Which videos do you recommend?

My daughter was in children’s hospital in Dallas tx and the Angels came in and seen the kids and brought toys. It was amazing and I shook their hands and man the kids need that. I would thank them guys again.

This happened in the 60's. I was young and driving an old beater late one night and my car died but had enough momentum to coast into a gas station. I noticed a guy on a motorcycled at the pump in front of me...but I did not take notice of what he was wearing. Back then they had gas station attendants who would service your car on the spot....and my car was smoking indicating it needed attention. The station attendant was in the station (I could see him) but did NOT come out. I figured he was busy with something and would come out as soon as he was through and I had no choice but to wait since my car would not start. After a while, I noticed that the jacket on the man on the motorcycles said "Hell's Angels." Then I realized that was why the attendant did not come out. The Hell's Angels guy got off his bike and came back to my car and tapped on my window. I rolled it down a crack. He said, "I see your having trouble with your car." I said "Yes, it just died." He told me to wait until it cooled down and he would get it started. I did what he said. He pushed my car to the side and waited until the car cooled down. Then he filled the radiator, suggested that I get anti-freeze for it, and told me to try to start it. The car turned over and began to chug again. I thanked him profusely and offered to pay him. He smiled and refused the money and got me on my way. I know the Hell's Angels are tough guys...but they have their moments and I was glad when one of them was around!

Hubby and I don't have kids we rescue stray and abused animals and when one of our dogs crossed The Rainbow Bridge we received the kindest message from Mr. Barger and his wife! Gods speed to you both! Patricia Gambino Harrington

Great interview. Brings back memories of when Mr. Christie was released from TI. The officers were giving him a hard time bringing his personal belongings out and I was given a call and asked some questions about what he was capable of. He is a class act and although we never met face to face, I was happy to help out in a small way smoothing things out.

This was a great conversation and I can't wait for Part 2. It is so interesting to see the two organizations side by side! Thanks for this one Michael.

True story about a Hells Angels encounter... I'm British with Italian heritage on my father side, as a consequence I really got into the old classic Italian Scooters and the smart "mod" way of dressing. Back in the 90's when I was a teenager, a group of us teens were going to a scooter rally on the South Coast of England, which involved a long ride down there on our little scooters. Now vintage scooters don't go very fast, and whilst we were in the slow lane on a motorway (3 lane highway), a bunch of 15-20 guys on sports bikes, all dressed like Power Rangers thought it would be funny to come and take the p*ss out of our little scooters. They were riding inches away from us, giving us the bird & hand-job signals and generally being intimidating. Next thing, we heard the unmistakable thrum of Harleys and turned round to see 5 patched up Hells Angels ride up from behind and then in amongst the group of sports bikes. We thought we were gonna get our heads kicked in, but it was the opposite. The Hells Angels basically got the Power Rangers to f*ck off, then rode with us (at our speed) to where we exited the motorway and gave us the thumbs up as we waved them goodbye. The HA and us scooter kids looked the complete antithisis of each other, however, I like to think it was a shared love of our respective two wheel machines and the open road that made them to do what they did. They didn't have to take the time out to watch our backs and I've had immense respect to them to this very day.

Mongols motorcycle shop was 50 yards from where I worked at the time. They loved that scooter. They let me know if I had a problem with someone, let them know.

I think it's valuable when people like Michael point out the flaws with the justice system, and how there are people who feel the need to break the law in order to uphold the law, they feel the need to weaponize the system to go after people they don't like. It's quite revealing when even former members of the mafia can recognize the mafia-like enterprise that plagues our country today. But for us Christian men it should come as no surprise, you can't change human nature, but what you can do is accept responsibility over your own life, and model yourself after somebody who is free of these flaws.

Absolutely need more with this man, one of the best episodes yet!

Remember he came to the school i graduated from,on many occasions. He was at my graduation and he was randomly pictured in one of my graduation photos when i was walking off of the stage. At the time, I didn't know him,or cared to know him, he was just a random guy at the time (in my eyes). Graduated from NHS. We have a movie/documentary that made it to IMDb called "Love Goes Public". About 2 years after i graduated high school (i graduated in 2014), i realized how big he was and who he were. To this day i can't believe he came to the school i graduated from on (many) occasions. NHS was like a performing arts schools disguised as a public school. We had campus for life, we went on trips for free, every Friday, we got tickets to Auburn games for free. At the time,our principal son played for Auburn university with Cam Newton,then they went to the NFL. Our principal would always get her son to bring the Auburn stars to our school and set up basketball games with them. We also played grade vs grade basketball,6th vs 7th grader, 8th vs 9th you get the point.We had people that was currently during life in prison come up to the school and talk with us, (supervised of course). Looking back, I realized i didn't soak up everything I could've have and how special the school is that i graduated from. Michael told the entrie school so many stories in the auditorium. He had the entire school locked into his grasp.Idk if it was because the things he did, and witnessed but the teachers and students was in awe. To this day, i still don't know how my school got him to come speak and hang around with us, even came to our graduation in 2014. One day (a few years after highschool), i seen a video of him and my mouth dropped,i was thinking to myself (THAT'S THE GUY!!!!!)This video had over a million views i think. It was then, when i realized who he was, how big he was and couldn't believe he came to our school on many occasions and he came to our graduation in 2014. I regret not knowing who he was at the time and the "Mafia" was irrelevant to me, but I was slightly familiar with it. I know he's not the biggest known celebrity in the world, but it was an honor to meet him. He done terrible things he's not proud of , but he's a changed man and i wish i can meet him through as an adult eyes.So many questions I could've asked. Who he is on video is exactly the same man that came to our school about 10 years ago. He's a good guy, i wish i knew how my school pulled this off, he's a great pubic speaker and he's good with children and teenagers .I hope God keep on blessing this man .

I could listen to these guys all day.

Great back and forth, the government is going to watch both of you for life. Over 30 years ago they told me they was going to watch me for life and they have done what they say. The code of silence has been the reason why, i think. Your show has me hooked
