Hawley is speaking for America!
The tone in his voice wow I love it..
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah - speaking. He won't DO shit. He'll just diarrhea mouth. If the republicans had taken charge of the Senate, not a damned thing would have changed.
And bless him for it.!
Wish we had Hawley in NJ!!
That's my Senator and I could not be more proud of him!! Thank you Josh!!
My man! That little dig at the end was priceless.
Hawley is a human wrecking ball. I dig this guy.
Well said!
He needs to be the next US Attorney General.
@@patrickc3419 that would be awesome!
We Missourians Are Blessed to have him .
For Sure 💣 ❣️❣️❣️
Senator Hawley is my hero! He is fierce and spot on! Wray is a disgrace.
Republicans are all pussies. All talk no action.
@@ryanshiver9044 not all. Just the Rinos.
trump got very bad advice when he put biden family friend christopher wray in charge of corrupt FBI
@@gigifergus Hawley, Kennedy, Cruz, all big talkers, all do nothing to stop anything or even be remotely conservative. Now theres even gays on the right. Cmon, its all bullshit.
@@ryanshiver9044 regardless of conservative or liberal, Hawley did a great job in questioning Wray.
Not a single word that comes out of Wrays mouth can be believed.
And I, as a taxpaying citizen want to see his paid receipts for his "vacation Gulfstream" jet!! This garbage has got to stop fleecing the taxpayers!!!
Just as his "bro in arms" . That little SNARK. MAYO!!
Not a one.I believe he is a snake
He's a spy chief. 😅
Thank you Josh Hawley!!! You had restored some faith in me. Hold him accountable!!!
I could listen to Josh Hawley all day. But those last two minutes: Pure satisfaction
Un fortunately nothing ever follows from these hearings ...
He needs to be held accountable for this corruption. What a disgrace of a man.
Correction. He is not "a man", he is a Democrat--big difference!!
@@larrygrassinger2819 He was probably wearing his wife's underwear during the entire hearing.
You can that again.
Your 100% Right the Gloves need to come off now!!!!
Agree
Senator Hawley.....WOW you totally rock sir!!!!! We need more courageous men like you!!!
I’m so proud to have voted for him 🇺🇸
We also have Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
@@LC_from_MO Lucky you have him. I've got Romney!!! :(
@@bikerider5296 True story. Another proud vocal American!!!
Well done Josh Hawley, your ending statement to Wray was classic and its about time he heard it!
We need so many more Josh Hawleys....badass..
We would have more if it weren't for our libtard relatives and neighbors who bury their heads in the sand when clips like this come along.
Not
God bless Senator Hawley.
@@FrenchTownFAMU You're clearly broken and a wee bit disturbed. So sorry it happened to you, whatever it was.
Hawley is a lethal Patriot!!! I had to watch this twice. :>)
Please stop embarrassing yourself lol
And where is the rest of the video?
Me too!
Just for the part "do you think you are still up to the job?"
Me too
Thank you Josh for showing us how corrupt is our FBI director.
Josh Hawley really nailed him at the end of this discussion!
The FBI needs overhauled.
I'm not interested in dissecting his career; but J. Edgar Hoover told
FDR that the FBI could monitor and contain any U.S./Japanese
subversion during WWII. That mass-internment was unwarranted.
For all the miscreant lies that originated only
after he could no longer defend himself, Hoover was incredibly prescient
and distinguished in his advice regarding Japanese-Americans.
fbi needs to be done away with .providing no useful benefit .
The entire justice department needs to be tore down and rebuilt.
More like disbanded
Disbanded!!!! And save us money
This FBI Director is a disgrace! He needs to go and if FBI doesn't clean up their act should be time to abolish the agency
We have Federal Marshalls after all. This scumbag Director makes my blood boil with that smirk and attitude he has 😡
Exactly !
@@dugmandug2325 Hawley--good runner!!LOL--not listening just NASTY
👍
Humiliated for the world to see really no other way to put it.
