This guy has a great talent for talking /Oration

Nice not to have a interviewer keep asking banal questions, cool to hear this genius just flow!

Michael Franzese has the makings of a varsity athlete.

"You're not leaving until I've got everything I want out of you and when I have everything I want out of you, you're in trouble". Hearing him say that in this setting is scary enough. Imagine hearing it for real. He could probably look pretty menacing when he wanted too as well. Terrifying!!

And he is damn right,stay away from street loans

Best earner there was in the 80's. Brought in $3 million a week for the Colombos.

This is a guy that completely turned his life around and a devoted Christian. I saw one of his services live and he is an outstanding motivational speaker. All he wants is to have people learn from his past mistakes and be the best that they can be.

Michael franzese looking like Dorian from the mask when he put the mask on without the green make-up

He spoke at my church today. Very inspiring.

@ Michael franzese.. after realizing the life that you have lived I applaud you sir !! . your advice is Rock Solid and I am somehow envious of you and your realization of the truth... God bless you.

I really like listening to Mr. Franzese....

Priceless insights into sociopath's modus operandi. They hook you up with charm and gifts, and once they get you, it's gone. Youre days as free man are over. They should show it in schools.

God bless this guy he made it out alive.All the other guys that got made the night he got made are dead.

great speaker--glad he talks about the dangers of criminal life

Michael franzese was a true stand up guy. Made the colombo family millions. Biggest earner in my opinion. His old man Sonny is the last of the True wiseguys.

Out of all the life story testimonies, speeches, interviews and video clips that I have watched for some reason I just couldn't picture Michael being a "bad" guy. Then I watched this video clip. From 3:18 on sent chills down my spine. Scarry absolutely, LETHAL no doubt!

3:17 - 6:05 I almost felt like we´re having this convrsation for real. Hats off, he knows his shit. Very powerful 3 minutes.

I can really respect someone who is this honest about past behaviours. Whether actually his or is standing in for someone else. Either way.. that kind of honesty I seriously respect. This is where it annoyed me because yeah people have pasts.. but people don't have to continue within old behaviours. I like the straight forward, no bullshit approach. It's just down the line. It also is what keeps me believing that people can change if they really want to and I for one would not be ashamed of a man like this. It's also very attractive to be that honest. So yeah a man who has a past or the potential to be bad but chooses to live honestly.. it reminds me me of the positive things about my own dad. Why I respected and loved him so deeply was that he wasn't perfect didn't pretend to be and was open and honest with us kids about who he was and what he used to be like.

Nice message for the youngsters who want to make easy money....

Micheal Franzese orgins are so cool and informing!

Well Done & Very Professional ...!

It's like any addiction. You don't stop until 2 key things happen, 1.) you know you have a major life problem and 2.) you've hit bottom.

He still has that gangster in him.....U can see it when hes talking about gettin his hooks into an athlete and not letting him go until he gets wat he wants.....

You're an amazing man Michael

No one gon mention how fucking good this man looks? Got hella class bro

His Father is the oldest person in Federal Prison he's 99 years old.

You are so right, have to stop

In the song Smugglers Blues there's a line.......the lure of easy money has a very strong appeal......

such an interesting guy--fascinating person

He's turned into quite the man

Smart dude

i say amen too that!

So so so so much respect for this man's FATHER .... Unfortunately the same cannot be said about him. Once his 102 year old father finally does pass away I'm sorry to say this but Michael won't be with us for much longer after that... No doubt about it he is on a running clock out of pure respect for his father, an absolute stand up guy that he should've learned from.

i thought this was marty funkhouser for a second

3:40 proof this guy can star in his own movie

you can actually hear that he was a made member at one time

it will be interesting to see how michael does after his father has gone, everyone talks about michael making it out, but everyone knows there's only 1 way out of this.

i would not want to owe the old michael

Mikey was a real gem to the mob, and the real deal, i believe every word he says, just listen to the way he talks, he sounds very geniune,

All young people should watch this video.

Salvatore Lucania must be looking down on all this with great pride.

I have been watching these interviews for a long time now On Mr. Franzese, I am in awe at how smart he is, Very calm and precise with his words, And at the same time teaching young people the dangers of life. I am convinced he was in fact sent to us from God. I am experienced in the word of God and there were a couple of prophets that stopped there past questionable way of life and served God and joined Jesus in his preaching works. Could we have another prophet here? Can we refer to Michael Franzese as Pastor Franzese?

4:00 "Plant the seed".

And this how athletes end up "found dead " in hotel room, home etc....

He is very good at talking he should start a youtube channel

dont gamble dont drink dont do drugs ...did u get the massege ?

This man is so Smart

Great speaker I could on repeat fall asleep

He’s eyes say it all !

Very smart man.

Pauly Walnuts skated by the skin on his nuts back when the Columbos was going at it.

This came out on my 18th birthday

Mike actually gets better looking the more he ages

It's great that he turned his life around, but you can tell that even to this day, he misses "the life" :-). If I were in his shoes, I would too considering how successful he was! Not saying he would go back to it of course, just that he had a great "career" in La cosa nostra.

