God is directing his path. It's amazing what the power of the LORD can do for those who choose to walk with Him in spirit and truth. It's never too late to come to God. Michael did a lot of bad things, but his heart was always in the right place, and God has forgiven him for all of it because he turned to God and gave his life to the Lord. We truly serve and amazing merciful, forgiving, and compassionate God ❤ 🙏
Plz stay on the right path. Never hurt innocent people and just live your life making an honest living. Love your family & friends..that's all there is to it. Take care
It's incredible how respectful and honest he is. Straight shooter, no bullshit. Amazing speaker. One of the best if not the best interviewee Piers ever had.
Supposedly there’s paperwork where he was the suspect in 2 deaths- he didn’t pull the trigger himself but he took people on walks they didn’t come back from because they trusted him not to do that
It’s just common knowledge anyone in that life at his position…. Not hard to come up with that answer lol. It’s just something you don’t speak on EVER. And honestly if it was a cop who committed that, would anyone question it? No. I look at it as thank you for taking out the trash that may have harmed an innocent family.
Franzese is a master of word play, says so much while saying nothing, can tell hes legit, he never has given specifics except for what’s public knowledge even on his channel or others, same stories consistently
He says nothing because hes a fugazi who was protected by dad who may not of even been his real dad. And he was a racketeer, not a gangster. 2 very different people in La Cosa Nostra. Money guy, not a tough guy.
He is extremely intelligent for a guy from the mafia not just some street smart guy but very book smart educated ambitious demeanor very intriguing dude
@@DragonZombie2000I wanna see you act like a child who lacks composure when you're 72. You gotta be a true idiot to still act full of anger at that age.
Everybody is overlooking this because we’re not programmed to view other people this way. He murdered before he got made, no getting around it. He murdered in order to become a made man. He ordered murders as a caporeigeme. He was involved in rackets which harmed and profited off of the suffering of innocents. Look at his demeanor and body language. Complete sociopath. His UA-cam is nothing but his next scam. He’s so disillusioned that he’ll forgive his father a man who would murder his own son for the sake of an oath that lets you indulge in crime, murder, and debauchery. He was repeatedly put in harms way due to his father’s influence, the implications that life had on the safety and financial security of his family, him introducing such a life to him, pathetic. I honestly pity Micheal. Behind his cool smooth talking facade is nothing but a hollow husk of a man.
He’s a pos that killed people to enrich himself , got paid off the back of hard working people for so called “protection” .. they make for great movies though
@@hollybanville474We're glorifying knowledge, and knowledge about bad stuff comes from people who lived a bad life. That life was appearently full of people who were ready to sell their souls for nothing, Franzese looks like he kept his honor and only did what he got told
What a handsome, intelligent, well spoken and respectable man he is....Love listening to him. Also....he is an amazing listener. Many people can talk but cant listen. Another sign of great honor. Great interview! Props to both gentlemen. ❤
Michael Franzose has CEO qualities. I’m very impressed with his composure, quiet confidence, focus, ability to listen, the respect he gives people, and his faith.
Well, he was promoted to captain and, uh, “managed” about 300 guys. Just because his business was illegal, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a business. He *was* a CEO of sorts, just a criminal one *shrug*
Michael Franzese was not your typical mobster. He was educated, you heard him say he was pre-med in college. He was in the life because of his father. If not for his father he probably would have been a doctor. We are products of our environment and family.
His life has similarities with Michael Corleone, with how both men weren't supposed to be in the mafia, but got pulled into it because of family circumstances.
@@GeorgiaMartin-ll9qg you’d be surprised, before Michael’s time the criteria was plain loyalty to the family. In the 70-80s, that changed to how much money you were bringing in. Michael says this himself on his channel, he was one of the biggest earners for the columbo crime family.
@@GeorgiaMartin-ll9qg There are smart people and not so smart ones...like every area.But this guys think they are 'non educated'' bandits and you 'should''be a doctor to be considered intelligent......Heheheh quite ironical hes speaking about intelligence when in reality hes very...naive!Michael has to play his game the right way!(Do you think hes always that nice and etc???!!How old are you?Tell me if the sky is blue!)......
Every interview with Michael I have seen & I watch his podcast too..he draws you in and is a super guy too. It is even better when he is allowed to freely talk. Pierce interrupts too much.
Relax bro he's just a good speaker. He's 72 years old and spend decades of his life meeting new people, navigating a mafia life that includes a lot of "sit-downs" and negotiating etc. He's very shrewd and his mind is still ad sharp as he was young if not sharper. But he's never really been that intimidating. He's just very socially adept person and smarter than the average mobster.

