[Music] One of the things that I've been speaking against over the last several years is this wicked business that's mam Satan himself attacking Israel again with cash advance in so many words lending money with high interest. Everyone knows that a Jew is not allowed to lend another Jew money and charge him interest. Now, of course, if a Jew is a Shabbat is treatment is as if he's a So, technically, if you did charge him interest, you're allowed to that way and many other pas that way, but they don't recommend you doing it anyway simply because it'll get you used to charging juice interest. And number two, if he does cha, you have a very serious problem. Whether it's the lender, the borrower, the broker, all of them have noah. All of them are in very, very serious problems. So you would think, oh, this is clearcut. This is known already throughout all of our history. What's the problem? The problem is is that Jews are known for being in the lending business throughout all of history. Even from the time of Schlomar Med, Jews are not allowed to be in the lending business and charge interest. Not Jews and not go. Of course, not everybody listened. And throughout all of history, we've had many, many problems because of it. So now over the last 20, 30 years, this horrific business of cash advance has picked up its steam and it's caused a lot of trouble where majority of the most successful companies in that business and that highinterest lending business are not only Jews, but they're Jews that are religious. They have the strip, they have the hat, they have the rabbitical title, they have the kod background, they have the yeshiva background and so on and so forth. You go into an office, you think it's a kodel, but the reality is it's a world apart. It's an entire industry. It's not one or two companies. We're talking about hundreds of companies. We're talking about billions and billions of dollars and they're being led a very very high interest. The normal bank rates today with low interest rates, four, five, 6%. If you have bad credit, let's say 10, 12, credit card 25%, that's it, finished. Other than that, go to the mafia if you want to pay more. But in so many words, that's where it goes. Cash advance business. If you have a really nice guy and he's not an outright murderer, he's going to charge you 45 to 50%. But if he's a standard normal cash advance person, 80 to 400%. Now this is giz. It's not just it's not considered lending. It's considered stealing. Even a terisa would not work on such a business. We have a history of this. Many of the forbid charging interest. Now you can tell, yeah, they forbid it for the Jews. No, no. The prohibition is to not charge go interest. It's needless to say the Torah forbids you from charging Jews interest. But now the lending money with interest to go that everybody's talking about that it is permissible with under those conditions. It's lending with interest that maximum rate is what's permissible by the government. That's the average rate. Meaning let's say if it's bank rates the bank is average let's say 10%. That's what you're allowed to charge. You're not to charge 15% or 20% or 15%. I not do that. So needless to say, you're not to charge 50 and 100 and 200%.
