I clicked on (paused at 0.05 in) this 4:57 long clip of a vid to just say No. The title is misleading and we don't have any proof that Joe did in fact arrange something with the mob. And if he did, then only he and possibly Bobby knew about it. I don't think he ever would admit something like that to JFK, he knows JFK was going into a political career mainly due to his older brother's memory and intentions, out of respect and Joe pushing it as his "duty" to do it. Joe wouldn't want John to have that "defeated" feeling and "burden" on his shoulders starting out. JFK was much more honest than Bobby, and Bkbby contributed to many deaths...including his brother's.
The gangsters of that era kept it quiet. Nowadays they all become rappers and show off on FB and IG
That's because they aren't gangsters.
Lol, the gansters are the guys who own the rappers with 360 deals...
No one from rap music is a real gangster . Street gangsters are not even real gangsters , organised criminals are real gangsters.
Rappers are not gangsters they are nickel and dime drug dealer rappers , that's all they are
V K So what do you call it when the mafia gangsters wear their flashy suite and who do you think inspired all the vacation homes as flashy jewelry and cars . Is that not showing off ?
I just recently discovered this channel and it is quickly becoming my favorite.
i was in grade school the day JFK was killed, they sent us home early before lunch. everybody's mom was at the gate to pick up there kids when we got home our house was full of people that lived on our street watching the black and white TV, i looked at my dad who was a tough SOB and he was crying the ONLY time i ever seen my father cry
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Darius Collin Instablaster ;)
The motorcade route worked against JFK.
tough sob? sounds like a punk a sucker and a sissy all rolled into one.
You just called your own grandma a B***H. I would never....
Gianni Russo and Michael franzese the best interviews ever
👍💯👏👏👏🇮🇹♥️🐎 4:22
Yeah but different reasons foe both
Gianni was the centurian who speared Christ on the cross! Honest.
Mary Magdalene gave him a massage and a happy ending after he’d sung for Caesar!!!😂🙏🏻
"Speared Him"??? He told me that he looked our Lord dead in the eyes and said, "I don't care _Who_ Your Father is, when I tell You, You go and You get Your shinebox!"
Poor John F. Kennedy. I was a little girl, when that happened. And according to my parents and family, it was the saddest day of the year. RIP JOHN. Thank you, for sharing this documentary.
Don't be too sentimental about JFK. The Kennedys were mobbed up. If what this guy says is true, the mob turned on them when RFK became attorney general, and started going after the mob, who had helped JFK politically. They were double crossed.
@@clark9992 well Clark999 thank you very much, because I've always said the same thing. and is true you are right. I'm glad someone at least agrees with my theory. God bless you.
WEll according to Russo he ordered the hit on Monroe.
JFK was not the guy history would like us to remember him as --- no he didnt deserve to get his head blown off --- saying that --- he was a degenerate womanizer -- broke many marriages --- escalated operations (secret ones) in indo-china to stoke the fires of war --- had the mob stuff the box in 1960 election -- his whole family fortune is built on running booze with the mob --- 20th century "Delano Roosevelt" new democrats --- the rumor was what got him axed was him sleeping with LBJ's one and only mistress Madeline Brown
OSWALD Didn't do it, they used him. He was what they call the fall man.
Also known as Patsy
Isn't that wild?
What if Oswald worked on operation mongoose....
And he killed Kennedy as revenge for ending the operation.
That way oswald could have acted alone, but the CIA would still have a motive to cover some stuff up.
Since it’s kinda their fault since they trained Oswald if he was part on mongoose.
I agree. Then Jack Ruby walked in the Dallas police station and shot Oswald. Ruby was a mob giuy. Old school Mafia hit, Kill the guy before he talks.
@@jimmy2k4o Oswald had nothing to do with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. on the contrary they used him, and that's why when the police were brought him out, Jack R. killed him. because he knew it all, and also he didn't care to go to prison, because he was very very ill.
This guy has more stories than the bible
I still think he is FOS
@@zimecka72 Yeah I think pretty much everybody thinks that now, lol
More Mafia videos Patrick, please!
