Speaker 3 (03:00):
If you listen to the show previous to this with
Kathy Tarcanian and Carl koppan coupleman, a couple of things
we went over in that show that I'd like to touch
on for you tonight, if we can get through this
is a couple of things, is well. One thing is
I was trying to explain to mister Compliment. A lot

(03:22):
of times people come to me and they say, hey, Ed,
you know, I got this problem and I can't get
the police to do anything. I reported it to the
police and they won't do a damn thing for me.
And it's usually a situation like a cyber stalking thing
or some kind of dispute with another person. They've been
ripped off and they call the cops and the cops
try and blow them off. So well, it's a civil

(03:43):
you know, blah blah blah, all this kind of stuff.
And what I was trying to explain to mister the
compleman was what you can do is in a situation
like that, when people come to me, what I do
for them, okay, is I'll take an out do an affidavit, okay,
And you can make an affidavit and complaint, and you

(04:07):
can you can print this out. You can find it online,
and you print out an affidavit and complaint, you call
it that.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
You know.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
My name is that Opperaman. I'm a resident of state.
I'm fifty four years old, I'm employed, so and so
this is where I live, and I state on the
penalties of perjury. The following facts is what I know
to be true. And you can also mention in there
the applicable laws and statues that you feel have been broken.

(04:38):
You can hire paralegal for a couple of bucks to
do the research for you. Okay, I'm in a dispute
with such and such person. They've been contacting me unlawfully
and in violation of the nrs do whatever, and you
take that and you fed exit or priority mail with

(05:00):
a signature to the detective in charge or even to
the police station and to the precinct where you got
the problem. Inn where the cops not helping you when
you call up the cop and they come and they
show up and said, oh ayea, just turn your computer off.
Don't worry about it, all right. The next step is
you send that to the police station. You can also

(05:22):
send that to the district attorney's office, to the prosecutor's office.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
And this is helpful too.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
If you've got a problem with some guy, let's say
they're in another state and they're causing your problems, you
send it to the police department in their state, in
their city, in their precinct, right because that's where the
crimes occurring, that's where they're committing the crime. And you're
making that report, okay, I know to What will happen

(05:48):
is if you call him up and say, listen, there's
a guy over there in California causing me this problem.
They said, well, make a report to your local precinct
and then they'll refer to us. That's what they're gonna
tell you.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Over the phone.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Okay, you do this affidavid and complaint like I'm telling you,
and you send into that someone has to sign for
it over there in California, they have to look into
that crime.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
And like I said, you can cite the statues that
you that you know have been violated. You can also
send that to the prosecutor's office. Now, when you go
to the police department you report a crime, they're your
intermediary between you and the prosecutor's office.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, and they're gonna.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Look over your case and say, well, we're gonna refer
this to the prosecutor. Or we're not gonna refer this
to the prosecutor. But you yourself can refer a case
to the prosecutor. You do your affidavit and complaint, you
send it over there, have somebody signed for it. And
what's also helpful too, if you really want to get fancy,
you know, and then I'll take you through this step
by step. If you have a problem, you want to
hire me, but just for your own knowledge, your own benefit.

(06:49):
Like a guy like compliment, you know, when he wants
to inject himself into these cases. If you take these steps. Okay,
my name is Carl compliment. I've been doing this forensic
sketching or whatever it's called, right, I've been doing it
for so many years. I've examined this case. This is

(07:09):
what my findings are. I requested and take a look
into this case. You know, and say, you get action
in these.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Kind of things.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
But if you really want to get fancy, what you
could do is you could find out. You find out
who the prosecutor is and that jurisdiction, and you find
out maybe who was a former prosecutor, who was their
boss previously now and maybe he's in private practice. You
hire that attorney to put a cover letter on there
for you, okay, And this is how you get action
in this kind of stuff. So many times people come

(07:43):
to me and they say, and I reported this, or
I tried to hire lawyers, and I tried to report
this over and over, and I'm not getting anywhere with it.
No one will listen to me. It's all being covered up.
It has to be the illuminati in the NSA all
got together to shoot me down. Well, a lot of times,
what the problem is the way you're presenting your case.
You're not presenting it in a professional manner and Also,

