Mark Simone on 710 WOR. Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Joe in Long Island. Joe, how you doing? I'm doing great, Mark. Question for you, we had a whole lot of hoopla about Leticia James and her real estate shenanigans about a month ago. I haven't heard a word since. Are they still looking into it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that's bad for her. When you don't hear about it, when it goes quiet, it means they're putting the case together. Uh, it's a pretty strong case because it's all documents and paper. Yeah, no, no. She, uh, she's got a real problem, a serious problem. Notice you don't hear much out of her anymore either because this is going to trial and it's going to be serious stuff. Let's go to Bob and Bridgeport. Bob, how you doing?
