Summary

According to Jonathan Greenblatt, National Director and CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, this is a particular fraught moment in the long history of the politics of race and history in America and around the world. We talk to Greenblatt in a special, thought-provoking, wide-ranging interview that touches upon the President's attacks on the members of "The Squad," the perversity of turning accusations of anti-semitism into a racist cudgel, the institutionalization of hate in America and the global rise of ethnographies-nationalism. It is one of the most disturbing trends of our era and you should not miss this essential discussion of why we are here and where we are headed.

0:56.0	with my old friend Jonathan Greenblood, who is the National Director and CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.
1:04.0	I've known Jonathan since the Clinton administration
1:08.0	but clearly the work that the ADL has been doing has been in the news a lot.
1:15.0	And you know that's sometimes an unfortunate thing because if the ADL is in the news a lot
1:22.0	it means that there have been outbursts of racism, anti-Semitism,
1:28.4	other kinds of social tension and certainly the last two weeks have seen a lot of that. I was hoping we could we could

2:05.0	I think the short answer is yes.
