Rudy admitting that he told Michael's lawyer he could do a 100 years in court and them both laughing about it decades later when he would of STILL been in jail if he actually got that many years is crazy..
Michael having a civilized conversation with someone who was threatening to put him in prison for maybe the rest of his life is a prime example of a true Christian spirit! Thanks for the sit down!
@@haldir3120 business with life n death consequences.. its glossing over it to say it was just business . There is a reason there are white collar prisons.. haha
@David Lee uhhh in prison for what exactly? He’s a lawyer bro. He defends people for a paycheck. Just because you hate the person he defends doesn’t mean he’s going to prison lol. I really want an honest answer to this, why do you people get so emotional all the time?
When you listen to the real mobsters they all say something similar. That they respected cops and knew they were doing their job, the only time they got heated was when cops lied or planted evidence. Do it within the rules
You're right. Not only is his mic louder than everyone else's but he's also breathing all INTO it. Fucking guy keeps cutting them off and not letting them talk and repeatedly reminds viewers to check out their platform or whatever. Every time he asks questions he conjoins like 3-4 questions in one sentence making it unbearable to even tolerate his voice! This guy ruined the whole thing for me and I'm not even going to watch part 2. P.S.: I'll never watch another video with this guy again.
I agree, and gave my two cents in a comment above. I am not sure if you felt as I did about Pags, or, maybe it was a sense you had that they did not require a middleman.
In this day and age with so much division in our country because of the media and politics. It's very relieving to see a former Mob guy and the man who prosecuted him sit down and have a conversation with each other. #respect
We have been divided because Republicans refuse to accept the results of an election, Trump and his supporters are giving ammunition to the Media because of the stupid shit they keep saying and doing. Trump won in 2016, Democrats accepted it and moved on.
This right here is what you call true growth, to sit down with the man who put you behind bars and admire him and understand what he had to do. It’s amazing to see how much humility Michael has
Wow. I think a majority of people watching this interview don’t realise how significant this really is. Loving the mutual respect between Micheal and Rudy. Great interview.
The fact that he made it clear this was going to be a conversation and not a debate about politics I respect him for that alone not everything has to be about politics
Me too, they need to do another one and tell pags to stop interrupting with a better tech service so there's no delay no 😍excuse. Pags still needed to say much less than he did.
@Jesus Garcia I'm well aware Joe was the host. Unfortunately because of the radio interview format Joe has to keep talking to keep new listeners who may have tuned in during the interview informed on what's going on. But even with that being said a good interviewer shouldn't interrupt the guest unless they have a good reason too. The best interviews I've seen just let the guests talk until they stop talking on their own. You get so much more information that way and the conversation is much more natural.
“A talk between 3 Italian guys…” Yeah Joe, except no one tuned in to hear you cutting into the dialogue every 30 seconds! Man talk about butchering a masterpiece!! I understand the desire to mediate and have a third party to facilitate, and maybe Joe wanted to work his way into the narrative since he put it together being that he had a relationship with both guys but Damn!! Even Joe’s voice is far more overbearing- even abrasive than the other two… just totally killed the rhythm and flow, cut off topics, whereas Michael could have had his usual “sit-down” with Gulianni and brought us into the room with them, where we were listening to amazing tales and visualizing the atmosphere, the courtrooms, the Dons, New York City- from two legends. Please re-do and revisit this one down the line. Absolutely NO disrespect Joe, but 3 is a crowd on this one
rudy like everyone else deserves a chance if he did something wrong with trump. ive never been a fan of "most: attorneys: but prosecutors almost or at least should have the same charter as law enforcement. to put bad evil people behind bars so they can protect good decent people. ..but like rudy just said redemption should be given a chance to people cause not everything is an act. sometimes its REAL. but redemption like anything else MUST be earned and it takes time, time, effort, discipline and most of all the truth cause you can lie to others but you cant lie to yourself and those who lie can only keep that act up for so long before they show their true colors
Michael Franzese: These videos with Mayor Giuliani, Joe Pags as interviewer, and yourself are just awesome in every way ! ( off the charts awesome) I would continue this format if I were u Michael ! Everyone deserves a second chance and maybe , I said maybe , even a third ! Thanku Mayor Rudy Giuliani for giving Michael this second chance and showing him ,compassion, dignity, and respect! Godbless you and yours as well. I was at Ground Zero when you were there Mayor Giuliani ! Thank u for your service to great state of New York, and to this great country sir!
