Met this man in person and even though there were 100 people in line he looked me in the eyes the entire time and had a sincere interest in my life and questions. He answered a big question I have about faith and guilt and i'll just leave that there. This content is fantastic and the fact we get this for free is amazing. Keep spreading your knowledge and faith Michael; it is helping many of us and has a tremendous ripple effect. God bless and good health brother!
I'm glad to hear it, brother.
That’s great to hear. I don’t really follow the same beliefs or politics that Michael Franzese follows, but the guy comes across as genuine, and has clearly perfected how to act with people. His experiences in life have taught him how important it is to talk to everyone with respect, no matter who they are or what their place in society is
That’s what happens when two good men cross paths
And you came in your pants! I mean he looked at you! That is soooo wild! A human looked at another human while speaking!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!! Don't ever wash your face or eyeballs again man! WOW.
@@jabbasnutsack You smell of trolling ewww sip some hater juice
Years ago I saw Michael Franzese on TV and he said "if you get called to a sit-down and think you're going to get whacked don't go". Brilliant advice!
Who would go? LOL
@@sweeper1977 Sonny Black went.
Hopefully you’re not to the robotic trauma that causes people to go-following orders.
I can't imagine how difficult it is for you to revisit these events. I have no doubt that what your dad told you about how things happened was true. He had no reason to lie to you about that. He had nothing to gain from it. I think they were threatened by your dad, and his potential for leadership and success. There's always such an undercurrent game of chess for power. I have found that, when put to the test, very few people are loyal and deserving of trust. That's why my circle has always been small. You are blessed to have a few very good people who have your back and mainly God - He has you covered! God bless you!
I wholly agree, sadly some people seem to believe that this is some kind of open dictionary for them and they have a right to stamp over real life and real people and it is deplorable behaviour. Best wishes to you all 💯❤️
I read somewhere where Carlo Gambino ordered Joe Colombo Not to have the second annual Italian-American rally, because all of the attention it was drawing to the Mob. So when Colombo ignored this, he got hit according to this story I read.
I have also heard this. In this time frame you did not go against Don Carlo. You get dead
Yea it was Carlo but also the other bosses agreed with him. It was not crazy Joe Gallo. That’s one of the biggest mafia myths ever.
Facts carlo Gambino ordered this hit
Read the same.
Been interested in the history of "the life" for more than 50 years. Keeping names, dates, cities, family affiliations, etc. Michael, you bring first hand, real world knowledge and Gods' wisdom to us followers. Continued thanks.
@@theunholinesswithin70 God bless u
Same here my friend .. incredible huh??
As an Italian and family in south of italy I've always been fascinated with the mafia and its untold mystery, I'm 40 but the past year listening to your storys and Sammys have been wonderful..hope to see your tour in Glasgow....
God bless you and your family x
Love this guy mob stories...living in vegas and walking through the casinos here I always think about what deals would mike make now if he was involved in vegas ...awesome
Thank you for another great upload, look forward to these every Monday. Its one of the highlights of Monday, May have to go back to the daily grind but at least there's story time with Mr Franzese! Salute my friend!🍷
Michael, thank you for always sending a positive message and the stories are great. They have gotten me through a few hard deployments.
Love Michael’s stories, I’ve always wondered about the Joe Colombo hit. To me personally it seems that even if the other bosses didn’t actively sanction the hit against him they facilitated it in some way.
Recently came across a newly released book by S.J. Peddie called ‘Sonny’, about Michael’s dad. Would be interested in hearing Michael’s take on it if he ever gets a chance to read it. Supposedly dictated by Sonny Franseze (God rest his soul).
Giovanni Ribisi is doing much better in this role as Joe Columbo than i thought he would.. Really enjoying this series
I 1st heard about this incident from the novel "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross.
He goes on to say how no one was charged for the killing of the black guy, because the 5 that tackled him didn't say a single word to the police. Like in the movie Goodfellas, "You said nothing, they got nothing." With no evidence to who shot the black guy, the police had to let all 5 go.
Yep especially at that time in 1971. Today it's not that simple as DNA and/or video evidence alone can lock someone up but even today if no DNA is found and no footage clearly showing the perpetrator is found then they need witnesses to talk or the case will remain unsolved.
Thank you for giving us the history on this event. I love watching The Offer and you were able to give us the full story behind the last few episodes and answer some questions I had. Thanks for all you do! Blessings to you and your family 😊
I always wondered if it gives you the chills when you see all of the surveillance videos they had of you. Like kind of a creepy knowing eyes were on you at all of those times, and you had no idea. I'd be so weirded out.
@@michaelfranzese 👍
I remember I went to work at 6 am I stayed at my friends house 2 hrs later feds raided it and they where out side wit un marked cars watching us the whole time shits a mind fuck
Great video Michael! Appreciate hearing what really happened during that time, cant wait for the other episodes in the series, God bless!
