The Mafia Code, Turning on the Mob, and Life After Prison, with "Sammy the Bull" Gravano 

Never thought I'd heard of a ex mobster talking about their RU-vid subscribers

Now I want to see Megyn Kelly interview Michael Franzese

My family moved here from Sicily because of the black hand. They moved to Chicago and had just as much trouble in the early 1920's. They ended up moving to Jersey and finally found peace from the mob. It was and still is no joke.

Love him or hate him, his stories are fascinating. Great interview..

I've heard all of this before. Still, this was great and beautifully handled 👏 Sammy can go on and on. I honestly love it when he does but he understood when you said this is all well known now. You were both great 👍 Hope to see more interviews like this.

My Grandmother who went trough Ellis Island from Italy. married my grandfather, 5 children (Roman Catholic-No birth Control), one severely disabled. Grandfather had a life changing coal mine injury. Went to the head of the Cosa Nostra in PA explained her circumstances. He listened carefully, told my grandmother to go back home and not to worry. Received Black Lung compensation for life, told my grandmother what pharmacy to visit, and what "nervous" hospital to take my Aunt to. She never paid another hospital/drug bill for the next 40 years. Only one time, when we went to a restaurant. Both my grandparents, with my grandmother in tears she walked over to his table. He stood up so quickly because she was a woman. My dad told me years later who that was and what he did for our family. I am forever grateful. That is a 100% fact.

“The only Vietnamese people I know do my nails and toenails…good people.” Too funny

F. Lee Bailey was the lawyer whose name he forgot. Other than that moment, he seems to remember virtually everything he's ever been involved with, and can immediately recall events and people down to specific details. Amazing. He's a very careful listener and always thinks before speaking.

Crazy. Americans fascinated with the mob. The Godfather one of the most successful movies of all time. RIP James Caan. “Sonny”.

Sammys pod cast is amazing. I never miss an episode. Fascinating. Very tragic. But absolutely fascinating

Full of pride don't even repent satan all over him

Great interview with Sammy the Bull ., love it

As much as I love the political episodes, these kinds of conversations are awesome! I love it!

I 1st heard Sammy the Bull on Jordan Harbinger podcasts and found his story’s interesting. I have kept listening to Sammy on his podcasts. Thanks for your interview Meghan

I've watched several interviews about Sammy and his podcast and this is by far the best one👍🏻

Sammy is 77 years old and as sharp as a tack! Great news because he can continue to entertain us with all his enthralling stories.

The life in the mafia is a treacherous life. I experienced it for about 7 years and the things I’ve learned there are priceless. There’s NO loyalty at all yet guys know how to create a strong atmosphere where it looks like it is. I went to prison and a guy owed me $40,000. I sent someone to get my money from him to pay my attorney and give the rest to my family. He refused to pay me saying he’s broke yet he had a lot of money. He then put my name in a murder mystery and in return I was viewed as a killer by law enforcement. I knew right then that the life was no good.

This is one of the best interviews. I’ve seen with Sammy or any mobster. Great job, Megyn.

My aunts sister (my uncles wifes' sister) lived in Arizona, all she had was college aged food, she grabbed a can of soup but didn't have an opener. She went next door and asked her next door neighbor if she could borrow his. "Of course sweetheart, com on in", they had a 5 minute chat, he gave her the can opener and left, went back to return it, and he said, "you need anything sweetie, have some money as a welcome to the neighborhood", she wouldn't take it but was basically forced to in a nice way. A week later, dozens of cops came to his apartment and arrested him. It was Sammy The Bull Gravano, he was in the witness protection program and was dealing drugs. Don't look at Sammy like a monster, he only killed other monsters!

You should have Michael Franzese on too

I worked at IBM in Endicott, NY. The mob moved from NYC to Endicott when Bobby Kennedy went after the mob. My friend at IBM had a daughter who married John Gotti’s son. He told me that he warned his daughter that they may never see her after the wedding. The Gotti’s had two receptions. One for the Gotti’s and one for the in-laws. My friend was NOT invited to the Gotti reception where his own daughter was. He hadn’t seen his daughter since the wedding ceremony. I worked in Endicott in the mid 1980’s.

Wow! That was an intriguing, mesmerizing interview! Great job Ms. Kelly!

This interview by Megan Kelly is the real deal.

great interview Megyn , I follow Sammy on YT , I can listen to the guy's stories all day , RIP James Cann

Megyn asked some great questions great interview.