Feel sorry for his family and the shame they have to endure.
A true enemy to this country.
So shameful he is. But democrat operative is think skinned? 🤔
@@ckayya7179 some harden so much they end up in the garbage can of heaven itself hell
Yes exactly what josh Hawley is an embarrasment to this country;
@@robdog7915 How is Josh Hawley an embarrassment, I'll wait.
@@TBguitar I'll answer---your partners in the
foxhole need you...enemy is approaching ..mmmm less than 75 yards away....do you run-away?or do you stay in the foxhole and fight and try to save as many as you can?....what are you doing to save your partners?..or do you run like a coward; And then have the gall to question anyone on govt. safety--when you had a chance to make sure others where safe;,,,
Just shows how much he cares about his job
Wray is an appalling civil SERVANT. He left a meeting with a Congressional committee in which he was supposed to answer questions for his own personal vacation! What?!
The FBI has a problem: Christopher Wray and his fellow heads need to roll. I'm glad some of the agents have stepped up as whistleblowers. I'm also VERY glad to see a member of Congress hold this man's feet to the fire. Don't let up!
The RINO’s advising Trump foisted him with garbage humans such as Wray, Pence,and the AG, etc.
@@warrenstanford7240 So says a DNC Cult Groupie.
Frankly, more FBI whistleblowers need to step up if this clown remains Director.
@@FrenchTownFAMU Who ran like a sissy? What do female body parts have to do with this discussion? I think you're in the wrong thread.
I'll be happy when these dirt bags are behind bars where they belong.
This gives me hope that someone is actually fighting for us.
WE can only hope. Republicans need to inherit some of the democrat's spirit, which is SHOW NO MERCY. President Trump is INNOCENT, and they show no mercy at all and never let up on their FAKE CRIMES against him. Democrat political SERPENTS are GUILTY AS HELL, and they just keep skating down the road. Time for republicans to give democrat politician's a taste of their own wicked evil NASTY MEDICINE and SHOW NO FREAKING MERCY WHATSOEVER ANYMORE.
I would agree if Hawley could have just fired the rat and had it locked up right then and there. Until that can happen it's all just grandstanding at best. These hacks just go right back to the extensive damage they always do to the people and country. Day after day, year after year.
@@standupamerica5707 your response shakes me a little. I worry we have already sunk our ship. I believe in diversity my self. But the constitution has been perveted.
I would say :You need to leave , take your stuff and never return to Washington......NOW !
Exactly. I would love it if he ran for president!
If I believe I am untouchable and better than everyone, I would act like the director does. Showing no shame in what should be a humiliating moment.
Sociopaths feel no shame.
Rino Mitt Romney slopping off 😂😂 what a great moment Mr Hawley, thank you.
Freaking LOVE Sen. Hawley!
Great job Hawley !!!!
Terri LaDow AKA SERGEY ALEKSANDROVICH MORGACHEV of Unit 74455. I doubt you care so much, or your opinion of your own agent in Congress would be good for our lovely nation.
Great stuff if I ever get into problems ... I want Hawley on my side haha👍
I wish I could be this bad at my job and never have to worry about being fired
😂😂😂😂
LIke Donald Trump.
@@walterorlowski4808 So you're saying what then, that you're a groomer? Well okay then. At least you can admit it. I figure if you support the party of pedophilia, it just stands to reason... I mean two and two do still make four, right.
@@walterorlowski4808 You mean when people could buy a home or car? Afford gas, bills, and food? What the hell do you do for a living?
@@walterorlowski4808 I didn’t know he was still President.
Hawley bringing it! This is how a boss talks to their subordinates when they have been caught stealing or evading their work responsibilities. It's about time the Representatives we elected start holding their unelected subordinates accountable. It's refreshing to see
America needs more like Hawley, Cruz and Jordan. It’s unfortunate they can only ask questions. Someone needs to be held accountable.
