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.

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.

[@lowellpeterson7486]

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.

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

[@jeremywentworth1833]

This is the very man who got me interested in everything mafia related he's been on Tour and appeared less than 10 miles from were I live when he appeared in Bradford West Yorkshire England. He's definitely a gentleman .

Thank you, Vlad, for asking the tough questions!!!

The look on Michael's face when he talks about all these hip hop cases...like "I don't really want to talk about this s*** I don't care".... Vlad started to lose me when he started talking about this s***....🤣🤣🤣

Even though I knew his age and I’m subscribed to his channel. I still think it’s amazing that he’s over 70. He looks like he’s in his 50-60s.

What is the name of the movie about SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS ON NETFLIX WHERE JUDGES WERE PAIS OFF ? ANYONE KNOW THE NAME ?

[@aleksandarhaber]

Amazing how smart these guys are... Actually, they are very capable and have great organizational skills. The issue is that their skills are not used for the benefit of all society.

I agree with you Michael 100%! Most people are SO naive gullible and clueless about the real workings of the world. God Bless sir.

[@davidharrison7030]

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.

[@damianstachelski775]

Michael has a great voice. I could listen to him talk about anything.

[@Regularguy1798]

Well done & very professional...

[@jacksmith5692]

He makes a good point, case in point was Al Capone. They finally got him on tax evasion and he only got 11 years. He earned a medical early release due to Neurosyphilis and died of natural causes at age 48. In the 80's a Capone or a Gambino as an example would of been hit with a RICO charge and probably been put away for life.

[@thumper84]

as he should have been

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.

At 14:42, Michael mentions the movie "My Blue Heaven" with Steve Martin. "My Blue Heaven" was actually based on Henry Hill's time under the Witness Protection Program. Steve Martin's character was based on Henry Hill and Rick Moranis's character was based on former FBI Agent Edward McDonald. It was written by Nora Ephron, who at that time was married to Nicholas Pileggi. According to Henry Hill, Nora was taking notes from his conversations with her husband while he was gathering information for his book "Wiseguy" which later turned into "Goodfellas".
