- I have a very interesting guest today, his name is Mike Thompson, and he was once the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood. He did 45 years in Prison for a crime that he maintains he did not commit. In this episode, you would hear a lot of things about all the controversies he had been around for years. No doubt that you’d enjoy this Sitdown.

Yeah same me amazing I'm 44 years old can't imagine spending that long in prison
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prize
GOD IS GOOD! I pray he stays out and continues doing good! He’s been through alot peace and blessings!
I watched the same documentary,,was a great one....
Respect... I'm black and you brothers spoke truth... Love is a real issue in society today...Thanks for the message keep doing it.
One love bruh
True I'm watching from Amsterdam Holland, it's about love,unity, and misplaced fear ...respect and love from Amsterdam.
love need to earned just like respect
I'm white. Maybe it's up to Guys Like Us. I worked in the prison system. Maybe this is how things get fixed. An unintended consequence of what the mainstream and big Tech is trying to do. Being brought together by something I certainly did not expect to watch and I'm sure you probably stumbled on it the same as I did. Maybe a bunch of us together truly wreck the plan that has been laid out. I know I'm willing to take some steps
Peace
ABSOLUTELT BRILLIANT INTERVIEW! I have always enjoyed watching and listening to Mr. Thompson, his message is incredible and life changing. God bless the both of you and may you both do extremely well in your lives today and years to come.
I am a coloured person and I saw the title of this video. I had zero expectations. My god its opened my eyes. 30 years in the hole and this guy Micheal has me very emotional man. Unbelievable fortitude and his eloquence and wisdom. I am blown away. Unbelievable work here Mr Franzese.... Please continue with the good work you are doing via media.
.What you wrote was spot on.
Don’t mistake cunning and manipulation for wisdom and eloquence.
@@danielmartin7838 yup these are two grade a bung holes.
I'm a coloured person too.. at room temperature I am pink... when j get cold I turn blue... in the sun I go brown.. too much sun and I'm beetroot red.. when I'm ill i turn grey... to look at me you'd say I'm white...
coloured?? bro this isnt the 60's. weirdo
It always amazes me how some ex convicts leave prison more educated than college graduates.
That is called experience specially in a game called life...
We've had enough time to look at ourselves, that's for sure.
Believe me, it's all self education. These systems aren't educating shit.
Reading is fundamental
In prison people learn to be master manipulators
I remember seeing him on a National Geographic episode years ago after leaving the AB. I’m so happy to see he’s out & doing good things with his life. Congratulations Michael Thompson !
Seems like a very intelligent gentleman
Crazy how a guy who literally had to teach himself to read and write in prison is 100 times more intelligent and well-spoken than the current generation
But it took 45 years 😂
But he wasn't when he was young. And just because he's intelligent doesn't mean he's better he still spent his life behind bars
Facts watch the movie idiocracy that's today's society
Prison gives you a lot of time to read and study, gotta pass that time somehow.
He went to prison, but at least escaped the university.
What I love most about this interview was that it wasn't a conversation sharing grievous prison stories. Rather, it was a very intellectual dialogue addressing matters of the heart. I enjoy watching both of these guys, and this is exactly the type of content society as a whole needs. I hope to meet these guys one day and to sit and have a conversation with them. Lord wiling, great interview, thank you both.
Been a correctional officer in a states max custody facility since I was 19, now 48 years old. This is one of the most eye opening interviews I've ever watched. Obviously I have different views and opinions but I was absolutely glued to every word. Great interview.
one of my opinions ( and of many people outside the us) is that the american prison system is incredibly inhumane and and a violation of human rights. this is like the only guy who came out the other end alive or a better human, but the reason why hes still here is because hes good at knife fight... and nothing of that is a sign of a working prison system.
Thanks for what you did
@@janbunz6421 Well don't go to prison. That's kinda how we feel about your opinion on that matter.
@@janbunz6421 The fact he was locked away soo long is indicative of a working system.
