Episode 64 - Tucker Says Chabad Is Conducting The War On Iran. Can't Make It Up.

Outrage travels fast, and lately it feels like the loudest voices set the story before truth gets a chance to breathe. We open the hood on how that happens, tracing a familiar script: selective praise, a dramatic pivot, then a scapegoat to absorb the blame. When a pundit paints Chabad as a hidden hand in world affairs, we don’t just push back on facts; we examine why such claims land, how they hook our anxieties, and what they cost communities that are built on service, not spectacle.

From there, we step into a deeper frame. The Torah’s account of the spies isn’t a relic; it’s a manual for reading modern rhetoric. Start with beauty to earn trust, inject fear to seize control, then watch the crowd recoil. The price of that bad report was forty years of wandering—a cautionary tale about how ego-driven speech can stall a whole generation. We connect that ancient pattern to today’s media incentives, showing how arrogance and ignorance work together to manufacture certainty without study.

So what breaks the cycle? Humility that leads, not hides. Moses stands as the model: firm spine, quiet ego, service first. We talk about choosing teachers over influencers, sources over slogans, and the courage to say “I don’t know” before speaking for effect. You’ll leave with simple filters to strengthen your information diet, protect your attention, and anchor your choices in wisdom: verify before sharing, map who benefits, and refuse the bait of flattery-then-fear. If this resonates, share it with someone who’s weary of the noise, subscribe for more grounded conversations, and leave a review with the one line that stayed with you. Your words help honest voices carry further.

Setting The Stage: Media Noise

SPEAKER_00 0:12

Welcome to the Trust Factor Podcast, the only podcast that guarantees your success when you implement its divine age old teachings. Good morning, my dear friends. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for joining. This is another episode of the Trust Factor Podcast, a place that gets your head screwed on straight. Because everybody else seems to have theirs on backwards, don't they? The world is so upside down that I can't help but start these podcasts off with some current events to address the elephant in the room. It's hard to ignore the crazies because the crazies today have microphones. The crazies today, their voices are amplified and they're carried, not just locally, but globally. You know, it used to be that we lived in a time where you were watching the news and that's where you got your information from, or you read a newspaper, and again, all of these things were local. You couldn't read Russian newspapers unless you worked really, really hard to get them. You couldn't watch

From Local News To Global Megaphones

SPEAKER_00 1:09

Ukrainian television or African television. It wasn't an option. So the information that you were exposed to was local. What really affected you, the stuff that was close by. And even that, 90% of it doesn't affect us. But we know that we are desiring of information and knowledge, and so we go out of our way to acquire it. And the juicier it is, the more we'll go out of our way. Why am I mentioning all this?

Calling Out Conspiracy Playbooks

SPEAKER_00 1:32

Because our friend Tucker Carlson keeps reaching new lows. These people, I want you to understand, they have a motive and they have a mode of operation that fools a lot of people. Unfortunately, people aren't that difficult to fool. That is a big stain on humanity, but that is what it is. The point is that he is capitalizing on human frailty. And how does he do it? In many, many ways. I gave you examples the other day. I'll give you another example today of what this clown is doing. The latest is that he's blaming the war on Iran on Israel. We all know that. Every Jew hater blames everything on Israel, especially when times are difficult. Throughout history, this is nothing new. You should know. This is nothing new. Bekoldovador, Omdim Alenur le Khalotenu, and every generation they stand over us to destroy us. Why? Because every generation has good times and bad times. In the good times, okay, they still hate you. They're just too busy being successful to do anything about it. In the bad times, that's when they focus on us because they need a scapegoat. They need an outlet to be able to pour all their problems onto. And unfortunately, throughout history, that's been us, this tiny nation, 15 million people barely showing up on any radars. But somehow, somehow, when things are difficult, it's because we control the world. And when things are great, it's because we control it's all our fault. Doesn't matter what we do. Anyway, what's the

