Trump, richer than ever, and no more hip-drop tackle. It's all coming up than Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the search for six of the construction workers who were on the Francis Scott Key Bridge has been called off. The loss of life could have been much worse. There was enough time between the distress call and the collision for traffic to be blocked.

We don't know how many more people would have been on that bridge. But efforts were made to stop people from driving on it at about 1.30 on Monday morning. The eight-person construction crew was still on the bridge at the time filling potholes. Two of them survived. This crash has cut off all five terminals at the port of Baltimore, which handles most of the East Coast's shipping of farm and construction machinery, as well as cars and light trucks. The president of Mexico said that the flow of migrants will continue his words, unless the United States meets his demands. What are those demands? Well, $20 billion a year, billion a year for poor countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, lifting sanctions on Venezuela and ending the Cuban embargoes.

to communist countries and also legalize all Mexicans who are living in the United States. This is what happens when you have a weak president. You have countries like Mexico giving us ultimatums. When Trump was in office, we had the Remain in Mexico program.

Mexico wasn't extorting us. Speaking of Donald Trump, you can now own a share of Donald Trump's truth social platform. Trump Media and Technology Group uses the ticker symbol DJT began trading on NASDAQ yesterday. The company's market gap is

$2.7 billion. Trump himself owns 58% of the shares. And due to this merger and going public, Trump has joined the Bloomberg Billionaires Index for the first time, a reported net worth of $6.5 billion. He's one of the richest 500 people in the world. All the media is talking about how broke he is

and how his businesses are in peril. And he has to have a fire sale on his properties or else he's going bankrupt. But yesterday, he's the richest he's ever been. More fake news. The NFL owners voted to ban the hip-drop tackle at their annual league meeting. This is when a defender grabs the player with both arms and falls to the ground, kind of backwards, landing on the runner's legs below the knees.

There were 230 of these tackles last year, about won a game. It's up 60% from the year before. And 15 players suffered time loss injuries, so about a player a week. Former three-time NFL defensive player of the year, J.J. Watt said, let's just fast forward to belts with flags on them. I'm Mike Slater for the podcast Politics.

On this Wednesday, misinformation is a growing topic because the Internet is full of falsehoods and there's little supervision on the sites. Last Sunday, Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes tried to pin the problem of propaganda on conservatives, but the truth is, all sides are guilty. The left points to Trump and the 2020 election deniers as primary culprits, and it's true that false flags were consistently weighed. The colossal judgment against Fox News proves that. However, the outright deceit about Russian collusion,

came exclusively from the left. This is not equivalency, this is fact. I believe very few media people and politicians are trustworthy in America because they believe what they want to believe. The truth be damned. It's now my truth. How absurd. The deceptive Tower of Babel we are witnessing is the reason I set up Bill O'Reilly.com. We seek the truth. We don't always find it, but an honest effort is made. We are not interested in advancing ideology or pandering to a certain audience. We don't let profit dictate news coverage. We are almost unique in the media today. Media deception, dramatically harming the USA. And that's one truth, not difficult to ascertain. 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. Now let's go to the mail. Bonnie Reynolds, Holton, Maine, way up there by Canada. Biden's schedule looks like he does nothing, but it only includes public events so we don't know all the private meetings he takes in, or am I wrong? If he has a meeting with his cabinet, that is on the schedule. Now, if somebody just wanders in to the Oval Office, but I understand he's not in the office very much. I had a concierge letter asking me today, well, how come there was so many leaks during Trump and there haven't been very many leaks on Biden's White House? Because people don't have access to him. Trump is there all day running around, all right? But Biden's

job. So you can assume Bonnie that he's got a light work schedule. Janet, I have a business in a small town in Northern California. Finding somebody who wants to work shows up for an interview is very rare. I keep wondering if they aren't working, how are they living with the high cost of everything. Governor Newsom has made it easy to get money, food stamps, medical, no one wants to work. There's something to that. California is a well- welfare state. There's something to that. People who can get by and a lot of them do off the book stuff. They don't want to be paying social security taxes or any tax. So there's something to it. William Farrell Jr. Milton, Delaware. Bill, you said it is unconstitutional,

forced products or ideology on people. Here in Delaware, by 235, all new cars must be EVs. actually 232. Eighty-two percent of the cars in Delaware have to be what they call zero emission. Now, I don't know whether that's constitutional or not. So I assume there'll be core challenges, too. We'll see. In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Five years ago today, special counsel Robert Mueller publicly criticized Attorney General William Barr's handling of his Russian collusion report, Mueller's report.

A few days earlier, Barr had released a summary of the findings clearing Donald Trump of any nefarious activity. Here is the story. In early 2016, reports emerged that the Trump team was coordinating with Russian agents to sway the election from Hillary Clinton. In May 2017, Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel to investigate. Two years later, Mueller submitted his report to the Department of Justice. Barr released what he described as the principal conclusions, wrote Barr, quote, the special counsel's investigation did not find the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election, unquote.

On March 27, 2019 Mueller refuted Barr summary, quote, the statement from the Attorney General did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office's work and conclusions. There is now public confusion about the critical aspects of the results of our investigation, unquote from Mueller. Well, five years later, the public remains perplexed. Recent polls show 48% still believe Trump worked with Putin to win the White House. That number rises to 90% for Democrats. People, of course, believe what they want to believe. But there is no evidence that the Trump people coordinated with the Russians. That is a fact.

And here's something else you might not know. The two men at the center of the probe have returned to private life. Mueller is back with his former law firm where he works on cases involving crisis management. Barr is now chairman of the board for a company called Center for Legal Action. That group aims to be an alternative to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. And despite their beef back in 2019, Barr and Mueller remain close friends. Or so, they say.
