No disrespect to your grandfather but though it's a nice and widely held believe trope but in actuality in the real world it's completely false. Politicians aren't aliens from Mars that are completely detached from their surrounding environment, they come from and represent the society itself. The politicians are criminals precisely because the society is criminal. The politicians are corrupt precisely because the society is corrupt. It's easy to blame it on a visible public figure and it's convenient to exonerate ourselves as the source of the problem. Likewise it's easy to glorify the mob until you find yourself as a victim of their actions.

I was going to say organized crime but, politics is organized crime. On a different subject. My opinion is you more than earned the right to leave that life. Also from situations you have revealed. The mafia pushed you away once you were of no value to them. I am sure I am right because I have experienced the same thing in my life. Great show! Great content! Great advice! Great job!!! I have never forgotten when you talked about the Bible saying that when a man’s path is pleasing to God then even his enemies will leave him be. I know that is not quoted correctly.

I lived in New Haven, CT when the SDNY lawyers came up to try a gang case in New Haven that was literally practice for using the RICO statues on Cosa Nostra. The prosecutors wanted a dress rehearsal before the big show, so they did in it New Haven. The defense attorney, who was a well known guy and a great attorney, after the trial said something like, 'You could convict a can of Coke for murder with these laws because the Coke was in the wrong house.' The RICO statues have become a stand in for just what you say, 'We know that guy committed some crime, so we'll just convict him for the general state of being a criminal.'

Michael is a great story teller and am so happy signing up in site great family community there

Mr. Franzese can you talk about the interactions between the 5 families and the families outside of New York. I been listening to your videos for years now. No one really talks about the encounters and beefs and various sit downs between the families. I believe it would be a great episode and many people would tune in!

“The phone is a cop” man I love Sonny RIP he comes out with some nice words of wisdom

A very interesting and well delivered video. I find these stories so interesting 👍🙂

Great video. Great points you made in it.

I think Sonny Franzese is the absolute model of what people think of when they think mobster, he is undeniably Italian, looks very serious and not to be messed with, and dressed very well. Very intimidating guy.

​ @Snake I don't know if my phone is off cue, or if someone erased my message. I will say it one more time. Michael was a disgrace in the eyes of his father! Nobody is afraid of him, which is an important trait in the mob. Just keep that jabber of yours shut from now on, because you just don't get it!

The judge did also tell him (Persico) that he was one of the smartest people he has ever met....

Great piece to camera, heartfelt.

Really nice to hear someone explaining the problems within our criminal justice system. As someone who works within it every single day, how little people understand not only what the standards are, but how they are abused by the state, is disappointing.

When I was a kid, using a seat belt in a vehicle was optional. In my state: First, they passed a law saying it only applied to the driver and you couldn't be pulled over for it. You have to be pulled over for moving violation, and could issue a ticket if you were not wearing it at the time of a stop. Then, a few years later, the government decided they could pull the driver over if they saw them not wearing a seat belt. Later, the law was changed to include the passenger. Now, all occupants can be ticket for now wearing a seat belt. Do I think you shouldn't wear a seat belt? No, I think you definitely should, that's not the point here. The point is they slowly changed the legislation a little at a time and they expanded the powers, like Mike said here. My other complaint? The public is not at risk for you not wearing a seat belt. The insurance lobbyists that make donations to politicians are the ones who wanted this to happen, because it reduces their liability. They don't actually care whether you live die- that includes the government and the insurance companies- but they do care about their money.
