Meet the real Mel Weinberg

[@ashokkumarsharma3034]

There was a different kind of honesty and calmness with old interviews...

[@ZoranRadovanovDrums]

Bale nailed him, im seeing this afrer the movie...

[@ramsaybolton3728]

They have a sex scene? I havn't seen the movie yet.

[@imkitti1942]

He deserved an Oscar, most actors are cardboard cutouts on the screen, how he changed his appearance was inherent brilliance. Never heard of this but I was born in 1973.

[@maxjones5705]

As popular as the movie was, I’m surprised this video doesn’t have more views.

[@thegoouch]

The combover is legendary!

[@lonebikeroftheapocalypse9527]

He was a likeable guy. A con man isn't very good if he isn't "likeable".

[@rogerfournier3284]

On point!

[@ceciliacosta8148]

“Anything dishonest he wanted to do.” “He was a likeable guy!”

[@Jeanne90275]

Schmuck...the only hero in this tawdry episode was Larry Pressler (R-SD) who turned down the offer and reported the crime.

[@gaguy1967]

good midwest values

[@redfordreddington8834]

there's more than one hero in this story

[@geoff3103]

FBI agent Tony Amoroso must've been the Bradley Cooper character

[@mattgrey1373]

Really?

[@MrZZooh]

Most honest crook ever. I guess people were just more honest all around back then.

[@godemperorpepe]

That last bit. “They weren’t easy. We were just good.” Says all you need to know about how the FBI works.

[@LB__1]

"We'll set up a sting, Jerry, like ABSCAM. Like ABSCAM!"

[@humanforfreedom9583]

“Anything that was dishonest he wanted to do, he was terrific”

[@karljesaitis3656]

😂😂Lol 😂

[@TheDano1947]

Smells like entrapment to me, and this guy gets full immunity. Isn't our legal system just peachy.???

[@caveman726]

Is our legal system peachy? 🍑

[@user-dp3yb6qn5z]

"takes one to know one..." true😅

[@wblake1]

6:22 "He wuz actually de fiyst political payson that we've met."

[@davidnavarro4821]

Bronx accent ?

[@daveminion6209]

oh my, i had no idea American Hustle was a real story. wow!! truth - stranger than fiction.

[@mariobranco123]

60 minutes crew, plz upload also subtitles to youtube. Thx for keeping post videos.

[@pjincho]

A young DeNiro could’ve played this guy really well, I think. Very similar voice. He kinda sounds like Frank the Irishman from the Irishman.

[@juliajulie8500]

You're right!

[@educatehour]

They should've used the technology to make him younger I couldn't stop seeing Bale playing a character. De Niro would've made him more real and believable

[@peterlohnes1]

Don't glorify him too much, his first wife (Jennifer Lawrence character) killed herself when he divorced her, and some think the mob killed her. Not that "cool" of a guy.

[@zanemarte9877]

Marie was actually his 2nd wife. He was married to another woman before Marie for 18 years, had three children with a woman named Mary O'Connor before it ended in a divorce. Evelyn Knight (The person who Amy Adam's charcter is based on) was his third and final wife before ending their marriage through divorce after 16 years, and never re-married before he died from complications of his heart condition in 2018. He was definitely not "cool" having an affair with his mistress while he was married to Marie.

[@patf1288]

His honeypot fly quote is in the movie.

[@roterfuchs8201]

Even his hair is a scam

[@kelton53]

Underrated comment. 👍

[@patbateman9187]

2:07 "What are the politicians really like?" - "Well, look at the bartender behind you. That's my friend Dal, from Queens. My man."

[@GreatGooglieWooglie]

Christian Bale did a terrific job in in American Hustle - looks/ sounds just like this guy.

[@avatareyes1]

i didnt realize it was based on a true story!

[@MrJames-tw3so]

Hollywood couldn't write this if the whole paramount studios depended on it

[@redfordreddington8834]

fictional version of the actual story

[@ktcarl]

@@redfordreddington8834 The disclaimer at the beginning of the movie, "Some of this actually happened" instead of "Based On True Story". Very clever.

[@MooseheadStudios]

just watched american hustle pretty wild how this got to that

[@mikehunt9884]

I wonder who he was with in NY. He was a pretty big money earner, he had to kick money up to some made guy.

[@bruceradfordsorrywronghous534]

Awesome! thanks!

[@Sangria]

Careful! You're being hustled by this man's flimflam

[@patrickd5605]

@goddamn zordan, totally agree. if I were to just listen to this and not see it, I'd think it was Christian bale

[@MrJames-tw3so]

Man makes ya wanna get in some trouble.

[@josemondragon5311]

It’s always These bergs, and steins😮

[@ft7504]

He is Beelzebub!

[@roterfuchs8201]

The interviewer was trying to be all hard Tom Snyder then @ 8:47 he looks like a boy watching his favorite TV show

[@Krazy4Pink_Kerry]

I clicked on this video by mistake. I thought it Ed about Melvin weisburg not Mel Weinberg. But found this video interesting anyways.

[@malemesjager41]

Mel Weinberg....no stereotype going on here😅😂

[@FallCarrot]

thats truly amazing person

[@choonghuh]

god damn wow

[@phoenixmodellingphotography]

Interviewer could be Conor McGregor's dad

[@vitorino773]

the little dog defending his owners...how clear.

[@KnoX-oUt]

Look how we spend them now

[@SeanDiVsrco]

Light house for the blind and yes it just a game for children to have gun 🎉.

[@r.r.r9746]

[@meganweinberg2945]

He was Polish and Swiss... from the Bronx

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

He was a Jew

[@newone5198]

@@meganweinberg2945 that being Ashkenazi

[@sweaty_shooter7354]

No he's from the Bronx thats old skool city accent. Thats why he sounds like bobby deniro.

[@socialtraffichq5067]
