@@michaelfranzese This is great because you hear it straight from the main sources involved. Not an “anonymous Justice Department source” or “a person familiar with the thinking of those involved with the situation at the time.” God how I hate the news and the way they manipulate words. I have only been in NYC once, but I heard the way Giuliani cleaned up NYC during his time as mayor was nothing short of incredible. Time Square was just one example. It used to be seedy, dirty, and generally a place you didn’t want to bring your family. Giuliani and NYPD completely changed the way other large US police departments reduced crime and allocated resources. NYPD and Giuliani implemented COMPSTAT and it revolutionized law enforcement. The idea was to get up to the minute crime stats and using it to identity trends and hot spots in the city. From there, more police personnel and resources were proactively allocated to the problem areas. It really worked and NYC was drastically cleaned up. Unfortunately, that idiot DeBlasio has allowed all the gains that were made to be lost and NYC crime rates are alarmingly high again.
a lot of former criminals have that mindset. the emphasis is on "former". in order to move on from that kind of life you really need to change your perspectives, you're not gonna make it if you remain in the "the whole world is agains me" mindset.
Can't imagine we will ever see such high profile adversaries in a sit-down like this again. Both were magnanimous and genuinely respectful towards each other. Isn't fate strange ?
Michael is such a great listener. Believe it or not, that's a great skill that not many people have. People often space out, don't listen and are busy formulating a response to have ready when it's their turn to talk. You can always tell the people who are doing that as soon as it's their turn to talk.
I love Mr Franzese. I love the way he's seen and done so much, I love the way he carries himself, shows respect and listens to everyone talking to him, and I love the fact he got a second chance at life and is doing positive things now. He came out of the Mafia without anyone killing him, or without him putting anyone in Prison to save his own skin. Pure class and respect.
I lived in NYC in the late 70s. An absolute shit hole of crime and fear. I went back in the 90s - a different place. Safe, thriving, full of young people and life, the park was filled with families and music, NYC was amazing. Rudy's job of turning around NYC is one of the greatest success stories in the history of the country.
@@davidevans3175 Rudy is a con artist soon to be convicted felon LOL. He’ll be hanging out with all those guys he locked up who are still sitting on rikers island! 😂😂

That was by FAR the most amazing interaction between two old rivals that I have ever seen. When that level contempt and distain turns into respect and admiration as a result of personal growth, forgiveness, and time I am sincerely moved and hopeful for humanity. That was absolutely EPIC Michael. BEST sit down yet and I pray that you two do it again face to face over a good meal. Bravo sir. BRAVO!
@@michaelfranzese, thank you for being an inspiration to many people. I hope to meet you again when you come back to London. I still have a photo of the two of us Michael.
How about all the Italian business owners who were forced to testify against the mob or be guilty under Rico? When they did they then lost their business. Rudy Giuliani is a "Uncle Tomasso" to the Italian people.
It is said that you give your enemy, forgiveness and to your friend your heart. What I saw today in this podcast was that.. total respect by two upright men. Bravo
Wow. Giuliani seems so much sharper, intelligent, and articulate than he has been portrayed to be in recent media coverage. I found him to be incredibly thoughtful in this interview.
It's true, Giulani reformed NYC like no other Mayor. I know, I grew up there, and as a kid, my stepdad snuck me into the XXX theatres that ruled Times Square. I saw XXX rated films as a kid, and now, you can never imagine Times Square looking like it looks now. It's like Disney World there. My mother is still in NYC, Spanish Harlem, and I go back to visit her all the time, and each time I do, I have to get off at Port Authority, and still am amazed at the change. Giuliani has to be credited for creating what Times Square looks like now. And as for Franzese, much love and appreciation for what you are doing. -dc
Cable TV is dead because of high quality options such as this channel and many like it. You are an encouragement to my Christian walk Michael - love your work!
Mr. Franzese, this has to be one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. The fact that you guys were able to sit down and be so genuine with each other was awesome. I appreciate your content and love that you preach God’s word now. God bless you sir in all your endeavors.

It is amazing ....i don't know if anyone else notices but Michael sits with his arms out as he does and his face looking down in a solemn stare is very Lincoln like! Bless your family and you Michael!🙏
Michael is a great interviewer, he actually let's people talk without constantly interrupting or tryin to be the focus of attention. As for Giuliani saying you got to assume everything is being tape recorded 'I personally have never been in trouble in my life' and even I am careful of what i say on the phone.
