Buckle Up! The Muckyou Podcast Takes You on a Wild Ride Through Scandal Town! 🎢🕵️‍♂️

David Wheeler: 00:00:00

Hey, folks, this is David Wheeler. Welcome back to mucu.

Mo and I have had a little bit of a vacation the last couple weeks, but we're back, and we've got a really, really interesting guest today. And for that, I'll turn it over to Mo. Jacob.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:00:16

Hey, thanks. Let me just put out a clarification here. You know, David said we've been on vacation, not together. That's how rumors get started.

David Wheeler: 00:00:25

Yeah, yeah.

David Wheeler: 00:00:26

No, that's true. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:00:28

No, no, no.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:00:30

I just want to make.

David Wheeler: 00:00:30

No, I've been with kids in Iowa. We went to state fair. We actually had a ball. We went to a combine demo derby in Iowa.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:00:39

So anyway, yeah, we went to England, which was a lot of fun. But when I came back, I guess it was Monday. I was going to the hardware store, and I got to the bottom of the hill at the intersection.

I thought, something's not right.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:00:51

And it dawned on me.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:00:52

I was on the wrong side of the road. So it took a little bit.

David Wheeler: 00:00:56

Well, that's the story of my life. We digress. Yes. All right, take it. Take it.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:01:01

Yeah, sure. Well, listen, it's a. You know, Ed Opperman's joining us today. Should be an interesting show. Ed's a. An investigative reporter.

He has a private detective agency, computer and cell phone forensic company, and he's also the host of the Opperman Report, the place for scandals, politics, and true crime stories. So, Ed, thanks for taking time out and joining us today.

Ed Oppermann: 00:01:25

Hey, thanks for having me, guys.

David Wheeler: 00:01:26

Yeah, absolutely.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:01:27

Well, listen, I'm just curious, you know, some of the scandal stuff, you know, back in the day, you remember, like monkey business, you know, when. When Hart, you know, was down in Florida and. Oh, yeah, that ended his career. It seems like now that, you know, all the scandals that are.

It's like daily fare just don't seem to have any impact anymore. Is that. Is that your impression?

Ed Oppermann: 00:01:50

Yeah. Trump, the king of all tabloid media, has changed the ball game. Like you, you know, Gary Hart. Yeah.

As a matter of fact, I'm interviewing Dan o', Hanks, private investigator on Saturday, and he's the one who used to kill all the Trump stories for the tabloids for ami when he was. Worked with them for years and years. Wow.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:02:11

Do you think they matter anymore? I mean, it's the public just kind of gotten, you know, immune to. To scandal. Yeah.

Ed Oppermann: 00:02:18

The old expression that either be caught with, what was it, A live boy or a dead girl, you know, and that's. God, totally out the window now.

They're making excuses for, you know, Trump just came out last week talking about how Epstein stole Virginia Jew free from him. You know that. And we can imagine that 10 years ago. My God.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:02:43

I know.

Ed Oppermann: 00:02:44

Yeah.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:02:44

It seems like we're in an environment that, and again, you know, I'm, you know, I'm a Democrat and a candidate running for office that it seems like Republican, Republican. There's nothing a Republican can do wrong and nothing, nothing a Democrat can do right. That all these scandals just seem to bounce off.

And what do you, what do you think with the, you know, it seems like the Epstein thing has gotten more traction than some of the others, you know, with Joe Rogan and some of the other traditional Trump supporters seem to have kind of latched on to it.

Ed Oppermann: 00:03:12

And don't want to let go in the beginning. Yeah.

You know, when he, when he would release the so called files, you know, in the list and all that stuff, they, the, those influencers did seem to be turning against him. But the thing is they're just so entrenched, they're so embedded in this MAGA movement.

That's where money, that's where the paychecks come from and it just blows over, you know, and now they're, they're openly making excuses. Hey, even if Trump did screw a 14 year old, you know, he's doing the price of eggs are down. You know what I mean? It's just.

What the hell's going on, man?

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:03:46

Yeah, you had some involvement with the Stormy Daniels case, so could you tell the listeners a little bit about that? And, and at the time, did you think that was going to be a turn out to be a bigger deal than it, than it proved to be?

Ed Oppermann: 00:03:57

Yeah, yeah. It's like, it's like Charlie Brown with the football. We always think it's going to be a big. This is the time.

