He’s 72 years old? 🤯 the guy looks amazing for 72
It's all that Italian red wine!
He looks better than most 40yr olds facts🙌
It’s his clean conscience.
@@user-sz8km9dy5vyou can say he looks young for his age without making an absolutely ridiculous statement
Great genetics, his dad lived till 102 I believe and he didn't look his age either
One thing Piers never fails at is asking the hard questions…Then immediately interrupting the guest and not giving them a chance to get two words in 😂
Love it
Yepper
Let your guest speak in tried of you cutting the person off so disrespectful you suck piers Morgan learn how to interview your guest
The issue is, that sometimes he allows people tonspeak, but aeems very ... Selective on who he allows to talk a bit more.
yup
It's incredible how respectful and honest he is. Straight shooter, no bullshit. Amazing speaker. One of the best if not the best interviewee Piers ever had.
That's because he's close to God now
@@karenkline7221😂😂😂
Agreed. An amazing guest with an amazing testimony.
Michael was the biggest La Cosa Nostra money maker in the history of mob!Nobody ever made up such a scam to defraud government.
Straight shooter until asked about if he’s killed anyone
I've watch countless interviews with Mr. Franzese. I can't get enough. One of the most fascinating people I've ever heard.
I agree
Everybody is overlooking this because we’re not programmed to view other people this way. He murdered before he got made, no getting around it. He murdered in order to become a made man. He ordered murders as a caporeigeme. He was involved in rackets which harmed and profited off of the suffering of innocents. Look at his demeanor and body language. Complete sociopath. His KZhead is nothing but his next scam. He’s so disillusioned that he’ll forgive his father a man who would murder his own son for the sake of an oath that lets you indulge in crime, murder, and debauchery. He was repeatedly put in harms way due to his father’s influence, the implications that life had on the safety and financial security of his family, him introducing such a life to him, pathetic. I honestly pity Micheal. Behind his cool smooth talking facade is nothing but a hollow husk of a man.
He’s a pos that killed people to enrich himself , got paid off the back of hard working people for so called “protection” .. they make for great movies though
We are glorifying @$$@$in$ now 😂
@@hollybanville474We're glorifying knowledge, and knowledge about bad stuff comes from people who lived a bad life. That life was appearently full of people who were ready to sell their souls for nothing, Franzese looks like he kept his honor and only did what he got told
This guy is more honest than 99% politicians.
That's why he's not one
No he isn't. He's a sociopathic liar like most Mafia members.
That's not saying much though...
sad
Well now he is...back then not.
One thing I dislike about Piers is how he sometimes asks a question and cuts off the answer mid sentence.
All the time.
that can be a bit cringe yeah, but i think he does it to get to the point and save time, so that he gets the most out of the interview!
Constantly does it especially when he is wrong
That's Pierce for you..."interrupter interviewer"
Yea he did that a few times here which was annoying because we didnt get to hear Michael's full response
I wish Piers would stop interrupting Michael. Michael is so humble and gracious.
He is a very fine actor.
He projects images well ! @@royfairchild6895

He is so annoying with that!!
Michael Franzose has CEO qualities. I’m very impressed with his composure, quiet confidence, focus, ability to listen, the respect he gives people, and his faith.
= Mafia trained
He's also a thief, a killer and a rat. Maybe he can run the Trump Organization for the last few days that it exists.
Well, he was promoted to captain and, uh, “managed” about 300 guys. Just because his business was illegal, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a business. He *was* a CEO of sorts, just a criminal one *shrug*
@@tommygunn1119don’t be fooled. The rules of the mafia aren’t respected anymore. Today, made men are no more noble than your average street criminal
Best part, his faith
Did Piers Morgan really expect Michael to admit to calling out murders and hits on people? He was in the mafia for a reason
Cant believe you’re the only comment I’ve seen like this so far. There is no statute of limitation on murder so obviously he wouldn’t admit on live TV
Supposedly there’s paperwork where he was the suspect in 2 deaths- he didn’t pull the trigger himself but he took people on walks they didn’t come back from because they trusted him not to do that
Exactly, cops will be waiting outside if he did that. many judges will issue warrant
Right 😂😂😂. He tried though.
