Season 6, Episode 2: This week on the No Cap Podcast, we're sitting down with Ross Cooper — President & CIO of Kimco Realty (NYSE: KIM) — to talk about one of the most resilient asset classes in commercial real estate: grocery-anchored open-air retail. Ross is a third-generation real estate operator whose grandfather Milton Cooper co-founded Kimco back in 1958. After 20 years rising through the investment side of the platform, Ross now leads one of the largest publicly traded REITs in North America. This conversation covers all of it — the origin story, the GFC, the "retail apocalypse" narrative, and how Kimco has quietly built one of the most durable portfolios in the business. We get into how Kimco underwrites acquisitions (location + basis, always), why grocery anchors drive daily and weekly foot traffic that no other asset class can replicate, and how the four segments of the grocery market — traditional, discount, organic, and ethnic — each attract a distinct co-tenancy ecosystem. Ross also breaks down Kimco's approach to redevelopment and densification, including 13,000+ multifamily units either built, under construction, or fully entitled across their portfolio, and why turning a sea of surface parking into a 25-story mixed-use tower can be additive — not disruptive — to the retail below. We also cover Kimco's structured investment program in preferred equity and mezz financing, how they think about balance sheet discipline (including a decade-long push to earn an A-minus credit rating from all three agencies), and why new ground-up retail construction would require 50–60% rent increases in most markets just to pencil — a supply constraint that's quietly been one of the biggest tailwinds for existing center owners. If you want to understand how a REIT that's been in the business since Eisenhower still finds mispriced assets, turns over capital intelligently, and thinks about what comes next — this episode is it.

Hart, Fitzy and Johnson discuss Matthew Stafford's contract negotiations with the Los Angeles Rams, and they weigh Tom Brady's impact on Stafford's near-departure from LA. Plus, the guys debate Patriots' QB Joe Milton's value as a trade asset for the team, given the amount of NFL teams who are starved for good QB play. Also, WEEI Red Sox broadcaster Cooper Boardman joins the guys to recap the team's spring training loss to the Phillies on Friday afternoon, address the team's third base dilemma and other infield decisions Boston must make, evaluate Boston's starting rotation strength and depth, and much more. They then react to Cooper's assertions about Boston's starting rotation, and measure that group against others in Major League Baseball.

Woodrow Wilson is one of the most legislatively accomplished progressive presidents in American history. His list of achievements ranges from the first progressive income tax to the creation of the Federal Reserve, an inheritance tax, a child labor law, and more. But a list doesn't do justice to the effort it took to get these laws passed or the impact they had on the Americans' lives.Join me as I talk with John Milton Cooper, a professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of Pulitzer Prize-finalist Woodrow Wilson, a Biography, about the progressive legacy of Woodrow Wilson.Support the show
In this episode, Xavier Bonilla has a dialogue with John Milton Cooper about the life and presidency of Woodrow Wilson. They discuss the impact of the South, racism, and living in the North for Wilson. They talk about why the practice of law was not suited for Wilson and how he was more academic and cerebral in many ways. They talk about his book, Congressional Government, the infamous presidential election of 1912, and the first term domestic successes. They talk about Wilson's challenges with race while in office, why he kept the United States out of World War I, and the 14 points and League of Nations. They also mention his stroke, legacy, and many other topics. John Milton Cooper is a Historian and author who is a worldwide expert on Woodrow Wilson. He is Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he taught history for 40 years. He the author of numerous books including the Pulitzer Prize Finalist, Woodrow Wilson: A Biography. You can find his work here.
Stu Levitan welcomes UW Professor Emeritus John Milton Cooper, Jr., for part two of their discussion of one of the most important presidents in American history – Thomas Woodrow Wilson, whose legacy is as complex and controversial as any of our Chief Magistrates. Wilson amassed one of the most impressive records of progressive legislation of any president, yet left the worst record on race relations of any president in the 20th century, and allowed egregious violations of civil liberties. He kept us out of war in Mexico, but took us into war in Europe. A great student and thinker about good government, he was sloppy in appointing his cabinet officials and negligent in supervising them. A devout Presbyterian, he appointed the first Jew to the US Supreme Court, was the first president to visit the Roman Catholic Pope, and was buried in an Episcopal cathedral. And he's the man after whom Woody Guthrie is named. It's a record so rich for discussion this is our second show devoted to it, following a segment on February 15. There's no better guide to the life and times of our 28th President than John Milton Cooper, Jr., whom the Boston Globe called “the preeminent living historian of Wilson and his era.” We take for our primary text his 2009 volume Woodrow Wilson: A Biography, which the NY Times called “monumental,” and which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. And we also note his earlier work, The Warrior and the Priest: Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. It seems Professor Cooper has spent his life in the world of Woodrow Wilson. He even graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington D.C., and received his bachelor′s degree summa cum laude from Wilson's alma mater, Princeton University, where Wilson later taught and served as president. Prof Cooper took his advanced degrees at Columbia University, and after a few years at Wellesley College, came to the University of Wisconsin, where he rose to hold two named chairs in History and American Institutions, and chair the famed Department of History before taking Emeritus status in 2009. And that's even another Wilson connection – when Wilson was a graduate student at Johns Hopkins, one of his favorite professors was Richard T. Ely, and one of his favorite students was Frederick Jackson Turner, both of whom would become famed members of the Wisconsin faculty. He has written half a dozen books, dozens of articles, and received numerous honors. He was the honorary president of the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace Foundation, and the chief historian on the 2002 American Experience biography of Wilson produced for PBS. I hope you were with us last week for the conversation with Jennifer Chiaverini about her historical fiction, The Women's March, about the Woman Suffrage Procession of 1913, and the suffragists effort to get Wilson to endorse a constitutional amendment enfranchising women. Because that is where we pick up our conversation, before going on to talk about race, the war, and other matters. It is a pleasure to again present on Madison BookBeat my friend, UW Professor Emeritus John Milton Cooper, Jr.

On this third Monday of February, a day commonly, but mistakenly, called President's Day, Stu Levitan welcomes UW Professor Emeritus John Milton Cooper, Jr., for a discussion of one of the most important presidents in American history – Thomas Woodrow Wilson, whose legacy is as complex and controversial, as any of our Chief Magistrates. It's a record so rich for discussion we're taking two hours to cover it, with out second segment set for early April. He amassed one of the most impressive records of progressive legislation of any president, yet left the worst record on race relations of any president in the 20th century, and allowed egregious violations of civil liberties. He kept us out of war in Mexico, but took us into war in Europe.
