- The Problem with Jon Stewart is now streaming on Apple TV+ theproblem.link/WarEpisode
How much proof does it take to show that the toxic chemicals released by burn pits made veterans sick? Or that they're the same chemicals in Agent Orange? Maybe a few official memos could help.

#PACTAct #BurnPits #Veterans - ตลก
I’m a veteran of the war in Afghanistan and am experiencing burnpit related health problems at 27. Thanks for coming back Jon. We all missed you dearly.
Please don't die.
Good luck health medicine gets better every day hopefully you’ll get better
PLEASE setup a GoFundMe page....I would be more than willing to contribute to your health expenses, and I'm not even a USA citizen!
@@Dozeball I appreciate the sentiment. However, I do not think a functioning society needs charity. At least not for healthcare.
I hope you recover, man.
Jon helped me get my VA disability benefits when I was on the Daily Show a few years ago. My family and I will always be grateful to him and the people who worked with him for that. He seemed like a a straight forward guy who really cared about helping veterans. I am glad that he is back on TV.
I'm just happy Jon Stewart is back on the screen again. He seems so authentic compared to most talking heads.
except Jon's not back. He's unfunny and sullen now.
except Jon's not back. He's unfunny and sullen now
@Hector Fontanez ... in June if 2019, Jon Stewart went to Capitol Hill and DEMANDED changes to the 9/11 Victims Compensation Act to increase funding for 1st Responders’ continuing health-related issues...
He’s been their non-stop CHAMPION and a fierce advocate for these HEROES’ healthcare funding since about 2003...
I love jon!
His real name is Leibovitz. So authentic haha
Your voice, as always, is greatly appreciated
2006 Man of the Year.
Staring Robin Williams
Jon Stewart should be doing his duty as an American and stepping up to be not the best person for the job maybe, but by far better then any option either colluding party will supply us with in 2024. 🥺
We need Jon. America... NEEDS JON STEWART.
Instead he's on Apple... 🙃
@rob okay, let's see one single instance of any father being arrested for misgendering their child. You said fathers, as in more than one, so certainly you should be able to provide a news article of this happening at least once
Daddy's home, folks!
hey man!
Amen! 🙏
Haha on point
I love how he is consistently on the side of veterans
Wait until he runs for President. he would win the people's votes. And he actually cared for people. Corporate shenanigans? Another matter entirely.
And first responders
@@Gunni1972 He would never run for President or any other political office. He doesn’t want to deal with political corruption; Stewart would rather expose them.
@@tannerwilson4843 ...because he is neither delusional nor narcissistic.
He is? What he is doing now is trying to increase spending that veterans will never see. His buddies and sponsors benefit by exploiting this tragedy. It's sad you think he is doing this out of the interest of veterans, he's not. You have no clue how us veterans are screwed out of pay, benefits, and medical treatment. We're at the bottom of a racket where everyone else benefits but the taxpayer and the veteran.
Jon Stewart largely pioneered the era of comedic journalism, and blazed the trail for the John Olivers and Trevor Noahs of today's world. We should be eternally thankful for everything he's done over the years! Jon Stewart - often imitated, never duplicated!!!
Another veteran wanting to thank Jon Stewart and his team for his voice and advocacy. Thank you, sir!
I've missed the pen gestures!!
Jehanr! Yo i never thought i would see a sir lankan youtuber liking Late night tv. Who are your favs? My favs our Jon ,Trevor ,Jimmy k ,Jimmy F and a lot more.
Fan
@@niveinratnayake668 how could you miss out on conan!?!?! I bet jehan’s favourite is CONAN!
@@janithabeysekera529 sorry, or Conan
I'm sorry, but THAT's what you took away from this episode? REALLY?!?
Agreed brother, I wish he would scribble on the paper more though
The king of political satire/social commentary has come home.
Good to have you back, Mr. Stewart.
That wasn't that funny of a piece. Very sad
Soldiers are cheap expendable fodders for the Military Industrial Complex, making sure they stay healthy costs money, from their rich friend's annual Yacht purchase.
