“This constant lying is not intended to make people believe a lie, but to ensure that no one believes anything anymore. A people who can no longer distinguish truth from lies cannot distinguish good from evil. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing it and without wanting it, completely subject to the rule of lies. With such people, you can do whatever you want. " -Hannah Arendt, (October 14, 1906 - December 4, 1975)
According to the H.A. Center: "The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie-a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days-but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please."

@@davidwelsh8026 Why should I give Patel, or anyone magaboy nominates, a chance? What makes any of them qualified for those positions? Also, what was it that Wray was trying & failing at?
I feel like the whole point of nominating all of these people is to break everything. NONE of Trumps picks are qualified and most literally are going to work in the opposite direction of the mission of each department. I will not be surprised if the entire country falls before next year at this time. I'm hopeful that these people are so stupid they won't succeed but I don't have much faith that they won't destroy it.
Christopher Wray's "best way" is not the best way at all. He should have fought all the way to show Donald Trump he believes what he preaches - that is, the rule of law must prevail over personal animosity.
I agree. I don't understand why Mr Wray had to spare Trump a new lie. He should have waited for Trump to articulate the cause for which he meant to fire him. Would it have been: "Because you raided my golf club at Maga-Lardo”? Yes, a personal grievance, again.
I wonder what they thought of defrauding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court? The judges sure weren't pleased. You suppose that other countries might dole out some punishment for that?

Why do Democrats continue to abide by vestigial rules of decency that no Republican has honored, it seems, EVER?? I worked in Federal agencies (including the DOJ) as a prosecutor and civil litigator, so I deeply appreciate adherence to the rules and fair play. It just seems that decency is not reciprocated by Republicans. I am not only furious, but, also, heartbroken. I entered into government service with a deep-rooted desire to maintain justice, fairness and respect for my fellow Americans. The hypocrisy of the republicans is nauseating. May The Lord help us. Blessings 😢
Fair play? Thats laughable. The democrats went after their political enemies with Biden’s agencies. Now they are claiming that’s what he is doing. You got everything reversed.

Libertyann, you mean “wringer”, a contraption that was used to wring water out of clean, wet clothes. A “ringer” is a fake substitution for the real thing, e.g. “ The winning racehorse was a ringer.”
During Donald Trump's presidency, he spent 298 days playing golf, marking the highest number of golf days by any U.S. president within a single term. The U.S. economy contracted at the fastest rate since 1946 and the unemployment rate reached 14.7%, the highest since the Great Depression.
I imagine security services around the world are starting to limit the information that they share with the FBI. If this is correct I hope somebody conveys this to the US Senate Confirmation committee.
I found it heartbreaking to hear Director Ray was leaving. Then i heard the statement he made in his announcement. He wants to keep the FBI above politics and to keep the constitution in tact. Respect, Director Ray! Shame on Trump and his thug Kash Patel, shame!!
I wholeheartedly agree with you, shame on trump/patel! Too bad by choosing to do what he's done he's thrown the FBI right into the biggest fray in history!!!
Based on what facts do you make that claim? Trump has a proven record showing that he was a great president. Google Breitbart: Trumps Accomplishments and see how hard he worked for all Americans. Needless to say that there were no new wars during his presidency.
Thank you Lawrence for not being afraid to speak the truth. I am praying Kash Patel doesn’t get approved. Losing the FBI would be a very very dangerous decision!

@lindazanihkowsky7002 When Trump left office The rate of inflation GROWTH was 1.54% when inflation under Biden/ Harris cumulatively is over 20+% - inflation across housing, utilities, food, insurance, etc. has gone up 30-50% or more since 2021, with interest rates doubling. Every bill added to inflation/ national debt/drove up interest rates, etc. because KAMALA HARRIS was the deciding vote.
Wray is a good and decent man. He will always be remembered for his fair and thorough leadership! If Patel gets through the confirmation, he will be a disaster for the FBI and he will ruin it. Moth balling the FBI building, turning it into a museum is the most egregious thing he could ever do! Eliot Ness would be turning in his grave. 😔
He knows that the majority of people at the FBI are "disgruntled" workers and that they want to Make America Great Again. He knows exactly what he's getting into.
