Life or Death- A Mafia Sit Down I'll Never Forget | Michael Franzese 

Amen!!

Waiting for his story to be corroborated because countless mafiosi claim his stories are fugazi.

my friends wouldn't even lie to the wives or the fucking school principal for my ass lmao they sure wouldn't lie to an made old timer for me they'd give the dude my address and schedule lol

he grew up in the once upon a times. before internets taught us to backstab our friends, friendship meant something.

@@rondaallen7211 I'm sure you're right about backstabbing on the internet, especially on social media. I've never had it happen to me though. I have had friends backstab me in person, not on the internet, but never online I'm not sure what you mean. How does a friend backstab you on the internet? Do you mean like, talking shit about you or something?

to be completely honest, that’s how lost italians tell stories! at least the older generation.

I I agree with you man

@Scott Davidson really?

because he is, hes as real as it gets.

Who are you anyway

clever😂

Gotta have a sit down to decide the sit down 🤣

😂

I think Mario Gigante was probably the guy Michael is talking about and he is the older brother of Vincent Gigante

Hahaha 🤣

In Iv ghh❤hjkkk o

He can roll with a story, no breaks and he keeps it interesting. You gotta have brass balls to be in the mob and a little crazy too, I suppose. You need balls of steel to walk away. It's amazing Michael is still breathing.

@real american Nobody went to prison because of him, and he never turned informant. If his father is ashamed of him, it's only because he did the right thing and reformed himself. I don't think any of us can pass judgment on a man for that, especially when we're just run-of-the-mill regular people with no frame of reference for the life Mr. Franzese has led. I'm not trying to set you off or anything, I just think that's something you should consider.

His father is dead, and wasn’t ashamed of any of his children.. for those claiming he’s a snitch please post the 302 documents.. nobody has yet to do so.. lol..

@real american Break don't bend...Bend don't break. These are the motto's of two very old Scottish clans ok,which one are you?

@real american You're not in a mafia clan either but you've commented.Did you understand the question?

contradicts himself. Says you cant go against a made guy. but yet his guy hurts anothers guys over a civilian hmmmmmm

@@jamesodriscoll6748 Michael himself was a made guy so it isn’t as deep

@@jamesodriscoll6748 the brother in law probably wasn’t made

Loyalty to a life in hell and an eternity in flames.

After WW2, the Mafia had great leaders such as Carlos Gambino. Compared, Gotti, like Trump, overplayed his hand. By 'great', I mean business skills rather than thugery. But the Mafia is the past and the Latin American cartels the present and future because Hispanics have a large street presence and the USA's thinks it can win the Drug War like it won in Vietnam and Afghanistan. I like Michael Franzese because he is an adept student of Power yet also a 'peacier' rather than warrior- a consigliari. Unfortunately, the Mafia mostly has lost these and became stuck with dumb psychotics...

YES.

As amazing as it would and might be, I dare to doubt that Michael himself might be interested in that idea. Remember he related in other video that when his character was introduced in the movie Goodfellas, he and his wife left the cinema. Maybe a movie with a character with a different name, but everything happening in that hypothetical movie would be changed and there would be some artistic liberties/.

i agree 100%

I understand there is already a Tv show in production that is based on his life in the mob... called American Royalty

He makes a cameo (played by an actor obviously) in Goodfellas for what it's worth.

Like it or not, this is the class of people that used to run America. Tough, but fair. It's tragic what's become of organized crime today. It's all corporations, hands-off business. Between the mayors of big cities like Chicago and the president, it's a circus, and nothing works right. The streets are a mess and community organizers and their little armies are the muscle, while cops stand by with their hands in their pockets. Nowadays people aren't afraid of the mafia, they're afraid of the feds, the most powerful criminal outfit in the world.

@@michaelscott-joynt3215 theres no way he said he would put his brother in law in the hospital. you cant threaten peoples family.

