Summary

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman must deal with incompetency on a level never before seen as the National Security Advisor inadvertently added Editor In Chief of The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg to a top secret, high level chat about their Mardis Gras plans- I mean, the strategic war plans to attack the Houthis in the Middle East. Donald Trump is so concerned that he wasn't even briefed, as he was too busy complaining about a portrait of himself in Colorado and demanding an apology from the Governor of Maine. They finish on Columbia University utter capitulation to Trump to get their $400 million federal pittance back. Support the show and gain access to the Weekender episodes on Friday by going to our Patreon and becoming a patron.

0:57.3	blockbuster report from a journalist Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic who revealed today on
