he has been sort of blaming the adl.ro free speech, and against antisemitism of anytime, but yet he continues to walk a difficult line? sarah: when people hear the words antisemitism, they cringe. that's not be. when you look at the content of his tweets and the people he is responding to -- remember on twitter, who you response to affects the algorithm. the weight of his following when he replies, to say things like hmm or interesting, that can then amplify those voices. we've seen him do that a number of times. the recent post is the most explicit so far on his concern over antiwhite sentiment. it is something affecting his company. more than half of advertisers are off the platform. he's wholeheartedly blaming the adl for that. they had a patching up since then. now it sounds like he's back to criticizing them. caroline: thank you. advertising revenue under pressure at x broadly. rachel, founder of mikmak. are you hearing for many clients, that people are willing to come back to x? >> ever since musk took ownership la

organizations like the adl.'ve had the good fortune to know outstanding jewish leaders like rabbi marks and james ramsey and spend considerable time with them in chicago. if it happens, much of it happens in chicago, just happens to be the midwest where it's located, but i've also spent considerable time with palestinian leaders and palestinian groups and have been to mosques and have been to temples and have had those experiences. my question is, how do we move beyond where things seem to be coming and what are some of those concrete things that perhaps can be taught that help us move in the direction of getting where we need to go? >> well, mr. congressman, i appreciate the question. first of all, i think like you, my organization has been involved in the fight for civil rights, and that's before any of us were alive. i'm proud that any of my predecessors stood with dr. king long before it was fashionable to do so. and let's be clear, the death of any palestinian child, woman, or innocent in gaza is a tragedy

part of the critical mass is the adl stepping up to the plate.ing, amazing work. >> i focused right there on upenn, as you know it is more than that. liz: columbia, stanford, harvard, big time. thank you very much, charlie gasparino. most investors are told to think long term when it comes to investing but our "countdown closer" is has his eye on ultrashort term when it comes to an asset class. we have david kudla. ultrashort term, not ultrashort. which asset class. >> specifically talking about bonds and it has made the most sense this year. we've heard a lot of people talk about a lot of investors and analysts talking about buying duration. that worked last week as rates came down. for most the year the long bonds have been hurt. the place to be is on the shortest end of the curve, whether corporates treasurys, high yield, whatever instrument, debt instrument to be on the shortest end of the curve and just look for that yield that has been so profitable compared to intermediate, long-term bonds that suffered this year. liz: we have a whole bunc

. >> and also this huge fight with the adl. >> he smeared the adl, demonized the adl, really threatened them in a number of ways for just pointing out that hate speech has risen on the platform since taking over. finding that a lot of other groups have come to the same conclusion as well. i'm not sure why advertisers have taken this long. but finally, i think, maybe elon musk with that tweet this week, where he endorsed, he took the mask off. i think it's untenable from that relationship. >> he seemed to respond to all of this saying that he's suspending anyone from x, as it's now called, that advocates the genocide of any group. i mean, that is not addressing the post that he said that you speak the truth. basically, you know, pouring gasoline, as we're already seeing a rise in anti-semitism in the u.s. >> it's just gross. and, you know, experts have warned, of course, that these anti-semitic rise could lead to real world violence. it has in the past. and you have elon musk, the richest man in the world, endorsing it. let's not forget too that not only has he enor dorsed this theory, b

he said he was only maybe referring to the adl, but to be clear, elon musk has engaged in this sort of anti-semitic rhetoric in the past. earlier this year, he went after george soros who has been the victim of a number of anti-semitic attacks, mausly from the right. and in that case, he said that, quote, george soros wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. soros hates humanity. so this is not new from elon musk. elon musk often engages in this kind of rhetoric. frankly, as you well know, he hasn't met a conspiracy theory that he hasn't really jumped on the bandwagon with. >> that's absolutely right. he's facing the consequences of that, right? now ibm is withdrawing or suspending its advertising on x, right? >> that's right. that's a separate matter over on x where there is so much hate on the platform now that advertisers are seeing their ads running next to actual neonazi content, so there was this report out from the progressive media matters, a watchdog group, earlier today, that said all these brands have been having their ads placed ajacet to hate speech. ibm coming out

i think my job at adl is not to be a congenital critic. not to be some gullible cheerleader. to look at the facts as they happen. to assess them as they happen and call balls and strikes. and that's what we were trying to do. >> i want to lead to from your predecessor who appears to have taken a swipe at you. he tweeted this. no. a acrobatics can justify musk's frequent antisettic theme and provide a major platform for his antisemitism. it's an important point. this is not the first time. we had you on the show about a month ago about a different incident in which he had something that you called ann semitic. so what is your response to the fact go that this is a pattern? >> we've called it out again and again and again when elon has gotten it wrong and we'll give him credit when he got it right. i continue to have hope. you can't do this job of fighting hate if you don't have hope. i try to live by not of cancel culture but culture. i'll try to bring them in and help them get it right. >> do you trust that elon musk is -- this is at the heart of it. he does a couple of thing