Top management of the FBI needs to be removed and charged for their sex crimes or coverup of them
Including the Hunter Biden Laptop Crimes they ignored. Wonder what happened to those girls.
They need to be also charged for the lies propagated against trump and there role in trying to bring him down and those in the DOJ the same along with Brennan and clapper .
Fire the FBI,BIDEN,HARRIS, OBAMA.
Yes exactly
I think Senator Hawley would be a great choice for VP for Prez Trump.
He doesn't like President Trump. Nuts, l know.
Or Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Jim Jordan, Candace Owens, MTG , and many other patriots who actually love this country. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💗
@@mssweetlisa You forgot the gorgeous and very capable Kristi Noem.
@@karenmandel4547 ah....where did you hear that? He is my senator and I am pretty sure those words never came from him.
@@mssweetlisa Well not Candace O. Not a good combination.
How this county is 50/50 is disgracefully! No one ever goes to jail or even losses their pensions.
Would Wray be
surprised to know...
he's a freaking liar?🤣
He lies so much that It is second nature with him.
He is a Dou.ch!
Barb, he,ll be surprised he's of the homosapien race! He dislikes the very idea of sucking in the same air!
He is a demon-rat, they all preformed their duties very well.
🤣
@@JnWmMatt Ollie
As a Missourian, I’m so proud to have Senator Hawley representing us.
I need to move to MO…ILLinois sucks
Yes. im sure you are proud of him encouraging the rioters to storm the capitol and kill mike pence.
You have a great senator and you every reason to be proud. Preserve this man well.
Me too!
Good JOB SEN HAWLEY GOR EXPOSING CORRUPT FBI
Thank goodness for individuals like Hawley in Congress... I really think he has the American people as his focal point 👍👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Josh Hawley is one of very few politicians doing a great job on behalf of us Americans.
He really grills until it is WELL DONE.
😅😅
To what end? Nothing will change. The FBI director will face zero consequences. Hawley gets his viral moment to use for his reelection campaign ads and it’s business as usual.
This is all political theater, NO ONE will be held accountable.
Perfectly said. He needs to be fired thou
Can he simply be arrested and locked up...please
You can live in hope but there's more chance of Hawley being framed by the FBI & imprisoned.
Same cell as Pelosi 🤞🤞
@@adamhartley3482 It's really a shame that could be a possibility.
@@edfarmer2613 but it's becoming a likeness in a lot of western idealised countries.
Government has introduced more power to irradicate the opposition to their views and agendas by an opposition party.
This is going to leave a mark.
My question to Director Wray would be, who scheduled your vacation ? Was that person aware of the congressional oversight meetings ? When I was working for 40+ years, my work came ahead of vacations and holidays !
Well done, Senator Hawley! We need more senators like him!
YA OK, so he exposed this dirt bag. Now what happens????
Nothing as usual!
Wray takes a private plane to go on vacation. That plane could have easily taken off one hour later and he could have stayed for the extra 21 minutes to answer questions. The arrogance of these people is unbelievable.
true and if his plane crashed he would face his real judge and liars go to the fire ,not harps and angels
The time was agreed upon BEFORE the meeting. There was no reason to go over the same questions 8×. Josh Hawley is being a big baby.
If I had a planned vacation. I wouldn't hold up my personal time off for anyone and truthfully you wouldn't either! So Director Wray was out of there. Just like anyone else would have been.
R Vandy yes, and indefensible! Hawley is sharp, truthful and a man of courage.
Wray has contempt for Congress and it shows -
@@jillgross6232 it’s not like he was going to miss his flight. He has a private plane that he is required to use. He is required to use the government plane because his department made the rules to benefit them. Can’t accommodate Hawkeye & co. for 20+ minutes? Priorities.
Without out accountability, these hearings are a waste of time and money. People need to be fired, and pensions revoked for starters.
The problem is that because of what director wray is doing is why he's been in this position so long. Hes following the lead like a good puppet. Dude was making his way up the ranks during the demolition on 9/11
yes it was a demolition that's true , nice to see your informed.