I dont think it's going to happen as they dont know each other directly and Sammy openly doent believe Michael's transition to Born Again Christianity🙌 also Michael just did a podcast with Shaun Attwood who Sammy doesnt seem to think very highly of also! So dont hold your breath my friend!
@@marksimons4108 - It's going to happen. Even if these guys don't like each other or wahtever...it will bring both of them big YT views so, for that reason alone, it will get done.
Michael and Sammy know each other directly . Michael was friends with Gotti and has confirmed knowing Sammy several times , they just dont like each other like that .
I just hope the sit-down with Sammy is going to be face to face sit-down and not a video call or anything cause that would be epic to see a sit-down with 2 legendary people like that from the life
I believe it would be risky for Michael to allow someone to know his whereabouts. I would love to see that as well but I guess the safest way is to have it similar to this.
I think that's 1 of the reasons it hasn't happen yet. I think they'll promo it and wait till they can do it face to face. I hope they do it in the same style/format as it would of been back in the day with two Capo's from different families I hope it's like a 3 part long format, at least an hr per part. It should be epic since they all know the same people and have inside info on all the most famous stories
It took me a good few minutes to pick up my jaw off the floor. AMAZING. Native New Yorker here watching a moment almost my whole lifetime in the making!
This is like one of those clips where you see the American and German WW2 vets speaking to each other 70 years after the war. Even though they were trying to kill each other, they both have a bond in a shared experience and mutual respect.
i asked my godfather, who fought in WW2, he is 100% German, did it ever seem ironic to be fighting against other Germans ? He would have no comparison, i understand, he was American German...but thus same type of situation, to talk years later there is discovery of shared thoughts and dreams
You're a class act Mr. Franzese. From having a HIT on this man to having an interview with him. WOW, you are right Michael, this is a classic! Keep the faith in your heart Sir, it has given you a new lease on life!
@Petey Peter I worded that wrong. Michael did not personally have or give an order. He has stated in the past that there were hits on Rudy from other associates or bosses he dealt with. Sorry about the quote
Michael, I am moved by the mutual respect that each one of you were “doing your job” and it wasn’t personal. I can imagine it felt intensely personal at the time. You are such an inspiration. We’ve all done things we regret but you have proven that we can turn things around with God’s grace and forgiveness. Love your channel. 💕
BOY, This is the best Sit Down I`ve ever been too. Joey Pags, the best thing I`ve seen you do in your whole career. Michael Franzese, the best work you`ve ever done. God bless you both.
Michael, you were one of my hero's as a very young man. I also went down a dark path but thanks to God, I got saved 20 years ago. I'm very proud to be a born again Christian. I'm very happy for you Michael, you're an inspiration to countless people who want to change for the better. I'm hoping to find an opportunity to be a Christian actor.
The moderator talks too much. We don’t need to be reminded of their websites and who they are every 5 minutes either. Would have been better with just Mike and Rudy.
@@matthewdegiacomo7707 lol, what? Sammy has a RUclips channel and talks just as much as Michael. He's not a made guy anymore, broke the oath. Unlike a lot of other people though, I don't blame him, not even a little.
I agree. He’s a radio guy who is in love with the sound of his own voice. Michael is a great interviewer because he lets people talk. This is a constant aggravation of stopping progress.
This sit down reminds me just how short life is. I was a teen when Giuliani was going after Michael. Here we are in what may as well be the blink of an eye and the two of them are exchanging pleasantries. Crazy.
This is a pretty epic discussion about two head figures in their field of work discussing about their times fighting against each other. Cool nugget in history we are witnessing.
Hi, Michael. Thank you for your sitdowns. Exceptional interviews/discussions, gripping content, solid production and delivery, and so importantly, conveyance of honesty and dedication to your craft.
Michael, Another great video. You're certainly a piece of American history and whether it's your past or how you live currently you've inspired me more than you know. Continued success and thanks for the amazing content.
A very candid and honest interview from the perspective of both sides. This is why I have subscribed to this channel. True authenticity in real life and it shows that it was never anything personal....it was strictly business. The government did what it had to do and the the five families did what they had to do. In the end, two men recognized it for what it was and came together to share their mutual stories and give the audience a personal perspective not normally seen or known in the main stream media. Thank you Mr. Franzese and Mr. Giuliani.