We always think this is the scandal that's going to take them down and it never happens. Yeah, I know everybody involved in that deal. Gina Rodriguez is this manager, this agent and she was my agent.

She was my manager for a while there too. She was my client too. She got me involved in a lot of stuff. The lawsuit against Charlie Sheen and some work we did against Ashton Kutcher.

We, I did some cell phone forensics in that case. I did all the cell phone forensics in the Tiger woods mistresses case. All those, that was all for Gina Rodriguez.

She got me hooked up with all those people and she was the agent for Stormy Daniels and she was the one along with Keith Davidson, who's Been a client of mine for years and also been a sponsor on my show, the Opera Report. He's a sponsor of the show, and he was the attorney that negotiated that deal way before Avenatti came on board and screwed things up.

So, yeah, I know everybody involved in that deal. Dylan Howard, I know him. Keith Schiller.

I did work with Keith Schiller back in the old days, before he had any connection to notoriety in the White House or anything like that, is way back in the old days. So knew everybody involved in that deal. And the very start, I was saying, hey, this is a legit deal, man.

These aren't political people, Gina and Kate. They are political people to make up a story. So I knew it was legit. And.

But you'd think, you know, 34 felonies, you think that would have an effect, right? No, it doesn't.

David Wheeler: 00:05:22

Yeah. Oh, Ed, we. We got to know each other during the Lauren Boebert days.

Ed Oppermann: 00:05:28

Oh, yeah.

David Wheeler: 00:05:29

And I enjoyed coming on your show and pontificating.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:05:33

So.

David Wheeler: 00:05:33

So where does. You know, one of the things that I'm always interested in our guests is, you know what. Where's the motivation come from? Where.

How'd you end up in this industry as well?

Ed Oppermann: 00:05:43

Oh, boy, that's a. I've had a long run, pal. I've had a. I've been involved in a lot of stuff, man.

I guess I was a political activist with the Yippees back in City back in the 70s, as an anarchist, a street political activist, and got involved with them.

And that's how I first came into a source in the telephone company that if someone needed a name and address from an unlisted phone number, I had a source in the phone company that could produce that information. And then we could even produce local usages, all the phone calls coming from that phone number.

And then at the top, it would have their place of employment, their Social Security number, sometimes even their bank account number. So I had access to that information was gold. And I went around trying to sell to some PIs.

I met this private investigator in Brooklyn who worked on these huge organized crime cases, the Carmine Persico case and the. The Pizza Connection. And at the Matt Pizza Gate, people get confused.

This is the Pizza Connection, a heroin smuggling operation that went on back in the late 70s, early 80s. And all those cases against Giuliani and Michael Chertoff, I worked all those cases. That's the first time I met Giuliani back in those days.

And so that's when I got involved in the PI business. That Was my little foot in there because I had that access to that golden information that nobody had back in those days.

If we had identity theft back in those days, I'd be living on an island with them, you know, because the kind of info you could get back in those days, man, it's just unbelievable.

David Wheeler: 00:07:12

Huh. So you started out as. It sounds like a liberal.

How does a liberal work in a, you know, private detective, law enforcement space where it's mostly white conservative dudes?

Ed Oppermann: 00:07:24

Oh, no, criminal defense. I always worked criminal defense. I've never worked for the police. The only brush a few times I worked, as a matter of fact, get this, man.

The only time I've ever cooperated with prosecutors is Epstein related cases in the Virgin Islands. And the case they first got me started with this. I was a witness for the prosecution down in Florida.

That's the only time I've worked for the prosecution that I could think of. And then liberal. I'm more of a socialist. I'm a socialist right now. I'm, I'm not a capitalist whatsoever. I'm not a Democrat or a Republican and.

But all my work has always been criminal defense. I was always on the side of the. Against the government.

David Wheeler: 00:08:02

Wow, interesting. So what, what's your take on all this, Epstein? Where.

Where do you think it's going to land and where do you think Trump and others are vulnerable just based upon your general knowledge?

Ed Oppermann: 00:08:17

oadcast on Jeffrey Epstein in: 2013

David Wheeler: 00:08:25

No, I don't. Who is it?

Ed Oppermann: 00:08:26

Oh, he co. He ghost wrote for Roger Stone, Right? He goes through it all. Yeah. And so he's. He hates Epstein and he's.