@@willscheck8072 Pbd channel had an architect on his show who made a documentary with over 100 architects proving that the world trade center was in fact demolished. It crumbled in on itself in a way that only happens in a demolition. Skyscrapers have been built to withstand impact from an airplane since world War 2. If a building gets hit by a plane it falls too the side. A 100+ floor skyscraper with over 100 floors of concrete over an acre big plus all of the steel beams turned into 2 stories of rubble. And they want us to think that caused building 7 to collapse even though it was never hit? Ill link the podcast in another comment so (we) can get over our ignorance.
@@willscheck8072 czcams.com/video/xWi0x9xigQM/video.html
@@mattcolin2963 thanks brother I spent a year watching everything I could get my hands on . including the 100 architects and many more thanks again.
@@willscheck8072 🤜🤛 maybe one day we will see justice..
I'm doubtful its gonna happen thru politicians. Gotta get more folks to question the narrative.
Had to get my vacation in before I get fired and go to prison the rest of my life...PLEASE FORGIVE ME SENATOR HAWLEY
SADLY...NEVER HAPPEN, MOST TREASONOUS GOVERNMENT IN US HISTORY, MAKES NIXON LOOK LIKE A SAINT!!!
Probably fairly close to the truth 😆 🤣 😂
Wray wanted to ditch that hearing because he wanted to be out of Dodge because he knew they were about to raid Maralago.
Senator Hawley is a ROCK STAR!
Thank God for someone who can finally call the behavior of these representatives of the American citizens what it is!
Shocking!
Disrespectful!
Wrong!
Rude!
Dangerous!
Illegal!
Thank you, Senator Hawley, for speaking up!
WOW what did I just see? OMG that was compelling AF!
Based on 450 annual owner-operated hours and $7.00-per-gallon fuel cost, the GULFSTREAM G550 has total variable costs of $2,453,400.00, total fixed costs of $1,011,522.00, and an annual budget of $3,464,922.00. This breaks down to $7,699.83 per hour.
So if Wray flew 4 hours reach his vacation spot Round Trip then he would be spending $30,799.23 for that trip.
His Salary is
May 9, 2022 - The estimated total pay for a Director at Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is $184,500 per year.
And he spent 30K for a flight home? Yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!
They only pay the commercial rate of an airplane ticket not the operating cost
Must be nice
Exactly! Excellent breakdown of costs... and the sham of government officials paying out of pocket for this.
thats only the pay you see officially. its in the millions with under the table payments that nobody, not even the senate dares to question.
And he really dodged the question when he was asked by US Senator on Oversight Committee to provide actual PROOF of his out of pocket payments for use of that Gulfstream jet for his family vacation. This is nothing but misuse and abuse of taxpayers and taxpayer dollars. Show the proof Wray! And I bet he can't because odds are he did not foot the bill 😡 Infuriates me how a civil servant gets away with this CRAP!
@Boris slavonovitche English much, must be a 🤖
Senator Hawley!!!
I was watching this with a big pleasure.Thank you.
Here is an perfect example about how this FBI Director moves around while trying to figure out what new lie he can manufacture. Senator Josh Hawley, you are a true hero in my book, because you are concise and know the facts! Thank
you for representing our once wonderful country! Please keep up the outstanding questions!
Josh Hawley went beast mode on Wray.
Senator Harley knows how to set the record strait, thank God!
This is the government our founders warned us about. The greatest threat to an honest citizen's freedom and liberty is an agent of the government. In this case, an FBI agent.
It's been going on for 20 yrs and the FBI is in partnership with the Demos. Now you know why the DOJ and FBI keep targeting Trump. 3rs time as of this week.
What are you afraid of. If you follow the law, THE FBI isn't anything to worry about. What have you done to worry about the FBI at your door!
@@jillgross6232 Good one man. I needed some humor. Good one.
Yeah, the FBI needs to know they are now PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE.
