Hi, this is H. Jon Benjamin.

00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:09.000
I'm here to talk to you about a big problem on the Internet.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.800
It's called people emailing my wife––

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.600
no, it's called PragerU.

00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:16.100
Imagine a huge stream of lies

00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:18.200
that pours into every computer in America.

00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:21.000
Imagine it's disguised to look unbiased

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.300
and packaged into slick videos.

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.600
And imagine oil billionaires give them tens of millions

00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.200
each year to indoctrinate your friends, your family.

00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:31.700
Well, that's PragerU.

00:00:31.700 --> 00:00:34.500
And the thing is, it works.

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:38.000
1 out of every 3 Americans online has seen one of their videos.

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.600
And 70% say that Prager's videos changed their minds.

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.500
This stuff makes a difference, and every day

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:47.300
it is pulling people toward the right.

00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:49.400
At the Gravel Institute, we're building something

00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:51.400
to beat them at their own game.

00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:54.500
Short, high-quality, easy-to-understand videos,

00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:58.300
presenting leftist ideas and refuting right-wing lies.

00:00:58.300 --> 00:01:00.900
Stuff you can send to your friends, your mothers,

00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:06.800
your secret lovers, your mother's lovers, your known lovers...

00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:09.100
Oh, and we've got big name presenters

00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:11.500
from Bernie Sanders to Chelsea Manning.

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:13.900
Here are a few that we've lined up:

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.500
Okay, so this won't be easy,

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:18.500
and we're going against the Goliath.

00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:20.100
So we definitely need your help.

00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:24.300
We want this to be a collaborative organization, guided by its members.

00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:27.000
We're trying to do something big.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.500
So, hey, let's do this.