He was very involved in this Katie Johnson case to his wall, but he was the only person out there who even knew the name Epstein and the only guest I could find. I searched all over. So I haven't been involved in this Epstein stuff way back from the start.

And now, though, the story is controlled 100 by the Epstein people. If you look around, who's. Who do you see now? Just today I was looking on Tick Tock. And who's on there?

Michael Wolf, who was friends with Epstein, was friends with Bannon. You know, Bannon was friends with Epstein.

Who's calling for the list, man, Epstein's brother, who's sitting on a bunch of shell corporations and a bunch of buildings, man. Where did. What is the source of income that this guy has? 500 million bucks, man, Epstein's brother.

And we're going to be relying on him for information about Epstein's death and Epstein's disappearance from that. That jail cell in mcc, you know. So everyone out at Dershowitz. Oh, I got the list. These are all the guys who.

On Epstein's side, these are all his pals. This is his closest friends, you know?

David Wheeler: 00:09:43

Right. So. So you think they're trying to divert our attention by pretending they're as outraged, but they're not really that outrage.

Ed Oppermann: 00:09:51

Oh, 100%, man. 100%. The story is controlled by the Epstein people and has been for quite a while.

David Wheeler: 00:09:57

Huh. Well, where do you think it's headed?

I mean, you know, yesterday CBS had a really good report that there was a third person, well, a second guard with Epstein in that video. And lo and behold, you know, we find out that. I think it was three of the four cameras that would have picked this up were inoperable.

What's going on here? Any idea?

Ed Oppermann: 00:10:20

Yeah, I. Okay, I. I have a lot of experience with mcc. Okay. I worked. I was in there back with that.

That's when those organized crime cases and my friends were in there. You know, Hoffenberg was in there.

I've done 15 interviews with Stephen Hoffenberg, Episcene's former partner and mentor, and he was in there for his crimes. It's. It's one of the most corrupt jails that we've ever experienced. Okay. A lot of contraband in that jail. Another thing too, that I could tell you.

I don't know anything about this video. Okay. I've spent a lot of time about that.

I know Julie K. Brown is screaming from the rooftops about it, that it's not even pointed in the right direction. The video has nothing to do with Epstein, and I trust it for the most part.

But one thing I can tell you that's unreported about Epstein and that jail is Efrenstone Reyes, the mystery man. Nobody even knows his name.

If you Google who was the last inmate, the last cellmate of Jeffrey Epstein, the only thing you're going to come up with is that Taglia daddy guy, the big muscle bound murderer who was a one time cellmate. But the last cellmate was this guy, Efronstone Reyes, who was getting money in his commissary by Epstein's lawyers.

He was removed from the cell that day because the guy was a snitch. He was working on his own cases. I see. He wasn't there the day of the death though. The disappearance, whatever you want to call it. But guess what?

Good old Efronstone Reyes is dead today too. He has another death died of COVID Supposedly he was released on one of those Covid release deals and now he's gone as well, resting in peace.

But the story with him was unconfirmed, is that he was in there jonesing on heroin and Epstein was able to get him a smuggle some Suboxone in there for him. That's been widely reported.

I can't confirm it or deny it, but the fact that nobody knows he's in the report, he's in that final Epstein report, which I have for free up on my Patreon, but otherwise unreported. Nobody talks about this guy at all.

David Wheeler: 00:12:12

So how is it connected? Tie this together.

Ed Oppermann: 00:12:15

He was Epstein's last cellmate that no one talks about. He was interviewed by Bill Barr after Epstein's death and now he's dead. Okay.

And he also talks about Epstein having enough juice in that jail to to smuggle in Suboxone for him. And he was removed from the cell the day of the disappearance of the death.

David Wheeler: 00:12:32

Interesting. Ah, crazy.

Ed Oppermann: 00:12:34

Crazy.

David Wheeler: 00:12:35

So.

Ed Oppermann: 00:12:36

So.

David Wheeler: 00:12:36

All right, so you have it told me where this is headed yet or our listeners, where. Where do you think Trump ends up in all of this?

Ed Oppermann: 00:12:43

Again, good question.

