Made me cry
Sign out
I have never been more ashamed to be American.
Is this really happening ?!
Donโt worry lads. Larry Silverstein got 4 billion.
Jon Stewart 2024
Jon, please run for president
Stewart's entire position is undermined by his deference to the flag.
Wow im channeling milton davis jr. from "angels in the outfield" for this one, "that used to be jon stewart??" Yes, children. He used to fight for good, but he has since succumbed to evil
You saw him scream at Mike Johnson before anyone knew who he is?
What is sickening to me, is billions of dollars are going to Ukraine, Hamas, and Israel. And so many other meaningless lobbyists causes.
Here we are 4 years later and almost 9 million illegals have come across our southern border and they didnt have to have someone fight for their free medical care housing and everything else they just got it but 9/11 responders who are still dying to this day had to have people fight for them to get help and theres still not enough money
Back after having it pointed out to me that at one point, Jon addresses MAGA Mike Johnson, the new Speaker of the House in late 2023.
So, you know, just one more reason to hate MAGA Mike Johnson.
It's 9/11 and I couldn't help but to remember this. #neverforget
It's sad that a famous person had to fight for the 9/11 first responders bill. I watched this video like 20 times. It took 18 years to get this done while men and women have already died.
In 2015, The turtle (McConnell) stopped the bill. They all had to go back and fight for what was right. Thanks, Jon Stewart, for all your help. Now, they have coverage until 2092.
oh my god this guy has unleashed after leaving his television show. seems to be a trend lately when the media loses control on their employees. They unleash
โCertainly, 9/11 first responders should not have to decide whether to live or have a place to live.โ -Jon Stewart
Every single representative that was absent should be called out and voted out for their callous and inhumane treatment of these heroes. What if every first responder decided to take the day off on Tuesday, September 11, 2001? I find it appalling that anyone would feel this hearing was optional. DO YOUR JOBS!
Run for office
Our political system has essentially forgotten what sincerity looks like. He's doesn't need a teleprompter, just speaks from the heart, and it's powerful.
Beautiful speach. ๐ข
This man is a true Patriot . He wants for what is fair the country's citizens. He's taken pot-shots at Both sides of the isle. I respect him for that.
Master class ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ธ
Why is this even a vote or an argument? Give the heroes of 9/11 all medical care. That's it! It shouldn't even be discussed. This world is so disgusting
18 years…. damn.. our government sucks ass
John Stewart made a point that made Congress shut up and actually listen to what he had to say how they thought about it and their heads. Making a very good example of 9/11. It took them five seconds to respond while everything else nowadays itโs just โoh donโt worry weโre responding to it.โ thank you so much John Stewart this is what defines America.
Perfection
I've watched this 20 times. Thank you jon
An absolute joke. Wow
This is my man ๐ ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
One of the great orations in history. Future generations will study this along with Churchill's "On the Beaches", MLK's "Dream" and JFK's "moon" speech.
Pure representation of how much political parties and all their BS is just that. BS. 100% of legitimate American taxpayers want these heroes taken care of at no charge to them. They gave their lives and bodies to this country, and itโs our duty to take care of them.
Jon has transcended being a comedian. Kind of like a George Carlin, heโs now more a โphilosopherโ, and agent for change.
He just stated the number 1 underlying problem with congress. Sorry yall dont get a capital C but thanks anyway auto correct. That shit is earned. Its the fact that they use a bill designed for one thing and someone is congresses uses it for political gain out of greed. Not to mention that everytime we have a new president they can't just suck it up and get behind the leader out the country no, they have spend those 4 years and millions of our dollars, not theirs, undermining the thing with false allegations and false impeachments. That's why I say, impeach everyone in Congress. Get them out. And we need to vet those who we vote into office with much more care to be sure those individuals are are on our side and not on the side of high campaign contributors. Get rid of these bought puppets of the wealthy and give it back to the people. Suppose to lobby for people and not the 1 percent elite. They don't build this country they prosper off ruining it like leaches. They're a cancer and it keeps spreading
7:00 Al Qaida? :p
I love his passion but it seems most white people (not all) only are truly passion about things that affect white people!!! Where is all the passion from a white person (whoโs famous) concerning the shooting of unarmed people of color, citizens of the United Snakes of America? Have that same energy when you truly have something thatโs legitimate to fight for. 911 was a false flag operation to get us to go to war with Iraq who had nothing to do with what happen in Manhattan!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE and blame who is truly at faultโฆ..nuff said!
The United States is a shit show of corruption
Congress finds money to give to GM, Wall street during the 2008 housing market bust, pork projects, foreign nations, and give themselves pay raises. But for these 9/11heores? Not so much.
My favorite part of this is that he at no point looked down at a paper to read off of; this was all honest and in his head, this vividly. Love this man.
Jon Stewart for President.
Agreed 100% John Stewart.
Jon Stewart was told all his life that socialism does not work. And now here he is, in front of what is essentially a death panel, begging bureaucrats to give people health care. You have no one to be upset at but yourself Jon Stewart. Why not just simply bypass congress and create your own private organization to help 9/11 survivors? Surely a man of Stewarts fame can raise the money for it?
We need more men like this.
