We went places I rarely talk about - from how i handled the stress of that life, to how I built a basement co...

I’m dropping some hard truths about human traff*cking that’ll shock you to your core. After years in organized crime, I’ve seen darkness, but nothing prepared me for these statistics. More than 80% of child traff*cking cases involve someone the victim knows - a relative, teacher, friend, or neighbor. This isn’t some distant problem - it’s happening in our neighborhoods, our schools, our families....

In this candid sit-down, I tackle the immigration crisis with my partner Tony - two guys from Brooklyn offering Congress some real common sense solutions. While politicians play politics, I’m laying out the hard truths about what mass deportations will do to our economy and proposing a practical path to citizenship that actually works. From my business experience hiring immigrants to Tony’s milita...

Meet Brelinda Sullen, a fierce and compassionate principal who transformed failing schools in Alabama’s Black Belt. For over three decades, she poured her heart, soul, and personal finances into saving lives of students from broken homes, gangs, and poverty. Facing political battles and wrongful accusations, her story is one of relentless love, sacrifice, and faith against overwhelming odds. Her l...

I’m ranking the 20 greatest mob actors of all time—and some of my picks might surprise you.” I break them down into five categories: The GOAT (Greatest of All Time), Legendary, Memorable, Average, and Forgettable. These aren’t just movie reviews from some critic. I lived this life for 20 years and knew real mobsters like Joe Colombo, Fat Tony Salerno, and Chin Giganti personally. I can tell you wh...

Meet Tommy Robinson, the UK activist who grew up with Andrew Tate and became one of Britain’s most polarizing figures. We’re...

For the first time ever, I’m sitting down with two of my daughters for the most personal conversation I’ve ever had on this platform. We’re talking about what it was really like growing up with a mobster dad—the prison years, coming home, blended family dynamics, and questions I’ve never been asked before. They’re not holding back. We discuss the challenges of having half-siblings, what life was l...

🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ $40 Million Dollars. That’s how much money The Interpreter allegedly “borrowed” from Shohei Ohtani — and where does Matt Bowyer, the bookmaker, fit into this explosive story? I sit down with Matt Bowyer—the man who took millions from Ohtani’s interpreter—and he’s telling me thin...

Trump vs. Don Corleone: I See the Same Power Moves People call Trump a mob boss like it’s an insult. But after watching him handle Putin and Ukraine, I’m saying—maybe that’s exactly what we need. I’ve been in those rooms. I know what real power looks like. And when I see Trump flying to Alaska, making Putin come to him, then summoning every European leader to the White House—that’s straight out of...

In one of his only english interviews, I sit down with Pablo Escobar’s most dangerous partner — Carlos Lehder, the man who revolutionized coca*ne smuggling and lived to tell the truth. This isn’t the story you saw in Narcos or read in the history books. What’s it like being called “The Henry Ford of Coca*ne”? What really happened behind the scenes of the Medellín Cartel? And how do you survive 33...

From gang member facing four years in prison to self-made multimillionaire—but that’s not even the most unbelievable part of Ryan Blair’s story. At 16, Ryan was staring down a prison sentence that would have destroyed his life. One judge’s decision changed everything. What happened next defies explanation. Ryan built and sold companies worth hundreds of millions. Private jets, stadiums full of peo...

“I’m ranking the 25 greatest mob bosses of all time—and some of you won’t like my choices.” I break them down into five categories: The GOAT (Greatest of All Time), The Big Timers, The Power Players, The Contenders, and The Show Offs. These aren’t just names from movies. I knew some of these guys personally, worked with others, and heard the real stories from people who were there. You’ll see boss...

I’ve never done this before—never had another made guy on my platform. But today, I’m sitting down with Dominic Cicale, former Bonanno family captain. We get into the parts of that life most people never understand. The camaraderie we miss. The respect that came naturally. The money you could get with a phone call. But also the betrayal, the politics, and why we both walked away from it all. Dom o...

I know, I know—another Epstein video. You’re probably sick of hearing about it. But here’s why I can’t let this die: they’re counting on us getting tired, moving on, forgetting about it. That’s exactly what they want. I sat down with Nick Bryant, the investigative journalist who released Epstein’s Black Book and flight logs back in 2015—before any of this was mainstream news. He’s got new informat...

These attacks are not random. There is a pattern here. In this sit-down, I trace the shocking escalation from a distraught father’s hospital rampage to a Walmart knife attack, a college dorm sho*ting, and beyond—revealing how untreated trauma, social isolation, and political rage are colliding into viol*nce on our streets. We’ll expose the hidden connections lawmakers and media ignore, demand real...

Mob legend Vito Genovese murdered his way from a tenement in Naples to the pinnacle of American organized crime—and then blew it all with one fateful summit in rural New York. From Coney Island hits and fascist alliances to running a transatlantic empire, he rewrote the rules of the underworld. But his bid to crown himself “boss of bosses” at Appellation brought down the first real heat on Cosa No...

What if everything you think you know about Epstein is only the tip of the iceberg? In this raw, no-holds-barred sitdown, I sit down with Paul Hutchinson—the real-life hero behind Sound of Freedom—who’s risked everything on 70+ undercover missions to rescue kids and expose evil. We pull back the curtain on the shadowy web of power, blackmail, and cover-ups that kept Epstein’s secrets buried. No po...

This might be the most important video I ever make. It’s not about the mafia. It’s not about money or power. It’s about something far more real—and far more eternal. 50,000 people packed a stadium in Anaheim, not for a concert or a game… but for a message. I was there, and what I witnessed moved me deeply. In this video, I share why I believe the world is starving—not for entertainment, but for tr...

For the first time in a rare English interview, I sit down with the son of the most feared drug lord in modern history — Pablo Escobar. But this isn’t the story you’ve seen on Netflix or read in the headlines. What’s it like growing up as the heir to a criminal empire? What really happened behind the scenes of the Medellín Cartel? And how do you break away from a legacy built on fear, blood, and b...

Why is everyone so quiet? The list is sealed. The case is closed. And suddenly, both sides of the aisle have nothing to say. This isn’t just about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. It’s about the people who built him—who funded him, protected him, and maybe… still are. Where’s the outrage from the media? The politicians? The prosecutors? Why are the same people who claim to fight for justice now pretendin...

They said it wouldn’t happen… but here we are. Me and Bill Maher. One-on-one. Two guys from opposite sides of just about everything—politics, faith, culture—sitting down to talk it out. We went deep on the mafia, family, corruption, cancel culture, Biden, Trump, fear, power, and what’s really broken in this country. We disagreed. We laughed. We called out the BS—on both sides. You might be surpris...

What really happens when you go undercover—knowing one wrong move could end it all? In this sitdown, I talk with Scott Payne, a man who spent decades infiltrating biker gangs, hate groups, and some of the darkest corners of America. He shares the moments that nearly broke him: stripped at gunpoint, wired up, staring down men who wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger. Scott reveals how he survived—...