Now Thompson stands accused not of violent crimes, but exploitative white collar offenses, such as bilking homeless people out of unemployment, or signing up a fake Southern California firefighting company for $1.5 million in business loans. According to the complaint, Thompson and his co-defendant, whom he met in prison, convinced 16 people to give up their personal information to benefit the alleged scheme.
It’s incredible how Intelligent both Micheals are and can hold a conversation without profanity or argumentative attitudes
Some of us use profanity for certain people and situations because we can't use what we want to use. Jail and prison is just another place for us to rest from the rest of society's bullshit.
True gangsters are intelligent gentlemen
@@Jettgirl77 I do have to ask why would you say "rest" there is no rest on the inns only for key holders and still do have u ever been?
Really all you can do inside that long is get smart and we are human at the end of the day Mike T has a couple degrees he's very smart inside back in the day if. You said something he didn't like he would grin at you you got jumped or got a check that night so if he smiled just to smile you was worried the rest of the night
This was a really great interview. I appreciate you sharing it with us!
Mike, as you stated "alot of those in prison shouldn't be there,"
I see a tremendous amount of those in our mist who should be there immediately!! This interview is extremely informative. Congratulations to you both for your incredible success!
Bless you 🙏
Michael is a handsome man. Thompson is spectacularly beautiful with a unique aura. Look at his eyes, there is no evil there.
I'm not white as the Aryans think, I think, because I never think about those things to be honest but I understand people fighting for their cultural heritage and this man is only guilty of that.
He probably (100%) did some things wrong in jail but that's how some survive and others don't.
@@AliHusa-cb8jxthank you for putting it in good paragraphs, people that did probably did bad Ik a couple did double digits and there out all they had was there CDC Card out here my unc he is doing super good the other guy idk I haven’t seen him walking no more he is out doing good both did 25 there is reforming in it
I've seen interviews with Mike Thompson, and I'm always captivated by his life experience and how he carries himself. Mike is the kind of guy that embodies the Marine Corps motto.... No better friend, No worse enemy.! Great interview Michael..! 👍🏻
Hey Mr.Michael Franzese! Happy Holidays to you +your family!I love all your content +,yas you always have really interesting Men + women on your channel !God Bless +,Salute OG !
@@michaelfranzese I love you videos and my favorite was the one with The Godfather review. Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate you. Merry Christmas and god bless you.
You compare a criminal to a Marine
@@robertlawler1387 Well They would obviously have All the military training, psychology +be street smart
Semper Fidelis has nothing to do with either of these dudes. Get real.
Nothing but huge respect & admiration for Mr Thompson. How anyone can go through what he has & come out the way he has is remarkable.

Cross him and see how rehabilitated he is.
Easy…. Thompson is a stone cold killer
So there really are people who buy his bs.....smh
@@jonholmes6551 exactly
I just started following this channel. I’m only a few episodes in. I just want to say, I love the content. I love the channel so far. Really really enjoy getting an inside view of things we don’t normally get an inside view of. Thanks for the great entertainment!
#1 takeaway: be very careful how you treat people. These are two very dangerous men that seem unimposing.
That would be the exception. Generally speaking, most dangerous men are physically fit or big ...
@@ayugoslav5554 no they arent. Size and fitness has little to do with a determend foe. A person that can 'turn on extreme violence is far more dangerous then a 'fit' avg person
Neath one is dangerous ones a lier Thompson the other had dangerous people around him witch he no longer has.
@@bryanfowler2039that part Thompson lying since he got out,the other was surrounded and protected by real killers...
Or two men who have done their time, repented, and are seeking to live better lives. A dangerous man is just an actual man. Having the ability to bring violence is biblical manhood. Doing it for unbiblical purposes means that they are not men. Both were just murderous degenerates before. I feel like they have both had some sort of spiritual awakening. Time will tell on both.
I heard about him some years back and found him to be a very interesting soul. It’s amazing the life he has lead and come through it as the man he is today. Thanks for having this sit down Michael and I know you will be praying for him as I will be

This was an incredible interview. We need to share Michael's content as much as possible. There are a multitude of people that interviews like this one can reach.
