ASBL 15. Who Really Shot Trump? And, The Problems We’re Trying To Solve With Lloyd Chapman and Bruce de Torres On Vimeo, Rumble, and the usual audio platforms. We discuss: The July 2024 Trump assassination attempt. Nothing about it makes sense. The shooter was seen by a number of people for about an hour before President Trump took the stage, and security and/or police were alerted to his presence before Trump started speaking, and yet nothing was done to stop him. The accused assassin’s rifle didn’t have a scope. It had a red-dot site, or “quick acquisition” site, appropriate for short-range work, like clearing buildings, not for distance shooting which typically needs a scope, yet his shots were in a tight pattern, something like a three-foot diameter. Was there another shooter behind him farther away? Why hasn’t Trump mentioned it? Does he know who arranged it and he’s afraid to pursue the perpetrators? Where are the primetime reports on what is known? Did they come and go quickly? It’s like the shooting never happened. Also discussed: the government’s high-tech, AI censorship of free speech on social media, particularly how Lloyd is being censored on X.com. The bill Lloyd helped write that was sponsored by Rep. Hank Johnson in 2009, which went nowhere: It should have been a no-brainer. The Fairness and Transparency in Contracting Act. Don’t give small business contracts to Fortune 500 firms. Its main goals were, according to perplexity.ai: “…to improve fairness, transparency, and accessibility in federal contracting for small businesses. Key provisions included: “Restricting Small Business Classification: The act prohibited publicly traded and foreign-owned companies (or their subsidiaries) from being classified as U.S. small businesses for government contracting purposes. This aimed to ensure that only genuinely small businesses benefited from small business set-aside contracts. “Increased Transparency: It required timely reporting of small business contract holders, including listing them under their parent companies' names to prevent large firms from hiding behind smaller subsidiaries. “Maximizing Small Business Opportunities: The act aligned with broader policies to ensure a "fair proportion" of federal contract dollars went to small businesses, established government-wide goals for such contracts, and tasked the Small Business Administration (SBA) with restructuring procurements to enhance small business participation. “These measures sought to curb abuses in the system, promote competition, and create more opportunities for legitimate small businesses in federal contracting.” What is the basic problem? Federal law says that 23% of all federal contracts should go to small businesses. 98% of all businesses have less than one hundred employees. (That should be the largest size standard used.) And it’s been reported for more than 20 years that billions in federal contracts every month are intentionally diverted to Fortune 500 firms and their subsidiaries, and to other known-to-be large firms.

The American Small Business League is the strongest voice in America protecting the federal programs that assist the nation’s 34.7 million small businesses. Winning over 100 Freedom of Information legal battles has exposed rampant fraud in federal small business programs. In the national media and in federal courts, the ASBL has had a larger presence than all other organizations that claim to represent the interest of small businesses combined.…

ASBL 14. “How Much Fraud Are We Going to Put Up With?” With Lloyd Chapman and Bruce de Torres Vimeo, Rumble, and the usual audio platforms. We believe President Trump is going to close the SBA. We want to save the SBA and stop big firms from getting federal contracts that are supposed to go to small businesses, which are 99.9% of all American businesses. They are supposed to get 23% of federal contracts. But they only get 3%. 97% goes to big businesses. Because the SBA FALSIFIES compliance with the 23% goal, a scandal and an outrage that almost no one knows about. Other topics: The massive censorship Lloyd is experiencing on X. The AI-powered censorship programs used by the federal government to suppress free speech on social media and, presumably, other platforms. Bruce onboarding as Director of Communications for the American Small Business League. And the indications that the economy and stock market might crash sooner than later. Still, there’s hope – when enough Americans choose to learn and spread the word about what’s really going on. Lloyd Chapman, Founder and President of the American Small Business League, has won over 100 Freedom of Information legal battles – more than anyone else, according to his lawyers – exposing the rampant fraud in federal small business programs. President Obama said, "I am proud to have the support of the American Small Business League and their grassroots efforts to help protect American small business.” RFK Jr. interviewed Lloyd and said, “Lloyd Chapman is one of the great champions of small businesses in the United States. For over 30 years he has worked to protect the interest of our nation’s 34 million small businesses.” Kennedy was running for president. He said, “My first day in office, I’m going to do everything you said.”…

