Lewis Black's Rantcast

- Our host Lewis checks in this week from the Home of the Blues, Memphis, Tennessee! We’re recording this week’s episode in the parking lot of Sun Studios. Sun Studios has produced some legendary, great music. Countless hits. Midterm elections were this week and all the news coverage of it has been people standing in line. Even though people are standing in line to vote, our host reminds you that you need to give people a reason to vote! One political party comes up with solutions they can’t explain. The other political party wants to keep their good ideas a secret. It’s important to vote. It matters. Lewis is sick of people saying that George Carlin didn’t vote. How do you know that to be true? He could just be saying that because he’s George and he is a comedian! But then again, voting probably did genuinely bother him a lot. Lewis had an extra day to spend some time in Memphis. If he’s being honest, he ordered enough BBQ to feed a family of six. Also, if you’re ever in Memphis, you need to visit the civil rights museum. It will be one of the most extraordinary experiences you can ever have. It’s crazy that they don’t want to teach about civil rights history in school. Kids need to learn about this.
Our host's next stops in his tour are in Ohio and South Carolina. As always, our host reminds us that we take care of each other. It’s the most important thing we can do for one another.
This week’s live rants were filmed at Austin City Limits at the Moody Theater in Austin, Texas and the Majestic Theater in Dallas, Texas.

