El-Sayed’s Disturbing Iranian Ties Revealed? | Guest: Annie Jacobsen | 10/7/26 | Guest: Annie Jacobsen | 10/7/26

The October 7th anniversary is being remembered in two opposite ways. In Israel, families stand at fresh graves and a man delivers challah bread to soldiers for the 156th consecutive Friday. Across the border, Hamas calls the massacre a "towering milestone," and in France and New York, there are parades celebrating it. Glenn Beck uses this divide to argue that voters in Michigan are ignoring similar signals in their own Senate race.

The El-Sayed Connection

Beck's central argument is that Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has built a long, documented relationship with people who openly support America's enemies, and that Michigan voters are refusing to see it because they fear being called bigots. He traces the network to one figure: Mohammed Ali Elahi, who runs the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn Heights. Before coming to Michigan in 1992, Elahi was personally appointed by Ayatollah Khomeini to run the political-ideological office of the Iranian Navy—his job was to reconvert officers who had gone "Western." After 9/11, Elahi said Israel and Mossad did it. He defended Hezbollah as "resistant." He held a vigil when an American airstrike killed a Quds Force commander, calling it an honor for the man to die at "the most wretched hands on earth."
