Former late night host and 9/11 first responders advocate Jon Stewart chokes up and slams Congress over health care for the 9/11 first responders during the hearing for reauthorizing the 9/11 victim compensation fund. #CNN #News
Reading these comments during the 4th day of America’s 2020 election, on the day we broke the world record for most confirmed cases of coronavirus (previously held by India which is over 4x our population) in a single day (100k).... It’s amazing to scroll down and see nothing but a nation unified by a common tragedy. We are so divided on every issue now, big and small, we argue “alternative facts”, and “fake news”. We are going through a pandemic, Trump himself contracted it; just an hour ago news broke of Trump's chief of staff testing positive. Yet we continue to argue over whether masks are necessary! We were hiding in our houses 6 months ago buying toilet paper and disinfectant wipes on eBay for inflated prices. Now we’re back to “normal”, not bc of a vaccine or ramp down in cases, bc we got cabin fever and relief money wasn’t close to paying the rent. So we put our mask on when we leave for work and don’t hug, it’s just something we do. Complacency has made COVID nothing more than another partisan talking point. There is a “unscalable wall” encircling the White House in a 7 block radius and local businesses have been boarded up/closed for fear of the aftermath. It is absolutely heartwarming to see this solidarity.
Mr. Stewart, I hope that you look into the a very important and Shameful practice of Deportation of immigrants who volunteer to serve in our Military. I will send names.
I remember watching Chernobyl where coal miners who had everything to lose (and nothing to gain) knew what they were up against when they were coerced into building the underground structure to contain the radiation. One of them asked a government official if he and the rest of the miners would be taken care of after they're done with the job when they get sick...and the response from the official was "I dont know" and I thought to myself "pff typical Soviet government" It looks like this kind of selfish neglect knows no geographical boundaries and have no political affiliation. I doubt the first responders would've responded any differently by not showing up, even if they had known they were up against abestos poisoning
And yet here we are again, September 15-2020 Jon speaks again about 9/11 responders and war vets, and our "CORRUPT" Government still won't fix the problem.
It's the 19th Anniversary of 911, and our death count still grows from the harm done to us. Thank you, Jon Stewart. You are absolutely right. The Corrupt DEMS are still at bungling what all that we could be and should be doing FOR our Great America. My tears are continuing. I remember that day that I just happened to be watching the news. Everything I felt was magnified with the next attack and the next and the next. I cried through them all. Although, by the 2nd plane, we had no doubt that the USA was under attack. Thank GOD for the 4th plane being reclaimed to save more of us Americans. I love you all my fellow Americans. *But, the Corrupt Ones need to GO!!* *Sidney Powell-Weiner laptop-HRC server* • 98,603 views -- esvid.net/video/v%C3%ADdeo-s2JZffZUGhg.html -- Mar 12, 2020 Daniel Smith *SO MUCH YES: Protestors get a taste of their own medicine at American University* -- esvid.net/video/v%C3%ADdeo-3WEh51z1H_o.html -- Dinesh D'Souza 2019 *DAMNING EVIDENCE OF DEMS -- WARNING: ACTUAL CRIME SCENE PHOTOS ARE LOWER ON THIS PAGE - DO NOT VIEW IN THE PRESENCE OF CHILDREN* (This is the hard evidence that drove Donald Trump to his knees.) -- beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2020/08/pedogate-2020-massive-update-3729028.html - THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK!!!! I do not know why some of the images are missing. I think one was Hilary's email to Huma. The others, I believe, were the PEDO icons, and some of their evil tweets, as they have learned to hide in plain sight. Some of them don't even care that we have broken their code, as they are still tweeting about their orders for children or for their yearning of them. SICK FREAKS!! LOOK WHILE THE WEBSITE IS STILL THERE!!! *Human Trafficking Arrests: 3,269 ARREST EVENTS* are mostly crimes against children. qmap.pub/kids -- Why aren't MSM DEMS reporting THIS WONDERFUL NEWS?! #THINK #WakeUP!! #SaveOurChildren -- QMAP DOT PUB is being blocked by facebook leftists / Marxists / Communist / Nazis. *NOW THIS WEBSITE IS OFFLINE.* This just happened. It was fine last night. These Corrupt Ones are very savvy, but we have copies of everything around the globe. THEY WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THEIR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. #SaveOurChildren!!! 800,000 children are reported missing every year. President Trump is wanting the USA to kill all pedophiles and satanists who have murdered people and children. We cannot afford to let them exist, to teach others, and share their sick ideas. They must be ended. PRAY for our President Trump, AG Barr, and all the good people who work hard to make America a better place. PRAY AGAINST the works of Hell that some of our Corrupt Ones have turned to for money and power at any cost. #SaveOurChildren #JesusANSWERS #GODisFORus!!
