631. Part 2 of Thomas Patterson joining us to discuss his new book, American Populist: Huey Long of Louisiana. "Thomas E. Patterson's monumental biography of Huey Long is a profound reevaluation of his life and legacy, recognizing him as an inspirational progressive thinker, populist hero, and radical influence on the New Deal. Long transformed the politics of Louisiana by standing for the interests of citizens whom state officials had historically ignored. He eased suffrage restrictions so that more people could vote, and voters endorsed his program of more robust government services and shifting the tax burden to those better able to pay. In the United States Senate,... he advocated loudly and ceaselessly for the redistribution of wealth, expanding public works, increasing the money supply, insuring bank deposits, paying old-age pensions and veterans' benefits, delivering a minimum income for families, and funding college and vocational education. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, along with other politicians and pundits, dismissed Long's proposals as nonsense put forth by a reckless demagogue in search of votes.... Despite several biographies, acclaimed novels, and historical studies in the years since Long's death, his reputation today is mostly caricature: a spellbinding speaker, a dictator, a populist firebrand who was unprincipled and corrupt. Using previously untapped personal papers of Long and his son Russell, other primary sources, recent scholarship, and his experience as a lawyer, Patterson provides a necessary corrective as he analyzes the contours of Long's career, deconstructs the elements of his success, undercuts several myths related to his time in office, and explains the circumstances that led to his ultimate downfall. The result is the most comprehensive, balanced, and analytical study of the Kingfish to date." Thomas Patterson founded the Patterson Law Firm in Chicago, which focuses on helping businesses manages crises.  Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

Movie of the Year: 1996The Hunchback of Notre DameExploring Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" on the Movie of the Year PodcastDiscover Disney's boldest animated film through the lens of the Movie of the Year podcast as they dive into the ambitious and controversial 1996 adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This animated classic challenges traditional Disney boundaries with its exploration of religion, sensuality, and a captivating musical score. Urban apartment dwellers, take note: this episode offers a fresh perspective on a film that dares to be daring.Religion in Disney's The Hunchback of Notre DameOne of the central themes of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is its exploration of religion. The podcast's hosts delve into how the film portrays faith as both a source of refuge and a tool of oppression. Judge Claude Frollo, voiced with chilling gravitas by Tony Jay, embodies religious hypocrisy, twisting doctrine to justify his sinister deeds. Meanwhile, the cathedral of Notre Dame itself offers sanctuary and hope, symbolizing the redemptive aspects of faith.The hosts highlight how the film's darker tone resonates with urban audiences familiar with the complexities of modern spirituality. They note how Quasimodo's deep connection to the cathedral—both his prison and his home—reflects the dual nature of organized religion, capable of both nurturing and constraining the human spirit.Sensuality and Desire: The Horniness of Disney's HunchbackFor a Disney film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame stands out for its overt sensuality. The podcast tackles the infamous “Hellfire” sequence, in which Frollo's inner turmoil over his lust for Esmeralda is rendered in a fiery, operatic number. The hosts marvel at the audacity of Disney animators to include a scene that grapples with such adult themes.Esmeralda, voiced by Demi Moore, is another focal point of discussion. Her character—confident, compassionate, and unapologetically alluring—challenges traditional Disney princess tropes. The hosts discuss how her portrayal aligns with a more mature understanding of desire and autonomy, appealing to an adult sensibility often overlooked in animated films. They also note how this layer of complexity mirrors the romantic struggles of urban life, where relationships often blur the line between attraction and complication.Alan Menken's Music: A Symphony of EmotionAlan Menken's score for The Hunchback of Notre Dame is nothing short of operatic, and the podcast dedicates ample time to unpacking its grandeur. The sweeping melodies and choral arrangements lend the film an epic quality that elevates its narrative stakes. Songs like “Out There” and “God Help the Outcasts” capture the yearning and vulnerability of the characters, resonating with anyone who has ever felt marginalized.The hosts also discuss how the music's blend of Latin liturgical elements and Broadway sensibilities creates a unique auditory experience. They point out how the score's sophistication feels tailor-made for urban audiences accustomed to cultural diversity and artistic ambition. Menken's work not only serves the story but also challenges the listener to engage with the film on a deeper emotional level.Why Urban Audiences Should Revisit Disney's The Hunchback of Notre DameAs the Movie of the Year podcast episode illustrates, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is far more than just another entry in Disney's animated canon. Its unflinching exploration of religion, its daring embrace of adult themes, and its unparalleled musical score make it a film that demands to be revisited.Key Takeaways from the Podcast:The dual nature of faith as depicted in

