You're right on Michael. The funny thing is that some of these prosecutors and others when asked what they might be doing on the weekend will answer "playing poker with friends". I used to be in a regular poker group that included my counties head prosecutor, and several deputy sheriffs. Guaranteed nobody reported their loss or wins to the IRS. What a joke our government is becoming. Other countries are definitely laughing about it, and taking advantage also of our weakness.
@@macyas629 No
Yeah!
You're absolutely right Mr. Franzese. Taxed from the the moment we take our 1st breath and last. Then our families are taxed on anything and everything they've inherited in one way or the other. 💔💔💔
I wish the mob was in charge of casinos again, we actually win once in a while and get better comps LOL. The mob was more fair than this freaking government
FACTS!!!
The government is worse than the mafia. At least they have a code.
Did you notice how states are making marijuana legal? If the state can make money off a drug or gambling game they are good with it. Theres nothing more vile than an government official.
And you actually Felt Safer in Those Casinos Because the Mob didn't put up with any Shady Shit (Irony). Going on..
I remember my grandfather telling me when he went to Vegas during the mob run days. the casinos were immaculate and classy . The pit bosses handed out free rooms and buffets like nothing .
now you're lucky to get a bagel if you lose $500 at blackjack
Michael you hit the nail on the head, there’s tremendous hypocrisy at high levels of the government and in our system. I think that most people would agree with everything you said in this video. Nice work 👍🏼
Thank you for speaking your mind and speaking out against the corruption we are facing in America.
God bless
Yeah corrupt republicans everywhere
Michael I have said this before and I’ll say it again “the reason the government hates stealing. They hate competition”.
Thank you for breaking down this news article
Man I don't usually comment , but I really appreciate you Michael ,your a good man with a good heart , even when you were in that life ,God has blessed you a second time and I'm glad you took advantage of it , amen👑🙏
Such a good man who killed stole and lied. Fanboy
@@jl4183 lol would hate to be you , don't you know we've all basically sinned ? You can ask for forgiveness if you really changed and he did . So plz if your going to be a clown , happily go to Twitter .
@@jl4183 only god can judge you are not entitled to do it
Hahaha you had me at “you’re”
1- there are different degrees of sin genius
2- oh wow the “only god can judge” god is santa clause for grown ups.
The cream of the crop here 😂
@@michaelfranzese thanks for the reply , seriously needed this , may God bless you and you have yourself a wonderful day.
Just ordered your book Michael! I've bought every book you've written and found them to be very insightful. Can't wait to read it. Oh, and you are spot on with the problems in this country right now...
Not to many years ago we used to have family poker games on weekends and friends were invited that was the good old days, thanks Michael for bringing back those memories
I'm glad you bring these truths to the surface! Surprisingly many people do not realize these things are happening in our country. Thanks for speaking on these issues.
I totally agree with you. The times we live in are crazy. What was once called, "evil" is now considered acceptable and good. What was once called, "good" is now considered non-essential or bad. God Bless!
Welcome to America,were wrong is revered and you are punished for doing right,fucking unbelievable I swear.
100% Mike, I've never seen the government this openly of control and corrupt.
I've read mafia democracy the best read I had in years
Glad your using your platform to make people aware and hopefully wake some people up to whats going on in this country!!
For years I've been going to a private home poker game. The homeowner advertises his home that features a game room/basement on Airbnb. Pretty slick workaround to the "taking a cut" issue.
that's pretty smart.
I just play warhammer 40K. I’m just as broke but I don’t gotta worry about playing in public lmao
My adult daughter works retail in a suburb of Nashville, TN. Employees can’t stop blatant shoplifters. They’re loud, they threaten to sue while stealing if a manager tries to stop them. That or they threaten to go to their car, come back and kill anyone who tries to stop them, including customers.
The stores don’t even call the police. For $1,000, they don’t want to lose a day of work. They know the criminal is going to walk anyway. It’s a cost of doing business. Unless security is armed, it’s pointless. If they are armed, the store will get sued if one of these spit globs gets injured.
Brick and mortar stores compete with all the big corporations who cleaned up during Covid. They’ll be happy to see these businesses fail. Then their employees can work for Amazon. Infuriating.
