Jon Stewart was not competing with anybody, the 'worthy' make themselves self evident as the winners, in competition. Competition by nature is very self rewarding, Jon Stewart was fighting for others. Those involved in a selfless act rarely see themselves worthy of praise. The only thing that may come close to a selfless act in sports is passing the ball to somebody with a better shot, when perhaps your own look isn't terrible. But even that is in service of your own team.

After years of success and making millions of dollars, what does this man do in retirement? Fights for the rights of Firefighters, Police Officers and EMTs. This is the example of a real man, a real American. He wants no rewards, no attention. He just wants to do what is right.

And when the government did what bad governments do, and wore those men like cheap suits on camera for photoshoots and campaign slogans, Jon pointed it out. When the government did what bad governments do, and forgot about these responders existed by the next news cycle, Jon pointed it out. When the government did what bad governments do, and refused to help these people who were now dealing with injuries and illnesses the contracted from doing the very heroic act that the politicians exploited them for, Jon went on the air, on a comedy show, and instead of telling a joke, HE POINTED IT OUT. He has spoken out for these men and women constantly. He has walked and fought with them, side by side, trying to get them the justice and the care they most desperately need. Even when others forgot about them, or abandoned them, he hasn't. He's added his influence, and here he is doing it again. No one would have heard about these hearings if Jon wasn't on screen. So, I say again, Jon would be the first to agree with you. It should be the first responders up on the screen getting the help they need, that they earned a thousand times over in one morning, and at a terrible price. But I guarantee you, those first responds would disagree ENTIRELY. They would tell you that he IS one of them. This video was about them TELLING HIM they embrace him as one of their ow . No, he was not there that morning or in the weeks that followed in the pile. But he WAS there for almost two decades and he had their backs. You disrespect him? Then you disrespect them.

No only shame on Dems. We republicans support the troops by sending them into illegal aggressive wars based on lies for money, and our first responders by making sure we don’t spend money on them. Fiscal responsibility. But also cops should never go to jail, defense contractors should get all the billions they lobby for, but we can’t let these 9/11 first responders live because it would set an example of laziness for the rest of the moochers who refuse to work with terminal illness. But I guess Dems are somehow equally culpable, despite voting for this. Sigh , why can’t we all just get along?

@@jonsubs9998 Stewart is more than just a comedian. He's a comedian, writer, producer, director, activist, political commentator, actor, and television host. He sometimes used _The Daily Show_ to argue for causes such as the treatment of veterans and 9/11 first responders. He is credited with breaking a Senate deadlock over a bill to provide health care and benefits for 9/11 emergency workers; the bill passed three days after he featured a group of 9/11 responders on the show. In March 2009, he criticized a White House proposal to remove veterans from Veterans Administration rolls if they had private health insurance; the White House dropped the plan the next day. In February 2019 and June 2019 he again went to Congress to oppose a planned cut in pay-outs to 9/11 responders and to lobby for permanent funding for the Victims Compensation Fund, set to expire in 2020, delivering a tearful testimony. He used his star power to bring more awareness of this situation to the American public.
