is he dominating on the economy in arizona. and those are powerful things for him. i mean, can you look at pennsylvania and many said, look, if biden loses pennsylvania it's over anyway. you chip away at things like arizona and it's a big deal for democrats and they have to be looking at the numbers of hispanics and women thinking uh-oh this is battle we have to get back in. >> bret: that is an alert we have heard from democrats on those demographics. arizona trust more on immigration if you look at this poll 58-38 now the former president over president biden. and you look at where it was in 2020. >> and then in pennsylvania, issues important to voters, the economy, 61%, election integrity 55%. immigration there at 52%. >> look. just look at these numbers now we know like any poll is a snapshot in time. we have seen one week to the next they gain a point on each other and it goes back down. we knew it would be a tight race when we were looking at a

potential rematch. you know, as a democrat, i have constantly said that, you know, my party has not paid as much attention and done as much on immigration as they could and that could hurt them in a state like arizona which typically has been red and joe biden flipped. can he do it again? yes. i think it is going to be harder because in arizona, specifically, because of immigration; however, there are some things that benefit joe biden. in arizona, you have a large elderly population. you have a large senior population. and they are tending 65 plus are tending to favor joe biden because it's not just about biden and trump. it's about are republicans going to take my social security? are republicans going to take my medicare. when we shoot over to pennsylvania. in pennsylvania, if i had to go to vegas, i would say is he going to get pennsylvania. and the reason i say that is not just hopeful. when you look at the numbers of women, and i think more women are going to come out and we saw that with ohio. we saw that in the midterms when abortion comes front and center for a lot of states that aren't border states like pennsylvania. >> a small bet. >> bret: a small bet.

not everything in? meantime, steve, the third party possibility, robert f. kennedy jr. he is still polling pretty well. this is representative as yous n clause warning about this. >> this election near run thing come down to a few states and couple hundred thousand voters any third candidate with a last name like kennedy pose as significant challenge. democrats are absolutely taking it where he could be. >> look at pennsylvania poll snapshot in time. when you put kennedy in there. goes to tied. now the former president up. a lot of people are saying is he going to take away from president biden. >> that's right. a lot of interest in his vice presidential pick. so you can see that there is something there for both sides

to be nervous about what is interesting about the race. many people made the point you have two incumbents effectively running against each other. the thing that actually neither of them really can change is their record. and actually, if you look at the trump record, set against the biden record, trump wins on all the issues, as trace was saying. and so really for trump if he can keep the conversation on the substance, on the issues and on his record these numbers if anything are going to go more and more in his direction. >> also unprecedented he will be in court on the days coming forward. meantime tiktok and piece of legislation passes the house. it is not a ban on tiktok a ban if the company does not divest from chinese ownership. take a listen.

>> the bill is not a ban. it forces foreign adversaries, including chinese communists to divest. >> it's an attempt to make tiktok better. >> some us just don't want the president picking which apps we can put on our phones. >> they use geo location data targeting minor children to then force them to call congressional offices, this influence campaign illustrates the need for this bill. >> bret: this is amazing, you know, compilation of strange bed fellows in both against, warning about national security and for fighting for free speech and not coming down on different companies. what's your thought. >> yeah, i mean, listen, i trust the intel people when they say that tiktok is taking all this information, absorbing it, especially from young people, and maybe using it for nefarious deeds with the chinese government. we don't have enough information, my skeptic curiosity as a journalist is what happens if they divest and give it to a new company. what happens to all the information then? where does it go?

moreover in this bill, shouldn't we also find out if we're going after the information being gleaned from tiktok should we not find out what is happening from information being gleaned by facebook and by google. that you will stuff, why shouldn't we find out more about that information because they are also using it for, you know, whatever purposes they choose. >> bret: we don't know how the senate is going to handle it but the white house is saying the president would sign it if they desk. biden, the president wants to curb tiktok, biden the candidate embraces its stars and also post campaign stuff on there. >> yeah. i don't think -- there is not a ban on tiktok, right? and this legislation is just strange bed fellow. very rare look, you go even further with tiktok. something very interesting is have you ever seen what tiktok in china is? >> totally different. >> it empowers young people. it builds them up. it's positive, and it's very

pro-china. not here in the united states. we have seen the psychological effects and hearing even more. i have two teenagers, believe me. the. >> bret: trust me, i finally got them off. >> you know, what does it do to the brain? what does it do to the attention be span? what does it do to our socialization, the list goes on and on. >> ke kevin o'leary is in the midst. maybe he makes it a great thing like china's. >> look, the thing that is at the heart of this is the point that leslie has just made in the end tiktok is not actually a social media platform in the way that we think of the others. it is a media outlet. because it's controlled by an editor. now, the editorial decisions are implemented through algorithm in technical way but it is controlled by editorial brain and that brain is in beijing and feeding propaganda and disruption into our society. that is the key concern. and so we would never allow. it's illegal for a foreign

government, let alone a hostile one to own a u.s. media outlet. the chinese regime couldn't buy fox news or the "new york times." and we shouldn't let them control tiktok, either. >> bret: okay. thanks a lot. good to be here. see you soon. okay. tomorrow on "special report," legendary college football coach nick saban from alabama joins to us talk about college athletes on the payroll. that's an exclusive interview you will see here. remember, if you can't catch us live, set your dvr 3 president e east and 3:00 p.m. on the west coast. that's it for "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. it's been a busy week. only halfway down. "the ingraham angle" is next. ♪ >> good evening, everyone. i'm laura ingraham. this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. chinan
