He never has anything to say but lies
The FBI needs to be broken down and most of the authorities removed.
Broken down- abolished
vicki lyons Absolutely right. Cruz never has anything to say but lies.
@@fadedrose9 LOL debate him jukey and lets see what happens to you.
@@charliebukowski6652 I'm not running for any office; therefore, no need! Even if I were running, I wouldn't debate him because he's a liar and a bully. Oh, but it's the Right who's refusing to debate ANYONE - right?
If you don't know what your department is doing, YOU'RE FIRED!
DeSantis did it ..... eazy peezy. Dont want to uphold the laws and per the constitution....your fired!!
TED CRUZ WHAT Y'ALL DOING IN AMERICA'S CONGRESS AND SENATE? DO YOU CARE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION TED CRUZ?
A true leader takes responsibility for the actions of those under him. He may fall on his sword, ( which could be literal or maybe should be figurative, considering that if we as taxpayers had acted in a similar manner, would be in jail for the next 1000 years ) .
@@janet5135 He's exposing corruption and holding people accountable.
Yea fire all republicans for being hostile savages.
Good job Ted Cruz 🇺🇸. Shame on Director Wray. This is America 🇺🇸
Thank you, Congressman Cruz, for this information. We are so sick of slimey elitists such as Christopher Wray who uses a bored patronizing tone of voice during such times as this investigation as though he should not be bothered with being accountable.
2:32 Can-Cruz is such a partisan hack. He brings up Obama and Biden inaugurations as if Trump didn't have THE SAME BETSY ROSS FLAGS at his inauguration. But noooo, LYIN' TED can't say daddy's name without his permission. No no he can't.
Cruz is out in 2024
Is he "AWARE" of ANYTHING??? Apparently, he's going to sit there and lie,
YET AGAIN.
Why wouldn't he? He knows there won't be any repercussions.
@@gammasmash1924 💯% 👍🏻
He admitted some things at the end of the interview
Yes yes yes
Wray is incompetent and corrupt!!
"That is astonishing" is the best line in these worthless hearings. It really says it all.
As a Texan, him taking his boot off and slamming on the table showing the flag on the back brought a tear of joy to my eye.
Lies, hypocrisy, ineptness, lawlessness, corruption, deceiving and on and on and on !!
Thank God for TED CRUZ!!! PRISON FOR WRAY!!!

Cruz can drop into the abyss and not be missed. He is a traitor. Takes his family out of the country when his own state was in a crisis. A liar.
Laye night comedians = Thank God for Ted Cruz !
If he doesn't know he has no purpose to be in that position! Too many before Senate say they know nothing. They should be removed from government service.
The intro describes Senator Cruz as a “hard line conservative”. How offensive and shows a lack of non-partisanship. Would the intro for AOC be called a “hard line socialist”?
Totalitarian Communist , there fixed it for you
Well, I mean. He is a hard line conservative. He not a far right extremist but he’s a conservative through and through, but he takes it by the issue, he doesn’t blanket vomit alt right extremist rhetoric at every issue, he uses common sense, moral and rights of the free people in our supposed “republic” called America… so I don’t get your issue?
And This channel puts out pro conservative video clips all the time. It’s kinda like, a right leaning channel . So…. Wait what’s the issue again?
Of course not.
Wray is a political tool...
You know what really gets me is they got FBI director Wray there where the hell is Garland at he should be sitting in that chair answering these damn questions and if he can't provide any damn answers then these are ongoing investigations and I cannot comment about them why are we even funding the FBI should be the next question director Wray is just a lackey nothing more than that for the FBI
He’s busy arresting police officers!
Doing nothing
Ted Cruz hit it out of the park 👍🏻🇺🇸
How come Wray doesn't seem to be aware of ANYTHING! Why is he then, in charge?
Unbelievable, have you noticed, none of these individuals, everytime they're questioned, are never aware of anything?
Same as Biden's spokeperson at all news/press briefings
Plausible deniability.
This whole corrupt democratic political system does nothing but tap dance
Absolutely it's noticed. He's the head of the FBI but claims to not know much about what they do.
