I’m British and had never heard of this guy, sounds like a man that wanted everyone in life to have better.
I'm American and I'd never heard of him...
Thanks for a great story, Lamont. I'm a history teacher in Pa. and was just telling my students about the King Fish. I read an article that stated he may have been struck by one of the 61 bullets fired by his bodyguards. Also, as Long was an outspoken critic of FDR, there was a bit of relief among FDR's staff that Huey would not be around to speak against the president.
He had an aide and condidant named Seymour Weiss (no relation to Dr. Weiss) who unknown to Sen Long reported to J Edgar Hoover's office about Long's activities. Hoover despised Long and wanted to find grounds for prosecuction and possible imprisonment.
I remember reading about this. Very sad but it was said that huey long would be better dead than alive due to how he did things and many people hated him. The guy that came to talk to him tried to warn him 3 times.
I’ve always had an admiration for Huey Long, and had he lived, FDR would
Have had a serious challenger to the 1936 presidential Democratic nomination. His slogan was “Every man a king, but no one wears a crown”, and he was very critical of the New Deal, believing that it did not go far enough when it came to relieving human suffering. What set him apart from most other white southern Democrats was that he got ahead by appealing to economic needs rather than to the idea of white supremacy. He was for the poor man, and it didn’t matter what color he was. What I really like about that statue of him over his gravesite is that it’s almost as if he’s still watching over the capital he helped build. Thanks for sharing Lamont.
I never heard of him he sounds like one incredible human being it's a shame he was murdered may he rest in peace thanks Lamont I love your videos I think I learn more from you than I ever learned in school take care and God bless
I remember Huey's name, but I didn't know what he did.
He was a communist dictator. Good thing he was stopped
Good job Lamont. Huey long was for the common man as well as himself. He was responsible for getting many miles of rural roads paved, schools and free hospitals built. The book all the Kings Men written by Robert Penn Warren was allegedly based on his life. Later a movie of the same name staring Broderick Crawford. To the common man in Louisiana the was a saint. to others, not so much.
Thanks for that info. Gonna see if I can watch it 🙂
Yes sir he was THE MAN 👨 🙌 👏 👌 💪 💯
Free school books and a 5 cent public phone call and that lasted until the 70s or 80s
All politicians take but not all of them give back Huey Long
Gave back over and over again
As I was watching this video I was thinking that this story sounds familiar. I was racking my brain to remember, until you mentioned 'All the King's Men." That's it! That's where I remember it from! Thanks!
He was also a pedophile, so there’s that problem.
I never heard of him but I really appreciate you telling us how you explaining how his life was like before he got assassinated which is so sad to hear about that. But his legacy would live on forever. May he Rest In Peace 😭😭😭
U learn something new every day, never heard this story before. Very well told, great job !
"Now just remember what Huey Long said- every man's a king and I'm the king around here"- Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire
Huey Long made no apologies for expressing himself and dropping truth gems. Rest in peace to the Kingfish
Huey P Long sounds like a Man who Believed in Feeding the Needy not The Greedy. Rest in Power. Stay Strong B Well People ✊🏽❤️
Perhaps that is why the Kennedys were assassunated. They also wanted to help the ordinary people.
The kennedys double crossed the mafia.
Huey's son Russell Long was a longtime U.S. Senator from Louisiana. Huey's brother Earl Long was also Governor of Louisiana.
Just wanted to thank you really because I greatly appreciate the videos that you put out on TH-cam also I like listening to you because of your intelligence and you have a very good voice for narrating
I watched Unsolved Mysteries and I’ll bet I’ve seen every episode they made plus the reruns, but I don’t remember this guy. TY for the story of his life Lamont. You always do a great job! 😎
A very fascinating Vlog Lamont.I had never heard of him before but it sounds like he was a person that was going to make a positive change for so many people. It was so amazing to see that the bullet holes are still there after so long. R.I.P Mr.Long,sad to hear you didn't have the chance to make a difference.
Lived in La. For 65 years and learned more from you than I did in school,, Great story Lamont.
Plot twist . The man that killed him actually exchanged words with long who then responded back to him was actually the owner of the hotel 🏨. At the time left his personal suite not knowing what would happen next . I had no idea they actually knew each other
John Goodman portrayed him in a film once Kingfish
Fun fact look at the movie Everybody's All-American . John Goodman climbing on his statue.
@@mdpo6419 haha yes
Thank you Lamont for telling us about this man! I never knew about him either! I have learned so much from you! Be safe in your travels! You are always in my prayers 🙏
Rich people employ poorer people. A lot of politicians forget that when they persecute them. Anyway, Excellent job, Lamont! This was indeed, FASCINATING!
My Grandfather was always telling us what a great man, Huey Long was.....Great Story, Thanks!!!
I watched the episode in question and in that episode the think that Dr Carl Weis was not the Killer , rather it was a bodyguard.
you're bringing me back to 8th grade Louisiana history class. we had a field trip to the capital and got to see the bullet hole in the wall from the assignation still there today. he did a lot of great things for our state.
