It wasnt a mafia plot. It was a CIA plot that used the mafia for some key parts of the plot.

It would have taken some sort of power to manipulate and control the Secret Service. Seconds before the shots fired you see one secret service agent call off the other. There were many powerful parties involved, not just the mob.

I believe that there's alot more to the JFK assassination then the Warren commission says and the fact that the federal government is still shielding documents that could shed light on what really happened speaks volumes.

The Mob may have been involved but to allow the change security and what not the CIA and FBI had to be the main instigators, something this guy failed to mention

I can’t believe media are glamorizing this criminal.

In answering those popular questions about his Mob life (did he kill someone, etc.), Franzese reveals more by what he doesn't say than what he does. He always responds with broad, generalized non-answers and goes on a spiel about "doing what had to be done," or something to that effect. If it didn't happen, he could honestly deny it, and that would be the end of it. I get his reasoning, though. It's one thing to know where most (if not all) of the bodies are buried. It's entirely another to know that you're the one who buried them. In the end, I understand his reluctance when fielding those questions. If I had a history like his, I don't think I'd want all of that to come back and haunt me. The legal ramifications alone would ruin my new life and the reputation I'd built since then. Either way, I wish Mr. Franzese the best of luck in his new life and may he continue to prosper. 😎👍

Just to be clear (and I'm sure someone else has already pointed this out in the comments) MIchael was never a boss. He rose to the rank of Caporegime (Captain) and was the "boss" of a street crew, but was never the boss of a family.

Michael one of the most amazing guys alive.... Love everything about him can't wait to meet him In Edinburgh.

I follow Michael page and missed this episode as I do watch Jeremy vine

Mate the mob might have been involved but no way they has access to the security detail of JFK to be lax for the assignation , both were involved

My dad always said it was Mafia an we know now it was Mafia LBJ covered up by secret service an Dallas police

The problem with society is putting men like this on a pedestal after a life of crime as if he were a hero.

guys saying who killed JFK, a question as big as Did we go to the moon, and it just gets brushed off, a sad society We live in

Not many have the presence and calm persona Michae Franchese has. He is one knowledgeable, switched on guy who has seen things we only read about.

Michael Franzese was not Mob Boss. He was a Capo of his crew while his father, John "Sonny" Franzese was Under Boss. Sonny was serving 50 years prison term. He finally paroled before his death. Soony didn't want Michael be part of that life. Michael went to medical school to become a doctor. But his father went to prison changed those plans. Michael came back home to support his mom and siblings. Michael stated that he was involved in mostly scams. Woman and turn to Christian Life help Michael away from his past. Michael talks about some of his former life on his channel. But he still keeps his Omerta Oath on certain things. So, his former family or others would not harm him.

Great interview Mr. F.

where is full interview

New subscriber

Love michaels channel great to see him on our tv.xx💙🙏🏽🇬🇧❤️

The JFK Assassination was a Special Operations hit!

I saw an interesting documentary a while back that was strong on the theory that it was a classic fly-in, fly-out mafia hit. They suggested a group of three (I think) flew in from Italy. They claimed it was very possible that one of the shots came from a storm water drain on the side road that has been overlooked. The pipe was large enough for someone to travel down it and then escape undetected.

Love listening to Michael. He does have a "poker face" but I'm sure he could look at you and there would no doubt at all that you had had crossed a line somehow.

Bro literally asked him if he murdered someone and thought he’d answer it

If you close your eyes, he sounds a lot like Robert DeNiro

Nobody saw oswald shoot anybody....

This guy took an oath to keep silence and broke that oath and put his story online for everyone to see .... I give it to him he never incriminate anyone or himself ....... respectfully gotti ruined it ..i know people say Sammy but they where gunna hit em and saw it as chess and he won... but in lame man's terms if you don't hear anything about them there doing there job ....john gotti was signing autographs hanging with celebrities he was the one who made it surface for the world to see with his fur coats and cars which gave mayor Rudy cause to go after them plus he was deling coke and herion and killed his own boss for the seat because castellano knew he was dealing drugs ..what he was doing which is a huge no no the godfather callled this when vito says simple vices like women alchol gambling most cop politions would turn there back on but drugs is a a whole diffrent game and he says yes its good money but he will loose all the back up he had...gotti made it hot so hot gulanni made it his mission to cut the snakes head off and as sammy says we played chess he lost hes alive and gottii died in jail

He is a criminal and he doesn't know anything. He is being rewarded for being a criminal that hurt people.

Michael,we’re all like mob guys these days,we all have to watch ourselves shopping,anywhere.

Amazing how he’s allowed to travel, with him being an ex federal prisoner. Amazing

When he says it was a “mob hit” he means the FBI

He shows us a world where thankfully most if not all of us will never be involved in.