Definitely one of the best looking 72 years old I've ever seen. Michael looks 50. This man is so damn calm and well spoken. Such a gentleman regardless of what he did in his past.
You took the words right out if my mind, that's a leader right there, Michael controls you with his calm confidence and knowing what he was capable of kept Piers Morgan respectful than I have ever seen him.
He is a lying Con artist..I know his family very well and his cousin is a good friend of mine..Everything he says is a lie and I remember the trials in Brooklyn where he put his 90 year old father away for life 6 months before he was about to get out as well as many members of his family by wearing a wire for FBI because he got caught using and slinging drugs..He was NOT a boss, he was the black sheep of the family..I’m sick of seeing him in the limelight lying about all of this..SMFH
@@mattsullivan6163 you're so clueless, calling someone a liar while also lying yourself is the most insane thing you can do, the entire case regarding him is publicly documented and free to view anywhere, even other former mob members have verified he didn't put anyone away, keep living in a fairytale.
He did his time and paid his dues that life nearly destroyed his family. He lived it along with many others. He doesn’t have to be put on the spot he’s a different person now doing his best to live right. He stated before he actually wanted to be a doctor but he stepped up out of love for his Dad and probably to help his Mom and his siblings that says a lot. He’s about the coolest, self controlled, articulate, doesn’t let emotions rule him, slow to anger, calm and collected guy I’ve ever seen. I love that guys style. I could totally see him being a surgeon or doctor back in the day. Only Piers Morgan could look at a former Mafia guy and ask, “Did you ever kill anyone?” Mr. Morgan, why? If he did or didn’t you can’t bring them back from the dead. C’mon really?
Seemed pretty open to me. He didn't admit to personally killing anyone. Why would he? Statute of limitations. He can't be charged for ancient crimes other than murder. Guy is an open book. Didn't dance around anything. You expect him to, that's your limitation.. not his.
This dude still has the Mafioso swagger, been out of the life for almost 30 years. This dude embodies was made that whole image so alluring back in those days. Glad he's got it turned around and living straight but damn. So exciting to listen to the details and hearing about it from a retrospective of respect but also regret.

I completely agree with you here. To me, Michael lives that line in the Godfather movie where Brandon's character tells Sonny "Never tell anyone outside of the family what you're thinking, they can and will use it against you" (or something along that line). And actually, I find that to be true too!!
Michael is a class act’ a man who moved on from a life that was hard to avoid ‘ deserves a lot of credit ‘ and a good example for people who are in that lifestyle ‘ that it is possible to move on from it ‘ and have a better life
This is the first interview I have seen in this format on youtube that wasn't about the culture wars and my fucking god, it's refreshing. No arguments, no shouting, no hearing the same opinions repeated ad infinitum, Piers Morgan in his professional mode rather than stuffing a burger in his gob in front of a vegan and a very interesting guest. I don't know what it says about our times that an interview with an ex-gangster is considered a palate cleanser....
Piers still manages to pop some of his favourite subjects in there. Trump, Tate, etc. I'm just surprised Meghan and Hamas never got thrown in there for good measure 😂😂😂
Dont patronize Franzese's youtube channel then. All he talks about now that he's used up all his mob stories is Trump, politics, wokism, blah blah blah
It’s an interview for your entertainment. Probably very little truth, or if it is. It’s all dramatized and glamorized. These guys are not nice people. Neither is Piers. Check out his sordid past as a tabloid editor in the UK, where I was born and lived until I was 28. Piers is not a good guy.
@@NashvilleTuneStream You are exactly right. Do not buy a word this guy says. Read my comment at the very top of the comments where I go into more detail. That is, if it's not removed. He's using God as a cover, and to brag about his despicable, supposedly former life. I have zero to do with Italians, especially those in business. As a former New Jersey gal, we know to stay completely away from them for obvious reasons. They are NEVER reformed, they're just corrupt shape shifters. Good for you for speaking out. This guy is a low life sleaze. Further, a truly godly person would NOT be bragging about their former disgraceful, vicious life. As for Pierce, yeah, exactly right again. Another sleaze.
Its unanimous. Piers is the greatest interrupter in the interview biz. It got to the point where Mr Franzese would give a one sylable answer and then wait to be interrupted. Skills.
that's the best interview I've ever seen with Peirce Morgan. Respectful and honest. Micheal Franseeze is an absolute gem of a guy. No falseness and truly fascinating.
A gem of a guy? He still caused untold amounta of hurt and pain to many people, be it directly or indirectly and grew rich and powerful on top of it. I appreciate his honesty and his more recent decisions, however me and you have a very different opinon on what makes somebody a gem of a person.
@@bigkuriboh3814it’s not about what you have done. It’s about who you choose to spend your life as. He is Christian now, and spends his time teaching young people about his experience with a life of crime and to avoid it, that “crime doesn’t pay”.