It’s just common knowledge anyone in that life at his position…. Not hard to come up with that answer lol. It’s just something you don’t speak on EVER. And honestly if it was a cop who committed that, would anyone question it? No. I look at it as thank you for taking out the trash that may have harmed an innocent family.
Michael even has the ability to keep Piers calm and quiet. Good interview.
Because his goons are stood behind lol
This was the first time something like this had happened.
YE taught Piers how to stop interrupting. That's a GREAT INTERVIEW and very funny at times.. It's worth watching. ¥$
Who?@@yogijaya2897
In the end, what does right conditions mean? I guess that helped a little.
Michael is a very charismatic man, an intriguing man to listen to. Piers Morgan is a knob.

I can neither confirm nor deny that information 😂
Piers loves to belittle anyone he interviews. Especially to do w the murder questions. The mob didn't just kill people for no reason. Anyone who was involved w them business wise knew the consequences therefore it is actually moral game. As fucked as it was it was an honesty system based on respect and a man's word. Sometimes i feel as if the world could learn alot rather than just be a piers and judge those who live in the Grey area.

Wow….The HIGHEST QUALITY interview ever…. They’re both very respectful, and brilliant …..🌷👸🌷
50% right yeah
I’m an ex inmate and since I discovered Michael franzese and listened to what he was saying on his KZhead channel I am now on the right path
Way to go man .
Stay strong, dude.
Plz stay on the right path. Never hurt innocent people and just live your life making an honest living. Love your family & friends..that's all there is to it. Take care
So it took an ex mafia boss to go straight? Their scum and prey on the weak awesome example!!!
@@Robrulz666icloud lol says a satanist lol
Even here Piers can't stop himself from interrupting his guest.
*Asks question about guest* *Answers question about guest*
Atleast he’s not transphobic
I really want him to shut the fuck up and let him speak
Shocking and infuriating as a viewer
@@Nomad_786 That would be his only redeeming quality.
Apart from a Mob’s Life; Michael Franzece almost worshiped his Father which shows how respectful son he was.!!
That's why instead of a mother; Mike always mention how important the role of a Father's figure in a family
@@gandharaorganicfoodsWhat would he know about being or having a father figure. His father wanted him clipped and got him into a violent life of murder...
@@gandharaorganicfoodsMakes no sense. The father got him to do heines crimes. How is having him as a father was an "important role"?

@@REALdavidmiscarriagewhy did he want his son clipped?
Fascinating interview 👌
I like how michael allows piers to interrupt him so that he can speak less. Truly a mafia boss
:DD
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Michael Franzese…ever the strategist, even during interviews
It would have been funny if Michael would have used a cliche mob movie line. MORGAN; "Have you ever killed anyone?" MICHAEL; "You know John Smith? Terrible thing that happened to this man."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Michael know how to answer questions without incriminating himself.
I loved seeing Piers sweating for once, Michael has been in tougher conversations with tougher people than him lol... Just chilling, smug with it!
I love the Sinatra question about favors. “Not that I know of.” He knows. But he’s taking it to the grave.
I love that about him…very very very respectful
He's said many times, on other interviews, that he has not immunity deal so he can't say certain things as he risks investigation again
He ratted out made men mike franzese is a rat
Amazing how not smoking, not heavy or completely not drinking, and living a clear conscience life, coming closer to a personal religion, does positivity in a persons life. He looks like a personal inspirational speaker for a Fortune 10 company.
In my opinion, he is an exceptional actor. Is he a truly a good person or not ? I have an opinion based on intuition.
How is that amazing leading an honest life and not indulging in stuff thats bad for you is obvious you’ll be positive
Hes a bullshit artist and a killer for hire.

He probably is .
Mike & I were in the Fed Toastmasters I'm 91-94. We had the #1 group in the world. Some amazing story tellers. Mike is modest, approachable and a true gentleman Knew him pretty well. Saw him a few years back. It was fun to catch up.
