274 - Happy Birthday To Us! Oh Joy!
This weekend marks our 250th birthday! A country with great accomplishments yet we’re all miserable right now. That’s not just hyperbole either, a recent poll shows that American’s aren’t feeling too patriotic at the moment. This is due to a variety of reasons, the Supreme Court continues to make bad rulings such as the recent overturning of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants in this
273 - Memorandum of Understanding
So, $132 Billion dollars and for what? If you ask certain people they might say that’s how many ways things got fucked up. The Iran war/not-war Memorandum of Understanding is already a complete disaster and how is our dear leader handling it? By simultaneously being nasty to a former president and utilizing some good ole’ fashioned deflection. In the form or reflection, pool that is. All run down
272 - Ultimate Fighting Championship
This episode of Lewis Black’s Rantcast was recorded in advance of a big weekend. Lewis was scheduled to perform in Atlantic City, NJ at the Borgata Casino. Just so happen to be the same night the New York Knicks were poised to win the NBA Championship for the first time in 53 years. That would be enough for one weekend but the next night brought more spectacle that was a UFC fight on the lawn of t
271 - Running Out Of Adjectives
The title really says it all. Lewis, like most of us, is near the end of his ability to properly describe what’s happening with our administration using words existing in the English language.

Are we great yet? Or are we amongst those people out there in need of having to sell some blood just to get by? Lewis learns Americans are grappling with decisions like this more and more as The Boss seems to be
making millions off the Presidency. Before SCOTUS set off the latest redistricting war, Lewis was out at the Mystic Lake Casino in Minnesota for a show and that’s also where this week’s ra
265 - More Weapons Big Ballroom
Lewis had a plan this week, but the event happening at the WHCD changed up his plans. Prompting him to reflect on his time when he was asked to be a participant in these things a while back. But as we watch things fall apart in real time its important to remember… maybe it was staged?

263 - We're The Civilization He's Destroying
This week Lewis is out hosting his golf invitational for charity. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t things happening in the world that can enrage you. From the quagmire in the Middle East to our leader’s personal philosophy, it’s enough to make you insane. But this week we are reminded that human ingenuity is still alive and well. Because for the first time in more than 50 years we returned to th
262 - He's Insane
This weekend people across the world celebrated a holiday. Meanwhile here at home, the President thinking that no one was paying attention, turned the White House into a Nut House. Truly insane times, so insane that Lewis re-recorded his intro to the podcast to accommodate more of it.

Bored seems to be he word this week for our leader as he seems over the war he started yet doesn’t know how to finish. Maybe Cuba is next. This week also saw the largest protest in history with the No Kings rallies which were no only nationwide but international as well. He’s bored with mail in voting so why not try to get rid of it? Or at least make it so only he can do it and nobody else. Beside
260 - March Madness
While the title suggests this week's Rantcast could be about the popular college basketball tournament. Madness can also describe the current situation we're living with. From what seems like a new war set forth by our boss, to the lack of decency shown when we lost a high profile public servant. While Lewis tries to make sense of it, his dog Sammy might just have the answers for us as he steadily
259 - What Is The Cost Of War?
It’s a question Lewis asks on this week’s Rantcast. We have an administration that appears to have not thought long about going to war with Iran. Entering it, being in it, getting allies for it, or ending it. Nothing was given any thought. The Rants come to us live from a recent stop in Battle Creek, MI at the Firekeepers Casino.

256 - I Can't Hear You Because He's Shouting
It was a wild week for our leader and so he’s angry. His signature policy was shot down by the Supreme Court he helped stock. They told him “no” on his tariffs so he got big mad at SCOTUS’ decision. Lashing out at anyone and everyone and this tariff argument reaching as far as the Olympics, well at least for Lewis because it screwed up who he was rooting for. And all of

Lewis kicks off this week’s Rantcast attempting to figure out how he can possibly remember the amount of bullshit that happens on a weekly basis. Realizing that his dog Sammy, who just turned one, has more empathy for the public than any politician or leader seems to. And the news gets wackier, MAGA picks on Olympians. Kristi Noem fires a pilot cause he

254 - Outrage Outage
Lewis begins this week’s Rantcast with a fairly straightforward question, where is the outrage? Because this past week some really unforgivable things happened that should’ve registered more than a blip on the public consciousness. A sitting president posted an extremely racist video of a former president and his wife and proceeded to remove himself from all responsibility. Because the buck doesn’
253 - From Rockford to Gary
From a show in Rockford to a show in Gary, the road to get between them had its own existential bumps along the way and it didn't help that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara bid farewell along the way. Truly Lewis feels she is needed now more than ever.
But life goes on and all the next shows maybe title In Memory of.....