And fire Pete golding! RT
Roll Tide!👍
I agree. But the second poster had a Reply comment saying that Big Mike is back in for some kind of "theft of govt services". I asked for some kind of link, some form of proof, cause after 45 years, and from what it sounded like, he's got it made on the outside now, I can't imagine that someone who's clearly gained a vast amount of education would willingly do ANYTHING that would even remotely have a chance of endangering that. Still waiting on a response, but I asked about 5 minutes before making this comment. I really hope that comment was wrong. I liked Big Mike when I saw the Documentary some years back, found him to be incredibly well spoken and intelligent, and see that has grown exponentially as he's seen here. I can't imagine him risking anything now. Unless he got set up for not "testifying" the way they wanted him to. That would suck.
@Sandman💀 Con man. Ed Kemper interviews are classic how incarcerated smart (narcissists)people can fool you. They've had to con their way out of the world's toughest judicial system.
Michael, thank you for sharing this absolutely amazing conversation!
As a career Corrections Chaplain having ministered in Federal, State & County facilities, I appreciated your comments on faith while incarcerated. This is the key to reducing recidivism.
Religion is just an accepted cult learn the definition of cult than look at your religion 😂but most ppl are blinded by their cult religion
@@Blazin33ninja I don’t see a ton of Christians running around killing and looting and robbing people. Most of the time, when people repent and give their lives to religion, their lives get better. And there’s evidence that shows this. It gives you a framework and moral compass to live by and also a community of support. Cults are led by dangerous people who brainwash others for selfish gain and to control. There’s a big difference. If everyone just lived with selfish motives, this society would be even worse than it already is. Decades ago when religion was a bigger part of people’s lives, society thrived much better. Traditional values are very important. Society is screwed right now and it’s only getting worse.
bah humbug. faith is as useless as tits on a boar. Like AA has the same success rate as people who try to get sober on their own. You just swap one gang for another, and no gang is worse than the Catholic Church, or the southern baptist convention. Pulling in billions a year, and spend maybe 2-3 cent pr dollar on actual charitable outreach, like soup kitchens, and that is almost always just to have a captive audience to preach to. R*ping all those kids and hiding it for so long didn`t help the reputation either. When I hear the word youth pastor, all my alarms go ringing.
Truth. It’s about Truth. When you reach the end of SELF, then God is able to work. It doesn’t have to be prison. It can be addiction or abuse or blowing up your marriage or family. It’s just about wherever someone finally hits the bottom of SELF. As you can see by another comment, some (most) have never reached that point. Thanks for your work either these lost souls.
One of the best conversations I have heard between to Ex-Criminals. God bless you both.
You guys should do future pad casts. You compliment one another engaging in good conversation.
If you are interested in conversations between current criminals tune into the biden administration
Negative. Mike has remained crime free. This guy hasn’t. Google him. I’m wondering if Michael got duped. Just google him.
@@garlandremingtoniii1338 exactly his stories are fish tales and it's obvious. Oh and he was in the AB and he's everything but white. Gtfoh.
@@michaelfranzese
Yep, you guys could get a pocast going with the 2 of you, where you guys talk to current criminals, or prisoners who haven't changed their bad ways yet. You guys could be a guiding light, and bridge for criminals bcuz they could relate to you guys, and as such, your message has a much better chance at reaching them. You wouldn't even need to talk to them specifically about changing their ways, but rather just speaking with them, without judgment, they'll be able to see a practical way out, and a life that they could build for themselves. Not only despite their past, but even bcuz of their past. Their knowledge and experiences could be used for good, if they so choose. And they could always invite Christ into their lives, to guide them towards a live rich of dignity, love, and God's strength. At any rate, sincerely sending my prayers to the both of you. 🙏
NAILED it. Nobody cares about anything in this world unless it directly has an effect on them personally.
Mr. Thompson, as a member of the human race, your transparency is appreciated.
Great podcast and guest. Absolutely loved it. Some great life experiences from both men. Captivating and very influential to all men.
