@Ted Wilson sorry mate I had assumed u were from the US OF A. I don't know much of Canadian history just that you guys slayed a fuck load of nazis in ww2 and taliban in Afghanistan. And u guys are responsible for Justin Bieber
@Ted Wilson So you believe government is not a form of organized crime and prefer to support that over those who rebel against its suppressive control? Cool. Keep drinkin' the Kook-Aid, it's workin' for ya! So what if Hoffa was crooked? Which politician can you name who isn't? For that matter, name me a bank or corporate CEO who isn't. At least Hoffa did work successfully to improve the working conditions for transport workers. Name a politician that's worked hard and succeeded to improve the situation of lower and middle class people. So what's your point about Hoffa being crooked, again? The whole world, at least those seeking and reeling power, is crooked. Try keeping up.
Kathleen Cabot What are you meaning? If I sold you a big juicy burger which can help to prevent hunger, starvation and death. Why would I not be your friend? Admittedly you are likely right. But what makes you right? Isn't it true that such is likly true because the law makes it true? The business may have done you a favour. But the law determins the favour an act of business for their purpose of taxation and so the business favour is no longer a friendly kind act but just something done for money devoid of any good except as business for money.
Hoffa was a hell of a guy! I’m a old Teamster and he helped the truckers. They call me Pauli’ at the Union Hall.imliving good on my pension. Thank you Jimmy .
hoffa was a yhug who stole union members money. he didnt do anything for workers,,,he started unions to steal money wqhile posing as a hero. a corrupt piece of shit
@@alexandermacdougall7873 nope. He may have taken a little..but if you think your favorite politician hasnt, lol, your are asleep. He helped bring wages where a man could support his family. Don't give me that shit..go to school or go get this or that..the fact is there can be only so many bosses, lawyers , doctors and technicians of any kind..the fact that EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION has grown by multitudes in relation to workers wages is the real problem. Everyone has to eat, we are not looking to be rich but working 70 hours a week, hard, and still can't afford the basics? I guess the poor are just making excuses?
My Father is a Teamster and he meet Jimmy Hoffa . He was a man of his time and my father was all Teamster you dare not cross the picket line. Hoffa gave the working man more pay. I think Jimmy Hoffa was a working mans friend . Rest in Peace Jimmy !!!
He tried to send his wop buddies to kill my grandfather over union contracts but his buddies cowered like dogs when my aunts and uncles brought out their shotguns. LOLdozens of armed wops were no match for my family and Hoffa never made the mistake of taking on my grandfather again.
This is by far one of the best documentaries of Hoffa there is and one of my favorite documentaries of all time. I've probably watched it at least twenty times and even bought it on Vudu to add to my other favorites. I've been obsessed with learning about Hoffa since I was a kid and this documentary really gets to the nuts and bolts of who Hoffa was. He wasn't a saint and he wasn't a sinner. He was whoever he had to be to get the job done and this documentary does a great job emphasizing that and showing the ultimate price he paid for it.
I’ve been a member in the channel for a long time and I wasn’t interested in watching this video because I thought I’ve watched enough J. Hoffa videos and know enough about his disappearance until I watched this video twice and all I can say is WOW, you guys are the best documenter I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

@@alprofityou are a superstar in this game, during the past decade+ i always got excited seeing you or your name in a documentary. Doc could be about ant farm gangland or watching St Valentines Day paint drying massacre and i would watch 👍🏻
Day in the life of dictator. Very good, basic and little deeper digging documentary of 3 dictators: Stalin, Idi Amin & Gaddafi. Told by relatives and people who were present at their lifes, and interestingly digs into the fears and paranoia of each dictator.
That's the question of a man who incorporates death with murder and forgetting about diseases. The Irishman is great! Just finished watching it a while ago.
@Savage Cabbage That's not actually the real reason. The reason people enjoy history is because you and i can look upon it with judgemental eyes. It's a simple case of "obvious in hindsight" You have the full story and facts after the event. If we knew what was going to happen in the future you can be sure that would also be as equally interesting. But we don't. So we dwell in the past. We, humans, are excellent at dwelling (although we rarely learn lessons from past mistakes.) This is a perfect example of it.
the past is always an outline for the future. The best War Generals + soldiers + heavy weights who made real change were ALWAYS STUDENTS OF HISTORY. Mel Gibson in "The Patriot" year 2000, took out groups of 20-30 men w/ himself and 2 underage sons. How? Guerilla Warfare aka ... balls out, freestyle, take hits hide, take hits, hide. Against that dumb line up and get killed while I take 2 minutes to reload by rifle? him and 2 middle schoolers took out entire regimines. You think they were the 1st to employ that method? They either came up w/ it themselves... or had had they're own soldiers pieced up by Native American's who took them apart like a wet paper bag with 3 Indians, 2 horses, bow and arrows and some hatchets... What you don't know will kill you when History is concerned.
Wasn't Mad psycotic Michael Coeleome a criminal underworld gangster when he was supposed to have said that during the film? Just because a criminal opens his mouth. That is not proof or the words being true.
@@MikeGreenwood51 Just because the wisdom comes from a criminal does not make what he said any less true. History is proof enough that what he said was true.
Amazing the amount of history came out of Detroit. I was born and raised here and as a kid had no idea of the mob activity. It was right on par with Chicago and New York.
@@SourD72 I agree. There seem to be two eras or maybe three for organizized crime and Detroit only saw the 20s-70s action. Unlike New York that saw it well into the 80s, 90s with the new and last era of John Gotti type of figures. My old bather told me a story of his uncle being shot dead in his backyard, in west Detroit in the 70s. His murder is still unsolved but he supposedly had dealings with the mob. It tripped me out because hes black. His family will never know why.