~~~ an AUTHENTIC ‘true gentleman ‘ or just someone who looks and ACTS like ‘a true gentleman’ !
The man just oozes confidence and creed cologne 😂
I reckon he’s more a Baccarat Rouge guy!

and sex
Micheals way to steer a conversation with top tier composure shows you how elite he was back then
Seemed a bit wimpy in front of Piers
@@DragonZombie2000I wanna see you act like a child who lacks composure when you're 72. You gotta be a true idiot to still act full of anger at that age.
@@DragonZombie2000 wimpy? I’d say it was the other way around.
@@DragonZombie2000he just wasn’t gonna talk over piers and raise his voice, he has patience
He still has that class
There are so many videos with Michael. This is the only one you really need to watch. Piers just pulled all answers out of him that you are wanting.
For my surprise Piers was able to make Franzese tell much more than in other interviews.
Fantastic interview! Good conversation from both parties!
He looks good for 72. Good genetics. His Dad made it to 103 years old.
Step dad
@@willbrown2930nope, he really was his father
Olive Oil
@@joelhall5124nope, step dad
Sonnys family was from Naples. Mike looks clearly Sicilian like his real father
Franzese is a master of word play, says so much while saying nothing, can tell hes legit, he never has given specifics except for what’s public knowledge even on his channel or others, same stories consistently
I would bet he never killed anybody.
@surfshack2 I would bet at least one, as an initiation.
He killed for sure he is ex capo😂
@@Domoo1908 Ah , I’m not buying it
He says nothing because hes a fugazi who was protected by dad who may not of even been his real dad. And he was a racketeer, not a gangster. 2 very different people in La Cosa Nostra. Money guy, not a tough guy.
Fantastic interview!
This interview is like peeling back the layers of a complicated puzzle. Piers Morgan's direct questioning coupled with Michael Franzese's candid responses make for a riveting conversation. It's fascinating to hear insights from someone with such a unique perspective on organized crime.
Are these “candid responses” or well-articulated obfuscations ?
His calmness is scary lol! Totally in control of what he says and does!! A man with a lot of experience!
When people like him are calm, you better be scared lol
@@vinniedixon1140 Or at the very least incredibly attentive.
That's why he's still alive. All the loose cannons are dead. He knows what to say and how to say it without tripping over his own dick
Relax bro he's just a good speaker. He's 72 years old and spend decades of his life meeting new people, navigating a mafia life that includes a lot of "sit-downs" and negotiating etc. He's very shrewd and his mind is still ad sharp as he was young if not sharper. But he's never really been that intimidating. He's just very socially adept person and smarter than the average mobster.
“Never get angry, Never make a threat. Reason with people.” Ragione(reason in English) Vito Corleone from the godfather novel.
I never get tired hearing Mr. Franzeses' stories.
He is a lying Con artist..I know his family very well and his cousin is a good friend of mine..Everything he says is a lie and I remember the trials in Brooklyn where he put his 90 year old father away for life 6 months before he was about to get out as well as many members of his family by wearing a wire for FBI because he got caught using and slinging drugs..He was NOT a boss, he was the black sheep of the family..I’m sick of seeing him in the limelight lying about all of this..SMFH
@@mattsullivan6163 If you only knew how stupid you sound, you'd stop!
@@mattsullivan6163 you're so clueless, calling someone a liar while also lying yourself is the most insane thing you can do, the entire case regarding him is publicly documented and free to view anywhere, even other former mob members have verified he didn't put anyone away, keep living in a fairytale.

Great interview. Michael Franzese is an amazing man. I am absolutely fascinated by his life. Best interview I have seen by Piers.
This is far better interview than I thought it was going to be.
he's got entire channel on YT and many many other interviews with him on popular podcasts.
Every interview with Michael I have seen & I watch his podcast too..he draws you in and is a super guy too. It is even better when he is allowed to freely talk. Pierce interrupts too much.

Definitely one of the best looking 72 years old I've ever seen. Michael looks 50. This man is so damn calm and well spoken. Such a gentleman regardless of what he did in his past.
He does not look 50 silly 🤦🏻♂️
@@Bloggsjoe81 actually better than most 50 year old. There you have it.