My great aunt was a friend of his and she had the most interesting stories of him. I’m not politically of his leaning but this was a tragic death. He prolly would’ve run for Prez. Perhaps a progressive before his time.
Great topic!
As usual great job with this one Lamont! 👍
Good stuff Lamont… I knew Huey was a politician from Louisiana but didn’t know much about him… I did Google his widow after watching this and found out she died in Colorado where she was living near her daughter at the time… Didn’t say why she wasn’t buried near him but she was also a Senator in her own right after he was killed… Thanks for sharing!!!
Hello from Shreveport Louisiana 🙋🏻♀️💆🏻♀️💆🏻♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️💆🏻♀️💆🏻♀️💋💋❤❤❤❤❤
Lamont thank you for this video
One of the most fascinating stories you've ever done. Excellent job, Lamont. Keep up the good work.
Most Americans want the rich to pay their fair share. Not sure if that qualifies as punishing success.
But nice informative video nonetheless about a historical figure in American political history.
Thank you, Lamont
Thanks another Great Job !!
Thanks for sharing. I have never heard this story. Great video Lamont.
MR. LAMONT,ME WATCHING THIS VIDEO AND HEAR YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH SO BOLDLY MAKES ME RESPECT YOU MORE AND MORE.YOU NOT ONLY SPEAK THE TRUTH BUT YOU ARE A REALISTIC MAN,SIR I WISH YOU THE BEST LIFE HAS TO OFFER,BE SAFE ON YOUR JOURNEYS ACROSS AMERICA..
So true!!
Hey Lamount, I loved Unsolved Mysteries. I remember the episode about Huey Long. Thanks for the video.☮️
I learn so much about history from your channels!
Another fascinating location, thank you!
You can get to the top/outside of that building - really neat view. When we were there a couple years ago a very kind Vietnam vet was working there and he pointed out all the sights. It's worth seeing.
I love History, Lamont! Thank you for covering this... BTW, $6.00 gas here..
And?
Pay attention to the negative comments,Mr L says! He ruined anything positive he's doing, videos of the dead and telling their stories. He should never include negative politics if he wants supporters. Gas prices are doubled in Europe. America has the lowest. Inflation is everywhere, due to many factors.
@@teri1945 True Thank You!
@@teri1945 exactly, inflation is happening all over the world. And not one particular person can be blamed. In Australia we are paying $15.00 for lettuce (if you can get it).
@@jamiegoldie4036 Wow, $15 for a head of lettuce if you can even find it, and you live in Australia? I've heard gas prices in Europe are $12+ dollars a gallon. I just got gas here in Florida USA, for less than $5 a gallon.
Thanks for this one, Lamont. I have lived in the South all my life & have always heard of Long but never knew his story. Now I do. Really enjoyed this one!
Just when I thought I knew everything you post a video reminding me how little I do know. Great job on the story
Thanks Lamont very interesting piece of history!
You do a very good job Lamont. Thank you for all you do
The good people who actually care about the people don’t win elections and if they do they usually get done in..We live in a sad world nowadays..
👍 Spot on. And it is very, very sad and terribly unfair, and actually it seems to be getting worse. Although I cant imagine how much worse than it already is. Although it's not too often, when I do see a genuinely good and deserving person win or succeed or whatever the case, it really does the heart good. I pray daily for our world and I try to do what I can for the greater good. 🙏🏻 Have a good evening. 🙂
@@BooBooKitty65 sadly the evil entries are in control at this time and have been for decades but we didn’t really see it.But now times are getting worse true evil is out there for everyone to see.God bless from Australia 🇦🇺
@@shellybelly712 Yes, you are so right and it's very scary. I was just talking about this subject the other day with my husband and I mentioned to him that I believe the evil is in full force and in charge right now. Like you said, it's quite obvious now, evil is right in our faces and it does not try to hide anymore. It's so scary but I try my best to stay focused on God and goodness, it's difficult sometimes but we have to stay with our faith and remain strong. Thank you, and many blessings to you as well. 🙏🏻 Have a good day.-Judy from the USA 🇺🇸 PS- I lhave always loved Australia, and your flag is awesome. 🐨 🇭🇲 🦘
@@BooBooKitty65 Yes.It’s no longer hiding anymore..Stay safe to you and your family.xx
I agree with the presidential comparison, I'll just say this lower gas prices and putting America and Americans and freedom and democracy 1st we need Trump back asap, keep up the good work Lamont and stay safe out there bro....
Oh brother
I'm surprised his statue wasn't taken down like the others were, they are all about history
You picked a good day to go because you captured some gorgeous clouds in the background! Kind of ominous. I’m glad you got to go inside.
Excellent video Lamont. i could listen to your stories all day long❤❤
I'm always learning history from your videos Lamont! Interesting man & life story. 👍
Personality is one thing politics are another
Thank you!! Interesting story, one I never would have heard if it wasn't for you!
from what I remember is that Huey Long survive for 30 hours and those were his last words before he died. I saw that episode of unsolved mysteries
Just learned something. Had no idea this guy existed. Thank you Lamont. Another great informative video!
Never heard of him, thanks for sharing!