@@elipav484 you remind me of jerry

Lol 😂😂 that's how I feel about being in the shape I'm in I may not make it but this war will never end of I die 🤣 my money is the reason

@@elipav484 in the criminal world you can do whatever you want

BELIEVE THAT BLESS YOU 😉🎯

Yup

I like this guy. Straight up guy..👍

@@CarlosVazquez-jx4hp wut

Michael saved his big mouthed salesman I experienced similar things in the phone business in S Florida working for a few of Lanski s made guys

Mentally and physically haha so true

This man reached level 100 Rank Don level and graduated!! Then becoming a Christian 👍👍he won the game what a journey. God bless Michael Franzese 🙏 boatload of information you can learn from this man to better our lives. Wow

Definitely lol & he’s still so handsome he’s got a lucky wife ...

i agree hes still respected too. in that world.. amazing

Haha you dont know me🤣

you could say he made him an offer he can't refuse i mean... IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR LOL

1. Ambition 2. Strategy 3. Negotiation

What about the lives he took?

@@bastadimasta he's said it multiple times. This life is not very nice. If you don't go by their book, you're done.

@@vergil1155exactly like if he said “nah this is horrible I don’t wanna do it anymore” he would instantly be killed

He showed no signs of weakness. If he did. Jerry would've been dead and Mike would've died by now for sure. But the lord was always on his side. By him, everyone got blessed.

Exactlyyyy

That ain't gonna do it. Coronavirus has to get whacked.

@@giorgiogazzola5972 Consigliere Anthony Fauci gonna bust Corona's balls.

Hamza K what about the bull

LMAO facts but I'm afraid only Christ can do that. Pestilence is scary but so is dying UNSAVED

@@hamzak2181 Fauci is a mafia guy alright but not on our family.

Did you ever hear any stories about michael while growing up in brooklyn

@@conpop6924 my bf says yea

@@conpop6924 you know sonny?

@@pressstart8738 michaels father sonny? Yea ive heard who he was

@@conpop6924 no sonny in “a bronx tale” movie

Always.... again thank you for sharing your story with all of your fans

Very smart man. Very intelligent. I love to hear his mafia stories. Im fighting cancer and you love hearing you, you seem to be a down to earth guy. Take care fratello, from Montreal

Freakin love this guy. Keep it comin.

@@michaelfranzese Michael, are you Sonny Franzese's biological son? I've seen different reports online and am not sure which one is correct. Thank you

Yep.

Sammy G’s giving him a good run for his money

Sammy's even better

Definitely Bob Sammy the bull is incredible, I was super excited to watch Mike Tyson but he’s always drugged up so hard too understand lol! Great character and athlete the regardless.

I accept that!!!!!

This is fucking deep

Good stories

This guy spent half the video justifying his admitted lies, wouldn't exactly call him honest

@@Einhauser lmao not getting the point

Nice big, beautifull, succulent horn rimmed glasses.

@@jimjenkins1323 wrong app bro

Spot on mate ! Met him over here in the UK 3 years ago. He's great to talk to, but you wouldn't want to owe him money.

Yup. I wonder what he said to Jerry in that car

I recently watched his testimony about the mob's involvement in boxing. He was very young, but there was a power to his demeanor that was undeniable, even under those circumstances.

@@elethaduffy976 is that on this channel?

@@JMS849 All I can say is that I am confident I would not have wanted to be in Jerry's shoes. I'm sure any reprimand from the 'made-man' Michael would have been very stern indeed.

like John Wick, only with much less killing men in bars with a pencil.

He had to live in hiding for years because there were contracts on his life, even approved by his own father, a story he's told a few times. Would hardly call that "with the blessing of the mafia." The only real reason he's been able to be so public is he's basically out lived the guys that wanted him dead essentially.

He was in no way shape or form permitted to retire. It just so happens he has outlived them all or they are in prison serving life sentences.

@@mrjefferson999999 Yeah. The reason he lives now, I suspect, is because he's pretty high profile, "not worth the heat" so to speak.

Your comment cements exactly why the Mafia are all slime. They betray and kill their own so called loyal members. They are low life criminals nothing more and certainly not to be admired. They steal from the common man and rule through fear and violence. THEY ARE ALL SCUM

That's what's kept him alive

@@Evelynshere very evidently lol

I like that comment!

Wont happen he didnt tell 75%of what he did because that can lead to jail time even if its a movie. Maybe after his death there will be a movie made from a hidden book he has laying there unraffling hidden secrets and all other things that has to do with him

@Brr Young Yeah I figured. I’m almost positive he caught at least a couple bodies but won’t talk about it because of statues of limitation.

Movie maybe ,,,but not Scorsese

@morrisonreed1 why not?

@@ligmaballs0911 check out the irishman ,not so good

This is where you go 'alright you are unhappy, let's take this up with the boss, m'kay?'

