RUSH TRANSCRIPT All right ░░░░░░░░ s go straight back ░░░░░░░░ that story in Colorado ░░░░░░░░ we ve been telling ░░░░░░░░ about Eight people hurt ░░░░░░░░ a fire attack at ░░░░░░░░ walk to call attention ░░░░░░░░ hostages in Gaza So ░░░░░░░░ s bring in Jonathan ░░░░░░░░ He is the CEO ░░░░░░░░ the anti defamation league ░░░░░░░░ he joins me now ░░░░░░░░ talk about this Jonathan ░░░░░░░░ s good to see ░░░░░░░░ Although under these circumstances ░░░░░░░░ when you appear on ░░░░░░░░ screen when you and ░░░░░░░░ are talking oftentimes it ░░░░░░░░ around tragedies like this ░░░░░░░░ you know this incident ░░░░░░░░ that horrific double murder ░░░░░░░░ a young couple in ░░░░░░░░ D C just last ░░░░░░░░ So what are your ░░░░░░░░ concerns in the wake ░░░░░░░░ these violent attacks Well ░░░░░░░░ you for having me ░░░░░░░░ vlad And again my ░░░░░░░░ concern is for the ░░░░░░░░ victims of this firebombing ░░░░░░░░ understand these people are ░░░░░░░░ their mid 50s to ░░░░░░░░ late 80s one of ░░░░░░░░ is a Holocaust survivor ░░░░░░░░ god willing they will ░░░░░░░░ recuperate and be okay ░░░░░░░░ two of them I ░░░░░░░░ told are in critical ░░░░░░░░ But my real concern ░░░░░░░░ is when we pull ░░░░░░░░ the lens we see ░░░░░░░░ pattern You alluded to ░░░░░░░░ attack a week and ░░░░░░░░ half ago on these ░░░░░░░░ young couple these two ░░░░░░░░ who were shot and ░░░░░░░░ in the back as ░░░░░░░░ walked out of the ░░░░░░░░ Jewish museum six weeks ░░░░░░░░ governor Shapiro s home ░░░░░░░░ harrisburg Pennsylvania was firebombed ░░░░░░░░ an attacker In all ░░░░░░░░ of these incidents the ░░░░░░░░ said they were wanting ░░░░░░░░ quote free Palestine or ░░░░░░░░ Gaza The attacker yesterday ░░░░░░░░ Colorado the FBI reported ░░░░░░░░ say free Palestine he ░░░░░░░░ I want to end ░░░░░░░░ zionists He accused these ░░░░░░░░ people of being baby ░░░░░░░░ So I think we ░░░░░░░░ seeing an environment of ░░░░░░░░ of like ugly anti ░░░░░░░░ rhetoric like baseless anti ░░░░░░░░ conspiracy theories And it ░░░░░░░░ the conditions vlad in ░░░░░░░░ Jewish people don t ░░░░░░░░ feel vulnerable as we ░░░░░░░░ they are vulnerable likely ░░░░░░░░ be harassed or assaulted ░░░░░░░░ even killed simply for ░░░░░░░░ they are So as ░░░░░░░░ know has been recent ░░░░░░░░ revealing the frequency of ░░░░░░░░ Semitic incidents over the ░░░░░░░░ few years The FBI ░░░░░░░░ testimony after testimony before ░░░░░░░░ houses of Congress indicate ░░░░░░░░ anti Semitism is one ░░░░░░░░ the the issues that ░░░░░░░░ have spent not just ░░░░░░░░ recent years but decades ░░░░░░░░ to combat is it ░░░░░░░░ so do you feel ░░░░░░░░ their efforts have been ░░░░░░░░ naught because we continue ░░░░░░░░ see these incidents almost ░░░░░░░░ a regular basis now ░░░░░░░░ meanwhile the FBI is ░░░░░░░░ focused on internal politics ░░░░░░░░ politics As the president ░░░░░░░░ the United States seeks ░░░░░░░░ against his perceived enemies ░░░░░░░░ not on these threats ░░░░░░░░ are hurting everyday Americans ░░░░░░░░ look I can t ░░░░░░░░ broadly to all things ░░░░░░░░ FBI is doing and ░░░░░░░░ the comment you made ░░░░░░░░ the internal politics there ░░░░░░░░ will say that the ░░░░░░░░ has had a long ░░░░░░░░ with the FBI Lots ░░░░░░░░ directors They ve always ░░░░░░░░ very good at these ░░░░░░░░ Kash Patel called this ░░░░░░░░ domestic terror attack Last ░░░░░░░░ They referred to it ░░░░░░░░ a hate crime which ░░░░░░░░ clearly was And as ░░░░░░░░ have up on the ░░░░░░░░ this surge of anti ░░░░░░░░ hate crimes is astonishing ░░░░░░░░ mean up nearly 400 ░░░░░░░░ the last five years ░░░░░░░░ more than 900 in ░░░░░░░░ last decade Last year ░░░░░░░░ the