Start a new life, what are you talking about? You don't think he stashed away millions of dollars that he stole? How is this motivational? The made stole, killed and cheated his way to success. It is quite scary how you people are romanticizing mobsters this way. And even now he keeps making money off of his horrible actions in the past, and what? You think he became a better person? It is obvious that he is set for life, he does not need that life anymore.

[@RoughEndDrag]

@@TheTwitchybird I feel like that's just about as assumptive as you can get. He's honest about his actions and he's honest about the fact that he's had a hard time not going back. If you can show me substantial evidence that he's still a bad person, I'll agree. But as far as I can tell, he made changes to his life for the better. Especially in a position that's terrifying to leave. The choices he made weren't easy. So I have a hard time thinking he did it knowing that he wasn't leaving that life behind.

[@TheTwitchybird]

@@RoughEndDrag Of course he is being honest about his actions, they're public knowledge. You haven't noticed how he's extremely dodgy in every single interview kind of thing that he does when it comes to things that aren't public knowledge? Why wouldn't he be honest about things he's served time for? lol. He's not a 'bad' person now simply because he doesn't need to be. He has everything he wants and needs now so why would he go back to living that life now that he's out?

[@RoughEndDrag]

@@TheTwitchybird he didn't need to be a better person either. Look at everyone else who stayed in the field. Either way, virtually no one is supporting his crime. I'm certainly not supporting his past. I'm supporting the idea of growth and change. As I said, if he hasn't changed, if he's still participating in crime, if he's still an enemy to society: I agree with you.

No he is saved. I heard his testimony at Liberty U. He has a solid prison ministry. He was trying to live solid, got parole violated by Feds just as the big Colombo Family war was starting so he is kept from it. THEN another mobster Henry Hill run's into him in prison, Henry talks, so to protect mike he is put in hole. Third event he is depressed, a Christian Corrections officer checks on him,. Mike chases him away, within 2 min, that CO drops a NKJ Bible through the door slot. Bing Bang Boom. His wife is a Born Again woman, her entire family is. He is by his own admission blessed beyond anything he could ever imagine. He has a rare opportunity among former Fed Inmates, he can witness in Federal Prisons. To Organized Inmates. I know folks in the sewer of New York and on L.I. word on street is Mike is legit Man of God. So both the good guys and verry bad guys both say his conversion is legit. And he despite nut job Sammy says he never ratted, put nobody away. As a Christian and it is resurrection day tomorrow, I ask you, do you know Jesus? Being as BOTH the bible and grounded history indicate we are living it the end of days.

Seeing Michael arguing with Sammy the Bull shows you the two polar opposites of that life.

Michael is charming, charismatic yet very unassuming, incredibly intelligent and has morals who would only hurt someone if it was his last option, and it’s what he DOESNT say that impresses or scares you. Fascinating to see two guys from that world who are completely different. Michael’s a fascinating man. Kinda guy it would be a pleasure to have a drink with. Great content.

Are you and I good enough to meet God’s standard of righteousness required? Do we qualify for heaven? He shows us whether or not we do. Would you consider yourself to be a good person? How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, no matter how small, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God's name in vain/blasphemed, even ‘OMG’? That’s taking the name of the God who gave you life and using it in the place of a cuss word - would you do that with your mother’s name? Have you ever dishonoured your parents? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? Most people probably have broken all 5 of these commandments. I myself have. I’m not judging you but if you have done these things then you’re a lying, thieving, blasphemous, rebellious adulterer-at-heart by your own admission. That's only 5 of the 10 commandments. God is fully just so he must and will punish every and all sin (which is departure from/rebellion towards God and the conscience) when he judges us. He cannot simply cancel our debt and let us go, or else he would be unjust. If you went into the courtroom and said: ‘Yes Judge, I’ve done these things but I also give money to the Red Cross and volunteer at an old-age home. I try my best to love people’ the judge is not going to take that into consideration. You’ve broken the law; the good you’ve done won’t help at all on the day of judgement. If he judges you by the moral law will you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is Hell. Doesn’t that concern you? But, fortunately, that is not God’s will. He is so loving and merciful, he made a way for you to be forgiven. The Son of God came down as a man, Jesus Christ, and lived a perfect, sinless life, so was the perfect sacrifice. He excruciatingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the FULL debt we owe because of sin; justice is fully done. You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid the fine in his life's blood, being resurrected again 3 days later. That’s why he said “It is finished” on the cross - in other words the debt has been paid. God has the payment ready to go for you. What you need to do is repent (recognising you are a sinner deserving God's punishment, turn to Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. Our works can do nothing as by the standard of God’s moral law we fail, but faith in him is enough to save us from all sin - past, present and future! Then though you have grievously offended God, he will forgive you and you will inherit eternal life being reborn in the Holy Spirit when you put your trust in the Lord and saviour. Too, you enter a covenant relationship with God - sonship, and truly I tell you your life will change in his presence. So repent and trust (i.e. Biblical faith), receive the free gift of grace. He redeemed me. God, The King of The Universe, came down as a man. He lived the first 30 years of his life as a poor carpenter then spent the next 3 preaching, healing and saving souls - all the while being persecuted, insulted and hated by his own people - and took the punishment to save our lives. It’s the most amazing love that anyone ever displayed. Christianity’s not just a religion. It's a pure, sweet relationship with God. Because of Jesus, I am now a son of God. He is my dad, and you can be his child too. God loves you. Will you let him come?