252 - Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
Lewis is back to help us make sense of a wild week. Starting off with some explosive testimony from Jack Smith in front of Congressional Hearings, our Leader making the wildest of demands over in Davos in front of other world leaders before having to walk it all back, ending with some of the saddest news of the week with the totally senseless and brutal execution of an ICE protestor in Minneapolis
251 - Live From The Stand in NYC
It's Lewis' first ever live version of The Rantcast. Yes of course he's read live rants before during his stand-up shows but this is the first time he's taken the stage purely with the goal of recording an episode of his podcast in front of a live audience. So, Lewis left the confines of the public access studio in his home in New York and traveled to The Stand comedy club to record the podcast in
250 - In Memory of Renee Nicole Good and Bob Weir
As Lewis preps for his first ever live Rantcast recording this week he reflects on two major stories of death this week. First being the unfortunate murder of Renee Nicole Good as it reflects exactly how this Administration is acting. The second being Grateful Dead guitarist and founding member Bob Weir whose music had a big influence on Lewis.
And if you are still looking to get tickets to Lewi
249 - It’s Saturday Morning, Let’s Invade Venezuela
Lewis had an entire show planned for this first Rantcast of 2026 but he woke up Saturday morning to record and things didn't go as planned because our President decided it was a really great time to invade a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader. Needless to say all the plans for this episode went out the window.
And in news that's less geopolitical in nature, Lewis will record his first ever
248 - America Is His Coloring Book
It’s the final Rantcast of 2025 and Lewis reflects on the past year. Mostly attributing it to the political absurdity that’s plagued us and continues to plague us. Lewis also remembers two colleagues who recently passed from his drama school days. And he’d be remiss to leave you without a few fresh rants for you to ring in the new year.

It’s that time of year when the weather gets chilly and the snow falls. But, when it comes to Winter Wonderlands Lewis seems to feel differently about it. Weather being one thing, this past weekend was a tough and senseless one on many levels. The two terrorist attacks at both Brown University and Bondi Beach is enough in and of itself. But the weekend was capped by the terrible news in the entert

Another week brings more conversation about the Epstein Files. But a lot can change in just a few days, for a lot has changed in between the time Lewis recorded this episode and it was published.

242 - Meanwhile...
The government is shutdown but meanwhile the Ice Raids continue. We're approaching 40 days and there's plenty of blame going around, meanwhile there's lawsuits about people's SNAP benefits. Is there no money? Not sure because meanwhile a $300M ballroom is being built and Elon Musk is making trillions. Boats are being blown up with no signs of oversight, meanwhile the president wants to name a new
241 - 1 out of 8
The title says it all. The vast food insecurity that the children in our country is flat out appalling. And while we’re in the middle of a government shutdown, the debate over whether to continue to support SNAP benefits should not be an issue at all. Lewis makes it very clear where he stands on the issue and the rage is enough to make him want to leap out of his seat. When are the adults going to
240 - Escape to Easton, PA
Lewis is here to recap the final shows on his farewell tour which happened last weekend in Pennsylvania. Capping decades of the road and a very accomplished comedy career. While Lewis will still perform the art of stand-up, it will just not be as often on the road as it once was, it’s not the end of the story, just a new chapter so we get some reflection on a life on the road. The rants come to us
239 - Can't Keep Up
The title says it all. The news cycle of nonsense keeps coming at us that even taking a week of from things makes it nearly impossible to keep up with the news cycle. Lewis is back from North Carolina where he was given an award and this past weekend he wrapped his final shows of his final tour. Will you still be able to see Lewis live? Yes. But the frequency of his time on the road will decrease.
238 - Honk Honk! Quack Quack! Part 2
Lewis is down in North Carolina but just because he’s not sitting in his public access studio right now doesn’t mean the ridiculousness took a break. Our president decided to give a speech to our military industrial complex. Oh, and he brought along a hedgehog for his opening act. Seems redundant to continue to ask where the adults are in the room but we did see the adults and they were our milita
237 - Yom Kippur: The Day Of Atonement
This week Lewis reflects on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Discussing his own personal journey in the Jewish faith. He reads a powerful essay he wrote about how he first was introduced to it, obsessive thoughts about sin and forgiveness he derived from it, when he left it, and his current relationship with it.