I just interviewed Jeff Gilson who was known Maxwell for years, his friends was murdered by that bunch of arms smugglers with Robert Maxwell and he knows Ari Bin Menashi and that crew and stuff. And he goes back to talking about the Russian money laundering involved in all this.

Now I what I find interesting is because there's a Murdoch connection to all this, way back to Robert Maxwell. Murdoch inherited all of Maxwell's dir. Dirty tricks and dirty, dirty paperwork and blackmail dirt and a lot of his media empire stuff.

And Murdoch was involved with the Hoffenberg. The Hoffenberg rescued the New York Post and then Murdoch took it over.

And now we see Murdoch drip, drip, drip, releasing all this information, this birthday book and all this stuff about Trump. And I think Murdoch has a lot of dirt about Trump. In fact I know he does.

And I know also to AMI does and AMI seems to still be in cahoots with Trump, but Murdoch does seems to be not. And a lot of drip, drip, drip is coming out, more than I've ever seen before.

You know, in: 2015

A lot of new information is coming out and it seems like the tides are turning on Trump and they're going to use this against him.

David Wheeler: 00:14:04

Well, let's hope so. Yeah, let's hope so. Over to you, Mo. Take it.

Ed Oppermann: 00:14:08

Yeah.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:14:09

Well, I just wonder, do you think it's going to make any difference? I mean, even, you know, if all this stuff comes out, do you think it's gonna make a dent in Trump?

Ed Oppermann: 00:14:17

No, I don't. I think we're so inoculated by all this that the, the true believers will never believe it.

He's a man of God and he was anointed by Christ to kind of save us, you know, from whatever. I don't know if something, I think this Putin dirt coming out too, I think permanent has the same dirt as, as Murdoch has.

As a matter of fact, I just interviewed Georgi Skalaza exclusively. Guy hasn't done an interview since, since he first went into the public.

He's the one in the Mueller report telling Michael Cohen, I stopped the flow of tapes talking about the Russian P tapes, the blackmail tapes there. So I think that Putin has dirt. I think Putin's threatening to release it.

I think that Trump will just say, oh, this is all made up by the Dems, it's made up by Putin. And the true believers will believe it. The ones, the influencers who, that's where their paycheck comes. They'll just go along with it.

When he lies, they lie to, to back him up. You know, there's, they, there's, there's no dignity or self respect in that bunch whatsoever.

And, and people like you and me that are screaming from the rooftop about what a piece of this guy is, you know, it's openly piece of. What more do you want, guys? A rapist man, a fraud and a con man and every, you know, in court, you know. But no, it doesn't seem to matter.

Then in: 2025

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:15:35

Ever get back to the day where it does matter or are we just too far gone?

Ed Oppermann: 00:15:39

Talk to a lot of people that are sober. People like Craig Unger, you know, he's a very sober reporter. And I talk to these people and more and more people saying they think martial laws.

Around the corner, we see these ICE agents, masked armed thugs which seem to have very little training in crowd control or even cuffing people, basic training. I don't know where they're getting, pulling these guys off the street. Seem to have very little training.

These guys and the budget bigger than the US Marines right now. Plus they do have the backup from the Marines. Plus these Are local states like in Florida here, fl.

The local Florida police now have a federal authority. They've been deputized federally to. To enforce immigration, too.

And then there's that whole local highway patrols that have been deputized to federal enforcement of drug laws. So there's a lot of federal control over local police increasing.

Like I said, I spent my whole life doing criminal defense work, and that whole situation is terrifying because I don't know if you know the difference between being prosecuted by a local prosecutor or a federal prosecutor. It's like a 97% conviction rate federal court, and you got to do 85% of your time. It's a whole different ballgame.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:16:54

Yeah, yeah. Tay is a retired military guy.

I'm just appalled, you know, seeing U.S. troops out on American streets, you know, not facing out towards the border to keep the enemy out, but facing inward to. To try to control the public. And I never thought I'd see that day happen here in America. Hey, what. What's a.

What's a story that our reader or listeners don't know about that you think would be of interest?

Ed Oppermann: 00:17:21

ne on this topic because it's: 2013

She was 16 years old. Firsthand witness. She was hit on by Trump at 16. He knew she was 16.

I have an exclusive interview with her and she talks about Trump having a 17 year old Russian girlfriend. We can't forget too, that whole business with Jared Kushner when his father did that blackmail operation.

