A cross section of our midsection

Seth: We're not trying to sympathize with an antisemite, for example, but what we're saying is that there's something going on here that we have not successfully identified for thousands of years. I want you to

Lio: have that feeling in your guts like it's uncomfortable and you want

Seth: to run away. Let's open it up and look inside and see the mechanics of what's going on. It turns out it's not just what we see with our eyes. If you don't unite, you're gonna have trouble because the purpose of this people is to bring unity to all humanity, to be an example of unity to all of humanity.

Lio: I want us to prove Hitler wrong. I want us to show that we can unite when there is no common enemy and there is no common booty. Do you think we can do it? I know

Seth: we can do it. The Jews saw them all, beat them all, and are now what they always were. All things are mortal but the Jew. All other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality? Okay,

Lio: listen, enough of that. This is a podcast, The Jew Function, and we're going to find the solution to antisemitism, okay? We're going to stop that right here, right now, from this stinking basement. When we get to the bottom of this, we're going to read from this mystery book, which you're not going to find out about until the end of the series. And we're going to entertain every perspective. We're not going to say, "Oh, you can't say this, you can't say that." No, we're going to say everything. Because if we're not going to be able to talk about it, we're not going to be able to solve it. We're going to really grab you in the kishke, and we're going to squeeze until we get something. Either a bowel movement or a freaking solution. We want to know what happened 3,500 years ago in Babylon that started this whole mess. And we want to finish it here in 2020. That's it. Seth, do you know the story of Walter Rathenau? He was a Jew in Germany right between the wars. Actually, he rose to power right around World War I. I think his story represents, to some extent, the story of the Jews in Germany.

Lio: Let's read his story.

Lio: He was in the government. He was actually a minister eventually in the government. But let's read a story from historian Nigel Jones.

Seth: Rathenau was one of the most formidable figures in early 20th century Germany. A Jewish industrialist, thinker, and diplomat, he built the enormous AEG electronics and engineering conglomerate into a powerhouse of the German economy. During the First World War, when Britain's naval blockade was starving Germany of vital raw material imports, Rathenau became his nation's economic overlord. Rathenau husbanded Germany's dwindling resources and directed its industrial production, brilliantly improvising to give a lease of life to its failing war effort. His work, according to some historians, prolonged German resistance by months or even years. It also sowed the seeds of hatred in the minds of Germany's antisemitic nationalists, who saw in Rathenau not a great patriot brilliantly managing scarcity but a rich Jew cornering markets. After the Weimar Republic sought out the talented Rathenau, making him a foreign minister, so the

Lio: one after the war

Seth: right. It's just after the war, right?

Seth: It stoked the right-wing's rage in 1922 by negotiating the Treaty of Rapallo with the nascent Soviet Union and insisting that Germany had to fulfill the provisions of the deeply unpopular Treaty of Versailles. The fanatical right in Germany tramped

Lio: basically the treaty said that Germany must pay reparations to the world for trying to conquer it.

Seth: Fanatical right-wingers in Germany were yelling, "Knock down Walter Rathenau, the god-forsaken Jew." Some prepared to do just that. On June 24, 1922, a rogue right-wing terrorist group murdered Rathenau as he drove to his office from his home in Berlin. His assassination did not crush the infant Republic, but it was a clear sign that Germans would not agree to Jewish acculturation among them. It proved that for all their efforts, Jews were still pariahs.

Lio: A story of Jews trying to do good and being met with less than popular parades on the streets, right? I think maybe we try to bite more than we can chew. As Jews? As Jews, well, as you and I. I think the fact that we think we can read from a mystery book and get people to change their minds. I mean, we're so wired to intuitively believe what we think is true and programmed to disagree with what we think is not true.

Seth: People need to spend time with us, Lio. They need to be bathed in this, they need to hear it, because if you just hear us at the outset or a sound bite, you might think that we're sympathetic towards antisemites or that we're just smartasses.

Lio: I was called that before.

Seth: Yeah, way worse. And not only that, I find all the time when I'm speaking to people about this topic, they're constantly misquoting me, even after reading my book. The book says, for instance, we don't need to change human nature. Human nature is natural. We just need to change the goal for which we use our nature, right? Then I'm talking to people, and it always comes up, "You're never going to change human nature." It's like, no, we're not trying to change human nature. The things we're saying are not incomprehensible; it just takes time to slow down the reactions and understand it. Otherwise, people are just hearing their script that's constantly running and can't hear what we're really trying to say. We're not trying to sympathize with an antisemite, for example. But what we're saying is there's something going on here that we have not successfully identified for thousands of years.

