| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Andrew Egger with the bulwark. President Donald Trump yesterday had a round table discussion with some |
| 0:05.9 | independent journalists, some content creators, some right wing on the ground guys who hold a GoPro at protests and riots, |
| 0:13.3 | to talk about the scourge in our nation of Antifa, which the White House recently labeled a domestic terrorist organization and which they |
| 0:22.8 | are attempting to squash and stamp out with the might of the state. It was a weird event, surreal in a |
| 0:29.5 | lot of ways. Here to talk about it with me today is our right-wing media whisperer, our false flag |
| 0:35.1 | newsletter author. Will Summer. Will, how you doing today? Hey, I'm happy to be here. Let's talk about this. I mean, like, there's so many different things you can say about this event, so many different things you can say about Antifa, so many different ways you can kind of plug this into, you know, the broader sort of, sort of military crackdown of, of this White House on sort of broadly lefty foes. But I think we have to start with the cast of |

| 1:17.6 | creators on sort of a sliding scale up to people who are actually journalists. |
| 1:21.6 | So can you just talk about sort of the people who they had convened to impanel this panel |
| 1:26.3 | yesterday? |
| 1:27.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:27.4 | So, I mean, the White House here is clearly looking for some kind of pretext to |
| 1:30.6 | increase federal crackdowns in cities, increase ice raids, send more troops into cities like |
| 1:35.9 | Portland and Chicago. |
| 1:37.4 | And so part of that is bringing in these people who, they run a bit of a spectrum, but, I mean, |
| 1:42.6 | you might call them right-wing fame balls, |
| 1:44.7 | right-wing influencers or personalities. |
| 1:47.3 | You know, the White House called them independent journalists. |
| 1:49.3 | And I will say, you know, I try to, you know, have a pretty wide tent in terms of what comes to journalism. |
