Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, January 16th, 2023. Here's what's happening today in America. The documents keep on coming. Black Lives Matter is going to be back in the news. There's a new Martin Luther King Jr. statue, sort of. And there's a mega millions, 1.35 billion dollar lottery winner. We will tell you where the winner is from. Also, Bill would be back with the message of the day. But first, a fourth batch of classified documents have been found this time at Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware House. Last Thursday, the press secretary said, quote, the search for classified documents is complete. But the White House lawyers found more at his home on Saturday. So on Thursday, the search was not complete. And now we know that some of the documents found at his office at his University of Pennsylvania think tank were marked top secret. There are three security classifications, confidential, secret, top secret. Top secret is characterized as the unauthorized disclosure of this material could cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security. This is a big story right now in California. It will probably go nationwide. A 31-year-old black man was killed by Los Angeles police officers.

while being tased. Now, the reason this will make national news, probably, is because he was the cousin of Patrice Coulores. Who's Patrice Coulouse? She is the co-founder of Black Lives Matter. On this Martin Luther King Jr. day, the city of Boston unveiled a massive 22-foot-tall statue to Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is called the Embrace, and it's modeled after a hug between MLK and his wife after he won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. The thing is, It doesn't, it doesn't look like that. And worse, it, from certain angles, it, it, it looks of, it looks of something in, not, not appropriate. You'll know when you see it. Someone from Maine won, the $1.35 billion mega millions on Friday.

This is the sixth lottery jackpot since 2016 to surpass $1 billion. Would you take the $1.35 billion over 30 years? So 45 million a year, or 725 million lump sum? Most people take the lump sum, which means after taxes, they take home only 446 million. Is it even worth it then? 4.40 million. Don't feel bad that you didn't win, though. 70% of lottery winners go bankrupt in a few years anyway.

I am still aghast, word of the day, A-G-H-A-S-T, a gast, at that Mexico City, three amigos thing with Biden, Obrador, and Trudeau last week. So they all get out there, oh, we're cooperating, yes, we're all partners, ah, ah, yeah, yeah, and it's all a ball. Mexico is the problem here. Stats, 44% of the Mexican population lives below the poverty line. 44%. So of course they're going to come to the United States to try to earn some money because they can't earn it in Mexico.

Number two, Mexico is the most violent country. country on the face of the earth. Okay? On the face of the earth. In 2021, there were 23,000 homicides in the United States. In Mexico, 44,000 homicides, and they have two-thirds of our population. Okay? However, another 22,000 people went missing.

They're dead. So that brings it up to 60,000. 66,000 people killed by violence in Mexico because of the drug cartels that run the country. Overdoor has no control over these gangsters, and they smuggle narcotics, as everybody knows, into the USA. So again, Mexico is the problem. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

George Aluna, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. For Bobbard and Gets, who stood alone on principle, you should understand that, O'Reilly. If they truly believe that Kevin McCarthy should not be speaker, they shouldn't vote for him. You may be right when you say they are rock stars among a very small sliver Americans, but it is that sliver that will bring us back to sanity. Well, George, look, I'm all for voting your conscience, but there comes a point whether you destroy the party that you're part of or not. And that point was reached by Bobert and Gates.

And as far as that sliver to bring us back to sanity, only if you persuade the majority. And believe me, Gates and Bobert are not persuading the majority of Americans. Sharon Wright, Coke of Florida, since I don't trust information coming from the net, can you give us a history lesson on our immigration laws? So in the early part of America's development, we needed all the immigrants we could get. All right, because of the westward expansion and there was no, you know, you got here, you're here, no paperwork. Then in the 19th century, when my people came over from Ireland and the 20th century, structures started to be put into place. But only after, all right, the government expanded, income tax was voted in, the government

government got bigger. And then it had to know who was here. The modern day immigration changed with Ronald Reagan, who gave everybody amnesty in the tradeoff that we were going to secure the border. Well, everybody got amnesty in the 80s, all the foreign nationals, but no border security. It was Reagan's fault. Reagan should have followed through on that. And now we have chaos. So there's your history lesson. In a moment, something you might not know. the people behind the headlines.

You don't want to miss an episode. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know, 43 years ago today. The biggest musician on the planet was detained in Tokyo, Japan, for smuggling drugs. What began as an 11-city tour of Japan turned into a nine-day stint at a narcotics detain. detention center. Here is the story of Paul McCartney and his pot. On January 16th, 1980, the former Beatle and his band Wings landed at Tokyo's Norita Airport. McCartney was found by

customs with a half pound of marijuana in a clear pastic bag concealed in his luggage. The amount was large enough to warrant a smuggling charge against Paul with a potential prison sentence of seven years in Japan. At the time, that country had the most rigorous anti-drug laws in the world. McCartney was sent to a detention center. He remained there for nine days while the ambassadors of the USA and the United Kingdom lobbied for his release. On January 25th, Paul McCartney was quietly deported from Japan and flew back to London. He would not return to Tokyo for the next 10 years. But if you think Paul McCartney learned his lesson, you would be wrong. Incredibly, exactly four years to the day later, McCartney and his wife Linda were arrested in Barbados

for buying pot. The couple were seen purchasing marijuana at a local beach by on undercover police. Unlike the strict sentence in Japan, officials in Barbados slapped a musician with just a $100 fine. In total, McCartney has been arrested six times in four different countries for drug possession. And here's something else you might not know. In a 2008 interview, Sir Paul explained his foolish decision to bring a half pound of drugs into Japan. Said McCartney, quote, I knew I wouldn't be able to find anything to smoke in Tokyo. Besides, the stuff I had was too good to flush down the toilet. So I thought I take it with me, unquote. Back after this.