Keep up the purposeful work both of you. The world is a better place to have men as yourselves helping others manoeuvre through lifes trials & tribulations.
👏 Thank you both so much 🙏
What an A+ interview Michael 👏 🙌. Thank you very much for introducing us to Michael Thompson. Keeping you both and Your families in my prayers.
Never would I have imagined seeing two people who I’ve followed for sooo long doing a sit down. Amazing and I wish it would go on for 10+ hours.
Wow , great interview! I cannot even put into words how much this man has impressed me. Over 30 years in the hole and he made it out so well-spoken, so reflective, open and intelligent. Incredible individual!
You fell for a master manipulator and career criminal
THE BEST INTERVIEW I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR, GOD BLESS BOTH YOU MEN!!
One of the most amazing individuals I've ever listened to. Such erudition and intelligence from a guy incarcerated for 45 years, 30 in solitary!! Truly incredible.
Do some research. This man, first of all never did 30 years in the shu. He dropped out after a year in lockdown. He went to a Special unit with other protective custody inmates to do this time (sny) Basically, Gp for Pc's. This man is a giant piece of shit.
The guy is so FOS it’s laughable.
I don't think so. He is a liar.
@@avatarionI don't know, but it does seem quite common these days.
You have no idea as to what you are saying. So ignorant.
Are kidding me?! How come I’m just finding this channel now?! TH-cam pisses me off. Thank you for making this channel Michael, and Michael Thompson, congratulations on getting out, I watched your documentary a long long time ago. This is so incredible how you two men are sitting down one on one. Hope both of you had a great and stress free Christmas. So glad I found this channel.
Same here.
Yea, shits bomb right
@Konstantin what is normal
You are finding it because Musk bought Twitter and all social media is canceling the Ghosting of conservative or Right Wing accounts. I found Mike years ago but he disappeared. After Musk came clean? Dozens of his videos appeared.
Lol he has a million subscribers it’s hardly like this is some unknown channel
I'm a retired law enforcement officer and I couldn't agree more with the both of you. Excellent interview.
I met that guy on my yard at high desert state prison in 2010 he was so happy that he was getting out soon. he said for people not to think he was a good guy but i agreed with him on if you compremise your morals it's a slippery slope to prison.
Epic interview! The level of intellect shared between these two men is simply amazing. What a treat! Thanks to you both !
Yes, shows that intellect does not mean university degree.
@@ziggy31337 💯 facts!
Two criminals chatting and you look up to them?
@@paulm6397 I am a grown woman and have no need nor desire to “look up” to anyone. I am however, secure in my abilities to recognize intelligence no matter what walk of life it comes from. You, unfortunately are not one of them based off your very disrespectful comment. What are you even doing here? Don’t hate~Appreciate! And if you can’t then just see yourself out quietly before you hurt yourself.
@@ziggy31337
Think about it , there were know " Engineers" or Architects" back when the most beautiful structures were built , now we have them and 90%+ of the structures in America are ugly asF.
Wow, what a great sit-down. Two seasoned men that tell it like it is talking about the double standards within our justice system.. Great conversation Michael. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Just started this video. Definitely looking forward to it!!
"Devout Christian" but refuse to say merry Christmas 😑
Probably isn't Michael making the comments but, still is virtue signaling.
If you don't stand for something like that, you don't stand for anything.
Merry Christmas mark 😊
Happy holidays?… okaay 😏
@@michaelfranzese Talk about Joey Calco. He killed my cousin then ratted out everyone else to save himself
@@jeffmiller3499man, shut up. If anyone is virtue signaling it’s you
Facinating man. He is an example of the best that can come from incarceration. He is wise, practical, and has fully come to terms with the mistakes he made and the life he used to live. That takes immense introspection, and an ability to conquer one's own inner ego.
A very eye opening interview.
Two GREAT men, we love ya both, your doing your viewers a great service in relating your experiences to others.
This guy is as tough as they come, and at the same time a very intellectual person.
