Apparently it's part of why things were so expensive in NYC, they effectively charged a tax on everything from fish to window cleaners and that cost passed down to the end customer
Which shows that all the Russia stuff was bullshit. If they wanted to destroy Trump they would have gone after mob ties, but they couldn’t because they know everyone in politics would look dirty.
You have to be, probably one of the best examples of a male New Yorker, that has caught and kept my attention for more than a minute. Why aren't more N.Y. men like you-??? Very well spoken, concise, not loud or overbearing, humble yet a man's man. I'm a southern woman and very few Yanks ever catch my attention. Liked your honesty. It's a a rarity in the times we are now walking in-especially from a New Yorker. Cudos to you-🎯💯☘️👍
I had to deal with the mob just from owning a bar in NYC, sanitation, laundry services, etc., and growing up in Brooklyn I already knew the score when I decided to open my own place. To be honest, I had easier times dealing with the mob than with the state and city government.
I would trust the Mafia more than the deep state and the corrupt politicians. At least with the mob the rules are simple and you have more freedom. Good luck with Biden and the puppet masters he is beholden to.
I used to be involved with a guy whose dream was to open a club. He seemed ignorant of the fact that if he did, he'd have to deal with the Mob (I don't think he believed me).
The question I've asked for years and haven't heard answered is given the mobs involvement with unions in NY during the 80s-90s, how did Trump get away with stiffing contractors?

So your not worried about lies or the truth? says a lot by your comment.
My grandfather was a very wealthy, and the more I learn, the more I realize just how connected he was, once told me, "No one I don't care who they are, no one becomes a billionaire without doing a shaddy deal or two."
@michaelf- reading your book mafia democracy- it’s really good- thanks for coming over to our side- the people of this nation need people like you - you have been to the depth of darkness and returned with redemption- your books should be taught as a must read and debated in high schools ! It’s time they learn the real truth !
I have such a deep respect for Mr. Franzese's direct, no nonsense style of communicating. I can definitely see him being able to negotiate anything from million dollar deals to donuts. Speaking with charisma and listening intently are skills that are always under valued but are so critical!
Kevin Kohlman i agree 100%. disregard what DJ said. When Jesus was on the cross a thief next to him asked for forgiveness and Jesus said, " you will sit on my right side with my father in Heaven. I paraphrase.
Whenever I hear people like him, and he isn't the only former MOB guy I am referring to, I wonder why the hell they got involved in the MOB in the first place. Mr. Franzese, like so many, is highly intelligent, street smart and hard working. If they wanted to start out straight, they could have done so much.
@@djrychlak4443 And you sound like a DemocRat. Mr. Franzese paid for his crimes and went straight. Donald Trump is the best president we ever had. Don't ask me to go through the litany of Trump's accomplishments, it would bury ANY argument. You are concerned with Mr Franzese's past? How about that demented criminal and traitor we have in the Oval Office? He made money from using his political connections and his addict son making deals with the Chinese Communists that compromised our national interests and padded his pockets. HE CONTINUES TO DO SO. The "big guy" used his connections to get an honest Ukrainian prosecutor fired for investigating Bourisma. He ADMITTED IT AND ITS ON TAPE. He did this because his son was put on the Board of Directors of Bourisma with absolutely no qualifications aside from the fact that his Daddy was VP of the US. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY CRIMES THE :BIG GUY " COMMITTED - BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED. COME BACK WITH MORE OF THAT BULL ABOUT TRUMP AND MR. FRANZESE AND WE CAN DISCUSS WHAT THAT REAL CRIMINAL - JOE BIDEN - HAS DONE SINCE HE WAS ELECTED.
My ex father in law owned a trucking company in northern New Jersey. He told me it was impossible to do so without some interaction with the Mafia in that area. Before that, he owned a waste disposal company, where some Mafia guys came in, and basically became his partners by just telling him that they were his partners now.
Thanks for the first hand eye witness confirmation testimony. I’m just a country plow boy and even I know that you couldn’t buy a loaf of bread or get an apartment without the mob getting their cut.

