So, you know, my first term was about stopping Obama. And so I think in two years that he was there, I've seen him 27 times. Now I stepped it up a little bit with Biden, but we had four years with Trump. And the reason I ran the second term was to deal with exactly that issue. I saw big tech. And I saw big corporations and people felt powerless because all their information is being taken.

They have no control over it. They're being censored. And I'm like, how do I solve this? So I went out to Palo Alto. I spent like a year of my life going out there, talking to professors, talking to lawyers who were tech experts. And we ended up putting together many lawsuits, several against Google, several against Facebook.

We sued Facebook because there's a Texas law that says you cannot steal somebody's face, take somebody's face or their voice without their permission. And then once you've taken it, you have a certain amount of time, a reasonable period of time to keep it. And then you have to destroy it and you can't sell it without their permission. Well, guess what? Meta, now Meta. They were doing it.

They just did it anyway. So we sued them. And we got the largest settlement between a state and a business ever, $1.4 billion. We have sued Google, I think five times. We've won two of those cases. We had two settlements, but the three biggest are coming. One of them. is about the same thing that Meta did. They stole our faces.

Another was about incognito, where they told people, by the way, you go into this incognito, you sign up for this, we will not track you. Lie, they tracked us anyway. That's a deceptive trade practice in text, where they tell you one thing and do another. They lied, and they're so big, and they make so much money, they just think they can win everything. Well, the final one was,

This is one that everybody thought was crazy, but we did it. And now then DOJ filed a copycat case under Biden actually, where they, where Google controls 97% of the ad market and they destroy the competition. If you're competing and we believe they cut a deal with Facebook to keep them out of it, pay them off.

and they destroy you if you're small enough, they buy you if you're big enough, and they cut a deal if you're super big. And all of that's illegal under antitrust law. So we, in April, we are going to trial in Texas. They delayed me for two years by forcing me into what's called a multi-district litigation.
