Daily American boo boo. I got on the line, mr George Pavlanis. George, welcome to the show, brother.
Speaker 2:Thank you, dan. Thank you for having me. I'm glad that you got a reasonable voice on to kind of set you straight on your little waver ways. Buyer's remorse I hear you talk about.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So here's the thing. So pretty much all right. So I don't like the Gulf of Mexico. The only two things I don't like the Gulf of Mexico. And then, as you well know, george, I had lost my job after eight years of employment and was fired. I was struggling big time. A lot of these federal employees some of them got families. Unemployment isn't going to cut it dude for a lot of them. Imagine you're a federal worker and you voted for Trump and you're a conservative Republican. You got a family of four and now you got to go to the unemployment line.
Speaker 2:Okay, let's address.
Speaker 1:And there's no remorse, and there's no remorse behind it.
Speaker 2:Let's address the Gulf of America. The Gulf of America is American pride. The Gulf of America needed to be done because Trump needs to signal to the rest of the world that the Trump administration is in charge. We are here. America is strong. America's will will be heard. America is strong, america's will will be heard. So the Trump, the Gulf of America, is one of those statements that is just loud and proud and say we did it because we can. The same thing with why he calls Canada the 51st state. The same reason why we want Greenland. It's all.
Speaker 1:basically, let me finish this sentence.
Speaker 2:It's all about projection of strength. We are not the weak country that we were under the past administration. We are a new, stronger, better United States. Okay.
Speaker 1:Well said. Now, with that statement alone, one would say well, george, our entire nation came from other countries. Every single you speak Greek. Your father born in Greece. You were born in Greece. I'm sorry, but you were born in Greece and you're an immigrant to this nation. You know, it's like I understand the strongest nation on earth this, that and the third, but like, why has it got to—it's like changing the 82nd Airborne to whatever they did.
Speaker 2:Or Fort Hood, it's the same exact way that the Democrats and the other side operate.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, it is, it is, but the complete opposite. They're changing names. I mean, that's, it's an ego thing. It's an ego thing for America, right?
Speaker 2:After the past four years, don't we deserve an ego thing? In other words, if you're depressed and you're run down, don't you need something to give you pride? Don't you need something to say we've been oppressed under the Biden regime for four years and really it's not even about. I mean, let's really if you were to take it all back. I mean, this country has been basically being taken advantage of since World War II, so let's not even talk about the past four years.
Speaker 2:Since World War II, every other country has had their hands in our taxpayer money, and it's about time Trump puts his foot down and says no more, no more.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right. I mean, I can see your point of view with that 100%. I can see your point of view and respect that. I can respect that. That one could say that the Republican Party and the conservatives and the backbone of this nation, the American workers, the American workforce, kind of have been I wouldn't use the word oppressed. I wouldn't use the word oppressed but I would, you know, not heard, maybe not heard with the, with the past administration. And let me be very clear when I state this I voted for Trump 16,. I'm sorry. I voted for Trump, yeah, in 2016. And I voted for Trump this past term. Buyer's remorse I said that in my last podcast. I don't know about Buyer, I just feel like I don't see any. I know he's a strong businessman. I don't see any care about the actual Wait, you don't see care the you and I's of the world.
Speaker 2:When he speaks. When he speaks Wait, he literally brought Elon Musk front and center to the White House and basically bought a vehicle from him and basically showed him to the rest of the world. Stop messing with him. That's caring. That's what friends do to friends. That's the same thing we have. If someone was Go ahead, if someone was picking on me, would you come up and stand in my defense, and doesn't that show caring?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but who was picking on Elon? Tell me about the Elon thing.
Speaker 2:Because they've been burning down his dealerships, they've been shooting up his stores, they've been vandalizing the Tesla Chargers. It's been an ongoing thing now for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1:Wait, really See.
Speaker 2:I'm so unplugged.
Speaker 1:That's why, that's why I try to. I don't try, but I, I try to stray away from politics because I don't know my history and I'm, I'm uneducated. Remember, I'm not, I'm just your daily American. I just I'm your regular folk who you know operates under this nation, and, and, and you know, operates under this nation. And you know I don't know everything about everything.
Speaker 2:So what do they do in Elon? They're just dragging him through the rear. They're basically. You know, Elon Musk was, you know, the pride and joy of the left-hand party and now they're just putting him through a wood chipper. They're destroying his name, they're destroying or trying to destroy his cars, destroy his dealerships. You know they're. They're basically, they're trying to basically do, they're trying to cancel. They're trying to cancel him. And that's what happened. And President Trump basically brought him to the front of the White House and said he's a patriot no-transcript.