I learnt some new things about sammy in this interview, great job Ms kelly

It’s nothing for us to learn . He needs to learn from us. God created us and gave us the free will. Don’t blame on god for your stupid crime. If he is not going ask for forgiveness, he is going straight to hell.

I am one of those Law Enforcement nuts that listens religiously to Sammy the Bull Podcasts. Retired 10 years ago.

You are the best very professional 👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Very different, sort of like her true crime pieces. I got sucked in, I can't believe it, I could not stop watching. I just love Megyn, fantastic interview, hypnotic. Megyn Kelly is one of the best interviewers in the business. I would not have watched this had it not been Megyn. One of the best shows on utube, again, just love Megyn Kelly.

Reading the lengthy Wikipedia article as a prologue is breath-taking. Riveting interview. A rare inspection of a criminal mind. This man is a survivor par excellence. Even now, at 77, you can feel his energy, his vitality radiating love of living (his own). And be impressed by his lucidity, how he managed to maintain his sanity through all this turmoil, and the amazing strength of his arms and shoulders. No wonder they called him "the bull".

Sammy is everywhere! He is working his ass off

Sammy Gravano, talks straight whatever he has done in the “Life he chose” he makes no apologies for his life, he is a true gangster plain and simple! He is very articulate and is such a great storyteller, his recollection of events and crimes is so impressive! The show went by very quickly, Megan Kelly, is such an articulate journalist her calm and direct speaking skill is incredible even at moments when she was taken aback she kept professional and respectful, I’m sure she could have continued the conversation for 3-4 hours. Excellent show!

Congratulations. What a utterly fascinating interview. I think the biggest take for me is that he lived two different lives at the same time. A devoted family man with what seems like decent morals and then the flip side, a ruthless murderer. As I said....Fascinating!

The "trial questioning " approach from Megan is just so pathetic and frankly I'm surprised Sammy agreed to this interrogation! Ridiculous.

Thank's Megyn for sharing Sam's Story. You are one of of best journalists out there. Thanks again!

My favorite episode! So good!

I love the variety of people you bring on to your show.

Hahahaha I was laughing when Sammy said “baloney” 😂 . Michael Franzese said it a lot and Sammy called him out on that. Hahahahahaha

I watch Sammy’s podcast and live show on Monday’s. Very interesting to hear his take on the Mob. He is a great storyteller.

Megan excellent interview . Finally someone asking the tough questions. Great job. I just became a subscriber .

megyn is absolutely stunning ,,, sammys a great story teller,,,and everything he said about james cann was true

Loved how he trashed Megyn’s Catholic religion.

He is so very honest and that’s what makes him very interesting

. . . this episode, is another "best of!" You are soo gifted in interviewing & asking the best questions, Megyn. I sat on the edge of my seat during the whole interview. I loved how you brought it all back to Sammy's faith in God in the last minute. Wow! What an ending (I hope Sammy finds Jesus--he is so deceived). And then your honest reaction to it all after the episode ended. You are so relatable & get to the truth in our upside-down world. Periodically, I "clean-up" my youtube channel subscriptions to simplify my life, yet, your channel is a "keeper," Megyn. Your staff is amazing too. On top of the latest news updates that relate during the episode--James Cann was a legend, so interesting to learn what we learned during your episode, may he rest in peace. Just another "best of"--good job & thank-you so much, Megyn & team.

*SAMMY ALWAYS GIVES AN HONEST INTERVIEW. NO EGO, NO BS. PRODUCERS HEADS WERE SPINNNING WHEN SAMMY REVEALED INFORMATION ABOUT JAMES CAHN...MOB TIES. can never get an interview like this from johnny alite*

1:08:00…The Trump segment is very interesting.

Read the Bible Sammy. It is the truth

Look How Powerful the Mob was!!! They were involved in who was Going to be in the Godfather!!!! WOW!!!! James Cahn [ RIP]

His channel is the best!!! He’s an amazing storyteller

Excellent podcast. You handled this interview very well

The gift that keeps on giving

Sammy is the worst mobster ever. Failure. He murdered one boss. Ratted another out. Brought down his own mafia family. No honor. Got only 5 years for 19 murders. What did he do with that break? He got his own family long prison terms for running a drug ring. Total fk up.

