Jon Stewart Defends Veterans Looking For Burn Pit Relief | NBC News NOW
The liar Chief have no respect for our Veterans, Republicans have Defund Veterans
Darrel House, who are you talking to
@Yo Jo nom nom
Darrel House, it’s shocking people forget nearly 5,000 us military personnel died under George w Bush. Most in Iraq alone.
@Yo Jo i know it
I joined the Army as a Republican and left a Democrat. Republicans talk a big game over the Vets but the reality is this, they gut the VA on a regular base then make the claim that the system is broken (which they broke) and then push their privatization agenda…. rinse and repeat. The Democrats are usually (not always) responsible for pushing VA funding which the Republicans eventually give in once the conversation hits the US diner tables.
Support the vets! Get rid of Pelosi!!!!!
The most corrupt administrations in my lifetime have all been Republican: Nixon, Reagan, GW Bush and Trump. When Republicans rule, there is more oppression, inequality and suffering! Trump and his supporters are enemies of America, Domestic Terrorists!
She’s not the one who supports bounties on the troops you paid Russian Troll..
@gutzy19 CKG
I’m not sure these Russian trolls receive monetary payment. I have a feeling they’re either under the threat of falling out of a window or being poisoned!
@S. Don https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_web_brigades
@TooSlowTube wonder how much they get when the President of the United States retweets their posts…
Thank God for Jon Stewart who has fought tirelessly for our veterans and for first responders at 9/11. He alone has made a difference in helping them get what they are due.
He got a large portion of the 9/11 money….
And he does not pay his property taxes on his mansion…
He is a con man that fools morons
@discorperted proof or shut up
Please Interview Dr. Bandy X. Lee, Yale School of Medicine wrote May 13th in the DC Report, “Genocide: Trump’s Final Solution To Immigrants And Minorities “Let’s Call His Purposeful Bungling of the Pandemic Response What It Is—Genocide. According to the United Nation’s Genocide Convention, the perpetration of genocide requires an “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” Since the White House itself has acknowledged the disproportionate deadly effects of the virus on minority communities, the intent can no longer be denied.” I would include the elderly & other vulnerable populations. Trump doesn’t need gas chambers when he’s got COVID. And please keep questioning Mr. Woodward’s myopic & unethical four plus month delay on releasing vital information. He knew “what & when” about a couple hundred thousand lifetimes ago…- Thank you NBC & Mr. Stewart.
It would be nice if we could get help for the Vets who served at Ft. McClellan too.
As a military veteran, thank you @jon stewart for standing up for military service members as well as first responders, if he ever decided to run for office, whether for Congress or President, I would vote for him
Same
You would have thought it gotten better since Agent Orange the government always likes to wait till a few have died that way they save some money. When there’s only a few left the science will be there.
They are STILL fighting THOSE diseases whenever they can. The VA is of the opinion that it’s job is to make sure the Veterans get RIPPED OFF by the Government whenever possible.
I’ve yet to see a better example of human decency than John Stewart.
Darrel House OP wrote about “human decency” and you mentioned Trump…. 😂😂😂
@Minnie Granger Trump is the greatest president america has ever seen.!!!Its about time you open your eyes!!
Darrel House Two words: Fact check.
How about holding the companies that did this responsible?
The ones Jon Stewart has investments in…
Can you site your sources please?
Trump has done a wonderful job. So good he needs to go
TRUMP 2020
When 9/11 happened, the GW Bush fought AGAINST helping first responders. It took almost 10 years for Republicans to partially help first responders. Even now, Republicans hate veterans and our troops!
Emmett Lee do some research. It was Hillary Clinton who fought for 9/11 first responders when she was NY state Senator. You’re a moron, like most Trump supporters, have no idea what reality is!
@Corey Mondello what do you mean. I did do my research. Are you saying trump didn’t give records funding to the military and a pay raise while under the Obama administration Military funding had a sequester.
@Corey Mondello I would love for you to explain how I am wrong.
I don’t think they hate our troops… The Republicans are all about privatizing everything to the extent that they will (and have) de-funded VA programs to help make their point. I’d simply say that they love money more than Vets because that’s easier to find supporting proof for.
@Emmett Lee Let me help Corey out here… https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/may/10/donald-trump/did-donald-trump-sign-first-military-pay-raise-10-/
The media cannot win the next coming election. Only those who helped Veterans will win the mind of the veterans’ votes actually.
Vote TRUMP for police, law and order🇺🇸🦅
@Trevor Sole Kirschner is. I’d have gone with tax evasion, but:
“Former Federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner: Trump has committed second degree murder.”

