like Siberia by 2020. All wrong.

   Was Fauci one of these experts?  I guess you can find experts on any   
   topic, but which ones can you believe, when they all say their decisions   
   are based on scientific facts?