America 13. Dear Republicans, Please Save the SBA 26:10

America 13. Dear Republicans, Please Save the SBA On Vimeo, Rumble, and the usual audio platforms. Link to the show-notes (my Substack) is in the comments. Summary and paraphrasing: Why do Republicans hate small businesses? Why is every president under pressure to close the Small Business Administration? Why ignore and never mention small businesses? 99.9 percent of U.S. firms are small businesses. The average U.S. company has 10 employees. 87% have 20 employees or less. They are supposed to get 23% of all federal contracts. Federal agencies pretend to obey the law. They say they’re steering contracts to small businesses. But in fact small business get only about 3% of federal contracts annually, and 97% of contracts go to the world’s biggest companies, one-tenth of one percent of U.S. firms. The economy would boom if presidents did their job and executed the law, the 1953 Small Business Act that says small businesses are supposed to get 23% of all federal contracts. It would double or triple the number of new jobs created. It would lower the rate of crime, domestic violence and homelessness. The Pentagon seems to be the biggest enemy of small businesses. (And Congress ignores the fact that the Pentagon admits that $35 trillion dollars is missing. There should be nationally televised investigations to find that missing money.) The driver who killed those people in New Orleans was probably in broke and in debt. The country is headed for economic collapse. We’re $36 trillion dollars in debt and we acquire another trillion dollars in debt every 90 days. It’s unsustainable. Insanely, the Pentagon likes our involvement in wars. And we send billions to other countries in foreign aid when, recently, we were told that there wasn’t enough money to help hurricane victims in the South. Lloyd has worked for 35 years to get the government to stop cheating small businesses. He prompted the first federal investigation into fraud in the government’s small business programs in about 2002. The Government Accountability Office found that over 5,000 of the biggest companies in the world were getting small business contracts. Over 5,000 of the biggest companies on the planet were in the SBA’s database of small businesses. And when asked what companies have received federal contracts, the SBA is silent. It does not make that information public, nor does it provide it on request. This information should be freely available online. Reagan tried to close the SBA. Obama tried. It’s stupid to oppose the only agency created to help the 34 million businesses where most American work. Lloyd hopes that Trump will support small businesses. But when he took office in his first term, the SBA budget was the lowest in its history – and Trump cut it even more.

America 12. The Deep State, Foreign Aid, and Free Speech On Vimeo, Rumble, and the usual audio platforms. Summary and paraphrasing: San Francisco is a ghost town. It used to be a wonderful, delightful place. So many streets have boarded up storefronts. The Wall Street Journal has reported that Biden has been in bad condition for years, perhaps not really functioning as the president since the beginning. So, the question is, “Who’s been making decisions?” Jeff Zientz, his chief of staff? Antony Blinken, secretary of state? Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of homeland security? Merrick Garland, attorney general? Are they the deep state? If you report on the mystery of who is making the decisions, is your career over? During the Obama administration, for example, if you wrote a story about the Pentagon that the administration didn’t like, no one would talk to you anymore. So how can you cover the Pentagon if no one will speak to you? The deep state works hand in hand with the mainstream media. They said many times that Biden was as sharp as a tack, when we saw with our own eyes that he seemed not to know what day of the week it was. American taxpayers are funding Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. The people of Israel don’t want this. They’re protesting the Netanyahu government. “If you’re Jewish, Netanyahu is making your life more dangerous no matter where you are [on Earth].” The first people that a predator nation conquers is its own. Israel force-vaccinated a very high percentage of its population, and the body count worldwide keeps rising Among America’s biggest problem is the demoralization of the people, who feel powerless to affect the horrible things that the U.S. government is doing. We’ve given around $175 billion dollars of aid to Ukraine, which could escalate into a nuclear exchange that destroys the world, while we can’t provide care for our veterans who have been killing themselves in huge numbers for decades. Much of foreign aid almost certainly gets laundered or given back to Congress, directly or indirectly, in order to encourage more foreign aid being sent to the recipient nation. “If you’re in Congress and you don’t take the illicit money that’s offered you, you’re not going to stay in Congress much longer.” You’ll be replaced by someone who WILL participate in the money-go-round. “Zelensky is just another idiot being used as a tool while we’re [letting his country be destroyed],” like Manuel Noriega, Saddam Hussein and many others. Bruce quotes some of TrineDay’s The Journey Podcast 168, Richard Grove and John O’Dowd: The British State Has Poisoned the World through its Empire (trinedaily.com/2024/12/17/the-journey-168-richard-grove-and-john-odowd-the-british-state-has-poisoned-the-world-through-its-empire). “Publisher Kris Millegan speaks with Richard Grove, a conceptual artist and forensic historian whose podcast can be found at GrandTheftWorld.com.