Oh the irony in that, Mr. hoover!!
@@jillgross6232 it’s fear mongering. I don’t like the FBI and yes they do scare me and make me think I have done something wrong even when I haven’t. It creates stress and anxiety unnecessarily. Adding to that fact, it’s a corrupt and shady business that’s been involved with tons of conspiracy deaths involving great leaders. So the real question is, what’s there not to be afraid of?
This FBI director is evil. He needs to be removed from the office of director immediately!
Thank you Senator Hawley for protecting us, specially the Father that was arrested in front of his family, while FBI director was on vacation.
It's good he's calling him out but it's not the first time and it seems to for nothing since nothing has changed
Hang on... Hawley is the guy that cheered on the Jan 6 insurrectionists... then was later seen fleeing out of the capitol? This is the guy that you think is "protecting us"?
Protecting us lmao
Keep in mind this Director is a registered republican and was appointed by a republican administration. The only reason Forbes is involved is because his actions against a non-elected official doesn't support the Trump and alt-right lies.
Oh my gosh, what a Josh. I think he's now on toplist of FBI investigation (by Wrey). He made FBI director be sweating blood. Thanks Josh.
He’s so brave 🇺🇸
Yeah he better watch his back
Wow that was an amazing rebuke of Wray
“Mr Wray, have you no decency?”
Congress must do something about this corrupt FBI director !!!
There all corrupt even Hawley so don't be praising him
It's all talk. Until these perps are held accountable for their deeds it will continue uninterrupted.
Wish we had a full senate like Josh Hawley! This is the way a senate interview needs to be conducted. Bravo
Exactly
Isn't this hero and cheer leader Hawley the one who was running away from the mob, like a mouse on Jan.6?
@@raahi8581 the video shows "all" of congress members "running" away. AOC said she was assaulted, but was 3 miles away in a hotel room. Next question
@@ronedee Yeah, why was he running from the crowd he was cheering on earlier? The other members were running too but they did not incite them like Hawley was seen doing. For heaven's sake he was part of the lawmakers; part of the Government. Why was he inciting a mob? And if he did he should have faced them like a man.
@@raahi8581 If that's the best you have on Hawley, look at your own bunch of idiots for worse bullshit! AOC being just one small part.
Josh laughing at Wray's clownish Lies was EPIC
Lying to Congress is a crime
Hawley is great!! Keep him close to the future Whitehouse opening!!
"josh"...big scissy...capitol running scary cat...yea he was running like a circus clown Jan 6th;
@@robdog7915 nothing happened Jan 6 to run from. Bunch of liberal plants acting tough. Libs ain't nothing to be scared of
@@joem1102 So why was Hawley running like a little school girl?Did you see the tape?
Thank you Sen. Harley for being a great fighter, Americans need you🇺🇸
You gatta love Josh Hawley.
PLEASE get those still imprisoned for the Jan 6 ‘open house’ a fair hearing and release!
Hawley is at his best in these oversight hearings, his legal training makes him so effective....
Because with all of that legal training have yielded with zero indictments. When will people realize all this smoke is pointless!
FANTASTIC..BRAVO SENATOR
As a Missouri resident I am proud of Josh Hawley.
You should. He is a great man.
Sad part is…he’ll NEVER be held accountable. Two tiered justice system. And he knows it.
The sadder part is that Trump is the one who chose that slimy swamp creature to be FBI Director in the first place.
Hence his condescending smirk
That's why he never stops smirking. He's kind of in on the joke. Hawley gets to play bad ass and he gets to play clown and everyone thinks we're running a democracy. It's all just punch and judy. Meanwhile the federal reserve and CFR run the country.
Love Hawley's demeanor here. I was laughing the entire time. The contempt is literally dripping form his chin.
This was beautiful! Great job senator Hawley
Maybe the FBI Director wouldn’t be running off so quickly if all that was available to him was a Piper Cub.
If he's required then how does he pay? LETS SEE THE RECEIPTS!!!
