The Rotunda #250 8/10/20 - State Senate candidate Doreen Costa talks about the recent protests art the home of Governor Gina Raimondo - while our right to peacefully assemble is protected in the Constitution, is there a line crossed when political protests are brought to an elected official's house? What undertones could this have moving forward? At what point do these protests become, in fact, harassment not just for the official but also of their neighbors?
Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung is the guest in the third segment. We learn about her battle with COVID-19, her plans to unseat the Speaker, and her plans for her term in the General Assembly, and the effect that turning some seats red can have on our state government. You get all this, as well as my thoughts on MLB's predicament - with teams postponing games due to COVID, what could have been done better? Will we even have the magic formula to destroy this virus? And, what about the latest dust-up between the VP and SCOTUS? Give this a listen and a like! The Rotunda #204 8/19/19 - Natalie Lerner from the AMOR Network joins the Rotunda in the third segment tonight to give a first hand account of what went on at the Wyatt Detention Center last week. This incident brought national attention to Rhode Island and not in a good way. Listen in and hear for yourself the terror and fear that arose from citizens exercising their constitutional rights and ask yourself: is this really where we are now? Is this really what we want to be, and pass on to our children?
The first and segment segments of the show focus on local and national politics, as Barbara Ann Fenton joins the show in the second segment to talk about the absolutely horrifying Johns Hopkins report on Providence school, and the reasons why all parents - whether we be in Cumberland or South Kingstown, should be concerned about our capital city. If you'r blood is not boiling after this interview, I don't know what to tell you! The Rotunda #95 2/27/2017 - Back from Europe, Scott catches the audience up on some of the hijinks across the pond, and speaking of ponds, Cameron Pond calls in to discuss the recent election of the DNC chairman. Is this going to be a good thing, courting more of the centrist Obama/Clinton voters, or will this further turn off the party’s growing progressive wing? Barbara Ann Fenton also calls in from the RIGOP to talk about the recent developments in the not-so-cold war between Governor Raimondo and Speaker Mattiello, and what that means as we start turning our attention to the statewide races in 2018.
As if that wasn’t enough, we have tensions brewing in district 60 in Pawtucket, as well as some Trump sprinkled in for good measure. The Rotunda #84 11/14/16 - Scott talks about the shocking election results, and what factors he thinks Trump capitalized on, and Clinton dropped the ball on, that brought about such an unexpected result. He also calls out bias on the part of the Left as a continuing issue for the Democrats.
Barbara Ann Fenton calls in to talk about the Frias-Mattiello race, as well as some other local races, including Cranston flipping its city council. |
