God damn, Ted Cruz wiped the floor with him..
HAHAHAHA😂😂😂😂😂 YEAH WHATEVER, HE'S JUST A CLOWN!!!!!!!
Man is incapable of doing his job, he should be fired. Period.
He's doing what his BOSS aka Joe Biden tells him to do. So, technically he's doing his job well. Trump 2024!
He always says the same things. NEVER ANSWERS THE QUESTION!!! GET RID OF HIM NOW!!!😢
OMG, Ted literally 🔥🔥🔥 torched this fraud. Cruz went scorched earth, and I ❤❤❤ IT. This is what we need don't let up Senator Cruz you sir have earned my respect.
❤ it!!!!!
Ted Cruz didn't just torch him, he neutered this little cue ball
Well...figuratively. I think it's been illegal to literally torch people for a couple hundred years.
Lost mine.
@@myopinion8551 Truth Hurts 🫶👍
In over 2 years, I've never seen a Biden Admin nominee, or witness EVER ANSWER A SINGLE QUESTION!?!?!?
Yet for four years during the trump debacle, it completely escaped your attention, trump puppet?
Texans hate ted cruze and I live here, he'll be voted out very soon.
Clintons either
@Steadman_Walking trust me pal, you do not speak for Texans! You're just a bigot hating on an elected Latino Senator. What you're saying is, that you support Mayorkis and Biden. Good luck with that.
Right! Because they will incriminate them selves if they speak the truth!
They should do be given a Yes or No button and no microphone.
Absolutely !!!
😂 .. smart ...
@user-ro8ie4ni9lThe know exactly what they are doing and that is the worst part.
Yes! What an idea! I love it. Wow. I am enjoying the video thought that just popped into my head: Yes and No buttons installed at each microphone. Ted asks, "This is a Yes or No question, do you consider..." and rather than Mayorkas pressing one of the buttons, he begins speaking into the microphone. But it is dead. We don't hear anything. Being in the same room, Mayorkas might not yet know the situation. Ted cuts him off and moves to the next one. "This is a Yes/No question Mayorkas. How many murders have there been..." and once again Mayorkas begins speaking to a dead mic. We laugh out loud, many in the room smile or even snicker. Ted moves on, and at the next question, when we are all beginning to learn lip reading because Mayorkas keeps saying the same thing over and over, Ted finally cuts him off and kindly explains that to eliminate philibustering, they have installed the YES/NO buttons, and when any questioner says "This is a yes/no question" it means that the microphone is OFF so do not attempt to say anything as your replacement response for the intended Yes/No.
I would LOVE to see your idea invoked!!! It would make the person being questioned look like an idiot to simply be looking left and right after every question without pressing Yes or No. I did notice that Ted would listen on certain questions just in case Mayorkas was going to say a very short answer and actually answer the question with an affirmation instead of YES, but the moment Ted hears him get to a certain point in his word-spewing, he talks over him and moves on - very respectable strategy of Ted.
Could someone PLEASE explain to Mayorkas what the simple words YES and NO mean!!!!!
hes not allowed by his master
He knows he's covering bidens back.
Revolting behaviour from a revolting man 😡😡😡
Jackie Barlow
Can’t say it better than that.
no backbone cruz !LOl
Ted is a fake . For a man to talk s*** he can't even represent his own family.
This is "precisely" we need to remove these traitors from their positions.
I don’t think you know how to use quotations.
Cruz: 'Your refusal to do your job is revolting'. What a come back!
Mayorkas is a a member of la raza and is a 5th column
Yes it was, I was like 👀
Cruz has always done his job. He is a hardworking senator. Honest too.🙃🙃🙃🙃
Your doing a great job Sen. Cruz. From an Army Vet. from Waco, Tx. 🇺🇲
Damn that was crazy. I am getting a little bit more involved as an American Citizen. Enough is Enough
Agot@way! Mark....Set....GO!
Gotta catch them all!(that is the Pokemon Slogan).
Holy shit, that was amazing! Not a big fan of Ted Cruz, but the ass whooping he just handed Mayorkas is incredible.
I agree , and no-one is perfect , Cruz thou is an asset when it comes to questioning and pushing the obvious. As a President I could not trust the man due to his donors.
Cruz is a great proponent for the constitution and for the safety of the country.
Not a fan either...but this arrogant fk got his ass handed to him
Cruz gets in the matter. Would like him more if there was a firing or prosecution of M.
I would like Ted to be a Supreme Court Justice.
I've never seen Senator Cruz so truly emotionally charged!! For good reason though!👍🏽👍🏽
Yeep, Remember Cancún??
@ABEL 1 oh for f sake. The man had scheduled a vacation for him and his family. Unfortunately it coincided with an unexpectedly bad weather event.
He came back as soon as he could, and it's not like him being out of the state caused it.
Now Butipeg being absent from his post as transport secretary or whatever the title for several months and not doing his job is a much mor worthy target of scorn.
@@corran950
KEEP WATCHING FOX FAKE NEWS!!
Jesus Christ it literally gave me chills. The fact that Mayorkas didn't even know what the wristbands even meant is astonishing to me. The sad thing is, most of the people allowing open borders think they're helping people. In reality, it creates a business for the cartels to push their drugs and child slavery into & from the US. They need to have someone go in on the inside to really show what this bored crisis really looks like & just show how horrible these cartels really are.
The Republicans have lit a fire. They are just getting started. The heat will increase.
Your refusal to do YOUR job is revolting!! Exactly Senator Cruz❤
Love you Senator Teddy Cruz!❤..i wish he was Vice president! Cruz is super smart!
Nail him Cruz. The man can’t answer a single question with a yes or no.
Funny due to the fact Ted Cruz answers questions just as Mavorkas does in this video to multiple other questions regarding numerous issues. Agree Mavorkas needs to be held accountable but same for Ted Cruz.
@@rickrivera9163 except Ted doesn’t beat around the bush and answers the question.
He wiped the floor with him
He wiped the floor with mr clean.

