Who is Michael Franzese?
Delighted to welcome into the studio today, Michael Franzese. He is a former mob boss from New York, Colombo crime family, prominent leader known as the Prince. Oh, there he is. You're gonna see that he is here with me today. I thought it was gonna be a surprise after we got the show really going. He now hosts the Michael Franzese Show on Rumble. I've been a guest on there. He's also a motivational speaker. Guess what? He found a way out of prison. He's transformed his life. He's now a winemaker. I'll tell you about that in a minute. And you can follow him on Michael Franzese, F-R-A-N-Z-E-S-E. I spelled that right? Franzese.com. And Michael Franzese on X and Michael Franzese.com. And I will tell you all about, well, I think I have a second talk about the wine.
The website is franziswine.com. Very popular alcoholic and non-alcoholic wine that is getting great traction. He'll tell us about that. And we will talk about this, how our country has become a familiar way of doing business to him. Talk about that right after this. Our laws as it pertains to substances are draconian and bizarre. A psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor for five months. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time.
Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say. I'm excited to bring you a new product, a new supplement, Fatty. I take it. I make Susan take it. My whole family takes it. This comes out of, believe it or not, dolphin research. The Navy maintains a fleet of dolphins, and a brilliant veterinarian recognized that these dolphins sometimes developed a syndrome identical to our Alzheimer's disease. Those dolphins were deficient in a particular fatty acid. She replaced the fatty acid. And they didn't get the Alzheimer's. Humans have the same issue. And we are more deficient in this particular fatty acid than ever before.
And a simple replacement of this fatty acid called C15 will help us prevent these syndromes. It's published in a recent journal called Metabolites. It's a new nutritional supplement. C15, pentadecanoic acid, it's called. The deficiency that we are developing for C15 creates something called the cellular fragility syndrome. This is the first nutritional deficiency syndrome to be discovered in 75 years and may be affecting us in many ways, and as many as one in three of us. This is an important breakthrough. Take advantage of it.

As I said, Michael Franzese's show on Rumble. Check it out. Sign up. Follow him on X, Michael Franzese, F-R-A-N-Z-E-E, F-R-A-N-Z-E-S-E, and MichaelFranzese.com, and FranzeseWine.com. I'll hear all about how this all happened, but why don't we explain, and I want to get deep into the book. Where's my camera? Is that my camera there? Mafia Democracy, which is something that's been... It's occurred to me more than once that that's what we're dealing with. And so I love the opportunity to talk to somebody who actually understands how that is or is not so, where that is or is not so. But I think the important thing is to start with where you started. So how did you start? How did you end up here?
And my dad was a very powerful figure in the Colombo family. He was the underboss, which is the second in command.
And in Manhattan or is this Staten Island? It's really Brooklyn. Brooklyn.
I mean, there were five families throughout New York and we were based mostly in Brooklyn and then Long Island. And my dad was very, very high profile. He was throughout my childhood, always under investigation, major target of law enforcement. I always say he was kind of like the John Gotti of his day. And in and out of prison, constantly getting indicted.