jonathan greenblatt, the head of the adl spoke out against the commentary, responding to musk, greenblatt said, at a time when anti-semitism is exploding in america and surging around the world, it is indisputably dangerous to use one's influence to validate and promote anti-semitic theories. oliver darcy, cnn, new york. >>> joining me is ashley gold, a technology policy reporter for axios. thanks for making time. i want to ask you first what are some of these companies saying as they're explaining decisions to suspend their advertising h here? unfortunately we can't hear ashley. let's take a quick break. we'll see if we can get her back. we'll be right back. >>> welcome back. joining me is ashley gold, a technology reporter for axios. glad to have you back. we lost you a little bit before the break. we're talking about big companies that have suspended advertising on this platform known as x, used to be twitter, after elon musk has embraced this anti-semitic conspiracy theory supported by white supremacists. i wanted to ask you what these companies are now saying as they're explaining th

from october 7th until now, the adl saw a 400%, just shy of 400% increase and this isn't just in sortf statements. these are, this is harassment. this is vandalism. and this is violence. and it is absolutely because the notion of antisemitism and a lot of people say that word is too fancy. we shouldn't use it anymore. we should use the term, jew hate. has been swept under the rug in a lot of ways. when you see it on the right, it's been noticed and condemned. much more on the left, it has opi been kind of a slow burn. that's where you're seeing it explode, lparticularly on collee campuses where the notion of antizls zionism was perceived as political street. people are saying they're against zionism, what they are saying is they're against the jewish people. >> for those at home, i know we have to go here quickly, is that these hours sometimes take months and months to put together but as i understand in a weird way, did you find that this was easy to put together? did you feel that even just october 7th, you had what you needed to put together a especially devastating one as this. >>

during the same period last year the adl recorded 64 incidences in the us, only four of which are linkedier i spoke with a jewish campaigner and founder of the instagram account dues of new york, for his thoughts. we have been hearing about some of those statistics about anti—semitism, but as a jewish american living in new york city, how does it feel to you right now?— city, how does it feel to you riaht now? ., ~ . right now? thank you so much for having _ right now? thank you so much for having me _ right now? thank you so much for having me and _ right now? thank you so much for having me and for - right now? thank you so much for having me and for raising l for having me and for raising this very disturbing, disturbing fact. how does it feel? it feels awful. i get text messages from myjewish friends, managing this community, we reach millions of people and we have a lot of followers, and we literally cannot even keep up with the amount of hate, vandalism, with the amount ofjewish related anti—semitic attacks. it's heartbreaking. the dues do not feel safe, that's what's happening. fe

i think that will be bad for the adl and for him. he just taking his small victories or he can. it's essentially said, oh my goodness, that child didn't break everything today. he did something good. i think it should be an overall think. because i think you can't separate that promotion of these tweets and the amplification that he gives them, given who he is. and some good policies. that's great he's making good publicity. i guess we should say great, when he does. that at the same time, you know, it's still a problem. it's still a problem. but john's, right other parts of the ecosystem, social media ecosystem have just as many problems and don't get as much focus. but it's because elon coast attention to himself. tiktok gets much more attention, they deserve, for some of this stuff. they're the biggest. that left in the big city, as they say. >> if you can't stand the heat, as they say. >> right. >> so, kara, i want to ask you about another thing. susan surrendered, who's always a figure who invites opinions from people. her tell

netanyahu has come to his aid before when he had another issue around anti-semitism with the adl, and so this just happens over and over again. and what's fascinating is the blame he wants -- the richest man in the world wants to say advertisers are the cause of his problems. he's the cause of his problems, and the reason ads are down is because of how he behaves on the platform, not just promoting anti-semitic stuff or allowing it to run rampant, study afterdy shows this. but he sues people or he cuts them off or he calls them name, bob iger, it's his fault he is losing all this money and he is going to have to pay the price. he said that on stage. it's not a public company. it's his company. he r can afford to keep doing this. >> we got to go. great point. keying on the iger comment, which i don't think has gotten as much attention as it should. it was a one-off, what the heck? thank you so much. >> thanks a lot. >>> happening now, secretary of state antony blinken is meeting with palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas in the west bank. >>> and separated from her husband and