This was stuff my American History class/teacher taught us
Sure
You’re lucky
Who was your teacher? My 7th grade history teacher taught us all about this stuff too!
The only thing that stuck from American history in high school is that Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin.
"Yeah, I walked in to the hospital and threw the magic bullet on the gurney then hacked up the brain so nobody could tell where the bullet came from and banged Jacqueline outside the ER on the way out! It's crazy!"
---Gianni Russo
Isn't that insane
@gile 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, to listen to Gianni Russo, he did everything but sign the Declaration of Independence.
Not true, he only squeezed her ass
@@84saints Lol!
The magic flying bullet is more believable
HELLO CARLO
Oswald was just like he claimed, a Patsy.
Exactly
Yes, he was a 'patsy'
In 1963 Nov 22 , he was 19 years old , he was going to be 20 in December.
I believed none of this story except the part about him liking pasta
It's well known LBJ agreed to be VP because his staff calculated that he still had a decent (about 20-5 percent) chance of becoming president automatically ( Seven of the 34 presidents were veeps who ascended to the position because their predecessor was killed or died in office --Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson, Arthur, T.R., Coolidge and Truman. But Russo is saying that LBJ knew his odds were better. This is the first time I have heard anyone contend there were plans to kill JFK in the summer of '60, even before he was elected. Anyone want to substantiate this, or is Carlo ahead of his skis?
Amazing!!!
@ArgoLupus ▪︎ I'm a bit confused. Didn't Gianni also state that JFK was assassinated bc JFK reneged on his promise to remove Castro from power and return the Cuban casinos to the mob? Obviously this maneuver had to occur after JFK became president and after LBJ agreed to become and then became VP. Is Gianni saying the assassination was planned b4 JFK even became president if Johnson was promised the presidentcy.
Patrick sits and talks with Made guys, killers and all sorts without a fear in the world. Why? Because he ain’t scared of death.. he would have seen plenty growing up in Iran. Respect
His family had money.
Russo's a hipster dufus. Franzese is okay but this guy is talking nonsense.
Gianni Russo is a real life Forrest Gump.
4:20 Connelly conspired in the JFK assassination:::: Because, as soon as he felt the ricochet-bullet he made an inadvertent utterance::::"...My God, it looks like we're all gonna die..." which means that Connelly had been promised that ONLY JFK would take the hits!!!!
Seriously? If you knew that bullets were going to be flying at Kennedy would you be sitting anywhere near him? Connally was an honorable man, unlike LBJ who was sitting in the next car.
Gianni Russo seems to have a wild fantasy. Always involved in historical Mob related stuff in some way, to some extent. Good storyteller though:)
I think he’s in a dream world, the real book on JFK is Double Cross.
Sanne de la Hay I am a man of 75 years old I’ve watched the Kennedy assassination from day one I was in the arm forces they serve my time I love my country.
I find this gentleman truly amazing and his record of the assassination it appears as though he is spot on About what he says I have read most of the Kennedy books I know a great deal about John Kennedy‘s father from recalling the days of prohibition
And it is truly amazing as I listen. I was raised and then an Italian family although I was that Irishman and it is truly trulyJust incredible I examined every sentence this gentleman’s book I watched him in the godfather and it’s unbelievable how accurate is
Harry McGuire Read Double Cross about Sam Giancana and you’ll see the truth about Kennedy. As close as you can see it. Nobody knows exactly every detail but it was a coup.
I think he's telling the truth
The numbers just don’t add up. He talks about being in a mob resort he must have been about 15 at that time. More of that stuff. He might have heard some stories and read some books himself. Just seems odd
Where’s the vault link?
could be, but russo is also the guy that says hoffa is in a crucsed car block in someone living room,
Roselli, Giancana, Nikoletti. 3 names that have been brought up so many times in the JFK story. Oswald was nothing compared to these guys.
LBJ was probably behind it.
