33 minutes

Designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization
- Senator Cruz discusses his long-standing effort to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group.
- He outlines the organization's history, global reach, and alleged ties to terrorism.
- The conversation critiques past U.S. administrations, particularly the Obama and Biden administrations, for their handling of the Brotherhood.
- Cruz introduces a “modernized” version of his bill using a “bottom-up” approach to target specific violent branches first.

IRS Ruling on Churches and Political Endorsements
- The IRS has agreed that churches and pastors can endorse political candidates without risking their tax-exempt status.
- This is framed as a major shift from the Johnson Amendment, which previously discouraged political speech from the pulpit.
- The discussion includes a personal anecdote from Cruz about defending pastors in Houston who were subpoenaed for their sermons.
Biden Autopen Scandal
- The New York Times reported that President Biden used an autopen to sign pardons without personally reviewing each case.
- Cruz argues that this could render many of those pardons legally invalid under DOJ guidelines.
- The conversation speculates on the legal and political implications, including potential challenges to the pardons.
