Bringing the Receipts: the Major National Security Risks if Muslim Brotherhood Supporter Abdul El-Sayed is Elected to the Senate

Oct 14, 2026 · 37m

Summary

Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson analyze alleged connections between Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood, citing evidence such as his sister’s tweets and his father-in-law’s role in ISNA. They argue that El-Sayed’s denial of these ties is false and that his election would pose a national security risk by granting him access to classified intelligence. The episode also criticizes NBC’s Meet the Press for failing to challenge El-Sayed’s claims during a recent interview.