😂 this deserves more likes
We never see this on mainstream media!
I agree 100% w Cruz !!!
And yet, there is never any accountability or justice...Disgraceful.
No accountability but it's nice to see one of these people being shut down instead of allowed to filibuster.
@@jdriii8570exactly…all a show red and blue….STAYLOCKED_STAYLOADED

He's a piece of something...
He's a real piece of something, but that's an extreme insult to pieces of something on the bottom of shoes all over the world. Shame on you!
He is an evil SOB
He and a lot of other criminal career politicians should be locked up for terrorism... global and domestic. It is disgusting how many get away with this.
This is one of the best videos of all time
Ted Cruz is a wonderful American. Thank you Ted Cruz for getting the truth out there.
“MayJERKus around “ needs to be GONE !!!
Ruff 😳
Cruz is so passionate. He’s smart and he doesn’t take any sh!t. We need more like him. Many more.
This conversation is why lawyers shouldn’t be allowed to be in politics. 😂
teds a name brand lawyer...GLAD WE HAVE HIM!!
"Your refusal to do your job is revolting" PERFECT. Couldn't explain it any better.
This can’t be incompetence anymore . This is intentional. - Sen. Kennedy.
It's always been intentional. Why do you think they rigged the 2020 election and even some of the midterms lol?
It has to be intentional.
Absolutely!
That's why he hasn't been fired or removed by this admin, because he's doing exactly what they tell him. It's 100% intentional
@@brendad3570 Cloward Pivan strategy .
Make him answer YES OR NO PERIOD. Other wise Charge him with CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS.
Or let him answer so we have something to talk about other than what Cruz thinks. Was it ever a question on what Cruz thought? Big surprise that instead of governing he decides to politic instead.
@@theaccelerateddragon2017 Yes or NO Question. He would not answer Yes or No. But for line On BS.
@@kevinvojta692 Is there a crisis on the border? Needs a bit more information. A tulip crisis? A girl scout cookie crisis? I understand that the Right like to steamroll through conversation instead of having a back and forth but, that is how we find out if we are having the same conversation or not. Now we will never hear what answer would have been given. If we were allowed to heat that, we could have had a conversation about if he was lying or not, on what he actually said instead of Ted just ranting.
I was born and raised in Texas about 7 miles from the border and this just pisses me off. Our borders need to be protected PERIOD. This piece of work needs to go.
“This is exactly waaaaaï “
Jesus Christ, just say YES or NO ! It’s not that hard
JC.....is Lord! And I agree .... the puppet can't even give the true answer... which everyone knows....
Dude sounds like a fucking robot
its either ego or defensiveness to become so robotic and rigid, both of which are a good case for someone resigning. cruz is right here i think
It is for him.
Impeachment
We the PEOPLE DEMAND SAFETY
that won't happen. the Republicrats are all talk. When the Demopublicans said they would impeach Trump, they did it.....twice. they didn't just threaten it. Mayorkas and Garland should both be impeached, but they aren't even in fear of being censured, let alone impeached. They and the entire Executive Branch acts with Impunity because there is no political will to do anything other than pander to the voting base for sound bites that will be used for re-election campaigns. The replublicrats are nothing more than the controlled opposition party. Prove me wrong.
What is so sad is our borders being unsecured and it's costing the lives of hundreds, maybe thousands of women and children trafficked across our border.. not to mention deaths from legal drugs such as fentanyl. 😢
