>> THIS WEEK ON A LIVELY EXPERIMENT.

-- ON THE BLOWOUT RACE BETWEEN SETH MAGAZINER AND THE ULTIMATE RACE THAT IS STILL IN THE BALANCE OF WHO DECIDES WHO WILL ULTIMATELY CONTROL CONGRESS.

>> A LIVELY EXPERIMENT IS UNDERWRITTEN BY -- >> -- HIGH.

I'M PROUD SUPPORTER OF THIS ISLAND AND RHINO -- RHODE ISLAND PBS.

>> JOINING US WITH THE ELECTION ANALYSIS BILL BARTHOLOMEW THE FOUNDER OF THE BARTHOLOMEWTOWN PODCAST RAYMOND BACCARI EDITOR IN CHIEF COLLEGE.

AND BOB WALSH PRODUCER -- AND PRODUCER BOB WALSH .

-- THIS WAS NOT THE END THAT MANY NATIONAL WRITERS EXPECTED IN THE MIDTERMS.

-- ALLAN FUNG WAS EXPECTED TO FLIP A BLUE DISTRICT READ AND THE BIG RED WAVE NEVER MATERIALIZED.

AND THE MOVE FLIPPED QUICKLY DIDN'T IT?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

MAGAZINER WENT UP AND THEN FUNG WENT UP.

AND AS SOON AS THE BALANCE KICKED IN IT WAS CLEAR THAT THEY CALLED IT FOR SETH.

THE MOVE SHIFTED.

THEY HAD THE MOVE DRAMATICALLY SHIFTING.

>> WERE YOU SURPRISED?

I THOUGHT FUNG -- WAS GOING TO WIN.

WITH THE POLLS.

DID HE DO EVER -- DID MAGAZINER DO EVERYTHING HE COULD?

>> I THINK HE DID.

HE HAD GOVERNOR VISIT FROM NEW JERSEY -- AND REPUBLICANS PUT ALL THEIR CHIPS ON THE TABLE IN NEW ENGLAND.

A LITTLE BIT OF A SURPRISE TO SAY THE LEAST.

>> I THINK THE PEOPLE OF RHODE ISLAND REJECTED -- AT THE END OF THE DAY I THINK THE VISIT FROM CHRIS CHRISTIE AND THE ASSOCIATION WITH KEVIN MCCARTHY I THINK THAT IS WHAT LAID AGAINST ALAN -- ALLAN FUNG .

MANY WOULD AGREE THAT HE IS A GOOD GUY AND THAT HE DID A GREAT JOB AS MAYOR OF PRINCETON.

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE IN THE FACE OF THE VARIOUS DISAPPROVAL OF POLICIES OR RESULTS OF POLICIES OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD SAY THIS IS THE PERFECT CHANCE FOR A REPUBLICAN OR A POLITICAL PARTY TO TAKE OVER.

WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS WE ARE ALL SET.

WE CANNOT TAKE THE RISK.

EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT GOING TO DECIDE THE BALANCE OF POWER WITH THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

ALLAN FUNG WHETHER HE LOSES THAT RACE WE DID NOT WANT TO BE PART OF A CULTURE WAR ATMOSPHERE THAT REPUBLICANS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH RIGHT NOW.

BACK I >> I THOUGHT SETH MAGAZINER DID WELL IN HIS PRESS MEETINGS.

AND WHOEVER WAS ADVISING HIM OF HOW TO ADDRESS CONGRESS HE STAYED ON MESSAGE.

>> YET HE STAYED ON MESSAGE HE WAS LIKELY TO USE THE WORD ON THE SHOW.

-- I WAS GUARDEDLY OPTIMISTIC FROM PRIOR APPEARANCES ON THIS SHOW THAT THIS DISTRICT WOULD STATE DEMOCRATIC.

I RAN THE NUMBERS MYSELF AND THE NUMBERS IN -- CAME IN CLOSE TO WHAT I EXPECTED.