Democrats are modern day Red Coats. They still believe there are rules in this war so they all line up in neat rows in the middle of an open field, with a big white X on their chests and get slaughtered by the American colonists using guerrilla tactics.

Does resigning mean Wray gets to keep his pension benefits? Thinking of the guy fired by T just a couple of days before he was due to retire, thus preventing him receiving his pension.
when bad things start happening, Patel will simply follow his dear leader's example by blaming the already corrupt system that he inherited. God help us.
@@jpknijffoh that is your thought after the last 4 years of bs. I'll always pray for people like you but I KNOW you don't believe in the only God I do.
Christopher Wray, I can’t even begin to fathom the anguish you have wrestled with in deciding to step down. Wish you could’ve stayed in the fight. Patel as FBI Director? God help us all.
I have always considered the FBI a topnotch agency. This guy here lacks the gravitas for the position. He, like all the orange dude's minions, including the man himself, lack decorum, class, intergrity or character to hold such a prestigious position. Let's hope and pray he is not confirmed.
Good Grief, you probably never new the FBI covered for larry nassar, for over a decade. Is your name Rip van Winkle? larry's partners from the FBI have never been named or prosicuted.
I'm 51yrs old. $40,000 weekly and *I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!* ❤️
Same here waking up every 14th of each month to 210,000 dollars it's a blessing to l and my family... I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income❤️Big gratitude to Maria Frances Hanlon
It would be a good thing if he quit NOW so Biden could appoint the next one and make Donald lie to fire him. This is just nuts. Patel will be a lackey and nothing more. Trump just wants the world to burn.
Its the people of a nation who allow dictatorship or not e.g. the Country of Georgia, where the people are rejecting one man's rule. Dont wait till things get worse e.g. Syria
Wray has capitulated. Why? Does he really believe that resigning making a place for Patel is in the BEST interests of the FBI and Americans? Come on!! What and resigning is a way of maintaining independence and objectivity, above partisanship and politics? Words and actions are NOT in alignment, sorry!!
Lawrence, your great. I wish all the other mainstream media including rest of MSNBC had not lost their way. Thankyou for holding out to what is important - integrity, clarity, calm. ABC - Are you Listening by Bevan is also an exception. and ABC - Media Watch was also great but the presenter said last week, last show.
Back in the day the FBI targeted MLK, the Black panthers, Malcom X, Angela Davis and any other groups and persons that were fighting for equal and civil rights...
@@gogreen7794 I agree, the 31 percent is now responsible for the circus in America. It truly is scary to see NOT ONE PERSON qualified for the job they will be given, NOT ONE!!
As Kash Patel assumes the Directorship of the FBI, he will not be worse than John Edgar Hoover. Patel will NOT step down or be forced from that office. He may stay there for 10 years or longer. Is Patel worthy or even qualified for the job? NO!
This guy Patel is so full of himself, and I suspect, something else that it's almost guaranteed that he will do a much less than commendable job,reason being, he probably won't be able to get himself and his ego out of the way 😮
In Wray’s good-bye message, we learn what we are losing with his resignation. The FBI exists to protect all of us. Despite flawed leaders, bloated power, undue political influence, and tragic missteps, it has (mostly) maintained its purpose. (I say this even as I remember abuses against citizens during the Civil Rights movement and Vietnam War campus protests.) We citizens will never know the full cost of our protection; I, for one, am deeply grateful for it. I am equally grateful for the freedom to speak up if/when there are abuses. I do not take this for granted. Godspeed, Mr. Wray. I hope you hear my thanks.
I don't know, I think Wray is well aware of how complex the job is and why should he pass on all that is required to a loser like Patel when he can leave weeks before and take his expertise with him.
He was getting fired anyway when Trump took office, I don't blame him for leaving when Biden's term is over...Trump is already saying he wants Patel to have that job.
That is why Wray's resignation will be felt for a very long time. Great time for the enemies to take advantage AND I heard other nations will not be as forthcoming with Intel info sharing due to Patel and Gubbard's nominations.
I guess that's why I was never nominated Director of FBI. With Individual -1 returning (retreating) to the WH, I wouldn't leave that building with anything less than a GB of data on him, for insurance purposes.