Him and big oil
BRIAN KELLEY lbj was not behind it the kennedys where corrupt people who bought thier way in to politics. Yes LBJ Hated them cause he was a hard working guy who came from poverty all the way to the top a true American dream type dude only to find out this family bought thier way through everything and never had to work a day in thier life.
@@daryllndemmayah4874 And So that means that he had too Die? Because of that.
He definitely was. Google JFK the wink. You'll see lbj friend give him a shady wink after he swore in presidency! Pretty much sealing the deal as if saying ," wegoy him"
@@daryllndemmayah4874 I appreciate what you shared. I have researched the JFK assassination a lot. LBJ was losing the Senate race in Texas and there was a scandal that one county came up with 202 votes for Johnson so the election turned around at the end. Johnson was thought to have tampered with the voting. Just before JFK was assassinated it was getting hot for LBJ and he was going to be prosecuted for that. With JFK out-of-the-way he wouldn’t get prosecuted. There’s a recording of Bobby Kennedy saying to Lyndon Johnson on the telephone asking him, “Why did you have my brother killed?” It’s creepy... a lot of information online. The LBJ election fraud was in the news. LBJ’s mistress went on CZcams and spilled all the beans about LBJ’s involvement in the assassination. The Mafia was very intricately intertwined with politicians in Texas at that time, including LBJ. All quite intriguing.
These are great stories for youtube…
They went big on that table
He tells that one great. Good friend of mine that man.
"The guy in the sewer".. lol.
That scenario has been disproven so many times.
This is the comment I was looking for lol. So far it's been said 2 shooters, 1 6th for window, 2 guys behind the fence but 1 shooter 1 lookout.
Johnny Roselli was supposedly the shooter in the storm drain. His dismembered body was found in an oil drum, floating off of Miami, just days before he was supposed to testify before the Select Comittee on Assasinations in 1978(?).
Great interview 🍺🍺🍺🍺
Russo was everywhere, and knew everyone/everything
Nobody should give the guy a platform....he’s a complete fool
"A MAN WEARING GALOSHES - WILL BE AT THE DOOR GIVE'EM THE THING"..!
"THE INLAWS" - LMFAO...!
Hang on, the guy in the sewer is a good friend of his?!?!? This guy is a trip. He’s even bigger than Forrest, Forrest Gu-ump.
I worked with Russo in New York, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, and Washington DC. He changes his stories for different people. He told us that Jack Ruby was with Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans when he “flew down there” to meet Carlos Marcello. Then he told the story again but this time he said mob lawyer Frank Ragano was there also with Santo Traficante. He told me he met Pablo Escobar in a Church in Bogota and he invited him to stay at his ranch. First of all, Escobar’s ranch was in Antioquia, not Bogotá. Then he told the story again and said he me Escobar in a restaurant in Medellin and wanted him to spend the night at his house but Gianni felt he would be clipped and told him he had to shoot a movie, so Escobar flew him on his private jet to Miami. When he checked into a hotel, he used prepaid credit cards which require a certain limit to cover insurance for the hotel. He had to use another card, and another, until a woman finally presented her card for the incidentals. One thing is true, he did get a lot of pu$$y especially during the Godfather craze after it was released in 1972. All he had to do was tell people he was in the Godfather and they rolled out the red carpet.
The Mafia giveth, and the Mafia taketh away
Greg M so President Johnson was Mafia is that what you are saying
Johnson knew and approved. Mafia types were the tools to do the job.
He’s referring to Carlos Marcelo.
Cheers I thought it was Carlo gambino
wolf blitzer I live close to one of Carlos’s houses in New Orleans it’s surrounded by cement statues and it sticks out like a sore thumb in that cheap neighborhood I guess his kids own it now. He owned a lot of swamp land on the Westbank where people disappeared.
@@thatrandomchannel8589 thanks 👍
@@thatrandomchannel8589 those people must have been rats or people behind gambling payments
This literally seems like a movie scene
Can someone please explain 3:40-3:51?
Was Oswald hired to take the fall ?
