Jon Stewart covers the first of many legislative setbacks in providing funding for 9/11 Responders’ health care services via the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. While Senate Republicans filibuster the Zadroga Bill, tax cuts are passed for the wealthy while America’s news channels are beat to reporting the story by Al Jazeera. Jon is joined by 9/11 responders Kenny Specht (FDNY), Chris Bowman (NYPD), Ken George (DOT), and heavy equipment operating engineer John Devlin for their reactions and insights on the issue.