The Chabad Scapegoat Claim

SPEAKER_00 2:56

latest? In his genius, this guy figured out that the real people behind this are none other than Chabad. Chabad is behind the war in Iran. Can you imagine? These are the people that have a little shul on every corner of the world trying to get to the Jews that are lost, trying to be able to bring them back to Torah to back to their creator. These are the organizations that sacrifice their entire lives. You've seen these Chabad families. They take themselves and they put their beautiful families with little children out of a Jewish community and into areas that have almost no Jews, which means their children cannot grow up in a Jewish environment, which means they don't pray with a minion, which means they don't get to do a lot of the mitzvahs that we get to enjoy because we live in a Jewish community. They can't, but they sacrifice in order to bring other Jews. They have so many amazing programs. And you know what he does, Tucker Carlson? He mentions first, before he rips into them, before he tells you why they're the villain, he first placates you to show you that he's really not mean and he's really not nasty. He points out the good features. First, he says, yeah, they have wonderful programming and drug addiction, alcohol abuse programming, and all kinds of wonderful things. But, but don't be fooled, he says. They want the building of the third temple in Jerusalem. And that's why they want this war. They want to tear down Al-Aqsa, they want to tear down the Dome of the Rock, and they want to build the third temple over there. That's only Chabad. You hear how brilliant this guy is? With his complete sense of ignorance, he has no idea of basic facts, and yet this guy's gonna come out and tell the world who Chabad is and how Jews operate and what our Torah dictates and how every Jew thinks he's gonna come and tell the whole world. He doesn't realize that every Jew wants the third temple built.

Temple Misconceptions And Theology

SPEAKER_00 4:59

And all of the Christians who know what they should be praying for also should want the third temple built. It's all in the same idea, it's all for the same end. All major religions understand this. And this guy is coming to say that it's Chabad specifically that want to destroy the Dome of the Rock because there we want to build our third temple, and Chabad is pulling the strings on Donald Trump. You understand? That's how warped this individual's

Torah Lens: The Spies’ Tactic

SPEAKER_00 5:28

mind is. But I want you to understand that there's a reference to this in the Torah in another kind of roundabout way. When did we see this approach? When were we warned about the approach of these conspiracy theorists, of these evil people with wicked tongues? We were warned when the Torah gave us an example of how we sent in the spies. You'll remember, we got to Israel. Moses took the Jews out of Egypt, brought us to the edge, to the border of the land of Israel. And the Jews didn't want to go in. They were nervous. And so as a result, they decided to send in spies to spy out the land. Let's do some reconnaissance. Let's find out what's waiting for us. And we know that of the many that went in, most of them didn't want to go for multiple reasons, most of which had to do with the fact that they thought they were going to lose their status because they were all princes. They were princes of the tribes of the Jewish tribes. And they thought that by going in they would lose their status and they didn't want to lose their power and status. Where have we seen that before? And so therefore they didn't want to go into the land, so they came back and they gave a negative accounting. But before they gave the negative accounting of what they saw, they first primed you with a little bit of placation. Oh, yeah, it's right. It's beautiful, it's lush, and its fruits are giant, and it gives you all this wonderful accounting of how beautiful the land is. But just like the Tucker Carlson of the world, but whoa, whoa, whoa, cool your jets. There's giants there, and there's burials happening all the time, and the land swallows its inhabitants, and they're too powerful for us, and we'll never beat them, and brought the nation down. And what happened as a result of that, my friends? The Jewish nation that was freed from slavery, that was going to its ultimate destination and was going to live a life of utopia, was not allowed entrance, was shut out from Israel. We were forced to wander in the desert for 40 years. Why 40 years? Why did we have to wander in the desert? Why was that the punishment? And the answer will ring in your head.

Consequences Of Fear And Slander

SPEAKER_00 7:31

The reason that we weren't allowed to enter was because God wanted to kill off the entire generation that was the cause of that conspiracy against Israel. God said, These people and their conspiracies that kept all of the goodness away and misled this nation are not worthy of entering into the land. And as a result of that, we had to wander through the desert until that entire generation died off. And only after that generation died off, with the exception of a very few who were on the right side of history, only then were we allowed to enter into the land of Israel and possess it. Only after that happened, my friends. It's a clear message to the Tucker Carlsons of the world and the rest of his cronies about how their deceit and their evil tongue is seen by our Creator. It's hated on the highest, highest