236 - Honk Honk! Quack Quack!
We’re back for another week of the great question to be asked, and that’s “where are the adults in the room?” From wild antics at the UN, border patrol bribes, frivolous lawsuits, and the unfortunate reality of more mass shootings. It’s just another week of pure lack of proper governance and Lewis distills those frustrations many of us have right now. But if we want a silver lining to the week, th
235 - Kash Patel Has Crazy Eyes!
This week Lewis discusses the recent congressional hearings involving Kash Patel and his unsettling demeanor and lack of respect during questioning at the Congressional Hearings. But that’s not all that’s in the news as the recent dismissal of Jimmy Kimmel raises eyebrows for Lewis. Particularly since he’s a comedian himself and constant advocate for the ability to speak one’s mind. A disturbing
234 - Is This Really The Turning Point?
Lewis takes a hard look at the idea of this past week’s events actually being a turning point in the US. Mostly because he feels it’s been said before. Inflammatory rhetoric that seems to do nothing but prove we need more adults in the room at a time of crisis. Buckle up because there seems to be nobody with a strong hand on the wheel. Yes, the political landscape is a combo platter of ineffective
233 - Day 232 of WTF
This week on the Rantcast Lewis delves into the absurdities of current and the chaotic nature of what the Boss is doing in the White House, the silly notion and the implications of presidential immunity, and the ongoing debates surrounding vaccinations and public health. And someone please let us know what exactly is going on with RFK Jr's voice?

230 - No Guardrails
Well, this was a week where a lot of the checks and balances seemed to disappear before our eyes. That's right, guardrails that used to protect us seem to not be that much of a concern for The Boss and his people. Which probably means it's a big concern for most regular people.

Lewis is back from his week-long comedy curation in upstate New York where he spent his 4th of July performing live. He returned to the madness of the day to commiserate with the rest of us about how the Boss’ Big Beautiful Bill isn’t really any of those things. But at least he has Prime Day to look forward too, right? He’s planning on following that up with a safari in Africa, where he hopes by t
228 - Bomb, de Bomb, Bomb, Boooomb!
It’s time to celebrate our nation’s independence. But are we in a renaissance of military spectacular-ness? The Boss seems to think so. Because our recent non-congress approved exercise in Iran would have you to believe that all the Middle East’s issues were solved in just a day or two. It’s worth of giving the Boss a Nobel Peace Prize, right? National intelligence saying otherwise have something
227 - Two Weeks Again?
It’s take 2 of this week’s Rantcast. Why? Because he completed an entire recording of this week’s episode only to find out the next day enough happened in the world wo warrant a re-recording of the episode. Hence the “Again” being added to the title of the episode. This week Lewis dives into subject matter such as the Middle East, counter terrorism, and discrimination. Really light topics for such
226 - Toy Soldiers
Well, this past week was event-filled. Absolutely insane events like The Boss’ birthday parade thinly veiled as a celebration of America’s military. While that event appeared to be a dud, it still positioned our military personnel as Toy Soldiers. If that wasn’t enough to infuriate you Toy Soldiers were also being utilized in LA to settle non-existent unrest. Almost enough nonsense to forget that
225 - Insanity Squared
We have ourselves a snappy title for snappy times. This past week we caught ourselves in the middle of the Donald Trump/Elon Musk falling out. That’s right two grown men of unimaginable privilege calling each other names in public. Insanity on all fronts and we all need to figure out how to lessen our exposure to it all because we all know it’s bad for us. While