-- THAT WAS NOT WITHOUT A LOT OF HARD WORK AND EXCELLENT -- AN EXIT -- EXCELLENT CANDIDATE.

AND EXCELLENT STAFF.

-- IT WAS A WONDERFUL EFFORT.

ALLAN FUNG I CAN SAY IT AGAIN HE IS A NICE GUY AND I WISH HIM WELL AND I WISH HIM WELL IN WHATEVER HE DOES.

BUT HE WAS A NICE GUY PLAYING FOR THE WRONG TEAM.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE PLAYER WHO WANTS TO BE IN THE WORLD SERIES?

IT IS STILL A BLUE DISTRICT AND I CONVINCED ALLAN FUNG THAT EVERY POSSIBLE VOTE HE COULD GET AN EXTRA VOTES HE COULD GET BECAUSE HE IS A NICE GUY -- HE DID NOT DO AS WELL IN CRANSTON AS EXPECTED AND PROVIDENCE DID NOT TURN OUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO MAYORAL RACE.

BUT THE DISTRICT PERFORMED COMMUNITY BY COMMUNITY AS WE EXPECTED THEM TO.

>> AT SCHOOL UP THE MAP.

I KNOW SOME OUTLETS HAVE THIS LET'S LOOK AT THE CD2.

IT IS READ TO THE LEFT AND LOOP COAST -- BLUE COAST TO COAST.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE THE REST -- PRESIDENTIAL RACE OF 2020 AND THE NEW VERSION WE KNOW OF POLITICS.

-- IT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE CASE ANYMORE.

THERE WERE HIGH NUMBERS OF VOTERS THAT TURNED OUT IN SOME OF THE RED AREAS AND THE ELECTION CHANGE THAT 105 AND 108 PERCENT OF THE 2018 TOTALS TURNED OUT AT THESE AREAS AND THAT WAS ALLAN FUNG STILL NOT ENOUGH TO GET ALLAN FUNG ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

-- THAT WAS STILL NOT ENOUGH TO GET ALLAN FUNG ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU.

HE WAS WINNING WITH 60% OF THE VOTE AND I DID NOT HELP.

YEAH.

>> I WROTE A PIECE FOR A COLUMN A FEW WEEKS AGO SAYING SALTWATER CURES EVERYTHING AND IT WILL CURE THE ISSUES THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE.

IT WAS TERRIFIC BECAUSE OF ALL THE SALTWATER COMMUNITIES THE COMMUNITIES WERE IN THE SALTWATER DID INCREDIBLY WELL.

>> YOU SHOULD TRADEMARK THAT PHRASE.

>> WE WILL HAVE RHODE ISLAND POLITICS ADDED TO IT.

IT IS THE SWEAT TEARS OF THE SEA AND WE WILL ADD RHODE ISLAND POLITICS TO THE QUOTE.

BECAUSE THE TURNOUT WAS WARY IT WAS MOSTLY EXPECTED TO BE.

>> WE HAVE WORK TO DO.

I WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED WITH THAT LEVEL OF SUCCESS.

WE WANT TO START GETTING PEOPLE BACK TO THEIR DEMOCRATIC ROOTS.

>> THE NEW PAYER -- NEW MAYOR POLICY.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE SECOND-GUESSED SAYING WITH THIS BE THE YEAR THAT HE WOULD HAVE WON IF HE RAN FOR GOVERNOR?

AND WE WANT TO ASK THAT QUESTION A MINUTE AFTER WE LOST.

AND YOU WONDER IF THIS IS THE ALLAN FUNG LAST THAT WE WILL SEE OF ALLAN FUNG WILL -- IS THIS THE LAST THAT WE WILL SEE OF ALLAN FUNG?

>> I THINK PROBABLY NOT.

I AM LOOKING AT CRANSTON POSSIBLY RUNNING FOR MAYOR IN THE FUTURE.

