    UK Journalist EXPOSES The Islamic Takeover of Britain

    🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ 📖 Check out our guest's book!: https://amzn.to/4670dZf This is one of the most controversial conversations I’ve ever had—and one of the most eye-opening. Meet Tommy Robinson, the UK activist who grew up with Andrew Tate and became one of Britain’s most polarizing figures. We’re diving deep into the hidden crisis plaguing England: grooming gangs, government cover-ups, and the systematic silencing of anyone who dares speak out. Tommy walks me through his hometown transformation from one mosque to forty-five, the disturbing statistics behind decades of ignored crimes, and why he’s spent years in prison for making documentary films. From solitary confinement to d*ath threats, from being banned by Big Tech to planning massive demonstrations, Tommy reveals what it’s really like to fight an establishment that would rather protect its policies than its people. I have to admit—by the end of this conversation, I found myself agreeing with him far more than I expected. What drove this man to risk everything? What did he witness growing up that changed his life forever? And why does he believe September 13th could be Britain’s turning point?

    Sep 4 2025
    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 like when I was away, and they even address the elephant in the room—do I favor their youngest sister Julia? And, stick around to hear a special announcement about something exciting the girls are launching soon—something you won’t want to miss.You’ve heard my side of the story for years. Now hear it from the people who lived it with me—my own kids. This isn’t just about the mob life. It’s about family, forgiveness, and what really happens behind closed doors. Trust me—you’ve never seen this side of Michael Franzese before. My Daughters CONFRONTED Me About Being a Mobster Dad Backbone Media Group Learn more about your ad choices.

Meet Michael Moy—once a feared Fuk-Ching enforcer, turned decorated NYPD detective. We’re pulling back the curtain on the real, hidden world of Chinese street gangs: incense-lit blood oaths, Dai Lo kingpins, $110,000-a-week gambling dens, and the brutal betrayals and shootouts you never saw in the headlines. Mike survived it all—gunfights, RICO sweeps, and the night a friend died in his arms—before risking everything to join the other side of the law. Why did he walk away? What did he see that changed everything? And what secrets is he about to reveal, straight from files that once stayed locked in NYPD evidence rooms?

    Shohei Ohtani’s Bookmaker REVEALS The $40 Million Gambling Scandal
    Aug 28 2025
    🍷 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 things that’ll shock you. Was Ohtani really innocent? How did Matt not know something was wrong when an interpreter was betting millions? And why didn’t he just cut him off? This isn’t the sanitized story you heard on ESPN. This is the truth from someone who lived it—told to someone who’s been there. Matt’s facing 18 years in prison. And for the first time, he’s answering the questions everyone’s been asking but nobody’s been brave enough to ask directly. Trust me—what you think you know about this scandal is just the beginning. The real story is much more interesting.

  • Former Mob Boss Breaks Down Trump's Godfather Strategy

    Former Mob Boss Breaks Down Trump's Godfather Strategy
    Aug 26 2025
    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 The Godfather. Don Corleone called all five family bosses together to end a war. Trump’s doing the same thing with world leaders. The left hates this comparison, but here’s what they’re missing: Don Corleone wanted to stop the kil*ing. Trump wants to stop the kil*ing. Whether it’s ego, strategy, or genuine concern—who cares if it saves lives? You think I’m giving Trump too much credit? Fine. But I know mob tactics when I see them, and positioning nuclear subs near Russia while negotiating peace? That’s textbook intimidation with a purpose. Both men understood one thing: you negotiate from a position of strength, not weakness. You make people come to you. You control the room. And if they don’t play ball, there are consequences. Like him or hate him, Trump’s playing this like a boss. The question is—will it work?

  • Carlos Lehder: Partner to Pablo Escobar and The King of Smugglers (Rare Sitdown)

    Carlos Lehder: Partner to Pablo Escobar and The King of Smugglers (Rare Sitdown)
    Aug 22 2025
    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 years in America’s most brutal prisons — including four years in solitary confinement? In this raw conversation, Carlos opens up about his empire built on Norman’s Cay, his complex relationship with Pablo Escobar, and the moment everything came crashing down. We talk about betrayal, survival, and why he’s speaking out now at 75 years old. This isn’t just about drug smuggling — it’s about power, consequence, and the price of choosing crime over everything else. If you think you know the story of the Medellín Cartel... you’re only getting half the truth.

    Aug 19 2025
    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 people, everything money could buy. Then he lost it all. Friends betrayed him, lawsuits piled up, and his mother lay dying. But here’s where the story gets really interesting. What Ryan experienced—and what he witnessed happen to his own son—will challenge everything you think you know about what’s actually possible when you hit rock bottom. You need to hear this.

  • Most Powerful Mafia Bosses Of All Time Ranked by Ex Mobster

    Most Powerful Mafia Bosses Of All Time Ranked by Ex Mobster
    Aug 14 2025
    “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 bosses who built empires that lasted decades. Guys who had politicians and judges in their pockets. Some controlled entire cities, others made millions every week. And yeah, some were absolutely ruthless when they had to be. From Fat Tony Salerno to bosses you’ve probably never heard of but should know about—this is the real hierarchy of American organized crime. The guys who really ran things behind the scenes. Some of my choices might surprise you. Others will make perfect sense. But every name on this list earned their place through power, influence, and the ability to survive in a world where one wrong move could be your last. Let me know where you think I got it right—and where you think I’m completely wrong. Most Powerful Mafia Bosses Of All Time Ranked by Ex Mobster 1:39 The Five Categories Explained 4:19 Lucky Luciano 5:52 Paul Castellano 6:39 Tony "Big Tuna" Accardo 7:12 Joseph Bonanno 9:39 Carlos Marcello 10:11 Vincent "Chin" Gigante 10:53 Russell Bufalino 11:24 Salvatore Maranzano 12:03 Nicodemo Scarfo 12:30 Carmine Persico 13:09 Frank Costello 14:03 Vincent Basciano 14:45 Joey Massino 15:46 Raymond Patriarca 16:09 Vito Genovese 17:00 Anthony "Tony Ducks" Corallo 17:48 Carlo Gambino 18:51 Al Capone 20:20 Tommy Lucchese 21:00 Meyer Lansky 21:49 Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno 23:09 Johnny Torrio 23:43 John Gotti 26:04 Bugsy Siegel 27:38 Joe Colombo 30:15 Final Rankings Summary 32:10 Conclusion Backbone Media Group Learn more about your ad choices.
