I'm here! I'm listening!! I'm raging right along with you! Also, the Mitch McConnell moment as a metaphor for how stuck we are as a country, is brilliant. Its true, and it is brilliant.

[@sonnyblanchard]

How screwed up is life when this cheers me up? 🤣 I need your rants Louis. Keep them coming.

[@shadowlouise]

He's Lewis - with a W. As always, he made me laugh. Until that last item. Nothing funny about dead children. We can't do anything about guns, so we surrender. Our right to bear arms is too important, so instead of keeping weapons of war out of the hands of crazies, let's protect children by making it easier to identify their shredded or headless bodies. Hey! What about tatts? As soon as babies are born, at the same time we get their social security numbers, tattoo the SSN on them. Bar code it so it can be quickly scanned. Of course, the DNA will still be needed in case -- well, you know. Maybe that's not a modest proposal, but it's conservative and practical -- better than banning a very popular gun. NRA & 2A 4Ever!

[@brucefelter1335]

Your rants should be required viewing in high school and college! I thinks it's our only hope!

[@LadywatchingByrd]

How did I not know that Lewis Black rants.. were A thing??? 👏😄 So glad to have found these. And you're very right Lewis, it's incredibly scary to watch Mitch McConnell have a stroke on air and no one give a s***.

[@europademon]

Thanks for the rants that get me through the night shift.

[@katherinevallo2326]

Me too, Lewis Black, thanks for your rants they make coming home from the graveyard shift with the craziness much better,

[@tashuntka]

I'm so glad I'm on my way out rather than on my way in 👍 You encapsulate my OMG brain swirl completely Lewis..

[@loricusenza4887]

You make me feel more sane when you rant about the insanity that defines our lives today. I’m just as baffled as you are by the things I see in and hear about our current state of affairs. It truly is rightening. But it helps to laugh about it, if only by releasing the stress it causes.

[@carabennett6942]

Thanks Lewis, I really needed a good laugh today!! Mitch McCon....😂😂

[@MonicainLancaster]

Thank you so very much for filling the huge gap in available comedy to help soften the world’s hard news with humor. I’m sure I can’t be the only one who is thankful for your comic relief! ❤

[@andreawalker7138]

I really enjoy your Rantcasts. Thank you so much for being here for me, and for helping me keep my sanity.

[@bettyneff2172]

Bless your little pea pickin heart for trying to bestow common sense upon the ignorant masses. You speak the truth.

[@hoboroadie4623]

🤣 I haven't seen the show yet, but I know that Mister Black will find a better way to scoff. Ya had me at McConnell.

[@shadowlouise]

McCon. That's the point.

[@jackrimbaud3826]

Another great episode, Lou! Thanks so much for putting these up here and on itunes. Love ya bro!!!

[@MRantzWI]

Lewis !!! We are out here !!! We hear you !!! We see you !!! We are with you !!! Please keep up the RantCasts... we need them and love them. Doesn't matter if it's a Rants or a Rantz ;-) They're both equally good !

[@joelkaplan8435]

Your rants help me through my day. We are here listening

[@joquartobeans398]

Same

[@leopardscarf]

Hooves on concrete crack and split. Unbelievably painful, not to mention the damage caused by the impact on joints, etc.. So, sneakers in the city? Absolutely! What colors do they come in? Love you lots, Lewis!

[@daven432]

Listening in a home that has major roof damage from the June 29th straight line winds. Trees were flying! Some were without power for 14 days or more.

[@judithrapier7500]

I am only 72 but I can relate. It became necessary to isolate during COVID but I became almost content with that. No family dramas. Now with numbers going up again this feeling content being alone is OK with me. I live in a red state so even going to pick up groceries makes me anxious.