Speaker 1:Okay, and what about his? What about that? The whole shebang about his Hail Hitler thing Was that. I don't know anything about that, I just know I heard it somewhere. What was the deal with it? I didn't watch the video myself, or else I'd have, or.
Speaker 2:I would just tell you what it was. Nothing, man, that was just general emotion. I mean, he basically he put his hand to his heart and he said my heart goes out to you guys. Seriously, come on, man, you know you watch too much msnbc man see, here you go.
Speaker 1:Now you're coming at me. I just told you the truth that I didn't watch the video. I heard it through the grapevine, just like I hear everything through the grapevine. I'm just I. I gotta bring other awareness to the other sides of things in order to get people to understand different perspectives. For instance, that was fake news that was fake news. That was fake news media.
Speaker 2:It's always been, it's been, it's been. 10 years of fake news.
Speaker 1:Well, that's what the Daily American's about George bringing the everyday folk to the limelight to allow them to express their opinions. You know what I mean. This isn't a, this isn't a one way street, and for saying things that I say, they always come from the heart. You know what I mean. They come from the heart, it is. It is what it is, but obviously, you know, I I use one statement buyer's remorse, and in my last podcast, and it's and it stirred you up a bit, but I don't like any, if there's any. I don't like politicians, to begin with, because they're corrupt. Everybody's stuff in their pockets. If you're a politician, how can I get my pocket stuffed the most? Now, with Trump, it's a little bit different, right? Because he wasn't a traditional politician. So I don't want you to sit here and think I'm turning into a libtard, because that's certainly not the case, but I need to bring awareness to different perspectives. So that was completely fake news, that Hitler thing. He didn't, he didn't, he didn't. So that was completely fake news, that Hitler thing.
Speaker 1:He didn't do the whole Hitler sign and he's not a Nazi sympathist or a racist Correct. Okay, yes, how many baby mamas does he have? I guess 13. 13 baby mamas. Are any of them good looking?
Speaker 2:I heard they're all mediocre, average. You know, honestly, I have no idea. You know, I don't, I haven't, I haven't. Honestly, I don't even know anything about his personal life. But can we touch upon this whole? Federal employees that are laid off now and all of a sudden, now they have yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Now listen, let's really scrutinize what actually happened. Trump took those deadbeat employees that were hired by the Biden to just make it look like the economy is going strong. That's where most of these employees are. Think about it 80,000 IRS agents for what? For 100 billionaires that are in the country? I mean, come on, you know what I mean. All of these jobs, people that were hired was done deliberately to make it look like the economy was going good. And look, oh, I'm Biden, I'm creating all these jobs. They weren't real jobs, so these people that are losing their jobs were pretty much collecting a paycheck and weren't even coming to work, so they already had other forms of income. This was just extra income that they were getting, you know, because of. The Democratic Party was basically saying oh, you voted for us. Here here's extra money, just like the $2 billion that Stacey Abrams got.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's who is Stacey Abrams, by the way.
Speaker 2:She ran for governor in Georgia.
Speaker 1:Is she the one that came back after Trump's congressional address and she was. She basically stood the stand for the Democrats after his address and gave her a little speech, or no?
Speaker 2:Some younger girl.
Speaker 1:She was well spoken Democrat. No, no, no, yeah, no, no, I forget her name Alright. So here's the thing some younger girl she was well-spoken democrat.
Speaker 2:You know how they always do that. Okay, yeah, yeah, no, no, that was uh. I forget her name, all right so here's the thing.
Speaker 1:Here's the thing about those. Okay, if they're phantom jobs, and you know, just like, this is why the biden administration wanted open borders and no ids during voting, because what it does is it boosts their votes. So you're pretty much saying that it boosted our economy and made it seem like job creation. Right, but realistically, they were DEI, which is what? Diversity, equity and inclusion A bunch of undeserving, pretty much undeserving individuals in the United States getting these positions in the federal government, possibly of power. We don't know the exact positions, but the bottom line is they didn't deserve the jobs. A lot of the times they were phantom, meaning they didn't even have a need. They were just hired strictly to boost numbers and make the economy look like it was better, correct?