@@hoodedhound8643 What do you mean “he’s a Christian now”? Was he an atheist while in the mob? And what does his religious beliefs have to do with what kind of person he is? Not trying to be a dick, just trying to understand what you’re saying.
This guy is the definition of reformed and winning the genetic lottery ... Truly amazing how he possesses so many exceptional traits without seemingly showing any weaknesses. It seems every single personality trait, whether it's narcissistic or anti social, or even a non negative trait he has won the lottery in. On top of that he looks 50 at 72. Is he human at this point?
21:00 PERFECT!!! THANK YOU Michael for straighting this point out. Many people claim to be Catholic/Christian but are far from it. Thank you for being real about this subject!
@@livinginbidenstan3251 Good thing we have you sir, to tell us what the truth is. I'm glad you know everything better and that you were there with Jesus so your conclusion must be the ultimate truth. 😋 But on a more serious note; how did you come to that conclusion? Why do you believe you are right and what is the source of your information? 😁
Hey man God bless ya~ it's funny to think that you think that way kinda curious as to why and where did you get that source of information from? I pray that you find rest and faith in Christ for he loves you unconditionally regardless if you condemn god he still loves you and wants you to grow closer to him. Your heart may not fully comprehend what you understand now perhaps till god speaks to you 😊 have a great one lad@@livinginbidenstan3251
Everyone in the life realises that it's not all glamour. There's times when it's glamorous but more often it's gruesome. The film Doonny Brasco shows this perfectly
Michael Franchese is a guy that you would like no matter what stage he is in his life. That said, I'm happy to see him where he is now living honest, well and on the right side of his spiritual path. Much respect.
@@colinmclaughlin9047 people change and evolve. Is he supposed to ignore his past? He has a plat form now because of how much people are interested in hearing about his past but he can spread what he believes now because of that. I think everyone understands that and are fine with the exchange.
Andrew Tate wouldn’t know charismatic if it shit on his doorstep. Andrew Tate sounds like he has Legos shoved in the back of his cheeks when he’s talking. He reminds me of a guy in middle school with dental headgear.. like Stan’s sister on SouthPark, Shelley. Andrew Tate does NOT come off as “cool” at all. Full stop. He gives off angry nerd vibes who took some steroids and noticed his intruding homosexual thoughts increased .. so he started resisting it harder. Meanwhile it’s obvious spit flies out of his face when he talks. He has an overproduction of saliva and it just all contributes to the nerdy vibe of kid with recently removed headgear. You can hear it in his cadence and how it sounds like something is jammed in his cheeks obstructing clear speech and even a shot at a charming cadence to his voice. Stop lying. 🤥
Nobody operating in a criminal lifestyle should tell their significant other or any one in their life a single thing about what they do because when the cops come if they know nothing they can't say anything. Squares are not built for interrogation, hell most criminals buckle.
In the late ‘60’s, my husband & I were transferred to Central New Jersey, coincidentally amid the mass exodus from Brooklyn. We lived next door to an up-&-coming Mafia couple. The “Godfather” came 1 Sunday. Scary! Man was home 24/7 (as fabric salesman) except on the days when Mafia capos were murdered. I lived there 4.5 years to the day & couldn’t wait to escape. I learned more than I ever wanted to know about the mob.
It was a great pleasure meeting you recently, my friend! Please know that I continue to pray for your safety, health, family and vocation. Praise God for His hand of protection and blessings on your life! Bless your father Sonny too. 🙏
The title alone shows the kind of person Morgan is, when he and Michael had nothing but a serious, intelligent discussion. Nobody grilled anybody!!! Other than Morgan’s cred, as Mike clearly was a class act and always proves to be the bigger man.
I'm pretty sure Piers doesn't sit there in his bedroom uploading content and putting titles on it.....Piers does the interview and that's it...its the editing,promotional team that do all that.....
@@bobhren747 Sometimes life can take you on a road that's only one way, but sometimes if you're lucky, life gives you an exit. Especially if the road is paved with good intentions. You can't judge someone when you haven't been in their shoes, your one sided view blinds you to the truth of life. Have a nice day.
Every now and then I come back to watch this video, it’s inspiring listening to Michael’s story, and as someone who’s been a follower of his for a while it’s great to see him get the coverage he deserves.
Good interview, emotionally inteligent ways of changing subjects, in a way you are telling a story, this is what it's all about, this is not a podcast nor anything else, fast quick but efficient story about a life of a former mobster, this is really good.
Piers loves to belittle anyone he interviews. Especially to do w the murder questions. The mob didn't just kill people for no reason. Anyone who was involved w them business wise knew the consequences therefore it is actually moral game. As fucked as it was it was an honesty system based on respect and a man's word. Sometimes i feel as if the world could learn alot rather than just be a piers and judge those who live in the Grey area.
Everybody is overlooking this because we’re not programmed to view other people this way. He murdered before he got made, no getting around it. He murdered in order to become a made man.