@@tytanikd6473 Right. Detroit may have been a safe haven. You know how many times in a gangster flick I heard "so in so came down from Detroit for a meeting"? Haha. Just thought they picked a random city. Peace
I was in the middle of it and lived next door to GM headquarters. I was a bartender for a mafia family and served drinks to Giacalone every week. I drove my boss to a meeting at Macus Red Fox just two days before Hoffa disappeared from there. Giacalone and Provenzano met with one of the three brothers that I worked for. I was told that Hoffa would never be seen again.
@@calburge4338 to say that we are owned by China is to absolve U.S corporations and the U.S government of any responsibility. The onus is all on them not China.
Lived in that area most of my life and finding Hoffa's body is a well known joke. The local newspaper, The Oakland Press, would run a story every year on the anniversary of his disappearance and the media in Detroit would fall over themselves when anything came up like 1:15:43 which happened at least once a year over nothing.
Well the movie takes some liberties with the story frank sheeran confessed killing hoffa.. as an old man decades after he disappeared ( triying to sell his book ) their is no hard evidence of this so i guess we will never really know ..
Roy Clark If I recall correctly, the car used to grab him was a Buick lesabre . It was chuck O’Briens car. They found jimmys hair and blood in the trunk.
Al Profit really tears the shit open and gets all of the facts. All of his documentaries are excellent, extremely well investigated and presented. Another fabulous one Al!
HELL, I AGREE!!! Also, at 76+ I read about this as I was GROWING UP!! Remember GREEDY BUSINESS created the ''''GREAT DEPRESSION ''' of '''' BLACK TUESDAY!!! 74 - 75 half I drove a TRUCK, and this FILLED the C/B"s AIR WAVES !!!🤠
My dad was a coal miner, my mom was a teamster, I paint houses in the dark. In America you either work hard your entire life or you take the lives of those who exploit us.
May I say, it's your life, you get to decide if you wanna work for yourself or someone else. You gotta be smart enough to know that you'll never make money working for someone else.
I have learned more history during this Pandemic watching these vids than ever.My father was a Teamster in Indiana back in the day.Bravo Al love your channel!👏❤️
I personally ran into Tony Pro on a Cleveland street. Two bodyguards at about 20 yards on each side. We got off the sidewalk to let him and the man with him pass. They didn't acknowledge that we existed.
Jimmy Hoffa was one of the greatest men to have lived in the last 100 years. The man was a badass, and a very smart man. There will never be men like him anymore. The man had balls.
My congratulations to the people who put this documentary together. This is truly one of the most well thought out well made and well put together documentary I've ever seen.
I agree with you. However, when Sheeran drove Hoffa to that house for the meeting, Sheeran was behind Hoffa as they entered the house. Hoffa never knew what hit him when he was shot from behind when Sheeran clipped him. It was just fade to black.
Such a great movie...so good to see pacino and deniro and pesci all together in another mafia film. And a great one at that...so i hear you paint houses...lol
Someonez Mom I can’t stand when ppl say it was boring! All three of them in one movie is enough! Name three ppl who are fucking with them and they are all old! Name one! Lol I’m not ranting at u btw. I’m just seeing looottts of ppl saying it’s boring like the douche above me
The last guy is completely wrong. Hoffa was no angel but he did many great things for labor and unions, and he did care about that despite any of the wrong he did intentionally or unintentionally.
Love the channel as a former club DJ in Detroit ( lived in st Clair shores and east Detroit)I have followed ur work for the last decade & hope u keep grinding it out and get the notoriety and success u deserve
I have no idea just how I missed this one, but it is wonderfully written and put together, Al. Been a fan for a long time but this one is the best that I have ever seen. Thanks so much for your work on this one and for that matter, everything that you drop!!
@@alprofit The horse farm is on Milford Rd not far from I-96 , i repaired a riding mower there around 1983, a close friend ( in the mid 90's ) told me it was owned by a trucking company out in flint we both worked for,( E L Hollingworth ) who didn't want a union, have you heard any thing in reguards to that? Thanks for your hard work on your show! Cheers!
I've been loving your docs for yearrrrrrrssssss,your the man bro ,I used to buy your DVDs way back in Harlem ,NY,keep doing your thing n godbless n show them how to realllllllyyyyyyy do it !!!!!
I grew up in aSteel working family in Pittsburgh. I'm now 70. My father and uncles loved Hoffa; they were all steelworkers - Teamsters. Actually, the movie with Jack Nickolson - Hoffa - was filmed in Pittsburgh. The reason, I think,that union members, like my dad, revered Hoffa was because brought the labor movement to the USA. Hoffa was born in 1914 (?). My dad was born in '20. Hoffa let power go to his head. He was not "schooled" but smart. He got into more than he bargained for. But "absolute power corrupts absolutely." He couldn't let go of the power after his pardon by Nixon. Interesting video on Hoffa. Guess NJ can stop looking for Hoffa under the goal line in the Meadowlands. When you lose, it's best to accept your defeat and walk away rather than like the need for your former power to consume you.
I’m a retired Teamster . Jimmy thought RFK was a punk. The Teamsters fund built Vegas. I thank Jimmy for the great job I had at ups . The Teamsters loaned Jim Casy ,the founder of ups ,to expand the company .
Punk used for RFK gives a bad name to punks. RFK was a spoiled rich kid whose father was a bastard and crook. JFK slept with an organized crime cohort. Lets not forget the murder of M. Monroe.......
Yeah, weird times we're living in. You have unions not in line with the new left anymore. Dont know how long that will last, but they were historically aligned.
@@MJ-fj9yv .....ok....but we need unions to be strong again, in this nation. One reason Corporate America is behind the push for cheap labor (illegal labor migrants) is to skip out on benefits, and cutting out Labor unions. They dont have to provide insurance in most cases, and MANY are paid under the table. If they were dealing with citizen laborers, they'd have to pay them fairly.
Poor dumb workers still prefer to make corporate America rich. I had one guy tell me he was against unions for no apparent reason. Workers are brainwashed in believing unions are corrupt when its their corporate masters that are paying low wages with no benefits.