Madness has taken its hold on all of us. In Lewis’ case it’s actually been Mucho More Madness. He’s tired of talking about it, but what “it” is even is under debate because the truth doesn’t matter. Even after a long holiday break the Mucho More Madness is still too much. Elon was drummed out of Washington, DC. Presumably to detox. The MaHa movement definitely emphasizes the “ha.” But it appears L
223 - WTF?
WTF might just be the best way to collectively describe what’s happening currently. As we head into the long holiday weekend we’re reminded of how much that simple phrase can define things. Whether it be Lewis attempting to make sense of what his favorite sports teams are doing. Perhaps it can describe anything that RFK did in the last 10 days. Or maybe it can be attributed to the Boss’ trip to th
222 - But The Pope Is An American
This past weekend we celebrated our Mothers. While they are the most important people in the world to most, to Catholics around the world the selection of a new Pope also ranks up there in importance. White smoke was seen at The Vatican and we have ourselves a new pontiff and this one
came with a curveball too as he’s from right here in America. That’s right, Bob from Chicago is the new Pope. A st
221 - The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Lewis has returned from some shows performed at his Alma Mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Was it a fun visit for nostalgia trip? Or, as he put it, might’ve been an acid flashback. But while Lewis had all the intentions about talking about performing at his college longer, the news of the day needed to be addressed and boy is there a lot – from The Boss’s declaration for ever
220 - STOP!
There are no pleases here, just a hard statement of STOP! A simple request that Lewis makes on behalf of all of us. Whether it be another Signalgate, more silliness out of the mouths of public health officials, the Pope passing away, oh yeah and remember George Santos? He finally faced justice. It’s all too much, so just STOP!

During this process it’s also important to stay off Twitter as the feedback can be tough on one’s mental health. Meanwhile protests have popped up pretty m

It’s time for part 2. Lewis finds himself still in the train of thought as last week, just truly baffled by recent events.

Whether it be terrible cabinet picks or the mess that mass layoffs are causing, there just doesn't seem to be enough oxygen (or air) in the room, because we only get to breathe the King's oxygen.. While in the past we m

Things are getting crazy out there and not just our current political climate. Lewis was reminded
of that this week when the fairly simple task of getting a new computer was met with the corporate machinations of not 1 but 2 different organizations pissing him off. The frustration grew when Uber Eats got involved, yes you read that correctly Uber Eats. It’s a wild tale of one man trying is best to
210 - Idiot's Delight
Lewis has always liked the title of the play Idiot’s Delight and it certainly seems to be describing the times that we are currently in. As the world spent a collective moment watching The Super Bowl this weekend, Lewis has a message for the NFL and its almighty self-importance. Big game aside, each passing day seems to sound a red alert in our nation’s capital and though he might be able to give
209 – CHAOS!
Chaos, it seems to be all around us these days and its pretty much the last thing Lewis wants to talk about though he feel compelled to. Chaos is the feature of this administration and our Leader it at its center. From unfathomable Executive Orders to cabinet members without any sort of qualifications for the job they’re being nominated for. And just when you think it could not get much worse, we

It’s the time of year where Lewis realizes just how smart bears are for just shutting it down for the winter. Commanders because his favorite football team made a fantastic run this season and almost made it to the big game. Now if they can just do something about their name. Oh, and the team's former owner sucks.

Many might find it funny, but the joke is on us as a new president begins his term. The punchlines seem to write themselves even before Lewis can make the joke.

As a comedian or not, its probably a bad

As Lewis records his first Rantcast episode of 2025 on January 6th, he’s reminded of where we were 4 years ago on this day. Over the years the US has seen its fair share of political unrest, so comparisons become quite inevitable. Right now it seems like people are at odds because the reality of what even occurred that day continues to to be in question. That “reality” alone might just be the last

It's the last Rantcast of 2024. Well, technically the first of 2025 and a recap of the year that just wrapped is in order. The difference here is that it's been done before, so the essence of the message is to wish you well for the new year.