[@angelanoe7223]

Lol, I can relate @judithrapier. I live smack dab in the middle of Mormon country here in beautiful Utah and am secretly and gleefully rejoicing every time "he" gets another indictment. There are no yellow people here, no brown people, very few red people and God forbid 0 black people. 0. I'm white, sorry about that, and am still waiting on whatever it is I'm entitled to, but it really is stunning to me how I have to hide the fact that Donald Trump makes me physically I'll he disgusts me so much.I just don't get why he is not wearing an Orange jumpsuit and shuffling around in chains. It has astonished me he has so many people under some kind of weird voodoo supernatural power to the point of he steals their money from his campaigns and they continue to give him millions and hang on to whatever bs comes spewing out of his mouth everyday. I would love to wake up and see him in handcuffs and wearing that orange jumpsuit.....Cheers, sorry for the rant but damned if I don't feel a little better.

[@nickkacures2304]

After a hard day of work I’m hitting the hot tub with a tall cold beer 🍺 and 40 minutes of absolute RANT!!!!!! Bring it on LEWIS 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@skycloud7637]

Nothing like a rant...that is EXACTLY on point! Love you Lewis!

[@themanwnoname3454]

I live in a very conservative state in a homeless shelter bc the local government wouldn’t renew my voucher for some reason I was never told- & I asked today if anyone had ever been homeless, became not homeless (qualified for a housing voucher), and then announced “I’ve decided I don’t like living in a home, I’d like to be homeless again.” I was assured that had never happened before. Super fun living in the USA in 2023!

[@The808Thug]

Lewis black u are a legend

[@suefinelli9500]

Straight line wind caused a tree to fall on my house in 2012.

[@bettyhowery8958]

i absolutely love you Lewis! Keep ranting my friend.

[@jkmil4981]

Everyone I've ever known who lived in a country with socialized medicine told me that they think the American system is nuts. They have no complaints about wait times, for elective procedures and claim that emergency care has no life threatening delays, like our politicians would like us to believe.

[@johndance1362]

You had me at Mitch Mc ............. Connell. I remembered from my Florida elementary education that the giant land tortoise moved at a remarkably slow pace. The same applies to Sen. McConnell. Especially when exacerbated by a stroke.... Okay, move along, nothing to see here. Thanks Lewis for helping me get through my day!😹

[@christaporche]

I am so happy, Lewis, that you have the ability to be calm. I always worried about you during your STAND-UPS.

[@shellb1633]

Stand together people ❤ 'Love to all. Thanks Lewis ❤

[@whatsgarydoin2018]

I just got diagnosed with cancer a month ago. Already doing chemo, lost my job due to time off needed for chemo and surgeries and by the end of the month will loose my insurance. Love 'Merica

[@denised3469]

Maybe Mitch was having a “don’t trust a fart moment” 😂😂💩

Never trust a questionable fart!🤣

[@wolffalexander2]

[@sgtayl221]

The best article review ever, sneakers for horse. Oh my it will be ingrained in my head forever. Thank you Lewis

[@rutabagasteu]

Straight line wind damage is like hurricane force winds, without the hurricane.

[@tinajohnson8984]

I watched one of your comedy shows . recently. I'm 69 I found you so funny in a true sense.i enjoyed your skit.glad to hear your rants.bless you .keep up what you love.

[@fredfloyd68]

Lewis is great....so funny...and he does tell it like it is...jam on....

[@naomiseedberg2245]

That storm came through here, metro Detroit first. We had the same warnings. The damage was horrible. Over 110,000 without power. Trees down on houses and cars....that straight line wind was unreal.

[@ryaneastunder7383]

Thanks for the rant brother we need it

[@nicolewesten5118]

Shoes are used for miniature horses (and maybe ponies?) for when they go inside buildings, so their hooves don't slip on the flooring. There are miniature horse therapy animals, and when they go inside, they wear shoes.

[@Co-opSource]

Thanks Lewis! Goat

[@ezye8513]

I appreciate very much that you made your points without leaving a clue of your political stance! I then still look forward to attending your show sometime.

If you don't know why horses need sneakers, then you've never played basketball with one.

Straight line wind damage, simply meaning not rotating like a tornado or hurricane. We get a fair amount of that down here in Florida at certain times...think Derecho...

[@stevesargent4269]

We are listening.

