On this episode of Closed!, Lee sits down with New York State Senator Nathalia Fernandez, who represents the 34th Senate District covering parts of the Bronx and Westchester, to discuss the Fair and Transparent Real Estate Listings Act and the debate over pocket listings in New York real estate.Senator Fernandez breaks down what pocket listings are, why private or limited-access listings can leave sellers without full information and buyers without a fair chance to compete, and how her bill seeks to bring more transparency into the home sale process. Rather than banning private listings outright, the legislation would require sellers to be informed about where their property is being marketed and to provide written consent before a listing is kept off broadly accessible platforms.The conversation also explores the fair housing implications of hidden listings, how restricted access can shape who sees available homes, what brokers and agents should be preparing for if the bill becomes law, and why transparency is becoming a larger theme in real estate policy. Senator Fernandez also discusses the rise of AI-altered listing photos, “house fishing,” and the broader need to make sure buyers and sellers know what is real, what is available, and what choices they actually have.To learn more about Senator Nathalia Fernandez and her work, visit nysenate.gov or follow her on Instagram at @senfernandez34 and @fernandez4ny To learn more about Lee and Bergstein Flynn Knowlton & Pollina PLLC, visit bfkplaw.comTo find out more about Bergstein Flynn Knowlton & Pollina PLLC, visit our website at bfkplaw.com.

Missouri State Senator Nick Schroer joins Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge on Primary Election Day to discuss turnout projections and the structural strategy behind Amendments 4 and 5. Senator Schroer addresses voter concerns regarding Amendment 5, clarifying that keeping the constitutional text open-ended was intended to maximize legislative flexibility in eliminating special interest tax loopholes rather than expanding sales taxes onto daycares, healthcare, or real estate. Schroer reveals a "Plan B" strategy if Amendment 5 fails, pledging that conservative leadership will use statutory mechanisms and spending cuts to accelerate income tax reductions toward zero.

"I absolutely handled some things wrong after my fathers death." The words of Nicole Mitchell, who still feels that her community trusts her as civic leader in Woodbury, where she is running for City Council. In an honest interview, she talked with Vineeta Sawkar about returning to the public eye of running for office.

In this episode, hosts Tyler Suksawat, Will Beaman, and Scott Ferguson sit down with Washington State Senator Bob Hasegawa to explore his nearly two-decade campaign to establish a public bank in Washington State, launched in the wake of the 2008 Wall Street crash.The conversation situates Hasegawa's tireless public banking advocacy within his broader political formation. Born to a Japanese American family that suffered forced incarceration by the U.S. government during World War II, Hasegawa went on to enter the trades and join the Teamsters during a historic turning point for organized labor. As a leader in the rank-and-file movement to democratize the union and eradicate systemic corruption, Hasegawa was elected to union leadership in the Teamsters' first-ever democratic vote, only to subsequently witness a disappointing return to corruption enabled by the Clinton administration. This early crucible in rank-and-file organizing and institutional power profoundly shaped his career in the Washington State House and Senate, grounding his legislative focus on labor rights, racial justice, and public accountability.Dedicating the core of the discussion to the mechanics and necessity of public finance, Hasegawa articulates why public banks are vital tools for democratizing money, keeping public revenues working for local communities, and serving as a countercyclical buffer during market downturns. In a fascinating historical turn, Hasegawa walks through the founding of the Bank of North Dakota over a century ago, revealing how the agrarian movement behind the bank actually drew inspiration from progressive public ownership projects underway in Seattle at the time. This historical connection links the century-old legacy of the Bank of North Dakota directly back to Washington State, demonstrating that the current movement for public banking in Washington is coming full circle to its original inspiration. Finally, Hasegawa frames public banking as a truly global movement, exploring how different public financial structures around the world—such as Germany's municipal Sparkassen system—can learn from one another, cooperate, and move in international solidarity to build an equitable, democratically governed financial architecture.Check out the Substack for the Washington State Public Banking Workgroup currently chaired by Senator Hasegawa.See here for the 2026 SB 5754 Work Session and Public Testimony for Hasegawa's public banking legislation. Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureOriginal music by Josh Klinghoffer 

State Senator Kristen Gonzalez is a former tech worker, a democratic socialist, the youngest member of the New York State Senate and she chairs its Internet and Technology Committee. Since first being elected in 2022, she has championed legislation to rein in the excesses of Big Tech companies. In June, she played a key role in shepherding data center moratorium legislation through the Senate and was present when Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order last week for a one-year data center moratorium, the first of its kind in the United States. In this interview, we discussed the moratorium and the many questions it raises.

What happens when your entire life changes overnight?Former Arkansas State Senator Jeremy Hutchinson appeared to have it all—a successful legal career, a respected position in public office, and a future in politics. Then a federal investigation changed everything.In this powerful episode of Nightmare Success In and Out, host Brent Cassity sits down with Jeremy to discuss the personal journey behind the headlines. Jeremy opens up about growing up in one of Arkansas' most prominent political families, serving in the Arkansas Legislature, facing federal prosecution, making the difficult decision to plead guilty, serving time in federal prison, and eventually receiving a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump.But this conversation isn't about reliving the past.It's about what happens after it.Jeremy shares the emotional toll prison took on his family, the unexpected brotherhood he discovered behind bars, the lessons he learned about identity and purpose, and why he now dedicates his life to criminal justice reform as Director of Strategic Initiatives for Unify.US.This episode is an honest conversation about accountability, resilience, redemption, and discovering that your worst chapter doesn't have to define the rest of your story.If you've ever faced failure, loss, public judgment, or wondered whether people truly deserve a second chance, this episode is for you.Show sponsors: Navigating the challenges of white-collar crime?

Former Missouri State Senator John Lamping joins The Marc Cox Morning Show to unpack why moving St. Charles County school board elections to November is a genuine conservative win — tripling voter turnout and finally forcing accountability into races long dominated by teachers' union money and low-turnout special elections. Lamping goes deeper, exposing how nearly 90 Missouri counties remain captive to public school administrators who've filled the void left after prayer was pulled from classrooms decades ago, replacing it with radical gender ideology and trans education. He also slams the Post-Dispatch for a biased hit piece targeting conservative elections director candidate Jen Olson, and breaks down why Missouri's property tax system punishes homeowners and seniors alike. Before signing off, Lamping gives an inside look at the money finally flowing behind Amendments 4 and 5 — critical ballot measures three weeks from decision day. Marc closes strong, reminding listeners his full voter guide is live now at 971talk.com. Straight talk, real solutions — that's what you get every morning on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

On this episode of Closed!, Lee sits down with NY State Senator Kristen Gonzalez, who represents District 59 in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and serves as Chair of the Senate Internet and Technology Committee, to discuss her sponsorship of the Responsible Data Center Development Act.Senator Gonzalez breaks down why data centers have become such a pressing issue in New York, particularly as large language models and generative AI drive demand for hyperscale facilities that consume great amounts of energy and water.