Speaker 2:And you're saying that was the majority of them, and that's my opinion, yes, Okay, all right, so.
Speaker 1:So that's okay. See, that's fair and you have the right to share your opinion. I would say that some of them were, but I don't know about all of them I'm talking about the one or two individuals, not one or two. But you know the regular humans that got the family of fours or fives and they're you know they find themselves trying to live off of 500, 600 bucks a week, which is damn near impossible in today's economy. You know, I feel for people like that.
Speaker 2:But these, these government employees, they weren't just, you know, making a few hundred dollars a week. These, they were making multimillion dollars. You know, living in you know, five, ten million dollar homes all around Washington DC.
Speaker 1:You know it's, it's, you know, right, so that all around washington dc. You know it's, it's, you know right.
Speaker 2:So that's what, that's what it is. I mean, you know, you know you're not thinking about some guy that you know lived in the suburb of pennsylvania that we, you know, got a job and was making 500 bucks a week and now he can feed his family. It wasn't like that at all. Okay, these most of these, most of these jobs were in the dc area area. You know, and just you know, were already these people that got these jobs already had money and this was just extra money.
Speaker 1:Okay, and this is why this is again. I just want to restate I do appreciate all the listeners. George, you're definitely one of my you know friends and you know I consider you almost family and you know you're definitely one of my friends and I consider you almost family and you're definitely a listener. And this is what this is about. Dude, just to reiterate that To have people from all walks of life it doesn't matter their skin color, their race, anything like that because the media out there, the ones controlling with the big bucks, they got it all corrupted. Everything we see, it's all corrupted. Sometimes I wonder if the other side's corrupted too, if the Republican, conservative side's corrupted. But I think what it boils down to is that anybody, once you hit a level man, it's pretty easy to corrupt somebody with a ton of money Money it can be used for good.
Speaker 2:But I think at the end of the day that a lot of times it's not used for good man and people will do whatever it takes to continue stuffing their pockets.
Speaker 1:But I know you're not like that and that's why you're always welcomed on the Daily.
Speaker 2:American correct and Elon Musk same thing. They're doing this work in the government to help the people of America. They're not doing it like every other politician, to pad their pockets. Trump and Musk were billionaires and they're losing money to help this country. They weren't just normal people that said, oh, we're going, gonna come into this government and we're gonna try to, you know, steal as much as possible. You know that's. That's not what they're doing, but that's what you know. If you really look at the history of the politicians, that's what pretty much every other politician has done. They go in poor, they come out rich.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's, it's unbelievable. That's not necessarily what it's supposed to be, or that isn't what it's supposed to be about at all. And also, with politics, don't people switch like not not switch their, their values or their viewpoints? But didn't the Democrats in America like, didn't they used to stand for what the Republicans stand for, or no?
Speaker 2:uh, I mean way back when. Yeah, I mean way, way back when. You know the the democrats were about, you know, peace, love and happiness. You know and, and that's the problem is, people still think that that's what the democrats are about. But they, they've long that that, that that has long been um switched over. You know it's, you know they're. They're the party of war, they're the party of big corporations. I mean they're the, they're the party of um. Globalism is what they are. Yeah, you know, we haven't even we haven't even touched upon about the, the global agenda, the global agenda. Yet I mean that's, you know that's a whole, nother conversation yeah, yeah, yeah, it certainly is.
Speaker 1:But I just meant, like, when it comes back to politics, like when it comes back to like, say, our founding fathers right, you know, you got George Washington and William Penn and I don't know if he was a founding father but John Locke, these individuals that came together to go against the Brits from the tyranny, the taxation, this, that and the third, and for them to have freedom. Wouldn't they be considered Democrats or no?
Speaker 2:to have freedom wouldn't they be considered Democrats or no? No, they were totally different parties. And as far as William Penn, William Penn was like 150 years before the founding fathers. It made even more than 150 years.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I shouldn't be. I shouldn't be even talking politics. That's why I stray away from politics, because I'm not educated enough on it. Even talk in politics. That's why I stray away from politics, because I'm not educated enough on it. But I get one comment. I say one comment about buyer's remorse just because, like you know, I have buyer's remorse when it comes to any sort of thing that I get. I could go buy a piece of gum and be like, oh, I have buyer's remorse, but I would not change anything in my life that I've done up until this day Not anything bad, not anything good.
