I've heard all of this before. Still, this was great and beautifully handled 👏 Sammy can go on and on. I honestly love it when he does but he understood when you said this is all well known now. You were both great 👍 Hope to see more interviews like this.
My family moved here from Sicily because of the black hand. They moved to Chicago and had just as much trouble in the early 1920's. They ended up moving to Jersey and finally found peace from the mob. It was and still is no joke.
Very true skip, neighborhoods were safe, kids could play in the streets and women could walk safely at night without worrying about being brutally attacked…
@@Mark-eu4di yea and at the same time those women’s husband’s and children’s father’s were being extorted by the mob. “The mob only goes after people in that life” . Yea ok.
My family came from Calabria and my Grandfather was 1st generation. He worked his ass off until my Father was able to help him retire. I asked him once he if actually knew any mobsters. He told me "You stay away from those people. They help you once and they never leave you alone." There jokes about how he knew a guy who knew a guy. But when I spoke with him you could tell he wanted nothing to do with the mafia
Pretty much the same thing my Pops told me. He started a small bar after WWII and some Outfit guys wanted to loan him money. He told them, “No. I’ll make it or fail on my own.” He knew once they got their hooks in they’d never leave him alone. I’m happy to say he made it. One bar became two and we never wanted for anything.
My Grandmother who went trough Ellis Island from Italy. married my grandfather, 5 children (Roman Catholic-No birth Control), one severely disabled. Grandfather had a life changing coal mine injury. Went to the head of the Cosa Nostra in PA explained her circumstances. He listened carefully, told my grandmother to go back home and not to worry. Received Black Lung compensation for life, told my grandmother what pharmacy to visit, and what "nervous" hospital to take my Aunt to. She never paid another hospital/drug bill for the next 40 years. Only one time, when we went to a restaurant. Both my grandparents, with my grandmother in tears she walked over to his table. He stood up so quickly because she was a woman. My dad told me years later who that was and what he did for our family. I am forever grateful. That is a 100% fact.
If Megyn Kelly, would care to have my story vetted by her editors, with dates, hospital, pharmacy, etc? I doubt she would have any interest. Here is a little bit of a hint. They use to have a documentary on the gentleman, I would catch on TV. occasionally. That being said I have not seen it in maybe 20 years or better. Not the boss, but one of his made-men. Owned a very large new car dealership and my grandparents, Aunts and my dad always bought there cars from him.
@@jackiraq6710 Nope, it was much before Mr Franzese time. Maybe during his dads time but I wouldn't know. Remember PA and they all spoke fluent Italian. My grandparents spoke very little English. Thank you for guessing.
My aunts sister (my uncles wifes' sister) lived in Arizona, all she had was college aged food, she grabbed a can of soup but didn't have an opener. She went next door and asked her next door neighbor if she could borrow his. "Of course sweetheart, com on in", they had a 5 minute chat, he gave her the can opener and left, went back to return it, and he said, "you need anything sweetie, have some money as a welcome to the neighborhood", she wouldn't take it but was basically forced to in a nice way. A week later, dozens of cops came to his apartment and arrested him. It was Sammy The Bull Gravano, he was in the witness protection program and was dealing drugs. Don't look at Sammy like a monster, he only killed other monsters!
@Sauce Johnson: Wow! That’s an interesting story. Meanwhile, Our society makes heroes out of complete bums these days. Professional athletes that hate the country and fuel racial tension every time they open their big mouth. I can respect a man like Sammy or Michael Franzese. They’re real people and keep it 💯all the time….
@@saucejohnson9862 And why did he charge them? Because they were trying to kill somebody else! If they’re going to kill somebody in a private warehouse or something with nobody around well that’s different but would you do it in a public place you put other people at risk and that’s exactly what happened!
@@madrarua1246 sat behind your computer telling people to get a life now you are a person who needs to get a life people are only writing there opinions or how they like a certain genre of videos 😂
@@madrarua1246 Hahaha, these fanboys believe absolutely anything that comes out if his mouth. Anyone with half a brain call tell it's mostly narcissistic bullshit.
F. Lee Bailey was the lawyer whose name he forgot. Other than that moment, he seems to remember virtually everything he's ever been involved with, and can immediately recall events and people down to specific details. Amazing. He's a very careful listener and always thinks before speaking.
@@Budrob998 no, just the opposite. The guy is in his late 70s, it's perfectly understandable that he could momentarily forget someone's name. I'm not sure why you would think I was suggesting otherwise but whatever.
@Bud Rob yes. He’s a compulsive liar and an absolute moron, contradicts his own words and stories all the time. You have to be just as dense to not catch him
Americans have been fascinated with a lot of criminals. Back in the 1800's it was Jesse James and the Dalton gang. People used to get a thrill out of seeing news about Dillinger, Baby Faced Nelson etc. I see it as a lack of empathy. What if one of these people killed your family member or stole your life savings?
More crazy is our mainstream media hosts making up fake studies that say we saved lives droppingNuclear bombs, the size of cities, on Japan. Brainwashed and ignorant
I 1st heard Sammy the Bull on Jordan Harbinger podcasts and found his story’s interesting. I have kept listening to Sammy on his podcasts. Thanks for your interview Meghan
I would bet my life savings that he is a psychopath. When Megyn pressed him to see if he had any remorse I figured she was going to be disappointed! It’s hard to wrap your mind around the fact that someone can be a good husband and father and go out an murder people without batting an eye.
Several of the serial killers that got caught later in life also were said to be good family men. I am not so sure Sammy was though, I bet he was far more of a violent destructive personality at home than he admits. You can tell even talking to Megyn, if she pushed a bit more than she had, he was going to become enraged.
I think his perception of murder is different. Their mentality is that they only killed each other involved in that life, such as you would view a soldier at war. We don’t consider them murders, anyone who defends their family from home invaders we don’t all them murders. It’s all about perception and what society deems right and wrong
Do you realize what Sammy says is all lies? It is a fact that Sammy did kill his partners and other people and took over their businesses or rackets. This is not an opinion. Many people he killed, he ended up taking over their businesses.....He killed a 16 yr old kid named Allen Kaiser and now tries to blame Louie Milito. Remember one thing dead men can't talk. Do you think John Gotti if still alive would just nod and agree with everything Sammy is saying now?
Very different, sort of like her true crime pieces. I got sucked in, I can't believe it, I could not stop watching. I just love Megyn, fantastic interview, hypnotic. Megyn Kelly is one of the best interviewers in the business. I would not have watched this had it not been Megyn. One of the best shows on utube, again, just love Megyn Kelly.
The life in the mafia is a treacherous life. I experienced it for about 7 years and the things I’ve learned there are priceless. There’s NO loyalty at all yet guys know how to create a strong atmosphere where it looks like it is. I went to prison and a guy owed me $40,000. I sent someone to get my money from him to pay my attorney and give the rest to my family. He refused to pay me saying he’s broke yet he had a lot of money. He then put my name in a murder mystery and in return I was viewed as a killer by law enforcement. I knew right then that the life was no good.
I worked at IBM in Endicott, NY. The mob moved from NYC to Endicott when Bobby Kennedy went after the mob. My friend at IBM had a daughter who married John Gotti’s son. He told me that he warned his daughter that they may never see her after the wedding. The Gotti’s had two receptions. One for the Gotti’s and one for the in-laws. My friend was NOT invited to the Gotti reception where his own daughter was. He hadn’t seen his daughter since the wedding ceremony. I worked in Endicott in the mid 1980’s.
