0:21.0 | Len and Michael in the morning. I also co-host always in fashion here on 710 WOR with my father, |
0:26.4 | Mark Weber on Saturday and Sunday nights. I'm a legal contributor on News Nation, anchor on the |
0:31.7 | Law and Crime Network, and today I get to be with all of you. A lot to get into today. We're going to talk about the prosecutor going after Donald Trump. We'll talk a little Biden. We'll talk the MTA. But the first thing I got to talk about is |
