I got your back There's no problems at all, but I know these people and I brought them over and I sponsor I bring these people to meet my family I bring these people to my son's fights I brought 500 people to my son's fight in Florida when he fought Floyd Mayweather 60 were convicts 60 of them were convicts at the time either my father or I Three of them were marrying my dad and you want to know what?
You can't hide in prison. If you want to see someone's flaws, you want to see their character, you want to see if they're real men or not, you can't hide in prison because I'm with you 24-7. I can see everything about you. I can tell you when you brush your teeth. I can tell you when you wash your ass. You can't hide in prison. In the streets, you can hide. You can hide. You see me
Four times a week for two hours each time or an hour, and you say the right things. You comport yourself. You open the umbrella when you have to open the umbrella. You open the door when you have to open the door. You walk like a gentleman. You talk like a gentleman. You know exactly when you should speak, okay?
When the boss walks in the room, when the chief walks in the room in his presence, you know when you're supposed to speak and when you're not supposed to speak. Sammy knew those things. You see him in the pictures holding the umbrella for my father. You see him. You see him opening the door. You see him.
You see him pushing John Miller and the reporters back out of the way when John is walking down the street. You see him. He did his job. Did a pretty good job. Okay? But again, it goes back to come full circle with what John said. You can't put a guy in that position unless you know if he's capable of doing time.
My father used to say this, and he said this in Marion, Illinois, and he was a hypocrite in this respect. He said, John, looking back, to be a street guy and to live this life the right way, you should never get married, you should never have kids. Never get married, never have kids. You have to devote yourself to this.
And every guy would have to qualify, should do one year in Marion, Illinois, in a lockdown, maximum level six prison. This is the worst of the worst. Show me you could do this. You could do anything. Okay? Now I know you ain't going to flip. You ain't going to turn on your brotherhood. You ain't going to turn. You're going to be a man because your honor is going to keep you intact.
Sandy wasn't capable of doing any of that. He fell apart the moment he went to jail. I mean, we've interviewed a guy who's the leader of the Ghost Shadows, a kid named Brian. The Ghost Shadows was a Chinatown gang. And he ended up somehow locked with Sammy. And he was sending messages and kites back to us. This guy's not comporting himself right. He's not doing time right.
And my father began to have reservations about the choice that he made. And then shortly thereafter, several months later, sure enough, in the middle of the night, they walked him out and we found out the next day. And my father was dead. That was him sitting there In the visiting room and questioning what he did. He didn't put the blame on anybody else. He put the blame on himself.
Because he made up until that point, he made all the right calls. I believe he did. I mean, as now an outsider looking in, I believe John made the right calls. I did. I think he put the right people in place. He had a tremendous amount of loyalty. Take into consideration the impact of Sammy Gravano flipping. He's the guy who... Supposedly the top, right? The boss is here. He knows all the secrets.
Certainly was a greedy guy. He knew all the money was. That's for damn sure, okay? Now, as a result of Sammy flipping, minimum 57 guys get indicted. 57 guys, many of them high level, okay? Due to his cooperation. He's a tremendous asset for the government, but he is a tsunami to the streets. There's an enormous panic going on now. People are running and hiding and whispering now, okay?
And yet, we had one, that time, all those cases, that barrel of cases that came our way, there was one rat. Sammy Gravano. Wasn't anybody else. You know how many guys got life without parole? You know how many guys got 50-year bids? My Uncle Gene just came home. They're 29 straight years. You know how many guys are just coming home now? They're just now coming out old men.
They're drifting out of prison. That was all the guys that were around John Gotti, that grew up around John Gotti. The Bergen Hunting Fish Club crew around John Gotti. The guys East New York around John Gotti. The Fatico boys, okay, around John Gotti. All those guys that grew up with John, okay? You had a confidential informant named Willie Boy Johnson, and you had, that was it.
That's all you had. And even he did better time than Gravano. When it came time to testify, they put him 22 months in solitary confinement, refused to flip. stood up, went to trial, and they won the trial. Ultimately, in the end, he was killed. But the point I'm trying to make is that up until that point, when John became that person, not that low, he became that guy, that administrator, okay?
I believe, for the most part, He made the right decisions. Now as an observer on the outside looking in, looking back, fancying myself a historian and replaying the whole scenario in my head. And now as an older, wiser head. Looking, not a young warrior that's full of testosterone, that's ready to jump into the battle.
Now as an older guy with lower testosterone that would probably make a better general today than he was then. That's me today. And now observing and replaying John's moves, my father's moves. And other than him being a degenerate gambler and the Gravano decision that he made.
I don't know of many things that you could have redone differently because John did it from the perspective of how he was raised and taught by his elders, the way they taught him. And I think for the most part, those guys did hard time, did it all. Now, was he right? Going to Ravenite and the clubs and all that? No, I don't agree with that. But he wasn't going to back down. That was the problem.
It's like a fight that's tailor-made. Mike Tyson's a knockout puncher. And you're not going to put, say, in my time, a little older than you are, a Jerry Quarry-esque fighter who didn't know how to do anything else. A tough guy that's going to come forward and you've got to knock him out. And John was one of those guys who's going to come forward. He's not going to dodge and duck.
He doesn't know how to. He didn't have that kind of finesse. He was what he was, and he wasn't going to hide it. So he was tailor-made to be knocked out by the government.
I don't know. Again, that's above my pay grade, okay? I do know this much. Sammy's interpretation of those events differ from the reality of what took place there. OK. And at a later date, I have we put together a compilation. We put together pieces together, including visits between my father and I. It's not quite what Sammy says.