@@cheri7054 it's sad that you don't get it . You should go to Fallon for funnies.
The final battle for Democracy truly begins :)
@@mark99k satire is suppose to have an element of humor
Extremely intelligent, beloved, honorable, humane, caring and wise. People like John should be governing this country we need a fresh new uncorrupted party for the people.
Well said! I couldn’t agree more!
"Comedy Party"??
Childhood was loving the [old] Stephen Colbert. Adulthood is realizing Jon was the hero all along.
Spoken like a patriot. Even more importantly though, spoken as a decent human being. More power to your arm, Jon Stewart.
Spoken like a "true" patriot unlike most of the hypocrites that are Republicans who like to call themselves patriots but can't be bothered to protect their country from a deadly virus by wearing a mask and getting vaccinated.
@rob Real patriots are anti-war. Patriots don't support sending their military off to die in unjust wars. You clowns didn't care about dead afghan children when Trump was killing them, or when Bush was killing them. In fact, you people just said "Hey, there are casualties in war". Nobody on the left is defending the Taliban. We aren't the ones who believed them when they told Trump they promised to be good wittle boys
@rob
So you have to be "pro war" to be a "patriot", in your little mind, kid?
That's just fkin ridiculous.
You know not of which you speak.
Funny, most combat vets I've known are anti war.
@rob You don't have to be pro-war to be patriotic. Come on, that's fucking retarded.
Stewart knows what he's talking about.
Wars cause lots of problems, for every country involved in them, and regardless of what they started over. If you don't understand that, then you have a childishly simplified outlook on the world.
Hearing him talk and knowing I can trust him in what he's saying is a feeling I haven't felt in a very long time. It's like I've been in a fog for a very long time since he left the daily show and we're both older and have adapted to the world without each other, but some new and old problems still exist and we gotta get back up and try and do something about them. I'm bummed about apple+ because I have no idea how I can watch this, but I'm very happy that Jon Stewart is back doing what I think our country needed for so long. I don't want to put too much weight on him, but I really think he was a key player in keeping our society sane for a very long time.
You know, as somebody who's not even american and who is just intersted in these topics because of yt/media, it feels like Jon makes one want to become the best version of oneself..
Idk it's hard to describe
Shane ...Tweets, emails and post various social media messages to pressure #AppleTV into continuing to air clips on a TH-cam and perhaps eventually even giving us the entire episodes after they air on their pay TV platform!
Activism works, my friend. It just requires a lot of word-of-mouth.
@@twoblacklabs904 Dont take this too personal, but holy fuck what a comment to read. Its really become a thing, where the grand advice to people is: Whine on public forums that you want shit for free, because .... actually why? Why is it you feel like you are deserving of something for free, when tons of people have worked on it?
Anyway, again, let me apologize for not taking the time to filter this, and just said it how I thought in the moment. It wasnt my intention to hurt your feelings. (okay maybe a little, sorry)
@@casperjnsson7283 Holy fuck what a comment to read. I'd explain it to you, but you wouldn't get it anyway. Enjoy living your life being a friendless asshole.
@@wicketandcub3612 Thanks man, u 2! :D
I love how pretty much everyone here is on the same page about how much we’ve missed Jon and his passion, wit, and sharp commentary. Fantastic first episode-can’t wait for more.
And the fact he has his own informed opinions instead of shilling for the company that owns the studio.
@rob holy fuck, you're insufferable. What the fuck are you even talking about?
This type of material desperately needs to be seen by the masses. The news has imploded. Please continue to be a sane voice in an insane time.
As a disabled OIF Vet w/ PTSD, that lived near a burn pit for a year, that has no idea how it may have harmed me, yet.... Thank you, Jon. You're a true battle buddy.
Why did the military just burn all their trash? They couldn’t just bury it?
