Summary

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 lasting impression of what happened back in 2020. And the problems still persist as we grapple with continued homegrown terrorism with the most recent attacks that occurred in New Orleans and in Las Vegas.   The unfortunate end to everything that’s happened to us since Columbine is the evidentiality that we are just filling the calendar with all the traumas we’ve experienced as a society. Just celebrations of all the pain broken down by the days of the year. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

entitled january 6th that's right yep and of course why are we calling it january 6th. That's right. Yep. And of course, why are we calling it January 6th? Because it is

0:42.4

January 6th. And because that brings up a lot of things, because it is January 6th. And it will

0:49.4

always be January 6th. January 6th has a meaning beyond itself. And it will for a while until we

kind of come to somewhat of an agreement that what occurred there was completely egregious on a lot

of the people's parts who showed up and ran in there and started beating on cops and scaring the shit out of a congressman who I don't

1:55.1

I certainly have never been a violent person in that sense.

1:59.8

And they never felt driven to it. But sometimes when I'm reading the

2:04.7

paper in the morning, it's why I scream at the top of my lungs. But let's get back to the point.

2:10.8

The point is it's January 6th. All right. And in order for us to kind of get over the disagreement on what occurred on that date in 2020,
