I thought I understood Epstein, Israel, and the war in Iran… until this conversation. In this sit down, CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou walks me through why he believes Epstein was working as an access agent, how Israel and Mossad might sit at the center of more than we think, why the Kennedy files still aren’t fully released 60 years later, and what’s really behind the Iran war and Trump’s decisions. I don’t say this lightly: this one actually made me rethink some things.

I was asked to consult on The Sopranos before it ever aired. I turned it down. The rest is history. Now I’m finally giving you the breakdown nobody else can give — a real former mob boss rating every major character from the real deal to flat-out mamaluke. Tony visiting a psychiatrist? Dead in a week. Christopher Moltisanti? Never should have gotten made. Vito Spatafore? Don’t get me started. I go through every major character and tell you exactly where they’d land in real mob life — and where the show got it right and dead wrong.

Greg Scarpa Jr. and I got made the same night — Halloween 1975. I hadn’t seen him in 45 years. Now he’s out, and he’s telling me a story I almost couldn’t believe — except every piece of it checks out. While Greg was locked up in MCC New York, he was housed next to Ramzi Yousef, the man who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993. Greg got close to him. Yousef started passing him written notes through the cracks in the wall — plans to blow up planes, kill prosecutors, take down the World Trade Center. Greg gave it all to the FBI. They had photographs, kites, recorded calls. Then they buried him in supermax for 12 years and made him out to be a liar. Why? Because Greg was about to expose a corrupt FBI agent who’d put dozens of our guys in prison. You tell me what kind of country does this. Listen to what he says and decide for yourself.

I’ve supported Donald Trump. I still support a lot of his policies. But this week I have to be honest — and if you know me, you know I’m going to tell it like it is no matter who it offends. Trump went on Truth Social and called Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones low IQ and stupid. I know Tucker personally. He is neither of those things. None of them are. Then Trump posted an image of himself that looked like Jesus Christ — and had to take it down. I’m a Christian. I can’t stay quiet on that. I’m also going to give you my honest take on Iran, Netanyahu, and why Trump desperately needs a real consigliere — not a yes man. The mob got that part right. This isn’t me turning on Trump. This is me calling it like I see it.

Sean Hannity got things out of me in this sit-down that I haven't told anyone in 30 years. He asked me some straight up questions about the life, and I gave him an answer I've never given on camera before. We got into the Marilyn Monroe story my father took to his grave — why Bobby Kennedy called J. Edgar Hoover and told him to bury my dad. I told Sean how the FBI took $33 million from me in Austria — they basically robbed the money I robbed from them. And the night in 1991 that should've ended me, the one that 13 of my guys didn't survive. This is the longest conversation Sean and I have ever had, and he didn't let me off the hook on anything. If you want to watch the full interview, you can find it on Sean's youtube channel!

I’ve sat with mob bosses, cartel associates, and killers, but I have never been this educated on the Mexican cartels as I was in this sit down with DEA legend Mike Vigil. Mike spent 31 years with the DEA, rose to chief of international operations, worked undercover across Latin America, and has gone head‑to‑head with cartels from Colombia to Mexico. In this interview he breaks down how groups like CJNG and Sinaloa really operate, what changed after El Mencho was taken out, and why retaliation spread across multiple Mexican states. He explains “terror schools,” disappearances, paramilitary tactics, and why killing one kingpin often makes the violence even worse. If you care about what’s happening in Mexico, travel safety, the drug trade, or just want an honest look from someone who’s been on the front lines, watch this one from beginning to end.

I was born in 1951. I was made in 1975. And on May 27th, I’ll be 75 years old. Three quarters of a century on this planet. I lay in bed the other night and I started thinking about everything I’ve lived through — every president, every war, every cultural shift, every mob story I was in the middle of. So I sat down and I wrote it all down decade by decade. JFK’s assassination. Vietnam. Joe Colombo getting shot. Halloween night, 1975. The Commission trial. Doing my time. 9/11. The Sopranos finale. COVID. Right up to today. Some of it’ll make you smile. Some of it’ll make you angry. All of it shaped who I am. Consider this my thank you to all of you who’ve been with me on this ride. And if you’ve been around long enough, maybe it’ll bring back some memories of your own.

Tucker Carlson, Theo Von, Candace Owens — they’ve all said America gets nothing from Israel and that we’re wasting billions propping them up. But do the numbers actually support that? I read an article today that breaks it down in a way nobody in the media is talking about — where the $3.8 billion actually goes, how much comes back to American companies and American jobs, and why Israel may be saving us far more than we’re spending. I don’t necessarily agree with everything in it, but the numbers are real and nobody is debunking them. I also give my honest take on Netanyahu, Trump, the Iran war, and why I think you can’t call a man a dictator on Monday and say he’s being led by the nose on Tuesday. Come at me with the evidence. I’ll change my mind.

Andrew Tate, Tristan, Nick Fuentes, Sneako, Myron and a young influencer named Clavicular went to a Miami nightclub, asked the DJ to play a Kanye West “Heil Hitler” track, and the clip went viral. Now they’re being banned from clubs all over Miami, accused of antisemitism, and everyone on social media is piling on. You don’t have to agree with me, but you’ll get my honest perspective as someone who’s seen real hate, real violence, and now a whole lot of social‑media noise. Andrew Tate Miami Club Controversy: Did They Go Too Far?

Today I sit down with Enrique De La Madrid – son of a former Mexican president and one of the few people who actually understands how deep the corruption runs. We get into the cartels’ new gas tax scam that mirrors the exact gasoline hustle I ran back in the life, how cartels kidnap opposition and rig elections, why parts of the Mexican government are effectively in business with organized crime, and what that really means for your safety, tourism, and the future of the drug war. This one will change the way you look at Mexico, the cartels, and our own government on both sides of the border.

Tommy Robinson has been jailed, silenced, threatened, and put on an ISIS kill list. He came to America for one reason — to warn us before it’s too late. I sit down with Tommy for a wide-ranging and at times shocking conversation about Britain’s grooming gang scandal, the cover-up from the highest levels of government, the Muslim Brotherhood’s documented plan for America, the Strait of Hormuz blockade, why he believes Trump is saving Western civilization, and what he says is already happening in Texas right now that most Americans have no idea about. He also tells me what he’d say to Trump if he got the chance to sit down with him. His answer surprised me. This is a conversation you won’t see on mainstream media. There’s a reason for that.
