Why tf is that terrorist standing behind Stewart? Freakin un believable
As an Environmental Engineer I hate to disagree. The day of the attack I was yelling at the TV to get respirators on those rescue workers and clear everyone off Manhattan leaving only those in the least impacted area. I have no proof by I am sure the people in charge knew the level of asbestos would be very high as well as plastics, pulverized glass, jet fuel and more. In a time of extreme crisis people went to work and said the hell with PPE’s. I get that, but as the days wore on they should have been in protective suits and respirators. It can take up to 30 years for Mesothelioma to develope from contact with asbestos. We have not seen the end to this illness.
Mayor Guliani - and he has the nerve to tell Zohran not to attend the memorial? F*k that guy…
I just don't get that comment, as a British electrician I was saying whilst watching it happen the death toll would be far worse over time because that much asbestos, and silica dust wouldn't just disappear without killing thousands. Anyone who's ever worked in the building trade knew this. I don't know what H&S training went on in the US but we've had to have annual training on this for the most of the past 40yrs in Britain.
Yup. Back to business. Pure capitalism. That’s US.
Newsflash! This coverup is Trump's current Model of Government! MAGA!
Run for President
Hold these people accountable! They need to be put on trial znd face the consequences of the extra deaths, and life's their actions forever changed.
Sorry I have no sympathy. After the Covid cover up which all these people had a role in I’ll never give two fucks about something from 20 years ago. If Dr. Fauci said the air was fine y’all would be out running around in it 🙄.
Is he referring specifically to asbestos and heavy metals, or to the broader mix of contaminants released after the collapse? Given the age and construction of the buildings, I’d assume both were present.
Thank you Jon Stewart for your faithful perseverance to this cause.
Jon 2028. We know who he fights for
Sell out piece of trash. Definition of a K-word
Jon shows what strength in masculinity actually means. Fighting for people who he loves and wants to help. Yup. That is strength to me.
Wash and kiss his feet Jon. He's got you far beyond lost residing deep in his asshole.
Mamdani caring more about 9/11 victims and families than any mayor since 9/11
“They instead covered it up to get back to business”. Similar thing is happening now where they aren’t educating people about the continued risk of serious harm Covid carries each time you get infected with it. We need to do more than call out previous harms and ways people’s lives were treated as valueless and expendable. We need to change and value people’s lives and health. Let’s turn nice words into actual action and do better.
Jon Stewart is a hero
Can he run for president? usually the people who aren't gunning for the job are the ones who'd be a good fit
Rudy was and still is garbage...
The Harding Memo (Oct. 2001 issued by Michelle Goldstein, an aide in the Mayor's Office under Rudy Giuliani) warned Deputy Mayor Robert Harding the city could face as many as 35,000 legal claims. The city's top priority was reopening Wall Street. <br>• Mayor Bloomberg era (2002–2013): A Law Department memo explicitly instructed: "DO NOT DISPOSE OF THESE DOCUMENTS: they must be preserved to serve as evidence in the event future WTC-related legal actions are brought against the City." So the records were deliberately preserved, but for legal defense, not public transparency. Mayor Bloomberg publicly doubled down on the "safe air" narrative: "Every test that has been done says the air quality was in acceptable limits." (Feb. 2002) <br>• Mayor de Blasio era (2014–2021): In 2021, Reps. Carmen Melina Maloney and Jerry Nadler formally requested the documents. De Blasio initially seemed open, but the city ultimately refused, at one point suggesting it might need additional indemnification before releasing them. <br>• Mayor Adams era (2022–2025): The city continued to refuse. The DEP denied the records existed for over 18 months, and a city attorney admitted in a deposition that he told the FOIL appeals officer there were no records without verifying that was true. <br><br>It was a consistent institutional pattern across four administrations: protect the city from liability, maintain the "air is safe" narrative, and deny the records existed. It only broke when 9/11 HEALTH WATCH went to court and won, leaving Mayor Mamdani NO CHOICE but to release them.