X IT IS HARD TO THINK THAT ALAN WOULD RESURFACE IN ANY OF THE POLITICS ANYTIME SOON.

THE REALITY IS THE STINGING DEFEAT.

THAT IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE AT.

IF HE RUNS FOR GOVERNOR, I DO NOT THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE VOTE TOTALS IN THE WAY IT PLAYED OUT FOR THE KEY IT WAS NOT THE YEAR FOR -- FOR MCKEE IT WAS NOT THE YEAR FOR REPUBLICANS IN RHODE ISLAND.

THERE WAS MOMENTUM ON A NATIONAL BASIS THAT PLAYED OUT FOR DEMOCRATS.

NOTHING WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIM ACROSS THE FINISH LINE IN ANY MAJOR RACE.

>> HE STARTED HIS LINE AS A DEMOCRAT AND I AM HOPING THE PRODIGAL SON WILL RETURN.

>> I KNOW PLENTY OF COUPLES WHERE ONE SIDE IS DEMOCRATS AND ONE SIDE IS REPUBLICAN.

WE WILL TAKE THEM BOTH.

[LAUGHTER] >> LET'S STAY WITH YOU WITH THE GOVERNOR'S RACE -- WELCOME TO A SINGLE RETIREMENT.

YOU ARE A CONTRIBUTOR.

THAT HAS NOT STOPPED YOU BEFORE.

YOU WERE ALSO ADVISING DAVID MCKEE SAID LET'S GET THAT OUT.

-- DANIEL MCKEE.

SO LET'S GET THAT OUT THERE.

>> I DID NOT EXPECT THE VOTE I THOUGHT WE WOULD GET OVER 53% OF THE VOTE THAT JEANNIE GOT IN HER LAST ELECTION.

I DID NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS HIGH AS IT WAS.

I SAW IT TURN IN THE NEXT WEEK AND A HALF.

THE SECOND DISTRICT WORK OF DEMOCRATS HOME FOR SETH ADDING TO THE TOTAL FOR GOVERNOR MCKEE.

HAD THE FIRST DISTRICT TURNED OUT HEAVIER THEY WERE LIKE IN THERE TURNOUT YOU COULD HAVE SEEN GOVERNOR MCKEE WITH 60%.

>> DID HE HAVE A 60% IN POLLS OR NOT?

>> A COUPLE WEEKS BEFORE IT WAS SHOWING THAT THERE WAS NO REASON TO PANIC.

I THINK THERE WAS A LOT OF HYPE COMING WITH THE CAMPAIGN.

I THINK PEOPLE GET BORED SAYING THE RACE WAS CLOSE.

>> ONE OF THE FRUSTRATIONS IN THE PROCESS IN GENERAL IS PEOPLE MISINTERPRET THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN.

THE DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION SPENDS MONEY AT THE END AND THEY SAY THEY COULD BE SPENDING MONEY BECAUSE IT IS CLOSE.

THEY COULD BE SPENDING MONEY TO GET THE LAST UNDECIDED VOTERS WHO ARE USUALLY SWING VOTERS AT THE END.

A REASON TO SPEND MONEY AT THE GOVERNOR RACE IS THE TURNOUT TO HELP THE CONGRESSIONAL SEAT.

OR TO HELP ALL THE DOWN BALLOT RACES.

SO DO NOT TELL US WHAT YOU ARE DOING WE WILL TELL YOU WHAT WE ARE DOING BUT NOT BEFORE THE ELECTION.

>> AND BEFORE THE RACE WITH THE GOVERNOR YOU HAVE ONE -- DID THE RESULT SURPRISE YOU?

A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION WHEN YOU GOT TO SEE IT IN PERSON WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT?

>> AT LOOKED AT IT AND SAW A IT IS A BLUE STATE AND THE RUNNING IS TOUGH.

I THOUGHT GOVERNOR MCKEE WOULD WIN THE ELECTIONS THOUGH FULL FOUR-YEAR TERM.

BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CLOSER AND I DID NOT THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE A BLOWOUT.

ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING KAYLEE SPENT $5,000 -- MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

AND THERE WAS ALL THIS TYPE SAYING IT WAS CLOSE.

>> YOU PUT YOUR NAME ON THE BALLOT AND YOU BREATHE AND YOU BASICALLY GET A 30% SHOT.

>> WHEN PEOPLE ARE BELOW -- SPENT MORE MONEY THAN >> WHAT IS THE NEW FAMOUS LINE?

HE GOT 21-23 SENATE VOTE HE SENT $20?

>> I WISH WE COULD SPEND $20 WE COULD RUN THE RACE.

BUT IT WAS FOR ME WAS MODERATING THE DEBATE AND COVERING THESE PEOPLE CLOSELY FOR MY ENTIRE CAREER -- GUESS NUMBER ONE ON MY PODCAST.

THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN HER IN AND OUT OF -- ASHLEY KALUS IN AND OUT OF ENVIRONMENTS AND SHE HAS THE GIFT OF GAB AND SHE WAS VERY APPEALING.

WITH FBI INVESTIGATION AND CORRECTION WE WILL GIVE YOU FREE ELECTRICITY WHATEVER THE CASE WOULD BE.

THAT WAS VERY APPEALING.

BUT I WENT TO HER DEMOCRATS AND IT WAS A SAD EVENT.

IT WAS SOME KIND OF TRUCK ANGER.

-- ANGER.

THERE WERE PEOPLE GRILLING INSIDE.

I HAD 50 PEOPLE SMOKING CIGARETTES IN MY FACE.

AND BY THE TIME I RECOVERED FROM THAT AND MADE MY WAY BACK INTO THE HANGAR -- MATTHEW ELLIS THE PRO BUS WAS PARKED THERE THE DOOR OF THE BUS WILL OPEN AND OUTCOMES -- IT'S HELENA FOLKES LEE AND JOHNSON YOU HAVE A BIG-TIME BASKETBALL ANNOUNCER MAKING THE ENTRANCE.

AND IT WAS MATTIE SMITH?

DAY FONTS OF -- A LOT OF COUNSELORS NORTH OF TOWN.

>> IT WAS THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN.

>> IT SHOWED JUST HOW THIS THING IS NOT REAL.

THIS WHOLE THING IS THE BUS IS NICE AND YOU'VE GOT NICE COLOR SCHEME AND IT MAKES PEOPLE SAY OH IS SHE A REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT?

BUT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ON BOARD WITH THIS.

>> I WILL SAY THE KALUS CAMPAIGN HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS IF IT WAS STRUCTURED DIFFERENTLY.

WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE WITH THE $5 MILLION I WOULD HAVE MADE SURE ONE MILLION OF IT WOULD HAVE WENT TO THE DOWN CANDIDATES WHO HAD THEIR FOLLOWINGS AND THEY HAD CONTESTANTS FIGHTING BATTLES ON MULTIPLE FRONTS.

>> BELINDA -- AND OTHERS.

>> RIGHT.

AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE.

AND SHE DID IT EFFECTIVELY DEFINE HERSELF BEFORE SHE WENT FULL NEGATIVE.

SHE DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE PEOPLE SHE WAS TALKING TO.

SHE HAD SHARP PEOPLE AROUND HER SO I ASSUME SHE WAS LISTENING TO THEIR ADVICE.

AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, WE ARE SUCH A SMALL STATE AND THERE IS A WHOLE, -- I DID NOT THINK SHE WAS GOING TO WIN ANY REAL POLLING.

>> IT WAS HARD TO KNOW WHO THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR WAS.

FOR A LITTLE WHILE WE THOUGHT IT WAS -- REMEMBER WHEN -- >> THE SAME THING FOR A FEW OTHER STATEWIDE RACES AS WELL.

