00:06:45.540 the origins of the sicilian mafia okay and um i like this video it's pretty damn accurate i did some

00:06:53.440 independent research as well to make sure um but yeah this you know in a very nice cartoony way

00:06:59.120 describes the origin of the sicilian mafia so which obviously then leads into the american mafia

00:07:05.400 that you guys have come to learn and love now so i'm gonna go ahead and you know stop it

00:07:09.760 at certain points to give some commentary uh between me and angie but yeah without further

00:07:14.320 ado guys let's get into the history of the mafia 0.69

00:07:18.140 and like the goddamn video there's 885 what you guys watch right now actually 900 you plus you guys 0.82

00:07:28.560 watch right now so like the video subscribe to the channel if you haven't already let's get it 0.97

00:07:32.660 be it money laundering or drug smuggling intimidation or assassination money has always inspired humanity

00:07:40.120 to do sinister things with this comes the phenomenon of organized crime a tragic inevitability

00:07:46.900 in developed cultures all across the world welcome to a brand new series on the history of the world's

00:07:53.200 most famous criminal empires we will be exploring the origin stories of iconic syndicates from around

00:07:59.480 the globe examining shadowy pasts that often extend back centuries so sit back as we delve into the

00:08:06.580 underbelly of society and uncover the historical origins of today's organized crime

00:08:11.740 beginning with the sicilian mafia shout out to blinkets for sponsoring this video

00:08:17.500 mafia referred to by its own members as cosa nostra a phrase meaning our thing is an infamous association

00:08:29.780 of criminal syndicates they are famous for their heavy-handed role in protection racketeering

00:08:35.440 alcohol and drug smuggling and other organized illegal activities across italy the united states and

00:08:41.780 so i want to make a quick little point here on the drug smuggling guys typically um especially with

00:08:49.580 the older school guys um uh drug smuggling drug trafficking in general was very frowned upon okay

00:08:56.600 uh you can get killed for participating in drug trafficking now with that said i want to make this very

00:09:01.520 clear i'm not saying that guys didn't you know traffic drugs they obviously did but they did it

00:09:06.100 behind the scenes people didn't really know about it etc it could get you killed you know guys like

00:09:11.020 john gotty etc and you know uh they got caught you know drug trafficking on wiretaps or whatever but

00:09:16.820 you can hear him on the wiretap saying like yo we gotta we can't let anybody else from the family know

00:09:20.480 about this blah blah blah so um though the mafia was involved in drug trafficking it wasn't something

00:09:27.620 that was uh it was done in secret and it was typically wasn't like them doing a lot of the

00:09:32.960 trafficking a lot of times what it would be is like them being involved with maybe some uh hispanic gang 0.58

00:09:37.100 or some other criminal organization that specialized in drug trafficking and them taking cuts from it

00:09:40.940 whatever but the reason why right drugs were so frowned upon with the mafia was because it drew a lot of

00:09:46.960 attention okay and there was football numbers for time so and on top of that drug traffic in itself

00:09:53.000 is a conspiracy-based crime a lot of snitching etc so they didn't want that you know as you guys know

00:09:58.780 when it comes to and we're going to talk more about the definitions the mafia is big on a code of silence

00:10:03.820 okay also known as or murta right but let's get back into it beyond these italian gangsters have 0.97

00:10:12.600 been immortalized in iconic 20th century literature and film which often

00:10:16.960 depicts them at the height of their power in and around the 1950s yet rarely explored are the earliest

00:10:23.920 origins of the mafia a history that goes back a century before the era depicted in the likes

00:10:29.680 of the godfather and goodfellas in 1972 italian journalist luigi parzini had this to say about

00:10:37.440 italy's southernmost island the reason why sicily is ungovernable is that the inhabitants have long ago

00:10:43.920 learned to distrust and neutralize all written laws and to govern themselves in their own rough

00:10:49.920 homemade fashion as if official institutions did not exist this arrangement is highly unsatisfactory

00:10:56.320 because it cures no ills promotes injustice and tyranny leaves crimes unpunished does not make use of the

00:11:03.100 sicilians best qualities and has kept the country stagnant and backward in almost every way 1.00

00:11:09.060 guys hold on so this right here is probably like the like it hits the nail on the head when it comes

00:11:17.300 to how the mafia operates in general okay um and this is how the mafia was kind of birthed from uh distrust

00:11:25.300 or an unavailability of government intervention to provide protection and security you guys are going

00:11:30.900 to see that here in a second since antiquity sicilian history has been defined by foreign rule greeks

00:11:39.060 carthaginians romans byzantines arabs vikings normans germans and spaniards had all claimed dominion over

00:11:46.740 the island over various periods at the turn of the 19th century sicily had been the domain of the ancestrally

00:11:54.100 french bourbon kings who ruled the island and much of southern mainland italy most of sicily's previous

00:12:01.140 dynasties had practiced a form of feudal rulership and the bourbons were no exception under their rule 1.00

00:12:08.340 sicilian land was exclusively in the hands of either the catholic church or feudal barons who held vast

00:12:15.060 estates and made up a tiny percentage of the population however by the year 1812 this had begun to change

00:12:23.540 primogeniture the law by which a noble's domain is passed down to his firstborn son was abolished

00:12:30.660 and the barons of sicily began gradually selling off parcels of their land to the peasantry

00:12:36.660 soon over one-fifth of sicilian land was made up of these small holdings of private citizens

00:12:43.300 this slow shift from feudalism to capitalism was sped up exponentially in the year 1860

00:12:49.940 when the intrepid italian general giuseppe garibaldi led a volunteer force of 1000 men into sicily

00:12:56.980 waging a bloody war of liberation that resulted in the island's annexation into the nascent kingdom of

00:13:02.900 italy disdainful of the old world order the italian kingdom wished to form itself on the model of a 0.97

00:13:09.620 modern nation state as such the bulk of the land that remained in the possession of the church or the

00:13:15.700 nobility was seized and distributed among the peasantry in sicily the number of landowners increased

00:13:22.980 tenfold from 2000 to 20 000. most of these new plots were small farms grazing lands lemon groves or

00:13:31.060 vineyards this was a colossal societal shift and as you guys could see whenever opportunity presents

00:13:38.420 itself like that and there's economic growth there's always going to be criminals ready to exploit that

00:13:44.980 growth if you guys think about it nowadays right with the explosion of technology right think about

00:13:49.220 it we went from like brick and mortar type crimes of robbing banks and selling drugs and you know selling

00:13:55.220 illicit material even like you know let's call it you know child uh corn if y'all know what i'm saying

00:14:02.260 right used to be hard in vhs whatever but now it's on internet everything is digital now so uh so what's

00:14:08.100 the fastest growing crime it's fraud right identity theft etc so anytime there's growth to some degree or

00:14:15.460 human progress there's always criminals there ready to exploit that progress and you guys are going to see

00:14:20.500 that here in a second with the explosions of lemons vineyards etc how the mafia gets involved even at

00:14:26.500 this early stage prior to italy's modernization most barons with vast feudal land holdings had the

00:14:34.100 resources and manpower to ensure their properties remained protected the same was true for the immensely

00:14:40.420 wealthy and influential catholic clergy however this was not the case for peasant owned small estates that

00:14:47.140 now made up the bulk of sicilian land many sicilians would resist the imposition of italian rule and

00:14:53.780 italian laws and take arms in the form of populist uprisings that raged from 1860 all the way to 1876

00:15:02.180 the violent upheaval born of this fighting further destabilized the region and the poverty caused by the

00:15:08.580 war drove many desperate and starving peasants to steal from sicily's many new landowners unlike the old 0.99

00:15:16.260 feudal barons who bought their own protection these small land-owning citizens were dependent on

00:15:22.020 federal soldiers and policemen to safeguard their property neither of which were able to effectively

00:15:28.340 depending on the police back then for them to protect their property

00:15:35.940 private plots in the face of widespread political unrest across the island the situation was grim for

00:15:43.060 the italian government had distributed lands to tens of thousands of middle class peasants but left

00:15:48.820 them helpless when it came to actually protecting it to any man with a nose for business and a constitution 0.53

00:15:55.140 for violence late 19th century sicily was a dreamland right for exploitation and that is exactly what

00:16:02.340 happened in lieu of any presence of law enforcement the island's landowners were forced to turn to private

00:16:08.660 thugs to protect their property these loose gangs of hired gunmen soon realized they were the only real

00:16:15.460 authority in the region and began taking advantage of the situation turning against the very people 0.89

00:16:21.460 they were meant to protect forcing many local farmers into their clientele under threat of violence

00:16:27.780 landowners no longer had a choice and this guy's right here is the birth of extortion my friends okay

00:16:34.660 anytime you basically have a monopoly of violence on someone and you're telling them they need to pay

00:16:39.220 you or else they have to deal with some kind of physical consequence right uh and a lot of times they

00:16:44.020 say this with uh you know oh we're protecting you air quotes lol no they're not protecting you they're

00:16:50.180 extorting you for money at the threat of violence which you guys are going to see here throughout this

00:16:56.500 broadcast this becomes honestly the bread and butter of a lot of uh organized crime the mafia especially

00:17:02.740 choice in whether or not they would hire these contractors either they paid out a handsome sum

00:17:08.980 for the protection of their estate or they would suffer dire and violent consequences

00:17:14.900 anton block an anthropologist who studied the gangs of italy defined the central characteristic of mafia as

00:17:22.100 the private use of unlicensed violence as a means of control in the public arena that is probably one of

00:17:28.500 the best definitions ever i would give him a donna mark for that one the private use of unlicensed

00:17:35.380 violence as a means of control in the public arena and from the 1860s onward this phenomenon would be

00:17:43.220 the principal method by which the sicilian people were ruled due to the inherently clandestine nature of

00:17:50.100 organized crime the scope and influence of the various factions of cosa nostra are hard to quantify

00:17:56.420 although it is safe to say that by 1865 they had accumulated vast sway in sicily controlling much

00:18:03.700 of its farms and ranches especially in the western regions surrounding palermo as a result of this

00:18:10.100 stories of their machinations during this era have been well recorded the extent of the mafia's reach

00:18:16.580 is first mentioned in a book published in 1864 plainly titled public safety in sicily and written by one

00:18:23.860 niccolo teresi colonna however the publication never used the word mafia specifically instead referring

00:18:30.740 to a sect of thieves that had ties across the whole island colonna was an italian patriot and a staunch

00:18:38.340 unionist the kind of man who brought with him the law and order that criminals reviled he had narrowly

00:18:45.060 survived an assassination attempt a year earlier when five armed hitmen had tried to gun him down with

00:18:51.140 muskets while he traveled down a rural road outside palermo by carriage luckily his guards managed to

00:18:57.940 fend off that's how they used to shoot at you back in the day that's how they used to slide in the

00:19:03.060 ops hey hey you go on in your carriage and then they just shoot at you with muskets the attackers with

00:19:09.380 their pistols causing them to flee this brush with death had inspired colonna to raise awareness about

00:19:16.340 sicily's ever-growing underground criminal laws colonna's book brought attention to many of the

00:19:22.740 mafia's sinister powers the sect of thieves that he wrote about was described to have no fear of

00:19:29.460 policemen who they could easily elude they had no trepidation for the courts either due to their ability