Recent revelation of your channel, came to me as a fresh breeze in rotten YT ecosystem. I have high appreciation for elaborate investigative work as well for the way you glue it altogether - into concise storyline. Spiced up with Detroit "street wiseness"🤙 & your voice - makes it unique. I spent days browsing your channel - and every second spent was worth of it😃! Jimmy Hoffa video tops the range, tip of the hat for it! Much respect & all the best from Belgrade, Serbia
Hell of a mess of a movie. If it didn’t have its pedigree, there is no way people would like it as much. (Side note: I do agree with the majority that Joe Pesci was great.)
By the way. Michael Franzese, son of Sonny Franzese, who recently released from jail at age 100, said Jimmy Hoffa is in water somewhere.....he didn't say where, or who did it. Look it up. Interesting story.
“ A fairy named Ferry”. The fact that the writer included him in this movie is amazing to me, and if you think Frank’s story is interesting, go research the story of David Ferry. Ironically, Pesci gave one of his all time performances portraying Ferry in Oliver Stone’s JFK. 😎
Al Profit Very awesome documentary Al. I love your documentaries and I can tell you guys put a lot of work into your research. I just recently bought “The Purple Gang” on DVD from 1959. I’m waiting for an awesome in-depth documentary about the Bernstein bros and Fred “Killer” Burke to one day appear and I’m all over it. But seriously, I’ve watched all your docs at least 5-6times now. Keep up the amazing work. You deserve your own television series!
Why, oh why are you not in the movie business? You are absolutely gorgeous, but I'm sure you know that! Lol! Love the uploads. Have followed the mafia since the 1960's which was rather difficult in the bog holes of rural Ireland. I was a voracious reader! Meeting them up close was such a disappointment. Thank you for your much appreciated industry!
Watching from near STL MO!! It's a well known fact that the Detroit Partnership and the Chicago Outfit were allied with our STL Mob, which was predominantly the Giordano Crime Family and the Cuckoo Gang, headed up by the Syrian "Horseshoe" Jimmy Michaels. Matter of fact, the person who succeeded Tony G as boss of the STL Mob was his nephew, Mike Trupiano, who came here from Detroit. Great documentary. I do wish someone would make a doc or movie of the Giordano era of the STL Mob though. Anyone who cares to look into it, it's very interesting!! It was Anthony "Tony G" Giordano who actually declared STL as independent from the KC Family. Anyway... Again, great piece of work!!
After seeing the Irishman, it’s hard to believe that Hoffa was that disrespectful towards certain mob figures. If that’s true, no wonder he got whacked
Dude,Pacino portrays him as a rambling idiot in the movie. They literally tell him to "retire" or they gonna whack him and he´s "Nah.. it´s all cool bruh." People got killed by the Mob for less and he´s acting like he´s untouchable. The whole plotline as it is presented in the movie,is not only historically inaccurate but actually retarded. The real Hoffa wanted to make a deal with the feds,to avoid another conviction and rat out his mafia buddies. That´s why they made him disappear.
They really made Jimmy disappear. I'm fascinated by this turn of events. One of the biggest mystery in the world. He had enough money and infamy when he got out. He could of just relaxed and disappeared. Hopefully that's exactly what he did.
Alot of mob guys disappeared because they had their limbs broken and we're stuffed in metal 55 gallon drums and they were filled with hydrochloric acid until the bodies completely dissolved
@@mikeywhispers1588 actually that would be bags of lime hoffa died in nevada desert between vegas and reno broke down bought or comandeared a vehical flashed to much money a marksman veteran with a 303 rifle took him out with 2 friends with him. the vet took the money and ran to vegas to be big man ran his mouth in casinos or flashed to much cash was killed by casino mobsters and found dead in alley behind casino mobsters did not kill hoffa knowingly or not avenged him and got the money Hoffa had a tommy gun with his name carved in it Ive seen the tommy gun and peiced the rest together I assure you its accurate
How is it a mystery? He made too much noise and earned himself the same treatment that jfk, Malcom x, Martin Luther King Jr and Bobby Kennedy got in the 60s.
I will always be pro-Union. Always. My dad was a Steamfitter local 342 out of Concord CA. He sponsored my brother. When he was working he made decent money. When there was a strike (this was the early 70’s) times were hard but we did have some help from the Union. All my life I’ve known that nobody ever cared for the working man but The Union. The Reagan years were pretty much the death knell for Unions and Bush Jr nailed some of the last nails in the coffin. California still has some Unions but other States have next to none and many Union underpinnings have been gutted by destructive GOP State Legislation. The GOP is in the back pocket of Corporations who HATE organized Labor... My dad was well aware of the Mafia/Hoffa ties, in fact he knew a lot of things that weren’t common knowledge. Remember, in those days the Mafia was still semi secret. It didn’t become exposed on a national scale until “The Valachi Papers” book came out...
Yeah used to have lots of strikes here at the coal mines. Used to bring in company thugs to beat them with chains and bats. Bad enough the coal company didn't even pay you real money, you got script that could only be spent in the store owned by the coal mine.
This Is Really an amazing documentry, the only issue I had was that "Amazon Prime" logo taking up most of the screen and on the heads of the people talking........
I finally found this channel. I was cleaning out most channels and accidentally unsubscribed to this channel. Tried for 3 days to find it. Soon as I heard the voice and accent style as it should be for these types of episodes. Could sit here all day just listening. Also why I love Sopranos. Tue accents is awesome. Glad I found this place again. Watching episodes on Hoffa.
Not the subject of this video, but I'd love to know more about how the Taft-Hartley Act messed up governance within the unions. The history of the union movement gets scant attention in the US, and what little it gets tends to be slanted against unions.
Al you're pulling my leg advertising this as a Marty, Bobby and Joe flick and then getting an Al flick and I don't mean Pacino it's a for Profit. You're a good man Charlie Brown.