Michael, epic part 1 of the interview. Thought Pags did a great job keeping keeping the conversation flowing. Once again, thank you for your message of Gods grace & an example of redemption. Love you brother.
I used to see Mayor Giuliani at Da Nico’s restaurant on Mulberry Street in little Italy and five tables away were mob guys. Ruddy would say hello to the mob guys they would say hello and have diner. The mob guys understood that Rudy had a job to do seems like there wasn’t any animosity toward each other.
Depends when. Pretty sure Fat Tony Salarno had a contract out on Rudy. Rudy was a constant thorn in his side. Americas greatest mayor, god damn I wish he would save NYC again.
@@Tj11813 🤭😆😂😂 If he had worked for the Mob, then it wouldn't be so hard for them to find something to prosecute President Trump for. Five years later, multiple investigations, multiple attorneys and prosecutors and they have nothing! For years they have been trying to get a hold of his tax returns, not because they are investigating an actual crime but because they are digging and trying to find a crime, something they can go after President Trump for. The latest joke of an investigation is obviously entirely a set up to threaten some of the biggest employees of the Trump organization into telling them something they can go after President Trump for. They want to fry the big fish and how many times have they gone after little fish to get to the big fish? Forget about the Clinton Mafia and the Biden Crime Family who have been in the business of corruption and commiting crimes for decades. Who have never built anything or made anything to earn their wealth honestly. But instead milked off of the government (tax payers) and sold their political influence to the highest bidder from across the country and from around the world. When you learn of just some of the things they have done, President Trump is a Saint compared to them. I wish you the best and hope that you will have the eyes to see the truth one day.🙏❤️✌️🗽🇺🇲
Rudy is so smart and interesting to listen to when he's talking about legal/mob stuff, you get the feeling he enjoys talking about this kinda stuff much more than talking about politics. He should do a podcast where he just tells mob/prosecution stories, it'd be fascinating
Never in a thousand years would I have ever expected to see a show like this wow.....this is a game changer can't wait to see Sammy and Michael in a sit down.....huge show that will be.
Goes to show how things can change - radically. What Michael Franzese has done with his life in miraculous and he managed to find redemption. Incredible story. A lot of people forget what Giuliani did when he was mayor of New York, but he was a great mayor.
What a great idea for a sit down. After all the years of being adversarial and being on opposite ends of the game, to have a conversation like this is so valuable in so many different ways.
can't believe this interview happened...WOW the world is changing.. and shame on you for leaving us HUNGRY like that... looking forward to part two, and part 3 if you got it.
They hadn't see each other in 37 years and they were enemies. I think he's acting as a mediator to keep things amicable. Plus Pags is Rudy's long time friend, so it's good to have a familiar face.
I thought rudy giuliani talked to much and no one else could get a word in . The interviewer couldn't even ask a question because giuliani was talking . He couldn't ask Michael franzese a question because of rudy giuliani talking
Michael, thank you for all of the incredible content that you are putting out... I’m getting so much from your messages. I have to be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to watching this, because of the political fallout with Rudy Giuliani at the moment, but I’m so grateful I did. It so good to see him in rare form and in his element. Looking forward to part two. Many blessings to you and your family. Keep up the fantastic work. Nick
"- so was there any talk about getting rid of Rudy? - yes there was TO BE CONTINUED" what? it can't end like this! isn't that illegal or something?! come on!
man this interview brought tears to my eyes. its hard to believe you hold no ill will towards a man who put you away. i hope i can be more like you Mr. Franzese
I’m so accustomed to the face to face sit downs between Patrick and Michael….that having a 3rd person kind of ruins it. I think he inserted himself way too much, Michael would have done a better job 1 on 1 with Rudy.
I think a mediator was appropriate for this situation...I agree he did insert himself too much like he was trying to tell his own story...there was room for improvement but he did well
totally agree, the interview with Joe Pistone was fantastic because it was just them talking over their experience in that era of the life, we've got this guy intervening asking really broad question that micheal has already answered talking about himself and his family not a very gracious host.
@@JohnKes88 I think this was strategic, they don't want giulani being chummy with an ex mobster when. Not sure when this was filmed but. Either way I don't care for the interview style..