“Former Federal prosecutor and current NBC News legal analyst Glenn Kirschner told SiriusXM radio’s Dean Obeidallah that Trump’s intentional lies about Covid has raised the charges Trump should face from manslaughter to second degree murder.”
@Dan M Like this?
“Bill Bar Again Tries to Protect & Defend Donald Trump, This Time in E. Jean Carrol Defamation Suit”

“When E. Jean Carroll reported that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990, Trump called her a liar and said he didn’t do it, using as a defense that “she’s not my type.” Ms. Carrol filed suit in New York state court for defamation, claiming that Trump lied about her.
The suit was about to proceed to discovery and Trump would have had to produce a DNA sample and sit for a sworn deposition. Then . . . in gallops Bill Barr. Barr is trying to invoke the Federal Tort Claims Act to transfer the case from state court to federal court and remove Trump from the suit altogether and substitute the USA/DOJ as the party/respondent instead.
In essence, Barr is trying to use our taxpayer dollars to mount the defense of Trump’s misconduct. Here is how the Federal Tort Claims Act works and here are the possible outcomes of Barr’s attempted abuse of the law to protect Donald Trump from being held accountable for his misconduct.”
@Dan M ou, so you just want laws to apply to minorities? Got it 😉
Trevor Sole so you think that minorities are the only ones on the streets?
Hahaha!! That’s funny 🤣😂
Isn’t this like the 10th time he does this now?
I am part of the camp lejeune water study our president our Congress our Senate the Marine corps our full of s*** they do not take care of their veterans
its sad that he has to fight for this every year but im glad he does
Thank you, Jon.
America/NBC News… Jon Stewart, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. Chuck Schumer,
It’s absolutely obvious like “AGENT ORANGE” war veterans looking for “BURN PIT RELIEF,”
deserve to be “MEDICALLY & MONETARILY COMPENSATED” for their honorable service and sacrifices to the U.S.A. as brave veteran war fighters.
IF, the Trump administration & some Congress members, can approve funding for undocumented women… being forced to have egregious unethical and illegal hysterectomies,
through possible government fraud, waste, and abuse… they can approve funding for…
brave war veteran fighters “BURN PIT RELIEF COMPENSATION FUNDING.”
IF, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy can continue to get highly paid… while under investigation
for alleged campaign finance violations…the “BURN PIT RELIEF COMPENSATION FUNDING” should be “IMMEDIATELY APPROVED.” IF, Michael Caputo can be “Communications Chief”
for HHS talking “Russian Propaganda Conspiracy Hogwash,” the “BURN PIT RELIEF” should
be approved. IF. President Donald J. Trump can host private meetings and gatherings… inside the people’s White House, with Rudy Giuliani and ex-Russian mafia members at taxpayers expense… Congress can approve the “BURN PIT RELIEF COMPENSATION FUNDING.”
Our taxpayers are currently paying, millions upon millions for President Trump’s golf trips.
Would anyone consider President Donald J. Trump playing golf, more important than brave troops risking their lives at war, wounded warriors being seriously injured during war or veterans suffering from BURN PIT INJURIES, WHILE FIGHTING TO PROVE THEIR INJURIES WERE CAUSED… DURING THEIR PREVIOUS TIMES FIGHTING IN VARIOUS WARS???
These brave veterans and war fighters were not experiencing these horrific medical problems
and multiple similar symptomatic illnesses, until they were brave enough to fight and defend our Nation during these ‘chemical agent induced wars.”
Congress shouldn’t make these brave veteran war fighter heroes, and their families suffer heartbreak, disappointing discouraging emotional and physical hardships… like the “AGENT ORANGE BRAVE VETERANS” suffered for many years until their MEDICAL TREATMENTS AND COMPENSATIONS WAS EVENTUALLY APPROVED.
.
Trump lied to the American people about Covid.
Finally something Democrats and Republicans can lock hands and fight for together.
Curt W Republicans, even John McCain voted against helping active and retires military!
@Corey Mondello yeah, I’m calling for them to stop the nonsense. My hair fell out, my blood labs are a mess and my kidney is messed up. My name has been sitting on a burn pit registry for 5 years collecting dust. I’ll be okay but others are dying everyday. Bums on both sides need to pass this bill no matter how much they hate one another right now. And I’m under the belief the hate is fake half of DC lives with one another in a rooming house and drink beers together.
If only the people who currently run this country had a fraction of this man’s passion, honor and integrity. Jon Stewart, you are a national treasure.
Well we might not have enough money for them because TRUMPY needs to play more golf at tax payers expense…..
Why anyone would work for the government baffles me!
There’s no loyalty there!
We see it time and time again!