00:19:35.860 to pressure any witnesses into silence colonna's testimony grows even more morbid as he claimed that

00:19:42.740 any civilian caught approaching a military policeman would be caught and executed this was a practice

00:19:49.220 done to enforce a disconnect between lawmen and the citizenry born of fear and instill a law known as

00:19:55.940 humility by which the mafia coerced total devotion and respect out of the peasantry which they ruled over

00:20:03.380 far removed from being simple extortionists cosa nostra had evolved into a dangerous cult with deep

00:20:10.100 tendrils in every facet of sicilian society the mafioso were especially prominent among the 0.99

00:20:16.580 owners of lemon groves introduced by the arabs in the ninth century lemons had quickly become a valued

00:20:23.620 sicilian export and by the 19th century was the island's most lucrative cash crop for instance by 1855

00:20:32.100 over 2.5 million crates of sicilian citrus made it to new york alone annually however they were a fickle

00:20:39.780 plant with even slight changes in soil acidity being able to sabotage an entire field this made them

00:20:46.580 especially easy for the mafia to threaten and doubly lucrative for them to own a seminal example of this

00:20:54.100 is the story of a man known as dr gasperi galati in 1874 the former surgeon had inherited a four

00:21:02.100 hectare lemon grove known as the fondo riella the land was only a short stroll away from halermo city walls

00:21:09.620 putting it in the heart of mafia territory furthermore galati had only inherited the grove because the

00:21:16.100 previous owner his brother-in-law had suffered a heart attack upon receiving a string of death threats

00:21:22.500 sure enough galati soon realized that the men who worked the farm kept dubious company the person

00:21:28.980 responsible for sending the death threats had been the warden of the estate benedetto carollo a man

00:21:34.820 undoubtedly linked to the mafia dr galati may not have been aware of the death threats that led to

00:21:40.980 his brother-in-law's demise but he certainly picked up on carollo's problematic nature quickly

00:21:46.820 as the man undercut the sale value of the farm's produce still and also i want you guys to understand

00:21:52.180 that back then right like they didn't have the same modern conventions that we have now to preserve

00:21:57.620 you know fruits and vegetables to the same level of sophistication that we have now so the mafia

00:22:02.900 obviously was able to exploit this to be like all right listen if you don't pay up we're gonna with

00:22:06.740 your product and you're not going to be able to sell it or make money so you got to pay up or else

00:22:11.220 not only will physical violence come your way but we're also going to destroy your crops which obviously

00:22:15.220 for a lot of people back then you know people were a lot of people made their money from being farmers

00:22:19.620 etc that was their livelihood so they didn't really have a choice so um you know this just just goes to

00:22:25.540 show uh their ability to control and dominate people and be able to basically get their tentacles

00:22:31.380 into your business you know that whole use work for me now that comes from them basically coming

00:22:36.180 in and taking over your business old coal from the estate steam pumps and lemons from the trees

00:22:42.820 all while strutting about like he owns the place dr galati was no fool realizing his farm was being

00:22:49.460 sabotaged he had carollo fired naturally this drew upon him the attention of malicious shadows many of

00:22:57.140 galati's close friends implored him to rehire carollo friends who previously had no vested interest in

00:23:03.540 his business and had no doubt been pressured or bribed by cosa nostra however the doctor did not relent on

00:23:10.740 his decision he had forced the mafia's hand and on the second of july the man he had hired to replace

00:23:17.620 carollo was gunned down on a narrow rural street naturally galati's attempt to report this murder to the police

00:23:25.220 turned out to be a pointless affair for they had already been paid off to look the other way

00:23:31.060 the doctor soon received a string of letters with the heavy-handed promise that if he did not rehire

00:23:36.420 carollo he and his family would face the same fate as the replacement warden they had shot dead

00:23:42.740 eventually the doctor abandoned the fondariella and fled to naples leaving his property entirely in

00:23:48.820 the mafia's hands the doctor wrote a written testimony of his misfortunes giving us a key example of how

00:23:55.780 the early sicilian mafia operated a system in which mafioso strong men operated from the shadows forcing

00:24:03.220 non-compliant landowners out of town by either planting saboteurs on their farms or with threats of violence

00:24:10.420 the mafia faction that harried galati was based in the village of auditory where out of a population of

00:24:16.500 only 823 souls had been gunned down in the year 1874 alone no doubt wow out of 823 killed through

00:24:26.340 violence remember guys this is before them extorting people uh like you know nowadays you know what

00:24:31.780 modern businesses gambling loan sharking all the crimes that we know the mafia for it started with

00:24:37.380 extorting farmers you know okay and then it blossomed to something else go ahead somebody said that this

00:24:42.420 happens a lot in venezuela and that's true my my my my dad has a farm and that happens a lot still like

00:24:49.860 to this day like people in venezuela we call them vacunas but it's it's literally this like people will

00:24:56.820 store or farm owners so they can keep like their production or the farm and yeah it happens a lot it's

00:25:06.500 crazy yeah venezuela is crazy man very dangerous all right they were individuals who had defied the

00:25:13.140 rule of the mafia while dr galati's case was maybe only one story out of many there exists countless

00:25:20.580 cases just like it in lemon groves farms and villages all over sicily throughout the latter half

00:25:26.340 of the 19th century the 1870s saw not just the steady increase of mafia power but also the development

00:25:34.580 of many of their rituals which still survive to this day in 1875 palermo's chief of police reported

00:25:42.260 on the initiation rites of mafia in which new members were made to prick their finger and smear

00:25:48.100 blood over the image of a christian saint after which the bloodied image was then burned binding the

00:25:54.180 initiate to undying loyalty and symbolizing the death of all traitors to cosa nostra another sacred

00:26:01.780 tenet that had now guys this ceremony right here is what guys do to become made guys okay where and

00:26:08.180 we're going to talk about that as well a little bit later on but this is the process of becoming a

00:26:11.700 made man and we're going to define that as well okay but it's an ancient well not ancient but extremely

00:26:18.980 old uh ritual that's done for guys to become fully initiated into the mafia okay we're going to go into

00:26:26.260 a little bit more detail that later on propped up in the decades prior was omerta originating from the

00:26:33.220 sicilian word umilta meaning humility omerta was a law that compelled all mafioso to never speak about

00:26:40.900 their affiliations to anyone outside of their inner circle under threat of death it was clear now that

00:26:47.940 what had begun as a loose association of opportunistic roots had evolved into something much deeper born from

00:26:55.140 the chaos of sicily's upheaval an entire society existing in the shadows bound by blood a society

00:27:03.460 whose hooks sunk deep into the lives of countless men women and children the 1880s saw cosa nostra power 0.99

00:27:11.780 grow even further teresi colonna the man who had first brought public attention to the mafia some 20 years

00:27:19.140 earlier was elected mayor of palermo in 1881 supposedly a staunch opponent of sicily's criminal overlords

00:27:27.620 in reality colonna had been paid off by the very people who had tried to gun him down decades before

00:27:34.980 heavy oh boy he was it was a straight arrow before now he's corrupted allegations pointed to a crooked mayor

00:27:45.060 of a crooked city protecting mafioso from the law even hiring a mafia member as his chief of police

00:27:52.500 colonna was just one of many and this is something that you guys are going to notice uh you know when

00:27:57.460 it comes to mafia cases in general there is always some level of corruption bribery and payments to

00:28:04.500 government officials to allow them to continue to uh you know commit their criminal activity

00:28:09.540 unhindered public servants whom the mafia had ingratiated themselves with the mob's ability to

00:28:16.100 pull powerful politicians into their pocket became a key strategy of theirs in the years to come

00:28:21.940 and an essential source of their growth as an organization so far was its reach that around this

00:28:28.500 era a roman correspondent of the british daily the times remarked that the gangsters were an

00:28:34.420 intangible sect whose organization is as perfect as that of the jesuits or the freemasons and whose

00:28:40.740 secrets are more impenetrable from here we begin to enter the era known more broadly through popular film

00:28:49.060 between the 1880s and 1930s one million sicilians emigrated to america and naturally the mafioso went 1.00

00:28:57.060 with them the prohibition era of the 1920s saw mafia activity explode in the united states as they made

00:29:04.980 a fortune from smuggling bootleg liquor and later on branching out into prostitution and drugs while

00:29:12.100 the casa nostra of america operated independently from their cousins back home in sicily they shared

00:29:17.940 the same rituals of shadow and blood mafia factions would continue to hold sit bam all right so that pretty

00:29:25.460 much summarizes it right there right the origins of the sicilian mafia guys in uh in sicily and then

00:29:33.620 how they came over to the united states um you have some energy yeah do you know what uh well in wikipedia

00:29:42.100 yeah it says that the word mafia comes from mafioso which is like a mafia member which is called like you

00:29:48.980 you know like it's a what's it what's it what's this like mafioso mafioso yeah in english is this like

00:29:55.300 swagger uh swagger right um i don't know about that yeah it's i think it's swagger anyways um the word

00:30:03.220 mafia comes from mafia like mafia because uh a sicilian woman apparently got her daughter abused by uh

00:30:12.260 an officer oh yeah french guy what a french guy yeah it was a french invader oh yeah yeah yes so

00:30:19.380 uh you you saw in the video that yeah i heard about right so um she started like running through the

00:30:25.380 streets uh screaming like my daughter my daughter which means mafia in in sicilian but it will be like 0.92

00:30:31.300 in italian i think it's mia figlia something like that so people started like seeing the word mafia

00:30:38.020 as uh as a resistance movement movement or something resistance movement yeah okay all right

00:30:44.660 so uh now we're gonna get into guys the italian mafia here uh so now that we know the origins right

00:30:51.460 we've we pretty much went over how they were formed right three through honestly through lawlessness

00:30:56.340 and they saw an opportunity where there was a bunch of economic growth through farming agriculture

00:31:02.740 and they were able to stick their tentacles inside of that extract the resources and become very

00:31:07.220 wealthy in the process and if you don't pay up you end up getting you know up so uh i'll hit some

00:33:33.700 comment in the comment section right now if y'all know who they're talking about right now in this uh

00:33:37.620 courtroom the new service rises to the witness stand and begins to drone on about missing tax returns and

00:33:44.820 unreported income without context this scene appears to be about as mundane and boring as can be

00:33:52.180 however millions more recognize this court proceeding for what it is the technicality that allows the

00:34:29.300 without talking about them boys you know what time it is yeah i know what time it is man

00:34:36.420 indeed to many the era of the speakeasy the tommy gun and the illicit bootlegger needs no introduction

00:34:43.700 but how did criminals like al capone grow so powerful welcome to the latest video in our

00:34:49.940 series on organized crime where we will explore the origins of the american mobsters and explain

00:34:56.340 how the era of prohibition allowed them to become some of the most powerful criminals in world history 1.00

00:35:02.900 today's video is sponsored by babble fuck you babble we don't give a shit about you bro 0.99

00:35:11.620 immigration to the united states as war poverty oppression and famine rocks their homelands 0.99

00:35:18.580 millions of irish southern italians and eastern european jews crossed the atlantic in search of

00:35:24.980 new opportunities see them boys came through as well man y'all know what i'm saying in 1892

00:35:32.020 the iconic federal processing station on ellis island opened its doors but as thousands of

00:35:37.940 migrants passed through its crowded lines each day they soon found that the united states was not

