Here's what's happening today in America. Contempt of Congress. ISIS arrested, key price tag, an MBA legend passes. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the Department of Justice recorded an interview with President Biden about his mishandling of classified documents. The special counsel Robert Herr said in his written conclusion that the Department

of Justice should not bring charges against Biden because he would just come across as a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. So what's the point? House Republican said, we'd like to see the video please and the Attorney General Merrick Garland said no so the House just voted to hold Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress

a group of eight Tajikistan migrants or Tajikistani migrants linked to ISIS have been arrested after they crossed the southern border but they weren't arrested at the border they came in at least two of them came in back in the spring of 2023 they were arrested in Los Angeles Philadelphia and New York City and when they came across, their criminal background checks came in clean.

One of the migrants secured parole through the CBP-1 mobile app. Since 2021, almost 400 illegal aliens have come across who are on the terror watch list. That's just what we know about. The Department of Transportation has estimated that rebuilding the Francis Scott Keybridge in Baltimore will cost $1.7 billion. So that means $5 billion. The channel just reopened completely. There's more debris to clean up, but the channel part is open.

So on to rebuilding. Mark this broadcast. I'm going to guess, I'm going to say it's going to take eight years and $5 billion. That's my guess, knowing government. NBA legend Jerry West has passed away at the age of 86. Legendary, if for no other reason, he's the silhouette of the NBA logo. Born in 1938 in a small town of West Virginia, won the state championships in high school, played college ball at West Virginia University,

then it was drafted by the Lakers, who were in the midst of moving from Minneapolis to L.A., the NBA's first team on the West Coast. The artist who used Jerry West's silhouette for inspiration said he found the inspiration in West's perfect dribbling form. He said, quote, it's the easiest job I ever had. In 2019, President Donald J. Trump gave West the presidential Medal of Freedom.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Thursday, there's an interesting and relevant parallel between how Joe Biden runs the country and supervises his own family. He is the Biden patriarch, as well as the president, as you know, and his decision-making is strange. range in both situations. Hunter Biden never should have gone to trial. The evidence that he illegally bought a handgun while addicted to drugs is overwhelming. His defense was, well, I'm a drug addict. You can't hold me responsible. Well, Hunter and his hapless but very expensive lawyers could and should have copped a plea and taken the light sentence he will get in October without all the frenzy.

Instead, he allows federal prosecutors to embarrass him and his family. His former girlfriend, even saying Hunter, led her into crack addiction. Nice. Joe Biden should have insisted that his son back off and plead guilty because he is guilty. Now the president says Hunter might appeal. What? The evidence is overwhelming. So what can Joe Biden be possibly thinking? I don't know. At this point, I don't know if Joe Biden is capable of thinking at all. But I do know this. The Biden family collective resume has not been enhanced. Hunter is the only child of a president in office

ever to be convicted of a crime. The whole thing is one big mess, just like the country. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill o'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Name in town, if you wish to opine. Okay, let's go to the mail. We got Robert Cragan, Lincoln, California. Bill, I've watched you since the beginning on Fox. I trust and appreciate your honesty. Do you think Donald Trump and his second presidency should revoke the security clearances

of the clowns who signed the letter claiming the Biden laptop was Russian disformation? Absolutely. I would sign. I would, if any of them still have security clearances, boom. That was terrible what those 51 guys did. I would, boo. Paul Williams-Fresno, California. I'm tired of hearing.

that Trump did nothing to quiet the crowd in the Capitol building on January 6th. What could he do? The Secret Service is not going to let him out of the White House. Listen about that. It took Donald Trump three hours and 24 minutes to issue a video statement telling the rioters to stop. Too long. So the riots started at 1253, okay? And Trump's video, TV, came out of 417. In the ensuing hours, almost every advisor that he had said,

Mr. President, you've got to get out and you've got to tell these people to stand down, but he waited too long. That is the truth. I understand you might not want to believe it, but that is the truth. Now, I'm not given an excuse, but there's an awful lot of chaos swirling. But when you make a mistake, acknowledge it.

died suddenly at the age of 58. His death was mourned by politicians, pundits, and the public, regardless of their political persuasion. Here is Tim's story. Born in Buffalo, New York, Russard began his broadcasting career as the Washington Bureau Chief for NBC News. He became the host of the network Sunday morning program Meet the Press in 1991. For the next 17 years, millions of Americans watched each week as Russard interviewed the most powerful people in the world. Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John McCain, on and on.

He sat down with Vice President Dick Cheney at Camp David one week after the 9-11 terror attack. On June 13, 2008, Russert suffered a massive heart attack and died while sitting at his desk in Washington. President George Bush, the younger, released a statement while on a state visit to France, quote, Those of us who knew and worked with Tim, his many friends and millions of Americans who loyally followed his career on the air, will all miss him. Now, I knew Tim Russert. We were compatriots. We didn't work at the same network, but our past crossed fairly frequently, and he and I respected each other because of the work. So Russard was a Democrat and began his career advising people like Daniel Patrick Moynihan,

the Democratic Senator from New York. I'm an independent who leans traditional. So my life view was different than Tim Russert's, but we got a long rate. I think he admired my straightforward style, and I admired his lack of ideology. When interviewing, he would ask the toughest questions of everybody. I was really saddened when Tim Russard passed away. For his family, of course, but for the nation as well. Because I knew very few journalists like Tim come along.