40:44

ALB 11. Et Tu, Business Wire? Plus Rants Against Vaccines and Israel On Vimeo, Rumble, and the usual audio platforms. Summary and paraphrasing: The federal government, especially the Republican Party, is anti-small business, anti-jobs. HR 10216 was introduced to the House on November 21, 2024, “to end preferences for disadvantaged individuals and businesses in Government contracts, and for other purposes.” The reason: to end racism, it says. Under Reagan, the definition of a small business changed from up to 100 employees to up to 500. But the average company has 10 employees, and 87% of American business have less than 20 employees. But now the definition says that companies with up to 2,000 employees can get contracts as small businesses. It’s as if they’re TRYING to destroy the economy. Lloyd believes he’s being censored on X. “About the time I started talking about Trump closing the SBA (Small Business Administration), my engagement has dropped ninety-nine point-nine percent from the high. Think about that.” He suspects that the phrase “small business” triggers censorship on X. Elon Musk says he bought Twitter so Americans would have free speech. But we don’t have it on X. He seems not to have control over X. A few days ago, RFK Jr. posted on his YouTube channel his interview of Lloyd from March 2024. The audio has been online since Spring 2024. Why did he post the video now? Here are the show notes on YouTube, channel: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dec. 7, 2024, RFK Jr. Podcast: Corporate Capture Kills Small Business with Lloyd Chapman: “The Battle for Small Business: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sits down with Lloyd Chapman, founder of the Small Business League, for an eye-opening discussion about the challenges facing American small businesses today. Chapman reveals how major corporations are capturing federal contracts intended for small businesses, and exposes the intricate web of corporate lobbying that impacts government policy. In this compelling conversation, Chapman shares insights from his decades-long mission to protect small business interests, including his founding of the Small Business League in 2004. Learn how regulatory capture and corporate influence affect the backbone of America's economy - its small businesses.” Lloyd’s recent press releases can be found here: businesswire.com/news/home/20241210881523/en/An-Open-Letter-to-SBA-Administrator-Nominee-Kelly-Loeffler-from-American-Small-Business-League-President-Lloyd-Chapman “Over the last two decades, I have won dozens of legal battles against the SBA over the agency's refusal to release the names of all the firms the SBA included in its calculations on compliance with federal small business contracting goals. You have an opportunity to foster a new era of honesty and transparency at the SBA where the American people have the right to see how their tax dollars are being spent. The American people should not have to wage lengthy and expensive legal battles just to see the names of firms the SBA is reporting as having received federal small business contracts.” businesswire.com/news/home/20241212011483/en/An-Open-Letter-to-Elon-Musk-from-American-Small-Business-League-President-Lloyd-Chapman Lloyd Chapman is Founder and President of the American Small Business League (ASBL.com), working to protect the interests of our nation's 33 million small businesses.

AMERICA WITH LLOYD CHAPMAN AND BRUCE DE TORRES ALB 10. Lloyd Asks, “Does Trump Hate America’s Small Businesses?” And Bruce Praises Dr. Meryl Nass On Vimeo, Rumble, and the usual audio platforms. Topics: Lloyd fears Trump will try to close the Small Business Administration under the guise of efficiency. “Every Republican president since Reagan has tried to close the SBA.” The preferred idea is to merge it with the Department of Justice. “MAGA people don’t realize that Trump is the most anti-small business president in your lifetime.” Lloyd has 18,000 followers on X. But some posts get less than 300 views, proof in his eyes that he is being censored, especially after posting his opinion that Trump is being pressured by the Pentagon to close the SBA. He says, “America is corrupt. It’s criminal. We’re killing innocent people around the world so we can make money for the military-industrial complex. We’re bankrupting our country [by sending] foreign aid. We’re adopting legislation that is harmful to the American people.” “If Trump closes the SBA by merging it with the Commerce Department of some other agency, it could prompt a depression. A complete collapse of the middle-class economy. It could put unemployment through the roof [and] increase homelessness.” Bruce: Not to mention the companies that exist because of SBA loans. Lloyd, “There are millions of them.” The corruption and evil of the United States government is overwhelming. “What could have been done with the hundreds of billions we’ve given Israel and Ukraine?” Lloyd asks. Google-search “Trump hates small business.” First result should be: usatoday.com/story/money/usaandmain/2020/02/26/does-president-trump-hate-small-businesses/4869747002/ “Does President Trump hate small businesses? Read his 2021 budget proposal and decide by Rhonda Abrams, Special to USA TODAY, Feb. 26, 2024” “Does President Donald Trump hate small business? If you examine his proposed budget for 2021, that’s the logical conclusion to reach. Trump is proposing eliminating or drastically cutting aid to small businesses—even when such cuts result in insignificant savings. Trump’s draconian recommended budget cuts would stifle the health and growth of this critical sector of our economy. Presidential budgets rarely get enacted as proposed, but they are widely seen as reflecting a president’s priorities and values.

