doctor higdon, what would you want? what would you put in there? >> i you know, i would avoid bans i think, bans seems a way too totalitarian for a free country or a democracy. instead, i would think about things we can do to kind of decentralize some of that power. so i'd like to see these, you know, big tech firms, you know, broke up, so there's more competition and less centralized ownership, that would put the, you know, data being collected in, in, more people's hands, but less centralized, i'd also like to give users the right to be erased. i think we should have the right to have our data erased. i think we should have the right to know what data is collected and who it's shared with, and have the right to opt out, or alternative options. i think those would be more responsible ways to go about dealing with some of the threats posed by these tools. >> before i let you go, just one more question like this goes to the senate. if the senate approves and president biden signs it into law, what happens? right? we understand. okay, well, if you do

doctor nolan higdon, professor of history and communication at cal state east bay. doctor higdon, thanks for joining us. >> hey, thanks for having me. >> hey, so how would you describe the biden who showed up last night, i think, you know, the biden who showed up yesterday really, surpassed a lot of the expectations. one of the things that the biden campaign has been doing in recent months is they've been reducing the amount of public appearances by biden, which i think a lot of people interpreted as biden being unable to speak publicly due to the, you know, critiques of his age and such. but the biden came out last night at the state of the union, seemed energetic, you know, really turned the speech, i think, more into a campaign rally, comparing himself to his predecessor and donald trump, and so it really seemed like a president who was on message and well prepared for the speech they ultimately gave. >> yeah. and let's not forget, sometimes when expectations are pushed down so low, you know, it's easy to come out and look great because you exceeded expectations,

nolan higdon. thank you for joining us. make so they said it was a technical issue. what does that mean to you? what does that mean? obviously, something technically went wrong there. app was down whole platform. >> yeah. this is one of the problems with a private company. have so much power over critical communication and information gathering platforms. we really don't know what happened and we're we have no right to an explanation of this is a private company that doesn't tell us. but because they, you know, control so much of our communication and information gathering and services, you know, would be nice to know what happened. and i think more importantly to know what, if anything, they're doing to ensure that this does not happen again. yeah, i opened up my instagram and like wasn't refreshing. it looked like i had like. >> no posted no followers. i got a little freaked out there for second. but the sides of that like kind of emotional damage i did to myself, there was a loss of revenue. also a loss of stock, probably a little bit. lot of loss of trust from us

nolan higdon says free apps come at a cost. >> i think one of the mistakes that a lot of folks make they think it is free. you have to give up your privacy, which is a huge cost to a lot of folks. everything you do and create, all the time you spend on there is labor, and you're not paid for any sort of wage. but the platform profits from it. >> reporter: and harm says that ban wouldn't just hurt her, but her staff. she has five people working for her and says many other creators also have employees. >> and we're going to upload that. >> most of the money she earns is through sponsored content. without tiktok to post it on, she'll likely lose 30% of her total revenue. >> might have to cut people. we just hired on an e-mail manager this morning actually. i hope i don't have to cancel that contract, so we'll see. >> reporter: and we don't know what will happen if tiktok will be removed from our tone or the app store. but it's causing uncertainty for creators. >> it certainly is. amanda, thank you. >>> barbara lee was among the 60 or so representatives to vote against the bill. while it is

nolan higdon. is her decision a surprise and then the other part of that, who will she advocate for and who will get her voters? >> yeah, i think the only real surprise is that haley hung on as long as she did. you know, the -- it seemed like trump had this wrapped up basically for the entire race. now where her voters go is a very difficult question. some of the polling we had albeit weak, seemed to indicate that a lot of her supporters didn't vote for trump in 2020. so if that means they're going to go third party or not vote or maybe switch the democratic party, remains to be seen but clearly there are some voters up for grabs with this haley announcement. >> and what is their level of enthusiasm? i'm so curious about that as we look towards november and turn our attention to what could be a trump and biden rematch and what can we expect in the campaign in the future primaries. >> yeah, you know, it's interesting electoral outcome because you know, americans don't agree on much politically these

nolan higdon to break down the results and he says on top of shifts donor backup, one of the other defining factors that gained him the top of was just how similar the other two democratic candidates are on the ballot. >> the remainder of democratic voters were left with the choice between katie porter and barbara lee who are different in some areas but very close and a lot of them. they are both progressives. any money or enthusiasm was split between those two. that was an extra challenge they had to face that there was another progressive in the race. adam schiff really did not have to run against another establishment democrat. >> the winner of november's election will finish find signs term , ending in january and begin a full six-year term. >>> the loss for barbara lee means the turning of a political page. to run for senate, lee gave up her seat in congress and she now passes leadership to a possible successor in district 12. we will drill down on the more about the race for district 12 congressional seat in just a moment. >>> let's take a live look outside on this wednesday morning.

professor nolan higdon, from cal state east bay, says lee holds a pivotal legacy in the democratic party, not only because she was able to win a seat in congress but maintain her political stance. >> so barbara lee, really, throughout her career, kept those progressive positions. uh- as early as being one of the lone members to vote against the authorization of the us military in afghanistan during the war on terror. uh- followed that up by voting against the war in iraq, which may not seem like a big deal now, but to people who are alive at the time, you know, the context was that people were almost talked about as if they were traitors to the country for not supporting that war. so it was a very brave act from a young congressperson. >> and lee has not come close to her rivals. campaign fundraising . federal election filings show that as of last month, schiff had brought in $31 million, while katie porter collected 16 million. that's compared to 4.8 million for barbara lee and about 6 million for steve garvey in the newsroom. cornell bernard, abc seven news. >> okay, cornell. thank you

professor nolan higdon says the endorsements mean the race is simon's to lose. >> we've also seen in recent years that typically a lot of these leaders in the party won't endorse someone they know is going to lose. so i would wager that all the metrics uh- that, you know, barbara lee have and some of these us senators have say that simon's going to win. >> many political analysts believe alameda vice-mayor tony daysog and doctor jennifer tran, a professor at cal state east bay, will likely battle it out for second place. only the top two candidates will advance to the november election, tran says a vote for her is a vote for fresh perspectives within my first 100 days, i'm going to introduce a bipartisan bill called the modern cities act, in which we will modernize and set a national standard for policing, addressing homelessness, ending homelessness, actually investing and revitalizing our small businesses. political analyst christian hassan at uc berkeley says another advantage simon has is the amount of money she's raised, almost ten times more than her opponents. >> more informat