Lio: I think what makes it so difficult is that we live at a time where calling out any one group and saying they're somehow different is frowned upon. Going a step further and saying,

Seth: well, if you suffer any... If you say it's for LGBTQ, it's fine. If it's for Black Lives Matter, it's fine.

Lio: For now, yeah. But I think if we let these movements keep going, in like 50 years, someone might say, "Well, enough of that. We're just regular people, right? Like, we're nothing special." Once you have your seeming place in society, you don't want to be different, right? And I think we hear that a lot from our Jewish friends. It's like, "We're just Americans. We just live here. Why do you keep mentioning that we're different people?" But you're being targeted for being Jews. People come out against you or have different expectations. No, no, no. Let's just be like everyone else. And that's what I'm trying to break. I think we need listeners to be able to put their emotions aside a little and listen. I know we have some friends who can do it.

Seth: If the situation is there's a bunch of Woody Allens sitting around, and then some big bad German guy came and killed them for no reason, then okay, fine. But if there's another story going on here, then it behooves us to try and understand what is actually happening. You know, if every single time in history there was just a bunch of passive Jews just being nice, and then all of a sudden a bad guy came and killed them, okay. But maybe there's something else here. And we're not, God forbid, saying that Jewish people are evil. Just that we have to understand where the solution is.

Lio: You know, when you first have a problem, like the first time something bothers you, you put a lot of attention into it. But after a while, you just kind of live with it, right? Oh, I can't eat sugar. Okay, fine. You know, the first year is like, oh, my God, I can't eat sugar. Later on, it's just like you find a way around it. We adapt. People adapt very well. And I think what we're trying to do is not accept antisemitism. I don't want to live with it. That's why we started this thing. This whole conversation is a preamble to talking about the big one. It's okay to talk about the first temple, the second temple. The Spanish thing rings a bell. But the Holocaust is a big one. One of my uncles had a number on his arm. He survived it. My grandma's brother was murdered.

Seth: Yeah, my uncle, who I sat by his Passover table growing up, he was already second generation here in America. He fought in World War II. It's close to home.

Lio: Who are we to talk about these things? Who are we to go through history, draw our conclusions, and try to feed them to people? Well, we're two Jews, and we, like Jews, don't know when to stop. This could be our downfall, but it could also be our ticket out. We're so smart as a nation, and yet we haven't figured that one out. We invented every... I just read about a Jewish-Israeli scientist. She invented a plastic alternative with all the good things about plastic, except that it dissolves in water, and you can drink the water when it's done. We have all these great inventions.

Seth: Check this out. I did a health check this year for my birthday. I did the whole blood work, everything, just to see how I'm doing. They slid me into this machine, and it gave a cross-section of my midsection. Yeah, as if you cut me in half like in those magic shows. You would see my spine and organs with fat in between. It was a revelation, like seeing how that space is constantly filling.

Lio: I know how. Tell me how. Because I used the same analogy in a different class I was giving. It wasn't about my fat, but about someone studying medicine without ever looking inside a body. You feel things, "Oh, I have some pain, maybe it's broken." Then you get x-rays, and you're like, "Oh, my God, there's stuff inside." So by looking at all these sensations, you can see clearly the reason for them, right? I think what you're saying is we're trying to open this up, look inside, and not let ourselves ignore what's there.

Seth: The way we look at antisemitism today is like it's just potato chips and ice cream piling up layer after layer. But instead of understanding it as an integral issue, we need to open it up and look inside to see the mechanics. It turns out it's not just what we see with our eyes. Well, it is if we open up and look inside. But if we're just looking from the outside, we're not going to understand what's really happening here.

Lio: Exactly. And also look at it as one continuous chain rather than disparate events that are unrelated, unrelated people, unrelated relationships, and all that. Last week, we finished with the definition of antisemitism by Wilhelm Marr. Everyone loves to quote him. When I speak to people about antisemitism's roots, they mention Wilhelm Marr. He just gave it a name.

Seth: Antisemitism.

Lio: He penned that word, but his hatred of Jews and what was going on actually led to another mutation in the evolution of antisemitism. From a religious social thing, it became a matter you cannot escape—a matter of race. You cannot marry out of the faith; you cannot just look like everyone else. It was a racial thing. We know there's no Jewish gene, but it doesn't matter. That's the shape it took in the late 1800s. Everything from that moment assumed a sinister overtone, because now you were like a different

Seth: race. Before, you could behave like them, you could convert or whatever. But here, you're born with some mark, and you can't cut it out.