GAZA FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM . FREE PALESTINIANS AND ASSANGE
Donald Trump doesn’t care you could do whatever you want you guys are voting for him and he still don’t give a f*** about America you guys voted for him now you got to deal with it and you want Donald Trump to be a president again no that’s up to y’all
And you guys are complaining all the time Donald Trump doesn’t care not even supporters not even Republicans doesn’t care about America people in America he say the troops are losers and suckers
Biden Harris 2020🌊🌊🌊🌊🇺🇸🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏 let’s make this America great again vote vote vote God bless are American troops and American people
Yay yeah lets vote for the neolib party that gave us tRump, and all of the wars we are fighting, that have done NOTHING to oppose him, aside from making ip and running with one baseless russian conspericy theory after another, that refuses to even consider m4a or anything to help anyone but their corporate lobbyists and elite. Till the Clinton /Obama influence and power over the party is taken out the (appointed 4 yrs ago by HRC president Kamala Harris will be your reality. Locking more poor people in prizon starting in schools. Making generations of people who are banned from voting, thst doesnt sound at all liberal sounds very republican. Wh yy are you pledging votes to those who laugh at your suffering
@Kaile Taylor u must get your info from fox fake news because your comment makes no sense and contradicts itself. Neolibs have nothing to do with the trump administration. They hate trump. Anyone with common sense does
I POLUTED YOUR COUNTRY AND THE WIND BLEW MY WAY . CAN YOU HELP ME ? Depleted uranium armaments and phosphorous , etc . were delivered by these mercenaries of evil . getting paid for service ? Murder is service ?
Aman!! John Stewart for President 2024

GOD BLESS THE VETERANS🙏🙏🙏🙏
The Republican Party is anti-Troops and Vets. Even John McCain voted against helping active and retired military!
I don’t like 99% of his stances but I’m super glad he’s taken up these issues. He’s a really good speaker and doing something good.
Is a program that Bobby should watch
Way to go Jon.
Once. they.returned, Its.not sensational, not emotional, not patriotic anymore. Americans are.war craving drama queens!
Our government really sucks.
People can’t face the fact that I I’m sorry to say our government probably did that to our veterans on purpose.
It’s sick twisted how money and politics invaded our government the corruption is overwhelming there’s no way to be righteous and having integrity when everyone else is intent on making wealth and not caring about American lives our veterans are first responders I don’t know what the answer is seems like the politicians are all the same they’re they’re worst of all people combined they’re the same just different whether you put a republican hat on or a Democrat hat there’s still the same they don’t care about the people
or the veterans or the
first responders they just lied through their teeth
until they get caught red-handed and then they never admit guilt
what a life
❤️ our government should be ashamed we love our veterans we don’t we can’t thank you enough someone’s got to do something but how?
I’d say putting them on the record that’s good with that’s good that’s very good
You are right and I agree I agree we all agree with this.
Exactly just like how the myth breakers
Make up one of those pits throw all of these people in it that are withholding the funds it’s our money you put in on this I put in on this they should listen and they shouldn’t be so slow to act they shouldn’t have to be made to do the right thing but that’s the way I’m afraid it is the way it is these days how sick twisted
Come back Jon
JON WE LOVE YOU..❗❗😇
JESUS LOVES YOU. come back. 💚
Does anyone know what the distraction was in the background that happened on the steps of congress while they were speaking
I see a lot of veterans go homeless… why?
Have i you you asked 1 ?
https://youtu.be/fKlvwPRh-ok
Do you think you are born again just because you go to a church? Not all churches declare the Truth. On the contrary, your church could be a completely worldly church. For your own soul, you must come out of the churches that use the Bible but do not declare the Truth and speak lies differing from the bible. Hear what the Spirit of Truth says to the churches and receive the eternal gospel
Thx u
Stewart 2020!…. is it too late to get him on the ballot?
Defund the police and the give it to the veterans.
Thank you mr Stewart for caring about the veterans.
Jon your a lovely man…..BUT WAKE UP!!!!!…..9/11 was not a terrorist attack……it has been proved that the 3 WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolition!!……planned in advance….there is a MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE wake up Jon….we love you..
MAGA 2020
Jon Stewart’s back babbbyyyy
Trump administration has already stole the money I bet
Maybe if you hadn’t made a career out of mocking conservatives , your voice might carry more weight . Too bad . Really good cause .
We pay for the life course of a condition in healthcare depending on their condition, do something similar with veterans
How about Vietnam Vets being exposed to Agent Orange?!
Trump would call these victims: “Losers” and “Suckers”.
Just like he ignores the 200,000 Americans who have died from the TRUMP-PENCE VIRUS (covid-19).
Why. Stops
