They’ve killed Americans, they were building a nuclear weapon, and they’ve murdered 16,000 of their own people this year alone. This isn’t politics. This is common sense. In this video I break down exactly where the Iran war stands right now — the failed ceasefire talks, the Strait of Hormuz blockade, why the Democrats’ hypocrisy on this is staggering, and what Trump absolutely must do to finish this. I also address Netanyahu’s influence, Trump’s campaign promise of no new wars, and why America cannot afford to walk away from this without winning. I’ve got no horse in this race except my children, my grandchildren, and this country. That’s enough.

  • Has Trump Finally Lost It? A Former Mob Boss Gives His Honest Verdict

    Has Trump Finally Lost It? A Former Mob Boss Gives His Honest Verdict
    Apr 14 2026
    🍾 Join Me In Celebrating My 75th Birthday, Sign up for this free event here!: http://celebrate.michaelfranzese.com/ 🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://yt.franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ 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. Has Trump Finally Lost It?

Real leadership shows up when everything is falling apart — and I know that firsthand. In this video I break down the most powerful leadership lessons from Machiavelli’s The Prince and overlay them with what I actually lived inside one of the most high-pressure criminal organizations in American history. We cover the four ways leaders rise, how to manage your reputation like a weapon, how to read timing and opportunity, and most importantly — how to lead through crisis without losing your people, your credibility, or yourself. Machiavelli described human nature as it really is. I lived it. Now you’re going to learn it. 🤝 Book 1 on 1 Call With Me: https://michaelfranzese.com/book-1-on-1-call/ 🔥 Check out my store: https://store.michaelfranzese.com/ 🎙️ Michael Franzese Podcast on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Eo39qb 📧 Interested in partnerships? partnerships@michaelfranzese.com 00:00 - Crisis Doesn't Weaken Leaders.
