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, July 10th, 2020. Here's what's happening today in America. The cocaine hearing. Janet in China, buoys in the Rio Grande,

and will Ben and Jerry be men of their word? That's all coming up. Then Bill will be here with your message of the day. But first, the House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer from Kentucky sent a letter to the Secret Service Director requesting a briefing on the details surrounding the discovery of cocaine in the White House. Comer said the presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House's history. According to the Secret Service, so far, the plastic baggie was found in a cubby at an entrance for staffers and official visitors, which leads to a lower level of the West Wing that's near the Situation Room.

Staffers can bring personal guests through the entrance after the guests undergo a background check ahead of time and pass through a security checkpoint manned by the Secret Service. The Secret Service and the FBI are reviewing surveillance tapes and visitor logs. You think it wouldn't be that difficult. Our Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, who used to be the head of the Federal Reserve, went to China, met for 10 hours with Chinese officials, met with the top four Chinese officials under President Xi. She later said that U.S. and China were on a steadier footing, despite, quote, significant disagreements.

Quote, we believe that the world is big enough for both of our countries to thrive. I don't think China thinks that. Now, if you don't think that this meeting will make any meaningful difference, don't worry, John Kerry, the special presidential envoy for climate change, will visit China to restart global warming negotiations next week. Texas has begun installing water barriers in the Rio Grande River to stop illegal immigrants from swimming across. They're these big four-foot-wide orange buoys, and if you try to grab one, when you're in the water, they spin and you can't grab on.

This is part of Texas's Operation Lone Star, as in they have to do it alone with no help from the federal government. And in woke company news, Ben and Jerry's on the 4th of July, they wrote on Twitter this 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the U.S. exists on stolen indigenous land and commit to returning it well the chief of the nalhegan band of the kusuk abanaki nation a confederacy of the algonquin tribes that formed in vermont in the 1600s said okay i'd love the chat no word yet from ben and jerry on if they'll put their money where their mouth is i'm mike slater bill o'reilly will be here with your message of the day next politics and the people behind the headlines.

You don't want to miss an episode. Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Monday, Joe Biden recently did an interview with MSNBC, and I put it this way, that's like doing an interview with your mind. because MSNBC loves the Biden administration and is in business simply to promote

progressive causes, right? I think that's true. The interviewer was Nicole Wallace, former Republican, worked for Bush the Younger, and now Ms. Wallace is a dedicated progressive because she is paid very well by NBC News. And let's give her the assumption that her worldview has changed and people are entitled to do that. Anyway, in the interview with President Biden, Ms. Wallace did not ask one question about Hunter Biden. Nothing. It was what they say is a cup cake interview. It was nothing. Now, if you know the history of the so-called legacy television media, ABC, CBS, NBC, that never could have possibly happened, even 20 years ago. NBC News would have never done that. We're talking John Chancellor, Huntley Brinkley,

all those guys. But now NBC News is in business to promote progressive causes. It's shocking to me. So, Joe Biden went there and had a great time. 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.

a 33-year-old singer from rural Pennsylvania. Here is the story of Taylor Swift. She grew up on her family's Christmas tree farm. She began taking guitar and vocal lessons at the age of nine. As a young teenager, Ms. Swift modeled for clothing outlets like Abercrombie and Fitch. Despite her northern roots, Taylor's biggest influence was Southern music. She began appearing at country festivals, cafes, and county fares. To help Taylor Swift break into the music business, the family moved from Pennsylvania to Nashville to Tennessee. There, she signed a record deal in 2005 and released her debut album 10 months later. The first single spent 300 weeks on the charts. She was just 17 years old.

Ms. Swift then released her second record in 2008 and became one of the most successful touring acts of the year. Since then, the singer has racked up 10 hit albums, appeared in eight movies, 12 TV shows, and won 11 Grammys, including Record of the Year. Ms. Swift is now so successful, she holds 58 Guinness World Records, including most streams online, most simultaneous albums on the billboard chart and most search name on the internet. Today, Taylor's personal empire is worth at least $600 million. A recent tour was the highest grossing series of concerts in American history. Taylor Swift's real estate portfolio includes properties in Rhode Island, California,

Tennessee and New York City. Her Manhattan townhouse is valued at 45 million bucks. She currently has endorsement deals from Coca-Cola, AT&T, Target Sony Music. And here's something else you might not know. Ms. Swift's parents knew she would be a star before she was born. She is named after guitarist and singer James Taylor. And you can see both tellers on tour this summer. Back after this.
