A guy name Murray Humphreys who was with The Chicago Outfit was the one who discovered the 5th amendment's application to the senate hearings. It had been used in court before but even Bobby Kennedy thought it did not apply outside of court and the mobsters would have no choice and nothing to hide behind. He once had a judge give Giancanna immunity which meant that he couldnt plead the 5th against self incrimination because he was immune and therefore had to answer or go to jail and off to jail he went. Giancana was blown away that Kennedy had figured out a way to take the shield of the 5th from him and put him in the position of having to answer or being jailed for it. Had he known that Kennedy had 70 something Carlos Marcello kidnapped and illegally deported to Honduras where he was dumped in the jungle and nearly died over the next 3 or 4 days of trying to reach any village or help of any kind he wouldve known that Kennedy could play dirty with the best of them. Marcello believed he was going to die after falling for the umpteenth time and breaking several ribs and told the man with him that he wasnt going to make it but the man would make it and for him to tell Marcello brother what that punk did to them and that's what killed him and to tell his brother the last thing Carlos said was do what you gotta do. If you go at Bobby then his brother unleashes the national guard on you but if you go after JFK then Bobby is no more and if it's done quickly with a patsy then a cover up would be necessary because of all that both Kennedy were illegally involved in like trying to kill Castro and bay of pigs disaster and many other dealings with CIA and Joe Kennedys deals with the mob. All those things and more made it impossible for a investigation to publicly uncover the truth without uncovering everything else. Marcello and Hoffa felt it was truly survival and it was or neither wouldve ever considered something as insane as trying to kill a president.
@@joshschaeffer3300 Now this is an incredibly interesting comment. Where did you get all of this? This is the only Kennedy theory I’ve heard that’s actually convincing
The fact that the Gallo crew was willing to back Joey in a second war against the boss of a family, and after he had just gotten released from a 10 year sentence, proves that he should’ve been the boss of a family. You can’t buy that level of loyalty. Edit: On top of commanding the respect of a large crew, the Gallo bro controlled the docks and other small rackets, and never broke Omertà.
On top of that, Joe Colombo deserves it, he deserves to get whacked. He appears on TV, He gives speech in an public rally, he's like John Gotti but 10 times worse...He get's to rule a family because he snitched his Boss Magliocco to Carlo Gambino on the Commission hit (which wasn't explained in the video, because this is the bigger picture). Magliocco and Bonanno conspires against Carlo Gambino and Vito Genovese for betraying *Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello* . Magliocco told Joe Colombo to do the hit, but Colombo informed the commission. Bonanno relocated to Arizona far from NY and the Magliocco were forced to abdicate the "Boss" title to Joe Colombo, giving colombo power over the family...all this *by snitching*. It's really complex, the politics of Mafia. But the balls for Bonanno for standing up against the commission for betraying Luciano though. It's probably Bonanno who approached Gallo and supported the hit against Colombo.
If a mobster has the nickname "crazy" then you know he must be a psycho. After all this nickname was given to him by people who themselves are a bit crazy
"Joey walked arm and arm with socialites actors and singers flocked to him, glimpsing that streak of romantic outlaw homicidal venom wrapped in fearless charm." amazing writing man
Cool seeing you here Milo but to be honest I can't stand watching your channel. Not because it's bad but because it's very good and I'm rational. So watching you put holes in the "theories" I grew up believing is tough 😂 but at the end of the day I must side with you being as though I'm in for truth not entertainment but it never gets easier 😭. Seriously tho both of you please keep them coming 👏👏👏
Yeah...I didn't intend ( due to time restraints ) tuh watch the entire thing but the naration cast a hypnotic trance upon me...and so I gladly enjoyed it all the way thru.
I had a paragraph written, but I deleted it and decided to just say that you are very, very, very good at what you do. Never stop making educational content. I love it.
I feel like it's not talked about enough how effing hard it is to find someone who has a good voice, AND produces good content. Like 50% of all media is unbearable to listen to because of the narrator. And so many channels are copying their speech cadence from channels like watchmojo and buzzfeed and top tens channels...
This was one of the greatest mafia documentaries I've seen! You gotta do more! I've been a mafia doc & book fanatic since middle school. My Mom saw I would actually read books about mobsters & she was happy just to see me reading! 😁
@@HistoryDose if you never heard it, listen to Bob Dylan's "Joey" its about Crazy Joe Gallo. Carmine Galante is a great story that a lot of people have never heard. I could never find a book about him & thought about trying to write one myself. I'm gonna go through some of you other videos. I'm a history nut!
sounds like high-IQ psychopathy rather than schizophrenia. Charming, irreverent toward stifling social conventions like jailhouse racism, well-read, fearless of the consequences of taking on the most violence-prone organization in the criminal underworld, able to inspire belief of others in his eventual success in that project (which requires social skills and short-term planning that would be very challenging for a schizophrenic)
His choice in philosophy…. Particularly Neitzche, is also something to note. Superman, beyond good and evil, and the will to power are 3 titles that very much depict Joey’s attitude to life.