AMERICA WITH LLOYD CHAPMAN AND BRUCE DE TORRES ALB 9. Trump’s Picks, A JFK Conference, and More On Vimeo, Rumble, and the usual audio platforms. Topics: Trump’s picks. Watching closely. Because “Every Republican president since Reagan has tried to close the Small Business Administration for the express purpose of ending all federal programs for small businesses. And that’s because the Republican Party is very closely affiliated with the military-industrial complex and Fortune 500 firms.” “The Small Business Act mandates that 23% of all federal contracts [are supposed] go to small businesses. [But in reality, they only get 3% on average each year. That’s because] big businesses want every penny the government spends to go to them.” The SBA is barely able to keep the lights on. Bush cut the budget. Trump cut the budget. As of November 26, 2024, it seems Trump has nominated heads of every agency except the Small Business Administration, probably an indication of things to come, not good for the SBA or America’s small businesses. The SBA should be one of the largest agencies in the government. It represents 99% of all businesses. The Commerce Department, in Lloyd’s opinion, represents the 1%. We must oppose any effort by Trump to close the SBA, the only agency created to help small businesses. Hopefully, Republicans won’t say, “We should close the SBA to make government more efficient.” 97% of federal contracts go to 1% of American business, the largest corporations, a violation of the law that says 23% should go to small businesses. We the people have failed ourselves. We’re supposed to make sure our representatives administer the laws on our behalf. Bruce read this report: My First JFK Conference (2024) by Bruce de Torres, brucedetorres.substack.com/p/my-first-jfk-conference-2024. “Profound presentations were given at the 2024 JFK Conference by JFK Historical Group, JFK Conferences LLL, and Project JFK / CSI Dallas. I MC’ed much of it, an honor and a privilege.” “Doug Horne of the Assassination Records Review Board, Dr. David Mantik, and Dr. Mike Chesser described how THREE shots hit Kennedy in the head. Mr. Mr. Horne also described how the Zapruder film was altered after Life Magazine purchased it but before it was handed over. The public has never seen the original version with, presumably, the limo stop, which facilitated the shooting, and perhaps two or three of the headshots distinctly seen.” “TrineDay publisher Kris Millegan showed how the streets of Dallas, particularly Dealey Plaza, embed Masonic significance, and he described the assassination planning phone call, captured by Naval Intelligence, between Johnson, Hoover, Dulles, Nelson Rockefeller and George Herbert Walker Bush.” “Chana Gail Willis described how her father filmed the assassination for the CIA.” “Other presenters included Dick Russell, Ed Tatro, Judyth Vary Baker, Randy Benson, Casey Quinlan, Brian Edwards, and David Knight.” “Dealey Plaza looks the same as it did in 1963. Every American should go, because every American should be told the truth about the Kennedy assassination. It was a coup d’etat that took power from we the people, leading us to become one nation under surveillance in a police state of shrinking freedom and increasing economic and cultural hardship.” “My book is a great primer, GOD, SCHOOL, 9/11 AND JFK: The Lies That Are Killing Us and The Truth That Sets Us Free. It is available at TrineDay.com and the usual sellers.” Lloyd’s response: “I was named after my mother’s brother who was killed in World War Two. I grew up super-patriotic. I was named after an American hero. It is crushing to realize how corrupt and vile and criminal the United States government is and has been for decades.”…