@@URAQT1207 I could agree more 🥲
Personally, I know FIRM Democrats that will vote RED until we have our country back safely.
Children are at the center of my heart.
@@URAQT1207 No Accountability
Mayorkas is such a lying weasel.
Finally, someone is talking to him the way he needs to be talked to.
Love Cruz !
I agree a million percent
Thank you Senator Cruz! Please do not give up on America and AMERICANS!
Get him out! 😮
This is amazing. Mr. Mayorkas is the most incompetent secretary I have seen in my life
yes not to know what the bands are for is a tragedy
nah, he knows damn well what hes doing
get as many in as possible
He cant even answer a simple question. 😂
Nothing incompetent about a person who knows exactly what he is doing and is supremely smug about destroying the USA
@@disconductorder yes.. and he knows exactly what the bands are for. If he admitted he knows he then knows he's complacently ignoring what's happening to these people that owe the cartels 😢
Cruz's final words are great. "Your refusal to do your job is revolting"
Teddy has no right to call anyone incompetant though
Good words, but doesn't mean as much when you flee to Mexico instead of doing your job.
@@mapouman They're all incompetent to a certain degree. The question is to what level and is anyone dying because of it.
2016 Republican Presidential Debates -- Cruz. "We will carpet bomb ISIS into oblivion. I don't know if sand can be made to glow in the dark, but we're gonna find out." . "Or my name isn't Reverend Ted Cruz." Trump is the AntiChrist.
Though his words are true, no consequences will ever come as a result to Ted's questioning. After so many years of watching these things play out, no consequences EVER come!
This makes me SICK!
Physically
Brilliant. I wish we had the same inquests in the U.K.
Whole europe u mean
Nothing happens because of them. But it is nice to hear the back and forth. Just wish they’d actually hold the people accountable as a result of these congressional hearings.
Put these people in JAIL, this is a CATASTROPHY!
“Your refusal to do your job is revolting” The truth hurts, but this incompetence and political ideology is killing people…good work Senator Ted.
verbally bitch slapped
Yeah!! Do your job because Trump's wall isn't working as advertised.
So now what? is he going to jail? if not, pffttt!!!
Going once! Going twice! Fired! That simple!
Not a Cruz fan, but damn, that’s how you handle political BS "answers". Hope ya keep it up teddy
Keep watching cruz
You will like him even more.
I'm just gonna call Cruz the dominator from now on. He outright destroyed Mayorkas there.
Soldier 💪 💪
When asked a yes/no by OVERSIGHT and they refuse to answer, can you not just fine them for every time they refuse? Make it a percentage of their income. I'm sure they would start answering questions that way.
You ask anyone in this administration a simple yes or no question, you will rarely, if ever, get a yes or no answer. This country we live in gets worse by the day!
No shit!!
Failure to reply is the same as lying, it should carry the same penalty.
Oh wait…. What penalty…🙄
That can't tell you the difference between a man and a woman how could they possibly give a yes or a no answer to a more difficult question ?
They won't answer yes or no. They're wasting all his time with bs. 😉
Its frightening! The young kids and Adults still think Trump is bad and Biden is good. Nothing will change their minds. I think 5G and injections have changed them spiritually and emotionally.
Impressive work by Senator Cruz.
Go Ted Cruz!!!
Love this!
Finally, a Senator stands up for us.
Who the same guy who left his State when it was in crisis 😂😂😂😂
I've found several others since we were allowed to do the questioning. Kennedy, Hawley, Jim Jordan, there are several more that I can't think of right off.