Online I’ve read a very large amount of the research of all the people who have been getting to the bottom of the JFK assassination and it appears that Oswald was the fall guy, as you asked. There’s an awful lot of information out there and all very intriguing.
$15k in 1953 is about $144,000 today, damn!
1963
Boy he's got amazing stories. One of them has to be true.
Gianni was the guy who let the Dogs out.
I need a BLT
me too.
Can’t hear sound Is low
Plant from state
Facts !!! Alot of the ppl who were part of the hit were killed a few years later. Leave no stone unturned !. This is going to be a great interview.
Though little before my time. This was sad. For them to do Jfk, like that was just awful. To kill him that way. How cruel just watching it on rv was traumatic. I would not of wanted to be there to see it happen. To listen to this man act like it was no big deal. Is there anything he claim not to know?. With all the craziness going on, not much has happened. I'm thinking, they could of, if they had to, it could been did differently. This was not only Savage. A Day in History that cannot be unseen. Jackie had to live with that image, my God, it's a wonder she didn't lose her mind. He feel OK talking about it now,?. I don't understand. Sad, shocking. Vj.
Leon Gleckman and Tom Braun......en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brown_(police_officer)
Was james file the guy on the grassy null ?
I saw the CZcams video of James Files being interviewed where he said he was the grassy knoll shooter.
Files is a proven liar.
All the mobsters you interviewed are such good storytellers !
Or, all the storytellers are such mobsters
yeh strangely enough , they have had some practice at lying
Wouldn't that mean they helped LBJ BECOME PRESIDENT...
I believe the Mafia talk that fatal shot came from right front of limo driver Greer perfectly slowed to an almost stop just few feet in front of large storm sewer grate an then last awful exploding shot. I read comment recently that 2 hours after limo sped away to hospital someone called Dallas police an said they saw someone crawl out of a sewer culvert other side of dealer plaza. Don't know if that's true though that kinda backs up storm drain theory if that was true.
Is this guy related to aaron Russo?
yeah - I was thinking that too!
His uncle was Arron
just let you guys know, the US government released more documents about the JFK assassination last month.
He is hilarious 😂😅
Sam Giancana's opinion of JFK "...he shoulda' had his '&^%$' bronzed."
Holy shit..i believe this guy too...he prob shouldn't have said this I hope he don't wind up 74
‘Dat guy in da sewer...ya...he was Skinny Vinnie da Torso. Ya know whys dey called him dat? Why? Cuz he had to have his arms and legs sawed off to fit in da sewer. He shot da rifle wit his eyelashes....’
‘Got it!’
I see a (canoli) in Gianni's future....*GF-1/GF-3*.
😉👍.
I think he is a story teller
To see if the story , has any merit , if someone could check the schedule of The S.S. Independence for Nov 22/63 .
If I knew how I would.
I imagine they still follow the same schedule of today . When I left New York City , a few years ago I left on The Queen Mary 2 on a Friday . But I just had a thought , I also left when I was a child , with my family on The Maurettania 2 from New York to Gilbrator in Aug 63 ,we did not leave until 5 pm , I know that there is a time difference , between New York and Dallas .So I do not think his story holds water . They would have heard about the shooting before leaving New York .
With all his success, fascinating stories , his charisma and his recounting of his interesting life, it easy to miss that he said that he can't read and that he is very religious . I wonder if he ever regrets not getting a better education ? I wonder if he thinks religion helped him ? If so, how ?
How could he chuckle and laugh over the murder of a (U.S.) president.....*as he tells his TALL tale*...?!
He talks about Costello. WHO IS COSTELLO? Full name please!
Elvis
Abbott and Costello! LOL
I am Costello
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Costello
Frank Costello
So it's true, "blood in, blood out".
You need to hook him up to a poly graph as you interview him ..
Quite a story teller ..
polygraph is never accurate
@@joseidon hes nuts his stories are absurd ..
Costello was out by 1960 .. Hes got 10 kids before he was like 40 .. His career went nowhere ..