As somebody who is 33 iand battling cancer because of those for the pits I salute Jon Stewart all the salute power I have
Good luck in your new theater of battle. Fight it all the way
Godspeed
Wishing you recovery as it also affects our veterans families health 😪. Just lost my best friend (as a kid) her father was in military & lived not two blocks from those things & being an adult the Veteran’s department just told her (not our problem now) & breaks my heart all this is still being allowed & not helping our real hero’s is just shame on this legislature’s complete denial of truth facts & let money decide how will vote 😠!!!
Hi Jon, I am a military wife and would just like to thank you for your attention to the burn pits and their awful effects on service members.
Jon, PLEASE bring up that we had to sign a waiver saying the we "knew" that the burn pits were safe and not harmful to your health before we were allowed to leave Balad AB, Iraq to go home after deployment.
It's the smoking gun to get this really in the fast track. I so wish that I took a photo of that waiver back then.
The pen is indeed mightier than the sword. Especially in the hands of Jon Stewart.
I miss Jon so much. My dad just died three days ago. I used to watch the Daily Show with my father. I used to love watching, and talking about the Daily Show and Colbert Report with my father and brother.
I loved Jon Stewart when he ran the Daily Show. I'm so sad my dad is gone but at least the world is still full of good people. Watching this reminds me of so many good times. My father was a veteran also. He was a huge critic of Bush jr. and the war.
"Delay, Deny, Hope You Die" is Bullshit.
I'm so sorry that your Dad died.
You're a good son. You had, and still have his love, and he yours.
Condolences Mr. Xulski. I used to call my mother every night about 1/2 hour before the Daily Show. That would give us half an hour to talk and then we could each watch the Daily Show. She loved it too. And that was followed by the Colbert Report, which we religiously watched from day it started. It is so good to have Jon back, but I wish he came back four years ago. What a legacy he has - John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Colbert, Trevor Noah....
I lost my dad a couple of weeks ago. The world had lost a couple of good people. Grateful you have those memories of watching together. May Jon coming back bring you comfort in the time to come.
I lost my dad last year to covid...my condolences from India
I’m so sorry for your loss. Hang in there. Hugs
The divergence between what Stewart and Colbert ended up becoming couldn’t be more stark.
So true. Colbert collects the $$$ and goes home
@@evolu9660 He is so on the same page as Jon Stewart, he has numerous time fought for the people and for what is right, and has many times expressed his gratitude to Jon, for the man he is today.
How they handle and talk on the issues, differs. But they align in meaning.
@@justadad6677 Colbert decided to become just another hack. He was once funny and entertaining and insightful. He's been none of those since leaving comedy central.
Colbert drank the Kool-Aid.
Stwert spits the Kool-Aid into the oligarchs eyes.
@@justadad6677 No. Colbert supports the establishment without question.
Dont you dare ever disappearing from the public eye again, we need your sharp mind, your voice of reason and your comedic genius Mr.Stewart. Your work is much appreciated.
when the world needed him most he returned
why did he return? have you heard of Jimmy Dore? Jimmy Dore is far more critical of the two party duopoly than Stewart ever has been.
@@vivekjain9797 oh no it’s a Jimmy dore moron
@@vivekjain9797 lmao Jimmy Dore
What's he up to lately?
Let me guess, screaming at AOC and going on Tucker Carlson's show to *only* attack The Democrats?
Yeah, very nuanced and balanced
/s
Honestly, the way in which Jon breaks down a problem and points out the hypocrisy of TPTB is in a class of his own.
I very much enjoy the very many Comedians/Journalists that we received thanks to Jon's work and who are indubitably his legacy - but he remains the master.
Very excited to see him decimate the hypocrisy and web of lies that we witnessed in last years.
Go Jon!
John Oliver, Stephen Colbert (while he was still on The Colbert Report, at least), Jordan Klepper, plus others, while great in their own right, are all standing on the shoulders of this giant.
@@sfreemanoh My wife is Chinese and we live in Tokyo. She asked who is Jon Stewart and I had to step back. He redefined comedy. People literally watched The Daily Show because they thought they got more truthful information than from regular news. And now everyone copies this style. Look at Johnny Carson, Letterman, Leno, they made jokes about politics, but it wasn't the center of their shows. Jon changed all of that. The closest to follow him I would say is John Oliver who, guess what, came from The Daily Show.