Those were Russian teens, too, that he used to blackmail his brother in law. So there seems to be a lot of Russian teens involved in all this.

The other one is Heather Braden, who talks about Steve Mnuchin, who came out as the registered agent for Jean Luke Bernal's modeling agency. And he claims he has no idea how it happened. Oh, my goodness. How'd my name get on there? Happens all the time. Right. But she has an eyewitness.

first I heard about it is in: 2019

My phone blew up off the hook. I was hearing from every tabloid out there. Suddenly everybody wanted to talk to Ed Opprom about Epstein and mostly was through Hoffenberg and.

And I had.

I'm the one who discovered that 24 page letter of Clinton Being involved of Epstein being involved with the Clinton foundation, authored by attorney Jerry Leftcourt. So I was the one that obtained that.

And suddenly in: 2019

And I said, well, I haven't heard anything about it. What's the John Tina story? And they were trying to sway me away from the John Tino story.

And how it goes is John Tino is a fake name, but he was an organized crime fellow in New York city in the 70s in Times Square, and he ran a massage parlor. And he says that he would arrange for sexual encounters with Trump and porn stars.

And there was one occasion where Trump wanted to have an underage girl, and he arranged for a threesome with an underage teen kid and a porn star. And now that book was. That story was published in a book called all the President's Women by Mr. Levine. And this French woman, I forget her name.

I had them both on my show. It's in the book. But when I had them on the show, they would talk about anything in the book, but they couldn't remember the John Tino story.

It's in the book. But they, you know, they didn't want to talk about it. I pulled it out of them as much as I could, but they didn't want to talk about it.

And I, I found out since that this is a pattern with Mr. Trump, is that even after something's published, he will get to the people involved and put them on the payroll. And even if it's published, they don't want to talk about it anymore.

You know, and all these published books out there, but the modeling agency and the modeling stuff, there's books, they've written books, but then they don't want to talk about to sell their book, and they have money coming in from somewhere else.

David Wheeler: 00:20:36

So at sounds like you're on the edge of a lot of interesting stuff.

Ed Oppermann: 00:20:41

Can't help it.

David Wheeler: 00:20:42

And tell us a story about when you have been nervous. You know, you're talking about organized crime, you're talking about Trump, which is, you know, is organized crime, as far as I'm concerned.

Tell us a story about when you got a little nervous that maybe you were a little too deep in the story.

Ed Oppermann: 00:21:02

Yeah, well, okay. The organized crime stuff never worried me because I was Very friendly with those guys.

I went a nightclub in New York City at the time, and I was a smuggler, too. I used to smuggler uncle marijuana. I was out there doing stuff back in those days. I ran with the bulls in Spain as a kid.

I was a wild man, you know, So I wasn't worried about that. And. And the office I worked out of in Brooklyn was very friendly to organized crime.

And even later on, when they tried to shake me down, I wasn't worried about that. But so the organized crime stuff, I never had any problems with. I always got along great with that. One thing went the Sarah Palin investigation.

What happened was Gina Rodriguez was contacted by Shelly Tripp, who was a massage therapist in Alaska. And she had. One of her clients was Todd Palin. And so she got arrested. And. But. And she did a. She got paid $50,000 by the National Enquirer.

They had four polygraph examiners test her, and she passed with flying colors. But then the police chief of Anchorage, Alaska, came out and said, well, we looked into all this, and all these allegations are false.

Well, it turns out that that letter that he put out there was written by Sarah Palin's attorney and just put on the police chief letterhead. And so when I was exposed to that, no one was helping Shelly Trip. It was just me and her, because Gina had dropped her.

There wasn't enough juice there. So it was just me and Shelly. And I was scared. I was very scared with that one. And I didn't know what.

I guess this is my first big political one, you know, And I thought I'd be dealing with the Republican operatives, but instead, no. My house is broken into. My dog was drugged. A lot of stuff happened during that. Stuff.

People that were clearly foreign agents were inserting themselves into my life.

David Wheeler: 00:22:44

Who was it? Who was it? And who sent them?

Ed Oppermann: 00:22:46

Well, I think Russia was one and China was the other. Okay, but who sent them?

David Wheeler: 00:22:51

Why. Why would they be interested in Ed Opperman?

Ed Oppermann: 00:22:55

Well, because I had the juice. I had the. The dirt on Sarah Palin and Todd Palin.