Hes a murderer, lifetime criminal, and wasnt even loyal to his “former life”. Complete con man and dirtbag. Using Christianity to try and cover up his past while he profits off these juicy mob stories.

Well he's now for sure, but don't forget this guy took at least one life. I like his stories, I like the fact he's a speaker and left all that behind, but don't idealize him like that...

100 percent agree

These generation should learn from micheal hes choices of words he uses with respect no matter who you are words like very kind and thank you..hes done it all back in his days and a made man now days micheal these wana be gangsters categorized those kind respectful words as non gangster or weak a square guy makes me mad hope they see this video which I always share your videos so they can learn manners and still be a bad ass.Thank you

In a nut shell he gets Michel into the movie business.

Plus cooperating with the government

Regarding Rahab, the argument from silence is a fallacy. Ananias and Saphira were executed by God himself for lying - and they were operating under the new covenant, as Christians. If the value of human life was greater than truth, the wages of sin would not be death.

@@The_Scouts_Code "Christians" aren't under a "new Covenant". God made no promise, of a new Covenant with anyone, other than the house of Israel, and Judah. This idea of a "new Covenant" for Christians, is a fallacy, not supported by the teachings of Jesus, or the OT.

sound dumb asf just watch the fucking video

G O D D A M N I T

@@chivoh6808 What do you think started the conversation?

You ain’t got a wife with Sicilian blood

Try having a Puerto Rican one.

lol

Hahahaha

You all just have to beat them.

i agree, sometimes lying is better for people than the truth

😂you're lying right now...

Ey theres a different kinda lie and some of them did save someone life

so you also felt the threat just as i did i felt like he looked right into the camera through the computer and into my soul and said "if you don't subscribe you'll be dead in an hour" LOL

He assured you that either your subscription or your brains would be on the screen

@@michaelfranzese me 2..subscribed to channel, waiting for new videos! All the best

I agree 100%

I 2’d that

Michael is an idol of mine

💯💯💯

I like your profile pic brother. MM #1095

Thanks Brother! #233 AF&AM(Maryland)

My grandmother called it "stretching the truth" if it's protecting someone I don't have issues. Rather confess my sins than live with a death on my mibd

classic, no different in the corporate world...gotta meet about when we're going to meet haha

Forgetta bout it

Facts💯

What an the boss becomes a born again happy clappy so he can continue in the money making scams that they do no thanks

@@mikhailv67tv I bet he really is the happiest he's ever been and that seems to bother you lol who is Michael scaming right now?

@@billhughes1170 I like the guy and it had to be something powerful to pull the man out of the life. What I've read, love of a good woman and a new set of rules. Maybe he didn't want to do 50 years in jail too. The fact the supports the most Machiavellian President in US history is a bit strange, but his not the only Christian that has been hoodwinked by the man happier to pay way more tax in China than the US. I for the life of me can not see how evangelicals would think the God would approve of 45 he's in the other end of righteous and his policies are not good for families, allowing Vivid to run rapid, betraying Allied nations, blackmailing the President of an Ally at war with Russia by with holding needed military support, the list goes on and on. I don't get Michael Franceze's support of 45, I get him being a conservative and Republican but supporting that man, 45 Ha if he wants to do the righteous thing vote for Biden and relook at his performance in 2024. Then hopefully the GOP will have a normal, honest, hardworking, candidate Maybe I'm being a tad harsh but I really don't think a born again story makes a good video game.

@Jonathan Williams ok. Fact check me and say where.

Ikr I have scenery in my head

Too bad M3 was a disappointment

@@gretathuumberg ehhh debatable

@@bdot11 > Great soundtrack > Beautiful map > Beautiful cinematic > Vito Scaletta > Nice weapon selection < repetitive gameplay < buggy gameplay < buggy missions to the point of being unplayable < The shopkeepers felt very artificial, it would have been more immersive if they allowed you to buy goods < the non-functioning mirrors breaks immersion Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed M3 but the cons really did make it feel rushed

2k does not own the mafia anymore. Hangar 13 does. That is wahy mafia 3 was so shit.

Even the Bible must inherently possess the cybernetic concept of hierarchical prioritization, or be less intelligent than the animal intelligences that are incapable of hierarchical prioritization.

The Egyptian midwives lied to save the children of the Hebrews from pharaoh.

The Bible is the last place I'd look for moral guidance