IF YOU'RE RUNNING FOR STATE AND YOU WANT TO GET A LEG UP START ABOUT A YEAR OUT TO GET A LEG UP DIFFERENCE.

>> IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE HOW DO YOU TELL PEOPLE WHO YOU ARE?

IT IS NO SECRET I HELP CANDIDATES CARE FOR THE DEBATES I WATCHED ALL THE DEBATE AND I PAY ATTENTION TO THEM.

I TURNED TO ONE OF HER CANDIDATES WHERE SHE WAS TALKING TO KINSEY IN ECONOMICS AND SHE QUOTED TEDDY KENNEDY WITHOUT REFERENCING HIM AND HE SAID THOSE ARE MY LINES THAT IS MY TEAM SHE IS QUOTING SHE SHOULD BE A DEMOCRAT.

>> AND THE THING IS WE SAW NO REAL ALLIANCE BETWEEN ALLAN FUNG AND ASHLEY KALUS THERE WAS APPARENTLY BEEF THERE.

WE SAW ATTENTION ON ELECTION NIGHT AND THAT MAY HAVE HELPED OVERALL RESULTS.

BUT ACTUALLY KALUS IS A VERY SMART WOMAN.

SHE HAS GREAT CREDENTIALS AND SHE IS SOULFUL.

I DO NOT THINK SHE IS FAR RIGHT AND I DON'T THINK HER HEART IS ILL WITH HATE.

I'VE SEEN OLD ON PEOPLE WITH THIS AND IN MY MIND SHE IS A SMART WOMAN WHO JUST DID NOT KNOW WHO SHE WAS POLITICALLY.

SHE WAS POLITICALLY.

SHE IS A FIGHTER.

WET S>> SHE WAS MEAN AS A CANDIDATE THOUGH.

SHE THREW THAT AS A CANDIDATE BUT I THINK THEY REBOUNDED FROM IT.

>> YOU HAVE A LOOMING OF THE FBI INVESTIGATIONS AND THE CONTRACT AND THE RECORD WHEN IT COMES TO EDUCATION -- THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION TO THROW TO THE HAYMAKER'S BUT -- >> LET'S PULL UP THE LINE FOR GOVERNOR.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME DEAL ALL IN THE UPPER WESTERN PART OF THE STATE IS RED.

PROBABLY NO SURPRISES HERE.

>> NONE WHATSOEVER.

YOU WONDER IS THERE SOME KIND OF SILENT MAJORITY IN CUMBERLAND THAT WILL TURN OUT AGAINST GOVERNOR MCKEE AND IT JUST DID NOT EXIST.

AND LIKE HE SAID, IT JUST NEVER MATERIALIZED.

AND THE BARBS SHE WAS USING THE FBI INVESTIGATION -- FOR THOSE OF US ON THE INSIDE OF THIS AND KNOW THE TRUTH IS MIND BOGGLINGLY LOW HANGING.

>> IT IS LOW HANGING OF THE TRUTH.

WHAT I SAY ABOUT THIS AND THE DAYS FOLLOWING IS THAT IT REALLY HELPED THE UNITED FRONT OF ALL THE DEMOCRATS GOING TOGETHER.

WE SAW GREGG AMORE HE, PETER OVERWROTE JOE UP -- SHOW UP.

YOU NEVER SAW FONG AND KAYLA'S TOGETHER.

AND I THINK -- FUNG AND KALUS TOGETHER.

BUT ALAN WAS THE MARQUEE CANDIDATE OF THE REPUBLICAN.

>> AND HE WAS GREAT DOOR TO DOOR.

NEXT I COULD NOT SAY -- I COULD SAY IT FOR SIX MONTHS ALLEN IS A NICE GUY.

>> I WAS ON MESSAGE.

-- WE WANT HIM -- >> LET'S GO TO GENERA ASSEMBLY.

I KNOW YOU INTERVIEWED A LOT OF CANDIDATES IN THE A LOT OF PROVINCES.

TELL ME THE RACES YOU WERE LOOKING AT.