I had to come back to watch this video again Imagine the Fed printing endless money to prop up the stock market, but can't pay for the healthcare of the literal heroes who answered the call when it was needed most. " *Shameful* "
He hates President Trump, but he also hates congress that hates Trump. So does he honestly like anyone??? He only does what is good for himself. 911 heroes forever will be in my prayers, but I do not blame this on Trump. Get your sh*t together and stop hating republicans.
The passion that John speaks with, no pre-written speech, no teleprompter, he is a brilliant man, something the White House is missing today. The man is fearless, because he can back his facts up.
roseviolet1 you would have had a point without calling me an ass. Now you sound like a moron that read that in a book once and thought it sounded good. Get an education for yourself idiot
CNN this is a disgusting title. The whole point of this speech was not about Jon Stewart. It's about the men and women he is representing. Those who are being wronged. Don't be so vile as to erase these people like congress is doing. Shameless sensationalism.
If I become a history teacher I’m 100% using this to describe the feelings of distrust in the American people over the state of congress ever since Bush
I've said it 100 times....Jon Stewart for President of the United States of America. Want to drain the swamp for real?? That's the guy. Want to hold congress and the senate accountable?? He's the man. Want the end of nepotism and elitism once and for all in this country he's the guy. He is what our nation needs to be strong again without arrogance. Strength in unity and justice. Wish he would just stand up and take about 8 years for the team....be our President.
I'm late to see this but I find myself with more time on my hands recently.... God damn, for real why was this ever a question, all the money this country pisses away and they deliberated this, absolutely despicable, on top of that half don't even show up, I don't care what side of the line you fall on wtf are we doing letting these people be our representatives? How could you ever even question not taking care of first responders. I'm an a American and this is not my country, we stand for nothing to even question this, a go fund me would have a better response time, I'm sick to my stomach
Bro, forget your political views and give this man his props. THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE!!! These first responding HEROES should be taken care of because they took care of us!!!! Congress makes me so sick sometimes
So this is where they have been hiding john stewart. The new propaganda machine doesnt like John stewart very much. They like ripping off HIS platform the Daily Show with petty South African propaganda otherwise known as Trevor Noah and ArkAngel. You get that? Trevor NOAH of ARKANGEL? Thats some obsession with apocalypse to give your company and stage name.They like manipulating the "stars" HIS format produced to serve their interest; memes doritos game of thrones, the new nikes and a happy meal contentedness of yuppie apathy, ie Colbert. But the man himself they have buried deep down in the American Psyche
The committee members who were missing are Eric Swalwell (CA), Madeleine Dean (PA), Sylvia Garcia (TX), Veronica Escobar (TX), Sheila Jackson Lee (TX), Jim Jordan (OH), Guy Reschenthaler (PA), Ben Cline (VA) and Kelly Armstrong (ND). Let's make sure these scumbags never hold elected office again in this country.
The sad thing is: Mitch still tried to block this after the testimony. Goes to show you how much the GOP cares about the America they claim to love so much.
