None of these current clown Presidential candidates would stand a chance in a debat against Stewart! I would love to see that! Trump would have a touch with this guy! Trump would be like "Damn! Jon Stewart"
Boo Hoo Jon!!! stick to telling bad jokes and leave the politics to the big boys
Never rekret
Go to hell John Stewart! I don't want your crocodile tears! Another Hollywood elite vying for my attention!
It took you 18 years to cry for me? Fuck off!!
Thanku
Look at how Congress is handling this and tell me that's who you want in charge of YOUR healthcare. If there's ever been an argument AGAINST medicare for all, it's THIS video. When your health benefits go wrong, how can you make an unaccountable congress do anything about it? You can't! You're screwed, just like these folks.
Saudi America has money only to fund terrorists and bomb kids in the Middle East.
didn't the guy who owned the building strangely get like 4 trillion dollars of insurance claim from insuring the building 6 months before the attack, why doesnt he donate some money?
just google the guy, he literally looks like an evil rat
Congress need to get their act together on this issue. Jon Stewart is right about time running out. I wonder how many of the Congress today were in office on 9/11, and rushed to a secret location whilst doing their job, whereas the brave firefighters did their job running towards danger. Congress need to get their priorities right on this. God bless Jon for his persevering stance on this.
I find it very sickening because of the Socialist Democrats that now the total cost this year alone for illegals is over 122 billion and rising. Just the cost today is around 700 million per day. Look it up on One America News clock of illegals costs. Anybody that votes for Democrats and wants to waste more money on illegals should be impeached and thrown out of office. With this money that could be going to these firefighters, veterans and the homeless, and yet it’s wasted on people that are not even supposed to be in this country. That is very repulsive to me and anti-American.
The first responders have already been covered through 2090 by Congress. The only outstanding issue is compensation. Odd, since the PDNY and FDNY both have their own workers' compensation systems administered by themselves. If there is any truth to the claims being made then surely it would fall under workers' compensation.
Here's the full testimony: @ . The no shows were: Louie Gohmert, Republican, Texas; Jim Jordan, Republican, Ohio; Guy Reschenthaler, Republican, Pennsylvania; Ben Cline, Republican, Virginia; Kelly Armstrong, Republican, North Dakota.
Pathetic bastards can give themselves a raise they don't deserve but can't bless these Hero's. Gods listening She/He truly is and you will pay for your decision.
The only thing those freaks in Congress stand for is themselves burn them and set term limits.
Thank you for remembering my friends Jon. Ground Zero is Still Killing. We will not go silently.
Nobody denies 9/11 responders deserve proper medical treatment, but John stewart is just doing this shit to grand stand. Hes a sanctimonious prick. Everything he does, he does so that he can be seen doing it.
That bastard is worth over 100 million dollars. If the plight of 9/11 responders medical treatment was truly paramount to him, he would have simply paid these expenses out of pocket in secret.
But that wouldn't set the internet on fire with small minded dupes saying "Gee, what a great guy John Stewart is, he can piss on my face if he wants to."
John Libowitz is literally using 9/11 responders to glorify himself, and ALLL you idiot's are falling for it.
Stewart has NOTHING to say – after being a first class liar and political propagandist disguised as "comedy. Stewart gets up and there pretends to make "jokes" which are actually a form of persuasion to win people over to a particular political view – that it pretends to be non-political and all for "fun" is an obscene deception. Stewart has thrown his weight behind the effort to turn the people against Trump.
John love your input please get off your ass and run for office sincerely the American people
So 9/11 first responders should get a degree of consideration that others don’t? There are people who face these same health issues because of years of work but because it was not on 9/11 they are ignored.
Who's the ass in red on her phone as a older man on his 69th chemotherapy is begging. Send me names. I got beef with her.
Thank you Jon Stewart for standing up for America's true standards when our politicians forget to "hold these truths".
This is why the America people should flat out refuse to pay any taxes until the system gets its shit together. If they decide to come after us? OPEN FIRE ON THEIR ASSES!

Amazing. Those hero’s deserve every cent of those greedy congress’ money. Can we have a man in support of women’s rights do something to this extent to ensure women continue to uphold their rights? It seems that emotional testimonies are only taken seriously when given by men. Love John Stewart with all my heart!
NEWS FLASH: THE GOVERNMENT HAS 0 DOLLARS….. YOUR SUEING THE TAXPAYER. . VERY SAD BUT WE CANT PAY EVERY VICTIM FOR HAVING BAD LUCK…. THIS IS JUST FACTS
