adl is the oldest anti hate group in the world.we've seen in the past year is unlike anything we've tracked before. indeed, we saw at least 30 different hate groups spreading thousands of messages -- i'm talking about off-line activities, pamphleting, leafletting, fliers, banners, flash mobs, you name it. this happened all over the country in 49 states. the only one exempt was hawaii. we have indeed seen not only this surge over the past year, but it fits into this bigger pattern which gets to your question. these white supremacists, they don't just feel, if you will, emboldened in this environment. i will say they feel energized. you had elected officials at the highest level repeating their rhetoric, right? spreading around their scapegoats and stereotypes. it was unmistakable. there's never been a moment before in our nation's history where you had the president of the united states, when given the opportunity, told the white supremacists to, quote, stand back and stand by in a presidential debate. you had other aides orbiting a

to ban violent rhetoric and harassment they have every right to do so and the analogy i made in the adld starts threatening customers and saying he wants to kill jews, the restaurant owner has every legal right and actually a moral obligation to kick that nazi out and so do the internet companies. the idea they are the defenders of free speech is ludicrous. they make editorial decisions. they did allow nazis >> sasha baron cohen on the sway podcast. new york sometimes columnist kara swisher does join us this morning. he obviously has read the bill of rights and has turned out to be a powerful voice on this front. >> yeah, i wanted to interview him for a long time t. turns out he won yesterday at the golden globes we'll see what happens in the oscars and everything else i wanted to talk to him for a long time. i was struck -- he has so many carrickers whether it's borat, his voice himself was incredibly powerful he did this at the adl, anti-defamation league, and i was struck by the whole thing. i wanted to talk to him. a lot of what he does as an entertainer is sort of show how people r

person, even the president speaking out on this, is not going to solve the problem, as the head of the adlit has to be a holistic societywide effort, and that includes, you know, members of congress. it includes some of the tech platforms, trying to figure out ways to stop the dissemination of hate. but even then, you're looking at a process that's going to be slow and very arduous to figure out. >> yeah, the chairman of the adl made that point about tech companies yesterday. i think it was a very smart and important point. i mean, sam, more broadly, too, the politics of fighting domestic violent extremism -- we've also been covering that comment ron johnson made where he suggested he would have been more afraid if there were black lives matter protesters in the capitol than the people that actually did bust down the doors, show up and chant "hang mike pence" in the hallways. but the investigation into that has exposed the fact that this has become so incredibly political, they can't even agree on the scope of the investigation into the breaching of their own building. and i think that rai

the adl is the oldest anti hate organization in the world. officials at the highest level demonizing their opponents, denigrating minority groups and the explosion of hate we've seen that's targeted jewish people, the latinx community and as we've seen in recent months the a api community. all this is lashed up. what our report reveals is white supremacist propaganda efforts nearly doubled year over year. we lad an average of 14 incidents a day in every state in america other than hawaii. and this is terrifying because what we've seen these groups do is use the language that the president pioneered like america first or reclaim america or this false patriotism to push prejudice, to denigrate immigrants, african-americans, jews and other minorities. we need to recognize that that kind of language has a real cost. so when senator johnson makes the inexplicable comment, truly, that he was not concerned about what happened on january 6th, mika, those weren't protesters. they were militants. it wasn't a riot. it was an attack. those individuals wh

the adl atted the fwesture to symbols used by extremists. some of the people in this live stream identify themselves as members of the proud boys and by the way nearly 20 of the charged defenders are members of that far right group. more than a dozen others are oath keepers. a pro-trump far right anti-government group that sees itself as a militia group defending the constitution. and also seen a national social club sticker linked to neo-nazi groups that see themselves as soldiers as war with a jewish controlled system plotting the extinction of the white race. and a rioter who breached the capitol, crow may remember him wore a camp auschwitz shirt with a slogan from the gates of the concentration camp where more than 1 million jews were murdered. and for the record the fbi says there is no evidence that antifa or any leftist group was ever there. senator ron johnson is not oblivious to this imagery that was displayed in the capitol insurrection and after all this these are the people that ron johnson says loves this country. the these are

, honestly, this is a crazy conversation you know, we have been fighting for the first amendment at adlfight for it erociously, but freedom of speech, kevin, is not the freedom to slander and freedom to express your opinion is not the freedom to incite violence but for facebook it is, that needs to change. that's all it's simple. there's nothing wrong with keeping all of us safe from violent white supremacists or hateful people you know, last week we're still recovering and mourning those who were lost in atlanta we released our annual survey of online hate and harassment we saw a huge spike, 50% of harassment directed at asian-americans in the past year despite all of the promises of the companies and scrutiny we have got to do better not only for asian-americans but for all-americans who shouldn't be subjected to hate and harassment simply because they are on facebook. >> i hope you're not suggesting facebook or any social media platform is responsible for deranged madmen. that's just not the fact this has been a problem long before social media. it's very unfortunate and we constantl