I'll always have the utmost respect for Jimmy Hoffa, and I think it's a real Shame whatever was done to this Great Man, especially that his family weren't even given the opportunity to Lay the Man to Rest. God Rest Bless James R. Hoffa 🙏🌹
He was a cowardly bully. He tried to have my grandfather killed over union contracts. he quicky realized not even his mob buddies were capable of taking on my famiy. They all would have died if they tried to escalate it any further after my aunts and uncles sent the mob goons running scared like the wop cowards they were.
Yeah thats right work your whole life in low paid job, pay into a union that lets some thug take that money to invest in drugs or gambling to ensure that him and his family never have to work. What you are saying is be a slave and be happy about it. Ridiculous.
1) "WE?" You speak as if you & others around you were involved as well. WOW... how arrogant plus I don't believe it. 2) Respect is earned not just given to some punks just because they can pull a trigger. Guns point the other direction as well. Their just people & they bleed just the same.
Thank you much for your content and I love your work! This is a historic video as I been a member of the UAW over 20 years and this video has helped me immensely in many ways of understanding unions in a wide range ❤️
Your welcome bro. Keep up the good work.. I've been a fan for a while now. Very interesting and informative documentaries. I learn something new with each one.
It is really good. Plus it points out how full of shit Frank Sheeran is. I mean the same guy who claims he was involved in the Gallo hit (which everyone knows is bull) and that he delivered the guns in the Kennedy assassination. Come on!
Al Profit… you nailed it man. This is a subject I’ve been on for a long time, and you tied all of it together with the accurate missing pieces most of us were missing. Mind blown man. Well done sir. Please do more content on the mob, personally I love it. So much of it is tied to our government and needs it to be exposed.
All of Detroit was sure that Hoffa was dead and figured he was feeding the fishes in the Detroit River by the next day. Tony and the family were very close and the Family would have been together at this time. very close and the parents. It is hard to believe that Sherrington flew into Pontiac airport as that is a 2 hour drive to the pickup point. There is a closer airport.
dale watts I Agree 100 With U, Al Is Top Of the Game..& I Always Find & learn things that I didn’t know...(Another Good doc Guy Is Troy Reed.. If U Like Street Hustle An Gangsters check him out..) But Al & Troy I Think are the 2 Best.! A little help from UR COUSIN’S ACROSS THE POND (as U Guys say..) 🇺🇸🇬🇧
I can't believe you mentioned Gladio, a big mover behind the scenes of politics, homegrown terrorism and unsolved mysteries in Italy during the Cold War.
16:02 "...Kennedy (RFK) really had this Paternalistic idea of himself, this idea of 'Noblesse oblige', or the thought that it is the responsibility of the wealthy and privileged to help their lessers." Wow, let's keep in mind that the Kennedy brothers' father: Joe Kennedy was a Senator, an ambassador to Ireland later in life, and absolutely understood the game of American politics very well, indeed. Well, what else do we know for sure about Joe K.? He was a *BOOTLEGGER DURING PROHIBITION!!* So, let us not deceive ourselves here, with ideas of 'Noblesse oblige' or empowering the less privileged. These two guys knew a thing or two about the mob, because their own father was heavily involved with them, that's just not debatable here anymore. Therefore: when they came into great power, they went after the mob not because they 'suspected' they were involved in the labor movement and many other things, they went after them because THEY ABSOLUTELY KNEW all about the things they were doing!! Joe Kennedy paid the mob to help get John elected! That's why they were so hated by the mobsters, they betrayed them. They saw the mob control over the labor force as a parasitic force that needed to be dealt with, so they could help the economy grow, and because they knew just how much it took to keep your business going, and that money that went to the mob, was choking the American economy. That was money they could be getting in the form of bribes and payoffs. This man Anastasia, has a much more accurate view of the situation than the other man. "It was almost part of the human condition: that much wealth, that much power, it was just inevitable." Great documentary, AP. 😎🇺🇸

@@alprofityou are a superstar in this game, during the past decade+ i always got excited seeing you or your name in a documentary. Doc could be about ant farm gangland or watching St Valentines Day paint drying massacre and i would watch 👍🏻
Who else is a documentary lover? Any good doc suggestions?
Yeah i seen that it was so good!
Try blood upon the snow. Very good 10 part series on Stalin.
Joseph Theis ill check it out i love history docs thanks
YOU MEAN 75
Day in the life of dictator. Very good, basic and little deeper digging documentary of 3 dictators: Stalin, Idi Amin & Gaddafi. Told by relatives and people who were present at their lifes, and interestingly digs into the fears and paranoia of each dictator.
"Hi Frank, it's Jimmy Hoffa. I heard you paint houses?"
Er yes I also do my own carpentry work!
Imagine if he said I do my own plumbing too lmao
And landscaping if needed. 😂
Yeah jimmy pretty damn good at roofing to..
@@onlyme9254 "nice to meet you too even if its over the phone"
Al, well done & thanks for posting this here for us to checkout!
Your lawyer is already dead
Frank: who got him?
That's the question of a man who incorporates death with murder and forgetting about diseases. The Irishman is great! Just finished watching it a while ago.
cancer
That part made me laugh so hard. Then sad once I really thought about it.
They were talking about Ray Romano's character right?
Where did you get that fish??
Great doc! Thank you! I read the book "I heard you paint houses" by Charles Brandt, last summer & have been anxiously awaiting the movie.

Great book... can’t wait for this movie either.👍
I love watching random documentaries about shit that happened. I watch a little of everything. I seem far more Interested in the past than the future.
Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it
We learn from the past to help prepare for the future. Not the other way around. 👍
Did you watch the iceman confessions? Richard kuklinski
@Savage Cabbage That's not actually the real reason. The reason people enjoy history is because you and i can look upon it with judgemental eyes. It's a simple case of "obvious in hindsight" You have the full story and facts after the event. If we knew what was going to happen in the future you can be sure that would also be as equally interesting. But we don't. So we dwell in the past. We, humans, are excellent at dwelling (although we rarely learn lessons from past mistakes.) This is a perfect example of it.
the past is always an outline for the future. The best War Generals + soldiers + heavy weights who made real change were ALWAYS STUDENTS OF HISTORY. Mel Gibson in "The Patriot" year 2000, took out groups of 20-30 men w/ himself and 2 underage sons. How? Guerilla Warfare aka ... balls out, freestyle, take hits hide, take hits, hide. Against that dumb line up and get killed while I take 2 minutes to reload by rifle? him and 2 middle schoolers took out entire regimines. You think they were the 1st to employ that method? They either came up w/ it themselves... or had had they're own soldiers pieced up by Native American's who took them apart like a wet paper bag with 3 Indians, 2 horses, bow and arrows and some hatchets... What you don't know will kill you when History is concerned.

One of the most profound quotes from a movie franchise filled with profound quotes.
@@bookswithbenjamin8902 profound indeed
Yaaaaawwwwwnnnn more lame film quotes how original...
Wasn't Mad psycotic Michael Coeleome a criminal underworld gangster when he was supposed to have said that during the film? Just because a criminal opens his mouth. That is not proof or the words being true.
@@MikeGreenwood51 Just because the wisdom comes from a criminal does not make what he said any less true. History is proof enough that what he said was true.
Amazing the amount of history came out of Detroit. I was born and raised here and as a kid had no idea of the mob activity. It was right on par with Chicago and New York.
It wasn’t right on par but that’s exactly why they were the hardest syndicate to infiltrate
@@SourD72
I agree. There seem to be two eras or maybe three for organizized crime and Detroit only saw the 20s-70s action. Unlike New York that saw it well into the 80s, 90s with the new and last era of John Gotti type of figures.
My old bather told me a story of his uncle being shot dead in his backyard, in west Detroit in the 70s. His murder is still unsolved but he supposedly had dealings with the mob. It tripped me out because hes black. His family will never know why.
Fuk no....nowhere near NY....u trippin. Distant 2nd to the CHI. Smdh
@@tytanikd6473
Right. Detroit may have been a safe haven. You know how many times in a gangster flick I heard "so in so came down from Detroit for a meeting"? Haha. Just thought they picked a random city. Peace
I was in the middle of it and lived next door to GM headquarters. I was a bartender for a mafia family and served drinks to Giacalone every week. I drove my boss to a meeting at Macus Red Fox just two days before Hoffa disappeared from there. Giacalone and Provenzano met with one of the three brothers that I worked for. I was told that Hoffa would never be seen again.
so glad all these good paying union jobs are gone so that Walmart and China can earn all the profits
In the words of Led Zeppelin “ Bring it baaack!”
We are owned by China. CHINA OWNS US!!!!!!!
M C you really think that will happen?
@@calburge4338 to say that we are owned by China is to absolve U.S corporations and the U.S government of any responsibility. The onus is all on them not China.
So glad I work at a great paying union job
If you live by the sword you die by the sword.
Matthew 26:52
Lived in that area most of my life and finding Hoffa's body is a well known joke. The local newspaper, The Oakland Press, would run a story every year on the anniversary of his disappearance and the media in Detroit would fall over themselves when anything came up like 1:15:43 which happened at least once a year over nothing.
You are Right On! Pontiac here!
who's here after watching the irishman?
me
Is it necessary to watch this documentary or watch HOFFA movie before watching the Irishman!?? Help please
@@mariesmith9768 Thank you so much for answering my question 🌷
Me
Well the movie takes some liberties with the story frank sheeran confessed killing hoffa.. as an old man decades after he disappeared ( triying to sell his book ) their is no hard evidence of this so i guess we will never really know ..
Love how an Amazon Prime ad sticks in the upper right hand side. Super awesome. 😖
I’m a mob movie fan and The Irishmen is one of the best. I particularly enjoyed Joe Pesci’s performance.
Largely B's but great flic
Its a great movie but it's absolute nonsense. Frank Sheeran is like the Forest Gump of the Mob lmao.
Jimmy Hoffa was reported seen getting into a Mercury Marquis, and they show him getting into a Chevy Caprice. Great attention to detail.
Roy Clark If I recall correctly, the car used to grab him was a Buick lesabre . It was chuck O’Briens car. They found jimmys hair and blood in the trunk.
It was a red Mercury Marquis that Hoffa got into. Driven by Chuckie O’Brien and owned by one of the Giacolones.
Al Profit really tears the shit open and gets all of the facts. All of his documentaries are excellent, extremely well investigated and presented. Another fabulous one Al!
That's why he's the prophet
HELL, I AGREE!!! Also, at 76+ I read about this as I was GROWING UP!! Remember GREEDY BUSINESS created the ''''GREAT DEPRESSION ''' of '''' BLACK TUESDAY!!! 74 - 75 half I drove a TRUCK, and this FILLED the C/B"s AIR WAVES !!!🤠
Drink evert time he says MABB
My dad was a coal miner, my mom was a teamster, I paint houses in the dark. In America you either work hard your entire life or you take the lives of those who exploit us.
why you painting in the dark? turn a light on fool!
In america, you're better off just selling useless crap to suckers. No effort needed when you're surrounded by them.
May I say, it's your life, you get to decide if you wanna work for yourself or someone else. You gotta be smart enough to know that you'll never make money working for someone else.
I heard you paint houses
What color, red!
I have learned more history during this Pandemic watching these vids than ever.My father was a Teamster in Indiana back in the day.Bravo Al love your channel!👏❤️
You are a liar
he couldnt get a real job ehh had to go suck mafia cock..does his girl take after daddy..blowing dipshits lmao
My dad was a teamster in the 70s and 80s. Dad always spoke highly about hoffa and the union. We need a good leader nowadays
Thank you, Mr J. for showing the Family in the real light!