(08:04):
if you're sending fourteen pages over nonsense and the all
kind of elaborate and no one's gonna read that, you know,
so you just do a nice one page Affidavid, this
is what I know with exhibits at the end, if
you want, you know, nice little summary of what you're doing,
that's the.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Kind of thing we can help you with.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Another thing too, that came up in this interview today
was how Kathy uh Turcanian her the daughter she had
given her for adoption was missing. So what she did
was she created a classmates dot com account for the
daughter in the daughter's name, so that people would contact
her through that account she would get information, which is brilliant.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
That's a very good idea. It's a very good thinking.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
We had a similar investigation where this woman who contacted
me and she was from Philadelphia, and she had a
very thick Spanish accent, and I figured her name was
like an Abisa a biro A Beera or something like that.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Libby. I think we call her Libby whatever it was,
Libya Beera. It might have been a very very nice woman.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
We had got along great, you know, a beautiful woman
like a dance instructor, and what happened was she had
married this guy who was an Israeli suits from like
Argentina or some Spanish company country. She married this Israeli guy.
They had a baby together, and he did a non
custodial abduction and took the kids to Israel. So when

(09:32):
the kids started turning thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old, she
wanted to find the kid. So what we came up
with a plan where what we did was we created
a bunch of websites Facebook pages.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Under that kid's name.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Okay, we didn't have a current picture of him, but
we had baby pictures of him and stuff like that.
We had pictures of his mother and so that if
the kid ever googled himself or his friend googled his name.
Let's say we met a new girl at school and
she went and looked up his name, all these hits
would come back saying, Hey, I'm your mother and I'm
looking for you. And we were successful. We located the

(10:06):
kid and it actually turned out to be The woman's
story was so fascinating that the Japanese you shouldn't do
a book about it.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
She was on TV and stuff like that. They did
a big.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Reunion they filmed at the airport and stuff like that,
and I helped to negotiate a story that we went
into a film about her on Japanese TV, which is
pretty much why I never talk about it. And anyway,
tomorrow five pm Pacific Standard time on American Freedom Radio,

(10:40):
we have Jesse Pollock, who's an author and he's read
a couple of books. One book is about the story
of Ricky Casso. You might recall the story of Ricky Casso.
I think it was from up state New York or
some place in New Jersey, something like that. Was he
got busted as a teenage kid, got involved with devil
worship and LSD and heabbed a guy owed him some

(11:01):
money and he stabbed me, and he made the kid say, oh,
I love Satan, I love Satan, and then he stabbed the
kid who was you know, while he was saying that,
and then ultimately hung.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Himself in his cell.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
So, but there's a lot of little intricacies to that
case that aren't well known. So we have Jesse Pollack
coming on tomorrow five pm Pacific standing time to discuss
that case.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Then on Sunday, I'm taping a story. Boy, this is interesting.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
And contacted by this guy and he's running around, he's
doing a lot of interviews, and basically what happened was
I don't want to say his name yet because the's
a lot of nonsense going on in the background. But
the guy is his girlfriend was shot and murdered and
he believes that she was MK ultra mind controlled. So
there is it is for a fact that the girlfriend

(11:52):
was murdered.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
We know that.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
The rest we have to look into. Now I'm gonna
I have tried to listen to other people interview this guy,
and the story is just all over the place, and
I have no idea, you know, from these interviews. Yeah,
I can't figure out what's going on. So we're gonna
try and take a statement down on Sunday in a control,
methodical manner, and I'll be talking to him on Sunday. Monday,

(12:21):
I'm taping with a local woman here in Nevada.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh boy, she's.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Sing a hospital here because her daughter, who was about
twenty years old, died of some turble illness because she
couldn't receive the proper treatment because she didn't have the
right kind of medical coverage. Just heartbreaking crap. So I'll

(12:47):
be talking to her on Monday. This week, I got
an interview coming up with the former mayor. I can't
this is kind of hush hush because this is a
big deal, and it's a big scoop because her book's
not even out yet, but she's doing a major tell
all book about she was the mayor of a very
prestigious city in the United States. Everybody will all around