Great interview! I can’t imagine spending 45 years in prison being innocent and coming out this well spoken and positive
They are all innocent when your in there buddy. He has to say that. What he didn't have to say is this great country is out to get black men. What a crock!
@@midsouth2strokes185 truth hurts
Crazy as it sounds, the institutions in American society USED TO be out to get black men, but TODAY the machine is out to get straight white men..
Clearly this guy has cognitive dissonance, when the country "FALSELY" imprisoned him, a white man, for 45 years...
I'm not rooting for anyone, I'm just calling it how it is. People openly admit hiring and selecting and promoting based on dark skin and lgbt. They are the first ones in every line and straight white men are pushed to the back.
@@KCBAYBOI Patiently waiting for the statistics.
30 years in solitary ... Just try to imagine that. Horror story.
Real recognize Real...i was feeling it every second and the Respekt each other had in this conversation was very ,very impressive !
So glad i found this channel! What an amazing interview 💞 I hope the future is nothing but Beautiful for this man 💞
Just want to say I think it's awesome you comment back and interact with fans. It's an honor and an absolute privilege to be able to talk to someone who's such a legend. Thank you for the knowledge and great videos you give us.
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prize 🙏🙏🙏🙏
One thing they both mentioned in this sit down… to be a man, is not masculine toxicity… to be a man, is to be masculine, and as such the world is a better place. We are the warriors, and protectors of our families and society.
This is probably the best podcast I’ve ever seen, Michael Thompson is a success story as you are as well,Mike! I was overwhelmed with emotion! Brought tears to my eyes. Continued success I hope for you and Mr. Thompson as well.
Greatest interview I’ve ever seen! God Bless You Both.
Beautifully done as an American. I’m very proud of Michael Thompson, and how far he has come, in his wild journey
This was fantastic, full respect to Michael for being so well versed after such a long time behind bars!
In order to manipulate you got to stay up to speed to tug at the hearts of those around you.
The tough without the love,is just tough!
Great show Mike, and hats off to Mr. Thompson and his message. Awesome ! God 🙏 Bless.
The part about "the hole" and solitary confinement almost made me tear up. I know that one from personal experience
Two male elders just oozing wisdom gained through experience, facing adversity and having the courage to change. I was totally captivated from start to finish, I just wish it was a bit longer. I don't often re-watch videos but I will with this one. God bless these men.
At 70 years old this blew me away, when I thought I knew quite a bit from my life experience, BAM along comes a coversation that kept me enthrawled
Great interview.A wealth of knowledge between you both
Much love and respect from Ireland.God bles.
Great Interview! Praying for you!
I remember watching a documentary about the A.B. years ago that featured Michael and he seemed like a very intelligent eloquent guy and seeing him free now after 45 years and sitting down with a guy like Michael Franzese and both being able to give their unique perspective on life I think is fascinating.
What i dont like is hes a verified Bonafide super tough brawler, BUT he made up and exaggerated several stories lol. The prison guys that knew and knew of him all universally say that its true, he was for a time an enforcer and a seriously deadly one. However he exaggerated about the number of men he simultaneously fought and other things. The actual stories were apparently crazy enough but he went over the top talking about beating 10 guys or whatever.
Same here. I’m glad he’s out.
@@mikimiyazaki yeah unfortunately when we are young we sometimes make bad decisions and choose the wrong path. At least this guy has gained wisdom as he’s gotten older and realizes they errors he made
@@chrisvig123 im talking about him now. He tells exaggerated stories and also makes stuff up about his gladiator days.
@@mikimiyazaki Unless you were attached to his hip for the 45 years he was in, how could you or anyone possibly know he's exaggerating. If you want to see exaggeration personified, any Jamie Morgan Kane interview will do.