Look at the opening few mins of the interview. Notice that every time Pierce speaks, he’s looking down and can’t really keep his eyes on Michael. Michael looks directly at Pierce when he’s listening and talking. Michael ain’t afraid of much.
Mafia aint what it was. Young Ndranghetas are killing off the old Ndranghetas in Italy. Sammy Gravano turned rat so he never had to do jail time for his crimes, and now brags about it on Utube while under govenment protection.
Ever since I have seen Mr. Franzese he has always acted as a gentleman, informative, educational and entertaining, an inspiration for others in turning his life around in helping others. God bless, care and protect Mr. Franzese and his family always.
I was thinking the same think, I believe that is the closest Michael has ever come to admitting it. He does not have immunity from this crime, that is why he hesitates. Sammy The Bull has immunity so he can speak freely about it.
@@frankthetank8799With no names, no witnesses and zero evidence? Yeah good luck with that conviction , hell it wouldn’t even make it to trial for the those reasons alone. Not to mention what fed prosecutor out there would be jumping at the chance to pursue a 70 year old ex mob guy for a 40 year old mob hit ? I mean unless they just really have it in for him (which they don’t since they already made a deal with him decades ago) I just don’t see it ..
What's so amazing about it? He got out of jail turned his fame and notoriety into cash. Like this guy has had so much luck in his life. He should be in jail for the rest of his life, instead he is a social media star who receives minimal backlash and has a cult following who worships him.
Yeah... In some ways, mafiosos are more serious in their words/lifestyle than most people. Most people can throw away respect and loyalty like nothing. Politicians can lie to your face and get away with it.... If mafiosos lie... They get beaten. Or killed! Much more serious stuff man. There's actually a moral-social thing in here that it's like in REVERSE... Because politicians deal with people's lives. Can't go around lying and cheating people! And yet.... That's what they do. NOBODY holds them accountable in a way.... So that's why I say... Right and wrong, or evil and good, it's NOT an easy thing to distinguish. It's wayyyyyyyy more difficult and deep than just hearing a 1minute story and putting a label on it
What kind of a hell sort of standard is that? 😀 "He is more gentle than a serial killer." I'm just giving you a hard time, but let's be honest. Can you think of a more dishonest person than a politician? A backhanded comment. "He's smarter than thefeebleclone." Seriously, you should be whacked for an insult like that. 🤣
The Earth is Flat and Globalism is Done. Hyperborea may exist at Magnetic North directly under Polaris. We have nothing to lose. Stay Strapped and Pure Blood.
Piers and you are a good few years late to the party. This cooperator has been repeating the same stories for several years now, making a small fortune from doing so 💷 💷. 😜
@@KatharinaK117 I think everyone can redeem themselves, and I think he has. His overall message is always positive. He was basically born into that life, and he got out of it.
This guy's idol was his father who went along with having him killed, and apparently never apologized for it. More fool you for trusting his instincts on peoples character.
As Italian, I have hard time to believe he is actually out of IT and still alive, metaphorically or literally. There is only one option: he is not out of IT. At the end of the day, he is more useful now than before and he is talking about IT without saying anything really. He looks like more a PR or HR for the organization.
Michael' father was Sonny Franzese, high ranking mafia member. I was a security mgr. of a large dept. store on Long Island in the 60's. One Monday morning as we opened the store we found gas torch equipment and a bag of coins. Further investigation revealed that the safes were burned open and all of the jewelry was gone. This burglary ,up to that time, was the largest lost in Suffolk County, Long Island history. When a very good detective friend of mind who investigated this case told me it was S. Franzese I got scared , lol. There's more to this story. Lots of mafia people in NYC and Long Island.
@@alainportant6412 🚩 FORGET "personification" of Jesus. The REAL Jesus does NOT want to BE FOLLOWED . The REAL Jesus did NOT say "fisherman of the MAN", but the REAL Jesus said "Fisherman of the MEAN". In stead of stating something (which makes one to be the SATAN whom is STATING A STATEMENT and in such way creates its own ESTATE the State the Government in order To POSSESS others to become "YOURS Property" ) , one should rather ASK OneSELF and ASK OTHERS if they can help one to find to ANSWER or to help one to correct one´s FALLING INTO Demonic TRICK. We are in the middle of the WAR against HUMANS. Jesus is nothing else but The TRUTH itself being neither of Female gender nor of male gender. That is WHY they SACRIFICED Jesus which most probably could had been a Female, and NO, Jesus did NOT resurrected after such torture and censordShip ,... but they had by claiming "resurrection" committed IDentity THEFT (just as in SONNY´s Franceze´s case = ID theft committed by those criminals around him who BELIEVE and TRUST in a DRUG "LORD" and war "LORD" & such ID theft was done in cooperationg with FBI corrupt agents whom had sex with someone´s else Wife whose husband was locked up & such ID theft it was done by other Corrupt law officials ) . Everyone should SPEAK The TRUTH , and SPEAK it LOUD . (that is WHY the more NEW translated religion such as Islam which is ALSO WRONGLY TRANSLATED as The YEAR but as The WRONG YEAR because it was in REality not so long ago when you Compare the CALENDAR of those different Beliefs but they had TRICKED the People by claiming that it was not recently while they are saying we are now in Year 1400 and something according to Muslim Calendar ... and so... they had figured it out after Christianity Schizm , .... and muslims made a sort of HIGH TOWER building after they no longer were talking from the Top of the Hill ... and where their Imam goes high up in that one sort of a Tower Building and SHOUTS HIS WORDS to be heard FAR AWAY ... but do have in mind that there is a DIFFERENCE in shia Islam which is nothing else but only translated the same thing as Christian Monarchy where the POWER is INHERITED IN ONE SAME FAMILY after some COUSIN STOLE the Truth from Mohammed and some COUSIN from a Parallel bloodLine wrote it down ,,,, and there is a difference to SUNNI ISlam which is sort of Republican POWER where the POWER is NOT inherited in ONE SAME FAMILY but it is supposed to be the People who are having the POWER ). Word "Quran"/ Kuran" = came up because british speaking "someone" TRIED to translate the Truth , with having in mind that QURAN word came from old british word "TO CURE AN/ To CURE 1 " = which means the same thing as maybe Einstein said : " To NOT be STUPID enough to REPEAT the SAME MISTAKES of the PAST = which tells you that RELIGION ITSELF is nothing else but a human controlled RITUAL that is REPEATING the SAME STUPID MISTAKES as a SOFTWARE written in a wrongly Translated Bible from one language to another language depending on who had the power and who wanted the power ! . Spread the WORD ! They CORRUPTED words "The Truth will save Us" = while they are practicing it in a way where they ARE SAVING ONLY THEIR OWN ASS FROM PUNISHMENT .... and they are "SAVING themselves" in a such way that they are PROFITTING on abusing the PROFET and The TRUTH and are abusing the Civilian Population ! The REAL Truth is and should be practiced in a way = "The TRUTH will LIBERATE us/ FREED". Ephesians 6: 12 !
I've always enjoyed listening to Michael speak on mob life or just telling stories. He seems like a genuine guy, honest, and he answers almost anyrhing you ask of him, and makes it all entertaining without glorifying it. Great interview
Being in Australia I don't know much about the Mafia. This man seems very articulate and together with how he talks. A very interesting interview.......
He is very articulate and intelligent. That’s one of the reasons he was one of the biggest earners in mafia history.That gasoline tax scam he orchestrated was insane how much money that he brought in.
He’s 72 years old? 🤯 the guy looks amazing for 72
It's all that Italian red wine!