00:35:43.940 quite quite the dreamland they hoped it to be nativist sentiment was strong amongst the upper crust of

00:35:50.340 american society and many movements sprung up as a result these cultural conservatives claimed that

00:35:57.540 the united states was founded upon the principles of an anglo-saxon protestant society and had no place

00:36:04.660 for the jews or the catholics consequently sorry i just gotta laugh at that guys my bad let's keep going 0.89

00:36:14.980 new migrants were often denied respectable jobs forced to perform menial labor while being crammed into

00:36:21.860 slums like the infamous five points in new york where poor families were stuffed into homes built at

00:36:28.260 top landfills amidst tanneries and glue factories most immigrants made the most of the hand dealt to 1.00

00:36:35.540 them and worked hard to provide for their families others turned to more insidious means to make ends meet

00:36:43.460 the story of organized crime in america begins as early as the 1830s with the rise of a handful of

00:36:50.500 predominantly irish gangs in the slums of new york the most now have you guys noticed right whether it's you

00:36:57.060 know because i talked about this with the bloods in the crypts uh now you guys are seeing it here

00:37:01.540 with the irish with the jews with the italians etc right what's basically happening is when a group

00:37:08.900 is oppressed to a degree a lot of times what they do is is they stick together and they form an alliance

00:37:15.300 and this alliance ends up being a gang a lot of the times and what they do is they say okay if we're not

00:37:19.380 going to be given these opportunities we're going to take these opportunities so a lot of time oppression

00:37:25.460 right leads to poverty which then leads to some type of rebellion slash crime which is typically

00:37:30.740 done and done through the formation of alliances of a like-minded like religion like looked upon

00:37:39.300 people okay so uh yeah let's keep going prominent of these gangs was known as the dead rabbits based out

00:37:47.620 of the poverty-stricken five point they arose as a defiant movement against class oppression imposed on

00:37:54.660 poor irishmen consequently their main rival the bowery boys gang was a xenophobic posse of protestant

00:38:02.420 american-born nativists led by bill the butcher pool the gangs fought street battles with knives hatchets

00:38:10.340 spiked clubs brass knuckles tomahawks and muskets and their conflict became an inspiration for herbert

00:38:17.620 asprey's 1927 non-fiction book the gangs of new york and its movie adaption by martin scorsese

00:38:25.460 the most prominent leader of the dead rabbits was john old smoke morrissey a professional boxer who had

00:38:32.740 made his fortune in prize fights even becoming the champion of america in 1853 morrissey soon took his

00:38:40.980 violent lifestyle to the streets of five points having his most bitter rival bill pool gunned down

00:38:47.780 in a broadway saloon in a morbid statement against anti-irish activism in the following years morrissey

00:38:55.060 became the king of new york's gambling scene owning racetracks and clubs that attracted such prestigious

00:39:01.860 guests as mark twain john d rockefeller and ulysses s grant morrissey was soon so influential that with

00:39:09.620 the help of the democratic party political organization known as tamani hall he was elected

00:39:15.460 into the united states congress in 1867 where he wow always looked out for the irish using strong-arm

00:39:27.380 tactics to accomplish his goals the story of his life left a dubious legacy felonious violence was a

00:39:34.980 valid path to wealth for the disenfranchised immigrants throughout the 1880s and 1890s

00:39:41.860 new waves of jewish and italian migrants would arrive to carve a place for themselves in the

00:39:47.300 streets of new york and beyond out of manhattan's lower east end and again guys you see a trend here

00:39:54.340 at the time the united states was growing through immigration and there was many opportunities being

00:39:58.820 given the united states was starting to quickly become a powerhouse in the global

00:40:03.300 realm so what ends up happening is these immigrants come here and they see the opportunity and what do

00:40:08.900 they do well obviously some people put their nose to the ground and they're working really hard and

00:40:13.060 creating wealth naturally right through hard work and perseverance others saw opportunity to exploit it

00:40:20.340 and be criminals and make money through that regard so like i said before anytime there's economic

00:40:25.380 explosion there's always people ready to scan the system and make money nefariously you got something

00:40:31.380 i said like i'll be the first one that you mentioned

00:40:36.660 a charismatic thug named monk eastman knit together an insidious order made up predominantly of young jews 1.00

00:40:44.020 from brooklyn his organization became known as the eastman gang and he became a local kingpin in

00:40:50.980 gambling prostitution opium dealing and violent extortion eastman's main rival was paulo antonio

00:40:57.940 antonio vaccarelli better known by his americanized name paul kelly styling himself as a sophisticated

00:41:05.380 gentleman kelly made a name as a dexterous flyweight boxer riding the fame of his victories in the ring

00:41:12.500 to open up several brothels and clubs he eventually cobbled together the largest and most vicious italian 1.00

00:41:19.380 mob in new york by 1901 kelly and eastman's cronies were locked in a bloody turf war in the lower east

00:41:27.300 side consequently the two gangs were also in the pocket of tammany hall who used the violent mobsters

00:41:34.660 to further their political goals in the new york state legislature

00:41:38.660 through bribery extortion and voter fraud in order to enforce a peace between the two

00:41:48.180 tammany hall organized a boxing match between kelly and eastman to determine the fate of their gang war

00:41:55.220 the two mob bosses beat each other bloody for two hours but the match ended in a draw and the war resumed

00:42:02.420 not all the gangs in new york were started by impoverished laborers some had deep ties to well

00:42:10.100 established secret societies which had been formed in italy decades earlier and carried over to the

00:42:16.260 united states by its powerful criminals two of these groups were the camora and the infamous cosa nostra 0.79

00:42:23.860 whose rise to power in 19th century sicily we have covered in a previous video meanwhile irish gangs

00:42:31.380 held out against the jewish and italian advance morrissey's dead rabbit society had long since been 0.72

00:42:38.420 absorbed into the five points gang but many irish factions that remained united to form the white hand

00:42:45.540 gang named in juxtaposition to the italians who practiced a form of extortionism known as black hand

00:42:52.740 violence it should be noted that not all these gangs were divided entirely on ethnic lines for example

00:43:00.580 some jews served under the five points gang while some italians worked for the eastmen plenty of

00:43:06.980 irish alongside poles slovaks and other marginalized immigrant communities were present in all gangs 1.00

00:43:14.660 and uh this is very true guys because even though at the time which you guys we're going to talk about

00:43:19.940 this here in a little bit as well uh there was frowned upon for mafia guys to work with let's say other

00:43:25.380 organized criminal factions such as like maybe the jewish mafia whatever aka them boys right they 0.61

00:43:31.220 still did so because they could make money together and they were being oppressed regardless so they're

00:43:35.860 like yeah let's just work together and make money so this is very common for people of different groups

00:43:41.060 to work together even though sometimes it was frowned upon we're going to talk about that

00:43:44.500 with lucky luciano okay and mayor lansky here in a little bit but let's not get too ahead of ourselves

00:43:51.940 we'll keep going at the turn of the century the foundations had been laid for an era of lawlessness

00:43:58.580 in the heart of the united states but it would be two decades later that a certain constitutional

00:44:04.740 amendment would pass allowing the mobsters of america to explode in prominence and initiating an

00:44:11.540 age of criminal kings who ruled by right of barley hops and rye now guys i want to make this very

00:44:19.060 clear prohibition okay which basically was i think it was the 18th amendment uh basically made alcohol

00:44:30.500 illegal in the united states the amount of opportunity this created for mafia dudes to make bootlight

00:44:38.340 alcohol and sell was ridiculous they made billions of dollars in today's you know if you were to like

00:44:45.860 use uh and you know account for inflation whatever may be in today's dollars they made billions of

00:44:51.060 dollars on the sale of uh fake alcohol and alcohol in general to people while it was banned and it allowed

00:44:59.140 them to take this money and invest it into other legitimate businesses and become very very wealthy where they

00:45:07.220 had influence over politicians law enforcement and government officials so prohibition is what allowed

00:45:16.180 the mafia to have a meteoric rise in social status and financial um power because it was because everyone

00:45:25.780 just wanted a drink and they couldn't get it and the only way to get it was through who organized crime

00:45:30.980 in the united states the world was in the united states of the united states that the united states

00:45:35.540 america was a nation that loved its liquor in lieu of access to clean water and unable to afford tea and

00:45:43.620 coffee the beverage of choice for the average yankee was a nice cool tankard of beer however it was also a

00:45:51.140 nation founded by puritans so its society had civil watchdogs who decried the effects of the alcohol namely the rise of

00:46:00.100 of domestic abuse and substance addiction, and a dive in the physical and mental health of the

00:46:06.180 average working man. In 1873, a group of disgruntled wives who had long suffered at the hands of their 0.80

00:46:14.360 drunk husbands formed a society known as the Women's Crusade, whose prayers and songs against

00:46:21.020 excessive drinking rang out throughout the nation. The anti-alcohol sentiment grew in the following

00:46:27.400 decades, as temperance movements soon evolved into the total prohibition of any and all alcoholic

00:46:34.380 beverages. The hell wise, this is why chicks deserve less, guys. Mama mia! The leading organization in this 1.00

00:46:42.880 was the Anti-Saloon League, whose relentless lobbying soon had changed most of the- Which, by the way,

00:47:50.720 that they deserve less, deserve less food, less comida. All right. Let's get back to the show.

00:47:58.600 United States Congress to their side. By the winter of 1919, the Great War was over. Charlie

00:48:06.240 Chaplin was rising in popularity and lively jazz clubs rocked America. On paper, the economy was

00:48:13.700 booming. However, the nation would soon be shaken to its core. The federal government,

00:48:19.460 under pressure from anti-alcohol abolitionists, passed the 18th Amendment to the United States

00:48:25.180 Constitution. The era of alcoholic prohibition had begun. As saloons, taverns, and distilleries

00:48:33.360 across the nation shut their doors, Puritans from coast to coast celebrated the beginning of a 1.00

00:48:39.380 golden age of Christian righteousness and virtues. In reality, by taking drink out of the hands of

00:48:46.100 legal businessmen, they had thrown it into the clutches of the shadowy gangs that had been

00:48:51.400 developing in the country for nearly a century. Bam. And guys, you got to understand that this was

00:48:58.000 already like the perfect storm brewing. So you got an influx of immigrants coming from Italy, right? 0.94

00:49:05.040 You know, you got them boys coming in. You got people from all over Europe coming into the United

00:49:10.040 States, right? And a lot of them are already involved in organized crime because they're being

00:49:14.980 ostracized and they're being oppressed by the people that already run the country, right? So what 0.94

00:49:20.400 are they doing? They're also already involved in criminal activity. So now you take away alcohol,

00:49:26.240 alcohol, which is something that everyone wants, right? And the only way that you can get it is

00:49:31.020 through who? The very people that are being oppressed the most because they're the ones willing to break

00:49:35.900 the laws to supply the alcohol to the people that want to be able to get drunk, right? And this is a

00:49:40.420 nation that was founded upon alcohol. People were drinking beer for centuries over here. So now it gives

00:49:46.960 them what? That opportunity that I talked about to make a ridiculous amount of money. So it was the

00:49:52.840 perfect storm brewing to allow the mafia to have a meteoric rise that you guys are going to see right

00:49:59.500 now. Throughout the 1920s, almost every major city became the home of some form of criminal organization

00:50:07.780 that supplied its population with alcohol in defiance of the law. Before long, America was full of illicit

00:50:15.620 establishments known as speakeasies in which bootleg alcohol flowed freely. Al Capone is one of the most

00:50:23.480 recognizable names in American history, and his repeated presence in this video should surprise no

00:50:29.940 one. Born in Manhattan in 1899 to a pair of poor Italian immigrants, he dropped out of school at 14 to join

00:50:38.680 Paul Kelly's Five Points Gang, working as a bouncer in one of their saloons. At 18, he was savagely

00:50:45.820 attacked by a knife-wielding patron in a dispute over a woman. The assault left the young gangster with

00:50:52.460 three grotesque serrations on the left side of his face, which would give birth to his infamous nickname,

00:50:59.120 Scarface. In 1919, he moved to Chicago, where he found work under the mob boss Johnny Torrio.