[@jonnboimuhfucka]

@@AnishinaabeWaterProtector yeah...he looks NOTHING like him... I mean compared to Jr... (son who ratted him out) who is a spitting image of Sonny... and the daughter looks like him too. Michael even said in a recent interview that his real father died some time back. Just my opinion ...I kno it sucks when u find out your family lineage isnt what u were told ... happened to me...although probably way worse in that life where ur lineage stands for something.

[@sillyrockstar1984]

He looks like he knows how to treat a lady. Like he’s good with the kisses down under

Your enemy sees you shaking, they don't stand down. They attack. Never give your enemy an ammo.

He's got that mob mentality instilled for sure.

[@skatatataatje]

I love how carefull the interviewer is around this guy. I get it, but it's funny.

[@jennboyd5671]

He confirms everything we thought without saying anything. Powerful and intelligent. And doesn’t look a day over 50.

[@klizzard5166]

he looks like 40 something. i have seen people in their 20s and 30s looking older and less intelligent. not to say they are dumb but Michael is intelligent enough to know what he did working for the Mob was wrong. look up mafia states of america

yeah probably a bit different than interviewing Appalachian folk

[@deckearns]

Check him out interviewing the Mafia hitman, he also stutters during that interview, and for good reason

[@seanmcdevitt9061]

He’s like ozzy tbh

[@lawrencemakoare-z7p]

I would seriously watch a movie with this guy, he's so fascinating and articulate.

[@tekubus]

What movie would you like to watch with him? 'Madia eats Thanksgiving"?

[@yourlocalbossman1359]

There's a movie based on his life, it's called God The Father. Good movie

[@Scorpio7500]

He's in Goodfellas lol

[@MarshallLore]

@@JetSkiSuper7 if you can watch an interview with the actual guy then why cant you watch a movie about him

[@BrandiXo]

I looked his name up amd Good Fellas is about him.

Interviewer @ drugaddicts: we are gonna start with your childhood. Interviewer @ mob boss: where should we start? you childhood? maybe? LMAO

His reply was hilarious, like he knew he was scared to ask him anything that might offend him. :D "Yeah sure lets talk about my childhood."

[@danschmehl7824]

Dude cleans things stories up, but Colombo crime family ain't no joke. The fact he's still alive and not in prison says a lot about his cunning.

[@sayed6186]

He snitched. Which is why he isnt in prison right now

[@danschmehl7824]

@das wright Well he isn't dead or in prison and obviously he's done some heinous shit. That's a sign of someone who knows what moves to make and when to make them -> cunning. Those moves include snitching (and all the safeguards and plans that would go with that).

[@ddub5074]

Goat he didn’t snitch. If you can prove it with paperwork then prove it. If he snitched he wouldn’t be walking around they way he does. He did his time. Kept his mouth shut and didn’t bring anyone down with him. That’s why he’s out living life.

[@sayed6186]

@@ddub5074 are you a kid or something? He was part of the mafia therefore he shouldn't even be saying a single thing about his associates including their names or businesses. Which is what he does all over KZbin and the internet. That's snitching

[@ddub5074]

Again proof? The mobsters he does mention are dead. And him talking about himself isn’t snitching. Not sure why people think it’s ok to throw dirty on someone’s name without any proof. Again he left without getting anyone locked up. I’m not sure why you don’t understand that. Everything isn’t a goodfellas movie guy. He beat 5 indictments I’m sure they didn’t wanna chance him beating another and offered a decent deal.

Besides the false sabt(Sunday),and teh wide spread of spiritism(yog, karma, ouiaj bord, reiki,hipnosis), last final decie wil be ,atht satn himslef wil come as Hrist, sayinghe changed teh day of rest! And this decie wil be poerful for al those who dont read teh Bible for themseles,as it wil be flowed by great miracles and healings,everywere he wil apear! But teh Bible dosnt live su without wraning to this and cleaerly says aht when Jesius coems " All eyes wil see Him" ,so everyone on earth, wilse satans fake only here and there! -read Mathew chaoter 24! Another direct warning to teh spirit f the anthirst is in 2 Joan 7" anyone who says atht Jesus doenst coem in flesh/body, is teh spirit of the anthirst"! And i would sugest you get abook caled " The great cintroversy" by Ellen White, is ana mazing book, wich depicts the war betwen good and evil,from Lucifers afl til teh very end,and in the last few chapters, is everything about what we live, and whats toc eom, pure undiluted truth, with valiuble insights!

This is my favorite interview so far! He's fascinating and the way he carries himself. He says a lot with just a look or body language. True presence right here.