Sad to witness all these ppl who were loyal to trump get knives in their backs. OR YOUR FIRED! Next victim...🙄 Everyone who has trump ever been good to or honest? Stay safe pls🙏

Getting elected makes him qualified. Just like getting nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate makes you qualified. You don’t like it? TOO BAD! 😅
@lindazanihkowsky7002 When Trump left office The rate of inflation GROWTH was 1.54% when inflation under Biden/ Harris cumulatively is over 20+% - inflation across housing, utilities, food, insurance, etc. has gone up 30-50% or more since 2021, with interest rates doubling.
Every bill added to inflation/ national debt/drove up interest rates, etc. because KAMALA HARRIS was the deciding vote.
Wray is a good and decent man. He will always be remembered for his fair and thorough leadership! If Patel gets through the confirmation, he will be a disaster for the FBI and he will ruin it. Moth balling the FBI building, turning it into a museum is the most egregious thing he could ever do! Eliot Ness would be turning in his grave. 😔
Wray will be remembered for rolling over when the going got hard. He is a coward not a decent man.
@@howardhudson5054Wray probably dosent want to lower himself again working in the Trump administration. Hes done with Trump!
Wray is a coward and a traitor..... Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. Did he forget? Or is it pension more important? 🤬
Wray is a disgrace. He needs to go and many others will follow.
Wray disgraced the FBI.
Old Kash has no idea what he’s getting into
He knows that the majority of people at the FBI are "disgruntled" workers and that they want to Make America Great Again. He knows exactly what he's getting into.
It was either replace Wray or disband the FBI entirely. The swamp must be drained.
I hope the dems learned something. Stop playing the goody two shoe role and do what's necessary
Why Dems always taking the high road! That’s why we lost1
Democrats are modern day Red Coats. They still believe there are rules in this war so they all line up in neat rows in the middle of an open field, with a big white X on their chests and get slaughtered by the American colonists using guerrilla tactics. The only difference is, the Red Coats eventually figured out that thinking is how you lose a war. Democrats STILL haven't figured it out.
@@vidalark415 No we lost because we buried our heads in the sand when massive documented fraud took place. Too stupid.
Correct
What a sad day in America
You mean another sad day. 2nd to Nov. 5, 2024
Does resigning mean Wray gets to keep his pension benefits? Thinking of the guy fired by T just a couple of days before he was due to retire, thus preventing him receiving his pension.
Exactly!
Government employees receive a pension and healthcare for their lifetime.
He went to court and WON that case. He was able to collect his pension benefits...
when bad things start happening, Patel will simply follow his dear leader's example by blaming the already corrupt system that he inherited. God help us.
And after he identifies each problem he will fix it. Correction for the corrupt state, that you identified, is coming .
@@denniswilson9030 His list of "accomplishments" from his first try say you're living in a fantasy land.
So you admit that corruption is present in D.C.
God help us, my thought exactly.
@@jpknijffoh that is your thought after the last 4 years of bs. I'll always pray for people like you but I KNOW you don't believe in the only God I do.
Christopher Wray, I can’t even begin to fathom the anguish you have wrestled with in deciding to step down. Wish you could’ve stayed in the fight. Patel as FBI Director? God help us all.
Why?
Yeah, Wray is a punk. Get used to Different, retributions are coming. Let's hope you have nothing to hide, right, like your Na zi's did to the right?
Wray is as crooked as they come and Patel will make him pay.
This tells you he is corrupted. Open your eyes.
Patel is another embarrassment.
So unqualified and hes straight up CRAZY!
I have always considered the FBI a topnotch agency. This guy here lacks the gravitas for the position. He, like all the orange dude's minions, including the man himself, lack decorum, class, intergrity or character to hold such a prestigious position. Let's hope and pray he is not confirmed.
FBI history I did not know (except J Edgar Hoover). Lawrence always on a jaunt to remind us who we were. ❤
Good Grief, you probably never new the FBI covered for larry nassar, for over a decade. Is your name Rip van Winkle? larry's partners from the FBI have never been named or prosicuted.
I'm 51yrs old. $40,000 weekly and *I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!* ❤️
Hello how do you make such?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
It's Maria Frances Hanlon doing, she's changed my life.
