Say it louder for the people in the back. Or the people that won't show up for congressional meetings. Their jobs.

It’s crazy . Especially given Jon is still fighting the good fight and being a voice for those who don’t have one . Like when he yelled at congress for voting against the PACT act for veterans . This man is a comedian and has done more for veterans and 9/11 first responders than politicians . Not to mention he’s been consistent since the beginning. He’s one of the biggest patriots I’ve seen and as a veteran I have nothing but the utmost respect for Jon . He is also receiving hate from the left too since he’s critical of Biden just as much as Trump . He actually sees things as it is . George Carlin was right about Jon showing us a lot of

This is an example on why suicide rates among the disabled are at an epidemic proportion across many demographics. '17-CV-02954-KLM Operation: Crucified Serpent They want to talk about how broken Socialism and Venezuela are among other places; yet, our own public servants don't even get an honest benefits application process. Can't really say Capitalism controlled by corporations and lobbyists works any better. Average wait time at the VA is 7-8 years. The process becomes unconstitutional after the first year, being a legal process handled by lawyers and judges. They have no motivation to decide on claims quickly, veterans get zero interest on backpay regardless how long the claim takes to decide favorably. They need to keep mortality rates up and that is why our leaders have no intention of fixing the system they already know is broken. While it doesn't work for the population, it is working for someone. Whoever those people are, our leaders would rather challenge and wrong us than protect our rights from whatever that group is, which is supposed to be their tax-paid purpose. They could fix these issues; yet, stubbornly refuse to. I've proven it with my own lawsuit, Mr. Stewart has proven it with this documented Congressional visit. Jon Stewart if you see this, following in my footsteps will help us solve this problem. If you are that mad about all this and believe it's time something gets done, there is no other realistic alternative so far. Anyone affected by such issues caused by this government, can utilize the option I came up with to mitigate problems with a 60 year history of murdering countless...often times causing victims such economic or social turmoil that they take their own lives.

@@danakissmgrits2624 The US government is cold hearted and evil. They don't give a damn about their firefighters, police or military. 9/11 was an inside job.

@@mattsmith1039 I dont think thats necesssarily true. But those who gain power and influence are most certainly corrupted.

@@SaishoVibesHe should run for president, he would have my vote.

There's a reason they want to increase congressional pay, but it's frankly a bad faith argument. They want to deter people from accepting outside money from corporate donors or lobbyists and providing them with more money passively is supposed to fix that by being a deterrent. Trusting everyone to do this in good faith is ridiculous. You need a law to accompany this change and force them to not accept money from outside their position.

A raise? You know in the real world we have to do a good job for a long time to "EARN" a raise.

I wish the American people could give job performance evaluations on congress. I live in TX did anyone else in other states get the ACLU survey about POTUS? It was a hit piece and then asking for $.

You meant to say they are shameless. No morals, no ethics, no hearts, no brains. DemonRats are the enemies of this country.

I just voted to give myself a raise! Thank God for me!

Mr. Stewart went to Washington

... there are* some decent people left in America. They just seem to get fewer.

The decent people in this country don't go on a soap box for attention. In Jon's case, it's his job, and he takes it seriously (even though it's comedy).

@@einundsiebenziger5488Nope, there are more than you think, they are just not loud and obnoxious. See: current election results. Republicans are being kicked out of every state in this country.

Many of us want to strive to be like him (or Ryan Reynolds)... But, when surrounded by those who want to take, our walls have to be high. IMO.

Decent people are everywhere. They stay off Tik Tok and Insta to do real things with their community and families.

I think you can add to this and say a true patriot does not play team sports with politics. A true patriot focuses on the issues that face the common citizen and addresses them, regardless of what the stance of any political party is. Jon Stewart is undoubtedly a patriot, as he fights for what he thinks is right, regardless of his personal benefit. Politicians for the most part are not patriots. The only one I can think of who was in recent years, would be John McCain, who often had voted against his own party for what he believed was right.

You couldn't have said it better. One (including a nation) cannot grow and evolve without constructive criticism when it's much needed. A true "patriot" indeed.

9-11 should be investigated again and the perpetrators should be brought to justice .it was an inside job .