(13:10):
the world have heard of this city. It's one of
the wealthiest cities in the world. And she's read that
tell a whole book. It's all the gossip about Hollywood
stars and all kinds of stuff that went on in
this town. And she's coming her first interview my friends
will be on the Operaman Report.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
How do you like that? Okay, Hey, we're moving up
in the world. They coming us now.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Man, oh boy, God, I can't wait to go to
bed tonight.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Also, then next Saturday, I have doctor Michelle Stevens, who
wrote a book about human trafficking. Now, she was just
on Doctor Phil last week. It was that episode where
she was the other guest on with everyone's talking about
that woman who was on there who was being human
traffic and flying around on jets and stuff like that,

(14:02):
and doctor Phil had her on. Everybody's making a big
deal out of it. This is the other guest, doctor
Michelle Stephens, who also was kept in a cage as
a child at eight years old and abused and mollentsted
most of her life. So we have her coming on
too and next week, and a lot of other stuff.
So I got a whole bunch of a whole bunch
of good stuff lined up. One thing that came out

(14:25):
this week in the news, in the past couple of days,
because the news is just like twenty four hours seven,
it's just crazy what's going on. The Obama the Trump
Care thing just got defeeded today. He had to pull
it out. I'm not gonna be able to finish. I'm
notable to cover half of these notes like that tonight,
not even.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Half of this stuff, okay.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Now, But one thing that came out is about these
threats that have been going on with these Israeli schools
and churches and temples and synagogues and all that kind of
stuff like that, and cemeteries then me getting these cell
phone death threats, and they just traced it to the

(15:05):
guy doing the threats to Israel, right, and they're saying, well,
he's mentally ill, he's disturbed, exists, he's at you know,
and he was couldn't even enlisted in the Israeli Defense
Forces because he had a mental illness in them. But
the guys there in his little house or apartment, whatever
it is, and he has some pretty elaborate equipment where

(15:26):
he's got these big antennas and he's tapping into other
people's wifis and other people's cell phones and other people's
computers in order to make these phonecals and these death
threats on the other end of the world.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Very interesting. You know. I gotta tell you something.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Years ago, when I first started doing Internet investigations and
locating people from email addresses and stuff like that, and
way back in the late nineties.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
It was really new.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Those Nigerian scam with these Nigerian people would contact you, you know,
but even before they did it on the internet, these
to do it over facts, you know, because I actually
had some contact with the Nigerian embassy back in New York.
Then they sent me a facts. Once they got my facts,
everybody started sending these facts with these Nigerian scams. And
the later on when the Internet came around, you get
these emails about it, and I would investigate. Back then,

(16:20):
people thought they could get their money back, you know,
and sometimes we were successful. But the thing is is.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Back then.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
It wasn't that well known, so more healthy, normal people
would fall for those scams. Now, the only people that
fall for those scams are like the people who have
Alzheimer's and have mental aloneness for the most part, and
they're very you know, they're pretty out there the ones.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
That fall for that stuff.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
But when I was investigating that stuff, very often we
would trace the money transactions not to Nigeria but to Israel.
A lot of those scams were really based out of Israel,
but they were made to look like they were coming
from Nigeria. So that's something I've always found interesting. It's
always been in the back of my head that I

(17:04):
wanted to get out.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
There for you. Well, today we had.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Obamacare lives right, which is really interesting because you know,
now Trump's guy is the head of the Department of
Health and Human Services, which runs Obamacare, so they can
sabotage Obamacare now and just destroy it. Now. I'm no
fan of Obamacare, believe me, but it seems like this
Trump Care Ryan Care package was even worse, and over

(17:34):
the past forty eight hours it's gotten even worse, worse, worse,
So thank god they pulled it out, and we're still
stuck with this freaking Obamacare. But they say that they're
not going to enforce the mandate, that the mandate to
force you to pay these insurance companies anymore, which certainly
I'm not going to do. But what blows my mind

(17:55):
is how people can call Obamacare and entitlement pro where
you have a program they pass a law that forces
poor people to buy insurance policies from rich companies, and
somehow they can call that an entitlement. It's now become
a point where they call Social Security to an entilement.

(18:16):
You know, you're paying to that, but now it's an
entitlement program. But now it's blatantly that when they pass
a law forcing me to buy insurance and pay a
rich billionaire the insurance company CEO guy. These guys are
making fifty sixty million dollars a year, you know, and
they're gonna tell me that that's an entitlement for me.