I WAS LOOKING AT HOUSE 21 AND THE ONE BETWEEN HOPKINS AND CAMILLO -- AND RIGHT NOW I DO NOT KNOW IF ALL THE BALLOTS ARE RIGHT NOW BUT CAMILLO IS UP 16 VOTES.

AND THE HOUSE 39 BETWEEN JUSTIN PRYCE AND MEGAN CONNOR.

AND THERE WAS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE THAT WAS CONSERVATIVE AS WELL.

FOR VOTES.

EVERY VOTE COUNTS.

AGAIN.

I WAS LOOKING AT AND IT 29 -- THAT RESULT WAS NOT AS CLOSE AS -- IT WAS A LITTLE MORE INTO THE REPUBLICAN THAN I THOUGHT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CLOSER.

>> BECAUSE HE ESTABLISHED AND THEN GOT BEHIND.

>> 16 AND THE FOUR RIGHT?

THE RECOUNT.

THE RUNOFF.

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> REV.

WARNOCK WOULD BE INCUMBENT.

-- AS OF YESTERDAY AS WORK -- I SPOKE WITH THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS AND NO RECOUNT HAD BEEN ISSUED.

>> SHE SAID SHE WOULD ENSURE RECOUNTS WOULD BE ADDRESSED IF NEEDED IN THESE RACES.

>> CARTER HER RANT AGAINST PRICE IN 2020 AS A MEMBER OF RHODE ISLAND -- GENWORTH CAN JANINE CULKIN AND THAT ROUND CHAIR.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WINNING INLAND, I GREW UP THERE, IT INCLUDES RICHMOND AND TALKINGTON.

THIS IS AN INTERESTING TEXT FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S A PROGRESSIVE BUT NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRESSIVES GOING IN AND TAKING OUT A SEATING REPUBLICAN IN THIS DISTRICT.

JUSTICE PRICE WAS YET JANUARY -- AT JANUARY 6 THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS YOU CAN USE TO PIN HIM DOWN.

SO IT IS NOT LIKE HE IS RUNNING AGAINST -- THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS RACE.

INTERESTINGLY TEXT THE GROUND AGAIN IS DIFFICULT.

AND IT MAY BE A PATHWAY FOR DEMOCRATS TO AN END TO SOME OF THESE.

>> OR TAKE THEM BACK BECAUSE THE -- WE HAVE THE SEEDS IN THE -- SEATS IN THE STATE.

FOSTER GLOUCESTER AREA AND IN THE NORTH AND CO REMINGTON.

THE MOST DISTURBING PART OF THE GOVERNOR'S RACE IS THE BLEED OUT OF JOHNSTON'S FIELD WHERE WE NORMALLY CAN RELY ON THE DEMOCRATIC TURNOUT.

>> SPEAKING OF JOHNSON THERE WAS CLOSE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SEATS AS WELL HOUSE 42 AND 43 -- JOHNSON REPUBLICANS DID TRY TO CAPITALIZE ON THE FACT THAT JOHNSON VOTED FOR TRUMP AND THERE ARE VOTERS THAT VOTED FOR DEMOCRAT BUT THEY ARE AGAINST TRUMP SO THEY POSSIBLY GOT THAT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SEAT SO THOSE WERE CLOSE.

>> AND PUTTING UP CANDIDATES FOR FEWER OPEN SEATS THE REPUBLICANS COULD NOT PUT IT OVER THE FINISH LINE.

WHAT STRUCK ME IS -- MINORITY LEADER DENNIS ALGIERE GOT REPLACED BY A DEMOCRAT -- MAYBE THE NUMBERS BALANCE OUT.

>> THOUGH SEATS ARE PERSONALITY BASED.

TWO YOUR POINT, INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES CAN DO WELL REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION WHEN THEY ARE WELL-KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITIES.

