Michael Franzese on Sammy the Bull Threats, Accused of 5 Murders, Mafia Hit on Him (Full Interview)

Michael Franzese came through for yet another VladTV interview, and he started off speaking about his new book, “Mafia Democracy: How Our Republic Become a Mob Racket,” where he compares how the government is a better-run version of the mob. Michael also spoke about being portrayed in “Goodfellas” and knowing the real guy who Ray Liotta played in the movie, who was put into witness protection. This led to a discussion about Alpo Martinez leaving witness protection to come back to Harlem, where he was ultimately killed. During the conversation, Michael also spoke about Sammy The Bull doing a VladTV interview, which led to Michael speaking about his relationship with Sammy. To hear more, including Michael speaking about the YSL RICO case, hit the full interview above.

@@chuckemeade the wealthiest people on earth are the ones running the show, they are the real bosses.

Michael has solid points. I've lived in Las Vegas off and on since 2008 and let me tell you that everyone here says there is nothing more corrupt than the government as they have their hands in all of our pockets. We used to be able to keep our tips but now we are legally required to give a portion of our hard earned TIPS (which should belong to us) to the government on top of the money we already have to pay them. Every single casino veteran and Las Vegas local I've ever spoken to who were around when the mob ran Vegas said that back then the city was golden, everyone had more money, everyone got to keep their tips, everyone was taken care of until the government stepped in and now the government is nickel and diming everyone which the mob did not do. I hear them say that the only difference is the government is legally allowed to steal from you.

Michael Franzese is a respectable guy with an absolutely fascinating and even inspiring story. My only reservation about him is the extent to which he seems to get nostalgic about "the life." He readily admits that Mafia life is corrupt, evil and exceptionally dangerous; and he carefully, strenuously, advises anybody against entering into it. But he also acts like he kind of misses it. He clearly has respect for other family members, including of course his own father, a prominent member of the of the Colombo Family. I don't doubt that many of these men had admirable character traits, such as loyalty to their biological families, respect for each other, and a certain dignity in how they conducted themselves. But, at the end of the day, they were still criminals, men who made their livings in illegitimate ways that frequently ended in brutal death. Not a lot to respect.

How do you know he’s telling the truth?

[@MrGarymuldoon]

He like all ex mob guys who ratted on KZbin lies as well. He’s certainly the most honest of those I feel but definitely downplays his cooperation if you’ve looked at his trial at all

“You made me kill you” The ultimate rationalization.

[@Cosmic_Code]

"I don't want to hurt you, I just want to kill you" - "One is going to make themselves complicit in their own death, Unfortunate for them but fortunate for me" - "One is going to abandon making themselves a victim"

[@alexandrostheodorou8387]

If you refuse the murder contract, they will kill you. So you both die. That’s why Sammy says that.

@@Cosmic_Code After I was promoted to a supervisory position over me own crew of people, some of them would try that "You're really gonna write me up for coming back late from lunch a couple of times -I thought we were friends man !!' I would reply with, yeah, thats right and if you are truly my 'friend' you wouldn't put me in the position of having to write you up like this, you were taking advantage of our friendship". You could usually hear a pin drop after one of these session and they would just get up and leave the office with their heads down knowing damn well that I was right. Wish I could remember the person who taught me this but I've forgotten now. It was the PERFECT (and correct) way to reply to that accusation when confronted like that !!

Fantastic interview..Thank you Vlad & Michael! God Bless you guys!

[@TJ347]

I like how casually Michael Franzese navigates being asked long-winded questions involving modern rappers no one over 35 has ever heard of... As well as being asked the same damned questions Vlad has asked in previous interviews.

[@squirtermcguirter1502]

You can see his eyes glazing over

[@Tarantulisimo]

Vlad comes from the music world, so he's always trying to draw parallels between some of the more gangsta episodes in hip-hop & the world of organized crime -- sometimes annoying, but always interesting. And Michael has interviewed Ice-T on his own channel

Michael, you're an inspiration to me. You overcame such huge obsticles in your life and come out on top. Me, I'm 62 got in a lot of trouble mostly hurting myself. But you realize time is short, I lived fairly clean for the last 40 yrs and am truly afraid of being homeless or starving, I'm not a whiner but I worked myself into my present condition. I guess a truly wealthy man would have a nice family and be happy, you are truly a lucky man. I guess I O'D' on our gov't everyday, happiness and health are 2 greatest assets you can have, you're very lucky.

Every time Vlad asks what the mob generally does (much less tells his rapper stories), he loses an opportunity. The questions should always be about what Michael specifically did. That Michael is protective, elusive, and smooth should be a spur to sharper questioning.