Damn preach some more to us reverend

👏👏👏

Also watching in 2024, and you could see his guilty conscience! Maybe he wanted to go cry in private? Nah!

he also laughed in the middle of it, look at 7:01 when he says they didn't shout "death the tribeca" ... he's laughing

WTF are you all on about? I'm no fan of Mike Johnson but at no point in the clip does he leave or even look like he's laughing at Jon's Tribeca joke. He actually looks contrite when Jon calls him out. He is literally one of the few members of congress actually clapping after Jon is done speaking. There are only three people clapping for Jon on the panel and that is Johnson, Nadler, and Raskin.

Amen to that my friend. It should never matter how you/we vote. We come together to help those in need without asking "who did you vote for" but our govt will not come together for we the people

We're they're more GOP or DEMS present?

@@joshuakillingsworth8366 There were more Democrats present.

True, you'd think it'd be this way, but it's not. It's the majority of Republicans that have been consistently blocking this bill and cutting funding for the healthcare of first responders. This isnt the first time it happened. Also it was majority of Republicans that didn't even bother to show up.

You are so right. It is a American issue and we all need to remember that. They were there when we needed them now it is our turn to be there for them.

Another Aussie agrees with you. Jon Stewart is a treasure.

It's from breathing in a mixture of aluminum and rust from the thermite that took down the building

Good humans are humans first and foremost not nationals

Major issues for everyone that was on the pile and for those that were part of the rebuild.

Guess I'm in that .9% because I think it's wrong on a number of ways. For one,how does anyone prove that these illness were caused by 9-11 ? You know folks get cancer and lung issues who never get near bad dust/chemicals,smoke etc? What I have a problem with Stewart is his trotting out sick folks,that he can't say for sure why or how they got sick,and then shames us all for not helping when there were tons of money donated by all kinds of charities when this happened.Those folks should be helped just like every other person---either disability or private health insurance.

@@captinbeyond uh .9%? Check your math.

@@caroabbottbronze dont acknowledge this lesser human beings. Didnt even bother to watch the clip. There is irrefutable evidence that the dust and bomb residue from the towers caused these illnesses. Just let that person who cant even do math suffer in a sunken place all on their own. Lord bless these Patriots for their services.

@Fire&Ice909 You missed my point in all this. For one thing,we have spent billions for medical care and it seems to never be enough. Have you seen how much we've spent already? Where did that money go? My guess it went to anyone and everyone who walked up saying they had health issues related to the fire and they were covered whether they were first resonders or not. Someone needs to watch were the money goes,and make sure it goes to those who really deserve it.

Not if they're gop

I tend to side with Mr. Stewart on a lot of issues, but you're proving with your comment the truth of the matter. This has absolutely nothing to do with politics. This has to do with showing the people who gave of themselves on one of the worst days in American history the common decency and respect they deserve, to take care of the people who did everything to take care of us. Thank you for looking at this with clear eyes despite differences with the person speaking for our first responders. Respect.

Just remember he's not exactly on either "team" when it comes to the parties. He's on the Left, but in the sense of the Real Left that wants to actually help people. They want to take care of people's healthcare and education. They want to help the poor and stop homelessness. Look at the Democrats' agenda today, those who call themselves "Left" or "liberal".

The government has failed the people I might add. Especially first responders.

They’ll give all of our money to illegals, to the people that delegate ‘crumbs’ to impoverished people. While the government administrations get the bulk of the money for doing nothing.

Congress is the mirror everyone looks in to see what they are really thinking and feeling, what type of people Americans are really like in a nutshell. If you want to see what Americans are like on the inside, you'll see it looking at Congress. You're quick to blame Congress, but America keeps voting these filthy reps in, and if you don't then all the people who AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE you won't pull the trigger on to shut them out, border apocalypse notwithstanding. You're not doing a thing about social justice, the justice double standard, "immigration" being a full emergency and a crisis, racial hodgepodge, illegitimacy, rising Socialism, the crimes of the Democrats, the onslaught of the Left, abortion or gay marriage; WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU EXPECT CONGRESS TO DO ANY BETTER...???

For Glory! Actually, that’s not correct. That’s just your opinion. The Democrats project. Washington is a uniparty. That’s why they are not here. It’s not America. Washington thinks it’s royalty.