Lio: Not only that, people, politicians started to use it in their campaigns, which is another big one. We know that what happened in Germany in World War II was not the first time that people started to use it. There are plenty of examples in the late 1890s where people simply used antisemitism on their agenda, like we see happening today. But it started then. That was the beginning. There was a bunch of names and dates here, which we're not going to bore the listener with. People were running with openly anti-Semitic agendas, planks, as they're called. So Jews become a tool for political gain, electoral gain. We know 40 years later, the guy that made perfect use of that. The weird thing, and that's the thing we want to draw attention to, is that whenever there's a rise in antisemitism, there is also an increased and intensified division within the Jewish fold. The one thing we can't talk about is disunity. I think what we're learning here is that if the anti-Semites say that it's about our unity, if the old Jewish sages say it's about our unity, and it's the one topic we don't want to talk about, maybe there's something to talk about.

Seth: Unlike Spain, which forced Jews to choose between banishment, death, or conversion to Christianity, Germany was affected by liberalism and therefore permitted the Jews, who had by now been emancipated, to have no religion. Moreover, they could merge with the non-Jews while still remaining Jews and even wed non-Jews without relinquishing their birth religion. As a result, it's almost like we have a whole menu of the types of antisemitism, you know, through the ages, all the different flavors and variations. Jews began to intermarry as soon as they were emancipated, albeit initially in very small numbers. In the first years after the emancipation in Germany, the percentage of intermarriage among Jews where Jews married Protestant or Catholic Germans was less than 5%. But by 1933, when the Nazis came to power, it was almost 30%, even higher.

Lio: I'm saying again, I feel like we have to qualify everything we say. We're not saying that a Jewish person marrying a non-Jew is a problem in and of itself. It's simply an indicator. It's an indicator of a departure from this ideal. And it's also an internal indication for that society. Oh, look, Jews are trying to infiltrate our ranks. They try to be more like us. And that actually creates the opposite effect.

Seth: On the next page, it says 55% of Jewish women in intermarried couples left the Jewish faith, and less than one half of Christian husbands who married in... converted to Judaism. These are not mere statistics. These are never-before-seen levels of intermarriage. They indicate the aspiration of the Jews to abandon their roots and make their host country, in this case Germany, the New Jerusalem. As Lowenstein puts it, the desire of Jews to escape the Jewish community. As we will see, this desire is also precisely what Nazis stressed in their distinction between Zionist Jews and assimilationist Jews. And the Nazis, as we'll learn in the next chapter, were in favor of Zionist Jews, which I was shocked to learn. Remind me what year we are here. We're after World War I.

Lio: 1890s, remember, there was like the birth of Zionism in the 1880s after these storms in the South, that's happening in Russia. Meanwhile, the same emancipation happens in Germany. Jews join the community. They intermarry. They try to basically forget about this Jewishness. I want to quote a post on Facebook. It says, brothers in arms leading to... It's like a chain, right? Like a circle, a loop. Brothers in arms, then an immense achievement, then unfounded hatred, then civil war, then destruction, exile, isolation, assimilation, social justice, antisemitism, brothers in arms. And it keeps repeating. It's just a cycle. I mean, that's the thing that we're trying to show. Nothing in particular. It's not like, oh, social justice is bad or this is wrong or, you know, marrying outside of it. None of that. We're just looking at the patterns that shape this and trying to say what will happen next.

Seth: If we abandon unity, this is what's gonna happen. You marry whoever you want, sleep with whoever you want. If we abandon...

Lio: ...you eat whatever you want, whatever...

Seth: ...you want, why should the Creator care if you slaughter the cow? What does the Talmud say if you slaughter the...

Lio: ...cow in the front of the neck or from the... exactly, if...

Seth: ...you don't unite, you're gonna have trouble because the purpose of this people is to bring unity to all humanity, to be an example of unity to all of humanity.

Lio: I wish people wouldn't test us and wait to see what happens in America. I hope they actually take a look at history.

Seth: More episodes, bro. I'm having such a hard time dealing with what I see in front of me. It's like there are chapters of this book that aren't even written yet. It's like it's playing out in front of us.