@@kellyandjulieelander5523 Yeah. I never heard of John Gotti at the time. I grew up in Buffalo and the Magadino family were in charge of the mafia there. My friend’s cousin was murdered there. He was an idiot and was dating the Don’s grand daughter and slapped her and gave her a black eye. He was found in the trunk of a burning car in the junk yard.
WOW! It shows the control Gotti(the son) had over the daughter! He is a bad seed just like his father and just as cocky! He comes across to me as a punk because of his cockiness.
Sorry if I’m missing the point but why the separate receptions and distance in the relationship? I’m not trying to be obtuse but I really want to know why.
Reading the lengthy Wikipedia article as a prologue is breath-taking. Riveting interview. A rare inspection of a criminal mind. This man is a survivor par excellence. Even now, at 77, you can feel his energy, his vitality radiating love of living (his own). And be impressed by his lucidity, how he managed to maintain his sanity through all this turmoil, and the amazing strength of his arms and shoulders. No wonder they called him "the bull".
@@michele-kt he is far way from psychopath lol he aint going around and killing anyone who isn't in the same position as him Say what you wanna say about him he it's true family gangster man lol
44:57-46:06 Now, as a military veteran, and although I have never been to war, I can say her statement is entirely candyass modern-day stupidity. I have heard of stories where the nation's heroes, and I'm talking about armed forces, have had to kill children for various reasons. Killing is never good, so people need to respect their nation's military and law enforcement. However, killing is essential under certain circumstances to uphold liberty, freedom of life, and the right to live. Looking back at Vietnam when the U.S. troops were called baby killers makes me think of how novice a society can be regarding life in general. Obviously, Sammy was not doing his work for the military. He was doing it for what he deemed a righteous cause. Young men, I'm going to exclude women, we have a duty in life, and we find it in many things. Sammy just so happened to find his in Cosa Nostra. Sammy believed it to be his path, as many soldiers, law enforcement, firefighters, and even college students believed in their path. That's life, whether we agree with it or not. Now, look at Sammy. He is doing good and doesn't relive those bad times. We all made terrible decisions, but I think there is a good heart at the end of 90% of what Sammy has been involved with. So to question and be so judgmental? Take a look at your own life and compare it to the society you live in and you will see the flaws in your own life. I would recommend shutting up and being the best person you can be. Taking the high horse isn't always easy, but its necessary most times.
*SAMMY ALWAYS GIVES AN HONEST INTERVIEW. NO EGO, NO BS. PRODUCERS HEADS WERE SPINNNING WHEN SAMMY REVEALED INFORMATION ABOUT JAMES CAHN...MOB TIES. can never get an interview like this from johnny alite*
It’s nothing for us to learn . He needs to learn from us. God created us and gave us the free will. Don’t blame on god for your stupid crime. If he is not going ask for forgiveness, he is going straight to hell.
Congratulations. What a utterly fascinating interview. I think the biggest take for me is that he lived two different lives at the same time. A devoted family man with what seems like decent morals and then the flip side, a ruthless murderer. As I said....Fascinating!
Actually it was his daughter anf son that got caught up in it and sammy got involved because of them and ultimately took the blame to stop them going to jail . Look up the podcast shaun atwood just did about sammy and he was in the drugs in arizona as well @CastingCrue2023
You seem to forget he is a greedy , cruel , sociopath that Mastered the art of self-preservation ! He and John Gotti wacked a boss without permission and the families accepted it because these guys were old school badass and feared what may happen if they screwed up taking them out . So why on earth would you think he has any sympathy for his victims or there families, when he goes to hell the devil will offer him special treatment if he tells him where Jimmy Hoffa is buried lol
Sammy Gravano, talks straight whatever he has done in the “Life he chose” he makes no apologies for his life, he is a true gangster plain and simple! He is very articulate and is such a great storyteller, his recollection of events and crimes is so impressive! The show went by very quickly, Megan Kelly, is such an articulate journalist her calm and direct speaking skill is incredible even at moments when she was taken aback she kept professional and respectful, I’m sure she could have continued the conversation for 3-4 hours. Excellent show!
It's fascinating to hear this man rationalize his actions. The reasons he claims to have made his first kill and decided to turn coat are hearsay, however he presents them without any doubt about their validity.
Look, everything he talks about, he has a way to spin it as if he was the good guy out of all of them, almost gets away with some things by how he justifies his actions. Another thing he is lying about is that the only reason he turned on Gotti is because Gotti was going to blame him. That is a made up story to justify why he ratted. If he ratted on John to get back at him, then what is his excuse for ratting on hundreds of others. He literally told on guys who he had been friends with for years. He talked because he wanted out of jail, no other reason. He destroyed many of his good buddies life's, put them in jail for years, but is able to justify it cause he was mad at Gotti. He is a liying bum. He is not a tough guy, he is a guy who was tough because he carried a gun and was a monster. There were half a million men walking the streets of New York that would have smashed him like a bug in a fair fight. He claims many of his friends were tough fighting men, then you look em up and they were 6' 295 pounds of pure fat. I'd say maybe 20% were real tough guys and his 5'5 180 lb ass is not one of them. He claims to have been good with his hands and that he boxed. Teddy Atlas who was a trainer at the gym he boxed at said basically he could not fight, and that guys would go easy on him cause they new he was a mob guy
Meet mad Sam DeStefano from Chicago and you will know who a tough guy is like New York too much but I like you now Sammy I don't know why you seem to be a good guy you're one of the last ones left but Chicago will beat the crap out of New York
He calls BS but he is going to meet his maker and he won’t be able to “negotiate “ his afterlife. He’s totally delusional and deceived by demons. Thankful to Megyn for confronting him with morality!
EXACTLY! You said what I was thinking just about word for word. He's nothing but an old, wrinkly bull soon to be rotating on his own spit, slowly roasting for eternity 😈
Sammy Gravano sounds like he’s arrived at the wrong conclusions about a lot of things. He’s 77 years old; he should quit kidding himself about his “honorable” life.
@@KPKelly I disagree. A serial Killer is usually terribly ill and has serious psychological issues. A gangster is just too lazy to do real work for a living. So much so that they are willing to kill to avoid working a normal job. That's even more despiccable than a crazy person serial killing. Only thing worse is a school shooter.
@@grunchlk He does fit the written description, which is why I used the term. Though he obviously had a different motive and mindset than most serial killers. But that many people, over that many years...You could argue it either way. He is more of a Ted Bundy type, in that he can blend in well in normal society, can intellectually justify anything, though obviously not as smart or as ruthless as Bundy. It is almost like its own category of a serial killer to me. You could say that if not for the mafia, he would not have murdered, but, there is a "if not for" with most serial killers too. Perhaps saying just saying a murder is less controversial...I think everyone would agree he was a murderer, not a soldier as he claims.
Nice interview but the reason he did those killings is because he was told too and if he denied it, then that’s a death sentence, so in a way, he had to comply.
I’m glad to see Meghan control the conversation with Sammy. Sammy has a way of rambling on and she kept him from going there. He and Micheal Franzise did a bio about the mob with Patrick David Bet. PDP Podcast. And their “sit down “ was great. Micheal called him out on some of his Bravado and Bragging and how he broke the mafia code. It was respectful for the most part. But Sammy didn’t like being called out one bit. It was basically Micheal being honest about the mob life and Sonny trying to glorify it.