The woman you just heard is famed New York character actress Jan Miner. In the mid-1940s Jan was on multiple soap operas, like Lora Lawton. Many top shows were produced by Frank and Anne Hummert. The Hummert radio ties grew from the prominent Chicago advertising agency, Blackett-Sample-and Hummert. Frank Hummert was a celebrated copywriter. His wife, Anne Schumacher Ashenhurst Hummert began as an editorial assistant and quickly earned respect throughout the organization thanks to her ingenuity, insight, and resolve. By the 1940s, the duo controlled four-and-a-half hours of national weekday broadcast schedules. They brought in more than half of the network daytime hour advertising revenue and their shows received more than five million pieces of correspondence annually. When they switched their productions from Chicago to New York, they began employing some of New York's most famous character actors. At 11AM eastern time from New York, Amanda of Honeymoon Hill signed on starring Joy Hathaway. The show used a familiar Hummert theme: The common girl who marries into a rich, aristocratic family. She lived in the fictional Honeymoon Hill in Virginia. When Amanda Of Honeymoon Hill signed off, another Hummert show, Second Husband, signed on at 11:30 starring Helen Menken. Ms. Menken is perhaps best remembered today as Humphrey Bogart's first wife, but she was a talented actress in her own right. Throughout its history, one of the show's announcers was Andre Baruch.

On today's Sara Carter Show, Rabbi Yaakov Menken of the Coalition for Jewish Values joins Sara to break down the Biden administration's dreadful response to the wave of anti-semitism crashing on American Jews. Instead of condemning the hate coming from American campuses and newsrooms, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris issued a blanket, tone-deaf statement condemning hate and announcing a "National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia". Pathetic.Rabbi Menken also shares the CJV's most recent ad calling on the NBA, MLB, and NFL to condemn Black Lives Matter and their anti-semitic rhetoric. It shouldn't be difficult to disavow groups that post images of terrorist paragliders, but the radical left continues to double down on vile hate and refuses to call out the racism of inconvenient organizations.

(Original Airdate - November 4th, 2018) The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a 1996 American animated musical drama film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 34th Disney animated feature film and the seventh produced during the Disney Renaissance, it is loosely based on the 1831 novel of the same name by Victor Hugo. The film was directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise and produced by Don Hahn, from a screenplay written by Tab Murphy, Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and the writing team of Bob Tzudiker and Noni White. Featuring the voices of Tom Hulce, Demi Moore, Tony Jay, and Kevin Kline, the film follows Quasimodo, the deformed and confined bell-ringer of Notre Dame, and his yearning to explore the outside world and be accepted by society, against the wishes of his cruel, puritanical foster father Claude Frollo, who also wants to exterminate Paris' Romani population. The film is considered to be one of Disney's darkest animated films due to its mature subject matter such as infanticide, lust, damnation, antiziganism, genocide, and sin, despite the changes made from the original source material in order to ensure a G rating from the MPAA. The musical score was written by Alan Menken, with songs written by Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, who had previously collaborated on Pocahontas (1995). The pair later also collaborated on 2007's Enchanted. The Hunchback of Notre Dame premiered at the Louisiana Superdome on June 19, 1996, and was released in the United States on June 21, to generally positive reviews. It was a commercial success, grossing over $325 million worldwide and becoming the fifth highest-grossing film of 1996. The film received Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for its musical score. A stage adaptation of the film was produced by Walt Disney Theatrical in 1999. A direct-to-video sequel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame II, was released in 2002. HAIKUs-- "Quasimodo sad. The bellringer of Paris, Is he King of Fools?" -Spro "Hey, Quasimodo! Who's that sarcastic gargoyle? It's George Constanza." -MC

Naz has a bone to pick with the restaurant industry regarding the all-important dip to chip ratio.

Ashley recaps her last minute attendance at Taylor Swift's Eras tour, giving us a very sweet glimpse into a candid moment that really proves why she's so beloved to her fans. Naz fills us in on covering the premieres of The Little Mermaid, Fast X, and Across the Spider-Verse, and tells us all about getting to talk with someone who has played a HUGE role in shaping the childhoods of pretty much every millennial on the planet, the great Alan Menken (if you've ever had a Disney movie song stuck in your head, there's a good chance you've got Mr. Menken to blame).

Sara welcomes Rabbi Yaakov Menken of the Coalition for Jewish Values to discuss everything from the increased violence in the Middle East to Rep. Ilhan Omar being removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Rabbi Menken also says the only the only reason there is Middle East unrest is because Hamas insists on trying to kill Jews. He blasts the media for equating Israeli action against militant groups with Hamas targeting civilians. And Menken gives a brief history of Palestine and how militants hijacked the term in an effort to destroy Israel.Sara also walks us through the Chinese spy balloon saga, what China is trying to accomplish, and why Biden's response was far weaker than it should have been. She also praises the Grand Forks, North Dakota City Council for unanimously rejecting the bid of a Chinese firm to build a plant close to one of the nation's most sensitive Air Force bases.Please visit our great sponsors:Allegiance Goldhttps://protectwithsara.comClick or Call 877-702-7272 tell them Sara sent you and get $5,000 of free silver on a qualifying purchase.