God bless you Michael for the work you do. I was a firefighter in a large Metropolitan City for over 30 years. I have seen my share of violence, death and destruction , most of it at the hand of man. When friends ask about the "worst thing or things I've ever seen" I think about the things that one person or persons did to another. When you do this type of job for this long you get very familiar with who the bad players are in the area you work. The gang members. The drug dealers. The street people And yes even a few of the mobsters/ gangsters. You may recognize certain tradecraft or handiwork and no who was probably responsible. I've seen a lot of these same people ultimately become the victim as well. I have however you seen a few, albeit very few change their ways and their lives dramatically. For most of these people, like you and your guest today it was an inner reflection of themselves that they were forced to make while incarcerated. It's amazing because of the thousands of individuals who get incarcerated very few make the change. It's even more exceptional when you consider the fact that like you and what your guests talked about today our prison systems are not designed to offer any type of Rehabilitation. They actually do the opposite. It's like grad school for criminals. I've talked to many of these people who would approach me and my crew on the street and say something like "you probably don't remember or recognize me but you saved my life when I was... shot" or "stabbed" or "O.D.'ed" or whatever. They would say thank you for not giving up on me and letting me die. Some of them even admitted to being the one who was responsible for a stabbing or shooting or bludgeoning someone to a bloody pulp. But the point is is I believe inside of every human is the ability to change their course in life and if a few can do so without any help from the system imagine how many could actually be rehabilitated with a little effort. And like you guys said how the politicians really don't care, that's definitely the problem. How can we expect people to care about themselves if they don't see that anybody else does. With the exception of some severely mentally Disturbed individuals I believe most people would rather live a good life than an evil one but when their choices are limited they will do what they have to to survive especially in a hostile environment. Most street cops that I worked side by side with seem to be too jaded and burnt out to be the one to assist these people in finding a better way but it seems as though the few that have reformed themselves Reach Out to the firefighters and paramedics when they run into us because they tell us it was something that we said or just a single moment of compassion that we may have shown for them while doing our jobs that is the reason why they feel compelled to approach us and tell us their story. And they are almost always right, that we don't remember or recognize them because after so many years all the names and faces just become a blur but I do have some small sense of satisfaction when somebody approaches me and my crew to thank us for what we did, Once Upon a Time somewhere in the street, the ghetto, the projects or wherever that that little bit of humanity that we showed them somehow affected their life in a positive way. If the penal system and the courts would show a little Humanity as well I would think it would go a long way toward not only bettering individual lives but reducing a lot of criminal behavior in the future. The fact is is that most of these criminals will be in and out of the system multiple times before they do something so hideous or violent that they're finally put away for life. I believe a lot of that can be avoided and a lot of lives could not only be changed but also we would see a reduction in the numbers of victims as well. Sorry about the long-winded comment, I wouldn't have been able to do this without the dictation feature on my phone as it would have taken me a few hours to type all this but just wanted to tell you that I believe in your message and I believe that you are making a difference. God bless you and your family and please continue doing what you do. And of course may you have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year
What an awesome comment sir. I believe you are right about the little kindness or compassion going a long way. Yes if the system could help out a little bit instead of creating a gladiator school. But alas, think of the big picture. A society that’s based on the police state doesn’t benefit from less criminals, it needs more.
Normally a big chunk of print like that doesn't get digested my end but that was very readable. You never know where compassion can lead. I'm British. I remember ex-Nazi now Catholic scholar Joe Pearce talking about the touches of humanity that changed his life. He once had a fiery radio debate with a member of a Punk band Stiff Little Fingers. He thought after the debate the other guy would ignore him and head off, but instead he asked him if he fancied a pint. They obviously disagreed when chatting over a pint, but the guy treated him like a human being, and it was part of what led to his change. I've been in prison myself. It was a political thing. To me rehabilitation is facilitated by fair treatment, the desire of change has to come from within. In my experience I think what accounts for crime is 90% weakness, 10% wickedness. That 90% can be worked on. God bless you for your service as a fireman and the difference you made to people's lives.
Amen my friend! Thanks for your service!👍🏻 I grew up with a bunch of NYC firemen and they are all great human beings. Cops not so much! lol Jaded like you said!
I actually read your whole comment.