Michael was being hipocrytical there though because he also broke the code of silence when he testified. And Michael tries to imply that he committed murder when he never did, so thats him trying to brag about something he didnt even do. He makes out he doesbt think its a good life but he still brags abt the money he made feom his scam, so hes not better than Sammy there really. Hes not a murderer no, but as i say he does tey to imply that he is, so thats not good, especially when hes supossed to be a christian. At least Sammy honest.
@@dannick9442 Mike was implicated in 5 murders… the case got thrown out. You’re not being in that life and certainly not a Captain if you haven’t killed someone on orders from the boss
@@jackiraq6710 That's not true bro. They only brought the rule in that you had to be involved in a hit after Donnie Brasco, Michael was made before then. Michael has also admitted before on an earlier video that he was making too much money on the scam that he was involved in for them to want to use him to be involved with any of their violence and has said on other videos that they didn't use their money makers for the violence because that wouldve risked them losing them to jail and therefore the boss would be loosing out on their cut of the profits from those money makers, he has said those who commit the violence generally don't really earn much money, some do, but others are the ones who are given the no show jobs which is sometimes there only income. I dont doubt for a minute that Michael was implicated in 5 murders, he was a member of an organisation that was full of killers, so for him to get pulled into some of his fellow member offences as far as the police investigations were concerned, that was more or less inevitable for him. I have never been involved with any organisation thats known to have lots of killers as members, nor have i had close associates who are known killers, but i have been under investigation for a murder which i never did, so that really doesnt mean anything bro.
@@dannick9442 I hear you but you just typed everything Michael has said. If I were a killer on TH-cam I’d tell my viewers I’ve never killed anyone also. He has no legal immunity from murder so if he speaks on it, he’ll be investigated and arrested. Basically what you’re saying is, Mike is the only guy in the history of the mob that got in without killing someone… Mike was actually made in ‘78, it’s a fact and can be researched. Colombo former soldier Sal Micciota flipped on Mike and talked about Mike being apart of the murder of Americus Scotese to gain membership into the family. I beg you just research a bit before you respond
. . . this episode, is another "best of!" You are soo gifted in interviewing & asking the best questions, Megyn. I sat on the edge of my seat during the whole interview. I loved how you brought it all back to Sammy's faith in God in the last minute. Wow! What an ending (I hope Sammy finds Jesus--he is so deceived). And then your honest reaction to it all after the episode ended. You are so relatable & get to the truth in our upside-down world. Periodically, I "clean-up" my youtube channel subscriptions to simplify my life, yet, your channel is a "keeper," Megyn. Your staff is amazing too. On top of the latest news updates that relate during the episode--James Cann was a legend, so interesting to learn what we learned during your episode, may he rest in peace. Just another "best of"--good job & thank-you so much, Megyn & team.
Sammy The Bull did not commit 19 murders. He was involved in 19. He was either the shooter, the planner, driver, ect. But did not pull the trigger 19 times.
I agree with Sammy on "religion" being bull. I'm a born again Christian, and believe that God knows who belongs to Him. If they're His sheep, He will come for them, no matter how far away they are from Him.
It's not about a religion it's all about a relationship with Jesus Christ. Being a born again believer one knows they must repent and ask God for forgiveness, that I don't hear him doing.
I truly enjoy Megyn and have respect for her. I enjoy her podcast........HOWEVER, I have to say, I don't think interviewing these types of people is her strong suit at all. She is excellent w anything news and politics, but not these. Stopped halfway through, not due to him, but her. AGAIN ......complete respect for Megyn, I just hope that she sticks to her expertise. People benefit from that
Agreed. She could of a lot more out of him had she approached this different. Sammy is fully aware of his past, he is here being open about history and being a window into how this life was. She needs to leave opinions at the door like a professional
Agree. She ruins or messes up everything she ends up being part of. She messed this up too. She must be a great lay bc somehow she keeps her job. She talks from a high and mighty standpoint when she's a person that won't be remembered by anybody but her family in 30 to 40 years from now.
This is so sad. There are not many ways to God, only one Way, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Jesus Christ. “This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” 1 Timothy 2:3-5 ESV I hope “Sammy” comes to know the Truth.
Actually. Sammy’s dad had connections. Sammy’s dad was being protected from other mafia members. Sammy grew up on the streets. With the Rampers I believe it was called. Sammy was about to shoot the one mob member for threatening his dad. Bit the Mon memeber changed his view as he found out Sammy’s dad was protected. Sammy ended up in the mafia later on in life.
Who knew it would take a petite woman to pull the best answers out of Sammy the Bull... Good for Megyn Kelly for actually having the balls to ask hard & unique questions ♥️
Sammy is the worst mobster ever. Failure. He murdered one boss. Ratted another out. Brought down his own mafia family. No honor. Got only 5 years for 19 murders. What did he do with that break? He got his own family long prison terms for running a drug ring. Total fk up.
yet he is still making money either from podcasts or other legit endeavors. He lost his wife but still has close ties with his son, daughter and granddaughter which is saying something because in that life there is no honor and you lose everything....but he recovered in his old age.
He can believe what ever he wants but the Word of God says differently. We all need to ask forgiveness for our sins and believe and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord in order to be saved.
Great Interview, Megyn Kelly!! Just wish you would’ve touched on a his view of Rudy Giuliani who actually began the process of removing crime in NYC as Mayor at that time…
I've watched a number of Sammy's podcasts, but I stopped watching them because his stories sounded contrived. I came to think that everything out of his mouth was a lie and that it was a total waste of my time.
@@josflorida5346 I like Megyn, but I didn't watch the whole video. I noticed that she seemed skeptical of his account a few minutes in and stopped watching at the point. This guy is a career criminal. Lying comes with the territory. He seems to make up the story as he goes along. His podcast is a complete waste of time. He's profiting from his misdeeds, but not at my expense.
I truly feel sometimes that at least old school mob neighborhoods from the 40's thru 80's were far safer, happier, and overall far better off than they are today without them.
Watched your interview and I can relate to Mr. Sammy Gravano. As a little boy growing up in dyker Heights brookly in the 60 70 & 80 yes the neighborhood was filled with mafias and you know what yes, I did feel more safer never heard about a rap, stabbing car jacking robbery . Now, Brooklyn in my area absolutely sucks. There are shootings stabbings its shameful and yes, the mafia would never go after a civilian. The mafias keep the neighborhood clean and safe better then the government. I also believe what Mr. Gavano says I believe in God but that's a out all everything else is bullshit and mad up

Megyn, this was a fascinating interview! You should really try to get Michael franzeze on. He’s another really interesting former mob guy who actually owns what he did.
This is the best MKS I've viewed. Such deep insights. Megyn's problem of understanding Gravano is a microcosm of America trying to put Russia and China into its perspective. There are things that you better not change.
I wonder if one day there will be college classes in the history of the Five Families and organized crime in the U.S. - if there are not already - and Sammy’s incredibly detailed podcast will be a primary source.