Mayor Rudy strikes again
SHAME
Of course it was poison air. It’s asbestos in the air and that’s why Silverstein blew up the buildings and made it look like a terrorist attack and then he received twice the amount of insurance claims and then there’s the whole bush saga. I mean come on you guys just think we really are still asleep. We found all this out over the years and now we know everything.
Terrorism destroyed 2 buildings and ruined the air in a way that the government could not predict or fix, so it's really NYC's fault.
And Giuliani did not care, because he was America’s mayor.😡😡😡😡😡
So Rudy says Mamdani shouldn’t be allowed at 9/11 ceremonies. Will he?
🙄
Bush was/is a disgusting individual. All the bombers were from Saudi and yet there is Bush hugging a Saudi prince not long after 9/11. That awful man knew who was involved and he did nothing.
👏🏻👍🏻🗽🧑🏻🚒🕊️🦅🇺🇸♥️
I PRAY THE NEXT ATTACK IS WAY FCN WORSE FOR AMERICANS!
People will still vote for Republicants even with all the damning evidence against them.
John Stewart for president.
I went down 2 days later the wreckage was surreal i was about 40 yards away my eyes started to get a burning sensation i turned around and walked up to little italy
Shut up you imbecile First Responders know the hazards of emergency calls that's why they wear masks
...and yet you think they're telling you the truth when they tell us that covid is gone and/or safe so wearing a mask is unnecessary. ok.
Every accusation by the republicans, right wingers, zios is a confession
Thank you Zohran! Not only did the evil government know and cover it up, they eventually withdrew healthcare coverage and benefits.
EPA head Christine Todd Whitman should be arrested.
We could have come together to take care of each other and heal. Instead we pointed our energy and resources to vengeance and abandoned our neighbors.
911 is about the victims and heroes. <br>He is diverting the attention away from those who have died that day . <br>Shame on him .
Thank you, John Stewart...I have family members that were on ground zero and.....🫷
You mean common Sense every person should have been using on their own. Every person has a responsibility to protect themselves first. Duhhhhhhh.
The worst terror attack in the US and this is how your government took care of your heroes and citizens?<br>It seems the administration didn’t actually care.
Who was mayor of New York then?
Then the govt used jet fuel on burn pits in Iraq. 😢.
Should we have evicted millions of people? Told the thousands of volunteers to not help? Let NYC be ruined for many more months or possibly years? I don’t know the answer but these guys will bash the US for just about anything they’re biased towards.
Remember all, it was ultimately the terrorists who did this - not your fellow Americans. <br><br>In this politically hot climate, don’t let that get lost this year as we commemorate a quarter century since that fateful day.
The dead eyes on that jihad loving socialist.
CNN is panicking after learning the US Supreme Court is currently considering an emergency appeal by Donald Trump and Solicitor General Sauer to REINSTATE US Postal Service mail-in ballot security rules<br><br>Do the RIGHT thing, SCOTUS! Activist Judge Indira Talwani is VASTLY overstepping her authority and siding with election cheaters<br><br>A response has been ordered by SCOTUS for mid-week, so we could get a ruling soon<br><br>WE NEED SECURE ELECTIONS! 🇺🇸
Protect this man always. My friend Dan Bakkedahl was a correspondent on the Daily Show (replaced Colbert when he retired) and he told me Stewart was a no fluff straight shooter and one of the smartest people he ever met. He had full respect for him because he earned it.
-Why?<br>-Because it´s cheaper.
Liberals always about hate America, never ever have a solution to anything other than stealing at the point of a gun from those that work.
He's so right facts everyone
We salute you Jon!
Thank you Mamdami, thank you Jon Stewart!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sit the f up creep
creepy woke Hollywood people should all shut the f up about everything. When are these people going to understand that them and their insane ideologies are not wanted except by other creepy woke insane retards.