One thing Piers never fails at is asking the hard questions…Then immediately interrupting the guest and not giving them a chance to get two words in 😂
Love it

Let your guest speak in tried of you cutting the person off so disrespectful you suck piers Morgan learn how to interview your guest
The issue is, that sometimes he allows people tonspeak, but aeems very ... Selective on who he allows to talk a bit more.
yup
One thing I dislike about Piers is how he sometimes asks a question and cuts off the answer mid sentence.
All the time.
that can be a bit cringe yeah, but i think he does it to get to the point and save time, so that he gets the most out of the interview!
Constantly does it especially when he is wrong
That's Pierce for you..."interrupter interviewer"

Did Piers Morgan really expect Michael to admit to calling out murders and hits on people? He was in the mafia for a reason
Cant believe you’re the only comment I’ve seen like this so far. There is no statute of limitation on murder so obviously he wouldn’t admit on live TV
Supposedly there’s paperwork where he was the suspect in 2 deaths- he didn’t pull the trigger himself but he took people on walks they didn’t come back from because they trusted him not to do that
Exactly, cops will be waiting outside if he did that. many judges will issue warrant
Right 😂😂😂. He tried though.
It’s just common knowledge anyone in that life at his position…. Not hard to come up with that answer lol. It’s just something you don’t speak on EVER. And honestly if it was a cop who committed that, would anyone question it? No. I look at it as thank you for taking out the trash that may have harmed an innocent family.
Franzese is a master of word play, says so much while saying nothing, can tell hes legit, he never has given specifics except for what’s public knowledge even on his channel or others, same stories consistently

He says nothing because hes a fugazi who was protected by dad who may not of even been his real dad. And he was a racketeer, not a gangster. 2 very different people in La Cosa Nostra. Money guy, not a tough guy.
hands down best interview Piers has ever done, so legitimate, so humbling and without malice.
He is extremely intelligent for a guy from the mafia not just some street smart guy but very book smart educated ambitious demeanor very intriguing dude

I love the Sinatra question about favors. “Not that I know of.” He knows. But he’s taking it to the grave.
I love that about him…very very very respectful
He's said many times, on other interviews, that he has not immunity deal so he can't say certain things as he risks investigation again
He ratted out made men mike franzese is a rat
I've watch countless interviews with Mr. Franzese. I can't get enough. One of the most fascinating people I've ever heard.
I agree
Everybody is overlooking this because we’re not programmed to view other people this way. He murdered before he got made, no getting around it. He murdered in order to become a made man. He ordered murders as a caporeigeme. He was involved in rackets which harmed and profited off of the suffering of innocents. Look at his demeanor and body language. Complete sociopath. His UA-cam is nothing but his next scam. He’s so disillusioned that he’ll forgive his father a man who would murder his own son for the sake of an oath that lets you indulge in crime, murder, and debauchery. He was repeatedly put in harms way due to his father’s influence, the implications that life had on the safety and financial security of his family, him introducing such a life to him, pathetic. I honestly pity Micheal. Behind his cool smooth talking facade is nothing but a hollow husk of a man.
He’s a pos that killed people to enrich himself , got paid off the back of hard working people for so called “protection” .. they make for great movies though
We are glorifying @$$@$in$ now 😂
@@hollybanville474We're glorifying knowledge, and knowledge about bad stuff comes from people who lived a bad life. That life was appearently full of people who were ready to sell their souls for nothing, Franzese looks like he kept his honor and only did what he got told

Indeed, very respectable...🙄
And an elegant Italian suit!
He is 72 years old. I hope he comes across like this. We don't know who he really is.
Michael Franzose has CEO qualities. I’m very impressed with his composure, quiet confidence, focus, ability to listen, the respect he gives people, and his faith.
= Mafia trained
He's also a thief, a killer and a rat. Maybe he can run the Trump Organization for the last few days that it exists.
Well, he was promoted to captain and, uh, “managed” about 300 guys. Just because his business was illegal, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a business. He *was* a CEO of sorts, just a criminal one *shrug*

Michael Franzese was not your typical mobster. He was educated, you heard him say he was pre-med in college. He was in the life because of his father. If not for his father he probably would have been a doctor. We are products of our environment and family.
That was a very intelligent expression thank you
Wouldn’t even get made, let alone become important in that world if you’re not intelligent
His life has similarities with Michael Corleone, with how both men weren't supposed to be in the mafia, but got pulled into it because of family circumstances.

Relax bro he's just a good speaker.

But he's never really been that intimidating. He's just very socially adept person and smarter than the average mobster.

He did his time and paid his dues that life nearly destroyed his family. He lived it along with many others.

