Former Columbo crime family boss Michael Franzese joined Joe Pags for an exclusive interview, shedding light on the striking similarities he sees between the Biden family’s operations and organized crime. Drawing on his past life as a high-ranking mob figure, Franzese described the Biden administration’s approach as a "mafia democracy," where the real power brokers remain hidden from public view.
Franzese highlighted how, in organized crime, bosses keep a low profile while figureheads deflect attention — a dynamic he argues is mirrored by President Biden’s administration. They "said it would be the most transparent administration ever, but I think it's the most secretive we’ve ever seen," Franzese remarked. He emphasized how the true decision-makers remain hidden, much like the structure of a mob family.
The interview also covered the alarming rise of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang establishing control in U.S. cities like Aurora, Colorado, and San Antonio, Texas. "If Biden would order the FBI to go after these gangs, they would clean it up in a week, they don't want to - they don't care," Franzese claimed, highlighting the dangers posed by this group’s rapid expansion. He noted that during his time in organized crime, a President would handle groups like Tren de Aragua by "round[ing] them up immediately and taken care of it."