Don't worry btw, toy will figure put how to txt faste. Or you can check out on line, they have simple little games that will teach you where to put your fingers to type.
I did it about 12 yrs ago and with in about 3 days other computer, I was typing 45 words a minute .

Perhaps a moment of silence for the two children murdered and the heartbreaking pain of the parents.
I remember Mike Thompson from many prison documentaries 25 years ago! For some reason I always liked him. I definitely will tune in to his new podcast. This was one of the best sit downs you have done. I hope he will be on your show again for a follow up. Thank you! Chicago Fan
Ditto!!! To all of the above that is!
@@caninerehab6548 yea screw the “the damage done” podcast or w/e ppl talking shit about a good man. No idea clueless
This was an amazing interview, totally impressed by both of you ,we grew up in all different ways ,I more to say but keep doing you
Mike, this is in my opinion the best sit down I've watched!
I’ve known about Michael Thompson for years because of a documentary on tv. He is very intelligent and soft spoken. Awesome interview Michael!! Merry Christmas!!😎🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
My uncle did time with Michael and said he was a legit bad dude that nobody went around. Said he ate by himself and stayed to himself the times that he saw him! Legend💪🏻💪🏻🍀💯
Was worth the 50+ mins to sit and listen to. Thanx gents!
Was a pleasant surprise to see this guest. Read a lot about him online. Nice to hear him speak and answer questions in person.
Two awesome dudes with a wealth of life experience talking truth and plain common sense. Superb sitdown.
@@michaelfranzese Men need to be men; now more than ever. This country is being internally subverted at its core; we need to hear a lot more from men like yourself who hate where this country is at, and will go, unless we screw our heads back on.
Thank you for sharing your experience and others. Respect, I have a lot of respect for you and others you interview.
Amazing interview. Well done Michael great job!
WOW! Michael I am speechless This sit-down could have gone on for hours. Thank you so much for this. God Bless and Merry Christmas to you and the family.

He is so articulate and well spoken. Very interesting guy
The world is kinda blessed to hear from Michael Franzese and his guests.
A lil late to the party, though as former federal LE, having spent 5 1/2 years in long term(deep) undercover(Group I UCO for those familiar), this is far and away one of your top 2-3 interviews. Mike would absolutely warrant a second sit-down vid!!
Superbly Played🍻
Continued Success👊
RP
Michael these sit down interviews are among the very best out there. You get to interview some of the most controversial people and I suspect would not grant such unrestricted access to more “mainstream” media personalities. Well done sir. You get to shed some light onto the darker sides of life and your production values are extremely high. I look forward to seeing many more for years to come. Thank you sir.
U won’t see this in paramount or discovery networks or fake news CNN 😮
Giving the backgrounds of these two individuals, this was one of the most fascinating podcasts ever.
Makes it more interesting after seeing many documentaries with both of them years ago.
Thank you Gentlemen, very fascinating interview❤❤
Great interview. As real as real can get. My father was in law enforcement and respect that he has changed his life. The things he discussed were some of the same things my late father told me.
Real? Lmao Michael Thompson is back in prison. He was running his frauds at the same time he was giving these interviews. There is nothing real about him and you fail at reading people.
Great Sit Down! You should definitely do a Part 2. I worked for 13 years as a State Corrections Officer, so I can relate to the stories of both Michaels.
I worked the drop out seg yard. I know Him pretty well. Glad to be retired , hope your well brother.
@@marknathan6699 is he as legit as he's made out to be?

Wow...absolutely enjoyed listening to this interview....both of you guys sending much needed messages out to a society in desperate need of REAL men and defenders of women ,children and those not able to defend themselves, whether physically or verbally. Grateful that I am able to watch and listen to you and your guests. Keep up the amazing work!

I was a oddity in school and still am as I was taught, treat everybody like you want to be treated with respect. I was friends with all.
How the hell did i miss this episode!!! This is gonna be a good one for sure!!
Amazing interview and it is great that both men are using their experience for good! God Bless!