Thank you Michael for all you provide. It is amazing the stories you tell. God bless you and your family.
the guy that played dickie moltisanti in the many saints of newark would be a great joey gallo in a movie/show
Your channel is absolutely fascinating, learning of things that the average person would never know, thank you for sharing.
Ah man, can't get enough of these videos. Found you from your interview with Larry Lawton, love your content!
Thanks for another great video…Been a supporter since day one and will continue..Love the content so keep em coming
Much support and love from VA!
It's bizarre when you think about it.. the league was founded to fight the stereotypes of Italian Americans as violent mobsters - by an Italian American mobster.. who was then assassinated in a hit set up by another Italian American mobster at a rally to fight those stereotypes..
I don't think a whole lot of thought was put into the concept to be honest.
I always wondered the same. But, in that life being hard core full of it is an art form. They get robbed it is a travesty. They rob someone and the target was a sucker.
It was another racket was it not, they pocketed the money (donations from the general public)
@sisuphos
I don't disagree that the police murder more people of color than white. I agree about people being terribly racist and can justify hate with made up statistics. The leaders from every movement to include MAGA are taking advantage of people who think someone has their voice. But to say BLM is like the mob sounds like racist propaganda.
That seems to be the definition of Irony.
I've always wondered why they didn't put up a believable front man to run the thing. Joe Columbo running it made it a joke.
I'm really glad we've got you to bring this information to us because I never thought I'd be interested in any of this stuff if it weren't for the content that you provide for us. Also, I always love how you always say Everything is great on this end PRAISE GOD FOR THAT!!! and again, God Bless you, Michael.
@@theunholinesswithin70 no lol you sir just sit back and wait for what's yours.
@@theunholinesswithin70 its Michael’s channel He’s going to do and say what he wants and again if you dont like it then go to another channel! Im not a big religious guy but Michael doesn’t push religion on people and i like that!
@@theunholinesswithin70 Who are you to ask?? It's his belief so he is saying praise God. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. Mind your own business unholy within.
@@theunholinesswithin70 If this bothers you then yeah nobody's forcing you to watch this, he's a man who praises GOD for everything he does for us. You don't have to believe in him, but that's your loss.
Michael, Love the channel keep up the great content! My friends and I love sitting down and hearing these stories so please keep them coming! When will the wine be able to ship to Georgia? I'm sure you mentioned it at one point in a video but I cant remember. Look forward to ordering some!
I love how you break it down and lay it out for everybody to understand, I thank you for all your stories and videos. Excellent content 👍👍
Captivating Michael as always ... Just so interesting to watch. I've been subscribed to your channel for the last few months and I'm never disappointed. What's interesting to me as I watch this from a sleepy suburb in West London is that it doesn't matter where you are in the world, back stabbing and underhanded behaviour goes on in all walks of life.. sadly. None the less I look forward to seeing your next video and best of luck with your UK visit and hope to see you in London. Cheers mate.
Your uptick is probably thanks to “The Offer” getting people interested into the 1970’s mafia or Italian /Americans again. It’s great insight that you add to what he TV show offers. 🍷Salute to you Michael!! Your my favorite son!🕶🌞
Michael thank you for shining a light on the events of that day. Your own first hand account are
really valuable for those who want to know. Thank you.
Thanks for the story and all the content Mr Franzese! A look inside a world I would never know, God Bless you and your family!
You should do a favorite songs of the mob video. The kinds of songs you guys would listen to back in the day.
Watching The Offer, really interesting, well done, been waiting for an updated review from you. Is it true, Lenny Montana was an enforcer for the Colombo family and got the part of Luca Brasi when Ruddy and Coppola met him when he was acting as a bodyguard for Joe?
Really enjoy all your stories Michael. Thank you for everything you do!
The editing is just getting better, keep up the good work Michael!
Michael, Though I can understand your position and interest in that the IA organization, before Joe Colombo was shot, I remember seeing the news reports on it down in Philly. I asked my father what he thought about the us Italians standing up and demanding our rights. He turned to me and said, "We are a cultured people; why would we beg the uncultured to recognize our rights? It would be better to tell the government to just leave us alone." People who carry placards in the street demanding civil rights will never be free because they're demanding them from the wrong source. Our freedoms are unconditional, God-given, Natural Rights, not privileges conceded by a government.
Well said. Your father was a wise man. I'm not Italian but my father essentially taught me the same.
@@deepg7084 Our fathers were of a generation that knew evil when they saw it and had no fear of calling things what they were. We are all members of the species Homo sapiens. This is the only unifying identity we should acknowledge, regardless of where we were born, where we come from, or where we are going.