DEMOCRATS LIKE DENNIS ALGIERE AND BLAKE STARTED AS INDEPENDENT THEN FLIPPED TO REPUBLICAN AFTER HE HAD THE SEAT.

HE WORKED HARD TO BE REELECTED IN THAT FIELD.

I THINK ANYBODY CAN WIN ANYWHERE WITH A CERTAIN PARAMETER AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CONCOCTION STATEWIDE THAT VARIES STATE TO STATE.

>> I THINK IT'S INTERESTING WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT RACE WITHOUT THE SPIKING OF FOOTBALL AND CELEBRATING DEMOCRATS RIGHTFULLY EARNED YOU KNOW MORE ON ELECTION NIGHT AND YOU FEEL THE ENERGY THERE HAS TO BE A DECISION MADE.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS ENCOMPASSED A LOT OF CONSERVATIVES IN THE STATE.

THERE IS A BREACH THAT IS PULLED FROM REPUBLICANS.

THERE ARE PEOPLE INSIDE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY WHO WERE PROGRESSIVELY DEMOCRATS OR ARE -- HOW WILLING IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO ACCEPT THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT WORK OUT THERE?

THAT WE WILL NOT WORK AGAINST THEM WE WILL INVITE THEM INTO OUR TENT.

WE WILL NOT BE FEARFUL OF HAVING THESE POWERFUL PROGRESSIVES UNDER OUR TENT.

>> THERE ARE PLENTY OF PROGRESSIVES OUT THERE THE CO-OP INCLUDED IN ITS TICKET THAT THEY WOULD VOTING AGAINST -- VOTE AGAINST -- THAT IS AS REPUBLICAN OF THE TACTIC AS YOU GOT.

THEY SAID TO VOTERS I WILL GO UP THERE AND BE -- GO TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE PLACE AND SAY TO HECK WITH YOU.

>> EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES VOTED FOR THAT LEADERSHIP.

THEY ARE TELLING PEOPLE I WILL BE IRRELEVANT BECAUSE I HAVE SIGNED ON TO THIS CO-OP.

>> AND I RECALLED THE DAY THAT JOE DZHOKHAR SHE WAS AN ELEVATED SPEAKER AS WE WERE LEAVING -- ELECTED OFFICIALS WERE LEAVING THE CREPE FISA -- BOOMING.

>> RIGHT -- LESS NEW OUTRAGES OR KUDOS.

>> I HAVE A KUDOS.

I WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED IN ELECTION POLLS.

WE KNEW THE RESULTS QUICKLY.

>> LET ME ECHO WHAT HE SAID THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED AND THOSE HO RAN ON BOTH SIES.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING DEMOCRACY WITH THE CANDIDATES THAT RAN.

ALL THE VOTES THAT WERE ALREADY DONE BY 8:00 IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT NOTRE DAME WORKED THEM IN.

DO NOT GET EXCITED ALONG THE WAY.

-- THE WOMAN THAT RAN AGAINST CAMILLE PATTERSON -- SAID I WANT UNTIL THEY COUNTED THE MAIL-IN BALLOTS.

>> KNOW YOU LOST.

>> VERY QUICKLY KUDOS TO ANYBODY WHO PUT IN THE BALLOT THIS YEAR.

IT IS EASY TO SAY THAT IT IS EASY TO COMPLAIN AND SAY THAT THINGS SHOULD BE ASKED WHY AND SEE GO ON TWITTER AND TALK RADIO WHERE EVER IT MAY BE TO PUT YOUR NAME ON A BALLOT WHEREVER YOU STAND I GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR THAT AND KUDOS TO THOSE WHO WERE BOLD ENOUGH TO DO SO.

>> YOU FOLLOW POLITICS PRETTY CLOSELY IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING DYNAMIC.

I THINK BRETT SMILING MADE A POST BECAUSE I THINK REPUBLICANS WERE OK WITH HIM AS OPPOSED TO PUTTING SOMEBODY OUT.