IDK, are aware of how many times the people who ask them those questions, never do anything to compel them to answer? Sure hope you are not among the people who believe that just asking questions = doing something.
Defund FBI now!
We have no need of the FBI. We got along fine without them for over 200 years.
The state police in each state can handle most of these matters.
Minimum 50% reduction in FBI work force .
Lmfao
You think We fund any of the intelligence?
Hilarious
*abolish entirely
Board it up, ill help pay for the plywood.
Call them out Ted! It is his job to be familiar with policy so I am sure he has seen these memos. Wray needs to go.
Goodness, we are in real trouble when the FBI is in such a disastrous condition. Thank you Mr Cruz for bringing this out into the open.
reyess12 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. ARE YOU KIDDING?? You must be.
Hahaha get your passport ready for y'alls trip to Cancun this is supposed to be a bad hurricane season!! FO !!!
Director Wray is part of the problem
Sitting on THE FENCE WAY TOOO LONG
The FBI have gone as crazy as Hoover!!.
Yeah Hoover...the guy the Mafia got to admit that the Mafia didn't exist because they evidence of him being gay and a cross dresser!! EPIC!
FBI needs to be completely overhauled. Lots of firings and arrests.
Hell no, the democrats would just corrupt it again , it needs abolished and many need to go to prison and be tried for treason/sedition.
This Wray is an idiot
I have a gut feeling there gonna say there not aware with that 😜😂
Totally!
That's very astonishing. From one district to another district the corruption never ends.
Cruz is brilliant in this format.
Would never vote for him to be President, but he is a great asset in Senate!!
He consulted with Trump on many matters. He would be one of the best presidents ever.
Why wouldn't Senator Ted Cruz make a great President? Just curious
Coleen he has flip flopped and back stabbed a couple of times. I wouldn’t vote for him for president
@@max420thc The atmosphere in DC is toxic.
@@jaycalif8240 I would think he has more power to reveal truth where he is now.....
"I'm not aware..." Standard response from these guys.
ARREST THEM ALL, CHARGE THEM WITH TREASON
Sad how far the Premier law enforcement agency in the World has fallen. Once, a beacon of trust and integrity, now just a political lap dog. And to think 2 of my children had aspirations and abilities, to work there. I supported them fully until I gained specific knowledge of the "ongoings" in a high profile "kidnapping" case in my area. I insisted they rethink their decision and to please work elsewhere. Thank God they listened.
I think it's much worse than that. Just a big criminal racket. Bank accounts should be checked
We need an FBI and judiciary that is compliant our savior and leader - all hail Donald Trump
I know nothing about the FBI's Criminal Counterpart, other than someone must do the dirty work. Lifer Politicians are the problem. FBI wants a new $3.5 billion dollar headquarters in Maryland, "Spy Toys" Spying on the people is an adventure... a file for everyone and everyone in a file while the taxpayer is an extremist for his choice of flag.
TED CRUZ🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯✨
Senator, I really don't know anything that the FBI does. I just run the FBI
Easy on Hoover. He might have been a bit paranoid but he sure wasn't politicized. He went after crooks where he found them. Inside the government or out.
Exactly spot on!
Exactly
TED CRUZ WHAT Y'ALL DOING THERE IN AMERICA'S CONGRESS AND SENATE TED CRUZ?
Y'ALL CARE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION TED CRUZ?
That’s the answer !!!!
Why does Cruz know more of what's going on in the FBI then the director of the FBI?
I lost it when Sen. Cruz whips out his boots and stares into the FBI director lol
This is outrageous totally corrupt
Absolutely love ❤️ senator Ted Cruz. He's a constitutional conservative.
What medication are you own?? People in his own. District was suffering while he and is family abandoned them.. eventually you were not in Houston during this time!!
2:32 Can-Cruz is such a partisan hack. He brings up Obama and Biden inaugurations as if Trump didn't have THE SAME BETSY ROSS FLAGS at his inauguration. But noooo, LYIN' TED can't say daddy's name without his permission. No no he can't.

Amazing how wray just blows everything off we as Americans have more problems here than abroad
You have my vote, Sen. Cruz!