And see, what happened was when the case was ended, when there was a disposition to Shelly Tripp's case, the prostitution case there, and the sheriff's department or the police department, I forget, in Anchorage, Alaska, sent me her laptop and sent me her diaries and all her material. It was that same exact day that Sarah Palin went on TV and said she was not running for president. Okay, so getting involved in that when.

When Shelly Tripp was out there all on her own and Me just making that decision that I was going to help her out when even Gina wasn't taking the case. There was no lawyer involved. There was no nothing. You know, it was just, you know, a lawyer came involved later on when what happened was.

That's a long story.

But what happened then was she sees on the news that Obama, these Secret Service agents in Colombia wouldn't pay their tab, and they got arrested down in Colombia. And she says, I know that guy. That's the guy. He did the same thing to me. He came to Anchorage, Alaska.

He was one of Sarah Palin's Secret Service agents, and they didn't pay me. Jesus. All right, how would she know? How would she know? You know what I mean?

David Wheeler: 00:24:10

Ed, Ed, you're in the middle of all this.

Ed Oppermann: 00:24:13

I know, I know.

David Wheeler: 00:24:14

It's really interesting. So tell us, you know, why is it that it seems like the Republicans are always the ones in the middle of this? You know, you go back to.

You go back to, I don't know, the Nixon era, You know, Roger Stone playing games there. You fast forward to Reagan hostages for missiles. It seems like the Republicans are always the ones in the middle of this crap. Why? Is it.

Is it because Democrats aren't any fun anymore or what's the deal?

Ed Oppermann: 00:24:45

Well, I. I don't want to be rude, okay, but it seems like the Democratic Party is more interested.

And I just did some oppo research this last cycle, and it seems like they're more interested in diverting funds to their own use and to their friends and their consultant buddies than they are in really winning. You know, and there's the. It's a slow moving ship. You can't. The orders from the top come down so slow that there's really. It's hopeless.

Is in my estimation also, too, when you go to them and say, hey, dudes, look at the dirt I have here on. On Trump or on you. Other people you and I have talked about privately. Look at what we got.

All we need is a little bit of money and we could get this movie on a silver platter. And it goes nowhere. Nobody's interested.

David Wheeler: 00:25:34

And whitey, is that because they're too pure?

Ed Oppermann: 00:25:39

I don't think they're pure. I don't think they're pure. I think it's. I don't know, man. I just. They're on the balls maybe. I don't know.

David Wheeler: 00:25:49

I think. I think you're right. I think it's. They don't have a stomach for it.

They think they're above it, and they don't realize that, that that's why they're losing. They think they're losing because they've got bad candidates or whatever.

No, it's because the Republicans are using every tool in the shed to win, and they use the rules to win sometimes, as Mo points out. So it's just really interesting that the Republicans don't seem to be morally hinged on using this information to their advantage.

But the Democrats are, and you know, we've been talking about it for a long time, and the Democrats all say, oh, yeah, well that'd be great if we could use it. But then when we have something and we want to pay for an ad, they won't. Nobody gets behind it. You're absolutely right. We.

I have talked to more donors, rich and poor, that don't have the stomach for it. I just, I don't get it. It. I, I don't get it.

Ed Oppermann: 00:26:42

I, I don't either. And I do know that there's a lot of these Democrat type influencers and podcasters.

I, I know there was some money floating around supporting these guys and I know who was behind it. Exactly who was behind it. I have his phone number, but for some reason, I don't know, I guess I'm too left. They don't want to touch me.

They don't want to do the dirty tricks route. They just don't want to do it.

Kind of funny is a friend of mine, someone very close to me, works at one of these local campaign offices for the Democrats that is accused of rigging voting machines and all this kind of stuff like that. And I got to tell you, the, the idea that they would be capable of rigging vote in that office, that anybody in that office would be capable.

David Wheeler: 00:27:25

Well, I think that applies probably up to the DSC level too.

You know, they're just, they're, they're, they think nefarious is, you know, putting a quarter in and getting a, a bottle of pop that's supposed to cost a dollar. So.

Ed Oppermann: 00:27:37

Well, they're literally sitting around trying to work Taylor Swift lyrics into their press releases. Okay? That's what they're saying, rather than doctoring the voting machines.