The government hates competition. That's why they outlawed gambling for everyone except them, ie lottery
Exactly! That's why they went after the mob to begin with! - RICO was all about just that
When you say government do you mean State or Federal?
@@neils5819 Yes !
Michael is a man of compassion and vision.
I'm with you, Michael. A nice hour or two at the tables - once in a while - ain't no big whoop. Sounds relaxing and enjoyable to me - as long as you can "afford to lose."
Same as " investing " in the stock market or any everyday business dealing - never put up more than you can afford to lose .
Just like drinking; know your limits and stick to them. Be responsible!
Well, that's the point. Many people dont or can't play with only what they can afford. Mob gambling dens are not just about the games. They're also about loan-sharking and then extortion once you can't pay them anymore.
@@TheBearBiffo That's what my grandfather said long ago.
I live in NJ so I've never experienced about not being able to go to a Casino and enjoy some table games.
Thanks for sharing Michael! I agree 100% with everything you said. This country is in serious trouble. Be safe as well and God Bless you and your family!
This is your best work, Michael. I’d gladly take the ‘mob’ running illegal gambling operations than what we have now in our cities. Thank you for putting this two tiered justice system on blast.
The mob actually kept the streets under control
I think Liz Warren was on to something btw. If folks bought that she was part Indian she could of own a Casino. Any how there's so many loopholes to gambling like being part of a Native tribe or go on a Casino cruise line you legally have full rights. But if your on U.S territory in which its banned tough luck.
Michael speaks TRUTHS without ever coming off as smug or arrogant, but humble and passionate instead.
I’d take old school organized crime over the mess that is 21st crime any day of the week. At least with the mob we were honest about the amount of corruption in everyday society.
Mafia >>>> Street thugs “ Gangstas “
Wasn't New York still a piece of shit during the 60s, 70s, and 80s until Giuliani cleared out the streets in the 90s? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since I wasn't alive then but seems like the Mafia wasn't all that effective at keeping the streets safe. I like reading old crime reports and watching videos about organized crime after doing so for years I realize these guys are all basically the same, only difference is now there's cameras everywhere.
@@VenDettaEDITZ unrelated to old school vs new school.
“We” LMAO🤣🤣🤣
I think you’re suffering from recency bias. A lot of lives were affected by the mob. A lot.
Agree 100% on everything you said in this video. Coming from another Italian American named Mike.
What a time to be alive when we can sit down( kind of) with a real mob boss & sometimes interact! It's a little mad really! Keep the vids coming Michael, it's aways fascinating!
he was caporegime, not a boss
@@Tashyncho-Sapa-CEKTAHT OK Mr. Pedantic.
Yeah, what an honor! Smdh
I like to listen to you. However Trump disgusts me to the depths of my soul. He is a con artist pure and simple and you have to know that. I am not defending corrupt politicians of any party. Trump caused his own grief by his arrogance ignorance and narcissism.
@@Tashyncho-Sapa-CEKTAHT A Capo is still a boss. Think of them as being like a store manager. They have a set of people that answer to them.
My Auntie had Friday Night Bingo, in a backroom, of a building (in the 60s) she managed. She sold the bingo cards to the players...looking back on it she was running illegal bingo games as a side hustle. May she rest in peace.
Depending on how she votes, then yes they would send an FBI raid on her and destroy everyone's life and family at her party.
Protect this man at all costs, nothing but the truth👌
Thank you, Michael, for your perspective. I’m reading your book and appreciate your insights especially on how certain factions of government use extortion in the same way the mafia did/does but get away with it because they represent government. Spending resources eradicating gambling although it’s legal in so many states is just a slight of hand to disguise how they’re letting us down by ignoring crime on the streets and in our communities. Your comparisons are so eye-opening! God bless you!
Great reporting of the real problems we face. People will argue, but you are 1000% correct. You truly are a stand up guy Michael. Outstanding commentary!!
Thank you Mike, this needed to be said. Specifically the part about Hunter Biden.
Always great content Michael..God bless you and your family
You hit the nail on the head with just about everything you said... well done - I hope you keep spreading this message!
