Is the Cali Cartel in Colombia Still Active? Former Leader of Cali Cartel 

What did Jesus say? “Stop being a dummy!” Then slapped you back to life? Lol

hey Michael I've been following you for a while now and you are just great you and Sammy the way you guys tell what you experience is just amazing I follow you a little more than Sammy I just like how you're so respectable and I really feel like what you say on the podcast is truthful... I just like the way you compose yourself in a manner where you have leadership skills as well as you have the ability to pretty much get anything you want when you set your mind to it so thanks for all your experience and keep up the good work!

Don’t reply to that first comment under the original post it’s fake obviously

Hey man I'm glad you did! No matter what people say man! Whatever helps you get off bro I'm with you man!! As one who is currently addicted and I myself want nothing but to be sober one day!!

I wasnt in Vegas in 85

Talking about how insecure some “men” get

​@@alexiswashington4081its not about being insecure. U cant do that because that girl can start talking. Thats why

They are businessmen. Its justs they wont talk to u because u r nothing to them

Don't hit on other ppls women esp. If you ain't from there

@@kem1233they are not business man 🤦🏽‍♂️

Only one of the Ochoa went to prison

@@TerpsMatterPodcast the Ochoas were the real owners of the coca farms. that's why only the son went to prison and the father stayed out of prison. they still to this day own a huge amount of land. they are legit now ironically do to making so much money in the 70s-90s.

Lehder is a nut case. Still is. He lives in germany.

That’s wicked Sean Atwood commenting on Michaels videos

Difference is they done it in the USA. U think there's real law enforcement in Colombia

You're giving them too much credit against Pablo.. lol he was fighting every Cartel in Colombia, Colombian Government and the US government

@@hibachipapi no Cali was NOT like Medellincartel. They never fought against the columbian gouv. Pablo did it and it was the end for him. Pablo was too suceptibal; almost stupid. These Cali guys were muchcmore smart. Even when the Dea and columbian cartels were pushing on high preassire on Cali they never reacted lile this asshole of Medellin

You gotta be kidding, right? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Clearly you have NO CLUE about what Italian Mafia was (and still is): worldwide connections with politicians, governments, powerful institutions... all done in First World countries.

@@michaelfranzese oh yeah was very fascinating

For Mob Movie Monday could you please review Blood in Blood out one of my favorite and would love your take on it

@@michaelfranzese hey man i love your show and have watched you for years. I heard a story about your dad and it didnt sound right so i thought id ask and see what happens. I heard somewhere that he had a sitdown with carlo gambino and during the sitdown he reached into his pocket to grab a napkin or something and carlo dove to the floor thinking he was reaching for a gun. Now this story sounds stupid i just was wondering if you ever heard anything like this. Thanks man

@@michaelfranzese is it OK with a disclosure of the info, Michael ?

Y’all are pieces of shit simple as that

Yeah they killed anyone who wouldn't be racketed 🤮😖🤬

Oy vey! Is that you Susan?

@@flammenwaffenfries3039 You know it goy!

Doubt Michael has any enemies who want to assassinate him....

@@heightsofsagarmatha You don’t understand the weight of slights in the mob.

@@SusanWojcickiTheBolshevik but current Costra Nosa is very under radar, making an assassination on a public figure makes no sense,

Don’t squeal and do your time

Don't talk like you some mafioso looser. Change "we" with "they" and it's all good.

@@MbisonBalrog He’s not in Prison.

Yes What happens is that those from New York never had a concrete alliance with another criminal organization, even with Cosa Nostra itself and Ndrangheta in Italy, their relationships were murky. There were very greedy guys like Carlo Gambino, Paul Castellano, Vincent Gigante and other bosses who They were content with receiving millions of dollars from other activities and they only worked for that when they wanted to get into drugs, a group agreed. They started talking to those in Italy about heroin, but again that group of old bosses refused when the Bonanno family began to earn thousands of millions of dollars from the trafficking of heroin coming from the Sicilians. The boss of the Bonanno at that time began to represent a threat to the old men since it was seen from leagues that he was going to destroy them due to economic and tactical power, so they conspired and They killed him, I'm talking about Carmine Galante, former head of the Bonanno with a very good relationship with the Sicilians. That didn't happen with the mafia installed in Canada. Rizzutto, Musitano, Pappalia, Cuntrera-Coruana and the others were involved in heroin trafficking and They began to talk to the Colombian cartels and other parts of South America using contacts from Italy that already had a relationship with the Cosa Nostra cartels, but currently the Ndrangheta work together and very well moving tons of cocaine to Europe, Canada and Us and the New York mafia was almost extinct and without relevance today the ndrangheta with a very strong presence in Canada works without problems with the Mexican, Colombian, Peruvian, Bolivian cartels

Parents who favor have failed the others. Why do you feel pride in your siblings loss? You have to repent your selfish ways and apologies for your family. I hope the guilt will guide you out of the darkness you live in.