00:51:06.940 Torrio soon retired and handed his criminal empire to Capone, which the young gangster proved to be

00:51:14.040 exceptionally capable at running. By 1927, the portly mob boss was the undisputed king of the Windy City,

00:51:22.820 having made a fortune of hundreds of underground breweries, distilleries, speakeasies, racetracks,

00:51:28.980 and brothels he controlled across the entire greater Chicago area.

00:51:33.120 And guys, don't worry. I'm going to go ahead and cover in detail the different crime families. So we're going to

00:51:39.720 cover the five families of New York. We're going to cover the Chicago outfit, okay, also known as the Chicago

00:51:44.560 mafia, also known as the outfit. We're going to cover the Traficantes down in Florida. We're going to cover the guys 1.00

00:51:50.500 out in Vegas. We're going to cover all of it, man. So don't worry. Like I said before, the reason why I put off doing the

00:51:57.940 Italian mafia for so long is because I knew that it was going to take a while to cover all this because it's a lot of

00:52:02.860 content. It's a lot of stuff. So what's more than likely going to happen, just so y'all know, by the way, as well,

00:52:08.620 quick little announcement. We're going to be, this is the first episode of the mafia that we're dropping

00:52:14.280 today, right, which gives you guys the history and we're going to go over terms, etc. And then every subsequent

00:52:19.000 episode from this point forward is going to be dropped on Thursdays, okay? We're going to pre-record a drop

00:52:23.800 for y'all and we're going to cover whether it's a family, the FBI taking them down, something we're

00:52:30.320 going to be doing. I estimate that this is going to be somewhere between a five to ten part series,

00:52:35.300 depending on whether we consolidate some families together or whatever it may be. But don't worry,

00:52:41.420 we're going to go over some of the bigger mobsters in detail when we cover the different families,

00:52:46.020 right? So like when we do the Gambinos, for example, we're going to be covering John Gotti

00:52:49.520 extensively. When we do the Chicago Alpha, we're going to be covering Al Capone and the

00:52:53.780 Valentine's Day Massacre. So we're going to cover the Philly mob. We're going to cover the

00:52:58.280 Angulos up in Boston, you know, and John Connolly and Whitey Bulger and all that. So don't worry, 1.00

00:53:03.120 I got y'all, baby. All right, which by the way, for some of you guys, if you want a sneak preview

00:53:09.060 of that, I covered that to a pretty significant degree already when I did Whitey Bulger on Fetit as well.

00:53:16.660 So if you guys want to know a little and you can't wait, go ahead and check out that episode

00:53:23.980 of Whitey Bulger that I did before. Also, we got 1,700 of you guys watching the show right now.

00:53:28.580 Do me a favor, like the video, subscribe to the channel because y'all are not going to get

00:53:32.260 a former Fed out here breaking down organized crime for you guys and giving you guys this level of

00:53:37.600 detail and entertainment, of course, at the same time. And you're not going to get a cute

00:53:43.500 Venezuelan girl that can't speak English anymore. It's all right. So yeah, you guys, 1.00

00:53:47.280 we got 1,700 people watching right now. So you better like the video. You better like the video

00:53:53.320 because Angie needs a new pair of pants. Yeah, because she got attacked by a tiger somewhere. 1.00

00:53:56.880 All right. You guys better like that video. All right, let's keep going.

00:54:04.020 His main rival was George Bugs Moran and his Irish Northsiders gang. Back East, a new generation 1.00

00:54:12.480 of ambitious crime lords had emerged from the old gangs and divided New York amongst themselves.

00:54:19.280 Arnold Rothstein's origin story was unlike most mobsters. The son of a businessman of high

00:54:30.740 standing and the younger brother of a rabbi in training, the Jewish youth took a darker path 0.97

00:54:36.680 than the rest of his family, delving into the world of gambling and blackmail. It was even alleged

00:54:43.220 that he managed to fix the 1919 Baseball World Series between the Chicago Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds

00:54:50.440 by bribing the Red Sox to throw the game. When prohibition became law, Rothstein turned to illegal

00:54:57.740 alcohol to make his fortune. By 1925, he was one of the most powerful crooks in the country,

00:55:05.120 forging a criminal empire based out of Broadway and becoming the largest bootlegger in the nation.

00:55:12.200 Charles Lucky Luciano was born in 1897 in Palermo, Sicily, as the son of a poor sulfur miner.

00:55:19.480 In 1906, his family emigrated to New York. As a teenager, Luciano fell in love with the Five Points

00:55:37.460 and came into the employ of a faction of the Cosa Nostra led by the ruthless Giuseppe

00:55:43.340 Joe the Boss Masseria. Unlike other Italian-American gangs, the Sicilian Cosa Nostra was

00:55:50.480 staunchly conservative, refusing to work with non-Italians and even reluctant to work with 1.00

00:55:56.840 non-Sicilian Italians. This young Americanized Luciano was shocked when his old Sicilian-raised 0.61

00:56:04.100 boss referred to his good friend Frank Costello as a dirty Calabrian. Calabria was right next to Sicily 0.93

00:56:11.920 and anyway. Yo, W-racism against your own country.

00:56:18.060 My man was racist to a whole other level. And just so you guys know, the reason why Luciano

00:56:23.220 frowned upon this is because Luciano worked very closely with Mayor Lansky, who was what? One of

00:56:30.060 them boys, okay? And Mayor Lansky actually was responsible for helping get Luciano out of prison,

00:56:36.980 right? As a part of a naval intelligence thing, okay? Which, uh, them boys were involved in some

00:56:44.700 things back in the day, which we're going to talk about that with Ryan Dawson as well. If you don't

00:56:48.040 believe me, watch the documentary, New Mac, okay? Uh, on Rumble. You can't watch that shit on YouTube

00:56:54.760 for obvious reasons. But, uh, yeah. And y'all will see what Mayor Lansky was really doing, uh, back then. 1.00

00:57:01.320 Um, but yes, Lucky Luciano worked very closely with them boys. And his boss, Masseria, did not like

00:57:08.940 that at the time, which is going to lead to a war, which we're going to talk about as well after this.

00:57:15.380 Anyway, they were both Americans now. Luciano soon began to dream of a new world order where Jewish, 1.00

00:57:22.560 Irish, and Italian gangs alike could breach racial lines and work together. And in all Luciano cared

00:57:29.460 about was making money. He didn't care about color, religion, race, none of that. Luciano worked

00:57:34.380 with anyone where he could make money. And his bosses didn't like that, which messed with his

00:57:38.520 ability to earn money.

00:57:39.460 ...britch one another in defiance of the government. At the height of prohibition,

00:57:45.360 mobsters across the country were suddenly making exponentially more money than their predecessors.

00:57:51.220 Before, the gangs had been limited to immigrant neighborhoods in poorer parts of cities.

00:57:56.400 But prohibition had transformed them into high-flying international businessmen. It now became

00:58:03.180 commonplace for every major crook to hire lawyers, accountants, real estate investors,

00:58:09.240 and shipping contractors. By the mid-twenties, the most powerful of kingpins were spending the

00:58:15.200 equivalent of 7 million modern US dollars a month on bribes alone. Still, they remained violent.

00:58:22.360 Holy! Rewind that. How much money? What?

00:58:28.140 US dollars a month full of kingpins were spending the equivalent of 7 million modern US dollars a

00:58:34.220 month on bribes alone.

00:58:36.140 Guys, on bribes alone, they were spending 7 million dollars in today's money. That's 84 million a year,

00:58:43.140 if I'm not mistaken. Guys, that is crazy. Just to pay politicians off. But I've told y'all,

00:58:47.920 guys, this is what it takes to run organized crime at the level that these guys were, where their

00:58:54.040 tentacles were literally in everything making big money thanks to prohibition.

00:58:58.700 Still, they remained violent, merciless criminals, using brutal methods to maintain control over their

00:59:05.780 territory. Before long, it became evident that those who lived by the Tommy gun would die by it.

00:59:12.480 Even the most powerful of bosses were far from untouchable. In 1928, Rothstein was gunned down

00:59:20.480 during a meeting at the luxurious Park Central Hotel over an unsettled gambling debt. In Chicago,

00:59:27.720 the escalating war between Capone and Moran reached its crescendo on St. Valentine's Day of 1929,

00:59:35.100 when seven Northsiders were openly murdered. This brazen, borderline public execution shocked the

00:59:42.280 American public. And although everyone knew the portly Scarface gangster was behind it, 0.84

00:59:48.620 no court had enough evidence to convict him. In October of that same year, Luciano was ambushed

00:59:56.020 and forced into a limousine where he was beaten, stabbed, and strung up by his hands from a wooden beam

01:00:02.180 in a storehouse. Despite all this, he lived, thus earning his moniker, Lucky.

01:00:08.520 And as you guys can see here, he has a lazy left eye, sorry, lazy right eye. And that was from the

01:00:15.940 assault.

01:00:16.260 These acts of violence quickly soured public opinion of the booze runners who committed them.

01:00:22.800 No longer were the likes of Capone seen as righteous Robin Hoods supplying the people with

01:00:28.260 alcohol in defiance of an unjust law. The veil was lifted, and everyone saw the gangsters for what

01:00:35.320 they truly were. Nevertheless, the power of the American mobster continued to grow.

01:00:41.380 In 1931, Luciano murdered his boss Masseria and defected to the organization of his biggest rival,

01:00:49.940 fellow Sicilian Salvatore Maranzano. Maranzano consolidated control over all the major Italian

01:00:56.520 crime families in New York and declared himself Capodituticapi, boss of all bosses. However,

01:01:03.860 young Luciano was not content with second place, and that same year hired the brutal Irish hitman

01:01:11.040 Vincent Maddog Cole to take out his new boss. With Maranzano out of the picture, Luciano became the

01:01:18.720 most powerful mobster in the country, and finally ushered in his new world order, spearheading the

01:01:25.160 formation of the Commission, a unification of all of America's major Italian crime families.

01:01:31.600 For his efforts, Luciano came to be known as the father of organized crime in the United States,

01:01:38.020 creating a confederation of Italian-American gangs across New York, Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia,

01:01:45.140 while also promoting open cooperation with Jewish and, to a lesser extent, Irish outfits as well.

01:01:52.640 Despite moving away from the political conservatism of the old Cosa Nostra, the new American Mafia

01:01:58.980 confederation created cultural unity by following a strict set of rules that originated in its Sicilian

01:02:06.180 heartland. This included the adoption of Cosa Nostra initiation rituals, hierarchical structure,

01:02:13.140 and the famous policy of Ometa, the code of silence. In 1931, Al Capone was...

