Bruce de Torres on The Truth with John Gordon
The Hidden Cost of the Government Shutdown – Oct. 20, 2025
“In this powerful episode of The Truth with John Gordon, John sits down with author and communications director Bruce de Torres to break down the ongoing government shutdown, its devastating impact on small businesses, and what it reveals about America’s fragile economic system.”
“De Torres, who serves as Director of Communications for the American Small Business League (www.asbl.com), explains how Washington’s gridlock harms everyday entrepreneurs while big corporations continue to thrive. The conversation dives into the real human cost of policy failures and why supporting independent business is essential to preserving American freedom and opportunity.”
“Bruce also discusses his eye-opening book God, School, 9/11 and JFK: The Lies That Are Killing Us and The Truth That Sets Us Free, exploring how decades of deception—from government corruption to media manipulation—have shaped the modern world. He connects the dots between past and present, revealing how truth, accountability, and faith can still guide America back to strength. If you care about truth, freedom, and the survival of small business in America, this is an episode you can’t miss.”
The American Small Business League (www.ASBL.com) is working to end the diversion of federal small business contracts to big businesses. Our www.DontCheatWomen.com project seeks economic and political fairness for women.
Raising to 15% the federal contract dollars that must go to women-owned small businesses would be a great first step. Men hold more political offices and have more political influence simply because they earn and save more than women. That must change.