What a handsome, intelligent, well spoken and respectable man he is....Love listening to him. Also....he is an amazing listener. Many people can talk but cant listen. Another sign of great honor. Great interview! Props to both gentlemen. ❤
we need a guy like this in office,at 72,lookin good.. he's always impressive
The way he swindled around certain questions very slickly is impressive some of these rappers need to take notes😂
fr. all these rappers need to lmao
Its a show and a grift for the naive.
He did his time and paid his dues that life nearly destroyed his family. He lived it along with many others. He doesn’t have to be put on the spot he’s a different person now doing his best to live right. He stated before he actually wanted to be a doctor but he stepped up out of love for his Dad and probably to help his Mom and his siblings that says a lot. He’s about the coolest, self controlled, articulate, doesn’t let emotions rule him, slow to anger, calm and collected guy I’ve ever seen. I love that guys style. I could totally see him being a surgeon or doctor back in the day. Only Piers Morgan could look at a former Mafia guy and ask, “Did you ever kill anyone?” Mr. Morgan, why? If he did or didn’t you can’t bring them back from the dead. C’mon really?
I hope you’ve said that on EVERY interview that piers has done??
Seemed pretty open to me. He didn't admit to personally killing anyone. Why would he? Statute of limitations. He can't be charged for ancient crimes other than murder. Guy is an open book. Didn't dance around anything. You expect him to, that's your limitation.. not his.
His wife never asked him did he kill anyone because he showed her The Godfather where Michael says "dont ask me about my business Kay" 😂
Nobody operating in a criminal lifestyle should tell their significant other or any one in their life a single thing about what they do because when the cops come if they know nothing they can't say anything. Squares are not built for interrogation, hell most criminals buckle.
"Okay, just this once. No." :)
@@nancyj795what a great scene
I’m delighted for you Michael well done hopefully you will influence a lot of people with your life story
He is influencing young disillusioned men in what way ?
I love the way Franceze is conducting himself. Strong and grounded, but in a smart way.
When he said he was 72 I couldn't believe it! Looks great. What an interesting interview. Enjoyed it immensely.
since he was kinda of a ''hitman'' what you are telling me are would let him hit? hahaha
Italian Blood I guess peace ✌️ Joe the Australian
Yes: Like he said, his father lived to 103, an Underboss who spent 40 years in jail. The genetics are there.
It’s genetics, his dad lived to 102.
Looks great for his age and can he give us the secret
This dude still has the Mafioso swagger, been out of the life for almost 30 years. This dude embodies was made that whole image so alluring back in those days. Glad he's got it turned around and living straight but damn. So exciting to listen to the details and hearing about it from a retrospective of respect but also regret.

I have no affiliation with that life obviously as I’m 28 *and would never admit to the existence of that life, even if it did 😂* but I have heard many stories of lore and he adds real legitimacy and validation to them. Also, you really asked him straight up on camera if he’s killed people? 😅
Youngstown "Little Chicago"
This has to be Piers's best interview ever.
This guy exudes an aura of mystery nd sophistication.
You can tell this guy is ACTUALLY EX MAFIA
He’s a very intelligent man. His KZhead channel is gold.
It’s an interview for your entertainment. Probably very little truth, or if it is. It’s all dramatized and glamorized. These guys are not nice people. Neither is Piers. Check out his sordid past as a tabloid editor in the UK, where I was born and lived until I was 28. Piers is not a good guy.
@@NashvilleTuneStream You are exactly right. Do not buy a word this guy says. Read my comment at the very top of the comments where I go into more detail. That is, if it's not removed. He's using God as a cover, and to brag about his despicable, supposedly former life. I have zero to do with Italians, especially those in business. As a former New Jersey gal, we know to stay completely away from them for obvious reasons. They are NEVER reformed, they're just corrupt shape shifters. Good for you for speaking out. This guy is a low life sleaze. Further, a truly godly person would NOT be bragging about their former disgraceful, vicious life. As for Pierce, yeah, exactly right again. Another sleaze.
and very smooth, charming, glamorous, lying.