01:02:20.700 All right, so guys, so that basically, we'll talk more about Al Capone later on. But here's Lucky

01:02:25.840 Luciano here, guys, okay? This guy is literally probably responsive. They call him the father of

01:02:31.940 organized crime for a reason. So, Charles Lucky Luciano, born Salvatore Luciano, November 24th,

01:02:38.900 1897, died January 26th, 1962, was an Italian-born gangster who operated mainly in the United States.

01:02:44.820 Luciano started his criminal career in the Five Points Gang and was instrumental in development

01:02:48.460 the National Crime Syndicate. Luciano is considered the father of organized crime in the United States

01:02:53.540 for the establishment of the commission in 1931 after he abolished the boss of all bosses settled

01:02:57.780 held by Salvatore Maranzano following the Castellan-Marie's War. He was also the first official

01:03:05.260 boss of the modern Genovese crime family. I find it important to kind of define what's the commission.

01:03:12.680 Oh, yes, we will. We will. Okay. In 1936, Luciano was tried to be convicted for compulsory

01:03:19.520 prostitution and running a prostitution racket after years of investigation by district attorney

01:03:24.660 Thomas E. Dewey. He was sentenced to 30 years, 30, 50 years of prison. But during World War II,

01:03:29.660 an agreement was struck with the Department of the Navy through who? Them boys! Okay?

01:03:35.700 A.K.A. Marilansky to provide naval intelligence. Hmm.

01:03:42.920 Again, if you guys want to know more about that, watch the documentary,

01:03:46.400 Newmec, if you guys want to know about them boys and their involvement, Mayor Lansky,

01:03:52.460 Luciano, and naval intelligence. In 1946, for his alleged wartime cooperation,

01:03:57.500 his sentence was commuted to the condition that he be deported to Italy. Luciano died in Italy on

01:04:01.820 January 26, 1962, and his body was permitted to be transported back to the United States

01:04:05.300 for burial. Okay? Which is crazy in itself. Okay? So anyway, with that said as well, guys,

01:04:13.820 I wanted to cover the, um, the Casta Mallorí's, uh, Casta Mallorí's, uh, Casta Mallorí's war.

01:04:21.840 Okay? Um, it was a bloody power struggle for the control of the Italian-American mafia

01:04:25.960 that took place in New York City, New York, from February 1930 until April 15, 1931,

01:04:30.380 between the partisans of Joe the Boss Masseria and those of Salvatore Maranzano. The war was named

01:04:36.020 after the Sicilian town of Casta Mallorí, Casta Mallorí, Castel Amare del Golfo, the birthplace

01:04:44.000 of Maranzano. Maranzano's faction won and divided New York's crime families into the five families.

01:04:49.700 Maranzano declared himself capo de tutti de capi, boss of all bosses. However, Maranzano was murdered

01:04:56.660 in September 1931 on orders of Lucky Luciano, who established a power-sharing arrangement called

01:05:02.460 the Commission, a group of mafia families of equal stature to avoid wars in the future. Now,

01:05:08.280 you guys are probably wondering, what is the Commission? Well, the guys, the Commission,

01:05:10.640 okay, is the governing body of the Italian-American mafia formed by 19, in 1931 by Charles Lucky

01:05:17.200 Luciano following the Casta Mallorí's war. The Commission replaced the title of capo de tutti capi,

01:05:22.500 boss of all bosses, held by Salvatore Maranzano before his murder, with a ruling committee

01:05:26.820 that consists of the bosses of the five families of the New York City, as well as the bosses of the

01:05:31.620 Chicago outfit, and at various times, the leaders of the smaller families, such as Buffalo,

01:05:35.600 Philadelphia, Detroit, and others. The purpose of the Commission was to oversee all mafia activities

01:05:41.220 in the United States and to serve to mediate conflicts among families. Throughout the history

01:05:47.980 of the Commission, the body has been involved in several incidents, including the Appalachian

01:05:51.960 meeting in 1957, a plot to kill seven members of the Commission in 1963, and the Mafia Commission

01:05:57.680 trial in 1985. As y'all know, this was run by your boy, Rudy Giuliani, okay? So now, to document this

01:06:08.240 war a little bit more with you guys, where I got a documentary here, the Mafia and the Casta Mallorí's

01:06:12.980 war, because again, this war led to the formation of the Commission and the five families, and put Lucky

01:06:20.780 Luciano at the top of it all, and unlike Maranzano, right? Lucky Luciano, what he cared about, guys,

01:06:27.960 was making money. So when he took over, he didn't say, I'm the boss of all bosses. He didn't say no

01:06:33.220 dumb shit like that. He said, hey, I don't want nothing from none of y'all. You guys run your own 1.00

01:06:36.700 families. Every five years, we meet together. We have a meeting. Make sure that we, you know, mediate

01:06:42.720 and don't, you know, squash any beefs, you know, deal with any issues, and we all make money.

01:06:48.660 Luciano only cared about making money. He didn't care if he had to work with them boys.

01:06:53.000 He didn't care if he had to work with Albanians. He didn't care if he had to work with blacks. He 0.99

01:06:56.940 didn't care. As long as he could make money, that's what he cared about. He didn't want anyone

01:07:01.440 interfering with that. So his thing was, I'm going to make the commission. It's a ruling body. We all

01:07:06.800 work together. Let's get this money. Meanwhile, Maranzano and them, they wanted all power, which is

01:07:12.340 what Luciano did not want, which is why he was involved in killing Miseria, Maranzano. He backs 0.80

01:07:18.000 stabbed them. But at the end of the day, it allowed everyone to make more money, which

01:07:23.840 is what his main, his bottom line was. All right, let's go ahead and play this war so you guys

01:07:31.080 kind of get a better idea of it. Because this is, this war is what led to the formation

01:07:34.740 of the modern day mafia as we know it. We're going to go over the terms and the hierarchies

01:07:38.500 after which was created through this war.

01:07:41.520 In 1928, when peace could not be reached, the two factions put their hands to their guns

01:07:48.400 and the shooting began. Between the years 1920, remember guys, the two factions are the

01:07:54.800 Massaria side and the Maranzano side.

01:07:57.960 28 to 1930, it was estimated by the New York police that the death toll in the Costello-Marisi

01:08:04.700 war was greater than 50 men. Tired of the war and viewing it as unprofitable, Massaria's

01:08:12.380 lieutenants, Charles Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Vito Genovese, and others conspired to have

01:08:20.280 their boss, Massaria, killed.

01:08:22.980 So they were originally with Massaria, okay? And also, guys, do me a favor, like the video.

01:08:27.260 We got almost 1,800 of you guys watching right now, but we only got 994 likes, man.

01:08:31.740 Let's get up to at least 1,500.

01:08:35.380 Then sought peace with Maranzano.

01:08:37.560 It was Maranzano who gave structure to the current organization in New York, known as

01:08:44.080 the Five Families. And it was Maranzano who first coined the phrase Cosa Nostra, meaning

01:08:50.780 our thing. Please note that this phrase was only applied to the New York Borgatas. It was

01:08:58.220 not used by other families throughout the country. For example, Chicago simply referred to themselves

01:09:04.700 as the outfit. The original Five Families, as set up by Maranzano, included Charles Lucky

01:09:11.680 Luciano, Thomas Gagliano, Joseph Profaci, Frank Scalisi, and Joseph Bonanno.

01:09:20.700 And this, my friends, was the beginning of the New York Five Families that you guys famously

01:09:27.380 know now, okay? Which ended up becoming the Lucchesis, the Gambinos, the Colombo, the Bonanno, 0.99

01:09:36.100 etc.

01:09:36.380 Though Bonanno never heard Maranzano call himself the boss of bosses, many, even a few inside

01:09:44.900 his own family, believed this was his intention. In their view, they had simply traded one tyrant

01:09:51.620 for another. What was well known is that Maranzano did not trust the new alliance, and therefore

01:09:59.240 he put a contract on Luciano, Costello, Genovese, Joey Adonis, Willie Moretti, Dutch Schultz, and

01:10:09.700 Al Capone.

01:10:10.480 Bam. So obviously he wanted, he wanted them all dead, okay? So this is why Lucky Luciano 0.99

01:10:18.740 conspired and had some other hitmen go ahead and take Maranzano out, because he knew that

01:10:26.060 there was a contract on his head, and he had to get rid of him first.

01:10:29.200 And that he had hired Vincent Mad Dog Cole to take them out. Ironically, the tip-off to

01:10:35.300 Luciano came from a Maranzano man, Thomas Three Finger Brown Lucchesi, who had secretly

01:10:41.640 backed the plan of a new commission. A plan conceived not...

01:10:46.720 Because Maranzano was acting ridiculous, saying, I'm the boss of all bosses, and y'all need 0.75

01:10:51.720 to all answer to me, blah, blah, blah. And they were like, bro, what the hell? 0.99

01:10:55.520 Not in the mind of Charles Luciano, but in the brilliant foresight...

01:10:59.420 And he also didn't like them boys. So obviously Luciano, who works very closely with them boys,

01:11:06.760 wanted him gone.

01:11:08.260 Of Johnny Torrio, one-time partner with Al Capone. With this information, Luciano struck

01:11:17.600 first, hitting Maranzano. He arranged for Samuel Red Levine and three other gangsters.

01:11:24.840 Levine. Y'all know what time it is, man. Them boys are about to strike.

01:11:33.180 Provided by Meyer Lansky.

01:11:35.340 So Meyer Lansky provided the people, right, aka the boys, all right, to go ahead and take

01:11:43.900 out the boss of all bosses, Maranzano.

01:11:46.460 I do have a question, though.

01:11:47.500 Yeah, go ahead.

01:11:48.080 How these guys didn't have... Well, I don't know if they did. That's my question.

01:11:51.480 They have, like, a security... Securities with them. Like, you know, like...

01:11:55.980 Oh, you're going to see how they did it now. Watch.

01:11:57.980 You're going to see how Meyer Lansky and them boys did it.

01:12:01.640 To go to Maranzano's office on September 10th, 1931, posing as accountants and taxmen.

01:12:10.280 Translation. They went and posed as IRS agents, guys.

01:12:14.220 That's how they were able to get in.

01:12:15.800 So them boys walked in, pretending to be, you know, some IRS agents.

01:12:21.440 Hey, use all of us some money.

01:12:23.120 Next thing you know...

01:12:25.240 Once inside his office on the ninth floor of the Helmsley Building,

01:12:30.500 they disarmed Maranzano's guards.

01:12:33.500 The four men then shot and stabbed Salvatore Maranzano to death.

01:12:37.840 As they fled down the stairs, they came face to face with Vincent Mad Dog Cole

01:12:43.820 on his way up for a scheduled appointment that he had had with Maranzano.

01:12:49.340 They warned him that there had been a raid, and he fled the scene.

01:12:55.340 Banano, and more than likely Profaci, were not happy about this turn of events.

01:13:01.580 Banano wrote in his book, Honor Thy Father.

01:13:04.300 If told to fight, to vindicate Maranzano, the men in my family would have fought.

01:13:11.240 But what good would it have done to fight Luciano?