I personally ran into Tony Pro on a Cleveland street. Two bodyguards at about 20 yards on each side. We got off the sidewalk to let him and the man with him pass. They didn't acknowledge that we existed.
Why you would get off the sidewalk for him?
Dude, this is the best one you ever done. Thank u
I agree
Always gritty down to earth truth, no false story lines from you
Hoffa's father died of black lung disease from working in the coal mines, when Hoffa was 7 years old. His mother was an Irish Catholic immigrant.
We need some more Dillinger, Capone and Hoffa characters today to "rock the boat" and get people off their asses.
Jimmy Hoffa was one of the greatest men to have lived in the last 100 years. The man was a badass, and a very smart man. There will never be men like him anymore. The man had balls.
I agree
Now all the unions are lgbti.
Nothing but a Thug..
@@daltonturgott6063 He was not from your world of yellow brick roads and fairy dust. He was dealing with the trucking industry.
He had balls until they put slugs in his head. Then his balls were cut off.

My congratulations to the people who put this documentary together. This is truly one of the most well thought out well made and well put together documentary I've ever seen.
Ken burns would like to have a word with you
Al Profit is the 🐐 with this mafia/hood documentary genre. Play his whole playlist, you'll be stuck on the couch for the entire weekend... 🚬
That'd be the great AL Profit he's really talented
What an awesome documentary. No other has explained the whole situation in such a full manner........ Well done!
you think there gona say on youcensorship what happened to hoffa lmfao you must be about as stupid as these mafia morons lmao
Hoffa knew his murderer. Not just anybody could pick Jimmy up he had to feel he was safe. I think the "do you paint houses" book holds water.
Agreed
I agree with you. However, when Sheeran drove Hoffa to that house for the meeting, Sheeran was behind Hoffa as they entered the house. Hoffa never knew what hit him when he was shot from behind when Sheeran clipped him. It was just fade to black.
"I Heard You Paint Houses" ;-)
That's what he does in the Irishman he didn't know what hit him
@@travisgray7010 fucking christ I wanna see the movie soo baddds
I love E. True Hollywood story also Biography's and great Documentaries on Anyone or Anything in this life.
Such a great movie...so good to see pacino and deniro and pesci all together in another mafia film. And a great one at that...so i hear you paint houses...lol
BS Sooo boring ...Same ol' same ol'
Someonez Mom I can’t stand when ppl say it was boring! All three of them in one movie is enough! Name three ppl who are fucking with them and they are all old! Name one! Lol I’m not ranting at u btw. I’m just seeing looottts of ppl saying it’s boring like the douche above me
Deniro got his payback for Pacino killing him Heat 😏
Anyone who finds it boring must have the attention span of a 2 year old.. I was glued to the screen from start to finish... awesome movie.
It was a great film. A few expected inaccuracies but it was awesome seeing all 3 together for the first time.
The last guy is completely wrong. Hoffa was no angel but he did many great things for labor and unions, and he did care about that despite any of the wrong he did intentionally or unintentionally.
I’ve seen this numerous of times, it never gets old.. such a well made, edited documentary.
Yeah…i swear I’ve seen this on tv. Is this the Hoffa documentary?
Love the channel as a former club DJ in Detroit ( lived in st Clair shores and east Detroit)I have followed ur work for the last decade & hope u keep grinding it out and get the notoriety and success u deserve

Nancy Vazquez zoubantes?
Erich Von Wachter Yeah her husband must have not have wiped.
I grew up in aSteel working family in Pittsburgh. I'm now 70. My father and uncles loved Hoffa; they were all steelworkers - Teamsters. Actually, the movie with Jack Nickolson - Hoffa - was filmed in Pittsburgh. The reason, I think,that union members, like my dad, revered Hoffa was because brought the labor movement to the USA. Hoffa was born in 1914 (?). My dad was born in '20. Hoffa let power go to his head. He was not "schooled" but smart. He got into more than he bargained for. But "absolute power corrupts absolutely." He couldn't let go of the power after his pardon by Nixon. Interesting video on Hoffa. Guess NJ can stop looking for Hoffa under the goal line in the Meadowlands. When you lose, it's best to accept your defeat and walk away rather than like the need for your former power to consume you.
I’m a retired Teamster . Jimmy thought RFK was a punk. The Teamsters fund built Vegas. I thank Jimmy for the great job I had at ups . The Teamsters loaned Jim Casy ,the founder of ups ,to expand the company .
Punk used for RFK gives a bad name to punks. RFK was a spoiled rich kid whose father was a bastard and crook. JFK slept with an organized crime cohort. Lets not forget the murder of M. Monroe.......

The usefulness of strikes are coming back in the future .... ‘Big business and governments were never friends of the working man ‘
Yeah, weird times we're living in. You have unions not in line with the new left anymore. Dont know how long that will last, but they were historically aligned.
Go ahead try it, the new left = ANTIFA 😂. You couldn’t strike a match without lighting yourself on fire.
@@MJ-fj9yv .....ok....but we need unions to be strong again, in this nation. One reason Corporate America is behind the push for cheap labor (illegal labor migrants) is to skip out on benefits, and cutting out Labor unions. They dont have to provide insurance in most cases, and MANY are paid under the table. If they were dealing with citizen laborers, they'd have to pay them fairly.
Poor dumb workers still prefer to make corporate America rich. I had one guy tell me he was against unions for no apparent reason. Workers are brainwashed in believing unions are corrupt when its their corporate masters that are paying low wages with no benefits.
Still one of the best docs on YT !
N-O-T
Recent revelation of your channel, came to me as a fresh breeze in rotten YT ecosystem. I have high appreciation for elaborate investigative work as well for the way you glue it altogether - into concise storyline. Spiced up with Detroit "street wiseness"🤙 & your voice - makes it unique. I spent days browsing your channel - and every second spent was worth of it😃!