A criminal lawyer turned lawyer criminal. They really are the best,they don´t only know how to navigate and bend the rules better,you have their empathy,even if its in moderation.
Someone like Kevin Lomax in The Devil's Advocate. One of his more infamous moments in the film is when Lomax trashed and humiliated a rape victim on the stand and destroyed her credibility via a intense and harsh cross-examination.
He kind of reminds me of a mafia version of Tony Roberts. Pretending to be something he isnt while roping in all these suckers to book him to speaking engagements because nobody knows how to spin BS better than a former Mobster.
I just want to say, the fact that Michael Franzese can be friends with Rudy Giuliani after Rudy tried to indict him (I can’t remember if he was the one who eventually locked him up) shows true character. They had an understanding of roles.
Real deal gangsters understand it’s the police job to catch them and it’s the criminals job to not get caught up. You always show upmost respect as long as it’s given

Interesting point...I think it refers to the mob in the sense that there is the legislature (lawmakers) and the there is the mob (the people). The mob is the organized faction of the people.
Unsuccessful people who were not man enough to take criticism. Strongest men never held the top position in their industry (lol I called it an industry). It was the most cunning and ruthless that got up there.

There was a movie I saw years ago but cannot remember the name etc. All I remember is that the head of the mob was o. Trial and was asked if he is the leader of this organized crime ring. He said it was more disorganized. My dad laughed so hard.
I think it’s great how u do keep politics out of it and were able to talk about this without showing biased! So many ppl get too into politics and it’s nice to see someone that puts that aside out of respect for everyone!
@@funni150 obviously it was still only a decade to 15 years ago, it was still prevalent and still is actually trust me. I’m from Buffalo NY on the border and it’s still here and in Canada they are having mafia hits and leaders still getting shot and killed on the street. The national media just doesn’t pick it up.
Like Wise, when I was young riding on the Back of a Sanitation truck in the Bronx it was well known who we worked for... And all we did was pick up trash. But one day we were told to stop..out of the blue for no reason just stop moving the trucks ... We stop for about 4hrs with no explanation.
This guy doesn't discuss the much darker side of his life and what he really knows and saw. It's not good for business. Go to Sammy's channel and you hear what really went down when people got in their way. His father goes way back as well.
@@northernking6610 It is to a point. Not as much as it was in the 1980’s (I’m a union NYC concrete worker and have been since 1982) So it’s not like I’m not naive to NYC construction and the mob influence in it.
Michael, Hands-down, you are the best storyteller in my lifetime. Thank you for sharing your stories. I am learning a lot from your personality, professionalism and demeanor.
It wasn't hidden at all. Years before he was president he spoke of not being able to build a dog house on the east coast without dealing with somebody. They all know it and, for the most part, really can't stop it completely.
Hey Michael, I am from Pakistan been jailed many times and I have also walked off that mob life by just listening to you. I am also now a practicing Muslim by just seeing you that how faith helped you. Specially that video where you told how to stay safe not going to night clubs following the same routine etc I am also following that pattern. Thank you for changing my life and bringing me to the right path. May u live a long and healthy life. And prayers for your daughter's speedy recovery
@@tylercrone7194 I've never heard Trump speak to organized crime, but I'd guess he felt illegal immigrants were a bigger issue. Wasn't he going to wall them out or something? Wasn't that a news item somewhere along the line? You're making me suspect that was fake news now.
I stumbled across Michael franzese in his podcast about a year or so ago very entertaining and informative seems to be a down-to-earth man I appreciate the common sense attitude that he has overall enjoy everything he puts out
@@masterofpuppets7295 I hear you, but I doubt he will cause as much damage as trump. Fact is we need to scrap all these career politicians. And get some younger people in there why do we have to have choice between two 80 year old presidents there was no mid 40 yr olds qualified for office?
I become addicted to Mister Franzese stories. What a rich experience. Mister Franzese is a gold opportunity for young kids to learn how to handle themselves through life.
I’m guessing they Trump knew how to get things done in New York. If you want to build, you have to deal with the unions! What’s the problem? He’s not the only millionaire or billionaire in New York to have to deal with them.
@@jsmith7888 if its the video I’m thinking off, sammy didn’t say anything really about trump, he used him speaking hypothetically but if you were in the building business in New York in the 80s you had no choice BUT to be involved with the mob!