Learned about this guy in school i wanna say middle school. I remember watching the movie. Seeing this brought back those memories and i was in NO a few years back... never knew they put him right there at the capital.
I've heard of him. I watched unsolved mysteries also.. still do sometimes lol
Very interesting Lamont many thanks for sharing. RIP Huey Long 🙏. 👍👊🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thanks, Lamont, for the fascinating info about Huey Long. By the way, the state capital building is absolutely beautiful.
Great video Lamont!
Always learn something new with you brother!! Also, thank you for having the courage to speak the tru...never mind...Great stuff, as always brother!!
Wow, thank you for this. Thanks for showing us the bullet holes, and the spot where this guy fell
I remember the episode on unsolved mysteries and I believe there was a documentary on his life called all the Kings men loved or disliked him he was for the people. And his upbringing wasn't easy either. good upload.
That was during FDR’s administration, he was immensely popular because The New Deal helped pull the country out of The Great Depression, but maybe after that he could have had a chance at the presidency.
So interesting. Thank you
Thanks Lamont for a lesson is History, keep doing Yeah thing. Shouting you out from the Rotten Apple AKA NYC.
I'm gonna go with mean tweets, stable stock market, affordable groceries, and 1.45 per gallon gas. My bank account misses President Trump.
Me too.Teresa Frogue
I.now stay broke
God Bless America and God Bless President Trump MAGA
May he rest in peace. Good commentary. 👍
Great Video! I never heard of this before .....Thank U for sharing..
Lamont stay safe man we need you . you are a historian
Thank you Lamont for being such a honest and straight forward person, I Agree with all of your saying.😊👍🙏
I'm so glad you had a chance to visit Baton Rouge! I wonder why his episode was on Unsolved Mysteries if they knew who killed him? Next time you're in town, you deserve a New Orleans style Daquiri on this Bayou Girl! Thanks for all you do!
Great story telling LaMont. I love American History and this was interesting to learn.
Wowee, ALL those flags it's beautiful..
Being from and growing up in Louisiana, Huey P Long, ( and when you refer to him you call him Huey P Long and accent the P ) was the closest thing to a dictator and had lots of enemies. My dad remembered the day a crowd rotten egged him. You can read a lot more in Huey Long by T Harry Williams and Huey Long’s Louisiana Hayride. Those are just a couple of books. Also look at the incident of the “Reveille Seven”
Since you have visited so many graveyards and cemeteries, and seen thousands of monuments. Have you given any thought of the monument you would like for yourself?
Also curious have you ever spent the night in a graveyard?
Keep up the amazing work my brother 💪🏿🧐🔥🤙🏿🤙🏿
Wish my Uncle had of been my History Teacher…maybe I wouldn’t have turned out to be such a bum🤷🏿
Got a winner with this one. Enjoyed it very much.
I remember that episode of Unsolved Mysteries too. They did the reenactment right there in the capital building. Interesting to see the bullet hole left behind too.
Very interesting! Thanks!
I enjoyed this video Lamont
Another GREAT VIDEO!!! I'm proud of you for speaking the truth about President Trump & Biden. In South Carolina gas is around $4.79 & in Arizona it's around $6.00. I was going to go home for the summer, it's about 1,956. But, with gas going up all the time & I'm on low social security so I can't afford it!!!!! Oh, I know the name Amos, but it is pronounced A-Miss & of course & David. Take care of yourself & watch out it on that road, please!!!!!
Gas was so cheap bc Trump's economy was collapsed due to Covid. Millions lost jobs in restaurants, bars, hotels, airlines. People were quarantined. No one was on the roads. If Trump had taken Covid seriously, who knows how many people might still be alive. So you want cheap gas? Tell it to the famlies of the people who lost their lives bc Trump downplayed Covid and pretty much did nothing. Except to say inject with bleach or stick ultraviolet light sticks where the sun don't shine. Now I remember why I unsubbed this guy some time ago. His videos still find their way on my home screen. BTW, for all the good Huey Long did, he was as corrupt as the day is long. Do some research on your own time if you don't believe me.
Wow, interesting… thank you!
Great video! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
My 2nd favorite politician from Louisiana.
I think Lamont needs to learn how much exploitation goes into growing a American business.
They say his own bodyguards may have shot him in the mayhem of the moment, by accident or on purpose. We may never know for sure . RIP Senator Long.
I enjoyed this presentation of Huey P. Long.
Wow this is cool thank you 😊
I watched nearly all your videos, hearing your take on Trump, and The State of our Country brings much joy and pleasure to my heart....
Dollar seventy five gas? When? Haven't paid $1.75 in 15 years...
Thanks lamont....I agree with you , he probably would have run for president and just might have won ....stay safe my friend...✌
I love all of your stories and channels so sad to hear that this man was assassinated!
Lamont .. I Wish I could go in the capital building
As second later ....
Lamont I spoke to soon , I'm inside the capital building 😂😂💪
Idk about that capitol building, it's unique, but the standard domes are just so nice.
Not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed
Very sad. Seeing the bullet holes or where they were was unbelievable.
Peace out brother.
Love you Lamont I agree with you about Donald Trump. I do miss him
Fascinating