Sammy’s believe well explained in Old Testament. All he needs to do is read the bible to understand the truth.

Actually. Sammy’s dad had connections. Sammy’s dad was being protected from other mafia members. Sammy grew up on the streets. With the Rampers I believe it was called. Sammy was about to shoot the one mob member for threatening his dad. Bit the Mon memeber changed his view as he found out Sammy’s dad was protected. Sammy ended up in the mafia later on in life.

Amazing in Depth Candid interview!! His beliefs on religion actually made sense & would agree with much of what he said on THAT topic.

Absolutely terrifying man, and yet charming at the same time. Great interview Megyn!

I listened to this interview twice on Sirius already. I could listen to this more times as it is so interesting.

Nice interview but the reason he did those killings is because he was told too and if he denied it, then that’s a death sentence, so in a way, he had to comply.

The only thing missing in this interview was Brendan schaub and Brian callen interrupting every 30 seconds

Wow... the simple twists of fate. In the early 60's my boy scout leader who was an Los Angeles cop took us boys on an excursion to the police stations drunk tank on a Saturday morning. I saw twenty-five guys, mostly disheveled, in one big cell with one toilet in the middle. I swore I'd never break the law... and to this day I drive 5mph under the speed limit. I stay clear of even the gray areas. At 70 I've never been arrested. The few times I've gotten pulled over for some traffic thing the officer always looks dejected upon running my license. I just say, "not the guy you were looking for?"

Crazy story telling, Megan's expression is priceless

I truly enjoy Megyn and have respect for her. I enjoy her podcast........HOWEVER, I have to say, I don't think interviewing these types of people is her strong suit at all. She is excellent w anything news and politics, but not these. Stopped halfway through, not due to him, but her. AGAIN ......complete respect for Megyn, I just hope that she sticks to her expertise. People benefit from that

Leave the gun. Take the Canoli.

Who knew it would take a petite woman to pull the best answers out of Sammy the Bull... Good for Megyn Kelly for actually having the balls to ask hard & unique questions ♥️

It's fascinating to hear this man rationalize his actions. The reasons he claims to have made his first kill and decided to turn coat are hearsay, however he presents them without any doubt about their validity.

I would bet my life savings that he is a psychopath. When Megyn pressed him to see if he had any remorse I figured she was going to be disappointed! It’s hard to wrap your mind around the fact that someone can be a good husband and father and go out an murder people without batting an eye.

It's the devil that kill still and destroy

I agree with Sammy on "religion" being bull. I'm a born again Christian, and believe that God knows who belongs to Him. If they're His sheep, He will come for them, no matter how far away they are from Him.

I’m a new subscriber solely because of these interviews and shows. You excel at this, and I love your interviewing style. Please, please continue to do them.

Great interview

Great Interview, Megyn Kelly!! Just wish you would’ve touched on a his view of Rudy Giuliani who actually began the process of removing crime in NYC as Mayor at that time…

I truly feel sometimes that at least old school mob neighborhoods from the 40's thru 80's were far safer, happier, and overall far better off than they are today without them.

Great interview Sammy is still very sharp the way he dodged the partnership question

Excellent show today, super interesting, educational as well, I am 100% with his logic/ thinking re religion... great job Megyn

I'm not a big fan of Megyn Kelly but I'm very impressed with her questions she's opening up a big platform him to speak on great interview

keep in mind the dude turned informant, do snitches tell the truth?

He may be more moral than most of his detractors. He is certainly more of a real man than others that I have known in my 72 years. I wish him the very best in his remaining years.

Sammy's I heart radio podcast is a must listen...it's riveting

I’m glad to see Meghan control the conversation with Sammy. Sammy has a way of rambling on and she kept him from going there. He and Micheal Franzise did a bio about the mob with Patrick David Bet. PDP Podcast. And their “sit down “ was great. Micheal called him out on some of his Bravado and Bragging and how he broke the mafia code. It was respectful for the most part. But Sammy didn’t like being called out one bit. It was basically Micheal being honest about the mob life and Sonny trying to glorify it.

