* Huey Long addressing the Senate in the first video:
"How many men ever went to a barbecue and would let one man take off the table what they intended for 9/10 of the people to eat?  The only way you'll ever be able to feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back and to bring back some of that grub he got no business with."
grub = slang for food (= bouffe)
