    This happened in the 60's. I was young and driving an old beater late one night and my car died but had enough momentum to coast into a gas station. I noticed a guy on a motorcycled at the pump in front of me...but I did not take notice of what he was wearing. Back then they had gas station attendants who would service your car on the spot....and my car was smoking indicating it needed attention. The station attendant was in the station (I could see him) but did NOT come out. I figured he was busy with something and would come out as soon as he was through and I had no choice but to wait since my car would not start.
    After a while, I noticed that the jacket on the man on the motorcycles said "Hell's Angels." Then I realized that was why the attendant did not come out.
    The Hell's Angels guy got off his bike and came back to my car and tapped on my window. I rolled it down a crack. He said, "I see your having trouble with your car."
    I said "Yes, it just died."
    He told me to wait until it cooled down and he would get it started. I did what he said. He pushed my car to the side and waited until the car cooled down. Then he filled the radiator, suggested that I get anti-freeze for it, and told me to try to start it. The car turned over and began to chug again. I thanked him profusely and offered to pay him. He smiled and refused the money and got me on my way.
    I know the Hell's Angels are tough guys...but they have their moments and I was glad when one of them was around!

    I cant believe im watching the mafia and hells angels talk about modern politics this is a crazy time to live in.
  • @jerrymartin9224
    What does that say when a mafia and hells angel boss, sit together and critique the criminality of government. Surely this is food for thought.
  • @acarter4173
    Whether you like George Christie or not, he is a personable guy, and always gives a great interview. This is one of the few times I remember a guest asking so many questions to the interviewer, which made it a genuine conversation, in which both guys displayed genuine interest in the other's experiences. Dynamite show.
  • @PKPedrusMNB
    This is an amazing conversation. To watch a former Mafia Boss and Head of the Hells Angels sit down and have a conversation of their days in their organizations is just priceless.
  • @SteveMcRae
    A truly respectful conversation between two well spoken gentlemen who come from a day where things like honor and respect mattered. A+ interview!
  • My daughter was in children’s hospital in Dallas tx and the Angels came in and seen the kids and brought toys. It was amazing and I shook their hands and man the kids need that. I would thank them guys again.
  • @thatsthat2612
    It's still mental to me that an ex mafia boss has a you tube channel but I'll be buggered if it's not one of the most interesting channels on here. Michael, you're a legend for the right reasons 😊 (sorry NOT boss, apparently this is very important. Can't say it affects my life but ppl are really cranky about it)
  • @CapAnson12345
    As a truck driver I've run across almost every MC I can think of at one time or another over the road. Never had a problem with any of them. Can't say the same thing about highway patrol.
  • @only1badass582
    The intelligence of these two is astounding. So well spoken without speaking a damn thing. Well done gentlemen.
  • I appreciate you having these conversations publicly. It brings perspective to the world and it is much needed.

    True story about a Hells Angels encounter... I'm British with Italian heritage on my father side, as a consequence I really got into the old classic Italian Scooters and the smart "mod" way of dressing.

    Back in the 90's when I was a teenager, a group of us teens were going to a scooter rally on the South Coast of England, which involved a long ride down there on our little scooters. Now vintage scooters don't go very fast, and whilst we were in the slow lane on a motorway (3 lane highway), a bunch of 15-20 guys on sports bikes, all dressed like Power Rangers thought it would be funny to come and take the p*ss out of our little scooters. They were riding inches away from us, giving us the bird & hand-job signals and generally being intimidating.

    Next thing, we heard the unmistakable thrum of Harleys and turned round to see 5 patched up Hells Angels ride up from behind and then in amongst the group of sports bikes. We thought we were gonna get our heads kicked in, but it was the opposite. The Hells Angels basically got the Power Rangers to f*ck off, then rode with us (at our speed) to where we exited the motorway and gave us the thumbs up as we waved them goodbye.

    The HA and us scooter kids looked the complete antithisis of each other, however, I like to think it was a shared love of our respective two wheel machines and the open road that made them to do what they did. They didn't have to take the time out to watch our backs and I've had immense respect to them to this very day.

    This was hands down one of the most fascinating and interesting sit-downs I've ever watched on Youtube and I can not wait to watch the second part! Thanks Michael.
  • @barbtaylor562
    This is a amazing conversation between two friends. It’s refreshing to watch a honest conversation. Thanks for allowing us into your lives. 👏🇨🇦
  • @Frank-pk6oi
    First I need to explain I post on my husband Frank's YouTube acct! I don't know George, but was friends on Facebook with Sonny Barger and he did something that really touched my heart! Hubby and I don't have kids we rescue stray and abused animals and when one of our dogs crossed The Rainbow Bridge we received the kindest message from Mr. Barger and his wife! Gods speed to you both! Patricia Gambino Harrington
  • @jannigirl
    This was a great conversation and I can't wait for Part 2. It is so interesting to see the two organizations side by side! Thanks for this one Michael.
  • @d1mennis
    George is 100% stand up and has the greatest stories. Can't wait for part 2!
  • @jerrylee1100
    Great interview. Brings back memories of when Mr. Christie was released from TI. The officers were giving him a hard time bringing his personal belongings out and I was given a call and asked some questions about what he was capable of. He is a class act and although we never met face to face, I was happy to help out in a small way smoothing things out.