I wonder how many Republican women took pregnancy tests today and then realized they're actually Democrats?!
Excellent. Well said.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant
Thank you Lewis for always being there to lift our spirits.
Why does TH-cam censor complaints about the increase in offensive ads?
But the BS propaganda fake ads are even more disgusting.
Censorship can't be for profit. NO SALE here.
Just harassment ads and lousy blackmail.
Love you, Lew. 😃❤️😘I'm still planning on sending in my rant. It's a real rant, but I'm trying my best to make it funny. It's my biggest hope, especially these days, cuz , there's nothing left to be hopeful for, is to make you laugh 😂 to show my gratitude for the years you have saved me with the laughs you've given.
Yesterday I couldn’t believe how crazy the news reporters were. I hate TV on Election Day. Between the political commercials and crazy result coverage I was done. I voted went home and watched anything else but the results. Just plain done. Thank God it’s over. Thank you Lewis was looking forward to your rant all day.
Me too.
We love you because you can tell people to f off and still have a heart Lewis 💙💙💙👏
If I were going to choose someone to emulate to decide whether or not to vote, it wouldn’t be George Carlin no matter how much I might like him. I would choose the wonderful John Lewis.
You may be less freaked out Lewis if you listen to Michael Moores podcasts. Whether he is right or wrong, at least his voice is soothing and I for one take solace from his insights.
Do not apologize for anything Lewis. You are loved more than you know. Going to see you in Vancouver or Victoria in February. Maybe both :)
Always great! Thank you.
16:33 I love you Lew ! Keep doin what you wanna do. I bet you can do a box set! Do DVD's with tons of content, sell a million of them for like 20 bucks each, YOU CAN'T RETIRE ON 20 MILLION?! WTF!
Hey Lewis!! Thank you about talking about The Civil Rights National Museum, about the crappy injustices we as humans treated slaves and people of color. When I went to early vote in Millington,TN I noticed that one of the amendments that we could vote for was to YES abolish slavery. Really in 2022?? Thanks for your voice of humanity.
How did I miss any rants from SF? You are the best!
Hi Lewis, I'd recommend reading the Economics of Slavery in the Antebellum South by Alfred H. Conrad and John R. Myer 1958. The Phd. Thesis by a brilliant economist and econometrician. He was the head of the Economics Department at CCNY when I was there back in 1967. Sincerely, Frank Brown.
When that guy walked in to the restroom and saw the man with the pants down by his ankles taking a piss. All he had to do was really just turn the other cheek and walk out.
Amen, Lewis! You, as so often, are right on the mark!😘🥰
Lew for President! A ex-comedian is doing pretty well leading Ukraine, maybe it's time for the USA to do the same.
Absolutely wonderful as always , the folks In Texas had some great rants! 😂😅
GO, LEW!
Economic studies show that 54 percent of inflation is corporate price gouging.
That was quoted on " useful idiots" also. I mean I just comment that because actual news is so hard to find. Also , I don't vote either. F that.
Lots of corporate price gouging going on. However “ Economic studies show” is not a source. And does that 54% apply to a city, county, state, the country, or all of the countries who are facing inflation with price gouging attached?
I am not defending corporations. A business model with all of the rights of an individual and none of the responsibilities just should not be legal.
Keeping in mind corporations have steadily gained enough power in the US to control government decision and policy making, you’d think people might want to vote against the party which has been bought by corporate America.
The British Medical Journal had a very good, well sourced article on who is funding the government bodies who are making health decisions we all are affected by.
The WHO wants, they claim, to cut down on medical misinformation. They want only government regulators to be able to post information on social media posts. That sounds sensible, until you realize large portions of their budgets are funded by the industry they are supposed to regulate. The FDA budget is 65% funded by industry. In Canada, 55%. In Australia, 96%. In Europe, 89%. In the UK, 86%. In Japan, 85%. Also, 9 out of 10 of past commissioners between 2006 and 2019 went on to secure roles linked with Pharmaceutical companies.
Source, BMJ- from FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire?
I copied the BMJ info from dr john campbill, on this platform.
@@Caperhere I wonder what these regulators would have done about a sitting president spreading medical disinformation on social media ?
Thank you Lewis, for mentioning one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs! Also, this podcast means so much to me and so many others. So glad to hear from you, hope you are doing well. Happy voting day!
funny, I recognized it as a Grateful Dead song but Dylan and the Dead often toured together . Good reference and great song!
@@htopherollem649 it's on the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas movie soundtrack, that's where I first heard it. If you have not, it's definitely worth a listen.
nicely put Kathryn
Very well said good Sir.
Was at your show in Dallas last Friday. Was Great Looking forward to seeing u in Ft worth next April
Thanks Lewis
Is the bus comfortable? Kitchen? Sleeping? Maybe you could do a bus tour if you haven’t already. I’m quite curious about your arrangements when traveling. Comfort is becoming my first priority with each passing day☺️.
I need merchandise. I bought a bobblehead Lew. I was hoping you'd have newer versions. ☺️
omg the story about the woman and her dogs was hilarious
IKR? I scared my BC laughing at it...she thought I was nuts!!
"Act like you're from here and shut the fuck up."
Let me know when that shirt hits the stores. I'm buying bulk.
Well, to this day, Carlin still has the best take on voting and why it’s ultimately meaningless during his 20 minute “Free Floating Hostility” rant in his 1996 show “Back In Town”.
Understanding, but still disappointed you did not make the time to pilgrimage the Archie McPhee Rubber Chicken Museum in Wallingford, Seattle..
Welcome to the Bluff City!
Agreed. - the civil rights museum hits home. Overwhelming. Horrible. Inspiring, as well.
36:15
That was my question! :D
Lunch with the inside our crew. Enjoy, take care of yourself.❤
Lewis Black for president.
A bus is a good idea. You have your hotel room with you. Seems to me, that's a good way to go. Maybe, someone is jealous?
Deny Reality and Complain... America's New Past Time
A+
If your having your picture taken in Dallas, don’t send us a headshot
Too soon. Always.
At this rate, with how things are going, we might as well elect Leatherface for President. At least A) all he does is squeal which is easier to understand than the verbal diarrhea we hear from congress on a regular basis, and B) there’s no problem that can’t be fixed with a good old fashioned chainsaw. Best of all, at least we have a President who will scare the shit out of both Russia & the North Koreans.
Mlk had no interest in playing the role of civil rights activist. That's a myth. He was dragged kicking and screaming if you want to know the truth. And that is actually the truth. Not an " opinion"
That actually doesn't matter, because MLK became a martyr and will ALWAYS be the epitome of the civil rights movement ... whether he wanted to "play the role" or not, HE GAVE HIS LIFE for His Dream, which is more than can be said for ALL of the fascist, racist COWARDS of the QAnon movement, the GOP, the right wing and every Trump supporter ...
I dedicated twenty years to defending the US Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC, and since Trump descended on that fkin escalator in 2015, I realized that those twenty years WERE WASTED because the COWARDS mentioned above DO NOT CARE about the Constitution and what it ACTUALLY means ...
Either way, THANK GOD for Lewis and Vic DiBitetto, for giving me a VOICE while the intellectual vacuum of the COWARDS mentioned above DESTROY the American Experiment ...

Lewis, Maybe you should be sampling the Microdose before your rants. (That's a joke.) You are looking like the anger and fatigue are real. Please take care of you.
Hey Lewis while your in the Biblebelt, do us a solid and have your bus do a drive by b@tchslap to Hershel 😇
I hate your intros
Sickening and outrageously irresponsible advertisement! Pretty disappointing…
You can't learn from the past. That's bull. You just can't.
yes you can and do it better next time
Those who don't learn from history, are bound to repeat it.
The only way you can be absolutely sure your vote doesn't count is to not cast it
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Lewis Black
