When you're telling some of these stories, other guys who were made man or were in the life, maybe they've left or it's been a couple of decades, that they ever call you and say, Sammy, why are you lying? That's not really what happened.

Or question some of the stuff.

Sammy Gravano (0:37)

No, they'll say it on their channels and their shit.

Patrick Bet-David (0:40)

Not channels. I'm talking to somebody that is not a YouTuber, doesn't want to create content. But somebody that's a real guy, that is not even wanting to sit down with anybody, just calling and say, Sammy, why'd you tell that story?

Or even why are you telling these stories publicly? Has anybody from the family's called you and say, Sammy, stop talking?

Sammy Gravano (0:57)

Not one.

Patrick Bet-David (0:58)

Not one?

Sammy Gravano (0:59)

No.

Patrick Bet-David (0:59)

Why do you think?

Sammy Gravano (1:01)

Because they're true. You know, we talked about when I was going to get sentenced in a case, Michael the Bat's sister brought a whole letter I was going for sentencing, how of a vicious, nasty, cold killer, serial killer, whatever the fuck she put in this letter to give me the maximum I could give. The judge picked up the letter and read it. I was in court, and he says to her, I don't want to mention her last name, he mentioned to her, I read your letter. He called her up front. I read your letter, and it seems like you're very angry at him.

You worked for him. It doesn't bother you that your brother was out killing with him. Never bothered you. It only bothered you now that your brother got killed.

And he threw the paper down on the desk.

And obviously, he didn't pay her no mind. You know, so it's a lot with these cases and these things. A lot of them run around with things. I always told my family, if I get killed, tomorrow, don't blame the guys who kill me. They're under orders. They might like me. They might love me. If they don't do it, they're going to get killed. And they know that. And they're under orders, and they're in the life. Don't get mad at them. It's the guy who wanted it.

So that is the life. That's the oath you take when you come in the life. You live by the gun, you die by the gun. Do the right thing. When you're in the fucking life, you survive the life. Maybe. But you're in this life. This isn't no candy-ass fucking joint. Everybody worries about every little shit. There's guys who get killed in here for nothing sometimes. You know that, Patrick. There's guys left and right. And you don't have the fucking right, John Jr, to come up, put me down, and complain about me. When you're, if I killed 19 people who were involved in 19 murders, how many fucking murders is your father involved in? 50?

When you open your fucking mouth, open it. And tell the truth. How many were you in? You killed some fucking innocent kid in a bar fight.

I remember your father and all the men. We paid the fucking cops $25,000 to cover you to fuck up.

Talk.

You want to talk, go sit with Patrick Bet-David and talk? Say the fucking truth. Talk. Don't lie to him, because he's got a big following. You want to get your fucking voice out? If you're going to talk with him, Patrick's the best guy. I did it. I talked to him a couple of times. I'm talking to him now. But tell him the truth. Go tell him the truth. Because if he don't smell the fucking truth, he's going to be on it. We're talking, I don't know how long. You double check me three times, four times already. And that's the way I supposed to be. That's why I was mad. That's what you should do with John Jr. Or you make him some heavy accusations. And we're just saying that Sammy wasn't involved. The whole fucking world knew he was involved. The Brooklyn police, New York police, FBI, people who cooperated. And then why would he just co-operate and say he did it? Why would he confess to a fucking massive murder, double murder, if he didn't do it?
