Summary

Lewis checks in this week from the Midwest as The Rantcast reaches its 100th episode! Triple digits! A huge THANK YOU to all the fans and ranters for all the support, and of course the rants, as we hit our centennial episode. One of Lewis’s stops in the Midwest this week was in Indianapolis, Indiana. While in Indianapolis, Lewis stops by one of his favorite places, the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library. While this may be the 100th episode, Lewis will be celebrating Kurt Vonnegut’s 100th birthday on November 11th! One thing our host wants to showcase is the free expression graffiti wall, located just outside the museum and library. Lewis is sure that’s something the famed writer would have loved to see. “And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.” -Kurt Vonnegut The live rants come from this past weekend’s shows at the Packard Music Hall in Warren, OH and the Victoria Theatre in Dayton, OH. Lewis’ Grammy-nominated special, Thanks For Risking Your Life is available now! https://tlbrecords.lnk.to/LewisWE SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com/live SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST https://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com FOLLOW LEWIS www.lewisblack.com www.youtube.com/officiallewisblack www.instagram.com/thelewisblack www.facebook.com/thelewisblack www.twitter.com/thelewisblack www.tiktok.com/@thelewisblack New episodes arrive every Wednesday.

0:07.0	And the rubber chicken says,
0:09.0	No news is good news.
0:16.0	But what would I know? I'm just a rubber chicken.
0:20.0	Yep. No news is good news. Sirie Baba, we've got to get on.
0:25.5	Oh, we go, no, I'm going to talk to you just a moment from now. Hello and welcome to Lewis Black's
0:32.1	Rantcast 100 and it's entitled Episode 100. What else would I call it? And we're standing here,
0:40.2	or I am, or all seven of me, in front of the free expression graffiti wall here at one of my
0:48.4	favorite places on earth, the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library. I am the chairman of the board
0:53.4	here and it has been a pleasure to come
0:56.2	down here today. You can hear that they love me here in Indianapolis, and here comes a private car.
1:05.3	The cops are going to take us out of here to Fort Wayne in just a second, and I just wanted to be sure that we had a proper send-off.

1:25.6	because my exactitude is off, we will be celebrating Kurt Vonnegut's 100th birthday.
1:31.2	Huh? How do what they call that? Synchronicity. This is the free expression of all.
1:36.8	People from the community from all around can come do whatever they want here. Put whatever they want up there.
1:43.1	And I think, I believe, and of course it's putting words in his mouth,
1:48.8	that Kurt would have been really happy with this.
1:51.8	Well, I could go on and on and on, but this is our 100th episode.
1:56.0	And so I'm going to leave it over to those folks from Dayton and Warren