This is the most crazy thing. No one 37 years ago could ever imagine this.
Next time for Michael sit down with Donald trump. Make it happen rudy!!

THAT ENDING😱 mad respect to the respect shown by all participants in this convo
What a great interview. Legendary.
Michael, epic part 1 of the interview. Thought Pags did a great job keeping keeping the conversation flowing. Once again, thank you for your message of Gods grace & an example of redemption. Love you brother.
Wow, I'm really starting to love these Sit downs😳❤
Micheal looking forward for more of your sitdowns
I used to see Mayor Giuliani at Da Nico’s restaurant on Mulberry Street in little Italy and five tables away were mob guys. Ruddy would say hello to the mob guys they would say hello and have diner. The mob guys understood that Rudy had a job to do seems like there wasn’t any animosity toward each other.
Great comment!
If it was a motorcycle gang , I wonder how the gang would feel about Rudy ?
@@Jay-vr9ir exactly, the guinea has no integrity.
Facts
Depends when. Pretty sure Fat Tony Salarno had a contract out on Rudy. Rudy was a constant thorn in his side. Americas greatest mayor, god damn I wish he would save NYC again.
I'm addicted to these interviews! This truly is the best one yet. It's an inside view from both parties. Thanks.
You're such a tease, Michael! Looking forwards to part two!
Never in a million years would u think guiliani would be sitting down to shoot the breeze with the mob 😂😂🇺🇸
He worked for the mob the past four years.
@@Tj11813 🤭😆😂😂 If he had worked for the Mob, then it wouldn't be so hard for them to find something to prosecute President Trump for. Five years later, multiple investigations, multiple attorneys and prosecutors and they have nothing! For years they have been trying to get a hold of his tax returns, not because they are investigating an actual crime but because they are digging and trying to find a crime, something they can go after President Trump for. The latest joke of an investigation is obviously entirely a set up to threaten some of the biggest employees of the Trump organization into telling them something they can go after President Trump for. They want to fry the big fish and how many times have they gone after little fish to get to the big fish? Forget about the Clinton Mafia and the Biden Crime Family who have been in the business of corruption and commiting crimes for decades. Who have never built anything or made anything to earn their wealth honestly. But instead milked off of the government (tax payers) and sold their political influence to the highest bidder from across the country and from around the world. When you learn of just some of the things they have done, President Trump is a Saint compared to them. I wish you the best and hope that you will have the eyes to see the truth one day.🙏❤️✌️🗽🇺🇲
I would not surprising.
@@PatriotMommy disagree wait til you become a target of trump he not squeeky clean. Truth surfaces eventually
@@Tj11813 Michael got out of the life and Rudy is now in the trump crime family and paying the price lmao
Michael Franzese, Larry Lawton, and Sammy never cease to amaze me with their stories. I hope they keep it up god bless!
Joe Pags has such a smooth voice. I could listen to him talk for hours. Great interview!
He completely ruined this interview buttin in
Rudy is so smart and interesting to listen to when he's talking about legal/mob stuff, you get the feeling he enjoys talking about this kinda stuff much more than talking about politics. He should do a podcast where he just tells mob/prosecution stories, it'd be fascinating
Excellent. Very interesting to see both sides brought back together and for them to compare notes afterwards.
These sequels are getting crazier and crazier.
Amazing to be able to witness this. Truly incredible to me. Thanks for this amazing content.
Omg !!! This is one of the best videos I've ever watched and I love hearing your stories Michael but I would love to hear Rudy talk for hour and hours
Rudy is a fuckin looney tune
Clearly lives in your head Jeremy. 😂 cnn brainwashing has worked wonders on you.
I’m 2 thirds into this and I’m dying for Michael for bring up his father being framed!
“Yes there was” - interview ends. Im like, hey, you cant end like that 😂 Epic interview Michael 😁
@@michaelfranzese I found it just after i wrote the comment. Thank you for the awesome content 🙏🏼
Grew up in Gravesend bklyn Ave U in a Much NICER time. Im Realy Diggin ALL this stuff! God Bless....
Never in a thousand years would I have ever expected to see a show like this wow.....this is a game changer can't wait to see Sammy and Michael in a sit down.....huge show that will be.
hopefully itll be soon soon
They could legit do Pay Per View for that.
You never fail to disappoint Mr Franzese! Thanks to Mr Giuliani too!
