Episode 4950: Trump Signs EO's Designating Muslim Brotherhood Groups A Terrorist Organization
25 Nov 2025
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The great Eric Bolling. We're not going to have a cold open. We're not even going to bring in the show. We're going to go right to the White House. We have breaking news from the White House. Our own Brian Glenn. Pretty historic what happened, Brian. It happened. Nobody saw it, but you know about it. What's up?
Yeah, good afternoon, Steve. Just less than an hour ago, Secretary Rubio and Scott Besant, along with President Trump, made an executive order to begin the process of designating certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood of Foreign Terrorist Organizations around the world. This comes after intense research that found that these organizations were trying to reshape Western society.
societies from within. And we, of course, know what has happened just recently last week in Texas with Governor Greg Abbott there designating different sanctions of Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations as well, trying to prevent the Sharia law coming up within many cities across this country. So this is a big step.
in terms of protecting not only a national security, but protecting lives of people around the country.
Chapter 2: What executive order did Trump sign regarding the Muslim Brotherhood?
And, of course, that just happened a few minutes ago. That was closed to the press, so we did not have an opportunity to go in the Oval Office.
Brian, do you know when this it's going to be promulgated? Has it been promulgated? Because I know people are going to look. We tried to do this in 2017 and got nowhere. I tell people all the time it was the hardest. And I didn't think it was that hard. We got shut down. But one of the blowbacks was that, well, all the Muslim Brotherhood's not a terrorist organization. They're running schools.
They're doing this. Of course, the heart of it is a terrorist organization. Do we have any idea about the details of this?
They only called for them to investigate which ones and to identify the certain groups.
Chapter 3: What research led to the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization?
Now, I think the timeline on this is to be ordered within 30 days of this executive order. So I would imagine the wheels are already turning right now to find out exactly which ones need that designation. And perhaps there's some that don't. That's yet to be determined. But nevertheless, President Trump making a strong stance today and
designating these Muslim Brotherhoods for being domestic terrorists.
Now, how does he do this on Monday, Brian, when on Friday we had Mamdani in the Oval, and it was quite cordial, it looked like. Now, John Solomon tells the day it's five-dimension chess that's happening. He didn't want to give him a Zelensky moment. But how do you designate? And as you know, in War Room, we refer to Mamdani as the Ugandan Marxist jihadist.
Chapter 4: How does the executive order impact national security and local laws?
How do you designate go after the Muslim Brotherhood on Monday when you had a cordial meeting with Mondani on Friday? Is this five-dimension chess, sir?
Perhaps or it could be a response, Steve, to whenever a reporter asked Mondani if Trump was a fascist. And, of course, Trump reacted and said, don't answer that. Just say yes. And and kind of, you know, really not allowing him to define President Trump as a potential fascist. And we we simply know that's not true. But then the very next day he.
Mondani went in front of the media once again calling Trump a fascist. So maybe this is a direct response to what went down on Friday. And maybe this is a little bit of a punchback. Maybe John Solomon is right. Maybe this is 5D chess that he's playing. But it's something that's really amazing. I was talking to some colleagues before we came on the air.
They were really surprised that this has not happened sooner considering all of the events in history of the attacks not only on the U.S., but in Israel as well, going back to the attack in October, linking a lot of that to some of these jihadist groups. But nevertheless, he did it today, and we thought the press would have an opportunity to go inside and ask a few questions.
Chapter 5: What historical context surrounds the Muslim Brotherhood's activities?
Now, previous to that, and I kind of knew this would happen, at around 3 o'clock, Carolyn, And Levitt came out and did a gaggle at the stakeout unit right out here in front of the West Wing. So I kind of figured that if she did that, then the four o'clock oval indeed would be closed and no comments from the press, from the president rather. And that's exactly what happened.
Okay, we'll follow that intensely, and we're gonna have a big report on that tomorrow. This is a step in the right direction. It's not absolutely final, and the investigation into how he shut him down is clearly not starting, but these guys have a big reach, and they've got a lot of money. A bombshell this afternoon on the Comey, Big Tish James. They're trying to crush Halligan, Pam Bondi.
What is the White House? What's the word around the White House about what happened this afternoon in federal court on the Comey and Big Tish James fraud cases, sir?
Yeah, from what I was not able to get any kind of official word from the White House, but from what I was listening to earlier, they basically are going to try and they said that I guess Lindsay's appointment was not constitutional, if I'm not mistaken. I don't want to get my facts mixed up here. I want to kind of maybe defer to this topic because I don't have a complete rundown of what that was.
But it certainly was one of the topics that Carolyn Leavitt had to take today. And one of the questions was, will they go back and try this again at a later time? And that's yet to be determined. So I wish I had more information on Steve, but I don't.
Wow. Okay, we're going to have Will Chamberlain on from Article 3. He's going to break it all down for us. Julie Kelly and Mike Davis tomorrow morning. This is huge. Brian, thank you. Great scoop on the Muslim Brotherhood. What's your social media, sir?
You can go follow me at BrianGlennTV on Twitter, Instagram, and on at Brian on True Social. Steve, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you, brother. Our White House correspondent, Brian Glenn, with the scoop on the Muslim Brotherhood, a executive order to investigate whether you should go and investigate more what branches of it. And I'm sure we're going to have some expert on this tomorrow on the show. We're going to break it all down for you about exactly what is going on in Texas and
And overall, the Muslim Brotherhood, like I said, the world's, I think, largest jihadist terrorist group, Sunni, but their reach is all over. Okay, we have a cold open. Let's go ahead. Denver, let's go ahead and punch into the cold open. I'm going to come back. We're going to tee up Will Chamberlain from Article 3 for the next box.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of designating certain groups as terrorists?
Let's go ahead and let it rip.
The criminal charges brought against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James have been dismissed. A federal judge found that Lindsay Halligan was unlawfully appointed to the role of interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
And because Halligan alone presented the case to the grand jury and alone signed the indictments, the indictments are now null and void. The Justice Department will likely appeal the ruling, but it is a major victory for both James and Comey. Comey was indicted on charges of making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation.
James was charged with bank fraud and making false statements. Both pleaded not guilty and both accused the current administration of using the Justice Department as a tool for the president's retribution.
I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence, and a reflection of what the Department of Justice has become under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking. But I was also inspired by the example of the career people who refused to be part of this travesty.
It cost some of them their jobs, which is painful, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price. And I know they will serve again. I was very lucky that some of the best lawyers in America stepped forward to represent me. I hope they serve as an example to more and more lawyers, especially at some of the big firms, to participate in protecting our liberty, protecting the rule of law.
We just spoke about this a couple of days ago. I told you that I thought the case was a choose-your-own-adventure of procedural errors, and here we are, because this was a huge one. And as we also discussed... Halligan being appointed after the 120 days of the interim appointment had been exceeded was a huge problem. And indeed, the court agreed that she wasn't lawfully appointed.
And the problem here is that Halligan did everything on her own. And so now these indictments can't stand. Now, with respect to have you seen anything like this before? I mean, I just heard the conversation. We did see the Mar-a-Lago case being dismissed. on similar but different grounds.
The legal grounds of why the Jack Smith Mar-a-Lago indictment was ultimately dismissed with Jack Smith's unlawful appointment is different here, but similar broadly. Prior to these two indictments, not really, right? Usually, DOJ follows proper process and procedure. And now we see what happens when DOJ attempts to do an end run around those procedures.

