Michael is a survivor that’s amazing how lucky he is just to be alive today. Whatever happened in his life before he deserves credit for coming out and becoming a better human being. There are politicians out there that have done way way more harm than Michael and we keep electing them over and over again.

I agree. I lost complete respect for the interviewer after seeing this interview. As a brit, I am feel ashamed that a british interviewer would invite or have a guest on only to try to look at him with such disdain and talk to him so disrespectfully and in a way that seems like he is trying to say to the guest i dont believe a word you say and im going to try to trip you up. Its embarrassing to watch. So i think i will close the viewing and watch Michaels interviews elsewhere. Such a shame, as the guest has lived a fascinating and challenging life, none of us should judge him at the age of 70 and who have turned their life around to do good! Hats off to Michael, from a child he had a lot to grow and realise. Far more than any of us will ever know or are too blessed to need to go through. 🌸🌸
@michaelwesterland18532 ай бұрын
The interviewer breaks the flow by jumping in with (often) irrelevant comments and questions that could easily be asked at other times. Another gripe i have is, while Mr. Franzese is speaking in well-thought-out, well-formed sentences and is being incredibly coherent and informative, whenever the interviewer breaks in he only blurts out two or three words most of the time. I think that's rude.

How many Mafia members get away with what this man has let alone make it to his age intact? Honestly, can we be honest? Really? Many of these people are diversity equity and include hires which means they are given employment for something other than their skills. This interview is not and exception. I am tired of seeing qualified people pushed aside because of their race replaced by people as a token to professional jobs. These people have no merit and their presence is an insult to other professional people of color who are there legitimately. This interviewer has no merit. Please get rid of him. Thank you.