Most people break the law 7 times a day on average and mostly don't even know it. This stat is years old, so it's probably higher now. When asked by anyone in law "do you understand?" You must say "No" because legalise is another language that sounds like English, and you're saying you agree that they can do to you as they desire. Say no.
What a great interview! Three Italian Americans having a friendly virtual sit-down. Rudy, as a former New Yorker myself, I want to thank you for the marvelous job you did as Mayor in restoring NYC to its former glory, at least for a while. Michael, congratulations on turning your life I around! I wish for continued happiness and prosperity for you and your family in the future.
This is real life grown man shit. The guy out you behind bars and almost ripped you away from your family forever over your crimes and you’re sitting here chopping it up with him easily. That was beautiful and it shows how cool people really. Thank you Mr Franzese for serving as a mentor to me your story is incredible. God be with you and your family🙏🏿
I watched both episodes, this is Epic!!!! Im glad you two did a sit down💕💕💕 Micheal in my heart, in tears, I have let you know.. It is a wonderful thing that you became a born again Christian. Your family is blessed for it🙏💞🙏💞🙏
Thank you for consenting to Joe's request to do this interview, Mr. Franzese. Your story is very enlightening and very uplifting. Good luck to you, and God bless.
If you really think about it, it’s amazing that Rudy didn’t get whacked. The amount of balls it took to stand up to the mob at its peak and openly try to take them down is unreal. Rudy is the man.
Not surprising at all. Organized crime never hit a high profile prosecutor or law enforcement officer like Rudy. In Ronald Reagan’s America the Mob would have been violently exterminated if they started killing prosecutors.
No, its not amazing as the mob has always had a hands off policy toward prosecutors and the like going back to Dewey, Dutch Schultz, and Luciano. Schultz wanted to whack Dewey but Luciano said no. Schultz tried to go ahead with the hit and in turn Luciano had him killed. The mob would be stupid morons to whack a prosecutor or anyone like that as it would bring the full force of law enforcement down upon them and that is REAL bad for business.
Maybe you don’t kill someone because they are cooperating with you. Rudy said he brought down the little guys not the bosses. Honor and respect are only when convenient and profitable to those giving it Of course mobsters are patriots they are making their money here!. We’re all humans making choices. It’s all one life. We have to live with our choices. Choose carefully. Be kind
The amount of balls he has trying to bring down the Biden Crime family means even more. Everything Rudy said about Joe Biden is true. Look at Fox News today.
I literally had tears in my eyes watching this interview. What a great restoration that God has orchestrated!! Really really great!!! Thank you for doing this!!! ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Naw like rudy why would you spend the money? With the way trump is deteriorating it appears that trumpo will be placed in a strait-jacket in the not too distant future!

Wow. A sit down w/ a mob boss & the man who tried to put him away for life. This is amazing. Rudy is such a brave man to go after the mob w/ a contract on his head & he knew it !
@@theunholinesswithin70 You shall know them by their fruits. Anyone that thinks forgiveness solves nothing is technically influenced. That's not an insult that is a fact.
Utterly fascinating. The best 25 minutes spent, listening to Micheal and Rudy. And yes, never in a million years would I had thought, it would be possible to hear them together. Nothing in this life is impossible
I absolutely love the way he tell these stories. Provides a visual and almost makes you feel like you were there. Best mafia storyteller ever! Thanks Mr. Franzese.
From beginning to end, this was truly a great interview! What Rudy said about Michael at the end brought tears to my eyes. These were tears of joy for someone who was able to rise above the darkness of a life in organized crime and rebuild his life through the grace of God. "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind, but now I see..." ✝
@@theunholinesswithin70 👏👏👏 This agnostic atheist and "recovering Christian" salutes you. I couldn't have put it better myself. Cheers from central Massachusetts.
@@theunholinesswithin70 You aren't taking something into account. It is the reality of sin being in the world. God who is Holy Holy Holy hates sin and must punish it. You say He hides from His creation. We ought to be glad in a sense He doesn't handle sin when it is committed because we would all be thrown into Hell. Romans 1 says God's power in creation is self evident so much that to dismiss it doesn't make sense. We can know God exists, but we can't know for sure if He loves us or not. That is why He sent Jesus. Jesus lived the perfect life to die for our sins so our sins could be judicially paid for and also so that the sinner can be declared not guilty even though we all are. Blaming God for creating life in the first place makes no sense especially because you can hear the Gospel at any time and be saved.