01:13:14.460 He had claimed self-defense in the killing of Maranzano.

01:13:18.600 Banano had previously explained that Maranzano was behaving unusually after the death of Nazaria.

01:13:26.860 Now he, that is to say Luciano, mainly wanted to be left alone to run his enterprises.

01:13:32.840 That's all he cared about was making the money.

01:13:35.120 Now here's the scene, by the way, guys, of them boys walking in.

01:13:38.420 Hopefully I don't get hit with a copyright on this.

01:13:39.520 Somebody in the chat said them keelahs.

01:13:42.520 Hopefully I don't get hit with a copyright for this, but it's only a minute 21, so let's see what happens.

01:13:46.400 Let's, let's, uh, we'll take the risk, boys.

01:13:49.040 We'll take the risk.

01:13:49.700 Let's do it.

01:13:50.560 All right.

01:13:50.860 I'm going to stop it frequently so that we can go ahead and make some commentary, et cetera.

01:13:57.840 So they, uh, don't hit us with, with it as much.

01:14:00.120 All right, guys.

01:14:01.360 I know they're going crazy right here.

01:14:03.440 All right.

01:14:03.980 Let's, let's do it, man.

01:14:04.960 The boys coming in.

01:14:05.860 Bureau of Internal Revenue.

01:14:13.020 We have a zapoina for Mr. Salvatore Maranzano.

01:14:15.460 Because they alleged that he had not been paying taxes for a very long time and owed quite a bit of money to the, uh, to the government.

01:14:30.080 Bam.

01:14:30.440 And they sat, stab him. 0.94

01:14:37.080 Them boys is attacking. 0.99

01:14:41.980 Ill acting. 0.95

01:14:43.160 What the hell? 1.00

01:14:47.540 Holy shit. 1.00

01:14:48.220 And remember, he doesn't like them boys. 0.99

01:15:01.520 He didn't want anyone to do business with these guys.

01:15:03.700 Right?

01:15:04.480 Like, cause he was, he thought, you know, everything should be Sicilian only.

01:15:07.980 He didn't even like other Italians. 0.99

01:15:09.580 Why are you holding that? 1.00

01:15:21.400 Then they end up shooting them in the head. 0.99

01:15:24.960 What a spoiler. 0.99

01:15:25.740 Oh, Lord.

01:15:26.780 Oh, Lord.

01:15:27.740 I don't think that's safe for YouTube.

01:15:29.160 So we'll just go ahead and, uh, move on.

01:15:32.540 But you guys get the idea here.

01:15:33.820 All right.

01:15:34.100 This was basically the murder of your boy Maranzano.

01:15:37.660 Okay.

01:15:38.020 Okay.

01:15:39.580 Mariner all over the place.

01:15:42.880 He's now trying to impose himself on us as Mazaria had done. 1.00

01:15:46.300 Lucky demanded nothing from us.

01:15:49.400 After the death of Maranzano.

01:15:51.400 And Luciano is smart.

01:15:52.740 That's what actually kept them from killing him.

01:15:54.760 Is that once he took power, he didn't say, I want the power.

01:15:58.320 He just said, yo, let me be the boss of my family.

01:16:00.460 Like I'm already doing.

01:16:01.740 Let me make my money.

01:16:02.900 Let's create a commission so that the power is distributed amongst all.

01:16:05.700 And let's work together and make money.

01:16:07.560 That's all I care about.

01:16:08.480 Oh, there was a change in one of the families.

01:16:12.280 The one headed up by Frank Scalise.

01:16:15.480 He may have been the Luca Brasi of his day.

01:16:18.960 Not even Joe Bonanno could call off Frank Scalise.

01:16:22.080 He had been a strong supporter.

01:16:25.040 And then, bam, here is the commission, guys.

01:16:29.280 You can see here all the different crime families.

01:16:31.300 You got Lucchese here in New York City.

01:16:32.760 Zurilli, Detroit, Patriarch of Providence, Bonanno, New York, Maggiano, I think that is.

01:16:42.640 Maggadino.

01:16:43.280 Okay.

01:16:43.720 Buffalo, Gambino, New York City.

01:16:46.740 I can't even see that.

01:16:47.560 Gancano, Chicago.

01:16:48.780 Yeah.

01:16:49.260 Gancano, Chicago.

01:16:51.080 Genovese.

01:16:51.840 I don't know why.

01:16:52.540 Hold on.

01:16:52.860 Let me try to increase the quality of this thing.

01:16:54.960 That's why.

01:16:56.040 Yeah.

01:16:56.280 On my screen, it's really blurry.

01:16:58.560 Bruno, Philadelphia, Colombo, New York City, Buffalo, Scranton, Bufalino.

01:17:05.280 So, yeah.

01:17:05.700 I'll get the idea, though.

01:17:06.700 Right?

01:17:06.960 You got the traffic contact here as well.

01:17:09.340 So.

01:17:09.940 WFBI.

01:17:11.280 Yep. 1.00

01:17:12.500 And by intelligence, yeah, in fact, shot WFBI, bro, in the fucking house, man. 1.00

01:17:16.560 FBI, open up! 0.99

01:17:18.960 And the emerging new commission, for one reason or another, considered him to be a liability.

01:17:26.240 Scalise was forced to retire by Luciano and replaced by Vincent Mangano.

01:17:32.760 It should be noted that the commission was not an all-Cicilian organization.

01:17:38.900 Nor were New York's brackets divided up only amongst the five families.

01:17:44.240 Guys, we got 1,800 of y'all in here, man.

01:17:46.360 Do me a favor.

01:17:47.080 Let's get to 1,800 likes on this thing, because this video took quite a bit of research.

01:17:50.340 Me and Angie watching literally a bunch of so much content to make sure that we gave y'all

01:17:56.340 the best videos in the most concise format that has the most historical value that is

01:18:01.940 pertinent to the topic at hand.

01:18:03.240 Dutch Schultz, a German Jew, owned a large slice of the pie.

01:18:13.260 He was, by all accounts, the most powerful single member of the commission.

01:18:18.980 Other non-Sicilians also had a voice and a vote on the commission board.

01:18:24.660 A short list includes Meyer Lansky, Louis Lepke Bacoulter, and Abner Longhi Zwilman.

01:18:33.020 Oh, what?

01:18:35.240 Them boys!

01:18:36.940 Oh my God.

01:18:37.640 Them boys had a seat at the commission too, man!

01:18:40.400 Throughout the country, others, such as the Neapolitan Al Capone, was a member of the commission.

01:18:48.760 And it should be noted that contrary to popular opinion, Capone was not mafia.

01:18:55.100 Mafioso came from Sicily, and Capone's roots were in Naples.

01:19:00.160 The five families were set up as a way of keeping the peace within the Sicilian mafia ranks.

01:19:05.760 During the 1940s and 50s, the five families began ruling the whole of the commission.

01:19:13.600 Hence the term mafia, though originally only used for and by Sicilians, became a slang term for all organized crime.

01:19:29.340 Bam.

01:19:30.400 All right.

01:19:30.740 So that covers the war and the formation, guys, okay, of the families.

01:19:38.660 And this is kind of this board here, real quick, kind of illustrates the war, the Maranzano group, and the Massaria group.

01:19:47.260 Okay.

01:19:47.900 I'm going to drop a link for you guys so you can see like...

01:19:51.780 Some of these charts?

01:19:52.400 Yeah, like all the charts so you can understand more like the family and everything.

01:19:58.520 And like the...

01:19:59.680 They have like all the charts about like the mafia, like general mafia, and also like the wars and everything.

01:20:06.220 So I'm going to drop it here so you guys can see it.

01:20:09.300 Bam.

01:20:09.680 And you can study more the Italian mafia if you're interested.

01:20:12.640 Cool.

01:20:13.580 Shout out to Angie for doing that.

01:20:14.660 And yeah, so guys, so let's go ahead and I'm going to show you guys now, okay, what the organization chart looks like.

01:20:22.660 This actually comes from the FBI, okay, directly from their website, as you guys know.

01:20:29.480 The FBI was the main agency that did the La Cosa-Nostra investigations.

01:20:33.700 So let's go ahead real quick with the hierarchy so you guys understand.

01:20:36.520 Yeah, that's the best I could find.

01:20:37.460 Yeah, this is, yeah, the most accurate by far, okay?

01:20:39.560 And you got the five crime families, right?

01:20:41.340 So New York's five families in New York City.

01:20:43.900 But again, this was Lucky Luciano, the Casamillaries War, and Lucky Luciano basically led to the formation of the five families, which is the hierarchy chart that you guys see here now, okay?

01:20:55.120 So New York City, five major Italian-American mafia families dominate organized crime activities.

01:21:00.200 The Bonanno, the Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese crime families.

01:21:05.380 While the mafia, also known as La Cosa Nostra, a.k.a. our thing, may no longer possess the robust national presence and influence it once had, it remains a significant threat in the extended New York metropolitan area, New England, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Detroit.

01:21:18.060 And as you guys know, why did they, you know, have that crazy rise of fame and power?

01:21:22.480 Thanks to Prohibition, okay?

01:21:24.540 So the mafia organization chart is the boss or Don, the undisputed leader of the organization, okay?

01:21:29.600 And every family has a top guy.

01:21:32.380 Under him is a guy called the consigliere, okay?

01:21:35.620 A counselor and advisor to the boss.

01:21:37.380 The consigliere is a trusted friend and confident, usually the number three man in the family, okay?

01:21:42.480 So he's like right across.

01:21:44.720 And then number two, the number two guy in the family is the underboss.

01:21:48.520 A powerful second-in-command, the underboss could be a family member such as a son who is being groomed to one day take over the family business, okay?

01:21:56.760 Then you got the capos.

01:21:58.720 The scribe is a member, a ranking maid member of a family who leads a crew of soldiers. 0.99

01:22:05.020 A capo is similar to a military captain who commands soldiers.

01:22:08.380 So typically this is what you would call a street boss also, okay, capo.

01:22:12.840 And then you got a soldier.

01:22:14.180 Also known as a maid man, soldiers are the lowest members of the cry family but still command respect in the organization.

01:22:19.960 To become maid, soldiers are required to take an oath of silence called omorta.

01:22:24.080 In some families, another requirement is that candidates commit murder, okay?

01:22:29.980 And then an associate, okay, is someone, an individual who is part of a crew but has not been made and commits crimes under the protection slash direction of maid members and remits a share of its illegal proceeds to his direct maid superior, okay?

01:22:44.540 So basically, guys, what is a maid man, all right? 0.60

01:22:47.980 Because for you to be a part of the mafia, you got to be a maid man, okay? 0.99

01:22:51.560 So maid man, guys, is basically someone who is in the mafia officially, okay?

01:23:00.620 He's been basically blessed in through the ritual, okay?

01:23:05.540 And it's called opening the books and bringing in new members in.

01:23:08.360 And they take the oath of allegiance to the mafia, right?

01:23:13.040 And the code of omorta to become a maid guy, all right? 0.53

01:23:16.320 And we're going to go ahead and play this video, all right, from your boy, Michael Francis, who I like his YouTube channel a lot here.

01:23:24.600 So go ahead and subscribe and like.

01:23:26.720 And he describes a Halloween night, 1975, the blood oath, the night I became a maid man.

01:23:32.620 He was a pentito.