(18:38):
Then they're gonna worry that they can't take that away
from me because I'll get upset for they take it
away from you. Oh my god, It's how do people.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Fall for this stuff?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (18:53):
What a week.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
We got this other stuff going on here right with
the the head of the Intelligence Committee coming out and saying, well,
we got evidence that Trump really was wire tapped, and
then all the stuff with Paul Matterford. They're finding bank
accounts and he was working for the Russians, getting paid
ten million dollars worth, he was working for Trump. And

(19:20):
you know, it's just so overwhelming. It's swirling about all
these people around Trump, working with the Russians, working with Putin,
you know, all over the place, and it's just so
in many cases overblown and convoluted. But the thing is this.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Is that the momentum is on the side of.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
The anti Trump people. Okay, and like you can see today,
where he loses this has to pull out. This Trump
Care medical proposal.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Is built.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Trump spent his entire lifetime, Okay, he hasn't had to
work very hard. Hit a rich dad with all those
political connections. You know, he's had an easy life. And
he surrounded himself with fast talking, slick, fast talking con men, gangsters,
sleeves bags, and that's been his life. He's always been
sloppy and he's not up for this kind of fight.

(20:28):
He's just not up for him. And these characters around
him are not prepared to run the White House and
he's gonna lose this.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Now.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
When I say this right away, well Ed well is,
Hollary better has been is whatever is?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Whatever?

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Nonsense he tell me, Schumer better is, you know, Peloicy better,
pay attention to what I'm saying. I'm not a Democrat. Okay,
I'm not a liberal by the way either. I'm a socialist,
you know, you know, but I'm a conservative, a Christian.
I'm not a liberal.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
You know.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
I'm not a Democrat. This is nonsense. I don't even
know how people come up with that crap. This is insane.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
So without.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Immediately falling to that fallback, that the zombie position of Well,
I had the Democrats and Hillary and they're no better,
You're right. As a matter of fact, who's like a
pedestin his brother do the exact same thing.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
They're working for the Russians too.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
But my point is is that they're getting away with it,
you know, because they can kind of handle their business
a little bit better one and they spread the money
around everybody and what are they're doing? And Trump's just
not up for this fight. He's just not He's not
capable to pull this off. This is a con man
who conned his way into this and he knows it. Man,
he knows he's way over his head. So that's where

(21:53):
we are with that. Okay, it might be a good
attempt to take a break. I'm exhausted, you have no idea.
Got a couple of minutes. I might as well tell
you a quick story about the Wayne Manzomansue dot com

(22:19):
m A n s ue dot com. Fascinating guy. I've
been following this guy since the nineties. He said to
have a website on angel Fire. And he's a homeless guy,
you know, and he's been homeless since the nineties. And
he from my understanding is, you know, he went to

(22:40):
college and he was taking a really elaborate, seriously like
a PhD courses and stuff like that, and he had
some kind of breakdown and back in the nineties used
to set up these websites on angel Fire, remember angel Fire,
you know those free websites ticket set up. And it
was fascinating because he does these things where he sues,

(23:01):
he'll do a lawsuit against NASA. Another code defendant is Madonna,
and another code defendant is his mother and his aunt.
And then in these losses he describes these, you know,
elaborate conspiracies about how they're all conspiring together to get them.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
NASA and Madonna and is his cousin. We're all in
on this together. And it was just fascinating stuff.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
I would and he would update her all the time,
and he would always complain to about how the library
was deleting his stuff and he was being hacked and censored,
you know, but just the guy didn't have a lot
of skills, you know, making websites is really what the
problem was. And they need have screenshots of his lawsuits.
And he's elaborate theories. Man, he just went on and on.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
So you know, I used to check on this guy's
website twice a week. I was fascinated with this guy.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
And when you know, when when you say boy, you
know an internet character, you know, who's your favorite Wayne
Manzie mansu dot com. I love this guy, and so,
you know, every now and then I checked him out too,
even like I'd say, about two years ago, I probably
looked into this guy.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
See what he's up to.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Hey, what's going on with Mansu dot com? And so
today I'm flipping through Facebook and what you know with
my buddy.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Mark Ebner.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Hollywood interrupted the guy they wrote co wrote the book
with the Breitbart, you know.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
And everybody.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
His bark epting has been on the show about four
or five times now, and I love him. You know,
he's fascinating. It's another private mesigator over there in California.
Isn't all this kind of stuff? He found the Paris Hilton,
uh address book, you know, and he knows all the
stories about Paul Burrissy and stuff like that, you know,
all the same stuff we talked about here. Bill Cosby