Great interview, I remember back in the 80’s people were afraid to go to NYC because of gangs and crime. Even many movies were made about the gang violence in NYC. Warriors, The death wish movies were ect. Rudy cleaned it up for sure. Great show thank you Michael.
@@inconnu4961 I think some people get annoyed when Giuliani tries to take most of the credit. Another interesting thing I read was that couple of years before the crime went down, they removed all the lead water pipes from public housing.
This was the meeting i didn't know i needed in my life..just WOW... and the forgiveness and understanding between these two is EPIC...I struggle with my faith and understanding is a struggle, but for Michael to talk and even laugh with Rudy after he sent him away for 10 years is amazing, and you can see its not fake, Both sides are so good.
We NEED Mike and Rudy to have a conversation without a mediary. I'd love to hear their own Q & A, interacting between only the two heavyweights on opposite sides of the fence in their pasts. How awesome it would be for Mike and Rudy to sit down over a dinner and just talk. Wow!
Each of these men are GENTS! Ithink each forgot at some point, for split seconds, that they were enemies & that thousands of people were watching! Thank you to all involved! Absolutely flawless moderation as well!
This is what Jesus can do for people, two high profile former mortal enemies, now in reconciliation and mutual respect, I'm so blown away by this!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@designstudio8013 Michael Frazese believes it, I believe it, you can't speak for Michael's spiritual experience you can think we're all delusional but the result speaks for itself
@@seahawks5725 are you making an assumption or uneducated guess ? Maybe you worked around him and know some insider information. Probably just talking out or your ass. Very fascinating. Please continue sir
Epic! I love seeing families healing finding the truth within Americas history. It’s all our history. We can’t move forward until we heal our country. All our Families. Especially The Main Cities. It’s Key. God Bless you guys. You are truly helping ! God Bless America 🇺🇸 and all the Heritages that enriched the fabric!
Fascinating interview. I’ve Michael on Patrick Bet-David show and knew the story. And I have followed Rudy career and of course, through Trump. I watch Rudy’s podcast occasionally too. I admire both of these men. Thanks for this show.
I was as a young italian boy 97 in NY and my father told me there „a Italian destroyed the mob“ and he spoke about Giuliani! My father gave me as a birthday gift a NY trip because I love the NY atmosphere! :)
Amazing! Michael Franzese is an amazing man. He grew up in a life and now look where he is. Unreal. His channel, story, testimony and intelligence can give so much hope to many. Super smart man and so insightful. Love his content, groundbreaking.
I admire Mr. Franzese very much!! He has really done a 360 in his life. He's a very intelligent man for sure and certain!!! He's a phenomenal listener ( I think that in part, by being in the mob, it taught him how to hone this skill. Not all of it, some of it's his own personality trait as well). I love the fact that he makes no excuses for the things he did in his past, served his time and never went back to "the life". Good for you Mr. Franzese and thank you, always!!!!
I was glued to my screen. The most interesting, fascinating, interview I have seen in awhile I absolutely love and respect Mayor Giuliani. I am intrigued by the opposite lives Michael and Giuliani led that ultimately brought you back together for this epic interview. I would love to see more.❤
So glad to have seen this interview of two of my most favorite men in America. It moved me to see and hear two former adversaries showing such respect and compassion to one another! I pray their friendship strengthens and there is forever peace in their lives. Thank you Rudy, and thank you Michael.
This was by far my favorite sit down, or episode of any platform on RUclips. Thank you Michael for having Rudy on. Your story of redemption is very encouraging, and shown even more powerful through this interview. Great Job👍
totally love your sit down with Rudi..that took guts....giant huge massive guts to sit down with that man considering what he did to you...foregiveness is a wonderful thing indeed.....the narator has a great voice..first time Ive heard him...such a voice...I have one too even doing endless ads on the radio,its pretty good....he puts me to shame I do admit.......LOL
Truly epic! so glad to see that these two guys got to sit down so many years later. I have always respected what Giuliani did for New York and since I have found Michael‘s channel I have developed a lot of respect for him as well. These types of interviews really lead us “regular Joe’s” get inside the minds of these historic personalities! Thanks for doing this!