Jimmy Hoffa video tops the range, tip of the hat for it! Much respect & all the best from Belgrade, Serbia
The Irishman was a hell of a movie
Hell of a mess of a movie. If it didn’t have its pedigree, there is no way people would like it as much.
(Side note: I do agree with the majority that Joe Pesci was great.)
Great movie but Sheeran is a VERY unreliable narrator and after reading the book, I rate the majority of it as fiction.
Jungle Jesus INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE MOVIE I LOVE LOVE IT
tHAT EXACTLY THAT🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️✨✨🎯🎯😓😓
@@tjtaylor3446 me too Hoffa and Kennedy fat tony phil Tesla that was a great movie
By the way. Michael Franzese, son of Sonny Franzese, who recently released from jail at age 100, said Jimmy Hoffa is in water somewhere.....he didn't say where, or who did it. Look it up. Interesting story.
“ A fairy named Ferry”. The fact that the writer included him in this movie is amazing to me, and if you think Frank’s story is interesting, go research the story of David Ferry. Ironically, Pesci gave one of his all time performances portraying Ferry in Oliver Stone’s JFK. 😎
Pesci always does a good job. I liked the movie but the part with Hunt and Ferrie was a real stretch.
You’re right. Oswald was in the Civil Air patrol with David Ferry. Ferry was knee deep in the JFK hit.
Mr. J. Pesci an amazing actor, also Kevin Bacon in JFK did a wonderful job also.
Its david ferrie
Its david ferrie
awesome documentary... #Thankyou Al for uploading this...looking forward to your next vid...PEACE✌
The is great, real information not the same old clips .Solid watch .
Yes... we put a lot of work into it!
Al Profit Very awesome documentary Al. I love your documentaries and I can tell you guys put a lot of work into your research. I just recently bought “The Purple Gang” on DVD from 1959. I’m waiting for an awesome in-depth documentary about the Bernstein bros and Fred “Killer” Burke to one day appear and I’m all over it. But seriously, I’ve watched all your docs at least 5-6times now. Keep up the amazing work. You deserve your own television series!
Paul Hendrick except none of these fucks killed JFK gtfo
Why, oh why are you not in the movie business? You are absolutely gorgeous, but I'm sure you know that! Lol! Love the uploads.

Thank you for your much appreciated industry!
He deserves to be on the silver screen himself! He's gorgeous! Brains and brawn, swoooooon!
AL great work ,another fine documentary please keep them coming been watching for many years great job!
Very well put together brother. Good job.
Watching from near STL MO!! It's a well known fact that the Detroit Partnership and the Chicago Outfit were allied with our STL Mob, which was predominantly the Giordano Crime Family and the Cuckoo Gang, headed up by the Syrian "Horseshoe" Jimmy Michaels. Matter of fact, the person who succeeded Tony G as boss of the STL Mob was his nephew, Mike Trupiano, who came here from Detroit. Great documentary. I do wish someone would make a doc or movie of the Giordano era of the STL Mob though. Anyone who cares to look into it, it's very interesting!! It was Anthony "Tony G" Giordano who actually declared STL as independent from the KC Family. Anyway... Again, great piece of work!!
After seeing the Irishman, it’s hard to believe that Hoffa was that disrespectful towards certain mob figures. If that’s true, no wonder he got whacked
How is it hard to believe? He was hard headed
Dude,Pacino portrays him as a rambling idiot in the movie.
They literally tell him to "retire" or they gonna whack him and he´s "Nah.. it´s all cool bruh."
People got killed by the Mob for less and he´s acting like he´s untouchable.
The whole plotline as it is presented in the movie,is not only historically inaccurate but actually retarded.
The real Hoffa wanted to make a deal with the feds,to avoid another conviction and rat out his mafia buddies.
That´s why they made him disappear.
They really made Jimmy disappear. I'm fascinated by this turn of events. One of the biggest mystery in the world. He had enough money and infamy when he got out. He could of just relaxed and disappeared. Hopefully that's exactly what he did.
Alot of mob guys disappeared because they had their limbs broken and we're stuffed in metal 55 gallon drums and they were filled with hydrochloric acid until the bodies completely dissolved
@@mikeywhispers1588 actually that would be bags of lime
hoffa died in nevada desert between vegas and reno
broke down bought or comandeared a vehical flashed to much money
a marksman veteran with a 303 rifle took him out with 2 friends with him.
the vet took the money and ran to vegas to be big man ran his mouth in casinos
or flashed to much cash was killed by casino mobsters and found dead in alley
behind casino
mobsters did not kill hoffa knowingly or not avenged him and got the money
Hoffa had a tommy gun with his name carved in it
Ive seen the tommy gun and peiced the rest together
I assure you its accurate
How is it a mystery? He made too much noise and earned himself the same treatment that jfk, Malcom x, Martin Luther King Jr and Bobby Kennedy got in the 60s.
This was a really good documentary. Very in depth on all aspects of this many storied case. I don't think his remains will ever be found.
I will always be pro-Union. Always. My dad was a Steamfitter local 342 out of Concord CA. He sponsored my brother. When he was working he made decent money. When there was a strike (this was the early 70’s) times were hard but we did have some help from the Union. All my life I’ve known that nobody ever cared for the working man but The Union. The Reagan years were pretty much the death knell for Unions and Bush Jr nailed some of the last nails in the coffin. California still has some Unions but other States have next to none and many Union underpinnings have been gutted by destructive GOP State Legislation. The GOP is in the back pocket of Corporations who HATE organized Labor...
My dad was well aware of the Mafia/Hoffa ties, in fact he knew a lot of things that weren’t common knowledge. Remember, in those days the Mafia was still semi secret. It didn’t become exposed on a national scale until “The Valachi Papers” book came out...