(24:51):
just got was out into the Cosby case spin him
for anybody.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Out of the blue. He posts a screenshot of.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
His phone because Wayne ma and those sending him emails
and they look into this. I said, Wayne Manso, my
Wayne Manzo, it is, it's my Wayne Manzo and uh so,
anyway to check that out Waynemansu dot com.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Wayne Manzo just looking up. The funniest guy in the world.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Is his sight's not as as good as it used
to be, you know, it's kind of a one page
and it kind of gets into kind of a Nazi
Jews and stuff like that, and it's it's not as
good as it used to be, but still it's a fun,
fun read. Okay, let's take a little commercial break here
and hopefully I'll get to bed soon. They're right back
after these mistresses.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Tonight's show is called fifty Years of Raw Onion. Okay,
I'm fifty four years old. I've told this story once before.
I think I told this story on the air once before.
I've told the story to Victoria and other friends hundreds
of times because people love the story.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
And you know, Victoria just this week.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
When she was little, Okay, when we first started doing
this whole divorce custity thing, I used to have her
from Sunday mornings until I think it was Wednesday nights.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yere Wednesday nights that would drop her off.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
That's when we first got divorced. And so what we
would do is we don't be sad Wednesday, you know,
we take her to school. You know Wednesdays should be
you know, we'd be sad that day. So we were
start going to Denny's for breakfast on Wednesday mornings. When
we made a little day of it, we go to

(32:14):
Denny's before school, and we get the you know, she
would get the grand slab bruglets get it with the
pancakes and stuff, and whenever. You know, now we go
to Denny's all time. You know, we were traveling, driving
around stuff like that. You gotta go to Denny's where
us you can eat, right And normally I always get

(32:35):
the the Turkey Club sandwich, but every now and then
I'll get a hamburger, all right, So we went. She
had to go to her mom's house earlier this week
because they were cutting her hair over there. So this
Wednesday after school, we said, hey, you know, let's do
something special.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
We'll enjoy ourselves. We go to Denny's, you know. So
she ordered her vegan stuff whatever it was. I think
it was a veggie burger, and I ordered a hamburger cheeseburger.
She goes, Dad, tell the story about the onion when
you're a little boy, okay, and it's so funny, took
you And I've told her this story ten thousand times,

(33:16):
and I think I've told her on the air, but
not in this context. So me and my family, my
sister and my mom and dad, we got into the
car a little Pougeot four cylinder pougeot, and we drove
down to Florida from New York.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Okay, a little vacation we're going to take. This was
an adventure.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
It took us like five or six days to get down.
There no air conditioning in the car. It's a four
cylinder car.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
On the you know, me and my sister are in
the back.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
You know, just imagine being in a car with me
for five six.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Days in the back of a car.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
And I was only four years old, but still like
my crazy mother, you know. So we would stop at
these little diners and stuff alone the way, you know,
we stopped for lunch, and so I got into the
habit of whenever we stopped, I would get a hamburger
and French fries and a coke. This is my thing,

(34:13):
and I would you know, you know, you're a kid,
you're four or five years old, and they asked you
what you want? Well, do you have a hamburger? She's
a hamburger, fident coke. Yes, that's what I'll have. I
think they may not have it here at this place,
you know, but of course every you know, every place
is a hamburger, French friesid a coke.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
So at this one.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Diner, and I can remember the waitress like it was yesterday.
She was a young girl. She had long brown hair,
very nice, little Southern accent, figure, about nineteen twenty years old,
a little nervous around my family. These these New Yorkers
wound a little.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Bit too tight.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
I came, we were in Alabama or something like that,
you know, Georgia wound a little bit too tight, you know,
a bit I'm a car too long.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
You know.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
We're high strung people from New York, you know. And
here this poor little waitress mound up at our table.
My mother with her Cuban accent, my father, you know,
having his heart attack. He's never driven this far before,
you know, me and my sister, you know, looking.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
For a fight. So it's time to order our food.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
And the waiter looks at me, this little five year
old kid, you know, charming kid, I'm sure he was.
And she says, uh, well, what would you like? And
I said, well, I like a hamburger, French fries, and
a coke. And she said to me, well would you
like anything on the hamburger? And I had never no