Chapter 7: What recent developments occurred in the Comey and James cases?
They got cash, U.S. dollars, and they got gold. The individuals brought this out the best, I think, and also going to Rio and talk about the Rio Reset and the de-dollarization program is our guest, of course, Philip Patrick.
Philip, one thing I just want to get on the table, like you got on the gold is becoming this kind of new asset class that hasn't been in decades, is the situation with crypto. And just the fact that, and I think people got to look at this, crypto, I think, has lost... $1.2 trillion in market cap or value in the last three or four weeks.
And our concern here is not simply about crypto and part of the audience that owns crypto, but what it can mean as far as pattern recognition. Because what's important here is, as I keep saying, the world has $370 approximately trillion of debt, and we're concerned about the world's largest margin call. And is this potentially the canary in the mine shaft, sir?
Yeah, I think absolutely. First of all, it was just a huge amount wiped off the crypto market in a very short space of time, as you say. This isn't just a price drop that we saw. It was a forced deleveraging event. And I think once the big drawdown started, every leveraged player in the space had to unwind positions, and that turns what is a downturn into a cascade.
When it comes to crypto, there's stress in a number of different areas. Funding rates have flipped deeply negative, so traders are now paying to stay short. Stablecoin flows have now gone flat, so there's no fresh money entering into the system. And exchanges have seen the biggest sell-off since 2022. People are taking assets off the platform. That isn't speculation. It's fear.
But as you mentioned, when you zoom out, there's another layer to this. Crypto was supposed to be the high beta expression of the AI boom. But now we've got the AI story wobbling. We've got liquidity thinning. We've got a Fed that's split right down the middle. So the entire speculative complex is losing oxygen at the same time, which means Crypto collapse is not an isolated storm.
As you put it, I think it's the canary in the coal mine. We've seen this exact pattern over and over again. We saw it at the turn of the century in 2000. We saw it in 2008. We saw it briefly in 2022. When the system gets shaky, traders dump the lowest quality, highest volatility assets to raise cash at essentially lower their risk exposure.
So yes, crypto is the first domino, but it's not the only one wobbling. We're seeing wider spreads in credit markets. We're seeing hedge funds now deleveraging. Retail investors are pulling to the sidelines. This is a classic flight to quality moment. But the big problem is the so-called risk-free assets, they're not working either. Government debt has been a major loser for the last five years.
Cash is a sure loser when we adjust for inflation. And the dollar, as we've discussed many times, is just not acting like the safe haven it once was. The big problem I see is that the safety valve of the financial system is also broken. And when risk assets grow up, you're supposed to move to stable ones.

Chapter 8: How does the blue slip process affect judicial appointments?
Tomorrow morning, it should mean that your landlord is going to start looking harder at those rental contracts and revising those rents downwards. And we are already seeing price drops in the relevant markets where we know we had a lot of units under the control of Graystar. And we expect to see more of that.
Will you take, if people don't go back to the free market and continue to kind of use this, will you go to court and try to shut them down or bring penalties against them?
100%. We can enforce this order. We can enforce an order violation if we see conduct that's contrary to the conduct they signed up for under this order.
Okay, Gail, can you hang on for a second? Gail Slater over at Maine Justice, she's the head of the Antitrust Division, which is one of the biggest and most powerful and most important of all the divisions within the Department of Justice. And we've known Gail from the first term. Gail was in the White House with us in the National Security Council.
She'll join us at the 6 o'clock hour in a few minutes to discuss more things about antitrust. We know everybody in the war room is a... Once entrepreneurial capitalism, entrepreneur finance, Mike Lindell, we couldn't get a better entrepreneur than you. They've been trying to put you out of business. I got to introduce you to Gail Slater, man.
You could use the justice department coming in on your side. They've been trying to shut you down forever, sir.

I spent all afternoon, Steve, with lawyers today, filling out interrogatories for both a machine company, I won't mention no names, I all know who they are, and our AG in Minnesota attacking MyPillow's, I mean, the Lindale Recovery Network.