21:00 PERFECT!!! THANK YOU Michael for straighting this point out. Many people claim to be Catholic/Christian but are far from it. Thank you for being real about this subject!

@@livinginbidenstan3251 Good thing we have you sir, to tell us what the truth is.

Why do you believe you are right and what is the source of your information? 😁
Hey man God bless ya~ it's funny to think that you think that way kinda curious as to why and where did you get that source of information from?

Hilarious
Cause he cant get anyone else on his show
Great video! Thank you.
I respect pierce, he always asks the hard questions, questions we want to know about the answers
This is the first interview I have seen in this format on youtube that wasn't about the culture wars and my fucking god, it's refreshing. No arguments, no shouting, no hearing the same opinions repeated ad infinitum, Piers Morgan in his professional mode rather than stuffing a burger in his gob in front of a vegan and a very interesting guest. I don't know what it says about our times that an interview with an ex-gangster is considered a palate cleanser....
stop glorifying stupid criminals , it’s fucking disgusting for people who attained wisdom
Agree mate. You should check out Ladbible. Many of these
Piers still manages to pop some of his favourite subjects in there. Trump, Tate, etc. I'm just surprised Meghan and Hamas never got thrown in there for good measure 😂😂😂
Dont patronize Franzese's youtube channel then. All he talks about now that he's used up all his mob stories is Trump, politics, wokism, blah blah blah
@@mgers75 it shows change is possible
It was a great pleasure meeting you recently, my friend! Please know that I continue to pray for your safety, health, family and vocation. Praise God for His hand of protection and blessings on your life! Bless your father Sonny too. 🙏
Great interview....
Michael Franzese is the epitome of composure ! He's gone through it all !! What a way of speaking.
This guy is the definition of reformed and winning the genetic lottery ... Truly amazing how he possesses so many exceptional traits without seemingly showing any weaknesses. It seems every single personality trait, whether it's narcissistic or anti social, or even a non negative trait he has won the lottery in. On top of that he looks 50 at 72. Is he human at this point?
Rats can be deceiving.

38:01 the way Michael delivers that Paccino line from GF iii, hits with a chill.
Everyone in the life realises that it's not all glamour. There's times when it's glamorous but more often it's gruesome. The film Doonny Brasco shows this perfectly
It also rots the should .
Very much enjoyed this interview. Amazing how Michael Franzese turned his life around.
Jesus did it for him.
@@stuartmenziesfarrantno, Jesus didn’t do anything for him. Michael did it, Jesus inspired him. There’s a massive difference.
@@stuartmenziesfarranthe sure did
What's so amazing about it? He got out of jail turned his fame and notoriety into cash. Like this guy has had so much luck in his life. He should be in jail for the rest of his life, instead he is a social media star who receives minimal backlash and has a cult following who worships him.
He didnt turn his life around he got caught.
I can see alot of people reacting to an answer either get cut off or put on hold because of Piers adding more to the initial question. It's not only a way to make an interview feel more like a leveled conversation but also a way to counter any "practiced" or rehearsed replies. And sometimes I'm pretty sure Piers own curiousity just got the best of him which makes him an even more pleasant interviewer. Treat others like you want to be treated yourself. This was a good interview thanks to both parties.
Great guest & interview Piers 👏🏼
Michael Franzese is a total Stand-up guy. Smart, respectful, articulate, down to the point, a great guest. Congrats Piers!
He's a murderer
@@bobhren747 proof?
@@bobhren747 Sure! So are Obama and Biden. And Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, and dozens of other real bad mobsters.
@@bobhren747 Sometimes life can take you on a road that's only one way, but sometimes if you're lucky, life gives you an exit. Especially if the road is paved with good intentions. You can't judge someone when you haven't been in their shoes, your one sided view blinds you to the truth of life. Have a nice day.
@@c7torchred868well said💯
He gives more straight answers than a politician.
Even in dodging the question, it was more straight
Weak.