I’d imagine he would just give you the same brief history of cocaine in Miami in the 80’s that you already know and that’s already out there because he wasn’t involved in that business
I just discovered your channel. My wife's grandmother was a bookie. I'm not sure which family she was involved with however I've always been fascinated with the mob and I enjoy your videos a lot thank you for educating us.
Wow, that word BOOKIE resonates big time. Growing up in an impoverished neighborhood I can remember the bookie (Big Ben) driving up in a cadillac. Ben came to the hood every day collecting money. Ben, was about 6'3" about 250 lbs. "Trust me no one played him!!!." Poor people playing numbers believing they were gonna hit big; never did!
I use to be a shipping clerk at a factory in Oklahoma. Even we had to deal with the mafia. When a shipment had to go to NYC, we had to send it to a terminal in New Jersey. Then the NJ terminal contacted the correct union to haul the item into NYC.
@@robertthomas2601 the mob had a monopoly on concrete at that time so he dealt with certain ones who got the job done. If you wanted projects done you went through the mob. Mafia would know every truck coming into the city. So imagine you hire a company to do your house you may find out that they're involved in criminal activity or perhaps you turn a blind eye to it. Does it make you complicit?
@@liamwatson6789 That's not what we're talking about. You're describing extortion. Having to pay a tax to do business. What Trump is accused of his making a quid pro quo deal with the mob to use materials from their companies in exchange for non-union labor. If Trump did this, he is a criminal. Full stop. These kinds of deals were only available for select people with mob connections, and the allegation is that Roy Cohn brokered the meeting.
@@robertthomas2601 well to what Michael says. Its not true. The mob ran everything construction but in the 80s. You got nothing done without going through the mob period. All big developers had to deal with the mob to get work done. Not just trump. Just people reaching for another reason to demonize trump is all
I looked up the name, David Bogatin and I've come up with an old article where it says that he (Bogatin), bought 5 condo units in Trump Tower back in 1984. Like, jeez, Michael really is credible as fuuuuuck. And oh, he is a gasoline bootlegger lmao I'm so dead
@@tellofiriometto5810 trump was successful at making people think he was infinitely more successful than he actually was. Glorious con, but still a con. Lol
Sound like Donald was trying to be smart. He respected the mob enough to make a "clean" deal without worrying them coming after him. He knew how the city was ran. Glad you didn't give a straight yes or no answer.
@@toutainafe1153 It was only a question, snowflake. I’m a criminal attorney so I very much doubt that, buddy, keep studying though because you might be able to form a real sentence soon😹👍🏽
Trumps handling of Covid was borderline criminal and just because he put a spotlight on the swamp doesn't mean he did a thing about it..he just reintroduced Stone and other co-founders back to what they created, he used generalisations that were deplorable against certain ethnic groups, and lied non stop, jumped into bed with dictators who were anti democratic and lined his and friends pockets ..he was just as deplorable as the so called left ..but I have no issue with mob dealings in NYC at that time
I used to work at an adult bookstore owned by the mob. I never saw anything, I never heard anything, I never met anyone. The worst part of the job was cleaning the tv screens in the back room. I personally think they're people trying to make a living like the rest of us. Respect others and they will respect you. Never a bad experience.
I’ve gotta say, I could listen to Mr. Franszese stories of the past time that literally built America 24/7. His honesty but discreteness on certain topics makes it that much more interesting on his time in the mob.
*The engaging way that Michael Franzese tells a story/rundown with the right amount of detail & grace, he should literally voice characters in Grand Theft Auto & other Rockstar Games*
Michael & Sammy the Bull pretty much said the same. Trump had to deal with the mob in NYC because that’s the way things were back then in NYC real estate. But Trump wasn’t an “associate” of the mob.
@jayson r "yeah, I'll keep your warehouse free of rats, but I expect a case of tuna every week. In advance. Be a shame if someone left a door open and a bunch of strange cats ate all your stock."
I liked what I heard when someone said he’s like the Mafia. The reply was no Italian would have well done steak with tomato ketchup and wear such badly fitting suits.. Your one of life’s gems. I’ve watched your sit down with Mike Tyson a few times. Two excellent gentleman, role models.
Christopher, no one has to make a guy, that proudly states that he sexually assaults women, regularly, look bad, I believe that he has already done that himself and the saddest thing of all, imagine, what type of slug, I would have to be, to EVER, look UP to such a worm.

