I just want to thank the Racket News team for streaming on Rumble. I think it's important to do our best to sidestep the most censorious entities when possible, and anything that routes around google/youtube is a step in the right direction.

Oddly, the thing I most enjoyed with tonight’s podcast was the human dynamic between the two of you in the last 15-30 minutes. By the way, I am now a 58 year-old empty nester, with two adult children. Matt, you made me recall the person I was at 40, completely exhausted from balancing work and kids - and desperate to just sign-off and get your kids in bed. Walter, you are the person I am now, completely rested and happy to engage in interesting conversation all night, let’s put on a pot of coffee! You guys are the absolute best and always entertain me. Matt, get some sleep!

Pushups, pffft. A real pennance is to go the Yoel Roth route and get yourself a Hillary Clinton body pillow and cry yourself to sleep and scream "IT'S HER TURN" while clutching it. I hear it's also the best way to get yourself a special brain so you can be a disinformation expert ;)

Geat skit material here for Jimmy Dore’s character Hillary Supporter!

I respectfully beg to differ.

Matt might want to try one of these body pillows instead.

If he's on a budget that is.

If the sky is the limit he could go here.

These can talk so the possibilities are endless for a full Bill C. experience. He could probably buy a Hillary mask on line & then program the doll to belittle him throughout the entire session while periodically interjecting, "What do 14 year olds have that I don't? Huh you bastard? T....t....tell me th...at....you...wattled ol mudderfucker..." right before the doll bursts into tears & soul wrenching sobs."

Should be fun.

To really make it kinky Matt could put on a Trump mask & comfort her at the end.

In my mind, this will be MST3000 but with politics.

I will always "like" MST3000. Wherever. Whenever. But, no. Things are up for grabs, and I am counting on insight from our hosts.

Careful not to overplay a cynical hand - food prices are up 20-25% over the last 3 years.

Love it. I left a comment for an LA Times opinion piece (praising Hunter Biden as the "Troll of the Year" for making the House Republicans look bad) that was blocked for containing "offensive content." Here is my post. Please tell me what was offensive about it?

"Wow...let your partisanship overcome your good sense. Being a troll is not a good thing. Hunter Biden did bad things. There is evidence that Hunter and other members of his family, including his father, have engaged in corrupt activities. Rather than look at the substance of the issue, you prefer to reward bad behavior. Shame on you."

My comments were harsh, but not offensive or abusive...but the progressive elites don't want criticism.

The inaugural Matt and Walter political comedy show was a hit! Thanks, guys.

I'm a never Trumper and a longtime subscriber but I'm thinking of canceling after you and Walter laughed cynically about food costs in America. You both live in a privileged bubble if you think the 20% rise in food costs in the last year or so is something to laugh at. Many tens of millions of Americans are not laughing as they struggle to feed themselves and their families without completely busting their budget. This will be a huge issue for Biden's re-election bid and a huge tailwind for Trump. Get your head straight, Matt.

I caught that too. Not at all cool, especially as they rightly slam Paul Krugman for telling us how stupid we all are because we don't realize how great we're doing.

I have been at home and not going to stores for the most part for 3 years. And I went to a supermarket last week and I was shocked at the very very high prices for everything. Prices have gone up 50 60 70% for food in the past 3 years. A candidate who talks about how high food prices are and that families cannot afford to feed themselves is going to be in touch with the average voter. Matt and Walter should not have been laughing at that.

Biden only cares about when his next vanilla scoop is coming his way 🤪