highest count we ░░░░░░░░ ever seen We ve ░░░░░░░░ tracking this stuff for ░░░░░░░░ half a century I ░░░░░░░░ say something else In ░░░░░░░░ environment where you have ░░░░░░░░ speakers spreading blood libels ░░░░░░░░ an environment where you ░░░░░░░░ social media influencers making ░░░░░░░░ claims people like Hasan ░░░░░░░░ over on twitch or ░░░░░░░░ s there s others ░░░░░░░░ TikTok and Instagram saying ░░░░░░░░ baseless things about Jews ░░░░░░░░ zionists Israelis Vlad I ░░░░░░░░ that this could even ░░░░░░░░ worse So I think ░░░░░░░░ really need tech platforms ░░░░░░░░ step up and stop ░░░░░░░░ know lifting up these ░░░░░░░░ voices We need elected ░░░░░░░░ to speak out We ░░░░░░░░ people from all walks ░░░░░░░░ life to stand with ░░░░░░░░ Jewish friends and neighbors ░░░░░░░░ maybe show up for ░░░░░░░░ own walk next weekend ░░░░░░░░ say we won t ░░░░░░░░ intimidated by bigots Such ░░░░░░░░ interesting point that you ░░░░░░░░ Jonathan when you talk ░░░░░░░░ the the rise of ░░░░░░░░ and antisemitism and just ░░░░░░░░ racism that we now ░░░░░░░░ on social media platforms ░░░░░░░░ under the guise of ░░░░░░░░ speech and not censoring ░░░░░░░░ Do you believe that ░░░░░░░░ because I look at ░░░░░░░░ media now and many ░░░░░░░░ these platforms I mean ░░░░░░░░ the dominant characteristic that ░░░░░░░░ see is what you ░░░░░░░░ describing anti Semitism racism ░░░░░░░░ and the spread of ░░░░░░░░ So so how to ░░░░░░░░ that What is the ░░░░░░░░ doing I mean are ░░░░░░░░ having conversations with these ░░░░░░░░ leaders of these companies ░░░░░░░░ at least try to ░░░░░░░░ that nefarious content from ░░░░░░░░ platforms Yeah vlad we ░░░░░░░░ talked about this before ░░░░░░░░ the years I think ░░░░░░░░ media is a super ░░░░░░░░ as you said of ░░░░░░░░ Semitism and racism and ░░░░░░░░ kinds of hate Unfortunately ░░░░░░░░ like x and Meta ░░░░░░░░ retreated from content moderation ░░░░░░░░ recent months introducing these ░░░░░░░░ notes which is by ░░░░░░░░ means a panacea I ░░░░░░░░ vlad it s a ░░░░░░░░ crazy that the most ░░░░░░░░ profitable companies on the ░░░░░░░░ Earth are outsourcing content ░░░░░░░░ to the users So ░░░░░░░░ we are seeing a ░░░░░░░░ you know just explosion ░░░░░░░░ hate We are not ░░░░░░░░ talking to the companies ░░░░░░░░ we re talking to ░░░░░░░░ regulators I mean I ░░░░░░░░ it is time for ░░░░░░░░ to step up here ░░░░░░░░ companies are you know ░░░░░░░░ say too big to ░░░░░░░░ These companies are too ░░░░░░░░ to just leave alone ░░░░░░░░ mean they re almost ░░░░░░░░ And again they allow ░░░░░░░░ this unmitigated rise of ░░░░░░░░ kind of hate that ░░░░░░░░ in real life just ░░░░░░░░ you re seeing on ░░░░░░░░ screen So yeah it ░░░░░░░░ time for these companies ░░░░░░░░ demonstrate the same kind ░░░░░░░░ accountability that we see ░░░░░░░░ other media businesses and ░░░░░░░░ you know knock the ░░░░░░░░ knock the anti Semitic ░░░░░░░░ zionists off the platform ░░░░░░░░ and for all Excellent ░░░░░░░░ Jonathan really quickly before ░░░░░░░░ go as the ADL ░░░░░░░░ have you reached out ░░░░░░░░ the victims families in ░░░░░░░░ boulder Oh yeah Like ░░░░░░░░ re on the scene ░░░░░░░░ was texting with governor ░░░░░░░░ last night with the ░░░░░░░░ general Weezer I mean ░░░░░░░░ as well my staff ░░░░░░░░ the ground in boulder ░░░░░░░░ engaged with the community ░░░░░░░░ now as we speak ░░░░░░░░ our hearts go out ░░░░░░░░ them that everyone there ░░░░░░░░ be able to recuperate ░░░░░░░░ their wounds and whatnot ░░░░░░░░ be able to March ░░░░░░░░ weekend in peace as ░░░░░░░░ ve done now for ░░░░░░░░ some odd days Jonathan ░░░░░░░░ thank you very much ░░░░░░░░ always. Appreciate you.