Yeah... In some ways, mafiosos are more serious in their words/lifestyle than most people. Most people can throw away respect and loyalty like nothing. Politicians can lie to your face and get away with it.... If mafiosos lie... They get beaten. Or killed! Much more serious stuff man. There's actually a moral-social thing in here that it's like in REVERSE... Because politicians deal with people's lives. Can't go around lying and cheating people! And yet.... That's what they do. NOBODY holds them accountable in a way.... So that's why I say... Right and wrong, or evil and good, it's NOT an easy thing to distinguish. It's wayyyyyyyy more difficult and deep than just hearing a 1minute story and putting a label on it
What kind of a hell sort of standard is that? 😀 "He is more gentle than a serial killer." I'm just giving you a hard time, but let's be honest. Can you think of a more dishonest person than a politician? A backhanded comment. "He's smarter than thefeebleclone." Seriously, you should be whacked for an insult like that. 🤣
Threats will get you everywhere. [sometimes] @@TheFeebleClone
Michael is a class act,a awesome speaker and no doubt a changed man. Thanks for being you and saying the way it is
I have doubts about him. Why isn’t he doing something else now rather than giving Glory to an aberrant, Evil Lifestyle ?
Very careful and wise words by the former mafia. Well done.
Piers, really this is one of the best interviews you have done, I hope I can see one of his shows in the UK...👍🏻
Piers saying, "Mehfia" must be like fingernails on a chalkboard to Mikey! 🤨
😂
Naw he saying Mãff-yea 😅😂
Franzese has said many times that the mob never called themselves Mafia. He prefers Cosa Nostra, this thing of ours. He said Mafia refers to the mob in Italy, not in the United States.
What are you talking about lol? He is saying Maff not Meh.
@@DownAroundSanAntonio-ik4ekThey call themselves Cosa Nostra in Sicilly also. Despite what he says they are both Mafia.
WHAT A SENSATIONAL AND BRILLIANT INTERVIEW! Piers Morgan you doring!
Great interview!
The part where he said he didn’t know he wasn’t in the movie and brought his wife to watch it had me rolled up 😂
The best interview Piers has done in a while. Thank you for letting him tell his amazing story
he didn't tell his story....he just fleeced you all
he cuts him off quite often do doesnt he?
@@UnderwaterFishFilms yea....whose the real boss here...
Looks amazing for 72 and I love how calm and well spoken he is
Met him once at a popular lake he owned the house next to my family’s and my son who was 5 threw a ball at his face and while he was looking at me and maintaining a conversation he caught it and never missed a beat while saying don’t get mad he will be a great ball player someday!!! Very cool guy and I always looked forward to seeing him while there
You sound like easy prey for a conman.
Great interview thank you Pierce
He's usually so careful answering questions. I'm really surprised how he addressed the murder subject.
"Did you kill anyone?" .....--> "ppl died" xD
Michael is extremely intelligent! Watch his channel!
He spoke perfectly. Didnt slip up at all
I was thinking the same think, I believe that is the closest Michael has ever come to admitting it. He does not have immunity from this crime, that is why he hesitates. Sammy The Bull has immunity so he can speak freely about it.
@@frankthetank8799With no names, no witnesses and zero evidence? Yeah good luck with that conviction , hell it wouldn’t even make it to trial for the those reasons alone. Not to mention what fed prosecutor out there would be jumping at the chance to pursue a 70 year old ex mob guy for a 40 year old mob hit ? I mean unless they just really have it in for him (which they don’t since they already made a deal with him decades ago) I just don’t see it ..
Michael Franchese is a guy that you would like no matter what stage he is in his life. That said, I'm happy to see him where he is now living honest, well and on the right side of his spiritual path. Much respect.
Ya, selling out mob stories for cash is the most honest and spiritual path ever. Much respect for the Grift.
@@colinmclaughlin9047 people change and evolve. Is he supposed to ignore his past? He has a plat form now because of how much people are interested in hearing about his past but he can spread what he believes now because of that. I think everyone understands that and are fine with the exchange.
@@colinmclaughlin9047and you must be the type that would love Sammy the bull
@@shanewoods1980 Another has been looking to profit on the backs of those that didnt flip.