(35:43):
one ever asked me before and I said something on
the hamburger, like what.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
And she goes, oh, you know, like.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
A tomato or lettuce or an onion, you know. And
I said, oh, an onion, And I just what kind
of on you? And she says, well, you know, you
can have like a slice of raw onion on your hamburger,
you know. And I said, oh, I'd.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Like to try that.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Okay, this is interesting to me, right, I was fascinated
by this. And after being in that car with those lunatics,
my family, crazy family for four days, five days. It
only takes three days to you know, two days to
get from New York to Florida. A a car take
us like seven days. Okay, let's not get into that.

(36:38):
So she's riding down my order that this poor kid
wants a slice of onion in his hamburger, and my
father freaks out.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
He's not gonna want that. He's not gonna eat that.
Don't give that. He's not gonna eat that. Don't give
an onion. He doesn't know what that is. He's not
gonna want.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
That the under the world, right, So the poor wagress's
having an art attack. Then my mother, Oh, let him
have the onion.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
The board.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Boy wants the onion.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Let him have the onions. Onions, how one an He wants.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
The whole, now, the whole, tables and chaos. My sister,
who knows what she was doing, she was had to
be egging on the situation too. But here I am,
my poor little kid. I was offered a slice of
an onion in my hamber.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
I wanted to try it. Well, you know what, it's
the end of the world.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
But in that day, in that little diner in Georgia
or Alabama, wherever it was, it was the end of
the world. The chaos are wrapped at that table. But
I stood my ground and I says, no, I want
the onion. My father, he's not gonna eat the onion.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
He can't eat it. He doesn't know what he wants.
I dug in my boots and I said, no, but
flip flops, probably little flip flops, sandals, Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
I want.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
Then I'll take on this grown man. And everyone's steaming
as the food's being prepared. There's silence at the table.
Everyone's steaming over my choice of an onion.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
On right.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Berger said, this crazy youth wants a this child, this
lunatic child wants a slice of onion on his hamburg
and the hamburger comes nice and warm.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
I can remember it. I can remember this day like
it was yesterday. I'm five years old.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
This is fifty years ago, guys, the hamburger. I can
remember taking a bite out of that hamburg and tasting
the onion, and it was it was unusual to me,
this crispy, cold onion.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
In my hot hamburger. I think there was a couple
of little pickles in there, or some ketch it and
it was different.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
But I said, you know what, I'm gonna show everyone.
I'm gonna eat this hamburger and I'm gonna enjoy it,
and I'm gonna eat every last bite.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
And I did.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
And do you want to know something else? And in
the last fifty years, every single time from that day forward,
I have ever fried up a hamburger or put a
hamburger on a grill, either I've actually I've thought of
this story, or I have actually sliced an onion and

(39:31):
put a sliced onion on my hamburger. No, it was
just to show him, to show my father He's not
gonna He's not gonna tell me what to do. Now,
that's what I would call what I what a medical
diagnosis would call a stubborn kid, you know. Or there's

(39:53):
some kind of problem there, right, there's a problem.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
But that's me.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
That's my personality, Okay, And that's maybe you quote a floor,
maybe you quote determination, and I've hiked to the top
of mountains of marathons, you know, rimmed the bowls, and
swim in three miles. It's determination right in some way.
Fifty years of eating an onion out a burger from
about one incident I was five years old, but I'm

(40:23):
still I won't forget. I'm telling a couple hundred thousand
people about it right now. The point I'm trying to
make with telling you that story is when you come

(40:45):
to me and say something like, hey, Ed, you know,
if you took it easy on Trump, if you didn't
report the stuff you're reporting on Trump, you'd have more subscribers.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Uh, if you're just given ed and take the easy
way out, okay, and just go with the flow, you don't,
I say, everybody in Alternative meeting and they're all kissing
Trump's ass. Hmm, I know, I notice it, Okay, and

