Be a stand-up guy and go to jail by yourself and belong to nobody. Go to a penitentiary or go to a disciplinary four or some of those joints and be on your own. Get my respect. Then be a man. I fought the United States government without the entity the government calls the Gambino crime family behind me or without belonging to the government. I fought them alone.

I fought the United States government without the entity the government calls the Gambino crime family behind me or without belonging to the government. I fought them alone.
My wife, my children, and my dear brothers that loved me. With no money at the end, no money, I hocked diamond watches to fight the government, and I fought them, and I beat them, and I'm home, and I retired a lot of their cooperators, and a lot of men are coming home now because of me. Okay, because of me. And to answer your question, does that bother me? It certainly does. You have no right.

Okay, because of me. And to answer your question, does that bother me? It certainly does. You have no right.
But it doesn't bother me nearly as much, because the people that matter, know who I am, is nearly as much as Gravano taking my father's valor. Like I said, that life to me, I'm 26 years removed. I'm not impressed anymore. I'm not impressed by them. You want to impress me, stand on your own two goddamn feet. John Gotti fought the government, but he had an army behind him.

He certainly had a loyal son in his corner. He had an army behind him. And he was a folk hero throughout. I fought the United States government with limited reserves, no army behind me. I went to prison by myself. I did my time. I didn't walk around and say, hey, you know, I'm John Gotti. I got the whole Gambino family behind. I did it my own time. I did my bid. I did my bid. Okay? I did my time.

So to answer your question, that angers me to have someone like a Gravano, that you went, took the punk way out, went to a punk prison, went to a punk unit in ADX Colorado. ADX Colorado is a serious place. It took over for Marion. Serious place, but he didn't do serious time. He went into a rat unit and did time with rats. That's what he did. Fellow rats.

He wasn't with any men there because he wouldn't have made the bid. They would have ate him up.

No, he said one million for me and 500,000 for Gravano.
No, he said one million for me and 500,000 for Gravano.
I was about to go to trial. I had co-defendants. We were going to trial, going to war against the government. That was part of the tactic that I employed, to meet with them to establish a foundation with me going on the stand and testifying. Me. They accused me of being the shot caller. I was the head of the indictment. I was the head of the indictment. I was the father.

According to them, I was the father. This was the family, and I was the father of that family. I didn't send a sacrificial lamb to go along there. I didn't tell someone. I was going to go on that stand myself. And believe me, it would have been a war. I would have been sparring with the best. The U.S. attorneys would have been coming out with everything. And look, it would have gotten to a point.

Charlie, can you see X that question? You're going to be asked some sensitive questions about sensitive people. And I'm going to say, I don't have a rat deal here. I don't have one of those 5K1 letters. See, all these rats have what's called the most magic get-out-of-jail-free tickets. It's called a 5K1 letter. A 5K1 letter means you're a rat.