He’s about the coolest, self controlled, articulate, doesn’t let emotions rule him, slow to anger, calm and collected guy I’ve ever seen. I love that guys style. I could totally see him being a surgeon or doctor back in the day. Only Piers Morgan could look at a former Mafia guy and ask, “Did you ever kill anyone?” Mr. Morgan, why? If he did or didn’t you can’t bring them back from the dead. C’mon really?
I hope you’ve said that on EVERY interview that piers has done??
Seemed pretty open to me. He didn't admit to personally killing anyone. Why would he? Statute of limitations. He can't be charged for ancient crimes other than murder. Guy is an open book. Didn't dance around anything. You expect him to, that's your limitation.. not his.
This dude still has the Mafioso swagger, been out of the life for almost 30 years. This dude embodies was made that whole image so alluring back in those days.

I completely agree with you here. To me, Michael lives that line in the Godfather movie where Brandon's character tells Sonny "Never tell anyone outside of the family what you're thinking, they can and will use it against you" (or something along that line). And actually, I find that to be true too!!
Best Piers Morgan interview to date. He asked Franzese every question I have always wanted to know. Outstanding!
Michael is a class act’ a man who moved on from a life that was hard to avoid ‘ deserves a lot of credit ‘ and a good example for people who are in that lifestyle ‘ that it is possible to move on from it ‘ and have a better life
This is the first interview I have seen in this format on youtube that wasn't about the culture wars and my fucking god, it's refreshing. No arguments, no shouting, no hearing the same opinions repeated ad infinitum, Piers Morgan in his professional mode rather than stuffing a burger in his gob in front of a vegan and a very interesting guest. I don't know what it says about our times that an interview with an ex-gangster is considered a palate cleanser....
stop glorifying stupid criminals , it’s fucking disgusting for people who attained wisdom
Agree mate. You should check out Ladbible. Many of these
Piers still manages to pop some of his favourite subjects in there. Trump, Tate, etc. I'm just surprised Meghan and Hamas never got thrown in there for good measure 😂😂😂

As for Pierce, yeah, exactly right again. Another sleaze.
and very smooth, charming, glamorous, lying.
2 of the best interviewers and interviewees in the world. Piers is strong and fair and Michael is calm, cool, and collected in all his responses.
Its unanimous. Piers is the greatest interrupter in the interview biz. It got to the point where Mr Franzese would give a one sylable answer and then wait to be interrupted. Skills.

that's the best interview I've ever seen with Peirce Morgan. Respectful and honest. Micheal Franseeze is an absolute gem of a guy. No falseness and truly fascinating.
A gem of a guy? He still caused untold amounta of hurt and pain to many people, be it directly or indirectly and grew rich and powerful on top of it. I appreciate his honesty and his more recent decisions, however me and you have a very different opinon on what makes somebody a gem of a person.

There are so many videos with Michael. This is the only one you really need to watch. Piers just pulled all answers out of him that you are wanting.
For my surprise Piers was able to make Franzese tell much more than in other interviews.
Everyone in the life realises that it's not all glamour. There's times when it's glamorous but more often it's gruesome. The film Doonny Brasco shows this perfectly
It also rots the should .

Andrew Tate wouldn’t know charismatic if it shit on his doorstep. Andrew Tate sounds like he has Legos shoved in the back of his cheeks when he’s talking. He reminds me of a guy in middle school with dental headgear.. like Stan’s sister on SouthPark, Shelley. Andrew Tate does NOT come off as “cool” at all. Full stop. He gives off angry nerd vibes who took some steroids and noticed his intruding homosexual thoughts increased .. so he started resisting it harder. Meanwhile it’s obvious spit flies out of his face when he talks. He has an overproduction of saliva and it just all contributes to the nerdy vibe of kid with recently removed headgear. You can hear it in his cadence and how it sounds like something is jammed in his cheeks obstructing clear speech and even a shot at a charming cadence to his voice. Stop lying. 🤥
I met Mike at an event in Chs SC. Humble guy who took time to talk to everyone that wanted to talk or get a book signed.
This lad is more honest than any politician on planet earth
His wife never asked him did he kill anyone because he showed her The Godfather where Michael says "dont ask me about my business Kay" 😂
Nobody operating in a criminal lifestyle should tell their significant other or any one in their life a single thing about what they do because when the cops come if they know nothing they can't say anything.

In the late ‘60’s, my husband & I were transferred to Central New Jersey, coincidentally amid the mass exodus from Brooklyn. We lived next door to an up-&-coming Mafia couple. The “Godfather” came 1 Sunday. Scary! Man was home 24/7 (as fabric salesman) except on the days when Mafia capos were murdered. I lived there 4.5 years to the day & couldn’t wait to escape. I learned more than I ever wanted to know about the mob.
It was a great pleasure meeting you recently, my friend! Please know that I continue to pray for your safety, health, family and vocation. Praise God for His hand of protection and blessings on your life! Bless your father Sonny too. 🙏

Piers loves to belittle anyone he interviews. Especially to do w the murder questions. The mob didn't just kill people for no reason. Anyone who was involved w them business wise knew the consequences therefore it is actually moral game. As fucked as it was it was an honesty system based on respect and a man's word. Sometimes i feel as if the world could learn alot rather than just be a piers and judge those who live in the Grey area.
Everybody is overlooking this because we’re not programmed to view other people this way. He murdered before he got made, no getting around it. He murdered in order to become a made man. He ordered murders as a caporeigeme. He was involved in rackets which harmed and profited off of the suffering of innocents. Look at his demeanor and body language. Complete sociopath. His UA-cam is nothing but his next scam. He’s so disillusioned that he’ll forgive his father a man who would murder his own son for the sake of an oath that lets you indulge in crime, murder, and debauchery. He was repeatedly put in harms way due to his father’s influence, the implications that life had on the safety and financial security of his family, him introducing such a life to him, pathetic. I honestly pity Micheal. Behind his cool smooth talking facade is nothing but a hollow husk of a man.

