BONUS: Why We Should Designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organ

Verdict with Ted Cruz:  Why We Should Designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization, plus IRS Concludes Churches Can Endorse Candidates & NYT Reports Biden Unaware of Many Autopen Pardons

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz dives into three major topics shaping U.S. politics and policy:

Muslim Brotherhood Terror Designation

Senator Cruz outlines his long-standing push to officially designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. He explores the group's historical roots, international influence, and alleged ties to extremist violence. Cruz also critiques the Obama and Biden administrations for their handling of the Brotherhood and introduces a modernized, bottom-up legislative approach targeting violent factions first.

IRS Ruling on Churches & Political Speech

Cruz breaks down a significant IRS decision affirming that churches and pastors can endorse political candidates without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status. He frames this as a major shift from the Johnson Amendment and shares a personal story about defending Houston pastors who were subpoenaed for their sermons.

Biden Autopen Pardon Controversy

The episode also covers a New York Times report revealing that President Biden used an autopen to sign pardons, potentially without reviewing them personally. Cruz argues this could make the pardons legally questionable under DOJ guidelines and discusses the broader legal and political fallout.
