Former Mob Boss: She Deserves to Die. I’m Still...

Sit Down with Michael Franzese ·

2026/10/08

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. Not because

My oldest daughter Miq sat down with her Uncle John a few weeks ago. She hadn’t seen him in years. Now he texts her five times a day. So I figured it was my turn to sit across from her.I was in and out of prison until she was nine years old. I always thought I was there for my kids, even from inside. Miq told me the truth — how growing up with a father who kept disappearing affected her relationships, her trust, and what she thought a good marriage was supposed to look like. She didn’t even realize

People, this is it — the final sit-down with my brother John. Three weeks ago we went back to the house we grew up in. Last week he told you why he wore the wire. This week we go to the years in between: when my brother was in the life too, during the war, and our father was doing everything he could to get him made.John was five years sober when he went to see dad. Dad told him, “Son, I’m proud of you.” Took two steps. Then: “It’s a shame you ruined your whole life, though.” That’s our father. And

📲 Text me — who do you think was the more powerful organization? Make your case. I read them: https://my.community.com/michaelfranzese (424) 325 0921People, 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. The Forty Thieves, the Dead Rabbits, the Gophers, the Hudson Dusters. They owned the docks, the unions, and City Hall. So here’s my question: if the Irish were first, why is

People, Lindy Li raised MILLIONS for the Democratic Party. She was in the rooms almost nobody gets into — and what she told me, face to face, is worse than anything you’ve heard. The President of the United States, who’d known her for a decade, told her “tell your husband I said hi.” Lindy has never been married. Staff confiscated her phone in a ziplock bag every time she got near him — so nobody could show the world his condition. The family doctor vouched for his fitness out of LOYALTY, not

I've done maybe 2,000 sit-downs in my life. This one's different. Sam Shamoun has spent 30 years debating the biggest questions of faith — Muslims, atheists, skeptics, you name it — and people, I've never met anyone in this kind of command of scripture. Me? I found God in a prison cell, three years in the hole, reading a Bible because I had a healthy fear of hell. Two different roads. Same destination.In this sit-down: the evidence for the resurrection that even atheist historians can't deny, what

People, this is a big one.

I’ve been on trial five times, I know what a proffer is, I know what “queen for a day” means — and I asked Reggie the questions everybody wants answered. Was Keffe D really in the car?

People ask me all the time — Michael, if you started over today, what would you do differently? So let's have some fun with it. HYPOTHETICALLY. If I built a mob family in 2026, here's exactly how I'd run it. No drugs. No human trafficking — you're DONE. No phones — this thing in your pocket is a COP, and half the guys in prison put themselves there talking on it. I'd run it like a corporation. Quality people, vetted hard. Gambling? Our biggest business. The numbers, the unions, lawyers with clout
