Congratulations

Great sit-down with Joseph McBratney and blessings on his forgiveness !!
Many years ago in the early 70's I was in my early 20's and doing stupid things on the street. My uncle found out about it from friends of his. My family is from Garfield place so they knew all the players. He called for me and told me something I'll never forget. Remember, you live by the sword you die by the sword. I got out!
You were a wise to take your Uncles' advice!!
Young people don't see the consequences of their actions or for some reason they don't care. Praise God your Uncle intervened so you could be around today.
Incredible Journey you have been on. I really enjoy your sit downs. God bless from the U.K.
I like this guy. Great interview Michael. Happy to hear his life turned out ok.
Love your sitdowns. The stories have been fascinating. Sad and heartwarming in turns.
Legal or illegal you are a true business man... more power to you
Jimmy McBratney junior is a class act and a pillar of the community. A true gentleman in every sense of the word.
Great video, Michael. Best of continuing luck and blessings.
Truer words have never been spoken. Thank you Michael. Awesome interview
Micheal awesome video God bless both of you........
I asked my father if he knew John when he was in the Bronx in the 1960's. He said "I knew about the guy up there".
This is such a beautiful story of forgiveness and redemption.
At 28:50 some interesting family stories - one tragic - from Michael and Joseph followed by some astounding details of Joseph's amazing work as an interventionist.
Loved that interview. Thank you!
Hi Michael, so blessed to have met you while in Pittsburgh. Great testimony and great evening. God bless you Michael. 🙏❤️🙏
I'm expecting my first bottle of wine today!❤
This was a wonderful interview. It is amazing that he was able to forgive Gotti. Just one note, he never actually said he was a Christian. He said “I’m as spiritual as they come” and admitted that he experienced God moments through many events in his life, but he never actually said he was a follower of Yeshua.
Exactly, Michael, it’s not just about mob stories. It’s about transforming power of the word of truth, the word of God. God bless you!
Forgiveness is powerful.
That's so awesome that he is helping others. He's doing more good than he knows. I'm 6 years sober off of heroin and meth and it was by far the best decision I have ever made and I pray for all those who are still in active addiction. God bless both of you guys and thanks for sharing your stories ✝️🙏
Great job Mike and Joe . Thank you very entertaining stuff
You always do the most interesting interviews Mike. This was another great sit down. Gof bless you and your family Mike.
Amazing as always Mike mate xx
Thank you 💛 for this excellent sit down with Joseph. Forgiveness is sometimes very difficult, but an absolute must for healing.
New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing your amazing story and life! God Bless you and keep you
Michael's daughter, trying to escape disciplining: "Dad, you're not in the Mafia anymore."' LOL! Being a parent is never easy!
Great sit down!
Great conversation about God and forgiveness!😀🙏
Hey Mr. Franzese! I'm not sure if you remember me, but I was the one who asked you (no disrespect intended) if you were okay to travel outside the US. Again, no disrespect intended and I definitely enjoy your videos. Your videos are another form of "Chicken soup for the soul." That's part of the reason I watch them because I love coming away with a good helping of your soup (and hopefully later, your wine). Anyway, I really loved what you are saying about forgiveness. What most people think about forgiving someone is that you have to like the person that you forgive. That is far from the truth. What it is (as I learned it from positive attitude tapes and seminars) is that you just let go. That's it. Let go. For some people, that's really hard to do. It was hard for me, but I did it and I still continue to do it. I'm a Junior/Senior high school teacher in Japan, married to a lovely (and sometimes somewhat stubborn lady, but I love her and tell her that everyday) Japanese lady with 3 great girls (all Japanese born). I teach them and my students this and that failure is (First Attempt In Learning). You have to make mistakes to be successful. Thank you very much for your videos and God continue to bless you and others like you. Manuel Valencia (Call me "Manny."
Great interview well done...
Great interview 😎
Bless you. ❤❤❤
I found your channel 2 months ago and love the content !
Well come to the party brother
Who do you think killed Sonny Liston Mike?
Great question
@@jefferybrockman3252 Thanks, I hope Mike will do a video on it.
Looking forward to seeing you in the uk
Forgiveness is a beautiful thing. What Joseph did by forgiving Gotti is what being a Christian is all about. It's living it not just talking.
Great interview. Pleasantly surprised.
Fantastic pod mike very wise words keep it up
Keep them coming Michael.
Really enjoyed this interview. Thank you. Forgiveness is the hardest thing, especially for those who truly do not know King Jesus. When you accept Him into your life and ask Him to forgive you of your sins, you are given the very nature of Christ in your spirit. It is now your new nature to practice forgiveness.
Well done Gentlemen. The positivity element is next level Through those who’ve lived actual divisional existence’s. I’m hooked upon the Negativity in life & this interaction assist’s. This is the best existence thus far, & still all of mankind is living in limbo waiting upon our Nations leader’s to do as what’s necessary.
Great video michael much love from houston texas
Another great sitdown. What a character.
Uncle Michael, hope all is well and may Gods hand be on top of your wife children. I would always write to you during the hard Covid times with Unc Mike etc. I’m so happy and proud of you guys with the brand. I just saw your Armenian partner on our Armenian Chanel speaking about it and I got so excited and wanted to write to you personally. I will also do everything possible to market for you guys.