(41:22):
I ain't seen them reeling.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
In those fish.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Okay, they got them on Nook, all those suckers out there,
their memberships.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Oh those advertise you know that.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
I use, you know, my should that does pretty well.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
And so I contacted one of the.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Big sponsors that you see with sponsors all the big stations.
I'm not gonna do so gold and silver and coins.
Everybody knows them, and they support Michael Savage and they
put him on the air and all these right wingers
and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
And I contacted them. You know, I don't want it.
I need a sponsor, man, I sponsor my show. Yeah,
we do.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Come up with a proposal for us, come up with
a price, then tell us what you want, right, But
you gotta tell me every now and then. You gotta
work in about the coming global collapse. The economic collapse
is coming.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
You gotta work that in.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
Thick over there, that there's a coming collapse so that
people will buy our gold coins and stock them up
and put them in their sock drawer. All right, that's
what they want me to do to get that sponsorship.
You ever notice on all these shows the end of
the world's coming. You gotta spy storable food. The end

(42:43):
of the world's coming on meteor is coming, earthquake, a
tidal wave is coming. Whatever it is, something's coming, an
emp an asteroid. The end of the world is one
way or another. The end of the world is coming
one way to the other. That's what you gotta do,
is you gotta buy these and you have to be
storable food. And it just happens to me what the

(43:04):
sponsors are.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Is that amazing? Ask yourself. I want you to ask yourself.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
It's a funny phenomenon here in the world, you know,
and just ask yourself. What is more likely to happen
to me? What are your interests? Your self interests? Be
a selfish person for five minutes, Like I am. I'm
a selfish person. I worry about my interest in my
family and my friends and the people I love and

(43:34):
the people who listen to this show.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
I worry about us and what affects us for real.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
In real life, in reality. Now, what's more likely to
happen to me? Am I more likely.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
To go to bed tonight.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
And wake up tomorrow and inherit a billion dollars?

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Or Am I more likely.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
To get involved in a divorce or a lawsuit? Or
an illness and lose my fortune and become a poor,
broken person, possibly a homeless person. What's more likely to
happen to me? Am I gonna inherit a billion dollars
from some stranger, some long lost relative? Or is it

(44:23):
more possible that all my life savings that I have,
my home and my savings by four and one k
a catastrophe could strike me and I'll lose that. Now
people like to think, well, you know what, I have
the potential I can become a billionaire, just like mister
Howell on a Gilligan's Island. That could happen to me too,

(44:44):
and it could. You can invent something, you could especially
something that you can do something in the media that
goes viral and takes off and you make a fortune,
like the dog Bounty Hunter, you know he did that
little stick and he got this TV series, or someone
like Donald Trump, you know who did The Apprentice and
then he was able to sell water and the stakes
and almost crapping the cells on his ties and stuff
he sells on there. You got a little cut deals

(45:05):
on everything. You know, you like j Wow, you know
from a Jersey shore.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
You know.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
You can instant fame and you can make a ton
of money. That stuff is possible. But what's more likely
to happen to you? Is it more likely that you're
gonna strike it rich, you're gonna strike all in your backyard,
or is it more likely you're gonna work your whole
life and you could possibly lose it. You can get
scammed out of you, you can get stolen from you,
you can get a divorce and get taken from you.

(45:35):
You can get an illness. Now you have medical bills
up your wazoo. What's more likely to happen to you?
Let we all know what's more likely. Okay, it's very
unlikely you're gonna find a distant relative that has a
billion dollars. It's gonna leave it to you like mister
Trump did. What's more likely you're gonna get sick, you're

(45:57):
gonna get cancer, a car accident and need medical care,
or that you're gonna own become a CEO of a
medical insurance company.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
What's more likely to happen to you in your life?

Speaker 3 (46:16):
It is far more likely that you're gonna need medical
care than it will be that you'll be on the
side of the guy that's making billion.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Dollars off of your sickness. What's more likely.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
You're gonna get arrested for something stupid. You know, you
get into a fight with someone you know here, you
get drunk and you get pulled over your you know,
these little things, you know, they get you in the jackpot,
and you're gonna be wind up in court sitting at
the defense table. Or you're forty fifty years old, whatever,

(46:52):
you're gonna become a copper or prosecutor, and you'll be
sitting at the prosecutor's table.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
It's far more likely.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
One out of five that you're gonna be sitting at
the defense table. But somehow, so many people out there
identify with the billionaire who inherited his money they had,
mister Howell. They identify with the rather than the person
who's the patient. They identify with the insurance company owner