Sounds like a true American. Your average leftist believes all rights are dispensed by a government. That’s 100% wrong. Any right we have comes from God, not man.
God given? Not distributed through any organized religion, anyway. People rarely enjoy any right unless they demanded them, fought for them and/or defended them at some point.
@@D.Appeltofft Whether you believe in God as the prime mover and intelligent designer of the cosmos or not, you cannot deny that Natural Law is a subset of the Laws of Nature and part of the order set from chaos. I mentioned nothing about organized religion, but it was St. Thomas Aquinas who introduced the Aristotelean philosophy into the canons of the Roman Catholic Church merging them with the Judeo-Christian belief system in the 13th century. These ideas were heavily drawn upon by people like John Locke and Charles de Montesquieu and other great thinkers of the Enlightenment and inspired our founders when forming our government. You may wish to eliminate God from the equation, but our founders didn't. What I can tell you is that you're right about demanding and fighting for our rights, but this is only necessary when others have either stolen them from us or are attempting to do so. Also, I know for a fact that they are not Marx-given and no power on earth has any authority greater than nature to either create or distribute rights. Our natural inheritance as a species precedes any governmental organization.
Much Respect from New Mexico , I love all the mob stories. This is real American history , always lessons to be learned.
I'm so glad I came upon your channel Michael. I've always been fascinated by mob history. I practically grew up watching and reading documentaries.
This is history you’re documenting forever. Thank you for making these videos!
This and the Galante rub-out. Crazy.
Great video, thank you Michael. How do you feel about being portrayed in these shows and movies?
I love your videos and I will continue to binge watch them 🙏🏽
I really love your channel sir and really love that you’re a Christian and seem like a really great man. And for the record, your father was a serious stud. God bless his soul and god bless you and your family.
Hi Michael! I hope that all is well. It is tragic that someone who was trying to take a stand against racial profiling was murdered. It must have been a sad and traumatic day for you. Thanks for providing personal insight on what actually happened on the day of the shooting. Lovely video! Best wishes!
I just subscribed to your channel, and I'm really enjoying your stories. Keep em coming.
Another great video Mr. Franzese. I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in the Bronx and remember this incident very well. I was around fourteen at the time and still remember seeing the signs in all the local shops saying “This business will be closed on Italian American Unity day etc;…” and I also remember many of the Italian-American store owners weren’t the least bit happy about losing a full days’ business. I distinctly remember my best friend’s Dad who owned a butcher shop with his brother saying he was all for unity, but the wrong people were running the show.
"The Offer "is such an amazing series glad to see you cover it.I was wondering if you were going to. I like the casting. Although I think they could have did better with Joe bonano. Are you ever going to cover Gomorrah or have you yet?
Thanks for bringing us so much awesome content Michael .
Are you the real Darth Vader?
@@carlstrickland5573 I am real deal .
Ok…then…carry on
Thank you. As I watch the series im glad you're able to bring more clarity
Always love your stories Michael. Don’t do too much but it’s the right amount of knowledge to know about the life.
Michael when I commented a couple weeks ago asking if you would review the movie 2000 Mules and you answered me and said you would watch it I didn't know you would actually have a sit down with Dinesh himself, hearing him talk about politics is just amazing, he is a true genius when it comes to that stuff.
Michael i originally followed your channel because of your mob movie reviews but your most important videos are actually your political videos, why? because you are smart and really know what you are talking about and you present all the facts and are well spoken. you have a big audience and alot of people just don't know what's really going on in the world because of the fake media has almost complete control over the entire country, and your videos tell the truth, no bias whatsoever. so these videos are even more important then you think. Alot of times i learn what's going on in the world from your videos, (i barely watch the news anymore because they are incapable of telling the truth)
Michael you really should start your own news site or news channel on youtube or even regular TV or even your own social media platform like trump did, or any service that can reach people. micheal we need people like you to help us in this day of age where all conservatives are censored, we need people like you and trump and dinesh and the small percent of others who are trying to help us. We need rich, powerful people with morals to fight against the democrats and their cancel culture and their evil ways. we need people like you micheal to stop the madness and stupidity of the what the democratic party has become. Us internet trolls or whatever you want to call us who make minimum wage have no power at all, all we can do is complain and comment online, but you micheal and all the rich and powerful conservatives need to use all the money and resources you have to fight back and turn this country back to what it was before all the idiocracy, do it for all of us the real americans who need your help. do what the democrats did, start a bunch of social media platforms and TV channels all for conservatives and beat them at their own game. there is really only one news station that tells the truth vs every other one that spits out propaganda. it's too unbalanced. so do what they did but instead of using the media to tell lies just simply tell the truth. because like George Orwell said: "In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act"
2000 mules has been debunked. But keep believing lies sold to you by grifters and ex felons who admitted in court they made it all up. But hey keep giving them money

@@EST-303 how much does it cost?