Great video Michael. You should do a sitdown with Molly Bloom. She set up poker games in Hollywood. Dealt with celebrities and mobsters. Made a lot of money too.
Mike as always I love your sit downs and your opinions on things. Your the BEST. I can't wait until you hit a million followers.
I would love to meet Mr. Franzese. He's so intelligent, sharp and grounded. You could learn a lot from this man.
yep! quite the well-rounded figure of what you describe...amazingly so! thx
I agree 100% Michael. Keep up the great work 👍🏾
Spot on dude 🤑
Could not have said it better myself , well said FACTS !
I live part-time on Manhattan's Upper West Side, and every time I go back, I just can't believe the general breakdown going on in the neighborhood. It's getting like the '70s all over again. The drug addicts are hiding in the stoops of the brownstones at night, waiting to jump you as you walk by. You can't even go to the park anymore without worrying about getting stabbed. And forget about jumping on the subway to go downtown. It can be your last ride. Just three years ago, you could walk the streets at 3 in the morning without any problems. You're definitely right, Michael. This new social dilemma we're all in is way bigger than some poker game at a guy's house in Valley Stream!
I doubt that you are even from NY
Wow. Thanks for this testimony. I saw mobs of people beating up Hassidic Jews because of their political choice. Communism truely is causing suffering.
I really honestly can’t believe that nobody’s doing anything about all this stuff that’s happening in this world today. I hope you can make some kind of a difference, I really hope and pray that you’ll be able to to help bring this attention to the right people. Keep on doing what you’re doing geri
Michael, this is nonsense, this country has no focus on what's good and right, I hope we can hopefully dig ourselves out of the mess we are in.
God Bless You 🙏
I am completely with you. There is a big difference. And justice comes in a different way than what they perceive
I agree Michael. We have had several politicians lately who've done insider buying of stocks and not a word said. Most of these politicians are as corrupt as any mobster. Mafia Democracy is a fantastic read. Only fixed poker games should be illegal. Poker is on TV all day it seems. God Bless you!
Good point! Pelosi and her drunk husband are a more imminent danger to society than the mob.
Being a Brit I found simple buying stuff from a shop strange in the states. Items are not as advertised because it doesn't include the tax. Recently I had an American have a go at me for our VAT in the UK like it was a bad thing when all it means is the Value Added Tax for any item bought from a shop or store is added before you buy. If something is advertised as £9.99p that's exactly what you pay at the till. No extra tax on top of the advertised price. Maybe it's just a cultural difference but it makes more sense to me.
Big talk ..Thank you for highlighting this Mr Franzese much love from England
I'm reading your book, Mafia Democracy. The more I read the more I strongly dislike our Government. Thank you for writing this book 😊
Good to see you back Michael I hope you're enjoying uk, I miss most of your videos but glad that I didn't miss it.
@Michael Franzese: I agree Michael that more serious crimes are occuring all over our Country than just Poker Games. Also thanks for answering My Question that The Five Families don't Fight and Kill each other after The Castalamare War! Thanks for sharing as always Michael!!😁👍👋
I recently retired after 32 years as a Police Officer. I 100% agree with your thoughts on this. The system is completely screwed up. Local, State and the Federal Government are messed up bad. The Liberal Policies in regards to crime are not working.
None of the policies work. All your people support is mass incarceration.
Michael, you are so right about the whole situation in our country! People should stop talking about their hate or support for certain personalities/politicians, and THINK (for crying out loud) about the principles that our society is build on.
I'm glad that someone makes people aware. Almost all governments in the world operate the same way. We should all unite from all countries and chase away the current political elite.
Greetings from Poland.
Until we get rid of politicians. Especially Career politician's nothing will ever change .Politics is decisive by nature and they play on it every single day of our lives.
Devisive by nature .
We must destroy the elites
Mr.Franzese, You are 100% correct!!!!!!!!!
Love this guy..very very true..i live in vegas..and vegas loves the gambling scene
Hey Michael, another great video making people "AWARE" of who is TRULY RESPONSIBLE for the crimes being committed out there.