Wow... the simple twists of fate. In the early 60's my boy scout leader who was an Los Angeles cop took us boys on an excursion to the police stations drunk tank on a Saturday morning. I saw twenty-five guys, mostly disheveled, in one big cell with one toilet in the middle. I swore I'd never break the law... and to this day I drive 5mph under the speed limit. I stay clear of even the gray areas. At 70 I've never been arrested. The few times I've gotten pulled over for some traffic thing the officer always looks dejected upon running my license. I just say, "not the guy you were looking for?"
@Canatola Khoemini what is your point? You read someone else's comment and were too empty in the head to find anything to understand or comprehend? But not to be only a little stupid, you chose to leave a comment confirming you mum is your sister and your dad's your brother. Well done chum...
Ill be perfectly honest, If I have a chance to meet anyone on the face of this earth, It will be Sammy The Bull. He is a no nonsense guy, He has a Heart, and he is a Natural tough guy. He is also a true family man. He tells it like it is. He doesn't have to watch what he says about anything to cover his tracks of past comments or stories that he tells. A REAL STAND UP GUY. You are the man sammy. DO THIS COUNTRY A HUGE FAVOR AND RUN FOR PRESIDENT. 👍
He's lying about Gotti wanting him to take the rap for him Gotti got caught on tape talking about his own crimes there was no way he could have took the rap for Gotti he's good at spinning stories he would have made a good politician for that matter Gotti to Gotti had a way about him that would have got votes
He killed a 16 year old because he got beaten up in a fight, if they had used baseball bats or something else he would have got his lesson and still be alive, this story shows Sammy still has to justify his actions despite when he and his crew committed one of the worst crimes you could imagine, I enjoy his talks but inside there is still a problem in his head.
He may be more moral than most of his detractors. He is certainly more of a real man than others that I have known in my 72 years. I wish him the very best in his remaining years.
Awesome and fascinating interview. You do an amazing job Megyn at interviewing and not constantly interrupting unless you are trying to drill down some facts. Love this podcast❤️🙏
Did you see the look on her face when Sammy said James Caan was connected. She looks at him and said what do you mean. Sammy says he was connected to the Mafia. She had the look on her face like I can't believe it. Right here on my show we find out James Caan was connected to the Mafia. She loved it
Have you not ever seen the video of James and Gotti visiting as they're walking down the sidewalk? James was friends and run around with people in the mob we've known that for quite some time now
I used to hate what Sammy did!! To be clear not hate Sammy but what he did !! BUT AFTER listening to my grandfather and uncle and now Sammy himself I am 100% on his side and agree with him and tell EVERYBODY I KNOW AND WORK WITH THAT !! And I HOPE SAMMY GETS TO READ THIS HES A LONG TIME FRIEND OF MY UNCLES AND ALL HE NEEDS TO HEAR IS IM FROM FRANKLIN SQUARE NY!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹 God Bless !!
I’m a new subscriber solely because of these interviews and shows. You excel at this, and I love your interviewing style. Please, please continue to do them.
People forget that a few hundred years ago, people dealt with conflicts with murder. Blood fudes existed and the level of violence he lived in was the norm. Law and order is a relatively new concept. He's not psychopath but the life he lived conditioned him to be ok doing things that most people couldn't live with. The fact he came up in the mob with no relatives in the life, and almost no extra helping hand is amazing. He pulled himself to the top. Obviously he was in it for himself since he did turn informant but still impressive.
Absolutely fascinating interview on a social, psychological, religious and spiritual basis. Megyn, you are very good at what you do! Still trying to process...
I've heard all of this before. Still, this was great and beautifully handled 👏 Sammy can go on and on. I honestly love it when he does but he understood when you said this is all well known now. You were both great 👍 Hope to see more interviews like this.
My family moved here from Sicily because of the black hand. They moved to Chicago and had just as much trouble in the early 1920's. They ended up moving to Jersey and finally found peace from the mob. It was and still is no joke.
Very true skip, neighborhoods were safe, kids could play in the streets and women could walk safely at night without worrying about being brutally attacked…
@@Mark-eu4di yea and at the same time those women’s husband’s and children’s father’s were being extorted by the mob. “The mob only goes after people in that life” . Yea ok.
My family came from Calabria and my Grandfather was 1st generation. He worked his ass off until my Father was able to help him retire. I asked him once he if actually knew any mobsters. He told me "You stay away from those people. They help you once and they never leave you alone." There jokes about how he knew a guy who knew a guy. But when I spoke with him you could tell he wanted nothing to do with the mafia
Every place you named was a hotbed of mafia activity. Lol
Pretty much the same thing my Pops told me.
He started a small bar after WWII and some Outfit guys wanted to loan him money. He told them, “No. I’ll make it or fail on my own.” He knew once they got their hooks in they’d never leave him alone. I’m happy to say he made it. One bar became two and we never wanted for anything.
My Grandmother who went trough Ellis Island from Italy. married my grandfather, 5 children (Roman Catholic-No birth Control), one severely disabled. Grandfather had a life changing coal mine injury. Went to the head of the Cosa Nostra in PA explained her circumstances. He listened carefully, told my grandmother to go back home and not to worry. Received Black Lung compensation for life, told my grandmother what pharmacy to visit, and what "nervous" hospital to take my Aunt to. She never paid another hospital/drug bill for the next 40 years. Only one time, when we went to a restaurant. Both my grandparents, with my grandmother in tears she walked over to his table. He stood up so quickly because she was a woman. My dad told me years later who that was and what he did for our family. I am forever grateful. That is a 100% fact.
who was it great story
No way you did all that and not gone tell us the gentleman’s name
If Megyn Kelly, would care to have my story vetted by her editors, with dates, hospital, pharmacy, etc? I doubt she would have any interest. Here is a little bit of a hint. They use to have a documentary on the gentleman, I would catch on TV. occasionally. That being said I have not seen it in maybe 20 years or better. Not the boss, but one of his made-men. Owned a very large new car dealership and my grandparents, Aunts and my dad always bought there cars from him.
@@68andoweu16 gimme 2 more hints and I bet I get it. First name came to mind was Mike Franzese but the time periods don’t match up
@@jackiraq6710 Nope, it was much before Mr Franzese time. Maybe during his dads time but I wouldn't know. Remember PA and they all spoke fluent Italian. My grandparents spoke very little English. Thank you for guessing.
Love him or hate him, his stories are fascinating. Great interview..
I have always found it so fascinating.
@@Cantfightthedna me too, Amy. Such a charismatic guy and such a crazy life lived.
💯
If it's even all true. I think he's full of himself.
It's all sin
My aunts sister (my uncles wifes' sister) lived in Arizona, all she had was college aged food, she grabbed a can of soup but didn't have an opener. She went next door and asked her next door neighbor if she could borrow his. "Of course sweetheart, com on in", they had a 5 minute chat, he gave her the can opener and left, went back to return it, and he said, "you need anything sweetie, have some money as a welcome to the neighborhood", she wouldn't take it but was basically forced to in a nice way. A week later, dozens of cops came to his apartment and arrested him. It was Sammy The Bull Gravano, he was in the witness protection program and was dealing drugs. Don't look at Sammy like a monster, he only killed other monsters!
@Sauce Johnson: Wow! That’s an interesting story. Meanwhile, Our society makes heroes out of complete bums these days. Professional athletes that hate the country and fuel racial tension every time they open their big mouth. I can respect a man like Sammy or Michael Franzese. They’re real people and keep it 💯all the time….
@@SaintPatrick1970 Our society treats Kardashians like royalty for no reason at all, it's quite sad.
