NSIAP.
Jon Stewart delivered an epic speech in front of Congress today on behalf of the 9/11 first responders. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. These men and women need our help.

They've already paid 5 billion and now they are requested for more.
How much more do they fricking need?

I’m with you.
How can 1/2 the country be salivating to give free healthcare to illegal aliens but not take care of our first responders?

It’s not the job of the government to take care of people. No one gets special treatment. The reason they’re in such bad shape is probably because they’ve been holed up in a government hospital

Are you people seriously questioning the first responders on 9/11 and why they need medical care funding?
Do some research. A ton of the first responders are developing the same cancers and the research says it's all related to the carcinogens from 9/11.
Go to the 9/11 Memorial. These people are heroes. They are not looking for a handout. They just want to not go bankrupt from getting medical care for ailments they got responding on 9/11.
Is our country really so callous and perverse that we question their motives?
Sad. People on this board are sad.

Holy hell. This should be required viewing for all Americans.

That was very moving and honest. I wish he'd knight for teh VA.
And as serious as this is, Stewart still manages to be funnier than Trevor Noah.

Our government gives billions in aid and weapons every year to Saudi Arabia, the country most responsible for 9/11. They don't give a shite.

This was excellent

Damn that was great. I choked up a few times. Appreciate you posting it. 69 chemo treatments. Unreal

not to sound uncaring, but you sign up for a job like that and don't expect that bad things could happen? It seems like the dangers of the job are already factored in to the pay and benefits.

I do not know what it’s going to take for this country to understand, our overlords in D.C. do not give one single iota of a frick about us unwashed masses out here that sent them to that city of sodom and Gomorrah in the first place.

Yeah, Stewart killed that speech. He's a great orator.
Posted on 6/12/19 at 9:39 am to RollTide1987
Just getting back to the OP, that speech had so many powerful moments. Thank you for posting it.

In the clip, Stewart is pissed at the incompetence of a governmental entity... Yet, from what I remember of his show, he is generally in favor of giving the government more power (or, at least, ridiculing those who want to rein it in).
