Chapter 1: What are the implications of smart TVs tracking viewer behavior?
You're being watched through TV screens.
Chapter 2: How does Ken Paxton view the role of young people in political movements?
I know you went after Samsung for this, right?
Samsung, Sony, there's a Chinese company. It's not a conspiracy. They're actually doing it.
Chapter 3: What legal actions has Paxton taken against big tech companies?
Every milliseconds, they're tracking and reporting what you're watching. And so we just sued almost all the TV, LG, all of them.
That's crazy.
Chapter 4: How do algorithms influence public perception and elections?
Okay, guys, here at AMFest, we got Ken Paxton here today. Thanks for joining us, man.
Hey, glad to be here. This is a great event, and it's just exciting to see the energy after the assassination.
Chapter 5: What does Section 230 mean for tech platforms and free speech?
I'm sure the assassin thought he would end the whole movement, and yet the movement's grown. It's even stronger. Yeah, people are energized.
Chapter 6: How does biometric data play a role in privacy lawsuits?
More people came to the movement after they saw what devastating things happened to Charlie Kirk.
This is probably twice the attendance here from last year. Yeah, I was here last year, and I think you're right. Yeah, it's pretty nuts. Did you speak yet? I will speak on Saturday. What's the core message you're going to talk about?
Chapter 7: What challenges does Paxton face regarding state versus federal power?
I think I'm going to talk about the significance of Charlie's death and how important it is that we continue his work because he didn't start this to see it die with him. And I think ultimately it's going to be stronger even though he's dead now. I think it actually is going to be stronger.
Did it inspire you? Because you were already doing really big things prior to his death, but did it take another notch up for you?
It sure did, because I so appreciated what he was doing for young people, for a segment that was getting lost in college, in high school, to liberal ideology. And he was letting that age group know, wait, here's the truth.
Some of it's spiritual, some of it's intellectual, some of it's political, but there is a different message that actually will make your life better and will have a better impact on our whole country.
Chapter 8: How does Ken Paxton perceive the future of Texas politics?
When you look at the younger generation, my generation, like 20s and 30s, do you see them being misguided these days?
Yeah, I think education system is getting this guy to them, but almost all levels. And particularly once they, you know, go to college. So left-leaning and it's such a one-sided approach and it's such a detrimental approach. It's socialistic. It's a, it says there is no God and that, you know, your life doesn't really matter. There's no purpose in it.
Yeah. Have you gone after any of these colleges for that ideology yet?
Yeah, so I've actually gone, I mean, I haven't gone after the colleges personally, but I've been at Turning Point events all over the state, all over my state, speaking, encouraging the continuation of the movement. Wow.
Did his death scare you from going to future colleges?
So, you know, you kind of take a big gulp because, you know, a lot of people are crazy out there and anybody can be a target, anybody that they disagree with. Yeah. And... but we can't let it stop us. I mean, the great leaders of our country, whether it was Martin Luther King, JFK, Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, they all got shot at. But if they were afraid to speak and afraid of what might happen,
our country would be in a very different place on all kinds of different issues that matter.
Agreed. Yeah, you're going after the biggest companies in the world, the biggest industries. You're fighting a big battle. So hats off to you for that.
Thank you. You know what? That's my job. My job is to protect the citizens of Texas from big government, from big corporations, because we individually don't have the resources to do it. But as a Texas Attorney General, Oftentimes, I do have the resource to do it. We see something that is defrauding our public or is pushing our country away from the Constitution, that's my job.