AMERICA WITH LLOYD CHAPMAN AND BRUCE DE TORRES ALB 8. Demand Compliance On Vimeo, Rumble, and the usual audio platforms. Demand Compliance with the Small Business Act of 1953. 23% of Federal Contracts are Supposed to go to Small Businesses. Instead, 97% Goes to Big Businesses. Learn more at ASBL.com, the American Small Business League. Consider sharing this show with others. 99.9% of American firms – 34 million – are small businesses. 98% have 100 or less employees. 87% have 20 or less. The average company has 10 employees. The federal government is anti-small business. The law says 23% of federal contracts – around $350 Billion annually – is supposed to go to small businesses. Instead, 97% goes to one-tenth of one percent, the biggest companies, and small businesses get only 3%. This is an outrage on par with the JFK assassination, the inside job of 9/11, and the crime against humanity that was the tyranny imposed in the name of Covid-19 and the injuries and deaths caused by the shots. Only one government agency works for our small businesses, the Small Business Administration. Its main function is to steer 23% of federal contracts to our small businesses. But it has been gutted year after year by presidents of both parties. They have sought to close it. It is, in essence, non-existent. Its budget was bigger in 1981 than it is today. Its budget should be one of the biggest, not the smallest. Why is this so? Because Fortune 500 companies basically own Congress. They want every penny that the government spends. For 40 years, the Pentagon and its contractors have aggressively tried to repeal the 1953 Small Business Act, which mandates that small businesses are supposed to get 23% of federal contracts. Trump, in his first term, cut the SBA budget. He did nothing in his first term to directly benefit small businesses. He can fairly be called anti-small business.

Harris arguably could have been controlled, had she won, by the same people making decisions for Biden, the same people, perhaps, who ousted him and installed her as the nominee. Bruce agrees that RFK Jr. is great and is cautiously optimistic that Trump will let Kennedy do what’s they’ve described. The government is run not by what’s good for the people but by special interests. The laws they want get passed. That’s why the biggest companies pay little or no income tax. How to make America great again, by Lloyd: Make Fortune 500 firms pay taxes. It’s insane to let them make billions in profits and not pay taxes. Sometimes Trump talks about cutting corporate taxes. “That’s ridiculous.” The Government Accountability Office said in a recent report that 34% of the largest and most profitable companies in America pay zero income tax.

ALB 6. October 31, 202 Show notes (recorded the Thursday before Election Day): Lloyd, “There’s censoring the crap out of me on social media! It’s amazing. It’s creepy.” See what’s happening at X.com/LloydChapman. Lloyd started getting censored about 35 years ago when he won his first big case against the federal government in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. It forced the Pentagon to release documents that showed they had been lying to Congress about the volume of contracts going to small businesses. Lloyd has won 110 lawsuits against the federal government on behalf of small businesses. Learn about his amazing advocacy at the American Small Business League (ASBL.com). 99.9% of American businesses are small business. They’re supposed to get 23% of federal contracts. Instead, they get only 3%. Which means that 97% of contracts go to one-tenth of one percent, the biggest firms, Fortune 500 companies, which are the only firms talked about on the news, etc. Nobody talks about America’s small businesses. No president enforces the law, the 1953 Small Business Act, which mandates that 23% of federal contracts are supposed to go to America’s small businesses. Lloyd is pro-Trump because he’s pro-Kennedy. He’s pro-the team of great people promoting Trump: Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, etc. Bruce also hopes Kennedy is allowed to do great things in a Trump Administration. Elon Musk loudly defends free speech. Yet people are censored on X. Why? Is it because Musk laid off three thousand people who were censoring people on the site, and some of those bad actors still access the site and censor people? Lloyd thinks Trump’s going to win and that there might be a civil war if Harris is said to be the winner because she got the lowest approval rating for a vice president just a few months ago. Meaning, her victory would be a fraud and there could be an awful backlash. “The people who back Harris are incredibly powerful and,” Lloyd thinks, “they’re prepared to do anything to keep Trump from being elected president.” People should check out DontCheatWomen.com, Lloyd’s latest project to help women have a bigger voice in government.

