Captions: Hi, this is H. Jon Benjamin. I’m here to talk to you about a big problem on the internet. It’s called people emailing my wife. No! It’s called PragerU. Imagine a huge stream of lies that pours into every computer in America. Imagine it’s disguised to look unbiased and packaged into slick videos. And imagine oil billionaires give them tens of millions each year to indoctrinate your friends, your family. Well, that’s PragerU. And the thing is - it works. One out of every three Americans online has seen one of their videos and 70 percent say that Prager’s videos changed their minds. This stuff makes a difference. And every day, it is pulling people toward the right. At The Gravel Institute, we’re building something to beat them at their own game. Short, high-quality, easy to understand videos presenting leftist ideas and refuting right-wing lies. Stuff you can send to your friends, your mothers, your secret lovers, your mother’s lovers, your known lovers. Oh, and we’ve got big name presenters. From Bernie Sanders to Chelsea Manning. Here are a few that we’ve lined up [Cornel West, Slavoj Zizek, Richard Wolff, Stephanie Kelton, Nick Estes, Mike Gravel]. Okay, so this won’t be easy and we’re going against a Goliath. So we definitely need your help. We want this to be a collaborative organization, guided by its members, where we’re trying to do something big. So hey, let’s do this!

This is also probably a good place to bring up inoculation theory because that’s what a lot of these right-wing groups utilize. It’s most powerful against those who don’t have an opinion on a certain topic yet and it makes it harder to fight against whatever ideas they were fed.
