Michael Franzese Unfiltered: The Truth About JFK, Hoffa & "That Life"

[@HummingbirdEighty8]

I'm not impressed with Mr. Quintana. He couldn't pronounce Michael's last name correctly. And the comment, "I don't know if I want to have lunch with a mob guy" was inappropriate, in my opinion. 🕊

Excellent video Mike. The part about respect needs too be watched by a lot of young people. I am only 37, but in my home growing up, we were tought too always be respectful too people always, especially elderly people. Some people don't deserve respect, because they have none at all.

And I get the impression too that it does not even come directly from him anyway and he is just rehashing what others have said when they put it out.

Michael is a G from Long Island,,i grew up around quite a few people and places that he did. Im sure if we spoke we could talk about many more things than this guy could Imagine. He is def not Worthy of Mikes time. He does not know how far back and how much shit he has realy gone through in at leas the last 30 years.And then the many more from beyond that i was jus too young to know or even realize who the people were on Long Island and just how Connected ALL the Bussiness owners and Independant Long island Businesses from making Granite Products to Food Trucks all the Construction all had some way some how have Somebody involved who played golf with the Gangsters and did ALL kinds of dealings with Anybody who was worth dealing with. Once you left the Hamptons,,Lake Ronkonkoma and Smithtown and St. James were frequent haunts by all the Mobsters who Lived there and raises there families. The further into Nassau County you got the More entrenched it became. Especialy on Sunrise Highway Route 27 where every Diner and every Pizza joint and every Nice Resturaunt have SOME kind of Dealings with Cosa Nostra every single day. Its jus the way it was.And we are talking thousands and thousands of places from mid Suffolk to Western Nassau and North Shore Long Island. You kind of had to grow up there and be a person who "Got Around" to truly appreciatte and understand the scale of it.I was an Electrician on Smart Homes for 18 years on Long Island and i worked more Mobster affiliated places that you can Imagine when you know and work for High End Realtors and Stockbrokers and all walks of life.I live in Atlanta 4 years now. It has more freedom,,only does not have the Soul,,Code of Conduct among people who jus know how to move in this life,,and i just dont have the Tenticles here that i had growing up on Long Island. A lot of my friends have moved South over the years,,i jus miss things about Long Island that jus cannot even be Comprehended here or respected. They dont have the same respect for their own word as people did on Long Island. You were held to the last letter of your Word in NY where here people tend to be more,,i hate to say it,,but soft and flakey not Your Word is your Bond. Its a little different. And of COURSE Donald Trump had to deal with Cosa Nostra. My Aunt was one of his High Roller Concierges for his Casino in Atlantic City in the early 80's. I have been told many many behind the scenes stories by her and my Mom talking while i was a kid. Cosa Nostra was Literaly involved in some way,,some way more directly than others in Every Facet of Bussiness and life on Long Island in the Entraprenaurel and with the Movers and Shakers in life there.

[@Seemsayin]

The truth about Hoffa, JFK? That was nothing more than conjecture. The title to this video says, "The Truth". Where's the truth?

Its confusing when mike talks about the names because the sicilian mafia is called Cosa Nostra and the american was started by Sicilian Cosa Nostra members. If you watch any Italian mafia documentaries the organisation is called Cosa Nostra. The gambinos have a whole faction 'Cherry hill' who are directly connected to Sicily. The bonanos or Massino family went back to their roots by doing things old school like the sicilians to try to keep out of trouble. ------so there is massive cross over.

Sadly this interviewer was weak. This is one of the only instances I can recall seeing Michael become very uncomfortable. He was not enjoying his son and business being mentioned......his jaw was locked and response short and sharp. This is a problem when you interact with civilians or folks not tied to criminal life. You aren't familiar with nuances and how criminals conduct themselves. I straightened out my act in 2012. I now live in relative solitude on a small permaculture farm with my family. I'm very protective and private in regard to my family, home and my past life. When interviewing a predator one must be matched. The only other option is to have a level of intelligence that brings them to respect you. Michael is a REAL criminal operating at the highest level. Make no mistake the hustle and monster still exists just under the surface. He chooses to live a different life for others.......

Your friend John Gotti and his brothers and Angelo quack quack was a major heroin dealers. Not only did Sammy say it and even if you call him a liar. A bunch of the Gambino guys were locked up on drug charges, after Castellano was dead. Castellano didn’t condone drugs but his greedy hands were out regardless of where the $$$ came from. I hardly think he was dumb. He just didn’t want them to get caught. I also heard Chin was in the heroin.business. Our uncle who was a soldier in the Luchese family went to Atlanta for 17 yrs for selling heroin along w other members in his crew. He went wayyyyyy back to approximately 1930. He cdnt even cross the state line to attend the funeral services for my grandpa. He was never killed for his drug charges, more than once nor was he exiled or in hiding . I wrote to him for years in the Atlanta federal prison for many years. So it is hard to believe there was no involvement in drugs.