@@michaelfranzese …. I like to hear some cool stories when you and your crew would hang out at STUDIO 54 in your heyday’s Michael, and I know you got some good “kinky” stories to tell too so don’t try to plea the 5th 😂😂

Yes!! Even frank sinatra

My life is only getting better … because I think like a “ racketeer “ not a “ gangster “ .!

Yes, for no reasons, other than the envy, greed & utter stupidity of a handful of people, that tried anything and everything to shatter my life . Along with losing my '"BEST OF BEST FRIENDS" to cancer. I went to actually meet a Woman, half way across the World, who became the female version of MY BEST FRIEND for giving me a 2nd chance in life...

@@michaelfranzese there's someone using your pyridine name and pic trying to scam ppl

Mundo Mendoza would be a fire interview. A lot of RU-vidrs are afraid to interview Mexican Cartel or Mexican Mob members.

@@Calvinmob681 Italian mobsters were brutal, Mexican, Colombian cartels are sociopaths

That would be dope!!

Heard that story a million times. Gangbanger gets his life together but can’t quite let go. Heard it over and over

Michael needs to listen to this one, Mundo was a huge figure in the Mexican mafia. It might be a bit strange though because the Mexican mafia is mostly focused on prison politics

How many hundreds of people did this guy order to be tortured and killed?

@@michaelfranzese Great interview. Next, pls try to have a sit-down with Pablo Escobar's son. Hope you can visit here in the Philippines to have a talk. God bless!

@@michaelfranzese my stepfather knew pablo, and visited him at catedral of envigado. In 1991

Colombia cartels always had way more strong ties with italian Mafias (Camorra, Cosa Nostra, Ndrangheta) in Italy than american Mafia

And the Puerto Ricans

in Europe they had links with the sicilian mafia

You think with 5 mafia familys in new york would not know what drugs come in without making money think

@@francomazzu2491 well all the 5 families were involved with wholesaling drugs... I do not understand your point! The 5 families were just more diversified in their criminal rackets. drugs was on a smaller scale

@olteb3773 nyc was Mafia turf, they had to pay kickbacks to the families in order to do business in nyc

@Michael Franzese bot

@Micheal Franzese Mafia Prince audio by Phil Leonetti@ 7 hrs 33 min he tells you where Little Nicky says dealing drugs was forbidden.Then Raymond (Long John)Montorano tells Nicky Bruno,Testa,Capenagro were the biggest drug dealers in Philadelphia... 1986 they would shake down drug dealers for the street tax and would loan shark them to finance their operation..... Sorry for the spelling of names

Pablo's brother also said that was a bad move. Did Pablo think he could be both president and drug lord at the same time?!

@@eigilleikvam119 Definitely a great sit down! Hope to see another one 👍

​@@rustysmoviecollectibles5875of course the worst move was to get into politics. Thats when he truly found out the Demon size 🐋 he was up against

@@eigilleikvam119 Saludos, soy Colombiano. Definitivamente Pablo pensó que podía ser narcotraficante y presidente al mismo tiempo. Pablo tenia un poder grandísimo y estaba fuera de control, arrodilló al pais entero con sus macabros crímenes y aun con todo su poder no pudo con la mafia mas grande de mi pais (la politica)

@Michael Franzese get a heart

I have some friends who are paisa and the accents and dialect are weirdly similar

I could safely bet that no one from The Ochoa family would sit down to do a podcast/RU-vid interview for someone’s RU-vid channel. What would be the benefit to their family other than to generate gossip & make someone else money? Los caleños desde los tiempos de antaño hasta el día d hoy, han sido y siempre serán obsesionadamente envidiosos d Medallo. You say you were “raised in NYC since I was 4 yrs old” & you don’t know this? Hmm, interesting! It’s easy to have an interview, when the interviewee is not from that World, from that culture, nor from that country (Colombian). He didn’t know what to ask and from what perspective Mr Orejuela was replying from. The Medellin culture is completely different. That’s why it’s the most hated & envied upon. If you’ve known anyone that’s been in the feds, even the Latinos from other countries notice the “Vibes” the people from Cali give off. It’s not liked nor respected. La mayoría d los sapos son Del Valle del Cauca . Solo hablé y comente, cuando sepa y esté seguro, d q en la calle no lo vayan a desvestir 😉

I pray for Sammy….he is lost and I don’t think he’s going to make it back home❤️🙏😞 He hasn’t learned what he came here to learn like Michael. That is simply….what love is all about. Especially for his fellow man. Very little patience, understanding, selflessness or love from that man. He’d rather fly off the handle and kill you. You have to learn and acquire the attributes of God while your here in your temporary home🙂❤️ And arrogance alone will keep you out of Heaven

You are so spot on. Great call with Ed Calderon.

In the last couple years the Mexican cartels have evolved again. Fentanyl and methamphetamine have chanced everything

ED is a fake

@@Thebluesky0311 In what way?

@@michaelfranzese hi Michael, can we ever have a podcast with William one day , like the one u had with sammy thw bull, but this time, I will share my stepfather ivan de la vega story with all of you, thank you