[@diabolikaldragon9114]

They named this AI.... MTG !? That's F..ucking perfect. Love you JOHN STEWART !

[@mightyone3737]

I'm pretty sure 'straight line winds' means the wind isn't forming a cyclone, it's just incredibly strong gusts of wind, it can also be more widespread damage I think, tornadoes can be extremely precise in their randomness.

[@djangofett4879]

Marjorie Green looks like Hoggle from The Labyrinth. i cant be the only one thinking this

[@TammeraFreno]

Well done, thank you, Lewis ❤

[@BabbetteChoquette-po5hx]

Thank you Lewis for all you cover, I'm 69, live off the grid and don't have cable tv, don't want it.

[@jrminniti]

There is a spot on the lens, great video though Lewis

[@_stephanie-A]

Thank you I needed this RANT

[@philrabe910]

10:45... I thought I knew "wind". I was mistaken. And I grew up with Florida gales springing up out of nowhere on a perfect sunny day... In my old Florida days I'd call this thing a "squall line" but what I experienced kept squalling on... And on. Sideways wind doesn't sound very bad, does it? I guess it's all the shit blowing IN the wind that damages faces, eyes, buildings, etc. You see, I was crossing a large parking lot during a mild rain storm... Then a windy freight train blew through. yikes. I ran to the nearest store for shelter and hoped the giant picture windows would hold up.

[@diannakroeger7381]

We are listening and understanding

[@lindajones2558]

Thank you. I don’t know how you haven’t had a stoke yet, I certainly hope you never do, but you keep me from having one. Thank you for letting me lose my shit vicariously. Take care of yourself Mr. Black.

👍👍🏿🤗🤣😂❤️

[@moridgeway]

Thank you. Just too true.

[@dogit1840]

It happened in Maine last month I was in Wells Maine power went out for like 3 hours maybe longer no storm no nothing. my guess is everybody had their AC on

[@joquartobeans398]

Lewis, love you, made me laugh & cry.

[@janicebelfiore856]

He is having TIAs ( small strokes) or Petit Mal seizures. He had recent falls. He has had traumatic head injury with the falls. He needs medical care. Don't get me wrong, he is like a cancer in the senate. He needs to retire

[@Awilawiljeeg-su7ik]

Thank you

[@Mizdcon]

Mitch McCon....had a look on his face that you get when you neglectfully trust a fart. The people around him kept looking down and side stepping whatever was down there. Too funny.

[@xedgexpax]

Yes, that's pretty much what it is, a big gust of wind comes straight down and damages everything in it's path. It's like a tornado, but not in twisted form. We are getting them more and more in the north east in the past few years. Tornado's too. They are smaller than in the south, and don't usually do much damage, but they can be dangerous, too. It's pretty much, just get inside, when you get the alerts. Should be safe in most buildings as long as they don't have structural issues to begin with.

[@willwebber6496]

"Benefits of slavery" Yeah, I'm also thinking about the benefits of global warning, particularly when the ocean swallows Florida.

[@davidg813]

McConnell's got two reasons to hang on to that job number one is his ego number two is if he dies in office is Survivor's get 100% of his salary for death benefit it just amazes me how they take some good care of themselves when it comes to that stuff but we're left out hanging on a limb for medical and so forth. My sister's 82 she chipped front tooth she pays $80 a month for dental coverage the dentist told her she wants that Crown it's going to cost her $ 4 000 and if she wants an implant it's going to cost her $6,000 her insurance company will pay about $200 of that what the heck is wrong with this picture

[@johngibson4874]

Make that one reason: ego. McConnell and his wife are multimillionaires. His family doesn't even need the $200,000 salary.

[@davidg813]

@@johngibson4874 we may not need it but they're greedy that's what they all want their greedy there's never enough they want more which is why they sold their souls to Wall Street

[@OtayBuckwheat]

Every time I see someone trotting down the road on a horse it angers me because their hooves weren't designed for pavement. Horses don't need designer shoes, but in many cases they need shoes.

[@robinbeers6689]

When does this come to an end? Good question, Lewis.