The other thing I like is that these comedians deep down aren't competing with each other like Letterman and Leno did. They want us all to watch all of them. Just a couple of days ago Seth Meyers and James Corden (yeah, I only watch one of them) did a joint segment together, from competing shows! They have each other on their shows. Jon Stewart to launch his show was on Colbert! I love youtube that lets me watch them all. BTW, missing Conan.
Eh, I can't stand John Oliver. I used to like him, but he turned into a talking head for the Democratic party a while ago. The awesome thing about Jon is that he doesn't really care about the political divide, he cares about people, and will go after people abusing their power - Democrat and Republican alike.
@@jeffmorris5802 I have to strongly disagree. While he's definitely on the left, he's also perfectly happy to call out bullshit on the left when he sees it.
@@sfreemanoh If you have an example of that I'd be interested to see it; in my experience he couldn't shut up about Trump for 4 years straight - to the point I thought he may secretly be gay for him.
Wasn't sure about Jon Stewart coming back, but now, just wow. So glad he's spotlighting an issue that many who are not in the military (so 99% of u.s. population) aren't aware of. Welcome back Jon.
I will never in my life sign up for Apple TV but I do miss seeing this guy
Why not?
Because Apple as a company is terrible with their anti repair rules among many other business practices.
I am so incredibly happy that he's back. He did incredible work during his time away using his platform to put the health issues of 9/11 First Responders in the spotlight, but I hope he never leaves again.
Wow, the return of a legend. You know its' gotten bad when you feel refreshed seeing someone who has already done this for almost 20 years
Oh how we've missed you Jon. You're needed now more than ever.
The value of a nation can be determined by how it treats its heroes. Both the cleanup after 9/11 and the subsequent wars demonstrated how badly our nation is failing in this regard.
Shows the destructive nature of the economic system based on profit-seeking above all else. There is plenty of money for making war but never enough for treating the symptoms of exposure to war. Of course, war makes money, but peace doesn't. So in a world based on making money, what interests are going to be pushed the most?
The DEMAND in the USA should be for: Medicare-For-All NOW, Housing-For-All, and Basic Income. Some shmuck politician will then say "How are we going to pay for that?", Answer with: "Same way all the wars were paid for and the skyrocketing military budget." Add a little "and you can't put a price on freedom, right?" Fake politicians love to use the word 'freedom' against the people to get what they want. Throw it back in their faces!
I understand why Jon cares about this. When he said same thing on ground zero. So this is why. Got it. Keep fighting.
Welcome back John. We really missed you.
I'm a veteran of the Iraq War and I was exposed to burn pits.
When I saw Jon Stewart take this on, it gave me hope.
Even if I die from this, I feel like I will be avenged and the truth will be told.
Thank you to Jon and his brilliant co-creators on the show.
And, just in case you have a day where you aren't sure.
It matters.
Welcome back, Mr. Stewart. You have been missed. Please don't stop. ❤😎🖖
Jon Stewart a great hero of mine is BACK - some call him Jon Stewart - I call him America's Conscience
So happy to have you back. Seems darker than last time we met. I love the details and looking into less known problems. Wonderfully done.
We have missed u so much Jon Stewart
Thank God for Jon Stewart 🙏
Hey Jon and Jon's team, would you guys mind providing sources for all of this? ESPECIALLY the internal memos from the EPA, DoD, and most definitely the VA notice. It might help affected vets with their claims with the VA. Thanks for what you do!
He's working with orgs fighting for this cause, I'm sure they share whatever they have.
Now that we know the memos exists it should be fairly easy to drop a FOIA on it.
try to file a FOIA request, don't know how much will be redacted (US government, gotta love them /sarcasm), but it's a start
All the evidence in the world isn't going to change the minds of those in power and who hold the key to the bank.
@@chinookvalley Good thing our system allows us to all run for office.