@@colinmclaughlin9047 and “who didn’t flip”? Please fill us in with your infinite knowledge and wisdom please
This man has incredible charisma. And Piers always ask the right questions.
Best Piers Morgan interview to date. He asked Franzese every question I have always wanted to know. Outstanding!
Piers not letting Micheal finish his sentences is typical
Right!?!? It’s so frustrating because I wanted to hear his answer! So irritating…
Michael is the definition of CLASS.👍👍👍
michael franzese is the most believably honest person i have ever seen interviewed..ever... it could be that he's the best liar.. or the most honest truth teller...
Michael' father was Sonny Franzese, high ranking mafia member. I was a security mgr. of a large dept. store on Long Island in the 60's. One Monday morning as we opened the store we found gas torch equipment and a bag of coins. Further investigation revealed that the safes were burned open and all of the jewelry was gone. This burglary ,up to that time, was the largest lost in Suffolk County, Long Island history. When a very good detective friend of mind who investigated this case told me it was S. Franzese I got scared , lol. There's more to this story. Lots of mafia people in NYC and Long Island.
makes you wonder where all that money went... sonny ended up at the poor house far from his family
He spent a lot of time in prison but not for the crime I described.@@alainportant6412
@@alainportant6412 🚩 FORGET "personification" of Jesus. The REAL Jesus does NOT want to BE FOLLOWED . The REAL Jesus did NOT say "fisherman of the MAN", but the REAL Jesus said "Fisherman of the MEAN". In stead of stating something (which makes one to be the SATAN whom is STATING A STATEMENT and in such way creates its own ESTATE the State the Government in order To POSSESS others to become "YOURS Property" ) , one should rather ASK OneSELF and ASK OTHERS if they can help one to find to ANSWER or to help one to correct one´s FALLING INTO Demonic TRICK. We are in the middle of the WAR against HUMANS. Jesus is nothing else but The TRUTH itself being neither of Female gender nor of male gender. That is WHY they SACRIFICED Jesus which most probably could had been a Female, and NO, Jesus did NOT resurrected after such torture and censordShip ,... but they had by claiming "resurrection" committed IDentity THEFT (just as in SONNY´s Franceze´s case = ID theft committed by those criminals around him who BELIEVE and TRUST in a DRUG "LORD" and war "LORD" & such ID theft was done in cooperationg with FBI corrupt agents whom had sex with someone´s else Wife whose husband was locked up & such ID theft it was done by other Corrupt law officials ) . Everyone should SPEAK The TRUTH , and SPEAK it LOUD . (that is WHY the more NEW translated religion such as Islam which is ALSO WRONGLY TRANSLATED as The YEAR but as The WRONG YEAR because it was in REality not so long ago when you Compare the CALENDAR of those different Beliefs but they had TRICKED the People by claiming that it was not recently while they are saying we are now in Year 1400 and something according to Muslim Calendar ... and so... they had figured it out after Christianity Schizm , .... and muslims made a sort of HIGH TOWER building after they no longer were talking from the Top of the Hill ... and where their Imam goes high up in that one sort of a Tower Building and SHOUTS HIS WORDS to be heard FAR AWAY ... but do have in mind that there is a DIFFERENCE in shia Islam which is nothing else but only translated the same thing as Christian Monarchy where the POWER is INHERITED IN ONE SAME FAMILY after some COUSIN STOLE the Truth from Mohammed and some COUSIN from a Parallel bloodLine wrote it down ,,,, and there is a difference to SUNNI ISlam which is sort of Republican POWER where the POWER is NOT inherited in ONE SAME FAMILY but it is supposed to be the People who are having the POWER ). Word "Quran"/ Kuran" = came up because british speaking "someone" TRIED to translate the Truth , with having in mind that QURAN word came from old british word "TO CURE AN/ To CURE 1 " = which means the same thing as maybe Einstein said : " To NOT be STUPID enough to REPEAT the SAME MISTAKES of the PAST = which tells you that RELIGION ITSELF is nothing else but a human controlled RITUAL that is REPEATING the SAME STUPID MISTAKES as a SOFTWARE written in a wrongly Translated Bible from one language to another language depending on who had the power and who wanted the power ! . Spread the WORD ! They CORRUPTED words "The Truth will save Us" = while they are practicing it in a way where they ARE SAVING ONLY THEIR OWN ASS FROM PUNISHMENT .... and they are "SAVING themselves" in a such way that they are PROFITTING on abusing the PROFET and The TRUTH and are abusing the Civilian Population ! The REAL Truth is and should be practiced in a way = "The TRUTH will LIBERATE us/ FREED". Ephesians 6: 12 !