ALB 5. Kris Millegan: Books That Challenge Official History … Because It Matters On Vimeo, Rumble, and the usual audio platforms Show notes: Kris Millegan, publisher at TrineDay.com, has published 170 books since 2002, not only Bruce’s book (GOD, SCHOOL, 9/11 AND JFK) but also such titles as: BARRY ‘N THE BOYS: The CIA, The Mob, and America’s Secret History (about CIA pilot and drug smuggler Barry Seal) by Daniel Hopsicker. AMERICA’S SECRET ESTABLISHMENT: An Introduction to the Order of Skull and Bones by Anthony Sutton. THE TRUE STORY OF THE BILDERBERG GROUP, the international best-seller by Daniel Estulin. And ONE NATION UNDER BLACKMAIL: The Sordid Union between Intelligence and Organized Crime that gave rise to Jeffrey Epstein by Whitney Webb. Lloyd described how he has been censored for decades and asked Kris about censorship. TrineDay books have been suppressed. Kris’ content used to appear as page-one results on Google. Then Google’s algorithms changed and started keeping his content far from page one. Both Lloyd and Kris had fathers who worked for the CIA and told them things when they were young that blew their minds. Kris’ father told him in 1969, “The Vietnam war is about drugs. There are these secret societies behind it. They’re playing out a ‘lose’ scenario. And communism’s just a sham. These same secret societies are behind it, too. To them it’s all just a big game.” Kris took on conspiracy theory as an intellectual discipline. It’s a very wide field. It took him 20 years to understand the many things his father told him. By the 1990s Kris was running an email list called CIA Drugs through which he met investigative reporter Daniel Hopsicker, who had a book in New York City that no one would publish. Eventually Kris suggested that they create that book on Kris’ computer in 2002. BARRY ‘N THE BOYS is about CIA pilot and drug smuggler Barry Seal. Then Antony Sutton told Kris that his AMERICA’S SECRET ESTABLISHMENT was going to go out of print, and Kris said, “Antony, that can’t happen.” So, he published that, too, and then it grew from there. “During the pandemic,” Kris told us, “Amazon didn’t buy any books at all for a couple of months. But people were at home, and we do retail from our website [TrineDay.com] and our wholesale went way down but our retail went up and more people discovered us.” ONE NATION UNDER BLACKMAIL by Whitney Webb is TrineDay’s best-selling book. It’s about honey traps, blackmail, and the networks that gave rise to pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Kris described the journey that begins when you discover things behind the scenes, realities that contradict and nullify what is sold to us as official reality. For instance, Skull and Bones members in the late 1800s fomented the illegalization of drugs in order to make fortunes through drug trafficking for personal power, the corruption of government officials, and clandestine intelligence operations. A very good book, NATIONAL SECURITY AND DOUBLE GOVERNMENT by Michael J. Glennon (Oxford University Press), shows how the collaboration between intelligence, corporations, and criminal gangs have become a stronger power than our traditional government and have used that power to hoodwink everyone. An amazing curriculum is Kris’ podcast, THE JOURNEY, at TrineDay.com and the usual audio platforms. 165 conversations with TrineDay authors about their books covering all these topics and more.

ALB 4. October 25, 2024 Foreign Influence, Trump, the Two-Party System, American Survival On Vimeo and the usual audio platforms. Show notes: Lloyd was at the presidential debate hosted by Free and Equal Elections, freeandequal.org. He was with Tiffany Cianci, who livestreamed it, as did many others. Moderated by Free & Equal Founder Christina Tobin and former U.S. Comptroller General and No Labels Co-Founder David Walker. Candidates included Chase Oliver (Libertarian Party), Dr. Jill Stein (Green Party), and Randall Terry (Constitution Party). They don’t expect to become president. They want 3 to 5% of the vote, to get their issues taken seriously and adopted by the winning party. Presidential elections are typically decided by a small percentage. All three complained about Democratic policies, not Republican. They seemed to want to influence the DNC. Biden and Harris are pushing us toward nuclear war more than any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. And we’re heading toward complete economic collapse. Lloyd was impressed by Ms. Stein’s intelligence. “Anyone who supports Bobby Kennedy or Donald Trump, I don’t think they would disagree with anything she said.” Lloyd spoke to her campaign manager and suggested Ms. Stein become a voice for America’s small businesses and woman-owned small businesses, because nobody else is (except Lloyd). 99.9% of America’s businesses are small businesses, which shocked the campaign manager. Ms. Stein is really against Israel’s war crimes, the atrocities they’re committing in Gaza. She said she’s Jewish and they were taught after World War 2 never to let genocide happen again, never let a holocaust. But it’s happening right now in Gaza. She talked about that a lot. So did Chase Oliver. Mr. Terry was the opposite. Ms. Stein came down on him hard. Lloyd and Bruce evaluate Israel’s influence on America’s politics and politicians. Do candidates feel obliged to publicly support Israel while personally having other views? Do they pander to Israel because to do otherwise would unleash a media attack they want to avoid? Is the two-party system a fraud? Really a uni-party? Lloyd asserts that the chairmen of both parties are lobbyists for Fortune 500 firms, for the oil and gas industry. When you do research, you see the same companies supporting the DNC and the RNC. Both parties serve corporate interests, not the American people nor America’s ideals. FEMA and the Small Business Administration claim to have no funds for our latest emergencies and catastrophes. Yet we’ve given Israel and Ukraine hundreds of billions in aid. “Israel says it has secured $8.7 billion U.S. aid package.” – Reuters.com, September 26, 2024. “FY 2022-2024 Supplemental Appropriation - As of June 30, 2024, since February 2022 the U.S. Congress had appropriated more than $174.2 billion in supplemental funding for the U.S. response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The most recent supplemental appropriation was signed into law on April 24, 2024, provided nearly $61 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine, of which approximately $48.4 billion will be administered by the DoD, $11.6 billion by State and USAID, and nearly $1 billion for other U.S. Government agencies.” -UkraineOversight.gov/funding.