The military industrial complex, warned by us from President Eisenhower.
see Ray McGovern's commentary on the MICIMATT.
I wish Jon would read all these comments and see how appreciated as a comedian, social commentator and mainly awesome human he is and how much people actually see that, notice that and love that. Incredibly happy to see you back Jon
The Once and Future King has returned!
Welcome back, Mr Stewart. You've been missed.
Glad you're back gramps
Thank you Jon Stewart! Bringing attention to the toxic and dangerous nature of burn pits. This is something veterans have hoped for for years.
Like always, speaking truth. And for those of you experiencing Stewart for the first time, welcome.
Omg... THE KING OF LATE NIGHT COMEDY IS BACK!!! I may start crying.. Missed you Jon!!! LOVE FROM INDIA
One of my favorite humans on Earth
Politicians, the Military, or Corporations... it's always the same. They care until you are no longer of use... then you're on your own.
"...and when they weren't there, we made our own." Powerful. Thanks Jon!
Jon Stewart, you are a national treasure. Thank you for sharing your talent with us again.
he really is, so happy he has a show again.
It's always nice when an official body's justification basically boils down to: "We are just too fucking stupid to do our job."
If the people in the DOD cannot do their job, fire them and find some that can.
They ARE doing their job. That's the sick part of this. It's their job to deny, dissemble and obfuscate.
They're not stupid, they are very much intentionally doing things this way. It would be inconvenient and expensive for Uncle Sam to admit to any wrong doing.
The one and only Jon Stewart i miss you sir
Thank heavens Jon Stewart is back, calling out absurdity and injustice as only Mr Stewart can do! He is courageous and compassionate and has a wicked wit. So glad he's back :)
So good to see you, Jon. Sad that the world is going so badly that you felt you needed to come off the farm and the peaceful, loving surroundings, but still happy and relieved to hear your powerful voice defending the powerless relentlessly.
So good to see him back on air bringing the focus onto important issues!
It's so fucking good having Jon Steward back on the telly
We needed john badly. He left right before things went extremely crazy in 2016. Thank god he's back
Holy shit... thank you for coming out of retirement. The world still needs you Jon Stewart.
Good news: job Stewart is back.
Bad news: most of us can't afford the service that lets you watch it.
Jon Stewart, thanks for bringing this
He is trying to help our sick soldiers. Good man
I am an American and these types of issues boil my blood. American Service Members being denied the proper care during and after their service is despicable and we should all be outraged of this. A letter to our Representatives my help. Thanks Mr. Stewart.
The King has returned
HE’S FUCKING BACK BABY LETS GOOOOOO
Welcome back, Jon. We missed you so much.
Welcome back John,the country needs you.
Oh how I love you John, you are the breath of fresh air everybody needs, literally!
God Damn I missed you. Welcome back to the table buddy. Lets talk about this important shit.
we've missed you Jonny boy, well come back!!!✌️✌️✌️
Love the last line from Jon..."We went to find weapons of mass destruction, when they weren't there we made our own ". Wow....what a true and powerful statement.
It's like my birthday, Eid day and happy new year combined today.
Welcome baack John
watched the whole episode on Apple TV+ - i really recommend it. Jon is even harder hitting in this one than the Daily Show, there’s a segment where he rakes the VA Secretary over this so hard that i almost felt bad for the guy 😬
the interview so really well done. the guy has no answers. it’s all about connecting the gov to the cancer. the whole time I’m thinking “who cares, just take care of em all”. embarrassing
I'm glad he didn't stop fighting after the bill was passed.
And now it's worldwide!
How long has the VA secretary had the job??? That matters. Can't shit on someone who just started working there.
Thanks for voicing this. They need to do more to assist Veterans instead of ignoring it until they give up.
I missed Jon Stewart!! He is the all time best
John Oliver has helped fill the void that Jon Stewart left behind, but it's still very nice to have Jon on tv again.