Arrogance And Ignorance Defined

SPEAKER_00 8:25

levels. Let's get back to the book. Arrogance, no coincidence. You think it's a coincidence that that's the first word I read? Arrogance, who's the most arrogant of them all? These conspiracy theorists who think they know everything, blaming the warned Chabad. Shocking. In effect, it says, every sin is the result of arrogance. A person transgresses when he forgets his creator. For if he would remember and feel that he is right there with him this very moment, he certainly wouldn't transgress. Arrogance causes a person to forget their creator and therefore leads to sin. I want to add to that, if I may, my own touch. It's not only arrogance that causes a person to sin, it's also ignorance. And that's exactly what we just talked about. The fact that these people know nothing. They know nothing. And we're dealing with it more in this generation than in any other generation. The sense of entitlement to speak and to explain and to teach. As though somehow they know they haven't learnt a stitch. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. They go on AI, Chat GPT, they punch in a few keystrokes, and they get whatever pops up and they repeat, they parrot those words in their own voice, and suddenly they think that they're an authority. Ignorance, my friends. Sit down and learn. Sit down and learn. You have an obligation to pick up the Torah and have a teacher and sit and learn. And if you learned Aleph Bait, the Hebrew ABC, then now you have an obligation to teach that ABC. You don't have an obligation to teach something you don't know. In fact, you shouldn't, because there is a danger in doing that. That's why often you'll hear me saying, I'm not sure, reminding you I'm not a rabbi, reminding you that you need to check with a qualified rabbi, a halakhic authority, because I'm not the guy to give that out. And I will constantly remind you of that. The rest of the world on the secular side operates the opposite way. They will tell you even the things that they don't know with a sense of certainty and entitlement. And case in point, this clown, I have nothing, no other word to call him than

Learning Over Loudness

SPEAKER_00 10:33

a clown, Tucker Carlson demonstrated that clearly for the entire world that he's blaming the war on Chabad. It's so funny. It would be sad if it wasn't so funny. Let's continue. The arrogant person forgets that he's nothing without the creator. It's so true. Guys, if I've been doing this for a long time, I've been religious for 20 years. I've been learning Torah for 20 years. I've been bringing my rabbi in for many, many years, giving lectures myself, watching my rabbi give lectures, other scholars give lectures, and I see clear as day, especially in the movement where there's where we're making Bale Chuva, which means we're bringing people back to their real purpose, back to their creator. We see clear as day that the people who are resistant, the people who push away, the people who we have the hardest time with are the most arrogant. They think so much of themselves. You remember I gave you that Hebrew term, Chmolog, the guy, the Israeli guy who thinks he's so smart, he's so brilliant that he's too smart for this world. He's got it all figured out. Those are the guys he's talking about over here. It's the arrogant ones. I told you guys about that uh video. I think I told you about it. If you haven't watched it yet, go. You have no excuse. Rabbi Mizrahi, my rabbi, debating an individual who is Israeli, who has an organization that brings people away from religion. He has an organization that reaches out to Jews, religious Jews, Orthodox

Humility, Moses, And True Leadership

SPEAKER_00 12:06

Jews, Hasidic Jews, and does his best to pull them away from the religion. The exact opposite of what needs to be happening in this world, and you could see clearly, it's all about him. It's all about validating his lifestyle and his choices, and he's going to push that on the rest of the world. Rabba Mizrachi debates this guy, and it's a master class. And it's out there, it's on YouTube. I've shared on my Facebook. There's a video with English subtitles. You must watch it and understand who we are fighting. It is a very, very vile, negative approach to life. One that wants to undermine all of the things that God put in this world, all of the good things, all of the good lessons, all of the good instructions that God gave us, he wants to undermine and he doesn't get away with it, not for a second. That's an arrogant person. You will see it spilling, oozing out of his mouth. You will see the arrogance. It's unbelievable. That's why arrogance usually precedes failure or setback. Not to say that everybody who's arrogant fails all the time. No, sometimes there are people who are so arrogant that their arrogance forces some form of success on them. But it always comes at a cost. Always. It's always at somebody else's expense. Don't be mistaken. A person's setbacks are the result of his arrogance. If a person is honest with himself, he'll see how this principle is true in everything that takes place in life. Assess, reassess, make sure that at all costs you don't have arrogance. The opposite is what God wants. Remember why he chose Moses to lead the nation. Not because he was arrogant, because he was the opposite, the reciprocal of arrogant. Moses was the most humble, the most modest of all men. And that's why he chose him. He wasn't so humble that he wasn't able to lead a nation of millions of Jews. He did that very successfully. But he was humble enough to do it in the right way, my friends. That's what we all need to do. Self-assessment. Make sure we're not part of this generation's flaws. We haven't taken them on to be arrogant and to be ignorant and to have a sense of entitlement. Do the opposite and you will win every