THUMBS UP. Labor units have the right to fight for high wages in a free market system. Only an idiot doesn't get that
America doesn't seem to understand that and mix it up with communism!
Yeah used to have lots of strikes here at the coal mines. Used to bring in company thugs to beat them with chains and bats. Bad enough the coal company didn't even pay you real money, you got script that could only be spent in the store owned by the coal mine.
Dear All I just finished episode 4 of cocaine confirm and now I am watching this.. I just want to say thank you for all your hard work
Keep uploading the truth about our history... Love it!
Get rid of the "Killing Jimmy Hoffa" amazon prime video advertisement plastered on the screen!!!

K.im on my way. Bout 11. Three for a half..I didn't wake u from a good nod did I? Lol..cu soon.
I finally found this channel. I was cleaning out most channels and accidentally unsubscribed to this channel. Tried for 3 days to find it. Soon as I heard the voice and accent style as it should be for these types of episodes. Could sit here all day just listening. Also why I love Sopranos. Tue accents is awesome. Glad I found this place again. Watching episodes on Hoffa.
Not the subject of this video, but I'd love to know more about how the Taft-Hartley Act messed up governance within the unions. The history of the union movement gets scant attention in the US, and what little it gets tends to be slanted against unions.
Al you're pulling my leg advertising this as a Marty, Bobby and Joe flick and then getting an Al flick and I don't mean Pacino it's a for Profit. You're a good man Charlie Brown.
Yasss Al this documentary
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Probably the best documantry I've seen . 💪 big Doc!!
Quite a compliment! Thank u

NY ran Hoffa,Provenzano was a Genovese capo,and worked closely with Russell Buffolino and the Irishman
michaeladam caira new Jersey
"He was placed into a japanese car trunk and crushed, scrap metal sold off"
Same story told by dozens of people who never met or spoke with each other
I'll always have the utmost respect for Jimmy Hoffa, and I think it's a real Shame whatever was done to this Great Man, especially that his family weren't even given the opportunity to Lay the Man to Rest.
God Rest Bless
James R. Hoffa 🙏🌹
He was a cowardly bully. He tried to have my grandfather killed over union contracts. he quicky realized not even his mob buddies were capable of taking on my famiy. They all would have died if they tried to escalate it any further after my aunts and uncles sent the mob goons running scared like the wop cowards they were.
He was the workin man's best friend
“We did everything we could do for the Guy” Never disrespect Mobsters or you’ll end up in a crematorium!
Lisa’s Chi Chi’s you look bomb wassup
The mafia as well as gangs are a bunch of bullies who shouldn't be respected.
Yeah thats right work your whole life in low paid job, pay into a union that lets some thug take that money to invest in drugs or gambling to ensure that him and his family never have to work. What you are saying is be a slave and be happy about it. Ridiculous.
1) "WE?" You speak as if you & others around you were involved as well. WOW... how arrogant plus I don't believe it.
2) Respect is earned not just given to some punks just because they can pull a trigger. Guns point the other direction as well. Their just people & they bleed just the same.
It is what it is lol
Thank you much for your content and I love your work!
This is a historic video as I been a member of the UAW over 20 years and this video has helped me immensely in many ways of understanding unions in a wide range ❤️
Awesome documentary! Nice job Mr. Profit!!! I absolutely love this! I love these mobsters.

Thank u sir
Your welcome bro. Keep up the good work.. I've been a fan for a while now. Very interesting and informative documentaries. I learn something new with each one.
It's up there but I gotta go with the Frank Mathews one. It is interesting how both Jimmy and Frank disappear never to be seen again
It is really good. Plus it points out how full of shit Frank Sheeran is. I mean the same guy who claims he was involved in the Gallo hit (which everyone knows is bull) and that he delivered the guns in the Kennedy assassination. Come on!
Donnie Welshimer III lol how he literally said buffinlino was the boss of gambinos or some shit these dudes be reading shit
I watched this movie last night for the 4th time, It gets better with every viewing (Like most of Marty's films)
Al Profit… you nailed it man. This is a subject I’ve been on for a long time, and you tied all of it together with the accurate missing pieces most of us were missing. Mind blown man. Well done sir. Please do more content on the mob, personally I love it. So much of it is tied to our government and needs it to be exposed.
So who killed him
I LOVE documentaries!!!❤❤
All of Detroit was sure that Hoffa was dead and figured he was feeding the fishes in the Detroit River by the next day. Tony and the family were very close and the Family would have been together at this time. very close and the parents. It is hard to believe that Sherrington flew into Pontiac airport as that is a 2 hour drive to the pickup point. There is a closer airport.
Its like a 40 min ride

I can't believe you mentioned Gladio, a big mover behind the scenes of politics, homegrown terrorism and unsolved mysteries in Italy during the Cold War.
16:02 "...Kennedy (RFK) really had this Paternalistic idea of himself, this idea of 'Noblesse oblige', or the thought that it is the responsibility of the wealthy and privileged to help their lessers."
Wow, let's keep in mind that the Kennedy brothers' father: Joe Kennedy was a Senator, an ambassador to Ireland later in life, and absolutely understood the game of American politics very well, indeed. Well, what else do we know for sure about Joe K.? He was a *BOOTLEGGER DURING PROHIBITION!!*
So, let us not deceive ourselves here, with ideas of 'Noblesse oblige' or empowering the less privileged.
These two guys knew a thing or two about the mob, because their own father was heavily involved with them, that's just not debatable here anymore.
Therefore: when they came into great power, they went after the mob not because they 'suspected' they were involved in the labor movement and many other things, they went after them because THEY ABSOLUTELY KNEW all about the things they were doing!! Joe Kennedy paid the mob to help get John elected! That's why they were so hated by the mobsters, they betrayed them.

That was money they could be getting in the form of bribes and payoffs.
