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.

Christa Pike was supposed to be the first woman executed in Tennessee in 200 years. They strapped her to the gurney, started the execution — and she didn’t die. As of today, she’s alive, in a hospital, and talking. People, I read what she did. The torture of a 19-year-old girl. The skull fragment she kept. I’m not going to sugarcoat it — it’s demonic, and yes, she deserves to die. Even I’ll say that. But here’s where I’m going to lose some of you: the state still shouldn’t execute her. Tell me where you stand. Keep it intelligent — we’re trying to have a real conversation here. #ChristaPike #DeathPenalty #MichaelFranzese #TrueCrime #Tennessee

Everybody’s talking about the Tates getting arrested in Miami. The UK charges. The extradition. Everybody’s got an opinion. Here’s the difference — I know them personally. I’ve sat with them in Romania. My wife and daughter were with me. I’ve read the case files. I spent 8 years inside the system these boys are about to face. And the British government? They came after ME too — over a photograph. So before you believe what they’re feeding you, watch this.

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.

Anthony Fauci went in front of a grand jury and took the Fifth 111 TIMES. People — I’m a former mob boss. I took the Fifth. Frank Costello took the Fifth. Joey Gallo took the Fifth. You know why we did it? Because we were criminals, and we didn’t want to incriminate ourselves. So what’s HIS excuse? We got held accountable for everything. Gambling. Extortion. We paid. I did 8 years. So when does Washington pay? Watch how the mob would have handled Mamdani next: #Fauci #TheFifth #RandPaul #MichaelFranzese #Accountability

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.

Mamdani put out a map of New York's immigrant neighborhoods for the whole world to see — thirty of them. And he left MY people off of it. Little Italy. The Greeks. The Jewish neighborhoods. The Irish. Then he tells us it was an "accident." People — I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. In this one I get into all of it — the map, the permit, the socialism scam they're running on all of you, and what we would've done about a guy like this back in the day.

People, I knew the real Greg Scarpa. We were in the same family — I was close with him, and his son Greg Jr. and I were made on the same night. So when Mark Wahlberg sits down with me after playing Scarpa in “By Any Means,” I told him straight to his face: you made him look NICER than he actually was. “By Any Means” opens in theaters Friday, September 4th. It’s dark, it’s violent — but that’s exactly who Greg Scarpa was. Go see it, then come back and tell me if I’m wrong. And stay tuned, people — my sit-down with my friend Greg Scarpa Jr. is coming next, and after that, my full review of the movie.

People, let me set this straight right now. The first real organized crime gangs in New York weren’t Italian. They were IRISH — decades before my people ever got off the boat. We go through all of it — Hell’s Kitchen, Whitey Bulger and the biggest law enforcement scandal in mob history, Danny Greene in Cleveland — and then I give you my verdict. Because the answer to who won isn’t about who was tougher. A feared crew dies with its leader. An organization replaces him by Tuesday. That’s the whole difference. #IrishMob #Westies #Mafia #WhiteyBulger #MichaelFranzese #OrganizedCrime

I’ve spent my life around people who knew how to make money when everything fell apart. So when I started looking into George Soros, I recognized something. One currency collapses and he walks away richer. A nation’s economy breaks and his name turns up again. Then again. And again. At some point you stop calling it luck and start asking if it’s a pattern. In this one I walk through the crises — the Bank of England, the countries that never recovered — and I lay out what keeps repeating. I’m not here to tell you what to think. I’m here to show you the playbook and let you connect the dots. Because once you see how this works, you can’t unsee it. This is one of the most important things I’ve looked into, and I want you to watch it with your own eyes.

I’m getting messages on social media, texts, emails all saying we need to “BRING THE MAFIA BACK” to NYC.

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.

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?