AMERICA WITH LLOYD CHAPMAN AND BRUCE DE TORRES ALB 3 – October 20, 2024 Tiffany Cianci and the Strip-Mining of The Middle Class On Vimeo and the usual audio platforms. Tiffany Cianci’s nightmare began when a billionaire-backed private equity firm executed a hostile takeover of her franchise. As RFK Jr said after talking to her, “Nationwide, private equity firms are using dirty tricks and forced arbitration clauses to gobble up the last frontier of the American economy: small businesses and the middle class. But they can—and must—be stopped.” When Tiffany organized resistance to what the new owners wanted to do, they spent millions of dollars forcing her into bankruptcy and spread lies to destroy her as an example. She and her family continue to fight (going to the New York Times, the New York Post and Washingtonian Magazine). She describes how the middle class is being strip-mined of its wealth. One person can make a difference. The firm was supposed to buy a dozen businesses in the last two years. Exposure of their practices dissuaded many businesses from going with them. Only one has been bought, and their former president or CEO, Tiffany said, was indicted for fraud and no one else would buy them. “A match made in hell.” Private equity firms are buying up huge percentages of businesses in different regions, in many adjoining states, for instance HVAC and plumbing. They retain the old, trusted names but raise prices in them all. Customers shop around but find the same higher prices everywhere. Then the controlling firm forces the companies to accept less out of the prices paid, squeezing the service company as it squeezes the customer Transparency laws are needed. Forced arbitration hides bad conduct. Hundreds of thousands of small businesses are fighting for their lives in secret arbitration and no one knows about it. Many private equity firms impose on franchisees astronomically expensive forced arbitration to settle disputes, mandatory confidentiality, and a mandatory non-disparagement clause. Communities don’t see how their small businesses are being squeezed. Tiffany can tell her story because the firm was found guilty of defamation, freeing her to restore her name. Every day she talks to politicians at the US Capitol about America’s 785,000 franchisees and how they have personal guarantees in their agreements, and most of their SBA loans are retirement-backed small business loans, meaning they risk losing everything, their savings, retirement, and their homes by the abusive and predatory practices people either don’t know about or can’t talk about. Tiffany has testified before Congress. She speaks to the FTC. She speaks to the press and does podcasts. She has a TikTok channel, @TiffanyCianci, where she does TikTok Town Hall, where she speaks to political candidates about these issues, which she also posts on YouTube, @TiffanyCianci.

AMERICA WITH LLOYD CHAPMAN AND BRUCE DE TORRES Politics, Current Events, and History ALB 2 - October 13, 2024 Did Trump’s Butler, PA shooter act alone? Why wasn’t he apprehended after many people reported his presence to many officials for such a long time before Trump began speaking? How did he shoot so accurately without a scope? Were other shooters behind him? Why did they wash this blood off the roof so quickly? Was Biden forced out of the race in a coup? Is democracy alive when the democratic nominee has gotten no votes, when she was just appointed? Is Google modifying search results to favor Harris in the 2024 election? Is the open border, the flood of illegal aliens, facilitating intentional national suicide? Did California pass a law making it illegal to ask voters to show an ID? Every day, Kennedy promises that Trump, if elected, will empower Kennedy to help with staffing the new administration and improving the health of all Americans.