alone, jonathan, the adl, your organization, has now counted more than 800 anti-semitic incidents since the hamas attack. that's a 316% increase since last year. how is it that the jewish community is facing this level of danger now when it's still reeling from such a heinous terrorist attack? >> yeah, it's extraordinary. we were dealing with records of level of semitism before october the 7th. and there's been a tsunami over the last month, on our campuses alone, wolf, we've seen almost ten times increase in the last, in this period versus last year. and i'm talking about an assault at the university of massachusetts, right. i'm talking about another assault at tulane or harvard university, vandalism and harassment everywhere. our community is seeing the anti-jewish hate that we've never seen before. but we are not daunted. we are not deterred. and we are not going away. and you saw that here today. jews again from across the political spectrum came together and said, anti-zionism is anti-semitism, and we are not going to be intimidated by the tolerance of our haters. and we will conti

twitter and didn't know, he was making a broader point of the progressive liberals including those in the adlatter and anti-israel for years, saying you support those this is the end results. neil: let me ask about that. you don't want to put pressure on advertisers. charles: there's a bigger business story going on with x. they are moving away from advertising. they don't want to be beholden from the woke corporateism of disney, go down to comcast, down the line of their advertisers, they haven't pooled, they pause. the head of x, the ceo of x. neil: when you tweet are you xing? what are you doing? charles: i don't know. in any evil and she's very capable lad pairs and capable businessperson, very smart. they are looking to change the business model. we should point out, broadcasters that are controversial always sought advertising as a secondary way of making money if you want to the carriage fees. if someone says something a little but often they go nuts. that is where he is. you will see a different twitter x in the next six months in terms of a business model, the deemphasizes of this. t

it's not the fault of the adl. but you have to look at this balance that we've talked about so many times on this show, about how much of the aperture do you open to more dissenting speech, and how much do you try to make it safe and prevent misinformation or hateful speech on? he definitely not only opened it to more speech of people who are on the fringe and people who can be toxic at times, he's even sometimes engaged with them. so i think he started off saying, we should open it up to more free speech, but freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of reach. we shouldn't amplify those who are the haters. i hope, eventually, linda yaccarino, who he got to be ceo of x, and himself, that they'll go back to saying, we've got to not amplify people who are putting up really toxic and hateful things. >> yeah. walter, i know you have to go. i have so many questions. >> call me up. >> we have to have him back. >> i'll call ya up. i wanted you to compare steve jobs to elon musk, but i think in the little time we have left, i

he says the adl unjustly attacks the majority of the west despite the majority of the west supporting the jewish people and israel because they cannot, by their own tenants, criticize the minority groups that are there primary threats. it's not right and needs to stop. what do you think elon musk was trying to say in that post? kristin: elon musk has been erratic and volatile with his speech and we never actually know what he is trying to do. while he says he is promoting free speech, hateful speech and hate speech has no place on x and has no place coming from a major ceo in our nation. kristin: -- caroline: it is interesting that key founders and leaders have called on perhaps roles in other companies elon musk holds. he's not just the leader of tesla. he is the owner and cto of x the platform where he is putting out these views. one particular key founders said, it's your turn to potentially fire. the cto linda has been trying to point out that the x view has been clear discrimination from everyone should stop across the board. what would you want to see for elon musk whether he be

learning because users -- but there's an over reliance on machine learning to detect anti-semitism part adlat as well as terms of having volunteer with their online hate index. they actually have people who will flag tax is being anti-semitic or this is not. i ice not always going to get this right is so if you see something, say something. flag the content and participate in the process. >> you mentioned this earlier i will highlight it now. that on x there are atrocious and hashtags like hitler did nothing wrong. why do you think this vitriol and hatred is allowed on any social media platform? i get what you are telling me there can be a i bought forms tossing things into the mix. but this should not be allowed. >> unfortunately some people seem to be a little bit confused but with a difference of free speech and hate speech. so hate speech is not free speech. as we arty know there's a lawsuit against fur and tight semitic content posted on the platform of the german organization some of this by the way their specific laws in germany regarding this and regarding social beta platformsf wha

in this country adl reports anti-semitic incidents have risen by 400% in the two weeks following to attack own police force a 14 fold increase, and we also saw what happened in russia as the angry crowd search for jews to harm after a plane had arrived from tel aviv. how is the administration confronting the scorch -- scourge of anti-semitism? >> the president, the vice president, the secretary of state's have been absolute the unequivocal in their condemnation of this. this is something separate and apart from what is going on in e middle east. it is tied to it, but to attack jews, and i just came back from paris. in france they have seen more anti-sitic events in the past three weeks since october 7 and they saw in all of 2022. to attack jews, jewish institutions is not to take a side the middle east conflict. it is to be anti-semitic, and the administration has been unrelenting in condemning this, and i have gotten strong support for my colleagues. geoff: are the condemnations, the denouncement of anti-semitism, is that sufficient to meet the moment, or is more required? >> it is not su