Of course Connally knew. Connally later said, in an unmistakable tone of voice, something along the lines of, "They're shooting at Us!"
The actual words, and tone of voice implied, They're shooting at us too; but they're not supposed to shoot at us.
'There gona kill us all'
And don’t photos or videos show that in LBJ’s limo that was behind the Secret Service car that LBJ ducked down right then?
@BeboBevo Connelly said, “My God, they’re going to kill us all!” Also, upon John Connelly’s death, no autopsy was allowed. Very interesting 🤔
Yeah the hair dresser he knows
I knew there was three shooters . Two in the rear and one in the front.
how would he know, isnt he just an actor?
yeah just an actor that is under the wing of the Mafia,no big deal
Ruperth316 this guy was 19 years old at the time of JFKs death, not sure how much he really knows
John Giglio I thought just the same. I find it hard to believe a guy just running notes is that informed. Killing the president schemes would-be run on a need to know basis i assume.
He is full of shit
@@johngiglio7327 Russo was born in 39 you add it up pal ..
I watched a documentary about jfk and there were 7 snipers, not 3
Who is this?
gianni russo aint no gangsta
Dude, you must be high. JFK got elected because of his help from above and due to his charisma and vision, which you ignore. How dare you do this. Do you know his last speech before he was assassinated? What an idiot you are. You are reaching beyond your intelligence and knowledge and history on this one. Do shallow shit like money stuff and the rest
3:56 "the guy in the sewer.....found in floating in a barrel" (Johnny Roselli).
See I tell people this stuff and they think i am nuts I saw the other video about the 2 caskets the bronze and the shipping caskets and thought there was a body switch. O also tell people that in alpha order it was the CIA FBI Johnson and the Mob that did the job on JFK. And these videos are starting to make more sense to me of how this whole thing happened and why
Right!!!
Patrick, you are an exceptionally smart individual. Serious question now: Do you believe all the stories you have heard from Mr. Russo, or do you think he bullshits just a "little-bit" (like Bob DeNiro would say)?
Like the guy. Don't like the interviewer's posture and attitude.
Man is no threat to anyone, ask him about the sinking of Titanic, he will tell you he swam 400 miles to shore, Russo has done so much he is no longer believed by anyone.....But, I'd 25% of this is true Man is a national treasure, just ask him.
It may lend some merit to his story , to see if The Independence left N.Y.C. on Nov 22/63 . Ships usually leave on Fridays .
Tecashi 69 is more real then these "Gangsters"
James Files was the killshot
Wow, so the kill shot came from a guy in the sewer.
Video has NOTHING to do with the title...
Who was the shooter n the storm drain
He’s talking reckless 🤫
Kutzzz He told me the same story in Puerto Rico in 2012
J Peter Loftus why was he in PR?
not really pretty much all of the guys involved in the life at that point are now dead in jail or flipped
Why was/is the Italian mob specifically the sci-fi loans so anti blacks when they descended from North Africa?
MrBayrum56
Do u know ?
Where was Tupac
With Biggie.
LBJ also died before 1977
Russo has the best stories in all of Hollywood and that’s saying something !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why does he look and sound like a bootleg Al Pacino
Back and to the left.
#grassyknoll
If gianni knew jfk, I'm mickey mouse.
Court jester at best.
So I said to Tom Edison try this light bulb. God's honest truth isn't this crazy
It’s true I was the horse for the carriage carrying Kennedy! Can you believe that!
I don’t like how he’s laughing about JFK’s assassination.
@Barb I understand your question, Barb. Most people wouldn’t laugh at this tragic story. I’ve listen to this fellow several times and he is by nature very lighthearted, and being associated with the Mafia he didn’t have his emotions tied into it like the average American did/does.
73 people died after him, that's how You do it Kids
I told you it was the Mafia!!!!
Anyone seen the vid of George H. W. Bush laughing when discussing JFK getting killed by a lone assassin?
Every time GHWB was asked where was when JFK was assassinated, it was a different place.
But he was killed accidentally by the secret service
Why would an Irish American family need help from the mob