Mayorkas: "What the Senator said is revolting."
Sen. Cruz: "Your refusal to do your job is revolting." ~ I agree.
It is one thing to be up front with an honest explanation for what they are doing, but to be so evasive and deceitful has to only mean it is NOT GOOD!
It's the evils workshop.
"This is why" this man needs punishment. He just refuses to answer any questions!
Great job TED CRUZ!!❤🇺🇸
I don't think I have ever seen Senator Cruz this animated and upset before.
About time
Crux is a pos. All about performing nothing else
He is very angry as I am
he’s an actor
Describing Cruz as animated is a laugh ...More like is he's got his panties in a bunch.
That last line was a mic drop. "You're refusal to do your job is what's revolting"
YAWN. Anyone indicted yet? Let alone arrested?
What a great country if all politicians were as great as Senator Cruz.
Ted Well said keep speaking up for us all
Your refusal to do your JOB is REVOLTING!
That was all of it right there.
I am so sick of people coming to congress and they will not answer any questions. How that can be allowed?
Its everywhere all political parties around the 🌎, no answers ever!!!
Feudalism 2.0
demokunts are never prosecuted
Nothing ever happens to them he’s basically lying under oath, won’t answer a single yes or no question. Bring back the gallows!
@@petercampbell3579 The WHOLE POINT is he's NOT answering yes/no questions...as long as he can say "well, at the current time and in the moment we're doing what we can to avoid having people die at the border needlessly and the present administration is working towards a better solution....ya-dee-ya-dee-daah"....it's not exactly lying....so it's plausible deniability. "Hey, I didn't know, no one told me" *shrugs shoulders* didn't lie under oath....but also didn't answer any questions
That criminal needs thrown in prison.
I’m sick of his smug look!
That was a bloodbath. I'm astounded that mayorkas is still in that job, his incompetence is monumental.
It is not incompetence. He is doing this on purpose.
He is trained well though
He’s just a puppet following orders. And I personally guarantee you he will not lose his job before 2024
I'm sorry I'm not American, but I would like to know what happened, what did he do?
@@JohnDoeH-777 Mayorkas? He didn't do his job
Not going to lie this made me cry. I want our country back. I WANT JUSTICE. I think it's time.

WHATS WORSE IS THE DEMS ARE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THESE PATHETIC DEM LOSERS .....FJB
understatement - since these hacks took unrightful office in Jan.'21
Thank you mr Cruz
Holy Shit Cruz is kicking ass 😂😂
“Subject to perjury” is a joke. None of these liars have ever been charged.
Ever and that's a huge part of the problem
That's not true there's currently a x attorney that is serving time for just that
In our new communist country, only Republicans can be convicted of crimes.
They could have all the proof in the world to charge these smucks in Brandon's administration and NOTHING would be done to them ! Absolutely nothing!
The DOJ under Garland is an abject joke. He is solely there to protect Biden and do whatever is possible to enable Biden to win re-election and run cover for the administration. Garland was Obama's guy. He is getting his revenge for not being put on the Supreme Court, where this BS would have been seen from the highest bench.
Who is paying Mayorkas?
What a sorry excuse for a man. It's a shame I gotta work under Alejandro Mayorkas.
IT'S ASTONISHING HOW EVIL THESE PEOPLE ARE
What's astonishing is how few people actually voted for CCP JOE! Because I can't seem to find but a handful..Didn't he receive more votes than ANY president before him?
You were amazing Sen. Cruz and that's how you get the job done. NOW lets have real consequences and action to end this horrific border crisis.
Sadly, just a lot of hot air with no action.
AND Ya wonder why it never changes except who ya blame for the failure of this Country......
I THOUGHT Trump did that........thought he fixed everything.....why are the problems worse? The train derailment rings a bell....maybe trying to fix all the f-up caused by the same person responsible for JAN SIXTH?!?!?!?! HOW MANY TIMES WILL IT TAKE TO GET YOOU PEOPLE TO FACE REALITY, Things could really change if you idiots would look at the situation AS IT IS, and not WHITE WASHED.

I find myself sitting here, now with my blood pressure elevated, shaking my head and saying to myself out loud, "Wow! Wow!" as I can't believe what I'm hearing and seeing! What has happened to us? This is not the United States of America I grew up in!
I agree. If these public servants who work for, and are paid by American citizens refuse to answer simple "yes"/"no" questions with a simple "yes," "no," or "I don't know," if they are uncertain, and instead, opt for "pussy footing" around the answer with word salad, or going off onto irrelevant tangents, they should not get to hold their position, PERIOD. This should hold true for *ANY* politician, regardless of political party, or which side of the isle their political stances fall on.

"Senator I was told to bullshit and dance around any questions because I am a dirtbag" If mayorkas said those words I would actually have more respect for him

Sick and tired of these so called secretaries lying and blatantly showing their ignorance or dishonesty😡👎🏼
They are destroying America from the inside intentionally.
The man is a moron.
Cruz drove me to tears. First with sadness. Then with anger. And, finally with rage toward an evil administration that dares defend their actions and refuses to put a stop to it. These horrors will loom over us for generations to come. And this administration is 100-percent responsible.
These posers have taken us all for a ride they have done nothing and will allways claim what a great job they have done even after they're gone

This is how these hearings should go. A yes/no question gets asked and a yes/no answer is given. Simple. Cruz has way more patience than I do.
If you are lying like Mayorkas is, a yes/no answer is not an option. He only brings negativity and lies to the proceedings. I find him touched by darkness.
The problem is when democrats do it, they want to get you in a trap. Republicans for the most part want the truth.
Works here. Usually doesn't. It only works for lecturing down on people by someone who already knows the answers.
I just wanna know how bad it feels to get done like this?