(47:20):
rather than identify with which you are way more likely
to be sitting at the defense table than you'll ever
be sitting at the prosecution table.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Because because try calling up the.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Cops and you've got a problem, and see if they're
going to solve your problem for you and put somebody
at the defense table on your behalf. Tell me the
last time that ever happened for you. I'm in the business,
and I'm telling you it's very slim that you can
get that to happen. You're far more likely to be
sitting at the defense table than you will ever be

(47:49):
sitting at that prosecution table with the cops and the prosecutor.
But for some reason, people identify with the cops and
the prosecutors over.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
These young, unarmed men.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
You say getting shot down in the street, Now, why
is that? Stop and think what is more likely to
happen to me? And ask yourself why you identify with
the billionaire who inherited all his money, or the CEO

(48:24):
of the insurance companies making fifty sixty million dollars a
year in income, or why you identify with the cop
or the prosecutor that is more likely to put you
in jail and have you sitting at the defense stable
at least going through these classes and all this crap
and his anger management and these DUI classes and all

(48:46):
this nonsense.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
That they put you through. Hey, how are these fines
and all this stuff? So one I'm telling you.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Is to try and stop and think and and look
into your own self interested what's.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
Man, so often people you know, the last week's show,
people really loved it. The show about that what's the
value of human life? And it was kind of interesting
too because right before I did the show, I opened
up a window to get some fresh air and then
we have here in the vatter we have this is
allergy season, and some pollen got in my eyes. So
I was like, right before doing the show, I was

(49:33):
not crying. I was trying to wash the stuff out
of my eyes like that. So people heard the show,
they heard me crying.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
It was a great effect for the show. I was emotional,
but it wasn't that mad, you know. It was a little,
a little, but.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
It's just so frustrating that a week after week after week,
I know, I have these thoughts and want to get out,
and I just it just goes right over so many
people's heads, a lot of people. I know a lot
of people here, and they love it. He said, what, Dad,
When we respect what you're doing, we understand what you're doing,
But when you just reach so many people, it's just
it's it's very frustrating to do this every week, and

(50:16):
well we're almost out of time. But I'm almost thinking
too that maybe we'll just do a whole shift then
maybe Friday Nights. This is right now, this is in
my notes, This is off the cuff, but maybe Friday
Nights will put this stuff in a member section, you know,
rather than putting it out to the public, like, rather
than having this show be on YouTube and speaker and

(50:38):
a lot of stuff like that, it'll just go straight
through the member section. Well, I think are people that
appreciate the show more and I have a better understanding
what I'm trying to do and what I'm trying to say.
The Saturday show is still be out there, and then
the live shows will be out there on all the stations,
but instead of being you know, available free on archives,
like a lot of guys do, they put all their
archives stuff for pay. So that might be an option

(50:59):
we might be consider to do anyway, Who knows where
I'm going with this stuff like that. If you like
what you hear, Tonighty the member section Operamanreport dot com. Uh,
it's like six bucks a month, it's twenty bucks for

(51:20):
three months or seventy five bucks for a year. And
besides extra shows and extra content going in there, which
just goes in there all the time.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
This week. I'm taping every day this week, and.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
There's also kind of court documents in there and videos
and stuff like that, a lot of great extra content.
So check that out and if you want to support
the show, that's how you can do it. Oppermanreport dot Com.
All right, guys, thank you so much. I add another
little segment here is gonna give you, but we don't
have time for it.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
Yeah, it's kind of.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Kind of angry too, so I'm gonna I'm gonna leave
that part out, all.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Right, guys.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
I see tomorrow five pm Pacific Standard time, we'll be
talking to Jesse Pollock about the the Ricky Castle case.
And if you want to check out some documentaries or
movies about that case. It is a really good movie
about a quote, uh, Ricky six. And it's even a
movie too with Wahlburg. I think Donnie Wahlberg or Mark Wahlberg,

(52:22):
one of those characters where he is it's not a.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
It's not like a related to this story.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
It's not it's the exact story, but it's very similar
to it. Okay, after this coming up too, will be
William not William Ramsey. Uh, what's that guy's name, Pierce Redmond,
has a really good show, and all the stations carrying
this show will be carrying that show after this.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
All right, guys, thank you so much. I'll see you
next week.