Great interview.
It takes heart to forgive. It takes more bravery to choose peace. I'm working on that now.
Hey Micheal when will your book Mafia Democracy be available for sale again? Everywhere I check they seem to be sold out.
@@michaelfranzese Thankyou
Will there be audio books on Amazon also
Incredible podcast, this is fascinating yet enlightening. Our stories and awakening may be different but the results are similar. Forgiveness is powerful
Good video. I have one question: Is the wine you sell any good?
Thanks Mike. “I know him”👍🙏 Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. Thanks Joe B. Joey football says I Love ya brother. 🙏
Great video thank you
I respect Michael because he is always honest about "the Life." No holes barred; it was what it was. He is also living his truth today with integrity. Meanwhile, I hope Mr. McBratney knows his father is watching over him in spirit, but the lesson of choices often has lifelong consequences. Godspeed to them.
I really enjoyed this sitdown.
Thanks!
Thank you Michael Franzese 😊❤🙏💝
I would say more so than him being willing to forgive, the fact he was honest enough to add that he knew he was doing it for himself and not John Gotti is an example of realness and that works for me !!
Kidnapping and holding made guys for ransom sounds rather hazardous lol
As stupid as "rob the mob." 🤣🤣
Got my first four bottles of your wine and it is excellent.
All is blessed here.
God bless you Michael, fellow Christian here from the UK. Currently in Poland until the weekend. If I may ask, if you didn’t join the mafia from a young age what field of work would you have gone for?
Doctor loll, Michael said something along the lines of his Dad saying michael would be the first doctor wiseguy
THIS WAS THE BEST INTERVIEW I HAVE EVER SEEN..GODS GRACE AND MERCY WAS IN BETWEEN THESE TWO...
Michael, fantastic guest Joe's testimonial with his life struggles& overcoming them to forgive those that caused so much pain in his life is a true example of faith and fortitude that should inspire us all to be better human beings! Going above and beyond to help those struggling with addiction.May I suggest that he be added to the crew with Chaz,Mike,& yourself. If he hasn't already. THE GOOD IN THIS WORLD CAN ONLY KEEP GROWING IF WE STAND TALL TO OVERCOME THE BREAK DOWN OF SOCIETY WORLDWIDE BY A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF EVIL PEOPLE !!!! THANK ALL OF YOU THAT CONTRIBUTE TO DO SO!!!! Many may ask themselves What can I do? I'm just one person.One person at a time is all it takes to create army to overcome. ❤
God bless you and your family Michael Franzese
What song does Michael use in his intro? “I’m walking redemption”
It's refreshing to hear such wonderful stories of people in service of people. Thank you Michael for presenting this selfless individual to us!!
Good stuff
God is good Mike. Keep up the great work.

AAAHHHHHH MAAZZIIINNGGGG sit down !!💯🤘🏼 GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU 🙏🏼☝🏼
Great Man
He's talking to you because he has faith. That's gotta feel good.
Kidnapping and murdering Don Carlo Gambino's nephew... Not a 'healthy' decision.
Pittsburgh loves and respects you, Michael 🙏
I'm so sorry you lost your father Mr McBratney.
I love Michael. Very very classy. Meeting him is on my bucket list.
If he rode a greyhound bus from New York to California then his ankles swelled up. Ask him.
How do I buy tickets in Ireland?
KEEP GOING MIKE
One of the most touching interviews, 🕊, so glad he's a Christian ✝️ 💙 follows his vows to GOD!
Hey Mike why’d they pronounce your last name like that in goodfellas they said Mikey Francheze
Please do one on Carlos Marcello. He was a very close friend of mine.
Love the backdrop Michael
Awesome story 👍🏼🙏🏼
Another beautiful interview...so sorry about your father prayers...actually prayers 4 everyone
I’m from the Amazon Jungle and I couldn’t figure out how John Gotti had to do with the Gambino family. I’m still trying to figure that out. 😄
Hello Michael you have helped many with you sharing the destruction of that life.. keep up the great work your doing and the great Karma your doing for others who grow up in that toxic environment
God bless you Michael
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH WE ALL HAVE GIFTS AND CALLINGS FROM GOD..MANY ARE CALLED FEW ARE CHOSEN..REMAIN HUMBLE...STAY OBIDIENT TO GOD..
That is a proper quality picture behind Michael
Malbec is what I’m having; Bogle ‘19…
Michael can you do a video and explain why the 5 crime families were given the honor of the family names despite others coming before them? Why wasn't a family named for Lucky Luciano?
The genevese family was originally the luciano family
Has Donald Aronow been talked about? Also ate some pizza from Slyces while vacationing at Indian Rocks Beach last week. Good stuff!
29:40 - 30:00 AMEN
Very good interview and an eye opener for mafia buffs like me, we only see the victim of the hit , never the see how it affects the family.
Micheal thank you so much for a wonderful interview. Very different and interesting subject matter. Learned things I never knew. God bless Joe that he learned to let going and unburden his soul!