Was the 16 year old kid that he killed a monster?
@@mang349 That 16 year old kid charged Louie Milito who then shot him. Get your facts straight before you become a keyboard warrior.
@@saucejohnson9862 And why did he charge them? Because they were trying to kill somebody else! If they’re going to kill somebody in a private warehouse or something with nobody around well that’s different but would you do it in a public place you put other people at risk and that’s exactly what happened!
Never thought I'd heard of a ex mobster talking about their TH-cam subscribers
Right. Crazy times for sure.
Rat seeking profit and publicity off lies*
Watching an old mob boss now cutting ad promos on his TH-cam channel is one of the funniest things to see 😂
Sammys pod cast is amazing. I never miss an episode. Fascinating. Very tragic. But absolutely fascinating

Yes. He’s less of a thug. Plus, he gave his life to Christ.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 He’s a phony!
I want to see Sammy the Bull interview Megyn Kelly
F. Lee Bailey was the lawyer whose name he forgot. Other than that moment, he seems to remember virtually everything he's ever been involved with, and can immediately recall events and people down to specific details. Amazing. He's a very careful listener and always thinks before speaking.
You calling him a liar bro?
@@Budrob998 no, just the opposite. The guy is in his late 70s, it's perfectly understandable that he could momentarily forget someone's name. I'm not sure why you would think I was suggesting otherwise but whatever.
Yep! And they didn't like each other
@Bud Rob yes. He’s a compulsive liar and an absolute moron, contradicts his own words and stories all the time. You have to be just as dense to not catch him
Crazy. Americans fascinated with the mob. The Godfather one of the most successful movies of all time. RIP James Caan. “Sonny”.
Americans have been fascinated with a lot of criminals. Back in the 1800's it was Jesse James and the Dalton gang. People used to get a thrill out of seeing news about Dillinger, Baby Faced Nelson etc. I see it as a lack of empathy. What if one of these people killed your family member or stole your life savings?
More crazy is our mainstream media hosts making up fake studies that say we saved lives droppingNuclear bombs, the size of cities, on Japan. Brainwashed and ignorant
I 1st heard Sammy the Bull on Jordan Harbinger podcasts and found his story’s interesting. I have kept listening to Sammy on his podcasts. Thanks for your interview Meghan
I would bet my life savings that he is a psychopath. When Megyn pressed him to see if he had any remorse I figured she was going to be disappointed! It’s hard to wrap your mind around the fact that someone can be a good husband and father and go out an murder people without batting an eye.
Several of the serial killers that got caught later in life also were said to be good family men. I am not so sure Sammy was though, I bet he was far more of a violent destructive personality at home than he admits. You can tell even talking to Megyn, if she pushed a bit more than she had, he was going to become enraged.
@@KPKelly Absolutely
It’s all a bunch of BS…. All of it 😑 how does a good “family man” have side girls & hookers… forget about the murders 🤦♂️
I think his perception of murder is different. Their mentality is that they only killed each other involved in that life, such as you would view a soldier at war. We don’t consider them murders, anyone who defends their family from home invaders we don’t all them murders. It’s all about perception and what society deems right and wrong
He killed other criminals and anyone living in his neighborhood was happy to have him around because he kept the peace ironically.
Sammy is 77 years old and as sharp as a tack! Great news because he can continue to entertain us
with all his enthralling stories.
Do you realize what Sammy says is all lies? It is a fact that Sammy did kill his partners and other people and took over their businesses or rackets. This is not an opinion. Many people he killed, he ended up taking over their businesses.....He killed a 16 yr old kid named Allen Kaiser and now tries to blame Louie Milito. Remember one thing dead men can't talk. Do you think John Gotti if still alive would just nod and agree with everything Sammy is saying now?
Just 2 years younger than sleepy Joe 🥱 … lol

I've watched several interviews about Sammy and his podcast and this is by far the best one👍🏻
Very different, sort of like her true crime pieces. I got sucked in, I can't believe it, I could not stop watching. I just love Megyn, fantastic interview, hypnotic. Megyn Kelly is one of the best interviewers in the business. I would not have watched this had it not been Megyn. One of the best shows on utube, again, just love Megyn Kelly.
I totally agree with you. I look forward to listening to Megyn’s Show everyday.
Amen! Well said❤️
Don't forget, Santa is white ok, he just is.
@#PrisonForJohnnyDepp fool
Is Megyn single? I'd love to give her the business.
The life in the mafia is a treacherous life. I experienced it for about 7 years and the things I’ve learned there are priceless. There’s NO loyalty at all yet guys know how to create a strong atmosphere where it looks like it is. I went to prison and a guy owed me $40,000. I sent someone to get my money from him to pay my attorney and give the rest to my family. He refused to pay me saying he’s broke yet he had a lot of money. He then put my name in a murder mystery and in return I was viewed as a killer by law enforcement. I knew right then that the life was no good.
As much as I love the political episodes, these kinds of conversations are awesome! I love it!
The fact he’s talking about he was Wiccan in jail. He’s most certainly demonically oppressed. Explains alot
I worked at IBM in Endicott, NY. The mob moved from NYC to Endicott when Bobby Kennedy went after the mob. My friend at IBM had a daughter who married John Gotti’s son. He told me that he warned his daughter that they may never see her after the wedding. The Gotti’s had two receptions. One for the Gotti’s and one for the in-laws. My friend was NOT invited to the Gotti reception where his own daughter was. He hadn’t seen his daughter since the wedding ceremony. I worked in Endicott in the mid 1980’s.
Fascinating! I worked at IBM in Kingston NY in the mid 80s. Kind of surreal to think an IBMers daughter married a Gotti!
@@kellyandjulieelander5523 Yeah. I never heard of John Gotti at the time. I grew up in Buffalo and the Magadino family were in charge of the mafia there. My friend’s cousin was murdered there. He was an idiot and was dating the Don’s grand daughter and slapped her and gave her a black eye. He was found in the trunk of a burning car in the junk yard.
WOW! It shows the control Gotti(the son) had over the daughter! He is a bad seed just like his father and just as cocky! He comes across to me as a punk because of his cockiness.
Sorry if I’m missing the point but why the separate receptions and distance in the relationship? I’m not trying to be obtuse but I really want to know why.
@@mattm.5436 The Gotti’s only hung out with other mobsters and their own family. They had no class.
This is one of the best interviews. I’ve seen with Sammy or any mobster. Great job, Megyn.
“The only Vietnamese people I know do my nails and toenails…good people.”
Too funny
Great interview with Sammy the Bull ., love it
Reading the lengthy Wikipedia article as a prologue is breath-taking. Riveting interview. A rare inspection of a criminal mind. This man is a survivor par excellence. Even now, at 77, you can feel his energy, his vitality radiating love of living (his own). And be impressed by his lucidity, how he managed to maintain his sanity through all this turmoil, and the amazing strength of his arms and shoulders. No wonder they called him "the bull".
It's called being a psychopath.