Love Cruz - well spoken bulldog!
He director of the FBI either he’s lying or bad at his job either way he needs to go.
If the Director was the CEO of a private company the Board of Directors would replace him!
How can he lie like he does??? That's treason!!! Raid his house???WE DO NOT TRUST HIM!!!!
What a smug, unremitting liar. When Republicans take back the House they need to GRILL this man and FORCE him to answer
All they have to do is lick this woos up n jail - I’m betting he will sing like a bird!
Nothing will happen
He will probably investigate Cruz for wearing those boots.
Waterboard from the top down
No, they need to shut this corrupt department down and fire everyone at the DOJ and then immediately start impeachment hearings on many, Wray included, Garland , Myorkis , Janet Yellen and last but not least Joe Biden and Kamala
The Constitution is the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. The 1st Amendment is NOT DOMESTIC TERRORISM
The constitution is a threat to democrats and the government
The first amendment is only a right for the
Leftist.
2:32 Can-Cruz is such a partisan hack. He brings up Obama and Biden inaugurations as if Trump didn't have THE SAME BETSY ROSS FLAGS at his inauguration. But noooo, LYIN' TED can't say daddy's name without his permission. No no he can't.

Totally unreal! Our country's gone to hell.
Senator Cruz is one of the few higjly intelligent politicians who stands for justice and fairness and speaks at a high argumentstion level. Most lack the backbone or are just too stipid or corrupt to do so.
Why are the secretaries,directors, etc of the various government entities never made to answer the hard questions? Transparency is a lie.
This is the type of people the biden admin want to hire...who clearly are malicious clearly working for biden the ideals are straight from the biden admin this is the practice of the biden admin they do whatever they want because they do the biden crime familys bidding
Duh!!!
TR SNomis That's simple - because simpletons like Cancun Cruz are asking the stupidest, most ridiculous, over-dramatized questions ever.
Lock them up until they answer the questions.
@@ronhill1908 The wolves are in charge of the henhouse.
Doubt there is anyone with the moral fortitude to combat Goliath.
I don't know who is lying or is truthful.
Are we being played by every media network?
Who can be trusted? I can think of only one entity.
Snakes talk out of both sides of their mouths.
If he was in charge of the Detroit field office that makes him liable. That is what being in charge means.
They never answer any questions from our side.
Always had great respect for the bureau. But under Obama, Hillary Clinton and Biden things have gone rogue. It's truly disappointing.
Look into J. Edgar Hoover.... He was corrupt as can be from the get-go
You forgot Trump because they really dropped the ball on investigating him.
No they didn’t drop the ball on investigating him stupid.
They made up fake allegations of Russian collusion and got illegal warrants to investigate him and everyone around him with. You are nothing but a low life criminal along with every democrat
@@MiracleFound Nope. The ball still in play. That way the swamp doesn't get investigated because Trump investigation (persecution) will never end.
@@forgiven2812 Trump helped to build the swamp, that is the piece that you all are missing. He didn't suddenly just appear in 2015. He has a long history of corruption and avoiding prosecution. He hung out with questionable people and had a lot of accusations about sexual misconduct that he settled outside of court. He was deeply intrenched in politics for decades prior to running for office. His ego made him run and he failed to realize how much scrutiny he would be under when he was elected. I realize that you all wear rose colored glasses when looking at Trump, but if you took them off and really looked, you wouldn't like what you saw.
At least have the balls to say Wray does represent that politicization, because he does.
He's a democrat elitist.
that's how kept his job when biden took over
IT LOOKS MORE CHEFS THAN INDIANS ,,
@@charliebukowski6652 I dont think Wray is a democrat so much as he is a crooked swamp donkey. Almost as many corrupt republicans as democrats in DC.
he a lieing sob
This should have way more exposure.
Wow, Wray COMPLETELY FORGOT about the threats against our Supreme Court Justices!
Ted take the gloves off. Tell the FBI and the DOJ that the day is coming when you wished you had done your job that you were hired to do! The people the the USA won't stand still for it and Congress will not stand for it!! IF YOU DON'T WORK FOR THE PEOPLE OF ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE USA YOU ARE COMMITTING FRAUD AND COULD BE FACING JAIL TIME!