The actor who played Al Ruddy in that movie went to my High School. It's a pretty good movie. Still hard to beat Donnie Brasco.
@@michaelfranzese Miles Teller. Keep an eye out for him. Great actor. he was just in Top Gun as well. Hope all is well Michael!
Hi Michael, I’m from the UK. I saw you doing a few media rounds on British news stations a few weeks ago and I thought you came across really well like usual. Excited to see you tour the UK this year, keep up the good work friend 👍🏻
Amazing story telling, Michael you are the real deal. Here at work listening too you and enjoying your content. Thank you
2 weeks in a row a heart from you now I got my own story to tell. 😊 thanks!!
I have my own crazy theory. I think Jerome Johnson was sent by someone from Colombo's crew .once he shot his target they killed him so he won't talk .. I find it weird with all the commotions and caos after Colombo got shot that someone was able to spot Johnson and take a clean shot of him without no one else getting hit
Thats a pretty good point, but you have to remember Jerome was a black man in a crowd of lighter skinned Italians he would have been easy to spot even in the commotion.
well spoken: ✔
Informative: ✔
history lesson: ✔

Thanks for another amazing video. If you ever tour Australia I’ll be there in a heartbeat. Have a great day.
Great Episode Michael I Love Hearing Your Perspective You Obviously Have Alot Of Insight Having Been Around When Alot Of These Events Happened Thanks For Sharing Be Safe And God Bless You
Thank you Michael, I can personally agree that the backstabbing and treachery among other things happen in our Militaries. It's everywhere and sadly, a part of life. Information is power and money, and when those three intersect? Well, you yourself know the result. It's amazing to me how many folks are oblivious to what happens around them. Mayhap they're the lucky ones?? Or is it better to be hyperaware? I chose the latter because I choose too. Salute' 🇺🇸
You have grandbabies now Michael ! Doggies and Kitties are not animals they're people they're living creatures that have feelings ! 🐕🐈🐾
Please.
Animals are people?
No fool animals are animals. Animals that live with your family are not family.
Crazy outta your head
So glad to hear you talk about Joe Colombo. He seemed to have a big impact on you. It was sad to see him die.
Love your videos keep them coming.

Love all of this info., and the stories are amazing.
Excellent job mr. Franzese!
Great video Michael! I vividly remember the incident. Appreciate all you do in your ministry. I just recently saw in one of my old books called, "A Pictorial History of the Mafia", a note about your dad that says that the house where you were raised was bugged by the FBI while it was being built. Is this true? Thanks & God Bless you!
150 k to go, thank you as always for the content. Love from Cincinnati to the crew. 🙏
Love the video 🔥
Thank you Micheal
Once More..Great history and a great podcast...much peace ✌️
Was waiting for this vid!
Great episode Michael as always. Blessings
Love the insight you provided!
Always enjoy your videos
Another Great Sitdown Michael!!!❤❤❤
Keep up the good work sir. Truly enjoy your content.
This is a hit I’ve always wanted to know more about thanks Micheal have a blessed week
Sir. Your audience thanks you. Again.
The content is great. The content of your heart is better. The way you speak and chose your words. It’s a gentleman’s art lost in today’s era.
Cannot wait until your close enough that I can make seeing a show in person a reality.
I've been a sub for a while Michael I love the content. I'm anxious waiting for the chance to have a taste of your wine. La vino te fas quappo. I didn't win a bottle in the contest so I guess I'm going to have to buy some soon lol. I haven't seen all your videos but I'm close. When I stumbled upon your videos, my mind was blown. I said to myself, good God Michael Francese is on UA-cam. I know the name and thought it was amazing. Still do to this day. You have very positive messages for your viewers and wish you the best in life brother. Keep up the great work
Another good vid.I just finished your audio book Mafia Family. Was particularly thrilled when I heard your voice reading.I loved it.Ive watched ALL of your vids.I mentioned to you b4 that I spent 4 years in New York Jersey city Bayonne srea for 4 yrs in the middle 70s.NY was like the wild wild west.If you havnt watched the yourube vid New York 77 the coldest day in hell I'd highly recommend you watch it.
Great story..you make me love Monday’s now…
Great video ‘Michael!. I’ve been watching the offer and really really like it. Great show!
Great Video. Thanks Again Michael
Great insight Michael. Loved hearing stories about your dad’s era. I think The Offer is probably driving your subscriber growth. And vice versa you drive viewers for them. Now that he’s passed, you should collaborate with a researcher to write a detailed biography of your father.
I'm away on holiday ( vacation ) Micheal when you're on in Liverpool. Absolutely gutted would have loved to have seen you. Take care pal and hope the tour goes well.