Right on point Michael! They just recently opened up another Casino in Sacramento and it probably like the 5th one in the area and Law Enforcement cares about this? Also I would really like to hear you do a show on The Ndranghetta it probably the most powerful Mafia in the world now with Russian Mafia and Cartels and what is going on with the takeover In Toronto Canada of the Rizzuto Family! Great work God bless you and your Amazing Wife and family!👏👏👏
I would be more upset over the deadly drugs coming over the border looking like candy then a darn poker game. Btw if they are upset over that they why not legalized it and everyone could get involved in that business. Like booze Gangsters will always find ways to profit off laws that criminalizes normal behavior.
@@michaelfranzese I agree 💯 % with you. This is a distraction from the Real Crimes that are going on, especially here in NYC.
Thank you for your help with showing us the other side of the story, so to speak. Looking forward to reading all of your books.
May God Bless You and Your Family Always 🙏❤️🙏.
The Ndrangheta definitely isn’t the strongest in the world, most people didn’t know much of their power comes from the Mexican Cartels supplying them drugs, CDS specifically. There was actually a huge operation I forgot the name of that showed how much drugs CDS was supplying with them and that CDS was all over Europe. What’s crazy is that I was just saying how is their a new casino opening up!? I live like 40 min from Elk Grove which is the Casino you are talking about and I’m like how is this just Native American land out of nowhere? It makes absolutely no sense.
the albs run europe and the uk with complete control of the coke trade
@@michaelfranzese If You're still in England you should get in touch with Professor Anna Sergi from Essex University. She's an expert on the Mafia. Her book called chasing the Mafia has sold out in the UK and Europe, and she's been doing interviews recently with RUclips content creators. She good Mike and your viewers would love it.
Isaiah 5:20-21. Authorities are only as good as their beliefs to do good. Best commentary ever.
In this day and age there are things way worse than the mafia and I love the fact that the government can can go after the mob but can't crack down on the actual crime rate in the cities but they put in the effort to stop gambling.
The government doesn't really care about violence. They only thing the really care about is money. Thats why they went after the mob so hard because they make alot of money. They rarely go after black and Hispanic gangs and it's messed up cause they kill women and children and there always shooting someone but they don't make big money atlest not all of em so the government could care less
That's because the only answer is mass incarceration of tons of poor people who are committing robbery. You can't argue for prison reform like Michael here used to do at least and support incarceration of vast amounts of poor people. You are also going to have to pay more in taxes for that.
@@B_baldy Oh yeah there's just so many great options out there. Michael here is a convicted felon. How many people like you want to give convicted felons second chances as employees? The hypocrisy is steep. Stop being a sycophant and accept there's no easy answer
@@B_baldy Because that's all that's there, what is in their own community! They're stuck there! If some major corporate headquarters could be knocked over and looted just as easily there's no doubt that would happen instead.
@@B_baldy You are making excuses too. The public schools are not good in so many of these places and you know it. So many people who are born poor with poor families and tough situations are inevitably going to fall into crime at young ages. And with the cost of living so ridiculously high the incentive to work a low paying job is going to be low. You are expecting an unrealistic standard of living for so many people. And your standards will never be met with the way society is now. No easy answers but numerous contributing problems.
This is the only real video in 3 weeks. Shorts are supposed to be fewer than actual videos. This channel is all shorts now.
Michael Franzese, a rare voice of sanity in an insane world. Too many people contrive to remain " ignorant" of the abuses of those in power. Prefer to believe the comforting lie than absorb the painful truth. Same over here in the UK
Yes I agree 👍 💯
100 % on !! Thank you Michael for posting these. Please keep these coming. The public gets great truthful incite from you than all the news services put together. Be well and God bless!
i have become a huge fan over the past few months Michael. I don.t see why leaving 87 billion dollars in tax payer
funded equipment in Afghanistan is a problem I know it makes me want to send the Feds more of my hard earned
money. Anyone else sending the Feds a little extra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find it incredible that a politician from Nassau or Suffolk Counties would talk about corruption, when those two political machines were/are two of the most corrupt in the country. You hit the nail on the head when it comes to bail and criminal justice reform. I feel like I'm in a 3 Stooges episode when Moe says 'Look over there" and hits Curly with a wrench...the misdirection in our political system would be laughable if not so disturbing. Good show. Thank you for sharing Michael.