Lock him up.
I can't stand Ted Cruz at all but he absolutely destroyed Wray here.
As you are very well aware Senator, I spend most of my time going to lunch and suggesting criminal plots that we can create and then claim to have halted
To anyone that has been paying attention, none of this should be a surprise.
Nobody’s being held accountable for anything unbelievable
Un-welling to do anything is being involved. Period. He works for the law and safety of our country and should have integrity. Highest valor and being in the chain of command should also show respect for his employees under him by setting an example of always doing the right thing despite who is in office. They are not a Gestapo they have regulations and laws that govern them. If they cannot follow that they need at the very least removed. If not charged. Peace!
I liked how he brought up the Witmer thing, since there's no way Wray could pretend ignorance for that!
C'mon Cruz!! you know that any democrat or liberal is excluded from the political enforcement agency rules for extremism.
2:32 Can-Cruz is such a partisan hack. He brings up Obama and Biden inaugurations as if Trump didn't have THE SAME BETSY ROSS FLAGS at his inauguration. But noooo, LYIN' TED can't say daddy's name without his permission. No no he can't.
Cruz is out in 2024
@@Verick. Its considered the original US Flag by the Original maker/designer of the flag. Democrats and those aligned left wingers believe it to be a sign of extremism. Ted Cruz is pointing out to Wray that Obama and Biden were associated with the Betsy Ross flag yet his organization (the political enforcement agency) isn't calling them extremists.
@@mrrey8937 Christopher Wray was brought on by the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. He is his guy.
@@Verick. yea.......and?? this is a good reason to politically hunt down people for having a Betsy Ross Flag?
So this is all you have? "this is his guy" , not bothered by the illegal political purge through illegal policing??
So many people in this country are just like Wray.
"I'm just dumb, so you have to excuse me for my actions."
Never Responsible for their own actions.
You've got that right!!!
He's no dummy. He knows exactly what he's doing.
@@gammasmash1924 I've been hoping he's part of the plan, and this would fit, since the sheeple think it's normal behavior.
Cathi Walker It would appear that "so many ppl in this country," just like YOU come under the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Go look it up, and then you can make a similar claim: "I'm dumb, but I don't know it, so I'm going to call everyone else dumb, and that makes me look like I know everything."
Cathi Walker Ummmm, it's the other way around; you're all suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect; thus, you think you're all right and everyone else in the country are all wrong. Sorry A**.
They need a major house cleaning starting with all the top management being fired and replaced by non associates !
My beloved brother busted out the boot!
Geez man our country is going wayward…
I read somewhere that if President Trump is re-elected he will clean house at the DOJ, the FBI, and the intelligence community.
I think that action is WAY past due! These depts are totally out of control.
Please God Protect Our Country is Going in the wrong direction with few Politician and is bad 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
@@myriamquinones8432 Amen!
Trump appointed Wray. Let's just keep that in mind.
Wray was appointed by Trump. And this appointment, along with some others, has been a complete and total disappointment
disband the ATF at the same time.
If he doesn't know the answer or won't give the answer he is at least negligent if not complicit.
Sack him.
Defund the FBI and use the money to boost the police
These departments would be more than defunded if I had anything to do with it. They would be burned to the ground and salt poured on the ashes so nothing every grew back in its place
@@max420thc I agree. I was just trying to be censor-proof 😀
Mr Wray is A Very Smart Director of The F.B.I. Do not tell them How You get Your Information.Just Continue To Do Your Job To The Best Of Your Ability.Thank You Mr Wray.
Defund the federal government and let taxpayers fund their local police, schools, etc.
@@jpechacek80 Agreed! And don't force the taxpayers to fund their local police, schools, etc. Let the taxpayers decide! If a local school is forcing kids to learn CRT or protecting groomers, then the taxpayers should decide to cut funding to that school. Same with police departments! If the police are doing *ACTUAL* corrupt and crooked shit (George Floyd's case or the shit BLM whines about doesn't count) then the taxpayers should have the right to not fund them!