Look at the opening few mins of the interview. Notice that every time Pierce speaks, he’s looking down and can’t really keep his eyes on Michael. Michael looks directly at Pierce when he’s listening and talking. Michael ain’t afraid of much.
Piers
Could listen to Michael all day. His own you tube channel is brilliant
Micheal lies almost about everything
@amsterdam_Ave does he? Like what?
@@amsterdam_Avenot true
Agreed
My biggest discovery of 2023
He repeats the same stories over and over agian.
The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club.
Mafia aint what it was. Young Ndranghetas are killing off the old Ndranghetas in Italy. Sammy Gravano turned rat so he never had to do jail time for his crimes, and now brags about it on Utube while under govenment protection.
Ever since I have seen Mr. Franzese he has always acted as a gentleman, informative, educational and entertaining, an inspiration for others in turning his life around in helping others. God bless, care and protect Mr. Franzese and his family always.
Bloody Mafia not Mary Poppins
He's usually so careful answering questions. I'm really surprised how he addressed the murder subject.
"Did you kill anyone?" .....--> "ppl died" xD
Michael is extremely intelligent! Watch his channel!
He spoke perfectly. Didnt slip up at all
I was thinking the same think, I believe that is the closest Michael has ever come to admitting it. He does not have immunity from this crime, that is why he hesitates. Sammy The Bull has immunity so he can speak freely about it.
@@frankthetank8799With no names, no witnesses and zero evidence? Yeah good luck with that conviction , hell it wouldn’t even make it to trial for the those reasons alone. Not to mention what fed prosecutor out there would be jumping at the chance to pursue a 70 year old ex mob guy for a 40 year old mob hit ? I mean unless they just really have it in for him (which they don’t since they already made a deal with him decades ago) I just don’t see it ..
Very much enjoyed this interview. Amazing how Michael Franzese turned his life around.
Jesus did it for him.
@@stuartmenziesfarrantno, Jesus didn’t do anything for him. Michael did it, Jesus inspired him. There’s a massive difference.
@@stuartmenziesfarranthe sure did
What's so amazing about it? He got out of jail turned his fame and notoriety into cash. Like this guy has had so much luck in his life. He should be in jail for the rest of his life, instead he is a social media star who receives minimal backlash and has a cult following who worships him.
He didnt turn his life around he got caught.
He looks amazing at 72 years young.I have alot of respect for this gentleman.👍
He gives more straight answers than a politician.
Even in dodging the question, it was more straight
Weak.
Yeah... In some ways, mafiosos are more serious in their words/lifestyle than most people. Most people can throw away respect and loyalty like nothing. Politicians can lie to your face and get away with it.... If mafiosos lie... They get beaten. Or killed! Much more serious stuff man. There's actually a moral-social thing in here that it's like in REVERSE... Because politicians deal with people's lives. Can't go around lying and cheating people! And yet.... That's what they do. NOBODY holds them accountable in a way.... So that's why I say... Right and wrong, or evil and good, it's NOT an easy thing to distinguish. It's wayyyyyyyy more difficult and deep than just hearing a 1minute story and putting a label on it
What kind of a hell sort of standard is that? 😀 "He is more gentle than a serial killer." I'm just giving you a hard time, but let's be honest. Can you think of a more dishonest person than a politician? A backhanded comment. "He's smarter than thefeebleclone." Seriously, you should be whacked for an insult like that. 🤣
Threats will get you everywhere. [sometimes]

He speaks so well and is so incredibly interesting! Get him on again Piers!
This was a fascinating interview, Piers. Thank you!
lol, Piers loves that word. He used it about 3 times at the end of the interview.
The Earth is Flat and Globalism is Done. Hyperborea may exist at Magnetic North directly under Polaris. We have nothing to lose. Stay Strapped and Pure Blood.
Piers and you are a good few years late to the party.
This cooperator has been repeating the same stories for several years now, making a small fortune from doing so 💷 💷. 😜
@@MMTx1979 fgs keep up!
Fascinating interview💯💯
I love listening to Michael Frazese, he has a great channel on YT as well. 👍
I follow his channel to…..it truly is a great Channel
He's such a great saint wonderful man 😂 killed innocent people for hustle and now he's hustling you idiots for views
This man is no hero! But old school maf respect. He sure dsnt tell it all lmao!
@@KatharinaK117no shit dopey 😂
@@KatharinaK117 I think everyone can redeem themselves, and I think he has. His overall message is always positive. He was basically born into that life, and he got out of it.
The Charm of this guy is intoxicating !!!
Okay man, keep it in your pants.
This guy's idol was his father who went along with having him killed, and apparently never apologized for it. More fool you for trusting his instincts on peoples character.
Snakes are Fascinating !
You know that is a narcissistic trait.
Bro he's 72 👁👄👁 Lord please bless me like that 😂
As Italian, I have hard time to believe he is actually out of IT and still alive, metaphorically or literally. There is only one option: he is not out of IT. At the end of the day, he is more useful now than before and he is talking about IT without saying anything really. He looks like more a PR or HR for the organization.
Are you crazy He is a rat Is just I conman these days
Michael is always a great interview. Glad he was blessed to turn his life around and can share a positive message.
Michael' father was Sonny Franzese, high ranking mafia member. I was a security mgr. of a large dept. store on Long Island in the 60's. One Monday morning as we opened the store we found gas torch equipment and a bag of coins. Further investigation revealed that the safes were burned open and all of the jewelry was gone. This burglary ,up to that time, was the largest lost in Suffolk County, Long Island history. When a very good detective friend of mind who investigated this case told me it was S. Franzese I got scared , lol. There's more to this story. Lots of mafia people in NYC and Long Island.
makes you wonder where all that money went... sonny ended up at the poor house far from his family
He spent a lot of time in prison but not for the crime I described.@@alainportant6412