Goes to show how things can change - radically. What Michael Franzese has done with his life in miraculous and he managed to find redemption. Incredible story. A lot of people forget what Giuliani did when he was mayor of New York, but he was a great mayor.
Rudy Rudy!! 😂🇺🇸 Have a great weekend Michael! God Bless from The Bronx 🙏
Always Michael!!
I truly enjoyed this, thanks to all 3 of you for doing this. 👍
What a great idea for a sit down. After all the years of being adversarial and being on opposite ends of the game, to have a conversation like this is so valuable in so many different ways.
can't believe this interview happened...WOW the world is changing.. and shame on you for leaving us HUNGRY like that... looking forward to part two, and part 3 if you got it.
Joe Pags adds nothing to the interview. Michael & Rudy having a free flowing conversation would've been ideal.
I agree.
Pags is making sure his presence is felt. "I don‘t want to talk over anybody" yet,he does this quite often
They hadn't see each other in 37 years and they were enemies. I think he's acting as a mediator to keep things amicable. Plus Pags is Rudy's long time friend, so it's good to have a familiar face.
Great video, for all involved. Thanks Michael and Rudy, and Pags!
Boy, this Sit Down was an epic success...
AWESOME
The interviewer always jumping in was obnoxious but loved to see a reunion of sorts like this between Michael and Rudy
He's got those old media instincts...but he did keep it moving.
I thought rudy giuliani talked to much and no one else could get a word in . The interviewer couldn't even ask a question because giuliani was talking . He couldn't ask Michael franzese a question because of rudy giuliani talking
He explains why that happens.its due to the time-lag delay
So like...did you want no direction in conversation? Have you ever seen an interview, ever?
Michael, thank you for all of the incredible content that you are putting out... I’m getting so much from your messages. I have to be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to watching this, because of the political fallout with Rudy Giuliani at the moment, but I’m so grateful I did. It so good to see him in rare form and in his element. Looking forward to part two. Many blessings to you and your family. Keep up the fantastic work. Nick
Wow!!....Michael, the connection you have....This is incredible, I'm speechless....
Jesus this content is on another level.
Very interesting meeting between Michael and Rudolph. Greetings from Buenos Argentina 🇦🇷👋👋
This was an amazing sit-down!! Keep them coming & God bless
This is something I never thought I'd live to see!
Great interview. It would’ve been better if it were just Rudy and Michael though.
"- so was there any talk about getting rid of Rudy?
- yes there was
TO BE CONTINUED"
what? it can't end like this! isn't that illegal or something?! come on!
Does anyone else think Michael looks so much scarier than the other guys on screen... He looks so serious like a super villain mob boss lol
He does look more serious here
It’s the lighting
Scary? No. Best looking by far? Yes.
Michael is handsome
That's because he is lol
man this interview brought tears to my eyes. its hard to believe you hold no ill will towards a man who put you away. i hope i can be more like you Mr. Franzese
He beat the case. Rudy failed to put him away.
I can't believe Mike is having a sitdown with the very man that put him on trial. 😭
Because they're both reasonable Americans who could put their past behind them.
@@shanekeenaNYC Absolutely.
Wait, Giuliani did that?
Did he really take on the mob?
@@beatlecristian that’s how he became mayor
@@damnbadger8242 that’s a new conspiracy theory about President Trump that I’ve heard.
I’m so accustomed to the face to face sit downs between Patrick and Michael….that having a 3rd person kind of ruins it. I think he inserted himself way too much, Michael would have done a better job 1 on 1 with Rudy.
I agree the third guy totally ruins the format...
I think a mediator was appropriate for this situation...I agree he did insert himself too much like he was trying to tell his own story...there was room for improvement but he did well
totally agree, the interview with Joe Pistone was fantastic because it was just them talking over their experience in that era of the life, we've got this guy intervening asking really broad question that micheal has already answered talking about himself and his family not a very gracious host.
@@JohnKes88 I think this was strategic, they don't want giulani being chummy with an ex mobster when. Not sure when this was filmed but. Either way I don't care for the interview style..
@Jason Castro. Agree. Maybe we got spoiled with Michael's one on one sit downs. In this case I suppose we take what we can get.
From watching Michael’s videos and learning more about him, I sense that he has always had a good heart, even back when he was living the mafia life.