But on the other side, man, they got, you know, I interviewed Patrick Bergey, man, you know, who was examine the Hunter Biden laptop, man, you know, at Rudy Giuliani's apartment. Okay.

David Wheeler: 00:27:58

Really?

Ed Oppermann: 00:27:59

Oh, you want to hear a funny story about that, Patrick? Okay, listen, I got the rundown on the laptop, man. I got, I got a, I interviewed everybody on the laptop.

I got the whole chain of custody on the laptop. Hunter Biden's attorney in his lawsuit is using my theory of the chain of custody on the laptop.

Not that everybody's squeaky clean on the, on the laptop stuff, but when the laptop or one of the laptops are a backup of all the laptops, it's several laptops. Was at Rudy Giuliani's house.

And when Rudy Giuliani got raided by the FBI and the Department of Justice and they seized all of his electronics in his phones and his computer, they took everything but the Hunter Biden laptop. They left that one behind.

David Wheeler: 00:28:41

You got to be kidding me. Why?

Ed Oppermann: 00:28:43

I wish I was, man. I wish I was. I wish I was. And there's other things I could tell you, man, I don't want to say on the air.

Not that they don't deserve it, but just, you know, it's told to me in confidence, you know, know that's a, it's a dirty game.

David Wheeler: 00:28:57

It really is. And I, you know, the thing that's. That shocks me is how political the FBI and DOJ is.

I mean, even under, well, not necessarily under Biden, but, you know, maybe under Eric Holder. You know, they went out on the limb a couple times that on some things that probably shouldn't, they shouldn't have.

And clearly under Trump, he sees it as his own personal law firm. But over, over to you, Mo. One more. Sorry about that.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:29:24

Yeah, boy. Ed, listen, I, it's really been interesting.

I appreciate you taking time to do this, and I know our listeners are really going to enjoy hearing all this, but can you give us, give us one more on the way out that you think folks out here in western North Carolina would like to know about?

Ed Oppermann: 00:29:43

Well, one thing I'll say about this is during like Stormy Daniels, okay, the FBI was very heavy handed. An SDN one was very, very hands. Heavy handed. Interviewing witnesses.

I don't know if you've ever been up against federal investigators, man, but they'll go after your mother, you know, they'll say, we got dirt on your mother. We're gonna arrest your mother, you know, if you don't confess and cooperate with us, you know. And they said they were very, very heavy handed.

But you want to know what, man? They never asked a single question about Trump and Epstein. They never asked a single question about Trump and Katie Johnson.

And some of the people involved in that were very knowledgeable about what was going on. They never came to me. No one has come to me and says, hey, Ed, what do you know about this? Okay.

Only more recently, just I posted on Reddit that that was my case. I started getting some Reuters. But otherwise, man, like, I'll be interviewed by BBC.

And right before the interview starts, I'll say, hey, hey, don't mention anything about Trump and Epstein. You know, that's how much power and influence this guy David Pecker and Ami and these characters had over the media and. And Murdoch, too.

The media moguls, they control it, man.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:30:44

What do you think is going to happen with the whole Murdoch lawsuit? I mean, these guys used to be big buddies. Is this going to be another one of those settlements or what's going to happen with it?

Ed Oppermann: 00:30:53

I cannot imagine that Murdoch allowed that to be published without either having a photograph of that letter. We know the letter. We know that binder exists. We know that even Brad Edwards said it exists in the. The inventory of the estate.

So we know the binder exists. We know now that. We know that Clinton wrote a letter in there, too, and a couple other guys wrote letters in there, too.

So I can't believe that Murdoch went ahead without having that letter, a picture of the letter, or 10 witnesses who stole the letter. And I think that his first reply will be a copy of the letter. The first response in the first motion.

Colonel Moe Davis: 00:31:23

I hope so.

David Wheeler: 00:31:24

Yeah. Well, let's get the. That's all I can say.

Ed Oppermann: 00:31:28

Otherwise, they got some kind of deal going on in the background, and it's all a big act, you know, because like I said, the Epstein story is controlled by The Epstein people. 100. I can tell you guys, man. Okay. I see the same people you do on Twitter, 500,000 followers.

You know, all these people talk, all the Epstein experts, right? None of them have ever come to me and said, hey, Ed, what do you know about this Katie Johnson case?