SO WE THINK IT IS A COUNCIL THAT WILL BE -- >> A LOT MORE PROGRESSIVE AND YOUNGER.

THE TERM LIMITS KICKED IN SO YOU HAVE YOUR COUNCILMEMBERS WHO ARE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE MORE CENTRIST IN THE RIGHT THEN THE PROGRESSIVES ARE IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS NOW.

SO THEY COULD RUN FOR REELECTION AND THOSE ARE OPEN SEATS.

IN PROPPANTS AS WELL I HAVE THE NUMBERS THE QUESTION FOR THE SCHOOL -- HYBRID SCHOOL BOARD PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.

>> DESPITE THE FORMER MAYOR LOBBYING HEAVILY AGAINST THAT.

>> I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT.

I WOULD THINK IF YOU HAVE THE CURRENT AIR LACKED IN A COUPLE MAYORS BEFORE THAT LOBBYING AGAINST THAT BUT NOW I HEAR FROM PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES THEY THINK I DID NOT WANT THIS IDEA AND IT WILL INJECT THE POLITICS.

SOME ARE SAYING WE DO NOT WANT -- WE WILL VOTE NO ON THIS I DID NOT THINK IT WOULD PASS WITH A LANDSLIDE BUT IT DID.

>> LET'S MAKE SURE THE GARBAGE IS PICKED UP AND GET OFF OF ALL THE SOCIAL STUFF -- YOU WANT TO HAVE A PRACTICE -- AND WHETHER HE WILL HAVE TO DO A HYBRID ON THAT.

>> IT WILL BE HYBRID.

I THINK A LOT OF THE PROGRAMS THAT HE INSTITUTED -- THE CLASSIC HIGH SCHOOL.

>> A LOT OF THOSE THINGS ARE DUALIST AND PRE-K THEY ARE COMMONSENSE POLICIES THAT WERE NOT ALWAYS PUT UP IN A WAY THAT THE -- THIS TERM SOUNDS DEMEANING BUT THE INFORMATION A PERSON'S THOUGHT -- I SAW A 6:00 NEWS THAT LORIS IS DOING EVERYONE'S LAUNDRY FOR THEM I THINK THE SMILEY ADMINISTRATION BOTH FIND A WAY TO BACK IT PROGRAMS IN A WAY THAT IS MORE -- >> YOU GET 30 SECONDS AND YOU GET THE LAST 15 GO.

>> I THINK YOU CAN DO ANYTHING AS LONG AS YOU PLATEAU TO EVERYTHING ELSE.

>> YES, YOU HAVE A CAMBRIDGE CALL SOLD BY A MAYOR WHO -- >> I WAS WRONG I DID NOT THINK HE COULD WIN HE DID WHEN AND I THINK THE SMARTEST THING HE ALREADY PUT OUT THERE AS HE WORKS FOR THE SPEAKER, PRESIDENT, AND GOVERNOR TO MAKE -- >> ADDING ONTO DAD TO FOCUS ON THE BASICS.

I LIVE IN PROVIDENCE -- I'VE LIVED THERE 10 YEARS PLEASE TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUES WITH THE ROADS.

AND THE SAME TIME YOU DO THE POLICIES.

-- >> YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE POTHOLE NEXT TO YOUR HOUSE IS THAT WHAT IT IS?

>> THE ROADS ARE CRACKED AND CAVING IN IT IS TERRIBLE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU GUYS COME BACK WE HAVE A SPECIAL PANEL NEXT WEEK WE WILL BEING -- BRING PEOPLE UP FROM STUDENTS AT OUR YOU AND TALK ABOUT WHERE GEN Z FIT INTO THIS.

WE WILL -- IT WILL PLAY OUT OVER THE NEXT WEEK OF HOW IT AFFECTED THE CONGRESSIONAL RACES.

COME FOR THAT NEXT WEEK.

IN THE MEANTIME WE APPRECIATE YOU JOINING US.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR A LIVELY EXPERIMENT.