Same here
waking up every 14th of each
month to 210,000 dollars it's a blessing to l and my family... I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income❤️Big gratitude to
Maria Frances Hanlon
I do know Ms. Maria Frances Hanlon, I also have even become successful....
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Ms. Maria Frances Hanlon.
Good show Lawrence.
Patel no no no
So you’re a racist and against having the first Indian director of the FBI? Shame!
Yes, yes, yes...maybe now we can figure out who tried to off an ex pres....we know why it wasn't done.
@@urbanlibertarian2520 Indians don't claim scum
@@mizzLopez it was Trump who set that up lol lol
My cat has better qualifications than Kash Patel.
Probably has better qualifications than Harris and Walz also.
@@matthews7805lol 😂 🇺🇸
I'm going to miss the continuity that we had in a democracy after it's replaced with whatever you want to call the mega version
We are a republic. When the left talks about democracy they are just wanting to save the swamp. They are worried about losing it. Good riddance
Wray’s quitting is very disappointing.
It would be a good thing if he quit NOW so Biden could appoint the next one and make Donald lie to fire him.
This is just nuts.
Patel will be a lackey and nothing more.
Trump just wants the world to burn.
Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity.... I don't think so....
Its the people of a nation who allow dictatorship or not e.g. the Country of Georgia, where the people are rejecting one man's rule. Dont wait till things get worse e.g. Syria
Happy I tuned in. Thank you for keeping us informed.
Wray has capitulated. Why? Does he really believe that resigning making a place for Patel is in the BEST interests of the FBI and Americans? Come on!! What and resigning is a way of maintaining independence and objectivity, above partisanship and politics? Words and actions are NOT in alignment, sorry!!
💪
Thank you Lawrence !!
Lawrence, your great. I wish all the other mainstream media including rest of MSNBC had not lost their way. Thankyou for holding out to what is important - integrity, clarity, calm. ABC - Are you Listening by Bevan is also an exception. and ABC - Media Watch was also great but the presenter said last week, last show.
You mean, “ Lawrence, you’re great.” You’re means you are. Understand the basics of the English language and strive to appear literate.
The FBI director should not be able to be fired by the president without confirmation by the Senate.
How sickening to learn of all this krap
As Jasmine Crockett said, "buckle up, buttercup" chaos is coming for the American people.
I wouldnt let him walk my dog let alone run a law enforcement agency.
That’s the first I heard FBI did something to Martin Luther King. That’s crazy.😮
Edgar was super racist. I’m not surprised at all.
Where have you been hiding? It's been public knowledge since MLK was gunned down.
Back in the day the FBI targeted MLK, the Black panthers, Malcom X, Angela Davis and any other groups and persons that were fighting for equal and civil rights...
Oh yes. Hoover was famously racist
Thanks to JAMES COMEY, America is now in the state it is 😢
The voters who chose Trump are to blame, no one else.
@gogreen7794 Trumpy Dumpty would've been a distant memory from 2016 if wasn't for COMEYS COWARDLY DECISION!!!!
Mueller was right about iraq and trump!
@@gogreen7794 I agree, the 31 percent is now responsible for the circus in America. It truly is scary to see NOT ONE PERSON qualified for the job they will be given, NOT ONE!!
Trump fired James Comey because he was doing his job and Trump knew that his orange az was guilty 😮😮😮
Thank You so much, Sir. Greetings from Germany.
This information about J. Edgar is sickening. He was a twisted soul.
As Kash Patel assumes the Directorship of the FBI, he will not be worse than John Edgar Hoover. Patel will NOT step down or be forced from that office. He may stay there for 10 years or longer. Is Patel worthy or even qualified for the job? NO!
This guy Patel is so full of himself, and I suspect, something else that it's almost guaranteed that he will do a much less than commendable job,reason being, he probably won't be able to get himself and his ego out of the way 😮
Why cannot Biden put an FBI director in now?
right! Use DT's excuse to fire him and name an FBI director now.
Trump would only fire him. Besides he would have to be confirmed by the Senate. There isn't time 😢
The Senate can act quickly when it wants to. See the rush to fill the SCOTUS seat when RBG died.