Long Island was my home for any years I finally had enough and moved it was once beautiful once
@oldtimedrumcorps My mom grew up on Long Island as well. When you said you had enough, what do you mean by that?
that's the best interview I've ever seen with Peirce Morgan. Respectful and honest. Micheal Franseeze is an absolute gem of a guy. No falseness and truly fascinating.
A gem of a guy? He still caused untold amounta of hurt and pain to many people, be it directly or indirectly and grew rich and powerful on top of it. I appreciate his honesty and his more recent decisions, however me and you have a very different opinon on what makes somebody a gem of a person.
@@bigkuriboh3814it’s not about what you have done. It’s about who you choose to spend your life as. He is Christian now, and spends his time teaching young people about his experience with a life of crime and to avoid it, that “crime doesn’t pay”.
@@hoodedhound8643 What do you mean “he’s a Christian now”? Was he an atheist while in the mob? And what does his religious beliefs have to do with what kind of person he is? Not trying to be a dick, just trying to understand what you’re saying.

@@bilcarter Give the guy a break, he only misspelled their names...
This is a great interview between two great people
What is your definition of a ‘ Great Person ‘ ? He lived off the proceeds of Human Misery ~~~~ Tax Fraud, Drug Trafficking, Extortion, Prostitution, Human Trafficking, Extortion, Protection Racket, Illegal Gambling, Money Laundering, Mutilation, Murder, and telling Lies. My examples of Great People are: MichaelAngelo, Raphael, Tony Bennett, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jimmy Stewart, Roy Orbison, L. Beethoven.
~~~ between one fine Interviewer and a slight possible maybe ‘gentleman’ with silky words of ‘charm ‘ .
Wow, Thanks Piers for taking on Michael! This is great
The Charm of this guy is intoxicating !!!
Okay man, keep it in your pants.
This guy's idol was his father who went along with having him killed, and apparently never apologized for it. More fool you for trusting his instincts on peoples character.
Snakes are Fascinating !
Beautiful interview with Michael Franzese who has an amazing Magnetic Essence. He’s also easy on the eyes!
His looks improved with age. He kind of looked praying mantis-like when he was younger and skinnier.
What a handsome man. Especially for a 72 yo, AND not a celebrity (didn’t need his look for his career) . Looks so good
Good wine
Spot on interview, nice one.
This was a GREAT interview!!!
Best interview with Michael I’ve seen. Morgan knows how to guide better than anyone. Amazing life story and looks like a happy ending too ❤
Great observation about P. Morgan. That‘s his genius, like him, or not.
Oh, there are tons of great ones online of Michael.
this is the most interesting interview i've ever heard
I met Michael in person in 2017. Great guy and very genuine.
💀👹👺🤡🤑🤮💸💸 A ‘great guy’ who has been instrumental in the death of least two people ! ! ! He must have forgot “ Thou Shalt Not Kill. “ .

@@user-rs8gz9us1g me personally, i prefer Epstein, dude owned a fuckin' island!!! what a guy :)
Great interview! I liked Mr. Franzese; he seemed very honest about his redemption journey.
Yes, he is a solid born-again Christian. A great example of the amazing grace of God!
Has he fully repented ? ? ? Has he made amends ? ? ? Does he help ‘The Poor ‘ ? ? ?
"I wouldn't consider myself dangerous." That's what a dangerous person would say.
Correction: That's what the MOST DANGEROUS people say.
He's in God's hands he's giving his life to Jesus Christ
they wouldn't say anything
Michael is NOT dangerous!
It's also what a person who isn't dangerous would say.
