John Gotti Jr

Look, I could tell you it was far more difficult back in John's time to be a street guy than it is today. Today it ain't quite the same. It's just not. You're not living the life the way John lived it, to be perfectly frank.

And again, I'm 26 years removed. So I, you know, there's still somewhat of a fascination even for me. Um, There's a lot of endearing individuals that I knew that called uncle, still call him today. I did time with a lot of these gentlemen as well. They're special people.

They're special guys that they could have been successful in a whole host of things in their lives if they really chose to be, especially John, especially my father. Again, that wasn't an exaggeration. That was an accurate statement that he had a 140 IQ. That's wild. He could have done anything he wanted in his life. He'll tell you. He says it. He says it on Wiretap. He says it.

He says it in Marion, Illinois, visits between he and I. He says, John, there weren't many doors open to me. The only door was open was the one I went through, which brought me to where I am today. And I would look at him and, you know, because he's my father, and I would always be respectful and say, I know, Dad, I understand. But that's not what I thought in my mind. I would say that's not true.

It's not true. Yes, it was. And yes, I guess back then and the glamour and everything else that goes with it. And again, maybe most kids growing up, their idol was Mickey Mantle. My father's idol was Albert Anastasia. Okay. But the point is that you possess the intelligence. Now, you didn't possess the opportunity like I did.

My father struggled and he moved the money, but he made sure that he put me in military school. He gave me the same education Donald Trump's father gave him. So there's no excuse. I have no excuse. He wanted you to get out. He didn't want you to pursue the life that he had. My father wanted me to go to military school and do something spectacular with my life.

And I wanted not quite what my father wanted. I wanted to go on to an ROTC oriented college and pursue a career in the military. That's what I wanted. And it took a wrong turn at some point, and I ended up where I was. Now, if you ask me, well, John, if your next question is, do you have any regrets? We all do at some point if we live long enough. If we're old enough, we have regrets.

But I don't regret being around my father. I don't. I cherish those moments. Look, I'm sorry, but do I miss that life? No. Nope. Do I miss John Gotti? You bet. He was something special to be around. That was it. I can't even, it's unfair to me to describe it to you because everybody's going to watch and say, well, that's your father, that's your father, that's your father. It's not right.

Because I'm doing a show, I'm working on a show right now, and I'm interviewing people that were labeled by the government as shot callers. In Marion, Illinois and other institutions that did time with John Gotti. And I'll let them tell you what kind of a man he was. Okay? He was the complete package. Listen, I have two idols in my life. Two. Only two. John Gotti. Nelson Mandela. That's it.

That's where it ends. Nobody else impressed me. I'm not impressed. You can't impress me too easily. They impressed me. They impressed me. And for me to have my father, not only because he's my father, but to be my idol, tells you what a special man he was. But for that life, and my view should be the best view, and I'm going to tell you why. I'm not hardcore.