@@elenalatici9568none of that is true if you listen to trump/Patel! I say do it and MAKE trump fire whoever Biden puts in!
@@elenalatici9568ughhh 😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO SPEAKING THE TRUTH
kash has no chance
Patel is out to lunch
Lawrence, keep up the good work. This type of truth telling needs a bigger platform.
Absolutely.
Are we on a collective acid trip??? 😳
Which we will be on for the next four years dear God give us strength 💪 🙏 🙌
Perhaps coming off of one. Americans are tired of taking the pills. When they wake uo they see their lives further in ruins.
I wish.
We Should be! To endure this madness
Now that nothing matters, I’m questioning so many of my life’s choices. 😭
😂😂 right?
Thanks for ur service.
The word is YOUR, not ur. Ur was an ancient kingdom in what is now Iraq.
In Wray’s good-bye message, we learn what we are losing with his resignation.
The FBI exists to protect all of us. Despite flawed leaders, bloated power, undue political influence, and tragic missteps, it has (mostly) maintained its purpose. (I say this even as I remember abuses against citizens during the Civil Rights movement and Vietnam War campus protests.) We citizens will never know the full cost of our protection; I, for one, am deeply grateful for it. I am equally grateful for the freedom to speak up if/when there are abuses. I do not take this for granted.
Godspeed, Mr. Wray. I hope you hear my thanks.
I cannot imagine the senate would approve Kash Patel, but then again, I could never imagine people would vote for trump.
Sick
Make it make sense! 😲
His eyes are freaky!
@@mirfir diseased...
Loll yes! Crazy eyes.
You are defending America from her domestic enemies, You stay as long as possible.
Thank you!
Thank you for your reporting.
I call BS on Chris Wray. He's says he "LOVES THIS PLACE". He couldn't possibly LOVE a place he abandons to donald trump's worst instincts!!!!!!!!!!!!
He wanted to stay but when you are pressured by corrupt people bent on burning the whole thing down you leave with your head still attached.
I don't know, I think Wray is well aware of how complex the job is and why should he pass on all that is required to a loser like Patel when he can leave weeks before and take his expertise with him.
💯
He was getting fired anyway when Trump took office, I don't blame him for leaving when Biden's term is over...Trump is already saying he wants Patel to have that job.
Some will go to prison for a person that they believed in!
Not me, there isn't a politician on this planet i would go to jail for...
Always in trumps case. He has left a wake of people suffering for his crimes. Michael Cohen prime example
Patel needs to be shown how those terrorist threats were identified and neutralised by the gathering of INTELLIGENCE.
That is why Wray's resignation will be felt for a very long time. Great time for the enemies to take advantage AND I heard other nations will not be as forthcoming with Intel info sharing due to Patel and Gubbard's nominations.
@@mercuryangel5632 Nor is patel even interested in seeing what the FBI does.
Makes me vomit. Biden if he had any balls, would fire Wray immediately and appoint say Glenn Kirschner.
Great now I have his theme song from the Stephanie Miller Show
Potato joe doesn’t even know what day it is.
@@kenc7120 And your grammar sucks, so there
Biden should’ve fire him 4 years ago. But he’s Biden.
Biden could appoint Kirschner- or anyone- but whoever it was would be quickly replaced. Doesn't make sense with only 5-6 weeks remaining in office.
Patel is not qualified and is mentally unfit to lead ANYTHING.
Wray is full of FEAR and Favour .
I truly doubt it
AMERICA GOING THE WRONG WAY !!!
Indeed. 🎯 🇨🇵
but it's the way the people voted.
So many people have lost their minds. So much hate & so many evil people. GOD will judge all of you & your actions.
I guess that's why I was never nominated Director of FBI. With Individual -1 returning (retreating) to the WH, I wouldn't leave that building with anything less than a GB of data on him, for insurance purposes.
From taxi driver to FBI boss...,what a joke😅
So much for dedication and commitment to the country.
Never comply in advance. Cmon Wray! You folded when you should have held the line.
Sad to witness all these ppl who were loyal to trump get knives in their backs. OR YOUR FIRED! Next victim...🙄 Everyone who has trump ever been good to or honest? Stay safe pls🙏
