Jon Stewart slams Congress over benefits for 9/11 first responders

1. Video length is 9:11 👀

2. It’s a wonderful speech. It truly is. I really appreciate it. Health care and benefits. Wonder if he will fight for all the Nurses, CNA’s, Med-Techs, and Doctors that have died from Covid-19???? Or are they not heroes?

3. Never forget these damn congressmen tried screwing 9/11 first responders

4. The real question is why is this video long 9.11

5. Speak Jon!!!!!

6. I find myself coming back to this every so often, it’ll never get old and never not given me chills. Everyone should see this. Everyone should feel the power in his voice.

7. Wow I found a human being in NY.

8. This is way we need to get have limits on people serving in congress and we shouldn't have to pay them for doing nothing

9. Too bad that comedians, unlike clowns like Trump, don't run for presidency.

10. Jon Stewart is a hero.

11. Greatest country on earth, you have the worst way of showing it. You can't give yourself that title and then discard the people that made that title possible. What the hell is wrong with you people. Jon Stewart should run for president and you guys slave to make that possible. FACT !!!.

12. I hope he runs for and takes the presidency in my lifetime!

13. put some motivational music in the background and experience his speech on a different level

14. the roman empire took good care of their own. for all our advancements there are still some things we just cant get right. the roman empire would have paid all their medical bills and gave them rent and tax free homes,because thats what the roman empire did just for its soldiers alone. i was a first responder during 9/11, and im one of tje lucky few that didnt get sick from it, but these people deserve this aid. we send billions out all around the world every year to help others and youre tellin me we cant send even 1billion to fund this? unreal

15. God bless you sir. Very difficult speech do you gave him percentage and you did with such prestige in honor and politeness. I hope that someday my children will watch this and share this with their friends at their young age or when they’re older to understand what happened.

16. I'm not a conspiracy theorist so don't start…but why are all the people behind him not in tears thinking about that day and their fallen brothers and sisters and why do they keep looking at the camera like there is a sign on top telling them what to do? Maybe it's just me, but thank you to those that served and those that were left behind #YouAreNotForgotten

17. All the 336 thumbs down must be in congressman

18. Politicians never have enough money for a humanitarian health issue within their own country but when it comes to a pay rise or a corporate prop up, the money is limitless!!!?

19. For once in his life, Stewart stood up for the right thing

20. 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?

21. A standing ovation from the crowd and a smattering of embarrassed applause from the stage, what an image

22. How can you argue with truth?

23. I can't stand weepy voices on TV. They feel contrived and scripted. Everybody these days is weepy and overly emotional. Grammys, reality shows, infomercials,presidential campaigns.

    Stop giving weepy speeches and realize that politicians are not running for office to solve your problems, but to advance their power.

    No one ever made it to US congress because they were weepy sniveling delicate flowers. So Stop with your drama class trained on queue crying techniques.

24. I can hear it in his voice the strain he has to put to resist the urge of swearing a lot…

25. Is it coincidental that this video is 9:11 long ?

26. That there is a unique individual. Amazing statement.

    All the committee members looking at each other before they start clapping, what a shower of slugs.