“There is not an empty chair on that stage that didn’t tweet out ‘never forget the heroes of 9/11. Never forget their bravery. Never forget what they did- what they gave to this country.’ Well here they are. And where are they?” - Jon Stewart
If you set aside this speech, John Stewart is pretty far left and about half the country really isn’t going to like him all that much... and yet he still had better numbers than congress! When a guy that half the country doesn’t agree with yanks down your pants and publicly spanks and humiliates you, in your own house, and gets a standing ovation from both sides of the country... you pretty much suck.
What a bunch of spineless wastes of sperm and egg. I miss John Stewart. He is the only thing that got me through 9/11 and the anxiety that came for the years to follow.
My god Jon Steward is amazing. If anyone is a true American it’s him. I have never seen anything more beautiful than him eviscerating Congress. The sad thing about it is that they are all so dumb it probably won’t make a difference anyway
Wow...just... the man with the last word on this...left me tearing up and speechless... the BEST proactive stance? When he told that panel (on a pedestal..oh the irony) that they should switch roles and they should ask first responders the questions. Brilliant. Well done..I'll be watching this again and again.. and again..
Jon mutherfuckin Stewart . Thank you so much for fighting so hard for the 9/11 first responders. More than that. 9/11 mutherfucking responders! You ALL have to know how much you mean to all of us that witnessed that disaster. You are amazing. Thank you!
I learned about this today, in a different country. There’s a picture of this speech in our history text books, and our teacher showed us this clip. I don’t know this man but during class I teared up
Irrespective of what you believe happened on September 11th, this is one of the great speeches of our time. And I say that without the 9 day wonder effect of a youtube video... you can come back to this time and time, and its words still resonate to the core.
THIS is how you protest and express anger at a situation without sounding like a fucking little child. Which is why he wasn’t immediately tuned out like most protestors are. Very well done, Jon.
If individuals and businesses who scammed the system and claimed benefits of 9-11 funding for lost revenue gave just half of it back there would be no issue here. Fly fishing outfitters in Montana and Wyoming said" a lot of our clients in the financial industry were killed so we need 20 million dollars " and billionaire hedge fund managers said " well we lost our offices we need 20 million for new office space " and politicians who's districts are thousands of miles away with no ties to NYC said " we need 10 million for a 9-11 memorial on main street" not to mention thousands of frivolous cash grab lawsuits. Do a little digging and you'll find so much fraud and waste and opportunistic human garbage you'll be sick to your stomach. Middle Americans are the worst kind of people. They all hated us New Yorkers until they saw a horrible tragedy could get them free money.
I really hope this speech takes off and is shown in history classes down the road. In addition to the content of the speech itself this is how you be angry, but get results. This speech moved me personally and I give many kudos to Jon Stewart for doing this. Great guy with a great message.
gotta love how goerge bush & his supperiors did this to American citizens & still people have no shred of logic to see how these evil human beings & their little underlings (congress etc...) will just not care & never assume consequences
Given the recent anniversary I was saying this exact same stuff that Stewart is w re to these HEROES! Shame on those in a position of power not taking complete care of these men and women. Go back and watch the footage of the day the towers went down and tell me you don’t agree! It’s fucking deplorable that any one of these people are struggling to have health care while keeping their heads above water financially. Gross!
Ramon Gomide People inhaled numerous amounts of toxins that were there as a result of a collapsing building. Too many of those toxins together can, in fact cause cancer.
Today is 9/11/2019 as we remember the tragic day that happened years ago, we remember the first responders who gave their lives to save others but this year we should honor the person who fought for first responders to get the benefits they needed! June 11, 2019 never forget this speech.
the guy on the right to john is trying to not break down the whole time. as a german im not even that effected by 9/11 and all thats surrounding it, but if i was in the position of all these first-helpers, id start a riot.
Jon Stewart really stepped for these 911 first responders.Those in the hall behind him are broken people who do not deserve the short end of the stick by being pushed aside like trick of treaters.He really rubbed the members of Congresses noses in this problem and they really got the message