Lio: Right. So now this is the part that gets really annoying. Like World War I comes and rolls in, right? Devastating Europe and everything. And Jews fight side by side with, you know, next to Germans, right? And they die at the same rate as non-Jewish Germans. In some ways, as this professor writes, it was a boon for Jews because they welcomed the war as a fight for justice, freedom, German culture, everything. But Germany was defeated in the war, and in 1919, you have the Treaty of Versailles where Germany, as we said, has to pay reparations, and crisis hits, austerity hits. When that happens, we know who's the go-to person. Hold on, when that stuff happens, something just occurred...

Seth: To me, put antisemitism aside, put everything aside for one second. I want to do a little we'll call it an aside. My son's soccer team, okay? You have white kids, you got kids from South America, Guatemala, Mexico. You have a lot of Indian kids. You have, I think, a couple of Chinese boys. I'm not sure if my kid's the only Jew on the team. It's like the United Nations. These kids are all together, and everyone accepts everyone. Everyone plays together, everyone sweats all over each other, and everyone high-fives when you score a goal, and everyone sulks together if they get a goal scored on them. It's so touching to watch it. It's not even a thing. They don't even look at each other. You see them laughing on the sideline. You see them patting each other on the back, handing each other water. When they're out there, nothing... and the nerve of us now to come and say that everyone just wants to be everyone's an American together. Fine, this one eats chapati at home, this one eats, you know, egg rolls at home, and this one eats whatever at home. Fine. That doesn't matter. But when we're together, we're all Americans.

Lio: That premise doesn't hold water as soon as you grow up. As soon as you become conscious of yourself, as soon as you have all these feelings inside of you, as soon as media works on you.

Lio: ...other stuff.

Lio: Suppose they grew up in...

Seth: ...a society, in a small bubble like that. Okay, this one's better at math. This one's better at business. This one's a good singer. And so they all make a little society together. Why do we have this?

Lio: That would be a good experiment.

Seth: They did this experiment with the Biosphere. Remember the Biosphere project? Yeah, I saw the video on YouTube. They all hated each other after.

Lio: Exactly. This is not exactly the same example because they were adults. So you could say, well, they already came in fed with all their toxic notions about each other. You could say that. Although they were very homogenous. There were no like, no one stood out. I don't think there were any black people among them or any other. There was no big racial rift between them. It was a bunch of white people from the West Coast, I think. Nevertheless, something erupted in them, and it brought the whole project down. There were other experiments that were done that brought out...

Seth: ...something from within us. Every commune ever.

Lio: Every commune ever, right? Or the Stanford prison experiment by Philip Zimbardo that showed how just give a person a role, he becomes the best prisoner, and he becomes the best guard, and a minute later they're going to kill each other, even though they were just brothers a minute ago. So there are things about human nature, and some people learned how to tap them and work with them. Nazis, by the way, did a great job, and we'll talk about it next episode, about the masses and all that, mass phobia and all that. That's not the point. The point is that we are dealing with things that are beyond what we think is in our control. We think that we're just these little kids playing soccer, and why can't we just remain the little kids playing soccer into our 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s? But it's not happening. Something is disturbing the peace. I don't know what it is, and if it was just a matter of the 20th century, I would say, oh, it's media, let's stop media, but since it dates back 2-3 thousand years into the past, I would say, let's look at what can it be, and if we read in this book that there was a group that learned how to rise above that quality that separates people naturally and that group learned how to do it and they know how to do it and now they're not doing it and that's why everyone hates them. Let this sink in and do something about it, that's it.

Seth: I'm holding myself back before we get to this quote here because...

Lio: If people heard it now, they just left the show, so I'm waiting for the last, for the end of the episode, consequently...

Seth: To many antisemitic Germans, the war was a great opportunity to prove that assimilated Jews were not really assimilating. Okay, so what's going on here just quickly in a word? The Jews assimilated, they fought with them, and now it's not enough. A striking similarity to the accusations made by the anti-Semitic Spaniards preceded the onset of the Inquisition, which eventually led to numerous executions and a complete expulsion from Spain. The Germans couldn't understand why Germany surrendered. After all, no army invaded, much less conquered Germany, and reports from the front did not disclose the grimness of the situation. As a result, there was only one possible explanation: Germany had been betrayed by socialists, and who were the socialists? Who are the left-wing liberals? You guessed it, yeah, okay. Once again, the paradox of assimilated Jews being accused of not assimilating enough blew the wind out of the sails of the perpetual Jewish effort to become a normal people belonging to the nation where they lived.