Gambling is depends on the personality, there are 3 types of personality to decide if you are mentally pass for gambling: 1. Emotionally stable and discipline: these people have their budget or bankroll and if they lost their bankroll set for a day, they have the discipline to walk away and come back some other time. They might even laugh at it and still enjoy some dinner 2. Borderline compulsive: if these people have a bad run, they gonna keep playing until they broke or lost significantly enough to damage their financial situation in short term. However these people will calm down the next day and won't come back seek some action. 3. Compulsive gambler: these type of people that we heard everyday from parent, motivator, Michael Franzese etc. They sold their soul to gamble, don't know how to quit when they are ahead, never stop playing when they're broke. These people have an addiction to gamble everyday and will borrow some money from loanshark or anybody to feed their addiction cause they can't stop and need some action. Go ahead and gambler freely if you are a discipline gambler. Be careful if you are borderline, try not to bring credit card in casino and don't try online! and finally you shouldn't be near any kind of gamble if you are compulsive type, if you ever loan money for gambling then you are sure the compulsive type

Smartest member of cosa nostra there ever was. Got off almost free (I think he did 8 years or something) and you know he's still got money somewhere, substantial money. You don't make billions of dollars by fucking over the government and not know how to hide it. I bet he's still got a minimum of 10 mil hidden somewhere. His house is fucking massive. Plus all the revenue he generates through his motivational speaking. I do believe he's sincere in that speaking, but I don't for a second believe that he doesn't have any money from his mob days left over.

Always keep your mouth shut, and never ,rat on your friends ....

His self-generated publicity is a hit deterrent... The more times hes on TV. Speaking at schools. Preaching at churches, the less the families will want to take him out... ALSO... Most of the information he shares is public knowledge... The people who were operating around his time are dead or in jail... There’s no real incentive to wack him, and hes hedged the survival odds in his favor by staying in front of the camera...

Once you sell your soul do you get it back?

This guy is the real deal and its real talk....

I'm talking about from the New York guys Philly is small time

Who is Colombo's saint?

This is why in Islam ☪️ they said don’t ever gamble, you heard it from a prominent underworld figure who was a insider here so it is true

Watch my short film on a problem gambler - "I QUIT" gAMBLING ADDICTION DEPRESSION FRUSTRATION

I'm new to all this Mafia stuff I'm from the uk,this guy seems likeable ! How bad was he ? Has he killed anyone ?

what does cover the spread mean? ?

college football season is worth about 8 billion, get a piece of that and you could be rich

No gangsta! A wall street mobster.

@michael franzese

Hey uhh tell that guy I wanna see em.

Snitches get Stitches. .. lol that's putting it nicely for this guy at least ....

today, even BOSS are snitching!!!!!!!!!!! fucking CRAZY!!!!!!!

my dad and his brother are made guys in the colombo family of was born and raised in bensonhurst brooklyn my family live all over brooklyn red hook ,carol Street etc the neighbourhoods ain't like it was. we moved to staten island a few years ago now. but I'll tell you something the five families still have a strong presence in nyc they are deeply embedded in unions, construction a lot more white colour crimes these days. my father got a 17 year jail sentence in the 90s spent a lot of his life in and out of jail. I know a lot of the Colombo guys they are all good earners which is all the mob care about

Micheal is only alive because he accepted christ into his life as his saviour all Glory to God

for a few grand, lots of people will do almost anything

poker is gambling? Nah.

Well he's out and he's 100 years old n Michael convinced him to finally discus his life in the mob n his case he was framed of its gonna be a 6 episode series its Comming out this year

I don't agree with everything Michael did but, I think he is smart enough to know that eternity in hell is a hell of a lot longer than maybe 85 years if a lifetime which is a blink of an eye. To burn for all ETERNITY scares the piss out of me. Think about it. ETERNITY!!!!!! I thank my God for the little I have right this very minute cause I know I will have an abundance of peace and love in heaven for all ETERNITY. Thanks to God and only a God of my understanding.😊😍🙄

Psalm 19:12-13 SAY THE MIRACLE Repentance PRAYER daily and it will change your life! Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you now and humbly ask for your forgiveness. LORD, I confess that I'm a sinner and I've broken your Holy Law. I realize that the penalty for sin is death. I believe that JESUS CHRIST suffered and died on the Cross to take the punishment for ALL of my sins. I believe JESUS rose from the dead and I accept Him as my personal Savior. From this moment forward I give you my heart and trust you to be the LORD of my life. Please forgive ALL of my sins and send your Spirit to help me do your will. I Love You, Lord Jesus. I Praise You, Jesus. I Thank You, Jesus. I shall follow you every day of my life. I thank you for your great love and accept your gift of eternal life, and I pray these things in JESUS name, Amen . Say this prayer faithfully, no matter what you feel, when you come to the point where you sincerely mean each word, with all your heart, something good spiritually will happen to you. You will experience Jesus, and HE will change your whole life in a very special way. You will see. A single saint fights back, and a thousand demons cry in agony. And you are that saint. Jesus Will Never Leave Nor Forsake You ''Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.” Ps 37:3-5 Jesus Christ came into this world to reach those who feel that nobody cares. The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in Him. The Lord Jesus Christ does care and He is reaching the lonely and the desperate, the confused and the hurt, the depressed and the disillusioned. Jesus Christ is reaching out to you. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom 5:8 As we turn away from our sin and turn to Christ we find forgiveness and freedom. Jesus Christ is a Friend to the friendless. He is a Helper to the helpless. He gives freedom to the addicts. He loves the unloved. He accepts the outcasts. He changes the unchangeable. He forgives the unforgivable. He accomplishes the impossible. He saves sinners. He seeks the lost.

How did the F.B.I shut this guy up?

How about spend 1 dollar twice a month or less... on a super lotto ... ? that would seem like one of the most simple dumbest smart things one could do ! definitely wont win spending 0.

Michael Franzese kicks his 'God' money up to the Colombo family. That's how he gets away with it. Smart bloke.

Visit your father....

His pupils are fully dilated

Why do u people let him lie in front of d TV