And when I would contact them and say, hey, you're talking about my case. Do you have any questions? No, they're too busy tweeting to talk to Ed Opperman. The only time.

The only time one of these huge experts has ever come to me for any kind of help was to dig up. Up dirt on plaintiffs, was to dig up dirt on Hoffenberg. Not.

Not to advance the defense and not to advance the prosecution, not to advance the plaintiffs, but to hinder the plaintiffs, to hinder the prosecution. And these are the people that if I were to say their names out loud, I would have a hundred thousand troll bots and tweets attacking me.

David Wheeler: 00:32:29

We'll say their names out loud. Come on.

Ed Oppermann: 00:32:32

Yeah, right. Well, maybe.

David Wheeler: 00:32:34

Maybe with the Colonel, I'll say it. I Don't give a.

Ed Oppermann: 00:32:38

If the colonel wants to come with a. With a tank. If he can get one of his old tanks.

David Wheeler: 00:32:44

Yeah, well, it'd be an aircraft, but.

Ed Oppermann: 00:32:46

Anyway, even better, man.

David Wheeler: 00:32:49

Well, listen, Ed, how can folks, you know, you've. You've told some great stories. You sound frustrated, like we do in that difficult getting our message out sometimes. What.

What should folks do, in your estimation, to. To move some of these stories forward? You know what?

Ed Oppermann: 00:33:09

I don't know, man. I. I don't think there's any hope to move you. I don't think there's any hope, you know, really. Even. Oh, yeah.

And even if you go back, even when Epstein was alive or if he's still alive, you know, it was. Just walked out of there, which I think. But, you know, he.

At mit, he was funding mit, their media research center at mit, these guys and a Gawker magazine, these guys have been funding the tabloids and controlling the tabloids and controlling the news. Even when I'm quoted in the tabloids, they take my stuff in the. You know, I said it, but it's really not what I would.

But the entire context of what I said, you know, so it's just so controlled by the Epstein crew and that bunch and that filthy, dirty crew, man, that I don't know if there's any hope.

David Wheeler: 00:33:54

So you think he walked out of that prison in New York?

Ed Oppermann: 00:33:57

I think that, yeah. I would have to say that. I can't believe that they would allow. Because the guy did have intelligence connections.

I know a lot of people try to point to massad, but you got to look up the whole. Douglas Lee's connections into arms dealing and Russian money laundering. The guy had connections up the wands.

It was a very corrupt jail, and there's enough people involved to have the Jews to get him out there. Why kill him, you know, when you could have them on your side?

And plus that all that kind of intelligence stuff, that's generational, you know, he comes. This is generational stuff going back to Robert Maxwell. So you can't.

How you going to hire people in the future if they're going to let you hang out the dry and get killed in jail?

David Wheeler: 00:34:36

That's true. Well, they had a ton of money. They seem to be spread, spreading it all over the place.

Ed Oppermann: 00:34:41

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm on the wrong team, I'll tell you that.

David Wheeler: 00:34:45

Yeah, I hear you. I hear you. All right, well, that's a wrap for this episode of the Muckyou Podcast.

A huge thanks to our guest private detective Ed Opperman from the Opperman Report for sharing his incredible insights and stories. We're still reeling in some of those revelations.

Hey, Ed, if folks want to listen to your pod or learn more about you, where should, where can they find you?

Ed Oppermann: 00:35:10

Well, the best way to hear the show is spreaker.com. that's the one. And it's the least censored because it's very hard to find the show on Google and stuff like that to find shows.

I got 15 hours with Stephen Hoffenberg, who was Epstein's partner and, and a mentor. You know, he's passed away now, too, as well. Patreon, the Opperman Report. Patreon.

Even if you don't want to sign up for 10 cents a day, if that's too much to support that offering, there's plenty of free stuff up there, too. All the Katie Johnson docs up there for free. All this litigation and paperwork and stuff, it's always up there for free.

Anything that comes up right away, I'll put it up here for free.

David Wheeler: 00:35:48

Okay. And that, and that's operandreport patron.com or.

Ed Oppermann: 00:35:52

What is at patreon. Yeah, patreon.com. it's a, you know, a paywall kind of service. And otherwise, just Google a report and you'll find it. It's all in the place.

David Wheeler: 00:36:00