@@michele-kt he is far way from psychopath lol he aint going around and killing anyone who isn't in the same position as him Say what you wanna say about him he it's true family gangster man lol
44:57-46:06 Now, as a military veteran, and although I have never been to war, I can say her statement is entirely candyass modern-day stupidity. I have heard of stories where the nation's heroes, and I'm talking about armed forces, have had to kill children for various reasons. Killing is never good, so people need to respect their nation's military and law enforcement. However, killing is essential under certain circumstances to uphold liberty, freedom of life, and the right to live. Looking back at Vietnam when the U.S. troops were called baby killers makes me think of how novice a society can be regarding life in general. Obviously, Sammy was not doing his work for the military. He was doing it for what he deemed a righteous cause. Young men, I'm going to exclude women, we have a duty in life, and we find it in many things. Sammy just so happened to find his in Cosa Nostra. Sammy believed it to be his path, as many soldiers, law enforcement, firefighters, and even college students believed in their path. That's life, whether we agree with it or not. Now, look at Sammy. He is doing good and doesn't relive those bad times. We all made terrible decisions, but I think there is a good heart at the end of 90% of what Sammy has been involved with. So to question and be so judgmental? Take a look at your own life and compare it to the society you live in and you will see the flaws in your own life. I would recommend shutting up and being the best person you can be. Taking the high horse isn't always easy, but its necessary most times.
I am one of those Law Enforcement nuts that listens religiously to Sammy the Bull Podcasts. Retired 10 years ago.
Thank you for your law enforcement service.⭐ Best Wishes & Happy Holidays. 🎄😊🎀
*SAMMY ALWAYS GIVES AN HONEST INTERVIEW. NO EGO, NO BS. PRODUCERS HEADS WERE SPINNNING WHEN SAMMY REVEALED INFORMATION ABOUT JAMES CAHN...MOB TIES. can never get an interview like this from johnny alite*
It’s nothing for us to learn . He needs to learn from us. God created us and gave us the free will. Don’t blame on god for your stupid crime. If he is not going ask for forgiveness, he is going straight to hell.
Wow! That was an intriguing, mesmerizing interview! Great job Ms. Kelly!
great interview Megyn , I follow Sammy on YT , I can listen to the guy's stories all day , RIP James Cann
Congratulations. What a utterly fascinating interview. I think the biggest take for me is that he lived two different lives at the same time. A devoted family man with what seems like decent morals and then the flip side, a ruthless murderer. As I said....Fascinating!
Ruthless Murderer killing people who are in the life . They all signed up for it
Excuse me, but the man is a psychopath.
Decent family man ? Now thats funny ! He was in an ecstacy ring with his family and they all got busted. Yup, thats a decent family man for sure !
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Actually it was his daughter anf son that got caught up in it and sammy got involved because of them and ultimately took the blame to stop them going to jail . Look up the podcast shaun atwood just did about sammy and he was in the drugs in arizona as well @CastingCrue2023
I learnt some new things about sammy in this interview, great job Ms kelly
He never even owns what he did to those victims their families and his community he destroyed so much and blames everything on everybody else!
Sounds like Joe Biden .
Yup . Lots of bullshits and sound like a communist as well
People in those communities do what they do. None of them play the violin.
You seem to forget he is a greedy , cruel , sociopath that Mastered the art of self-preservation ! He and John Gotti wacked a boss without permission and the families accepted it because these guys were old school badass and feared what may happen if they screwed up taking them out . So why on earth would you think he has any sympathy for his victims or there families, when he goes to hell the devil will offer him special treatment if he tells him where Jimmy Hoffa is buried lol
Has the U.S government owned up to what they did to the innocent civilians of IRAQ or Afghanistan???
This interview by Megan Kelly is the real deal.
Sammy Gravano, talks straight whatever he has done in the “Life he chose” he makes no apologies for his life, he is a true gangster plain and simple! He is very articulate and is such a great storyteller, his recollection of events and crimes is so impressive! The show went by very quickly, Megan Kelly, is such an articulate journalist her calm and direct speaking skill is incredible even at moments when she was taken aback she kept professional and respectful, I’m sure she could have continued the conversation for 3-4 hours. Excellent show!
He doesn’t “talk straight”, he’s been caught lying countless times.
You are the best very professional 👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Megyn asked some great questions great interview.
It's fascinating to hear this man rationalize his actions. The reasons he claims to have made his first kill and decided to turn coat are hearsay, however he presents them without any doubt about their validity.
He’s a lying low life
Really? You have personally known this man, how many years? You were in his crew in the Gambino Family?
@@trissloan2340 where exactly did I state or imply that I've met this guy?
You're right Greta. He's just telling us what he wants.ri tell. The man is a total psychopath.
Look, everything he talks about, he has a way to spin it as if he was the good guy out of all of them, almost gets away with some things by how he justifies his actions. Another thing he is lying about is that the only reason he turned on Gotti is because Gotti was going to blame him. That is a made up story to justify why he ratted. If he ratted on John to get back at him, then what is his excuse for ratting on hundreds of others. He literally told on guys who he had been friends with for years. He talked because he wanted out of jail, no other reason. He destroyed many of his good buddies life's, put them in jail for years, but is able to justify it cause he was mad at Gotti. He is a liying bum. He is not a tough guy, he is a guy who was tough because he carried a gun and was a monster. There were half a million men walking the streets of New York that would have smashed him like a bug in a fair fight. He claims many of his friends were tough fighting men, then you look em up and they were 6' 295 pounds of pure fat. I'd say maybe 20% were real tough guys and his 5'5 180 lb ass is not one of them. He claims to have been good with his hands and that he boxed. Teddy Atlas who was a trainer at the gym he boxed at said basically he could not fight, and that guys would go easy on him cause they new he was a mob guy
Thank's Megyn for sharing Sam's Story. You are one of of best journalists out there. Thanks again!
I watch Sammy’s podcast and live show on Monday’s. Very interesting to hear his take on the Mob. He is a great storyteller.
Meet mad Sam DeStefano from Chicago and you will know who a tough guy is like New York too much but I like you now Sammy I don't know why you seem to be a good guy you're one of the last ones left but Chicago will beat the crap out of New York
He calls BS but he is going to meet his maker and he won’t be able to “negotiate “ his afterlife. He’s totally delusional and deceived by demons. Thankful to Megyn for confronting him with morality!
EXACTLY! You said what I was thinking just about word for word. He's nothing but an old, wrinkly bull soon to be rotating on his own spit, slowly roasting for eternity 😈
It says you have one reply but none are showing... 🤔
We ALL have demons we gonna have to answer for
He needs Jesus
Sammy Gravano sounds like he’s arrived at the wrong conclusions about a lot of things. He’s 77 years old; he should quit kidding himself about his “honorable” life.
Agreed. He’s no different than the serial killers Megyn has recently done specials on. This is not a man that should be walking free.
@@KPKelly He's a thug, murderer, criminal. That's plenty but he's not a serial killer. Totally different.
Correct
@@KPKelly I disagree. A serial Killer is usually terribly ill and has serious psychological issues.
A gangster is just too lazy to do real work for a living. So much so that they are willing to kill to avoid working a normal job.
That's even more despiccable than a crazy person serial killing.
Only thing worse is a school shooter.
@@grunchlk He does fit the written description, which is why I used the term. Though he obviously had a different motive and mindset than most serial killers. But that many people, over that many years...You could argue it either way. He is more of a Ted Bundy type, in that he can blend in well in normal society, can intellectually justify anything, though obviously not as smart or as ruthless as Bundy. It is almost like its own category of a serial killer to me. You could say that if not for the mafia, he would not have murdered, but, there is a "if not for" with most serial killers too. Perhaps saying just saying a murder is less controversial...I think everyone would agree he was a murderer, not a soldier as he claims.
