Have they toppled governments? Absolutely. Have they killed heads of state?
I beat them. Five trials in 37 months. Five federal indictments, 37 months. I'm here talking to you. I'm not bitter. I'm excited. Christmas is coming. I'm going to be with my grandkids. I'm going to be with my family. I'm excited. I feel bad for my brothers that I left behind in prison. But I am the happiest guy you're ever going to meet. I'm thrilled to be here. I'm not bitter.
But when you've got to view all this nonsense over and over again, and the lie after lie, and the fact that they've given absolution to 110 murders to over 100 individuals, And you can watch someone like Sammy Gravano that can sit there, who took the coward's way out. A coward. He is a coward. Let's make no mistake about that, okay? He didn't do his time. He went in a witness protection program.
He went into witness units, comfy, cushy units. If he wasn't at a safe house in Quantico, Virginia, then he was in a comfortable witness unit. Even his last bit, he talks about how he got a... a badge of honor from the Aryan Brotherhood, a clover on his arm. He was in a rat unit in ADX Colorado with other rats. So he took the easy way out. He doesn't have the right... Just go do your time.
You did your time. You got away with whatever you got away with. You got caught selling drugs to kids. You were released again from prison. Go on with your life. Tell your stories, even if half of them are fabricated. Go tell your stories. Don't you tell that my father, or John was going to sell me out first. Listen to me. There's not a rat that would tell you that. There's not a stand-up guy.
You won't find a guy like John Gotti. John Gotti, as we say in the streets and in prison, he walked it all the way to the gate. He never won time. He could have been released from Marion, Illinois anytime he wanted to. All he had to do was sign a document. Everybody else that went there signed that document.
There was a document that you're agreeing, you're no longer the person that you were, and you're agreeing to what's called a step-down program. So when you get there, you have to be in Marion for a total of 18 months usually, and then you can leave Marion, Illinois and go to a regular penitentiary, a level five facility. Marion was the only level six in the country at that time.
My father refused to sign that paper. So he stood for 10 years in solitary confinement. Everybody else signed it. Anybody who went through Mary, Illinois signed that document, basically stating, I'm no longer the person I am. Here I am. I'm going to sign. I'm going to go to Unicor. I'm going to work. I'm going to be a good boy.
And you could bring me to a regular prison because I'm going to be a good guy, okay? And I'm not saying that I begrudge them for taking that position because maybe I would have signed it too, probably. You're not ratting anybody out. You're just basically saying, I'm no longer that guy anymore. Yeah, I'm no longer that guy anymore. I'm not a threat to you. No problem.
My father's ego and his pride would not let him sign that paper. He should tell them, shove it up your ass. Shove it up your ass. And that's why he spent 10 years in Marion, Illinois. He could have been out 10 years prior to that. He could have been out 18 months. He could have been on 18 months.
I know this because I handled the attorneys. And the attorney I hired for my father to try to get him out of Marion was Linda Sheffield. She was great with, you know, BOP, you know, post-conviction issues. I hired her. And she came and said, look... She showed me. I said, well, there's nothing wrong with this paper. This is basically saying that I do this every day. Would you say I was?
No, I'm no longer that guy. You got it. You're right. She says, well, I'm bringing this to your father. Bring it to my father. Tell him. This is how we can get him out of there. And he told her, you go back and tell my son, if he ever sends something like this again, he can never come up and busy me again. Oh, wow. And that was the end of it. He never signed the paper.
He wouldn't conform to their program. He wouldn't go along with what they wanted to say. Okay, I'm no longer John Gotti anymore. He was going to die, John Gotti. The way he lived is the way he was going to die. And I've interviewed people for projects I'm working on, which we're going to be coming out shortly with. People that were in marrying with my dad. Shot callers for Lame, Mexican Mafia.
Shot callers for the Aryan Brotherhood. Shot callers for the Latin Kings. Interviewed them all. And what they had to say of what it was like to be around this man, the aura that he had. The shot caller's name was Black Bob for the Mexican Mafia. He used to refer to my father.
Black Bob. Black Bob. For the Mexican, for the Lame. He used to refer. Martin King, guys, keep an eye on the general. He's the colonel. Generali. Generali. He's like this with his fingers. Generali. And the stories you heard about how they received and accepted and loved and adored my father, this is how you do in time. He taught people how to do time.
He taught people how to be a man, how to comport yourself like a man, okay? He did. And then you got someone like Sammy Gravano, who took the shortcut, abandoned his wife and kids, left them in the streets, knowing that people were going to kill his family, wanted to kill his family, left them like a dog that he was, went into WITSEC units, cared only about himself.
And you want to sit there now and you want to bash someone like my father? You want to sit there and try to damage his character? Shame on him. Shame on him and shame on the government that released him. Because they knew exactly what he was going to do. I have his psychological report right here. I have Sammy Gravano's report. You know what the report says?
The report says that, A, he's got selfish... His tendencies lean towards his selfishness, his self-preservation. And it goes on to say, if released from prison, he is a tremendous... aspect in his qualities of life that he would certainly avert back to, and I'm trying to piece together word for word, his criminal ways, including violence.
And yet, two different psychologists, two different government psychologists had issued these reports. And both were right. And the government still released him and made him somebody else's neighbor. They didn't make them their neighbor. The FBI agents didn't put him next door to their house. They put him next door to somebody else's house. And what did he did once he went to Colorado?
What did he do? Well, he was in a relationship. I guess it was an abusive relationship. Something happened there. He signed himself out of the program and found his way back to Phoenix, Arizona, where he became a narcotics pusher to kids, okay, and tried to recruit other individuals. And the government, the FBI, knew a lot of what was going on here.
