An example of what true CITIZENSHIP is…Jon Stewart shows how the Founding Fathers meant Representative Government to work. This, without doubt, had to be the greatest, most passionate plea before Congress ever made and IT WORKED!!! I cannot say enough about Stewart's driven impulse to speak on behalf of those heroic souls and I, for one, feel ashamed that I admittedly do not have the balls to do the same. Bravo Jon Stewart, you've gone up appreciably in my book!!!
the Lady in the Red Dress on the committee couldn't even muster a clap at the end, clearly dead inside!she was a thumbs down i bet hope she is no longer in Congress! Great Job John!
18 years….. no words. Politicians – all of them who blocked that for so long- should never be able to sleep ever again in peace a day of their miserable pathetic lives.
He’s right, America is great because its people, not the institutions of government that have been twisted by Lawyers and abused by the corrupt and wealthy to serve corporations (which were made illegal when this nation was formed because the danger they posed). Perhaps supporting the people of this nation can again become the focus of the government of this nation.
Jon Stewart, an amazing man simply because he is the voice of sanity and reason in a world that seems to have absolutely none. Thank you Jon for all you do, did and will continue to do.
The USA can not print money for the 9/11 fire fighters survivors BUT CAN SURE PRINT 36 TRILLION DOLLARS FOR BIG CORPORATIONS WHO THEN FIRED OVER 20000 EMPLOYEES AFTER RECEIVING THE BAILOUT FROM THE FEDS.. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS A FAILED STATE.
Where have all the liberals gone??? I don't think they exist anymore, because they use to be like John Stewart. The ones who would hold their own accountable as well..
John Stewart is a good man, who happens to be on the other side of the political spectrum. It used to be that such a thing didn’t make people enemies. I have many liberal friends. I don’t shove my opinions down their throat and vice versa. We just enjoy each other’s company.
I think this is one of the only fox news videos I've ever liked, and rightfully so. This is disgraceful that Congress would not do their job, not do what needed to be done to save the lives of the men and women who risked their's, this is an atrocity. I believe I am reiterating the sentiment of many others in these comments, but we must enact term limits to rid Congress of these vile, these narcissistic, these selfish people who only care about getting enough votes to receive their paycheck. SHAME. ON. YOU.
I still remember watching his monologue after the attack happened. I was young then, but it always stood out to me. It's amazing watching John not just say the words in that monologue but held those feelings in his heart and pushed them to stand up for those who don't have a voice but were so critical towards our coming back from that tragedy.
911 first responders are modern day heroes. I don't know why we insisted on ignoring them for so long.
I agree 10000000x. I am always the person who brings up money when politicans want to spend it and mention the national debt. But when it comes to 9/11 first responders America. ALL OF AMERICA owes them whatever they need. When it comes to these people no is not an answer.
Every one of them who did not show up whether they were Democrat or Republican, should be voted out of office immediately!! No Question!!! Full Stop!!!
I'm english but got to say damn! That good man tore your congress a new one. Respect and good wishes to all those first reponders. Hope you get what you deserve. xx
It shouldn't take a RETIRED COMEDIAN to tell a group of people ELECTED TO OFFICE FOR AND BY THE PEOPLE their job and how they should work FOR those who help everyone. It's unbelievable, totally embarrassing, for me and it should be for the American people.
They got billions of dollars.
These screaming widows.
Bloomturd canceled rebuilding the WTC and had the current farce in its place now.
What is this clown babbling on about?
What else do they want? These moaners are worse than the holocuast vitcims.
Never Forget™
Patrick Henry vibes.
Veterans are getting screwed by the burn pits we lived next to

Jesus… I'm speechless.
Here, Jon is speaking to a brick wall. They DIDN'T hear a WORD Jon said. SHAME ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When journalists had integrity. This only strengthens democracy.
18 years….. no words. Politicians – all of them who blocked that for so long- should never be able to sleep ever again in peace a day of their miserable pathetic lives.
I wish more politicians would be like John Stewart. Most of them are crooks and lazy entitled privileged low humans.
Thanks Jon Steward. Im sorry im seeing this a year late. But this is still continuing.
Limits for all 👍🇺🇸

Right behind him is an overweight Matt Damon.
This haunts me a year later with the coronavirus and the holding of PPE for our hospitals that the federal government are keeping for themselves.
Stewart For President!

I love that guy. He's the real deal in a sea of bureaucratic hypocrites.
Nothing but respect for this man.
He almost, almost dropped that F-bomb at 4:25
Why not bill the Saudis?
The most powerful speech I've ever heard! God bless you Jon!

Jon Stewart is a little too liberal on many issues but this one?? He Is 110% On Point!!!

Better take care of each other I guess. 👊🏻
American Congress have to pay the bill and honor those heroes. They give their lives and went into a true hell trying to safe lives. Wake Up America!
So campaign against the democratic party’s candidates like you do the republicans! This is just talk!
Wait I thought trump fixed this. Ha
How could anyone hit the dislike button for this video?