Hell yeah. I have to show receipts at Wal-Mart!
@Charles Tingler 20 bucks?
He's a taxpayer and it's paid through tax dollars. But he's a lawyer and will not tell you that. He makes it appear like he's shelling out his own pre taxed dollars to pay for it.
@@misterwallace3479 exactly. Like hes some lowly public servant
He will show some receipts alright. $25 for fuel; $50 for pilot time; $100 for staff time. No way he pays full freight for a G550. That's millionaire money. Or he ties some meeting at a local field office for 5 minutes to shake hands and then it's an 'official trip'.
Wray sounded like he was explaining to his father why he skipped school.
😂
And making it sound like he had every right to skip school because it was, after all, a holiday, National Ice Cream Day, and he used the school bus to get away.
Now THAT was a grilling!!
Hahaha. Good analogy.
Yes he did! Like a little puppy with his tail between its legs!
Damn... That senator Hawley's a savage.
I for one am thankful for him. 🇺🇸
Sen. Josh Hawley is a national treasure.
Wray has perfectly shown me what is shameless.
Easy enough for an FBI aircraft crew to refile the FAA flight plan. VALID CONCERN!
I love it 😍 handled perfectly
Wray should go on permanent vacation to the very place he put Jan 6th people
YES !!!!! In a old cesna.....
Amen !
You Go Josh 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is an excellent hearing! Thank you Senator Grills!
Heart of Kentucky. Sock it to 'em Josh Hawley. Katie.
Josh Hawley is laying in to Christopher Wray. I Love It! Dismantle the FBI!
Now that is what we should expect from all Senators on both sides of the aisle but at least from the R's.
Well prepared questioning very impressive I like that.
They do this crap because no one kicks them in the balls when they do. Absolutely contemptible.
Which people doing which crap? The FbI's crap..or these pointless hearings that yield in zero indictments crap?
@@bennyb44875 Both probably. Let's face it, the Deep State is too deep, and the swamp too widespread.
I'll kick Wray in the balls if nobody else will.
@@bennyb44875 pointless hearings I assume
@@tenthousandtoads Its remarkable when I look around the room of "tribal" politics how a group of people can be so easily swayed by the tonic salesman called congress. Hearings are bad, a waste of money....then they are necessary and the American people deserve the truth. The same people that thought the Russian collusion hearing were baseless are the same ones that thought the blow job hearings were saving America
.
That was a kick in the teeth by Senator Hawley. God bless him!
He's brilliant
The sad thing is that Wray really isn't bothered by any of this grilling. After all, laws don't apply to him.
For all the people that are 'unaware' , Director Wray would have an 'expense account'. If he DID pay the government for the private use of the jet, he would be compensated back by the same government on his expense account !
Someone has a little egg on their face.
Wray left for vacation on Thursday August 4, then raided Mar a Lago on the 8th- bet he had a great vacation.
Great Observation THANK you for Reminding us............💯
Thats funny Biden went on Vacation that same week????
Great thought
IMO, "RLEE BERT",
HE (WRAY) WAS NOT
THERE FOR THE RAID ;
JUST OTHER MEMBERS OF THE
DEMOCRAT GESTAPO
GENIUS !
Thank you Hawley and every congressional member addressing this.
Do not fire him. Please put him behind bars were belongs!!
Sen. Hawley just bopped him right on the nose, blinking back in disbelief.
WOW!!! What a powerful individual is Sen. Hawley. I see in him a bright future in America's politic.....even the presidency or VP of USA in the near future. These are the leaders we need to clean up the Washington swamp.
Not as long as states use mail-in voting or voting machines with Dominion software.
Hooray for Sen. Josh Hawley! The attitude & actions of Wray show that he thinks he can thumb his nose at answering to the American people.
For Director Wray to state "he must fly on a jet owned by the FBI" is totally ridiculous ! I would challenge Wray to produce a document stating that policy !
That was absolutely great!!