I get home from work you upload like a man sent from god .....I love the nicknames some men in the life had what was the funniest and or best you ever heard ? Love from the uk Thanks again Adam
This was entertaining and educational. To have two senior people who are both big names in what they do speaking to each other about what happened back then is brilliant.
Do people understand what type of man and how difficult this probably was for Michael? Imagine talking to a guy who put you in prison and you hated more than anyone in the world years ago. This shows me how tough of a guy Michael is way more than anything in he did in the mob. I enjoy his videos so much and hope he continues to do these forever.
Mr franzese, I'm sending my love and respect to you and your loved ones, great to see you doing positive things in your life. I've been down a troubled road also and people like you give me inspiration to do better in life.....much RESPECT coming from Arizona
This "sit down" with Giuliani was some of the best content so far. Very interesting. Now if that Sammy Gravano sit down can happen as well, it will probably be the most interesting and significant event to happen involving Cosa Nostra since the 80's and 90's.
Loved this interview...all 2 parts. I listen to Joe regularly...he is such a good interviewer...and I am happy Rudy and Michael were able to catch up on the past and understand each other now much better.
Hey mike love from east tennessee here. Thank you for everything you do and all that you stand for. I hope for the day that i am able to meet you weather its in this life or in heaven. You are truly a great person and i take your life advice to heart. Thank you sir.

a clear demonstration of how, even when on opposite sides of the spectrum, men of honor and respect conduct themselves. Thanks again Mr. F!
So Mote It Be!
Safe travels to the east.
@ The Narrator 🙏
Wow. A sit down w/ a mob boss & the man who tried to put him away for life. This is amazing. Rudy is such a brave man to go after the mob w/ a contract on his head & he knew it !
This RUclips channel has helped to keep me sane during the last year or so.
Blessings to Michael and his family all the way from South Africa.
Mr. Franzese has such a respectful presence about him. Great sit down from both sides. This is iconic!
Forgiveness is so beautiful.
@@theunholinesswithin70 You shall know them by their fruits. Anyone that thinks forgiveness solves nothing is technically influenced. That's not an insult that is a fact.
Utterly fascinating.
The best 25 minutes spent, listening to Micheal and Rudy.
And yes, never in a million years would I had thought, it would be possible to hear them together.
Nothing in this life is impossible
I absolutely love the way he tell these stories. Provides a visual and almost makes you feel like you were there. Best mafia storyteller ever! Thanks Mr. Franzese.
From beginning to end, this was truly a great interview! What Rudy said about Michael at the end brought tears to my eyes. These were tears of joy for someone who was able to rise above the darkness of a life in organized crime and rebuild his life through the grace of God. "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind, but now I see..." ✝
Well said GodBless ❤️🙏
@@rustyruss2962 Thank you, and the same to you. 👍👍👍
@@theunholinesswithin70 👏👏👏 This agnostic atheist and "recovering Christian" salutes you. I couldn't have put it better myself. Cheers from central Massachusetts.
🙏🏼 well said, not everyone adapted to change or see better lived longer than Frank . It’s good to see he saw a different way to live his life….
@@theunholinesswithin70 You aren't taking something into account. It is the reality of sin being in the world. God who is Holy Holy Holy hates sin and must punish it. You say He hides from His creation. We ought to be glad in a sense He doesn't handle sin when it is committed because we would all be thrown into Hell. Romans 1 says God's power in creation is self evident so much that to dismiss it doesn't make sense. We can know God exists, but we can't know for sure if He loves us or not. That is why He sent Jesus. Jesus lived the perfect life to die for our sins so our sins could be judicially paid for and also so that the sinner can be declared not guilty even though we all are. Blaming God for creating life in the first place makes no sense especially because you can hear the Gospel at any time and be saved.
Great interview, I remember back in the 80’s people were afraid to go to NYC because of gangs and crime. Even many movies were made about the gang violence in NYC. Warriors, The death wish movies were ect. Rudy cleaned it up for sure. Great show thank you Michael.
I agree . It’s a shame that now the criminals “elected” have taken over that great city .
@@benitomaldonado7080 yes, its a major shame.
I've read that crime in NY had started to decrease before he even became Mayor. Also, crime in the whole of the US was was decreasing.
@@WorldCupWillie Perhaps, but he certainly helped it along and arguably got better results than what would have been realized without him!