Nice interview but the reason he did those killings is because he was told too and if he denied it, then that’s a death sentence, so in a way, he had to comply.
I’m glad to see Meghan control the conversation with Sammy. Sammy has a way of rambling on and she kept him from going there. He and Micheal Franzise did a bio about the mob with Patrick David Bet. PDP Podcast. And their “sit down “ was great. Micheal called him out on some of his Bravado and Bragging and how he broke the mafia code. It was respectful for the most part. But Sammy didn’t like being called out one bit. It was basically Micheal being honest about the mob life and Sonny trying to glorify it.
Michael was being hipocrytical there though because he also broke the code of silence when he testified. And Michael tries to imply that he committed murder when he never did, so thats him trying to brag about something he didnt even do. He makes out he doesbt think its a good life but he still brags abt the money he made feom his scam, so hes not better than Sammy there really.
Hes not a murderer no, but as i say he does tey to imply that he is, so thats not good, especially when hes supossed to be a christian.
At least Sammy honest.
no it wasnt you fell for Franzise line of bullshit!!! he is very good at that. Sammy is a gangster michael is not.
@@dannick9442 Mike was implicated in 5 murders… the case got thrown out. You’re not being in that life and certainly not a Captain if you haven’t killed someone on orders from the boss
@@jackiraq6710 That's not true bro.
They only brought the rule in that you had to be involved in a hit after Donnie Brasco, Michael was made before then. Michael has also admitted before on an earlier video that he was making too much money on the scam that he was involved in for them to want to use him to be involved with any of their violence and has said on other videos that they didn't use their money makers for the violence because that wouldve risked them losing them to jail and therefore the boss would be loosing out on their cut of the profits from those money makers, he has said those who commit the violence generally don't really earn much money, some do, but others are the ones who are given the no show jobs which is sometimes there only income.
I dont doubt for a minute that Michael was implicated in 5 murders, he was a member of an organisation that was full of killers, so for him to get pulled into some of his fellow member offences as far as the police investigations were concerned, that was more or less inevitable for him.
I have never been involved with any organisation thats known to have lots of killers as members, nor have i had close associates who are known killers, but i have been under investigation for a murder which i never did, so that really doesnt mean anything bro.
@@dannick9442 I hear you but you just typed everything Michael has said. If I were a killer on TH-cam I’d tell my viewers I’ve never killed anyone also. He has no legal immunity from murder so if he speaks on it, he’ll be investigated and arrested. Basically what you’re saying is, Mike is the only guy in the history of the mob that got in without killing someone… Mike was actually made in ‘78, it’s a fact and can be researched. Colombo former soldier Sal Micciota flipped on Mike and talked about Mike being apart of the murder of Americus Scotese to gain membership into the family. I beg you just research a bit before you respond
megyn is absolutely stunning ,,, sammys a great story teller,,,and everything he said about james cann was true
. . . this episode, is another "best of!" You are soo gifted in interviewing & asking the best questions, Megyn. I sat on the edge of my seat during the whole interview. I loved how you brought it all back to Sammy's faith in God in the last minute. Wow! What an ending (I hope Sammy finds Jesus--he is so deceived). And then your honest reaction to it all after the episode ended. You are so relatable & get to the truth in our upside-down world. Periodically, I "clean-up" my youtube channel subscriptions to simplify my life, yet, your channel is a "keeper," Megyn. Your staff is amazing too. On top of the latest news updates that relate during the episode--James Cann was a legend, so interesting to learn what we learned during your episode, may he rest in peace. Just another "best of"--good job & thank-you so much, Megyn & team.
How about the one with Alefantis?
@Annie
I watched her interview with Putin. A lady commented, “the blonde bimbo is so outclassed.”
Look How Powerful the Mob was!!! They were involved in who was Going to be in the Godfather!!!! WOW!!!! James Cahn [ RIP]
Why is Megyn staring into the camera like she's inviting you to bed? Calm down lady.
Sammy The Bull did not commit 19 murders. He was involved in 19. He was either the shooter, the planner, driver, ect. But did not pull the trigger 19 times.
why, were you there? llol
Sammy is everywhere! He is working his ass off
I agree with Sammy on "religion" being bull. I'm a born again Christian, and believe that God knows who belongs to Him. If they're His sheep, He will come for them, no matter how far away they are from Him.
It's not about a religion it's all about a relationship with Jesus Christ. Being a born again believer one knows they must repent and ask God for forgiveness, that I don't hear him doing.
Right but there’s a way to come to Him and it’s only one way
Amazing in Depth Candid interview!! His beliefs on religion actually made sense & would agree with much of what he said on THAT topic.
I truly enjoy Megyn and have respect for her. I enjoy her podcast........HOWEVER, I have to say, I don't think interviewing these types of people is her strong suit at all. She is excellent w anything news and politics, but not these. Stopped halfway through, not due to him, but her. AGAIN ......complete respect for Megyn, I just hope that she sticks to her expertise. People benefit from that
Agreed. She could of a lot more out of him had she approached this different. Sammy is fully aware of his past, he is here being open about history and being a window into how this life was. She needs to leave opinions at the door like a professional
Agree. She ruins or messes up everything she ends up being part of. She messed this up too. She must be a great lay bc somehow she keeps her job. She talks from a high and mighty standpoint when she's a person that won't be remembered by anybody but her family in 30 to 40 years from now.
Sounds like he keeps trying to justify being a lifelong criminal and a cold blooded killer.
The "trial questioning " approach from Megan is just so pathetic and frankly I'm surprised Sammy agreed to this interrogation! Ridiculous.
This is so sad. There are not many ways to God, only one Way, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Jesus Christ. “This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,”
1 Timothy 2:3-5 ESV
I hope “Sammy” comes to know the Truth.
Sad, really?
Revolting, disgusting, infuriating, but sad??
@Sonya Elaine Amen!
Amen!
I love the variety of people you bring on to your show.
Actually. Sammy’s dad had connections. Sammy’s dad was being protected from other mafia members. Sammy grew up on the streets. With the Rampers I believe it was called. Sammy was about to shoot the one mob member for threatening his dad. Bit the Mon memeber changed his view as he found out Sammy’s dad was protected. Sammy ended up in the mafia later on in life.
His dad's only *connection was living in the same hood.
Who knew it would take a petite woman to pull the best answers out of Sammy the Bull... Good for Megyn Kelly for actually having the balls to ask hard & unique questions ♥️
Sammy has told all on his podcast, 76 years old and nothing to lose, but I love how Megyn digs deeper and Sammy explains. I love both.
I didn’t know Megan is a petite woman
@@illegitimatedementedjoe2139 She's not.
He is so very honest and that’s what makes him very interesting
😄😄😄 He's saying only what he wants to say. These stories are his version and his version only. The guy is a psychopath.
Sammy is the worst mobster ever. Failure. He murdered one boss. Ratted another out. Brought down his own mafia family. No honor. Got only 5 years for 19 murders. What did he do with that break? He got his own family long prison terms for running a drug ring. Total fk up.
yet he is still making money either from podcasts or other legit endeavors. He lost his wife but still has close ties with his son, daughter and granddaughter which is saying something because in that life there is no honor and you lose everything....but he recovered in his old age.
You should have Michael Franzese on too
Megan excellent interview . Finally someone asking the tough questions. Great job. I just became a subscriber .