I heard about this. It was a operations between the Genovese and Bonanno families. But the government does need to take a look at it's self
Wow, when I see him talk like this, I so feel his dad Sonny in him. Sonny is smiling right now so proud,,
Love when you come back your roots Michael,
I may fundamentally disagree with a few of your political viewpoints, however, I wholeheartedly respect your opinions and appreciate you clarifying a few misconceptions we may have from watching too many movies. I'm a student of history and I really appreciate your informative video posts. They're engaging, intelligent, and give me an excuse to escape from my busy life. Thank you for providing us viewers with such rich material. Keep up the great work!
Thank you. You certainly made your point. There are definitely more important issues to focus on.
Stuffs only legal when the government is doing it ,
When someone else does it ,they call it criminal,
I'm from the UK ,where the government are as currupt as anywhere in the world ,during the pandemic,our health minister ,gave the contract for £15m for PPE to a close friend ,
In 2019 One government department gave a multimillion pound contract for shipping ,to a company who didn't have any ships
There's numerous other dodgy scams which have been found out ,
I hate the vandalism and violence that happened in every major city in our country. However, I want the people responsible for 1/6 to be held accountable for their actions too. Peace.
Much more concerned about the street crime we have. Totally agree .. The world has gone mad. We have people that are innocent barricading themselves in their own houses with bars on the windows. They are the prisoners while criminals who should be prisoners are let out of jail with no bail to commit more crime over and over.
You're absolutely correct Micheal and if I disagreed I would say so sir.
The government is force and control.
Most of our taxes goes to overhead. Like 80 to 90 percent.
As long as we have welfare we can't have immigration. Illegal immigration is terrible and the government is running a racket using illegal aliens and sending them in our communities with airplanes.
Hunter Biden should have been in jail. Joe Biden should be too.
They sold out America to the Chinese. Biden has a tattoo that says made in China. 😂😂
They are scared to death Trump will run again and win. He's so popular and not corrupt. ♥️
God bless you and your family and employees and friends sir. ♥️
Lmao. You pathetic shill. If you don't like Biden you need to find someone who represents you who doesn't steal classified documents and acts like he's above the law. It's that simple. If you can't or won't do that little, your agenda is not worth anything either
You are a joke.
Michael has to have the best life of an ex mobster with any significance. Got out of the life in one piece looking as good as any 70 year old, even those who had an easy life. Stay healthy would love to see you in movies I think you’ll be great
Fun fact: When the mob ran Las Vegas, it was the safest and most desirable place to vacation.
You ever hear of Tony Spilotro and the Hole in the Wall gang? Safe and desirable? Sure. As long as yours isn't the house or room they want to rob.
I love this. My grandparents are Mexican immigrants. They did everything by the book and worked harder than anyone I’ve ever met to give my family the life we have. Illegal immigration needs to be stopped, our taxes shouldn’t pay for them to have free handouts that my family worked their butts off for.
Hey Michael! I hope you’re having a great week my friend. God Bless from The Bronx 👊🙏🇺🇸
Very Good Presenter. Very impressive, convincing and captivating.
Michael, You make the most sense out of anyone on these issues I’ve heard yet. I give two rats asses about Gambling!! I won’t however let my wife go to NYC bye herself anymore due to the Crimes on the Streets!!
Michael really hit the nail on the head on this video. 100%...I wouldn't mind paying tax if I knew it was going to a good cause.
Michael,your absolutely right as usual! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You are so correct in your analysis. If I wasn’t disabled and trying to live on 1200 a month, I would like to see you speak in person or buy some of your books. Or buy a subscription.
I wish the mob was back in our streets where we live I think our neighborhoods would be a hell of a lot safer
You couldn’t run for office Michael the establishment to be afraid of you like that afraid of Trump
LOL 😆 I love Michael with the dismissive, "Well that's just dumb. That guy is just stupid."