I’m glad to see your uptick in popularity, And I’m really enjoying going through your videos. I prefer your longer ones, so this is one I’m really excited for. Keep up the excellent work 👍👍
My family members who knew Joey Gallo always had their eyes light up and smile with I asked them about him. Never any specifics of course, but you can tell how important people were based on reactions. I could tell this one meant respect.
Another excellent video! I even watched it on my cell phone so I would get some ads, you guys deserve tons of ad revenue! Thank you again for all the hard work.
Very interesting to learn all the history that was in the background of The Irishman, even despite not trying to be 100% historically accurate as far as I know I recognized many of these events just from having seen that movie multiple times
See if you can find a movie named Crazy Joe, pretty good movie with a pretty star studded cast, Eli Wallach, Paula Prentiss, Michele Gazzo and Gabriele Torrei (who were also in The Godfather), Peter Boyle is Joe, Rip Torn is Larry, Henry Winkler and Herve Villechaize, are in it too. I'd also recommend Kiss of Death, the movie that has Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo, the guy that Joe kind of modeled himself off of. In once scene Widmark pushes a crippled woman down the stairs in her wheelchair as a signal to her son, quite a role model. I have both in my library and usually watch them back to back about once a year just because I'm boring that way,
@@HoldenNY22 -- I really have no idea. That's kind of like who was Brando supposed to be a composite of, we can't really know unless the folk who created him tell us.
I love the narration. It’s like you’re having a beer in one of those dank, alley bars. He’s sitting there, lighting his next cigarette with the butt of his last, waves the smoke away, leans in, and says, “Let me tell you how it was…”
I remember the Gallo - Profaci War in the NYC newspapers.(1961). I was in high school, and I knew something about the Long Island City mob. (St Mary's parish). There is a 1970s era movie (JOE GALLO) with Peter Boyle about this period in Mafia history. It's one of my favorite flics.
With a history degree I am able to fully appreciate all that went into this production. Thank you for your due diligence, research, and writing; great!
This isn't even a mafia page.. and yet the content is BY FAR some of the best, most accurate and entertaining content on the NYC mob.👍👍👍💪 You gotta make more of these bro there are a million excellent mob stories to tell! I would LOVE to see some more of those bro!! Excellent excellent video bro. Crazy joe RIP. 😎🙏🙏🙏🙏💥
"hey, are you Joe?" "Yeah, I'm Joe." "I'd like to get into the mob, please." "What's your name?" "Joe." "Alright. This here's my buddy Joe. That's cousin Joe. My brother Joe. Over there's uncle Joe. And that's our boss, Joe."
I like this video. Great production quality, excellent narration. Concise and journalistic; just the facts. Instant sub. We used to hang out by the sign on the corner of Hester and Mott as kids-for a while. Umberto's was a block and a half away. After Gallo, Ma cleared us out to Flatbush. Good times.
Man I think I've watched every mafia documentary over a period of many years and this my man was absolutley one of the best, love the style and telling of the history! I want to see more from you!
You just popped up and I watched the doc on crazy joe now I'm absolutely hooked. You are such a brilliant story teller thank you I'm gonna sub straight away all the best mate from London England 👍🏴
Small details, like the old fashioned music in the background and various sound effects that link to the era of time or situation, really enhance the quality of your content ❤
The Gallo brothers were my grandfather's cousins. I'm 57 years old and I just found out about 15 years ago. Crazy. My name is Gallo. My father was named after Larry.
I feel like joe gallo is some scary killer like candy man.... say his name in the mirror three times I dare you .... Crazy joe, crazy joe, crazy j........ ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Joey was an autodidact, too; I'd be fascinated to hear his discourse on everything he read. Not right to diagnose across time, but meds maybe in childhood. He could have been a slam poet, professor....a monk. Yeah, we went there. Great uploads, gentlemen.,
I found your channel recently, and I enjoy your content. This, however, is truly something special. I would love to see more videos in this style. Maybe there's a few more - I haven't watched all your videos yet!