He can believe what ever he wants but the Word of God says differently. We all need to ask forgiveness for our sins and believe and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord in order to be saved.
I listened to this interview twice on Sirius already. I could listen to this more times as it is so interesting.
Remember, he's only telling people want he wants to tell. He tells his version only.
Great Interview, Megyn Kelly!! Just wish you would’ve touched on a his view of Rudy Giuliani who actually began the process of removing crime in NYC as Mayor at that time…
I've watched a number of Sammy's podcasts, but I stopped watching them because his stories sounded contrived. I came to think that everything out of his mouth was a lie and that it was a total waste of my time.
I don't feel like megyn is buying his story either so far as what I've seen of this. she seemed frustrated at one point
@@josflorida5346 I like Megyn, but I didn't watch the whole video. I noticed that she seemed skeptical of his account a few minutes in and stopped watching at the point. This guy is a career criminal. Lying comes with the territory. He seems to make up the story as he goes along. His podcast is a complete waste of time. He's profiting from his misdeeds, but not at my expense.
May be more of a storyteller than informative.
@@betholabecker3219 A teller of tall tales no doubt.
I truly feel sometimes that at least old school mob neighborhoods from the 40's thru 80's were far safer, happier, and overall far better off than they are today without them.
100% Agree they were better
Loved how he trashed Megyn’s Catholic religion.
FBI and Law Enforcement watches the Sammy broadcasts because
cops are the same breed as criminals who just want a legit paycheck.
Watched your interview and I can relate to Mr. Sammy Gravano. As a little boy growing up in dyker Heights brookly in the 60 70 & 80 yes the neighborhood was filled with mafias and you know what yes, I did feel more safer never heard about a rap, stabbing car jacking robbery . Now, Brooklyn in my area absolutely sucks. There are shootings stabbings its shameful and yes, the mafia would never go after a civilian.
The mafias keep the neighborhood clean and safe better then the government.
I also believe what Mr. Gavano says I believe in God but that's a out all everything else is bullshit and mad up

Megyn, this was a fascinating interview! You should really try to get Michael franzeze on. He’s another really interesting former mob guy who actually owns what he did.
This is the best MKS I've viewed. Such deep insights. Megyn's problem of understanding Gravano is a microcosm of America trying to put Russia and China into its perspective. There are things that
you better not change.
I wonder if one day there will be college classes in the history of the Five Families and organized crime in the U.S. - if there are not already - and Sammy’s incredibly detailed podcast will be a primary source.
There is. Its called politics 😊
My favorite episode! So good!
Wow... the simple twists of fate. In the early 60's my boy scout leader who was an Los Angeles cop took us boys on an excursion to the police stations drunk tank on a Saturday morning. I saw twenty-five guys, mostly disheveled, in one big cell with one toilet in the middle. I swore I'd never break the law... and to this day I drive 5mph under the speed limit. I stay clear of even the gray areas. At 70 I've never been arrested. The few times I've gotten pulled over for some traffic thing the officer always looks dejected upon running my license. I just say, "not the guy you were looking for?"
🤣
And the point? You want a cookie? Pat on the back? What? Thanks for that mind numbing post, I couldn't live without it!
@Canatola Khoemini what is your point? You read someone else's comment and were too empty in the head to find anything to understand or comprehend?
But not to be only a little stupid, you chose to leave a comment confirming you mum is your sister and your dad's your brother.
Well done chum...
@patrick Reilly. Snitch. Drive 70 year old? 5 mph under the speed limit u would be quicker walking
Ill be perfectly honest, If I have a chance to meet anyone on the face of this earth, It will be Sammy The Bull. He is a no nonsense guy, He has a Heart, and he is a Natural tough guy. He is also a true family man. He tells it like it is. He doesn't have to watch what he says about anything to cover his tracks of past comments or stories that he tells. A REAL STAND UP GUY. You are the man sammy. DO THIS COUNTRY A HUGE FAVOR AND RUN FOR PRESIDENT. 👍
He put a lot of his friends in prison
He's lying about Gotti wanting him to take the rap for him Gotti got caught on tape talking about his own crimes there was no way he could have took the rap for Gotti he's good at spinning stories he would have made a good politician for that matter Gotti to Gotti had a way about him that would have got votes
Crazy story telling, Megan's expression is priceless
Especially her face when he discusses James Caan,and then throws in Sinatra for good measure
It doesn't sound like she believes him but what he said about Caan is 100% true, he's not a wise guy but was connected.
He killed a 16 year old because he got beaten up in a fight, if they had used baseball bats or something else he would have got his lesson and still be alive, this story shows Sammy still has to justify his actions despite when he and his crew committed one of the worst crimes you could imagine, I enjoy his talks but inside there is still a problem in his head.
@@100pba2 Thankyou for telling the truth here, not Gravano's twisted crap.
@@bbkingwasthegreatest711 Right? These people are believing everything this psychopath is saying.
He may be more moral than most of his detractors. He is certainly more of a real man than others that I have known in my 72 years. I wish him the very best in his remaining years.
Awesome and fascinating interview. You do an amazing job Megyn at interviewing and not constantly interrupting unless you are trying to drill down some facts. Love this podcast❤️🙏
The gift that keeps on giving
Excellent podcast. You handled this interview very well
25:30 very lost and mixed up
Bad move, Megyn. I refuse to watch anyone treat this guy as a “guest.”
😂 LOL so don’t tf
Did you see the look on her face when Sammy said James Caan was connected. She looks at him and said what do you mean. Sammy says he was connected to the Mafia. She had the look on her face like I can't believe it. Right here on my show we find out James Caan was connected to the Mafia. She loved it
Have you not ever seen the video of James and Gotti visiting as they're walking down the sidewalk? James was friends and run around with people in the mob we've known that for quite some time now
@@Bella1neverknows670 I've known that for years. But the look on her face was like she thought she just uncovered the greatest secret on earth.
Sammy's I heart radio podcast is a must listen...it's riveting
But remember, it's all hearsay. He's saying only what he wants to say. You don't know if it's true or not.
I used to hate what Sammy did!! To be clear not hate Sammy but what he did !! BUT AFTER listening to my grandfather and uncle and now Sammy himself I am 100% on his side and agree with him and tell EVERYBODY I KNOW AND WORK WITH THAT !! And I HOPE SAMMY GETS TO READ THIS HES A LONG TIME FRIEND OF MY UNCLES AND ALL HE NEEDS TO HEAR IS IM FROM FRANKLIN SQUARE NY!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹 God Bless !!
What if it was your family...Would you still agree?
I’m a new subscriber solely because of these interviews and shows. You excel at this, and I love your interviewing style. Please, please continue to do them.
People forget that a few hundred years ago, people dealt with conflicts with murder. Blood fudes existed and the level of violence he lived in was the norm. Law and order is a relatively new concept. He's not psychopath but the life he lived conditioned him to be ok doing things that most people couldn't live with. The fact he came up in the mob with no relatives in the life, and almost no extra helping hand is amazing. He pulled himself to the top. Obviously he was in it for himself since he did turn informant but still impressive.
Absolutely fascinating interview on a social, psychological, religious and spiritual basis.
Megyn, you are very good at what you do!
Still trying to process...
She was able to restrain her curiosity and create a space for him to retell his story. Great job

Great interview Sammy is still very sharp the way he dodged the partnership question