01:23:34.060 And he was at the time a capo, or excuse me, this is before he became a capo.

01:23:38.560 So this is when he became a maid guy, all right? 0.68

01:23:41.740 And he's going to describe what the ritual is like.

01:23:45.700 So now I'm getting the feeling, oh, they, okay, this.

01:23:48.800 And yes, guys, I'm in the process right now of working to get him on the Fresh and Fit podcast.

01:23:55.480 All right?

01:23:57.060 So shout out to him.

01:23:58.100 We're going to get him on eventually.

01:23:59.380 We'll make it happen.

01:24:00.480 I really like this guy's content.

01:24:02.980 And he talks about, he gives a lot of stories about being in the mafia.

01:24:06.340 So, yeah.

01:24:07.280 Could be my day.

01:24:08.940 Well, we're hanging around, hanging around.

01:24:10.880 Then it was about, I would say, 11 o'clock at night.

01:24:13.560 Andrew said, let's go.

01:24:15.280 We get in the car.

01:24:16.360 And I drive him to Anthony Colombo had a catering hall.

01:24:21.720 I think it was called the El Doro.

01:24:23.060 And it was in Brooklyn.

01:24:24.460 And he was a member of the Colombo crime family, guys. 0.98

01:24:27.160 And he was probably one of the highest earners for the family ever.

01:24:30.660 Guy was making millions of dollars a week.

01:24:32.560 And we'll talk about Michael Francis in detail when we cover the Colombo crime family.

01:24:36.400 Drive to that catering hall.

01:24:38.620 So, I kind of had a feeling, this is it.

01:24:41.500 And we get there.

01:24:42.680 And there's about five other guys that were also recruits at that time.

01:24:46.180 I knew each one of them.

01:24:47.700 And we realized this was going to be our night.

01:24:50.300 And so, again, that feeling of exhilaration kind of came over me.

01:24:55.180 That special feeling that I got, you know, that I said, hey, this is it for me.

01:24:59.400 Something important in my life.

01:25:00.980 Life-changing experience.

01:25:03.060 And we were kind of waiting outside in a room.

01:25:06.220 And then we got called into the room one by one.

01:25:10.080 The underboss, the consigliere to his left and right.

01:25:13.240 All the cop regimes were alongside of them.

01:25:15.520 We had about 15 in our family at that point.

01:25:19.060 And I walked down the aisle.

01:25:20.940 I stood in front of the boss, held out my hand.

01:25:23.860 He took a knife right here, cut my finger, just light cut, squeezed it.

01:25:28.520 Some blood fell on the floor.

01:25:30.960 He also pricked my finger with a pin just to make sure that, you know, it was going to bleed the right way.

01:25:35.800 So, I kind of got two little, you know, marks at that time.

01:25:39.940 And then he took a saint.

01:25:41.400 He told me to cut my hands.

01:25:42.660 Took a saint.

01:25:43.600 It was a Catholic altar card.

01:25:44.980 Put it on my hands.

01:25:46.220 And Andrew lit it aflame.

01:25:47.580 It didn't hurt.

01:25:48.160 It burned quickly.

01:25:48.900 It was merely symbolic.

01:25:50.480 And he looked at me and he said, tonight, Michael Francis, you are born again into a new life until it goes on Austria.

01:25:57.280 Violate what you know about this life. 1.00

01:25:59.040 Betray your brothers and you will die and burn in hell like the saint is burning in your hands. 1.00

01:26:04.200 He said, do you accept? 1.00

01:26:05.400 And I said, yes, I do.

01:26:07.000 And that's it.

01:26:07.680 That's the oath.

01:26:08.400 It's not a long, drawn-out affair.

01:26:10.460 It's pretty simple, very serious, a very imposing night.

01:26:14.160 There was a dimly lit room.

01:26:15.860 They really wanted you to understand the seriousness of what you were getting involved in.

01:26:20.340 And that was it.

01:26:21.700 That was my turn.

01:26:22.900 I was excused at that point.

01:26:24.460 I went into another room in the catering hall until the other five guys or four guys, whatever, was left.

01:26:32.120 I went in and took their oath.

01:26:34.340 And when we were done, we went into another section of the catering hall.

01:26:38.580 And there was a banquet let out for us, right?

01:26:40.800 That's what all Italians do. 1.00

01:26:42.040 No matter what the occasion is, we go in and eat.

01:26:44.820 And so we're sitting down.

01:26:46.180 You know, the six new-made guys, all of the copper jeans, our underboss, Tom DiBella, the boss, Andrew Russo.

01:26:53.400 And we just start to chatter and talk.

01:26:56.860 And everybody's feeling real good.

01:26:58.920 And I'll never forget, the boss looked at us.

01:27:01.320 And he said, you know, let me give you some of the rules here.

01:27:04.860 He said, any act of violence, any murder, you're going to be straight out.

01:27:08.840 He says, you don't get involved in anything unless it's approved by me.

01:27:12.620 He told us how do we report again to our copper teams.

01:27:16.640 He said, we were new men now.

01:27:18.480 Nobody can ever touch another maid guy. 0.96

01:27:21.160 He went through the whole thing, and he said, listen.

01:27:24.820 You can't touch a maid guy unless the family, the boss, basically gives a green light on a maid guy. 1.00

01:27:31.400 So it needs to go higher up for a maid guy to be murdered. 1.00

01:27:37.100 You know, I'll never forget what happened.

01:27:38.280 A little guy by the name of Joe Vitaco, who was very close to my dad.

01:27:41.720 And you can't kill a boss without going through the commission.

01:27:44.620 And asked for permission.

01:27:45.880 He was a soldier.

01:27:46.820 But he asked for permission to be in that ceremony.

01:27:50.880 Normally, it's only the copper teams, the captains that are allowed.

01:27:53.540 But he asked for special permission because he knew me since I was a kid.

01:27:57.100 And it was real special to him that I was becoming a maid guy.

01:28:00.500 So he walks in the room with a bag of money, an empty bag.

01:28:04.380 And he says, hey, boss, should I give all these new guys that bag of money now?

01:28:08.800 And the irony in that is, is that people think that once you become a member of that life, that they start throwing money at you.

01:28:15.820 That all of a sudden you become wealthy.

01:28:17.700 Not true.

01:28:18.320 It's just the opposite.

01:28:20.180 OK, in that life, you've got to be paying up all the time.

01:28:23.540 You can use that life as an advantage to you if you know how, in order to make your way, maybe make some more money.

01:28:30.500 If you know how to use that life, like I believe I did, to benefit you in business, it can go a long way.

01:28:36.220 But not everybody had that expertise, that talent, that whatever you want to call it.

01:28:40.160 And everybody started laughing.

01:28:43.580 And a boss looked at us and he said, don't expect this life to make money for you.

01:28:48.220 You've got an advantage here.

01:28:49.500 Go out and use it.

01:28:50.460 If you can't use it, that's tough luck.

01:28:52.500 That's on you.

01:28:53.240 We're not throwing money on you.

01:28:54.800 Made it very clear.

01:28:55.880 And I got the message that night.

01:28:57.440 And as a maid guy, guys, your job is to earn money for the family and then that money gets kicked up to the bosses and the higher ups. 0.62

01:29:05.600 So that's your job.

01:29:06.320 And then the more money you earn for the family, that's how you get promoted up to a capo, to an underboss, to a consigliere, whatever it may be.

01:29:14.640 But that's how you rise the ranks is earning money for the family.

01:29:17.700 And guys, remember, they'll have hundreds of guys.

01:29:20.680 But, you know, just like with anything in the world, the Pareto Principle, 20% of the people end up doing 80% of the work most of the time.

01:29:26.800 And in this case, Michael Francis was actually one of the highest earning capos for any mafia family.

01:29:34.860 And we're going to talk about him in more detail when we cover the Colombo crime family.

01:29:39.920 But he had an ingenious scheme with gas tanks and meters and taxes.

01:29:46.140 That was his thing that was unique to him that he earned quite a bit of money.

01:29:50.040 But I don't want to give away too much.

01:29:51.400 Yeah, I don't want to give away too much.

01:29:52.720 But it was this guy, a very sharp guy.

01:29:54.620 We're going to talk about him more when we cover the Colombo crime family.

01:29:59.140 But now you guys see, okay, how sophisticated, how complex, how deep this can get with the Italian mafia.

01:30:07.960 And why I said, if we're going to do this, we need to do it right.

01:30:10.320 We're going to have to do this over multiple episodes so you guys understand what the hell is going on here.

01:30:15.500 All right?

01:30:16.100 We got 1,841 of you guys in here, but we only got 1.2K likes.

01:30:19.060 Do me a favor.

01:30:19.940 Like the video because I'm losing my voice. 0.99

01:30:27.960 All right?

01:30:28.780 So, well, still a little bald.

01:30:30.160 But not as bald as before.

01:30:31.880 We hit some of these chats.

01:30:33.400 Remotely cultured, it goes.

01:30:34.500 Fun fact, most of the drugs that the New York mob had was actually from the Detroit mob.

01:30:39.440 Okay?

01:30:40.100 Michael Mishroke, $1.

01:30:41.200 Appreciate that.

01:31:24.120 Hey, that's what it's about, my friend. 0.97

01:31:25.860 I approved the sound effect, Byron.

01:31:27.760 LMAO, give me my cut.

01:31:29.180 Hey, Mario, I ain't giving you nothing.

01:31:30.960 All right?

01:31:32.380 Mr. Bickshaw, any police officers, high-value men?

01:31:39.460 All right.

01:31:41.080 Yeah, if you earn quite a bit of money and you got respect in your career field and you're a top-tier officer, then, yeah, could be.

01:31:47.040 Myron, Wednesday, Ryan Dawson interview.

01:31:49.320 Coming soon.

01:31:49.920 I just need to plan a date of when we're going to do it and how we're going to do it and what topic we're going to cover.

01:31:54.200 Because I know he already done a 9-11 thing with Sneeko, and we're talking about doing the Iraqi war. 0.94

01:32:01.160 But I just got to figure that out and iron it out with him.

01:32:03.060 But we definitely are, because he has quite a bit of information on them boys, if you know what I'm saying.

01:32:08.140 But that definitely ain't going to be on YouTube.

01:32:09.820 Mike Ward, 20 bucks.

01:32:10.660 Appreciate that.

01:32:11.640 Steady T.

01:32:12.060 Mackin goes, could you break down Kanika Jenkins' case?

01:32:14.380 Grove found dead in Freezer after partying with friends in Crown Plaza Hotel.

01:32:17.720 Was ruled a suicide.

01:32:18.620 You have Freezer only locked from the outside.

01:32:20.440 Friends lied, too.

01:32:21.940 Okay.

01:32:23.120 Can you write that down, Angie?

01:32:24.480 Guys, again, leave your request in the comment section.

01:32:27.920 Yeah, yeah.

01:32:28.300 Please.

01:32:28.820 But he said the chat.

01:32:29.940 So write it down.

01:32:30.300 No, but I can't.

01:32:30.820 I'll write it down.

01:32:31.760 It's okay.

01:32:32.560 But yeah, leave in the comments.

01:32:33.760 Leave cases in the comment section, too.

01:32:36.880 But we'll write that one down.

01:32:37.740 We got you.

01:32:38.660 So I saw three.

01:32:40.820 This in a chat.