FORGET "personification" of Jesus. The REAL Jesus does NOT want to BE FOLLOWED . The REAL Jesus did NOT say "fisherman of the MAN", but the REAL Jesus said "Fisherman of the MEAN". In stead of stating something (which makes one to be the SATAN whom is STATING A STATEMENT and in such way creates its own ESTATE the State the Government in order To POSSESS others to become "YOURS Property" ) , one should rather ASK OneSELF and ASK OTHERS if they can help one to find to ANSWER or to help one to correct one´s FALLING INTO Demonic TRICK. We are in the middle of the WAR against HUMANS. Jesus is nothing else but The TRUTH itself being neither of Female gender nor of male gender. That is WHY they SACRIFICED Jesus which most probably could had been a Female, and NO, Jesus did NOT resurrected after such torture and censordShip ,... but they had by claiming "resurrection" committed IDentity THEFT (just as in SONNY´s Franceze´s case = ID theft committed by those criminals around him who BELIEVE and TRUST in a DRUG "LORD" and war "LORD" & such ID theft was done in cooperationg with FBI corrupt agents whom had sex with someone´s else Wife whose husband was locked up & such ID theft it was done by other Corrupt law officials ) . Everyone should SPEAK The TRUTH , and SPEAK it LOUD . (that is WHY the more NEW translated religion such as Islam which is ALSO WRONGLY TRANSLATED as The YEAR but as The WRONG YEAR because it was in REality not so long ago when you Compare the CALENDAR of those different Beliefs but they had TRICKED the People by claiming that it was not recently while they are saying we are now in Year 1400 and something according to Muslim Calendar ... and so... they had figured it out after Christianity Schizm , .... and muslims made a sort of HIGH TOWER building after they no longer were talking from the Top of the Hill ... and where their Imam goes high up in that one sort of a Tower Building and SHOUTS HIS WORDS to be heard FAR AWAY ... but do have in mind that there is a DIFFERENCE in shia Islam which is nothing else but only translated the same thing as Christian Monarchy where the POWER is INHERITED IN ONE SAME FAMILY after some COUSIN STOLE the Truth from Mohammed and some COUSIN from a Parallel bloodLine wrote it down ,,,, and there is a difference to SUNNI ISlam which is sort of Republican POWER where the POWER is NOT inherited in ONE SAME FAMILY but it is supposed to be the People who are having the POWER ). Word "Quran"/ Kuran" = came up because british speaking "someone" TRIED to translate the Truth , with having in mind that QURAN word came from old british word "TO CURE AN/ To CURE 1 " = which means the same thing as maybe Einstein said : " To NOT be STUPID enough to REPEAT the SAME MISTAKES of the PAST = which tells you that RELIGION ITSELF is nothing else but a human controlled RITUAL that is REPEATING the SAME STUPID MISTAKES as a SOFTWARE written in a wrongly Translated Bible from one language to another language depending on who had the power and who wanted the power ! . Spread the WORD !
They CORRUPTED words "The Truth will save Us" = while they are practicing it in a way where they ARE SAVING ONLY THEIR OWN ASS FROM PUNISHMENT .... and they are "SAVING themselves" in a such way that they are PROFITTING on abusing the PROFET and The TRUTH and are abusing the Civilian Population !
The REAL Truth is and should be practiced in a way = "The TRUTH will LIBERATE us/ FREED".
Ephesians 6: 12 !
Long Island was my home for any years I finally had enough and moved it was once beautiful once
@oldtimedrumcorps My mom grew up on Long Island as well. When you said you had enough, what do you mean by that?
I've always enjoyed listening to Michael speak on mob life or just telling stories. He seems like a genuine guy, honest, and he answers almost anyrhing you ask of him, and makes it all entertaining without glorifying it. Great interview
Michael Franzese has a great UA-cam channel, just FYI
Thats was an amazing interview! Thank you Piers and Michael! Best i've seen for years!
Worst interview ever. I felt like i was watching an interrogation done by a complete wannabe clown.
Piers for a moment thought he’s a FBI Agent😅Awesome interview much Respect to Mr.Franzese for turning his life around.
So well spoken , never crossed the line , solid bloke
He's a missive rat what you mean
Being in Australia I don't know much about the Mafia. This man seems very articulate and together with how he talks. A very interesting interview.......
He is very articulate and intelligent. That’s one of the reasons he was one of the biggest earners in mafia history.That gasoline tax scam he orchestrated was insane how much money that he brought in.