Speaker 1:I'm okay with every decision that I've made and I, god willingly, will hope will continue to be okay with the decisions that I make. There's always repercussions for them and there's ramifications, but I don't regret anything. I don't regret saying that just because now he's got four years left, right, we'll see what happens. He's got four years left right, we'll see what happens. He's got four years left. His ego's big as is mine no, nope, nope nope okay okay, that's true.
Speaker 2:God saving his life has humbled him, true, true, true his rhetoric and and everything, his demeanor and everything has been extremely humble and you're a man of god and you can you should be able to sense the difference between trump now and trump of uh eight years ago yeah, would you say that he's a?
Speaker 1:he's more humbled now, without a doubt. Okay, I haven't been paying attention to politics, just like sports. I haven't been paying attention to tv, period since my son's been bored, um. But you know, here I am having conversations and somehow people like yourself are still listening and I don't really understand why, but it is what it is, my brother.
Speaker 2:Well, I, I, I listened, I listened to try to, like you know, set you straight on certain things. Because here was the main reason why I guess your buyer's remorse comment really, really bothered me, because that is the new narrative of the Democrat Party. They're basically saying look at all these Republicans coming out publicly and saying they all have buyer's remorse. So by you making that comment, you're just playing right into their narrative. Like I mean, you say you haven't followed the news, but that's literally what they've been saying. They've been saying there's hundreds of town halls all across America with these Republicans that are coming out there and saying they have buyer's remorse but in actuality they're paid protesters. So by you saying that, you're just kind of like feeding into that narrative.
Speaker 1:That's why. That's why it affected me so much. I I feed into narrative, sometimes unintentionally, and guess what? Tomorrow I go to the doctors, and guess what, what?
Speaker 2:I'm beginning to work on my vocal cords becoming a little bit like this baby nice, you know what you should, you, you should, you should definitely say, you should definitely. You should definitely say this that buyer's, that buyer's remorse comment was definitely premature, all right fine, all right, I agree, the buyer's remorse comment was 100% premature.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I speak again. Remember the daily American pocket. Sometimes I speak again, remember the Daily American Pocket, unedited, unbiased and unfiltered. I try to just have conversations with your everyday, not just Americans your everyday human beings on their perspectives, on their life obstacles and on their philosophies. That's pretty much it. Yes, the comment was premature. We'll find out here shortly, right in the next, you know few years. No, I do not regret saying it, but the comment was premature. Good to go.
Speaker 2:No, I think you should regret saying it. Oh, I do not, I do not, I don should regret saying it, but I do not.
Speaker 1:I do not. I don't regret saying it, george, because you know what? If I regret saying that, then I better start fucking regretting everything. I've said everything up until this day, because I don't. I don't know exactly what's going on with everything. I don't think I do.
Speaker 1:I have an open mindset when it comes to people that I know, people that I trust, people that I don't trust, people that I don't know and people that I don't trust. I have to have an open mindset and in order to learn if I'm, you know, you're a little bit older, so you've been doing this a little bit longer. I respect your opinions, but I definitely do not regret saying anything. I don't regret doing anything. I don't regret getting blacked out and doing dumb shit, you know what, because everything is of it. It's how we learn. Right now. Am I going to go on there to? Am I saying right now, no, I don't regret it, baba, and trying to put up an argument, a null argument, when I really don't understand all the, all the things about politics? No, but I'm certainly not going to say I regret it. I agreed with you that it was a premature comment, that that's the most I can do All right.
Speaker 2:I'll take that win, that's fine.
Speaker 1:All right, that's a win. That's a W in your column and an L in my column. If it's an ego thing, for sure, but at the same time, I've learned from it, right? So now, when this podcast releases, then maybe the next one. I'm not going to go in there and speak prematurely Now I'm always going to talk about topics I got no fucking idea about, because that's what I do. I'm not going to be educated on everything. I'm not educated on anything. Actually, I know absolutely nothing. Thank God I'm able to get by and earn a nice living, and you know, and I'm thankful that I'm able to raise my son today, because I should be dead or in jail, but thanks to God I'm not and we're able to have this conversation. At the same time, I respect your beliefs, george, and you do know what you're talking about, with some religion, not religion with some history and your political philosophies, and you listen to this stuff every single day. I can't be consumed with that stuff. What I'm consumed with is having conversations with regular people from all walks of life.
Speaker 2:Amen.
Speaker 1:All right, my man, I will catch you later and, as always, you're welcome back on a daily American podcast.
Speaker 2:See you later.
