ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt suggested in a now-deleted interview that “behind the scenes” he is “helping” Senator Ted Cruz to “take down” Tucker Carlson and helping Ben Shapiro “take down” Nick Fuentes.

“I need people on the right to take down Tucker Carlson — so I’m trying to help Ted Cruz,” Greenblatt revealed. “I need people on the right to take down Nick Fuentes — so I’m trying to help people like Ben [Shapiro],” Greenblatt told Rabbi David Wolpe and a gathering at Sinai Temple in West Los Angeles on Saturday.

He also named Hasan Piker as one of his targets and said the ADL is doing the “same thing on the left.”

WATCH:

Greenblatt suggested similar back in November, though he didn’t say he was “helping” with any of the figures he touted to take on the “woke right” (Ben Shapiro and Randy Fine, among others):

“Republican senator/presidential candidate working with the anti-white ADL to suppress speech,” Tucker Carlson said in response to my post on X. “You can see why people begin to wonder about the system we currently have.”

UPDATE: They took the video down after clips I shared from it went viral.

Here are more remarkable clips from the interview (which it appears the public wasn’t supposed to see):

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt reveals the ADL is *still* working with the FBI.

“I have 40 analysts working full-time 7 days a week, 24 hours a day monitoring extremists,” he tells an LA synagogue. “We monitor these people, and we share the intelligence with the FBI.”

He says they’re monitoring the DSA, anti-war activists, pro-Palestine groups, “right-wing extremists,” political Islamists, Christian nationalists, and others.

“And then we train. We’re the largest trainer of law enforcement in America—extremism and hate,” Greenblatt adds. “We train 20,000 officers every year to keep our community safe.”

The Anti-Defamation League is writing Sunday school curriculum for Hispanic evangelical churches as part of a “partnership” with the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt reveals.

“We have roughly 2,000 active synagogues in America. There are 42,000 active Hispanic evangelical churches,” Greenblatt tells an LA synagogue. “Right now, the ADL is co-writing Sunday school curriculum with them. Right now, the ADL is working on joint lobby days with them.”

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt says every anti-Semitism complaint filed with the ADL is now immediately scanned by their “AI systems” to see if there’s a “litigation opportunity” they can forward to their network of some “50,000 lawyers.”

“Last year, in partnership with Gibson Dunn, we created something called the Legal Action Network,” Greenblatt tells a gathering at a synagogue in LA. “We’ve assembled 50 of the top law firms in the US to create a pro bono coterie of literally like 50,000 lawyers.”

“And so now when you enter in an incident at ADL, it instantly gets evaluated by our AI systems. Is there a litigation opportunity? And we feed it to the lawyers to evaluate and to find someone to take the case.”

Jonathan Greenblatt said during this interview that “sunlight was the best disinfectant.”