My parents came from Germany. It took them 5,years to earn their citizenship and they had to take a,written test for rudimentary knowledge of american history. They earned their citizenship
That's great I'm happy for your parents 😊
My parents came from India. My dad had to employ a certain number of American citizens for a certain number of years to become a citizen himself. He saved up every penny and bought a liquor store for $15k (early 70's) and hired a few employees. He got a draft letter to go to Vietnam as an engineer, but the war ended before he got called up. But he was willing to go. The country needs people like our parents. People who love America and are willing to make sacrifices to live here. We have caught Russian spies and ISIS terrorists coming through the southern border. But there are 50k anonymous people coming through every MONTH. We don't know anything about these people.
Can you speak german? Im from germany too.
Which test? Was it the test our High School Grads would fail?
Where are your ancestors from, if you don't mind me asking. You have a Hungarian last name.
Thank god a video and not just a short. Thank you Michael.
as far as taxes and the public being overtaxed..
pick any item in your house, any item at all, then figure out how many times that same item has been taxed. each part, each ingredient, each purchase, each sale, the labor, etc etc.
we've been overtaxed for a long time and they've even taken it further by taxing not only our expenses but also our incomes.
now some people feel good when they get returns on their income tax contribution but those returns are typically money you could have saved yourself and not only that but W2 income tax is an interest free loan to the government, but if you want a loan from the government they want to charge interest.
system is so out of whack and only getting worse, there is no 1 politician or political party to blame either, it's corrupt across the board. pick any politician and start diving, you'll find corruption in some form 9 times out of 10, and the times you don't is just because it hasn't surfaced yet
Well said brethren
Thank you . Keep telling me truth. Our country needs it.

I play poker with my buddies all the time, small stakes. Definitely agree that the gambling issue is blown out of proportions, considering how people legally waste their fortunes in Vegas.
Well said so many people with their eye's closed to what's really happening
SUNY-Albany just had an attempted armed robbery and child abduction yesterday @ 5:15 pm. And college students are coming back for the fall semester. As for the article, the fact that it's the NY Post reporting it makes me ask how much was factual and how much was sensationalized. It's a tabloid rag for a reason.
All I can say is I agree with you Michael.
You are absolutely right. I play poker in a card club here in Germany. There are people from all areas of society and ethnicity. There is a christian minister, a policemen, a criminal investigator, an accounted, doctors, a composer, musicians, engineers, salesmen, a dance club owner, a surgeon, city employees, pensioners, people from 10-15 different countries. It is a peaceful gathering of people who like to play cards and enjoy the company of others, rather than sitting in front of their home TV set or get plastered in a pub. It´s a polite and friendly atmosphere. In a decade I have never encountered any sort of violence or aggression. Still, it is not entirely legal but seems to be quietly tolerated.
I fully agree with you Mike, here in Poland we have strict law about gambling for about 10 years now, and before that we had local tournaments regularly, just a buy in and a prize pot, what harm did it do to anyone?
If it's fun and games it's good but most of the time people try to make money of it or get addicted and that can ruin families. I've seen it first hand
Another fantastic well spoken and delivered video Michael - you are leaps and bounds above the others - please keep them coming they are so appreciated - best wishes from England.
Thank you for all of your content Michael and all the hard work as well. God bless you and your family.
Spot on Mike! I've been following you since July-August of 2020 and your videos are always inspiring and informative. I've got a copy of Mafia Democracy but haven't read it yet. (I'm still struggling through The Prince, which I wanted to read first.) I've got something big coming up in about a week and a half, Total Knee Replacement Surgery followed by a few months of recovery then we're having the other knee replaced. It's weighing on me but I do find inspiration in your videos.
I’d love to buy his book but right now I can barely put gas in my car and feed my kids. Life has been much tougher since Jan of 2020….
Thank you Michael. You're absolutely right. God bless you and your Family
Love your channel and the way of conveying your message,, May God bless you all,, greetings from the other side of the World🙏
I remember I tried to stop two shop lifters in Nordstrom Rack one time and almost got run over in doing so and I was told that Security can't even stop them once they leave the store. They will just chalk it up to loss prevention and have it as a write off. They thanked me for what I did, but had I gotten hurt they wouldn't of paid for any of my injuries because I took it upon myself to try and stop them.
A former mafia capo has to speak in a politically correct way, the times we're living in...
Totally agree with you Michael, but... A Don never wears shorts. Never, never, never...
