    Mamdani Is Erasing Italians From New York — Former Mob Boss Responds

    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. And that's not all he did. After 55 years, he denied the Italian-American Civil Rights League the license to celebrate Columbus Day. The league Joe Colombo started. My father was part of that fight. I take this PERSONALLY. We built the subways. We built the bridges. We built that city. And this clown wants to erase us from it? Not on my watch. 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.

    Most Dangerous Criminal Organizations Ranked By Ex Mobster

Download now at http://wallet.rumble.com/InnerCircle and use the code InnerCircle10. 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ I spent 20 years inside one of these organizations — now I’m ranking all of them. The cartels, the ’Ndrangheta, the Yakuza, the Triads, the Russians, the Irish, and yes, my own people. Four tiers: no rules no remorse, ruthless and relentless, dangerous with discipline, and business first, blood last. Where I put Cosa Nostra might surprise you.This isn’t just research. I did business with some of these groups, met their people on the street and in prison, and I’ve talked to the DEA and FBI agents who hunted them. One of these organizations shot down a military helicopter. One brings in $50 billion a year and most Americans have never heard of them. And one of them might be the most violent group on the face of the earth.Tell me where I got it wrong — and if I missed an organization, put it in the comments.

    Critics Hate Citizen Vigilante. Audiences Love It. Former Mob Boss Explains Why

    🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://yt.franzesewine.com/💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ Critics and audiences are at each other’s throats over Citizen Vigilante, and I’m going to tell you what this fight is really about. This isn’t a review like the critics give — I lived on the other side of this fantasy. A masked vigilante hunting down criminals the system let walk, including a mob boss? I know exactly what happens to a guy like that on the street, and it doesn’t end the way it does in the movie.I break down where this film really came from, why audiences love it, why critics can’t stand it, and the one thing both sides are missing. Plus the story of the time we went hunting for the Son of Sam — the cops came to us for help, and we gave it.Fair warning: it’s a rough, violent film, and I say so. Watch to the end for what I think you should actually do about a system that fails people. Critics Hate Citizen Vigilante. Audiences Love It.

    Which Politicians Could’ve Survived The Mob? Ex-Capo Decides

Download now at http://wallet.rumble.com/InnerCircle and use the code InnerCircle10. 🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://yt.franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ I ranked 15 of the most well-known politicians in America on one question: could they have made it in the mob? This isn't political — Democrats and Republicans get sized up the same way I'd size up any guy on the street. Are they cunning? Calculated? Could they pull the trigger if they had to? Three categories: made man (or woman), survivor, or total mamaluke — forget about it. Some of these answers are going to surprise you. There's a president who never would've lasted a week, a governor who'd smooth his way in but end up with a bullet in the head, and a speaker of the house I believe could've pulled the trigger herself. I lived this life for 20 years — I know who makes it and who doesn't. Tell me who I got wrong, and give me a politician I missed. Salud. Which Politicians Could’ve Survived The Mob?

    Former Mob Boss Reveals What Real Mobsters Actually Ate

Download now at http://wallet.rumble.com/InnerCircle and use the code InnerCircle10. 🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://yt.franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ People ask me all the time: Michael, what did you guys actually eat? What was on the table? So today I’m giving you the real mob menu — not what Hollywood shows you, what these men actually loved. Al Capone’s favorite wasn’t a heavy tomato gravy — it was spaghetti with walnut sauce. Lucky Luciano, one of the most powerful Italians in history, preferred kosher pickles and corned beef from a Jewish deli. John Gotti? You’re not going to believe it — Cracker Barrel. I go through them all: Meyer Lansky’s cheese blintzes, Carlos Marcello’s Gulf seafood, Mickey Cohen’s French dip, Raymond Patriarca’s Sunday gravy, Joe Colombo’s table at Rao’s, the Genovese boss who kidnapped a chef because he couldn’t get a reservation, and Henry Hill — who told me himself his favorite was chicken soup. Then I’ll tell you what my father Sonny loved on Sundays, and my own go-to dish. I lived around these tables. Food was everything in that life. Hope I make you hungry. Salud.

With the World Cup here, people are coming to the United States from the UK, France, Japan, South America, everywhere, and they’re saying the same thing: “We owe America an apology.” They were told it was dangerous. They were afraid they’d get mugged or shot. They believed the propaganda about my country. And then they got here — and found the most generous, warm, welcoming people they’d ever met. Fans paying for strangers’ meals. High school stadiums nicer than anything back home. A GoFundMe in Boston just to keep the players around longer. I’ve traveled all over the world, and I’ve been saying this for years: America is the greatest country on earth. It’s a shame it took the World Cup for the world to see it — and even more of a shame that so many people here still don’t. This is my take. God bless America.

    Former Cop EXPOSES The Number One Killer Of Police

    I grew up hating cops. My father was Sonny Franzese, underboss of the Colombo family, and I spent my whole life on the opposite side of the badge. So when I sat down with Kevin Donaldson — a New Jersey cop who got shot on the job and came home a different man — we got into something most people never see: what that life really does to you. The mob and the badge look like opposite worlds, but the dark truth is what they have in common. The trauma. The things you can’t unsee. The hidden cost nobody warns you about. Kevin will tell you what cops carry that they never talk about, why he says it’s worse than anything I witnessed on the street, and how a man comes back from the edge. Two opposite sides of crime. One conversation. This one stayed with me. Salud. Mafia vs Police: Is One Life More Brutal Than The Other?

For almost eight years they were my best business partners on the street — and then I went to prison, and it all went bad. So when I sat down with Joe Ciro, I had to get into it. Joe spent about ten years in Russia working with the CIA, he wrote the book on the Russian mob, and he knows that world from the inside out. We get into how the Russian mafia really operates, why their hardcore guys aren’t afraid of anything America can throw at them — no prison here comes close to what they survived over there — and how all of it compares to what we had in the Cosa Nostra. Here’s what surprised me: I always thought the Russians were the most violent. Joe makes the case the Mexican mafia and the Russians are more alike than either is to us, because they’re intertwined with their own governments in a way we never were. We get into Russian culture, the bribes that run everything, socialism, and where it’s all heading. This was a fascinating one. Salud!