You can tell that John Oliver learned a lot from Jon. Bringing light to matters that we didn’t know we should be paying attention to more. They were under the radar because of the density of the subject, but John Oliver and his team have done a great job with their research, holding people accountable. Still, my favorite was when John took on the lies of the coal mining industry promising that with Trump’s help, they would be back to work. That was never true, and it never will be. John did a great job bringing that to light. Both of them are exceptional at what they do.
@@cityhawk John Oliver actually started in political commentary besides standup before he came to The Daily Show. He just went back to his roots with Last Week Tonight.
Nationalize healthcare to help our veterans
Thank you, you have been a voice of reason almost.my.whole.lifetime. we love you and you are a true patriot
Thank John for exposing this story, and finally helping veterans ……..
I feel like in this first episode Jon sets out what the actual problem we have in this country, the government. Not just red or blue, its the whole bureaucracy.
It's not the government. It's the people in it who are more loyal to money and corporate interests. The government should answer to us. If you remove the government, what do you replace it with? Shareholders and profit margins? Who do they answer to? The government is the solution, but it has to be a government that fears elections, not donors.
@@steveiannelli I would say that the problem is the people that send this crooks to the government. The voters . When you have a whole country shouting in panic; "Communism!!!!!!!" when they heard the word Public Healthcare, my God, you're not far from the movie "Idiocracy".
@@steveiannelli the government will inevitably corrupt.
The poison cartel
Biden's an embarrassing discombobulated incompetent mess on multiple levels obviously & EVERYONE knows it 😳
th-cam.com/video/yGCDV0MdLhss/w-d-xo.html
So happy Jon is back! Bout time!
Finally I am so happy seeing Jon Stewart back on TV
THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM. I LOVE JON STEWART AMERICAN HERO.
wow
we missed you Jon!
thank you!
You were sooooo needed. Welcome back!
Stroke of brilliance for Stewart to do an exposé show!
When we needed him most, he came back.
Republicans are already shitting their pants! Welcome back Jon Stewart!!!
Let's not make it a little liberal or conservative issue....this is a government/military issue which bleeds us from both sides.
I sincerely pray to God that Jon Stewart is actually willing to speak truth rather than Left-wing establishment garbage and lies like Colbert and Oliver and Kimmel and the rest of those soulless NPCs.
@@BaldwinVoice John Oliver is very much in the same vein as Jon Stewart. They don't like lies period. That many are coming from the right-wing now is not their fault. John savages the system more than anything.
@@dan_hitchman007 I truly feel sad for you that you live in such a state of delusion
@@BaldwinVoice I think I could say the same thing for you, dude. Though you truly are delusional if you think the right-wing or the Republican party is on the correct path anymore. Not that I'm a Democrat either.
I really needed this.
Jon, you are so needed, now more than ever.
Yes!!!! Seeing and hearing Jon Stewart feels like home.
Man how I’ve missed this man🔥🔥🔥🔥It’s so good to hear him again💜💜💜💜
Thanks 🙏💜
Mr.Stewart is the history teacher I wish I had. Living in a SUPER southern environment I know I've learned omgashso much that my teachers didn't touch on because "controversy" - I love the information on looking back to debunk current hate. Yelling don't make a situation better but understanding and having a well rounded mental tool box and tastefully laughing at how dumb everything else can be while rubbing the noses of the fucked up into the carpet of their own piss. ..thank you for teaching that to my generation.
Jon Stewart is a living legend
Oh how I've missed you Jon. Welcome back!
Love this show from Hong Kong, please let the release date in Hong Kong be the same as the US! The release date in HK is in October 14
Still hoping for a better day for the people of Hong Kong. Stay strong, be safe. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
@@tammystockley-loughlin7680 Amen.
Commenting to boost exposure, but also to add my thank you. The burn pits resulted in anosmia for me. I no longer smell anything for more than a fraction of a second, and only in extremely rare cases. This is not something that manifested itself until months after I returned from Iraq and had left the military. I know I'm lucky, comparatively, but who knows what the future holds. Thank you for bringing attention to the issue.
Welcome back, Jon. You've been missed. Long may you continue.