No person leaves Mafia follows till one's Grave taking all the dark secrets

Michael franzese is a liar

The version I believe was Charlie Nicoletti, Johnny Roselli, and James Files were in Dallas Nov 22, 1963. Files was ex-military special ops CIA mission man and Chicago outfit enforcer. Files had his picture taken by Oswald, who showed him around Dallas before the assassination, which puts him there at that time. I believe Files used a Remington Fireball, given to him by his handler David Atlee Phillips, with a mercury round to shoot Kennedy from the grassy knoll. He had the training, the associations, and his knowledge of Dallas and Dealey Plaza and the pertinent players, are remarkable. I'm sickened by the media's laughable insistence that Oswald did it. L Fletcher Prouty of the CIA said it was a professional hit and that Oswald was a patsy. Prouty was in Antarctica on CIA assignment to keep him out of the loop and knew something was up the day after the assassination when he already saw Oswald's picture in an Australian newspaper. Oswald was at the 2nd floor lunchroom of the Schoolbook Depository the whole time. Oswald made it to the Texas Theater hoping to rondezvous with David Atlee Phillips, also his handler, but he was double crossed. Oswald spoke fluent Russian and served as a radar operator at Atsugi Naval Base. They didn't assign dummies to Atsugi and Oswald was no dummy. His military file contains treatment for an STD, but there's a notation, "service connected, non-disciplinary" as he likely contracted VD while gathering intel from Japanese prostitutes with Communist ties.

Mind blown

Every time he hears a door bang.....

If anything they only did some contact work, they didn’t run the operation

The life sounds like hell.

Orders from Johnson!

This story is decades old

Vine is wearing a shirt he got from Alex Belfield !

It was not a mob hit!

If he says it was a mob hit I would say it’s true he’s a stand up guy Michael is the top of the foam In the mafia no doubt!

Not a crazy theory. Keep in mind while the police was transporting LHO, Jack Ruby ran up and shot him dead with LHO still in cuffs. Ruby did a lot of business with the mob and for him to throw everything away and risk going to prison by shooting him in the open in front of everyone says a lot. That’s a man hired to keep him from talking at all costs.

Does Franzese go more into the "back story" about JFK and Ruby elsewhere that he alludes to here?

Boss?

I heard Michael had opened up a restaurant in Newport Beach, Ca

what a load of crap

Who’s here after Mafia 3 ?

Mob+CIA=Internal love

Woody Haroldson’s Father,a Texas Hitman,on the JFK,and hear Hoffa stories of being buried in Korhonson N.Y.

Why is he being called a boss? He was a a Capo. The most that he commanded was his own crew. Secondly, the only reasons that I can figure that they haven't come for him is respect for his father, he didn't and hasn't harmed other members (as he says), and it's not the same Cosa Nostra.

I love everything about Mr. Franzese. I wish i could meet him and have a sit down!

While he is calm in his demeanor and has inside information, I would beg to differ on his claim. A friend of mine who was a county sheriff and I watched a documentary of the assassination and when it came to the scene of the fatal head shot, he put it on pause and said "that was a military style hit". I asked why he thought so and he said "because they used rifles. Mob hits are up close".

"I'll be honest with you," meaning he has not been honest with you "at times"?

A CIA-MOB hit.

Nah... Seems he's breaking the very rules he said would get him whacked.

how is this man a good looking dude at 70?

Ruby involved = Mob involved

You got the best poker face! That be the botox luv!

Blah blah blah.

Everyone always tryin to trip Mike up on the murder question 🤣🤣. You can't outwit Capo Franzese on this one people.

Ridiculous. No mob hit

I have a late cousin who was fairly well acquainted with Jack Ruby. And that is the sum and substance of my disclosure on that. Interesting back story, though.

Lots of new technology out there these days. 😐

This man stole hundreds of millions, saw death too much, probably killed too to prove himself worthy etc.... everyone smiling as if hes elvis or something. Michael does seem very nice guy tho

Of all the shows Michael F chooses to go on it's f Jeremy Vine .. !

Michael is an inspiration to me and Others. God loving, family oriented, business minded. 💙👊

Something about all of this dont add up..

I definitely believe him because he was in the mafia.

Alot of unanswered questions about the Assassination but we can confirm that it was NOT a mafia hit.

Santo Trafficante and Carlo Marcello. Jack Ruby had very close connections to these two men.

he was not a mob boss was a captain

She wasn"t ready to have servants refuse to serve her, or to be consistently placed at the foot of the table. Ann is angry because Meghan walked away from something they revere.

😂 this guys just looking for screen time. It was the CIA, another kind of mafia much bigger and more impressive than his version of organized crime.

I believe in God, but God doesn't tell u to be stupid.

Maffy-uhh!

“God tells you to use your head and not be stupid” to every wannabe that things iron balls means anything. What’s good about it if you’re gone?

He was never a Mafia Boss. He was a Cappo ... Cosa Nostra legend, though!

2:35….because I did

This Mafia boss..An American hero

Look...it's Mr Four Stories.

Sounds as plausible as any other theory. Some things we are likely never to know about.

I never knew Mike was a boss.

You got some gig Michael. Good move.

He really should have just finished college and been a nurse.

Of course it was. Not even a debate.

It was LHO and LHO alone. Read Gerald Posner’s book Case Closed.

By mafia he means CIA.

He was never ever a mafia boss ever

Franzese wasn't made in 1975 the books were closed.

Bobby was the mob hit.

Thank you for the misleading title I didn't hear anything about JFK?

Jackie did the messy headshot 100 percent

I think is was joint effort between CIA and mob, as they have no problem working together.

Carol, the Queen tried very hard to get HER way, she did not try and helped Harry, what Harry wanted and needed.

There were multiple people with motive to kill JFK. Whether there was any cooperation involved is a good question.

AMEN, OUR BROTHER👍🙏. BEING A CHRISTIAN 🌌 DOES NOT MEAN BEING STUPID. 😇😎🎤.

I think Hes a poser. Mob guys with respect would never talk to anyone. Im in australia and i met some very respectful Italians when i was young lets say. They were. I dont think italian business guys behave like this. But never ask a favour is my advice.