That Joe Pistone interview is going to be the best thing to hit the internet. 2 different perspectives, about the same life. That is going to be amazing!
You hit the nail on the head. I was friends with an enforcer for a Drug Gang in my city and he actually was a cool guy, funny as hell. But he'd tell you himself "I'll sit around drinking with you joking with you, but if you owe my man's money then I gotta hurt you".
@@Lion-dr7uv Honestly the Mob kept this country safe. Imo had the Mob hadn't been broken up, The Twin Towers on 911 wouldn't have happened, they had ears all over the World.
He didn’t deny anything. He just asserted a negative. It’s so easy to spin language if you’re experienced doing so. Trump was a developer. Unions were run by mob. Think about it. There are plenty of things over the course of my life that I didn’t have “direct knowledge of” either. And there are plenty of things that have been said in front of me that I never heard as well… Dealing with and being made are two different things. Watch the video again.
I never understood why people have asked this question. He was a builder in NY. The mob ran all the unions in NY
That’s a no brainer
As a concrete company employee in NY whose been approached by the mob, that doesn’t mean anything.
Right lol
Lmao... so he knows or not. Who cares...
Samething I've been saying
The more I learn about the Mob, the more I want to ask, who wasn't involved with the Mafia in some way.?
At one point they controlled everything to the point, you had to be involved. If you weren’t and were powerful enough, they would come to you.

Interesting point...I think it refers to the mob in the sense that there is the legislature (lawmakers) and the there is the mob (the people). The mob is the organized faction of the people.
Unsuccessful people who were not man enough to take criticism. Strongest men never held the top position in their industry (lol I called it an industry). It was the most cunning and ruthless that got up there.

Agreed. Sammy Gravano agrees with this

Thank you for sharing Michael! I’m so glad you’ve cleared up so many misconceptions. You’re admired for your honesty and humbleness. Blessed Be!

You're right best storyteller around
Professionalism. Professional gangster, that's swell!

It wasn't hidden at all. Years before he was president he spoke of not being able to build a dog house on the east coast without dealing with somebody. They all know it and, for the most part, really can't stop it completely.

It would be cool to hear him talking about Pablo Escobar and how the cocaine trade affected the mob back in the 80s
The mob mainly dealt herion but im sure more then a few used cocaine
I’d imagine he would just give you the same brief history of cocaine in Miami in the 80’s that you already know and that’s already out there because he wasn’t involved in that business

Was he extorted or was he making deals with the mob with clear intent? If the latter is true he is a criminal. No way around it.
@@robertthomas2601 the mob had a monopoly on concrete at that time so he dealt with certain ones who got the job done. If you wanted projects done you went through the mob. Mafia would know every truck coming into the city. So imagine you hire a company to do your house you may find out that they're involved in criminal activity or perhaps you turn a blind eye to it. Does it make you complicit?
@@liamwatson6789 That's not what we're talking about. You're describing extortion. Having to pay a tax to do business. What Trump is accused of his making a quid pro quo deal with the mob to use materials from their companies in exchange for non-union labor. If Trump did this, he is a criminal. Full stop. These kinds of deals were only available for select people with mob connections, and the allegation is that Roy Cohn brokered the meeting.
@@robertthomas2601 well to what Michael says. Its not true. The mob ran everything construction but in the 80s. You got nothing done without going through the mob period.

Trumps handling of Covid was borderline criminal and just because he put a spotlight on the swamp doesn't mean he did a thing about it..he just reintroduced Stone and other co-founders back to what they created, he used generalisations that were deplorable against certain ethnic groups, and lied non stop, jumped into bed with dictators who were anti democratic and lined his and friends pockets ..he was just as deplorable as the so called left ..but I have no issue with mob dealings in NYC at that time
