Summary
Elaine Parker, president of the Job Creators Network Foundation, said that their Job Creators Network Twitter account did not violate any of the social media platform’s rules but was nevertheless suspended, and they think it’s "retribution for defending free speech and then retribution specifically for Alfredo Ortiz's op-ed urging big tech regulation."

| 0:00.0 | Hello America and welcome to a new edition of John Solomon Reports. The podcast from |
| 0:09.7 | Just the News, where today we've got a provocative interview about a form of censorship that |
| 0:16.4 | I would never have imagined I saw in my lifetime. |
| 0:20.1 | Job creators network has become one of the most influential advocacy groups for small businesses. |
| 0:25.9 | It represents 30 million small businesses across America, basically the main street engine, |

| 1:38.2 | that small businesses need, particularly in the midst of this pandemic, in the midst of |
| 1:43.0 | regulation battles. And this group is not controversial. They don't do silly things. |
| 1:50.3 | They don't make up conspiracy theories. They don't engage in hate speech. It's a group |
