What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Good evening. I'm glad to be here in Torah or in Los Angeles. Thank you for coming. We will speak about several different topics as we announce. We will speak about the situation in the world today. Where are we heading to according to the Torah and the prophets and also Jewish common sense. As you know, in the last year and a half to two years, the world started to have a financial crisis. Even though it's only financial, it could have been worse things. Financial is related to almost everything relates to wars to security of countries. When the economy of countries are doing very bad, it leads usually to horrible wars. If you look at the history when countries cannot maintain their bills and cannot function in economy, it leads them to go into war. War usually improves the economy. He gives more jobs, they spend more money, they print more money. This is the situation in perhaps in the history of the world. There was no crisis that the future looks so bad. We still didn't get to the worst of it. Even though on the news they say the situation getting better, we see indications that business becoming better and the future looks better. But this is if you really honest with yourself and you really see the picture, you see that they dreaming it's not getting better. It's getting a lot worse. Why in the last six, seven months it seems that the economy gets better. Why? Of course, the government printed more than a trillion dollars and gave it out. The government buy all the bad business from all the banks. If the government wouldn't do it, you wouldn't have one bank left in America. All the major banks, City Bank, Bank of America, they all were a month before bankruptcy.