Same with the government! Us taxpayers should hold the power over them.

“When the people fear the government, that's tyranny; when the government fears the people, that's freedom.”

If any of you see a person or group of people in your area wearing clothing that has the letters: FBI on them, call your local police. They may be up to nefarious activity.
How the HELL has Christopher Wray NEVER BEEN on “Dancing With the Stars”??? If you watch ALL of his videos…that’s ALL BE DOES is dance around ALL of the questions.
Very oddly, Wray seems to be completely clueless as to what's going on within the FBI
Beacuse it so criminal he'd get life in prison or worse
I think we all know who the extremists are !!
Bravo Senator Cruz🙏🇺🇸
Wray should be forced to answer questions directly,
or be marched off to the cells, until he changes his mind.
These hearings are completely toothless.
"...I'm not familiar wth, ...I'm not going to comment on..." The canned responses to any objective questions asked, to avoid any accountability.
Evasions are answers sometimes..
Career guys like this know which way the political wind is blowing , and adjust thier sails accordingly..
Evasions like this only prove that they're playing the Unaccountable game..
The Freudian slip "We make great pains" was just too good.
Parents have EVERY RIGHT to speak for their children in every venue. We are responsible for our kids well being.
What a confrontation
He's trying to run out the time allotted to Mr. Cruz
Wray looks like he just woke up from a late night coke binge
The boot move was awesome. Lol
No blm antifa were arrested but man 6 man standing on stair got 7 years, disgusting
Will we hear Dir. Wray give any straight answers without his biased remarks ?
Nope never have and never will
The feds have flipped
Ofcourse he knows everything
Don't think for a moment he does not. Sad for honorable agents that want to do what's right.
Going after mom's dad's serious stuff !!
It's to the point where Congress must remove "guest chairs" to make room for (waterboard apparatus) then we could get some answers🤣🤣🤣
Having been a Bureau employee, having the highest respect for what it is intended to represent. I find myself disillusioned.
F) fidelity, B) bravery, and I) integrity seems to have gone by the wayside. This has total destroyed that belief. There needs to be a revamping from top to bottom. May God save our sorry butts for us allowing this to happen.
The government needs to be dismantled , they are power drunk and run amok , nothing but scum worthy of every Americans contempt
Trump's presidency exposed the swamp for what it is. Complete, total corruption.
And He has
Thank You for your comment. I can see you were from the old school FBI i 2 i'm from the old school. The way life should be.
@laurice Tatum - FBI and therefore you specifically for always a criminal organization. Did you do any research into what the FBI did Martin Luther King Jr.?
Wreck Wray 🤯
Chris Wray has been asked hundreds of questions in online interviews with Senators. He speaks, but he never answers--why is he getting a paycheck?
Senator Cruz whatever he’s stating is so factual, it’s pathetic he is so right on target.
No wonder nothing changes when bad actions are freaking rewarded!!!
Ray is fidgeting! Very nervous gesture. Wonder why. Looks like a guilty conscience to me.
Wray seems to know very little about things that are happening in the FBI
And he is the director? Shame of him!!!!!
This is not acceptable at all ! These are treasonous actions !
To our faces. Only people who fear no recourse can lie knowin there is no answering for there lies. Out of control..
Ted Cruz really cuts through the swampy water ! Smart man
Hold those Sumbitches Accountable. Thank you Mr. Cruz!
These representatives always have “get out of jail free cards” in the answers, they must be prepped by their lawyers when they are summoned to oversight committees. These sessions become pointless as nothing meaningful is really achieved
Notice all the agency heads never know wtf is going in their department
Thank you good Sir! Somebody needs to let this fool know his time is coming.
Hmmm… first he wasn’t aware of any parents being talked to. Now he acknowledges a small group? Wray is such a snake. When Trump is back in The White House, Wray needs to go! Dismantle the FBI!
Any government employees above a certain rank should be required to waive in writing, all privacy protections upon their record or any contemporaneous or future HR actions and investigations.
Yea I thought about the same thing,I think that is fair and just considering millions of lives that could be at stake