That's why the rich are leaving NYC.....so that the lazy will have to start working
USGov are real POSs.
Maybe they did not want to cause a panic with everyone moving out of lower Manhattan because they were breathing in cancer dust
Hmm so the democratic socialist actually was transparent about cover ups, maybe this is why Rs are so scared of them
Mamdani is exactly what we need in our politics. Enough of the bullshit garbage that passes as politics in this country! We now know we can demand and expect much more! Thank you Mayor for showing us a better way forward!
"And remember kids, the next time that somebody tells you, 'the government wouldn't do that,' oh yes they would."
“How you doonnnnnnnnn”
What about the dancing Israelis?
This country has a LOT to answer for both then and NOW. Like 👉the Saudis attacked us on 9/11, hacks up US journalists.... but they've got big money so it's ok if we're allies and help them get nukes. WTF? 😑
Rudy, we petition that you not attend the memorial on 9/11 out respect for the families
This is so stupid. Of course, the air quality was bad. TWO BUILDINGS WERE CRASHED INTO.<br><br>Are we supposed to be overlooking the fact that to jihadists , terrorists crash planes into into the world trade centers? <br><br>Do we need to really point out the fact that none of that would have happened if these guys didn't steal our planes and crashed them like how stupid is this.
Well yeah that building was full of asbestos. Concrete dust is just a bad as asbestos. Plus, lead and all the plastics burned up. I was saying it from day one.
100% Giuliani. <br>100% GOP playbook.
Releasing those files was the best response to Giuliani's appalling Islamaphobic outburst yesterday. He's going to go through some things - again.
Zohran is the greatest politician of all time
The leaders of China and Russia place their own self-interest above the interests of the people! They are willing to sacrifice over a million Russian men—or even more lives—just to cling to their presidential seats! Meanwhile, the Chinese leader is willing to sacrifice the freedom of speech of 1.4 billion internet users to maintain his absolute, unchallenged rule! They label cutting off internet access as "cybersecurity"? That is a contradiction in terms! The real motive is to silence online criticism!
And who exactly lead the coverup!? Uncle Rudy, “Americas mayor!” That’s who!!! Another black eye for that disgusting POS
Is anybody surprised it was covered up?
Thanks....
Jon Stewart still carrying the torch 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.
Rudy was a scumbag not a hero mayor
Vote for JON.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽FOR PRESIDENT 2028.
NEVER FORGET THAT THOSE HIJACKERS WERE MOSTLY FROM SAUDI ARABIA, AND NOT AFGHANISTAN. OSAMA BIN LADEN WAS THE MASTERMIND AND THE PERSON WHO PAID FOR THOSE TERRORISTS.
It KILLED DONNA SUMMERS!!!!!
The one mayor who is supposedly affiliated with 9/11 is the mayor that showed transparency about 9/11 like no other. The previous mayors should never show their face during 9/11 memorials, they do NOT CARE.
Look what it takes to get the TRUTH in the US? Socialism is not only an adjacent Economic Model; it is a way of thinking about Truth and your fellow human beings; far too many politicians don't want to release the truth, they rather let people suffer, even die. It takes a mindset to break through that stonewall; this is more than economics, it is how your gov't values your life. It doesn't..
why would they need to cover it up??... any common sense person would know that the air quality would be toxic.
Hey libtards in the comment section. It wasn't Jon Stewart thar uncovered that news it was Mamdani administration.
Glad jon doest play white victimhood like trump and maga. Whining about a fake genocide 😂
Never forget that Republicans tried desperately and succeeded for many years to deny medical coverage to the heroes of 9/11.
Ah, THIS is why Giuliani is criticizing Mamdani this week.
I’d vote for Jon Stewart.
Jon Stewart 2028!
Thank you Jon Stewart for being a loud voice for the emergency responders to get healthcare and support from the government.
Thank you, Jon!
Jon Stewart is our national treasure. 🎉❤