01:32:41.560 I was actually interested.

01:32:42.860 But can you cover the case of Junko Furuto?

01:32:45.440 Love the concept, brother.

01:32:46.260 Keep it the good work.

01:32:46.800 That's the video that we saw, remember?

01:32:48.940 Which one?

01:32:50.780 I think it was Japanese. 0.98

01:32:52.060 The Japanese girl that got raped by 100 people. 0.98

01:32:55.240 Oh, okay. 0.97

01:32:57.240 Oh, my God.

01:32:57.920 That was terrible.

01:32:59.040 That was horrible.

01:32:59.860 That was really bad.

01:33:02.120 Smash the like button, ninjas.

01:33:03.880 Okay.

01:33:04.880 AC Slater put a hit on that like button, boys.

01:33:07.280 Got you.

01:33:08.080 Toxically masculine. 0.74

01:33:09.300 When you say them boys, what is the reference to?

01:33:11.120 Dudes with Mad Moolah?

01:33:12.980 I guess you'll have to figure that one out, my friend.

01:33:15.160 Black Wolf Inc.

01:33:15.740 Welcome as a member.

01:33:17.140 Michael Mishrog, a dollar again.

01:33:18.500 Fresh as dog.

01:33:19.400 These names sounding like Olive Garden's secret menu.

01:33:22.060 Yeah.

01:33:24.020 Like, seriously, no.

01:33:28.480 We've watched like a lot of videos on Italian mafia and stuff.

01:33:32.940 And I'll be like, Myron, I can't watch anymore because these names got me so confused.

01:33:38.500 You know, there are so many names.

01:33:40.140 There are so many names.

01:33:41.680 Weird pronunciations as well.

01:33:43.120 Yes.

01:33:43.700 But the fact that he said it sounds like Olive Garden's secret menu is hilarious.

01:33:48.280 Slippery Beats, 10 bucks.

01:33:49.180 Yo, you got to bring Tommy Sinatra back on the show.

01:33:51.000 Bring Darius M2.

01:33:55.640 I don't know, man.

01:33:56.480 Whenever he wants to come.

01:33:57.880 We invited him.

01:33:58.960 Doors open.

01:33:59.540 So Steph is always welcome.

01:34:01.480 And then we got here.

01:34:02.440 Black Wolf Inc.

01:34:03.080 I was married for a future episode.

01:34:04.340 Can you talk about Crazy Eddie?

01:34:05.540 He ran a multi-chain business in New York that was all an organized scam.

01:34:10.360 Crazy Eddie.

01:34:10.980 All right.

01:34:12.700 Remember, guys, leave comments below in case that you guys want.

01:34:15.440 Angie will go through it.

01:34:16.220 But since you guys super chatted these ones in, Angie will write them down here.

01:34:20.820 And then what else here?

01:34:22.580 So, yeah, guys.

01:34:23.960 So, quick little summary of today's show.

01:34:26.160 We went over the Sicilian Mafia, right?

01:34:29.380 Which went ahead and created the foundation for the Italian American Italian Mafia to come 0.97

01:34:35.220 into the United States and flourish.

01:34:37.080 All right.

01:34:37.300 We talked about the Casta Marie's War.

01:34:39.380 Which led to Lucky Luciano basically becoming the boss of all bosses.

01:34:44.720 He quickly relinquishes that title, unlike his former Maranzano.

01:34:49.500 And that creates the formation of the commission, right?

01:34:53.080 Which, basically, it's an alliance of the five crime families as well as the other crime

01:34:58.120 families from other areas to basically have a big board, right?

01:35:02.380 To make decisions and squash out beefs, et cetera, so that all the families can earn and

01:35:08.040 make money.

01:35:08.440 We defined some of the terms, what being a maid guy is, what the ceremony is like, what

01:35:13.340 omerta means, which is the code of silence, holocosa nostra, our thing, what an associate

01:35:19.020 is.

01:35:19.360 It's not a maid guy, but someone that helps out with the Mafia and committing criminal

01:35:22.880 activity.

01:35:23.760 And then we talked about the books, which means basically opening the books up and bringing

01:35:28.320 guys on as maid guys. 0.75

01:35:29.420 And yeah, so we basically covered all, you know, what I would call, we covered the hierarchy,

01:35:36.880 right?

01:35:37.360 What a boss is, a consigliere, an underboss, a capo, a soldier, et cetera.

01:35:42.900 So yeah, man, we pretty much covered everything when it comes to the origins of the Italian

01:35:49.300 mafia.

01:35:50.480 All right.

01:35:50.680 So let's see here if we got any last questions before we close this bad boy out.

01:35:54.700 Five super chats more.

01:35:56.240 We have more?

01:35:57.080 Yeah, five more.

01:35:57.960 Five more?

01:35:58.360 Okay.

01:35:58.600 Let me catch these that came through.

01:36:00.900 Just became authorized now with a 767 credit score. 1.00

01:36:03.540 Good shit, my friend. 0.99

01:36:05.120 We got here. 0.99

01:36:07.860 My Taz, Noah, I'm going to do an interview with Michael Francis.

01:36:10.340 Comment, guys.

01:36:10.880 I'm working on it right now as we speak.

01:36:12.440 Break the like buttons, kneecaps.

01:36:13.840 Yes.

01:36:14.560 Break the like buttons, kneecaps, guys.

01:36:16.340 Give us some cement shoes because we did a lot of studying on this topic for y'all. 0.99

01:36:22.080 So like the goddamn video. 0.99

01:36:23.240 I only see 1.3k likes. 0.99

01:36:24.660 We should be at 1.8k likes, goddammit, because I worked really hard to put this all together

01:36:28.900 for y'all.

01:36:29.640 You know, making sure that we get the right videos, fact checking stuff.

01:36:31.860 So Jorge Diaz goes, man, I'm a professional translator.

01:36:34.960 I'd love to translate your book if you don't have someone doing it already.

01:36:38.740 Don't worry.

01:36:39.460 Angie's on it.

01:36:40.180 She's going to be translating it.

01:36:40.760 Yeah, I'm translating it.

01:36:42.420 But if you speak another language, let me know.

01:36:45.800 Should we maybe in Italian?

01:36:48.600 When do you drop episodes on Spotify?

01:36:51.160 I do.

01:36:51.580 I drop episodes on Spotify all the time.

01:36:53.260 Mo handles Fetit on Spotify, guys, which it's Fetit 1811 on Spotify. 0.99

01:36:59.040 Oh, shit. 0.97

01:36:59.840 Sorry. 0.99

01:36:59.940 And then we keep clicking on it at the same time.

01:37:03.220 SEO goes, salute to Myron and Angie.

01:37:05.360 I've been watching Trap Law Ross vid on King Von.

01:37:07.920 Was he a serial killer?

01:37:09.340 Yes, according to FBI definition.

01:37:11.380 And I think Trap Law Ross does make a strong case for King Von being a serial killer.

01:37:16.980 I think he does make a strong case for it.

01:37:18.680 Shout out to Trap Law Ross. 0.59

01:37:19.620 That was a fantastic documentary he did.

01:37:21.060 Should I go with a 700 plus credit score credit card or discover it SEC?

01:37:25.820 If you got a 700 plus credit score, then should I go with this?

01:37:32.820 Yeah, you could go ahead and get a good credit card.

01:37:34.740 You don't need a secured credit card.

01:37:36.940 Do a Fetit with the Albanian mob next. 1.00

01:37:38.520 First, we will do, I'll do, I'll do, I still got to cover the Russian mob in the triads, bro. 0.98

01:37:44.200 I'll be, yeah, I got to cover that.

01:37:47.440 Do a video with the modern day mafia.

01:37:50.140 At the end, we'll cover that modern day mafia.

01:37:52.260 But first, we got to cover all the families historically.

01:37:55.200 Yeah, that'd be it.

01:37:56.820 Yeah.

01:37:57.040 Yeah, guys, we'll be dropping, what, the mafia episodes on Thursday, right?

01:38:01.920 Yes. 0.86

01:38:02.540 From now on, so we won't be, like, caught up with the copyright and shit. 0.87

01:38:08.460 Because we will be watching these documentaries and, like, quite strong for YouTube.

01:38:12.760 And, yeah, like I said, I said I made a live on Friday, I think, with Cena.

01:38:18.820 And I said, some of you guys asked me about this, and I said that we'll be covering just regular content for Fetty on Sunday.

01:38:27.240 So, yeah, stay tuned.

01:38:29.340 Mamma Mia! 0.87

01:38:30.460 Got you, man.

01:38:31.700 So, guys, hope you guys enjoyed that one.

01:38:33.560 Like the video, man.

01:38:34.280 Share this with a friend.

01:38:35.060 Timestamps are going to do them here in a little bit for y'all.

01:38:37.800 We'll probably record.

01:38:39.680 You know what?

01:38:40.480 Let's take a vote.

01:38:41.640 What crime family do y'all want us to cover first?

01:38:45.220 Let's see what the chat says.

01:38:46.300 Maybe I'll do a poll here.

01:38:47.260 Let me, you know what, let me do a poll.

01:38:49.360 But what, like after this?

01:38:51.360 Like for Thursday?

01:38:53.180 Yeah, for Thursday.

01:38:54.260 But I want to see what family they want us to cover next year.

01:38:59.960 So, I'm going to go ahead and do a poll, all right?

01:39:03.760 Which family do you guys want?

01:39:10.680 All right.

01:39:11.820 So, we're going to go...

01:39:14.260 Vino...

01:39:17.260 No, no.

01:39:20.340 I probably might spell some of these wrong, guys, okay?

01:39:22.980 So, don't get mad.

01:39:24.540 Okay.

01:39:25.620 Lucchese.

01:39:27.980 All right.

01:39:30.620 Genovese. 1.00

01:39:33.680 Damn. 1.00

01:39:34.160 They only let me put four. 1.00

01:39:36.160 Lame. 0.99

01:39:36.400 That sucks. 1.00

01:39:38.040 Well, that's okay. 0.97

01:39:38.740 You can leave the last one for last.

01:39:40.480 For last, yeah.

01:39:41.340 Yeah, and then if it's none of these four, let me know.

01:39:44.860 But hold on one second.

01:39:47.100 All right.

01:39:48.940 So, because we got...

01:39:50.000 Excuse me, guys. 0.97

01:39:52.320 My voice sucks. 0.96

01:39:53.060 There you go. 1.00

01:43:47.620 That means a lot.

01:43:49.020 Like I said, guys, this channel isn't necessarily about making money.

01:43:57.260 Marin, our voice goes, Marin, what do you think about what's going on in Sudan right now?

01:44:02.540 It's wild.

01:44:03.700 The two armed factions fighting right now, there's basically like a little, like a civil war almost going on over there.

01:44:10.300 So, yeah, it's wild, man. 0.99

01:44:12.420 It always sucks. 0.98

01:44:13.280 But, you know, this is not new for Sudan. 0.95

01:44:14.800 This has been, you know, if you guys remember, Sudan used to be one country and then there was a war, a civil war there.

01:44:20.800 And it split into North and South Sudan.

01:44:22.540 Sudan used to be the biggest country in Africa, but now it's not because of that war.

01:44:26.140 So, you know, it's a war-torn country.

01:44:28.660 It's kind of how it is, unfortunately.
