On the Jesse Watters's yakfest, guests make an art form of not knowing what they're talking about.  (From the New York Times)

“Well, House Speaker Mike Johnson crashed Hamas’s spring break at Columbia today.” 
That quip came from the Fox News host Jesse Watters, who was interviewing Mr. Johnson on his prime-time show Wednesday. 
In response to a standoff between student protesters and the university’s president, Mr. Johnson had visited Columbia University’s campus, where students had set up encampments in solidarity with Palestinians. He was booed during a brief news conference on the steps of a school library. 
“So many of them, Jesse, don’t know what the heck they’re talking about,” Mr. Johnson said.