Lio: Just as it happened in 15th century Spain and 19th century Russia, the growing antisemitism did not stop the efforts of Jews to assimilate. If anything, it invigorated the efforts. And now, and this is the point in the argument where someone would say, well, you know, you see, this is what happened. It's the fake news, it's the bad media, that's what killed us, and we're saying no, it's just an expression of the same quality over and over again, even before there was fake news and media and all that.

Seth: Right. That doesn't mean that we need to make bagel culture, you know, the number one culture in America. No, it's not about bagel culture, it's not about a beard, it's not about wearing a yarmulke culture. What we're talking about when we talk about this Jewish thing is just the unity of people, that's the thing we're talking about.

Lio: I think the time we're in right now is so crucial because we are in a very similar situation to the situation at the beginning of post-World War I Germany. In this case, there's no world war. It was coronavirus, massive unemployment, recession, people losing everything. It's still happening as we speak, and if you read what's happened in Europe, in Germany, they had these reparations. The payment, you know, the cost of war had devastating consequences. The cost of living rose 12 times between 1914-1922. The government sought to pay the reparations by simply printing more money. That sounds familiar. It's a tactic that never grows old. Printing more money, the value of the German mark rapidly declines, leading to inflation. All of that stuff is happening, right? People are totally in this unrest. So the next bit, said, I want us to talk about it, but instead of, it talks about Germany after World War I, but I want the listeners to replace the word Germany with United States after the coronavirus. Because instead of Germany after World War I, it's going to be United States after the coronavirus.

Seth: Okay, so we read, for example, Germany after World War I was a wreck, internally divided. You want us to think America after coronavirus was a wreck, internally divided.

Lio: Violent crashes erupted...

Seth: ...in Berlin between right-wing paramilitary organizations and left-wing agitators, as if casualties of war were not enough. In March 1919, 15,000 Germans died in just 19 days of street fighting in addition to the...

Lio: ...violence...

Seth: ...the German economy was shattered. The high reparation payments and the cost of the war had devastating consequences. The cost of living in Germany rose 12 times. When the government sought to pay reparations by printing more money, the value of the German mark declined, leading to hyperinflation. The exchange rate was 64 marks to one dollar, and then three years later, it was basically a couple of billion to one...

Lio: No...

Seth: ...a couple of trillion. No, sorry, a couple of billion. Yeah, 4.2 billion marks to one dollar.

Lio: In the midst of the turmoil, Germany managed to establish a genuine albeit short-lived democracy. During those few years of existence of the Weimar Republic, there was freedom of speech, freedom of occupation, freedom of worship. Thanks to this liberalism, and despite increasing antisemitism, German Jewry and post-World War I democratic Germany quickly climbed the ranks of society. Once again, the similarity between the rise of Germany's assimilated Jewry and the Spanish conversos is striking. So you had this time, it's the 1920s, we're in Germany now. You have democracy, and it's very socially liberal. You have, you know, the Jews involved in all these things over there, the nightlife, the bar...

Lio: You had the roaring 20s basically happening in Germany, even as money was scarce and inflation was terrible. Art, liberalism, everything was right.

Seth: So there's this sexual liberation, it was a very real phenomenon with the gay and lesbian rights movement, headed by, of course, a Jew, Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, who ran the Institute for Sexual Science. Women were given full voting rights even before they got them in the US and the UK. Artists were given freedom of expression, and Germany became the cultural hub of Europe.

Lio: Yeah, when you read it, did you replace the word "Germany" with "us"?

Seth: Scarily, yes, I did.

Lio: We don't need to read it again, but this time actually say "us." We get it.

Seth: Jews are always at the forefront of these left-wing social movements, pushing freedom for everyone, pushing equality. You always find Jews there. That's a wonderful quality, a far left-wing liberal quality, very nice. You also find within the Jews this right-wing aspect of making friends with leaders, selling arms, and trying to be involved in politics. Also an important quality to have, maybe more difficult to justify, but it's important too. The issue is, how do you unify these things? Because one without the other is not enough.

Lio: Or, if I dare take it a step further, maybe we don't even need to be doing all those things. Maybe our job is to focus on, take those skills, those innate skills of organization and making connections, and apply them to human connection. Apolitical, a partisan, a financial, but only applied to people—to humans. Can we do that?