Thanks! This was a definitely a bit of a style change up for us, and we weren’t sure how it would be received. Thankfully, we’ve had a lot of positive feedback and we are planning to return to the Mafia subject again at some point
Yeah I mean, if he was still in the mob after reading Kant then he probably didn't learn much. Deontology is one of the leading theories of morality today, and this guy didn't seem to really get any more moral (from what this video talks about)
@@TheSteelDialga well Kant's moral theory is debunked and bashed on by most philosophers after Kant but the really interesting question is whether he saw himself as a cultural and revolutionary figure in the way Kant, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer were; and, if he did, to what extent.
Crazy Joe Gallo is a Brooklyn LEGEND and one of the toughest guys that ever came up in the Cosa Nostra. Had balls of an elephant! Started a WAR with the boss Profaci and kidnapped his administration!! Never backed up or backed down from anybody!! Gallo and his brothers were as REAL as it got!!
Great presentation, interviews & story telling. My great uncle Frank Breheney hd run ins w/ Gallo Brothers. Breheney was close friends w/ Myer Lansky bk 2Prohibition & a bootlegger. Lansky @ my parents 1949 wedding as his guest. Breheney owned LaSalle Vending. I think Albert Galo is in his 90s & still alive. Would love to ask if remember Breheney! New Subscriber.
This line from goodfellas makes way more sense now " It was a glorious time. Wiseguys were all over the place. It was before Apalachin and before Crazy Joey decided to take on a boss and start a war. It was when I met the world. It was when I first met Jimmy Burke."
Wow this was an amazing video. Would love to see more videos about the mafia or organized crime in general. Subscribed. Also anyone know the song at 9:35?

Update: did not disappoint 👍👍
How could you not include the Dylan song written about Gallo? So disappointing.
@@CasperInkyMagoo I can't handle those copyright strikes :)
@@HistoryDose I had not considered that, as I am not a content creator. Fair play to you.
what is the song used in the video in the beginning?
“One of his best friends was a dwarf named Armando who took care of his lion” is the most random sentence I’ve ever heard🤣
Lmfaoooo what??? Im sittin here waiting for that quote like kid waiting for his deadbeat dad to pick him up
And best quote
😂😂
I thought I knew alot about Gallo and the mob, that was something I didn't know 😂😂😂😂😂
Why can't I have a best friend who is a dwarf? Life isn't fair man. Then to add insult to injury, he not only has that but a lion too? I quit life.
“I respectfully decline to answer because I honestly believe my answer might tend to incriminate me” is something I’m tucking away for keeps

You gotta be seriously unhinged for those guys to give you that title
Yep my uncle was named crazy joe real lunatic
He was called crazy joe gallo because when he got nabbed on a burglary he copped a plea that he was a nut and got sent to a nuthouse for a while

Thanks! This was a definitely a bit of a style change up for us, and we weren’t sure how it would be received. Thankfully, we’ve had a lot of positive feedback and we are planning to return to the Mafia subject again at some point
Amazing video. Keep up the great work
This is such high quality content I'm blown away - what was Gallo's take on Kant, Nietzsche, and Schopeanhauer?!
Bunch of moody pricks
Yeah I mean, if he was still in the mob after reading Kant then he probably didn't learn much. Deontology is one of the leading theories of morality today, and this guy didn't seem to really get any more moral (from what this video talks about)
@@TheSteelDialga well Kant's moral theory is debunked and bashed on by most philosophers after Kant but the really interesting question is whether he saw himself as a cultural and revolutionary figure in the way Kant, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer were; and, if he did, to what extent.
Crazy Joe Gallo is a Brooklyn LEGEND and one of the toughest guys that ever came up in the Cosa Nostra. Had balls of an elephant! Started a WAR with the boss Profaci and kidnapped his administration!! Never backed up or backed down from anybody!! Gallo and his brothers were as REAL as it got!!
This is one of, if not the best video you have ever done.
This video was incredibly well made, quality stuff!
Great presentation, interviews & story telling. My great uncle Frank Breheney hd run ins w/ Gallo Brothers. Breheney was close friends w/ Myer Lansky bk 2Prohibition & a bootlegger. Lansky @ my parents 1949 wedding as his guest. Breheney owned LaSalle Vending. I think Albert Galo is in his 90s & still alive. Would love to ask if remember Breheney! New Subscriber.
This line from goodfellas makes way more sense now
" It was a glorious time. Wiseguys
were all over the place. It was
before Apalachin and before Crazy
Joey decided to take on a boss and
start a war. It was when I met the
world. It was when I first met
Jimmy Burke."
What a change of subject! Brilliant video!
Great video, def will check more out !
this goes hard af
like damn this is awesome holy shit
Wow this was an amazing video. Would love to see more videos about the mafia or organized crime in general. Subscribed. Also anyone know the song at 9:35?
“I’m Never Gonna Let You Down” by Roy Williams