@@inconnu4961 I think some people get annoyed when Giuliani tries to take most of the credit.
Another interesting thing I read was that couple of years before the crime went down, they removed all the lead water pipes from public housing.
In person sit down between Rudy Giuliani and Mike in an Italian restaurant would literally break the internet. Just don’t tell Carmine about it
And do a "Candid Camera"....bit ... with Al Pacino walking in un announced!!!!;-)
Well done Micheal....Much Respect...
This was the meeting i didn't know i needed in my life..just WOW... and the forgiveness and understanding between these two is EPIC...I struggle with my faith and understanding is a struggle, but for Michael to talk and even laugh with Rudy after he sent him away for 10 years is amazing, and you can see its not fake, Both sides are so good.
We just witnessed "reconciliation." Thank you, Michael.
We NEED Mike and Rudy to have a conversation without a mediary. I'd love to hear their own Q & A, interacting between only the two heavyweights on opposite sides of the fence in their pasts. How awesome it would be for Mike and Rudy to sit down over a dinner and just talk. Wow!
Indeed! We need just them two asking each other questions. Hope they have a sit down again. .
You're in for a better treat. It's Michael and Sammy sit down feat rudy
@@siddhant... yeah where??
Love it Michael from Denmark
Michael, I am following you from Ethiopia. I am being ministered and inspired by your stories. God bless your kind heart brother.
Awesome interview
Redemption
Great job Joe
Each of these men are GENTS! Ithink each forgot at some point, for split seconds, that they were enemies & that thousands of people were watching! Thank you to all involved! Absolutely flawless moderation as well!
This is what Jesus can do for people, two high profile former mortal enemies, now in reconciliation and mutual respect, I'm so blown away by this!! 🙏🙏🙏
Amen amen amen!
💯
No Mr Israel.You are in a dream
@@designstudio8013 Michael Frazese believes it, I believe it, you can't speak for Michael's spiritual experience you can think we're all delusional but the result speaks for itself
Rudy was ruthless, even the late Notorious B.I.G. spoke about him being so ruthless on crime activity
Not any more.
Only ruthless on crime because he and his teams broke the fucking rules and laws in and out of order in order to fucking do so!
I know Mayor Giuliani ain't tryna see no black man turn to John Gotti
@@seahawks5725 are you making an assumption or uneducated guess ? Maybe you worked around him and know some insider information. Probably just talking out or your ass. Very fascinating. Please continue sir
2 pac sings about juliani bustin on his N#$@s lol but ya Rudy sure was Ruthless
Epic! I love seeing families healing finding the truth within Americas history. It’s all our history. We can’t move forward until we heal our country. All our Families. Especially The Main Cities. It’s Key. God Bless you guys. You are truly helping ! God Bless America 🇺🇸 and all the Heritages that enriched the fabric!
Fascinating interview. I’ve Michael on Patrick Bet-David show and knew the story. And I have followed Rudy career and of course, through Trump. I watch Rudy’s podcast occasionally too. I admire both of these men. Thanks for this show.
Part One and Part Two are totally EPIC interviews, wouldn't be surprised if both hit over 1 million views. Thanks
Most definitely
I was as a young italian boy 97 in NY and my father told me there „a Italian destroyed the mob“ and he spoke about Giuliani! My father gave me as a birthday gift a NY trip because I love the NY atmosphere! :)
Amazing! Michael Franzese is an amazing man. He grew up in a life and now look where he is. Unreal. His channel, story, testimony and intelligence can give so much hope to many. Super smart man and so insightful. Love his content, groundbreaking.
Well said GodBless ❤️🙏
I admire Mr. Franzese very much!! He has really done a 360 in his life. He's a very intelligent man for sure and certain!!! He's a phenomenal listener ( I think that in part, by being in the mob, it taught him how to hone this skill. Not all of it, some of it's his own personality trait as well). I love the fact that he makes no excuses for the things he did in his past, served his time and never went back to "the life". Good for you Mr. Franzese and thank you, always!!!!
I was glued to my screen. The most interesting, fascinating, interview I have seen in awhile I absolutely love and respect Mayor Giuliani. I am intrigued by the opposite lives Michael and Giuliani led that ultimately brought you back together for this epic interview. I would love to see more.❤
This interview by far one of the best; Michael and Rudy talking together. If you know their past, you will definitely appreciate the interview. 👏👏👏
So glad to have seen this interview of two of my most favorite men in America. It moved me to see and hear two former adversaries showing such respect and compassion to one another! I pray their friendship strengthens and there is forever peace in their lives. Thank you Rudy, and thank you Michael.