Seth: This is a much bigger thing that has to do with psychology, and we have to really get into that. It's a bigger issue because today, for example, some Jew who's making a hundred million dollars, he doesn't need to make more money to maintain his lifestyle. He does it because he feels pride, he feels powerful. So, what you're talking about is somehow he still needs to feel. We talked about it. Human nature is not going to change. He still needs to feel pride and power, but he needs to feel it around making unity, not around making another dollar.

Lio: And on the other side, the Jews who maybe put the money aside say, "Blacks need rights and gays need rights, and every single person needs rights." This is an incredible thing we see with Jewish people throughout the ages, always pushing for the rights of everybody.

Seth: But not at the expense of everyone else. That's the mistake, right? Not rights to these guys and rights to those guys, rather unity for everyone, for all humanity, which includes even the people you hate; somehow they're included too.

Lio: Especially those, yeah.

Seth: Somehow they are included too. They came from a mom. They went to kindergarten. They had a hard time as kids too. Just because nature popped them out different than you and—

Lio: Maybe they also played in a soccer league and were friends with everyone as kids, but nature had other plans. Now I'm on the left, he's on the right, or he's up and I'm down, or whatever the division is, and we need to unite above it. I think the conclusion from this episode is that the conditions are very similar. The 2020s are very much like the 1920s. The parallels are scary. The repetition is almost precise. It's like a VHS tape that you've made another copy of, and another copy. You can still see the movie, but it gets more distorted, more noisy, more muddy, but it's still the same story repeating itself. I'm concerned that if we don't do something, it will set the stage for the same kind of personality that rose in the 1920s in Germany. I want us to end with a quote from this person I've been putting off.

Seth: The episode—

Lio: Yeah, yes, yes. We didn't want to talk. Part of us feels like we shouldn't give him a stage.

Seth: What's the expression that religious people say before they say his name or something?

Lio: The name should be eradicated.

Seth: We're not giving him a stage. This is not a call to arms. If you're an anti-semite and you're listening to this, we're not encouraging you to get violent with the Jews. But it is interesting, and—

Lio: We'll say now because—

Lio: No, there is a "but" because once we start to read it, if you don't like it, you're going to leave, and I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay. I want you to listen. I want you to have that feeling in your gut that's uncomfortable, where you want to run away. That's okay. But if this guy, the one who destroyed more Jews in all of history, speaks in terms similar to what our nearest and dearest Rabbi Akiva did, then I don't think it's propaganda. He could have used any other quality, any other sentiment. We saw this.

Seth: There's no shortage. People are sticking with us to hear this.

Lio: Let's see, you know, and if this is the last time you listen to us, then good luck. Our videos, and goodbye.

Seth: As soon as egoism becomes the ruler of people, the bands of order are loosened, and in the chase after their own happiness, men fall from heaven into a real hell. Yes, even posterity forgets the men who have only served their own advantage. In the Jewish people, as soon as the common enemy is conquered, the danger threatening all averted and the booty hidden, the apparent harmony of the Jews among themselves ceases, again making way for their old causal tendencies. The Jew is only united when a common danger forces him to be or a common booty entices him. If these two grounds are lacking, the qualities of the crassest egoism come into their own and in the twinkling of an eye the united people turns into a horde of rats fighting bloodily amongst themselves. If the Jews were alone in this world, they would stifle in filth and awfulness; they would try to get ahead of one another in hate-filled struggles and exterminate one another.

Lio: I hope we can find a reason to unite. I think there is a common enemy. I think we identified him in this podcast. I think it's our human ego, that tendency to exploit everything and everyone for our own personal pleasures. If there was a group of people who knew how to cure that, how to rise above it, then we need it. We need us to do it. The common booty, hell, I'll fight for a good common booty. It better be eternal love, as we read about before, right? I think it's worthwhile. Would you fight for it? Would you unite for it? Seth, I want us to prove Hitler wrong. I want us to show that we can unite where there is no common enemy and there is no common booty. You think we can do it?

Seth: I know we can do it. We have to do it.

Lio: All right. Heavy, heavy stuff. Yeah, we'll let people sleep on it. What can we learn from this? I hope that people will leave something in the comments. I hope they really, I hope they stick with it because I think there is a happy ending. But it's in our hands.

Seth: We need to overcome this egoism and unite.

Lio: Yeah. That's it. Live from Brooklyn. Everyone's waiting. Live from New Jersey. It's The Jew Function. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, everywhere at The Jew Function. We'll see you next week. Bye, guys.