What a fascinating sit down!! I recognize MT from a documentary as others have said.Obviously I don’t know him,but to spend 30 years in the hole,solitary,SHU etc and apparently have all your faculties and be well spoken is quite a massive feat.
Michael Thompson's life is nothing less than miraculous. In EVERY WAY! Thankfully he, and Michael, can continue to be a great help to people through truth and love. If only the political and legal apparatus that run this country had half the integrity of these men we would all be better off. 🙏
@@genosim63 You are delusional. Thompson is back in prison where he belongs.
I’m a black man but really enjoyed this interview and hope this interview help on topics that needs to be addressed in society and I hope this man can reach others that really need it fr.
Smh unbelievable 😂
I'm a black man
It's such a beautiful thing ,that a black man can enjoy an interview of a Aryan Brotherhood man. Personally ,I can't stand white supremacist YET I watched this open mindedly WITHOUT assuming the man was a Devil. The world is such a complicated place , quite strange how the leader of the White prison gang is NOT a racist man. I mean he loved going ro Native sweat lodges !
@The Mad Alchemist Your gonna be "blue" also if you keep it up

Great Interview! I remember seeing Michael Thompson on the Nat Geo channel! Was impressed then and more impressed now. Very well spoken.
One of the most interesting conversations I’ve ever heard. You both explain Constitutional rights extremely well. Thanks for your perspectives.
I remember this guy. They did an interview in prison but I thought he had life without parole? Can’t believe he’s out but good to hear his story.
This was one of the most interesting, engaging sit downs I have watched. Absolutely loved it. Great, intelligent conversation. Thank you for sharing
Thank You Mike...Keepin' em just!!
Great conversation! 👍🏻
Michael is doing the lord’s work.
Never stop talking 🏆
You're both well spoken and articulate gentlemen, there is alot of real world wisdom in both of you. Keep these sit downs coming Michael, and thank you.
Good to see Michael open up and actually tell you a thing or two.
Amazing podcast, great guests, keep up the great content ❤❤
This is definitely one of the most interesting sit downs you had. Thank you for what you're doing! Good luck to you and your family!
I'm glad these older mobsters and gangsters have discovered TH-cam and decided to use it to share their stories with us. Guys like Francese lived through the era that inspired movies like "Goodfellas" and "Casino"
No doubt! It’s sad no matter how much truth is actually involved. Now they did lots of violent things no doubt, but killing of kids I don’t but.
Both Michaels are incredible men. I would be honored to meet them both. Incredible interview.
Thanks. God bless.
You are both Amazingly Resilient Men. May GOD Bless you both.
I remember seeing this guy in a documentary when I was a kid. I thought he was a captivating story teller with a lot to offer the world, but I was worried as had just left his gang to pursue what he believed was right and I was always pretty sure the former gang would end up killing him. I’m glad to see he’s alive and free and set on putting out good messages 🙌🏻

Lol the rest of them are serving life. They have nothing but time & patience .. That man wakes up everyday knowing ppl want him dead. And knows how easily it can happen at anytime
Yes. I remember it. He looked friggin' terrifying with that wild hippie hair and 6' 6" frame. Yet, he seemed like a nice guy.
@terry boswell do you have any proof of this?! Like a link to an article? That’s a crazy plot twist if it’s true 🙈😂
He looks terrific
One of the most well spoken interviews I have ever watched on any channel. The level of intelligence shown here I believe is a perfect representation of the ability to learn and use the knowledge that he was given the opportunity to acquire while serving time in prison. A very well representative of how people who do serve time are not just mere images or reflections of a single choice made in their life that landed them in prison. Thank you for the content and the message that both of you shared not only in this interview but throughout the platforms that you have made through your life experiences.
Another great...great interview Michael...hats off to both you and Mike Thompson ...2 great Americans in book !
Wish more people would see and listen to you two gentlemen with an open mind.
We need to get back to Talking and having respectful dialogue with everyone especially those we don’t agree with all the time …one love !
We were lucky enough to see Michael speak in person. Much respect for both of you two gents. Fine interview.
