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?

“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.”