This guy has literally been interviewed by everyone...for the past 2 plus years. Just a bit late on this one Kellz..🤣😂

very good podcast and i am a subscriber to sammy's channel also his stroies are so detailed and so very true

Megan sometimes try to take cheap shot based on biased opinion on someone

44:57-46:06 Now, as a military veteran, and although I have never been to war, I can say her statement is entirely candyass modern-day stupidity. I have heard of stories where the nation's heroes, and I'm talking about armed forces, have had to kill children for various reasons. Killing is never good, so people need to respect their nation's military and law enforcement. However, killing is essential under certain circumstances to uphold liberty, freedom of life, and the right to live. Looking back at Vietnam when the U.S. troops were called baby killers makes me think of how novice a society can be regarding life in general. Obviously, Sammy was not doing his work for the military. He was doing it for what he deemed a righteous cause. Young men, I'm going to exclude women, we have a duty in life, and we find it in many things. Sammy just so happened to find his in Cosa Nostra. Sammy believed it to be his path, as many soldiers, law enforcement, firefighters, and even college students believed in their path. That's life, whether we agree with it or not. Now, look at Sammy. He is doing good and doesn't relive those bad times. We all made terrible decisions, but I think there is a good heart at the end of 90% of what Sammy has been involved with. So to question and be so judgmental? Take a look at your own life and compare it to the society you live in and you will see the flaws in your own life. I would recommend shutting up and being the best person you can be. Taking the high horse isn't always easy, but its necessary most times.

Interview Michael Franzese. He’s another fabulous ex mafia boss. He’s very interesting

Ill be perfectly honest, If I have a chance to meet anyone on the face of this earth, It will be Sammy The Bull. He is a no nonsense guy, He has a Heart, and he is a Natural tough guy. He is also a true family man. He tells it like it is. He doesn't have to watch what he says about anything to cover his tracks of past comments or stories that he tells. A REAL STAND UP GUY. You are the man sammy. DO THIS COUNTRY A HUGE FAVOR AND RUN FOR PRESIDENT. 👍

This is so sad. There are not many ways to God, only one Way, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Jesus Christ. “This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2:3-5‬ ‭ESV‬‬ I hope “Sammy” comes to know the Truth.

Can't wait to hear Sammy's pod about this interview. Sammy: The interviewer was fken gorgeous. Probably the most gorgeous broad I've ever seen.

RU-vid is great. Can you imagine the corporate media doing this?

I used to hate what Sammy did!! To be clear not hate Sammy but what he did !! BUT AFTER listening to my grandfather and uncle and now Sammy himself I am 100% on his side and agree with him and tell EVERYBODY I KNOW AND WORK WITH THAT !! And I HOPE SAMMY GETS TO READ THIS HES A LONG TIME FRIEND OF MY UNCLES AND ALL HE NEEDS TO HEAR IS IM FROM FRANKLIN SQUARE NY!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹 God Bless !!

Megyn, this was a fascinating interview! You should really try to get Michael franzeze on. He’s another really interesting former mob guy who actually owns what he did.

This is the best MKS I've viewed. Such deep insights. Megyn's problem of understanding Gravano is a microcosm of America trying to put Russia and China into its perspective. There are things that you better not change.

Sammy confirms Sinatra’s mob “association” and also James Caan’s. Interesting.

34:20 Japan was defeated and had been pushed all the way to her mainland. Japan, an island, was surrounded like she was before the war. She has no oil and lacked the resources to regroup and continue. Also, Germany and Italy had been defeated. The USA therefore could have negotiated a surrender if we had not backed ourselves into a corner and destroyed our options by demanding an unconditional surrender. Next, Japan did not surrender because we bombed her. She surrendered when Russia declared war and launched an invasion. That fact is intentionally minimized or excluded from US history especially if you are cold war age like Megyn Kelly, Sammy or myself. Russia and Japan fought a war within memory of those alive in 1945 so Japan rushed to surrender rather than face brutality. American Exceptionalism is something we were taught, but it's full of contorted, distorted, fabricated and manufactured points of view that lack truth in many cases.

That was awesome , try to get Micheal Franzese on would love to see that . He's a Christian so there would be a little lighter side of conversation .. Great Content

Great show! Love the true crime episodes

Great interview megyn! Being Sicilian and from NY we had ties to various families back then! Fascinating! You killed it again! Mark from Long Island 😎

Megyn...I love the way you do your job...You are top notch... I appreciate and admire you...

I wonder if one day there will be college classes in the history of the Five Families and organized crime in the U.S. - if there are not already - and Sammy’s incredibly detailed podcast will be a primary source.

The fact he’s talking about he was Wiccan in jail. He’s most certainly demonically oppressed. Explains alot