This was by far my favorite sit down, or episode of any platform on RUclips. Thank you Michael for having Rudy on. Your story of redemption is very encouraging, and shown even more powerful through this interview. Great Job👍
This is better then anything on TV. All I do is watch RUclips because of this kind of content. 🥂
Most EPIC youtube conversation of 2021! This was legendary, Michael. Thanks
Just when I think I have seen the best sit down ever, this one pops up! GREAT to see these two together...just WOW.
Amazing sitdown Mike! Can't wait for the Sammy the Bull sit-down! Will be the heaviest sit-down in youtube history!!
Now that will be the best !!!
Better be 3 hpurs long like valuetainment
Sammys interview on valuetainment was epic the music the ambiance the setting was beautifully done
@@codylupul5608 that was great man, the music in the background was epic and his way of story telling 🔥🔥🔥
On pins an needles sure Hope it Happens
totally love your sit down with Rudi..that took guts....giant huge massive guts to sit down with that man considering what he did to you...foregiveness is a wonderful thing indeed.....the narator has a great voice..first time Ive heard him...such a voice...I have one too even doing endless ads on the radio,its pretty good....he puts me to shame I do admit.......LOL
Truly epic! so glad to see that these two guys got to sit down so many years later. I have always respected what Giuliani did for New York and since I have found Michael‘s channel I have developed a lot of respect for him as well. These types of interviews really lead us “regular Joe’s” get inside the minds of these historic personalities! Thanks for doing this!
Mr. Franzese I would just like to say that I am proud that you turned your life around God bless you my friend!
These two episodes have been truly facinating. Thanks Michael.
I get home from work you upload like a man sent from god .....I love the nicknames some men in the life had what was the funniest and or best you ever heard ?
Love from the uk
Thanks again
Adam
This was entertaining and educational. To have two senior people who are both big names in what they do speaking to each other about what happened back then is brilliant.
Do people understand what type of man and how difficult this probably was for Michael? Imagine talking to a guy who put you in prison and you hated more than anyone in the world years ago. This shows me how tough of a guy Michael is way more than anything in he did in the mob. I enjoy his videos so much and hope he continues to do these forever.
Mr franzese, I'm sending my love and respect to you and your loved ones, great to see you doing positive things in your life. I've been down a troubled road also and people like you give me inspiration to do better in life.....much RESPECT coming from Arizona
The in-person sit down HAS to happen at Slices restaurant.
This "sit down" with Giuliani was some of the best content so far. Very interesting. Now if that Sammy Gravano sit down can happen as well, it will probably be the most interesting and significant event to happen involving Cosa Nostra since the 80's and 90's.
The things that happen nowadays is amazing. I loved this sit down, I hope they do it again I LOVE the stories they tell. Stay safe everyone
Loved this interview...all 2 parts. I listen to Joe regularly...he is such a good interviewer...and I am happy Rudy and Michael were able to catch up on the past and understand each other now much better.
This exchange right there is perhaps the best thing on RUclips.
It has restored my faith in smart human beings.
Praise God for his salvation that we have the opportunity to enter in to. Thank you Jesus
This is many things at once; bizarre, captivating, insightful, heartwarming and a hundred other descriptions. Nothing less than absolutely brilliant.
I love listening to Rudy wish I could meet him one day such a smart talented guy
Hey mike love from east tennessee here. Thank you for everything you do and all that you stand for. I hope for the day that i am able to meet you weather its in this life or in heaven. You are truly a great person and i take your life advice to heart. Thank you sir.
These are real hard guys...Giuliani is no joke ...he is a legit lawman...Michael is real...very hard men.
Legit lawman who incited a violent uprising at the Capitol on Jan 6. "Let's have trial by combat!" said every gangster.
Wow , fantastic conversation . Genuine respect and humility .
EPIC Unity is Power 💪 That's why not just anyone can make this happen... When people come together it's magical... My respects Michael 🙏 you have a gift. Thank you for sharing this with us
Michael...you said it best, "that was f-ing epic!" Keep the great interviews coming.
that was absolutely beautiful man
