But first, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo changing state law this week, allowing Democratic lawmakers' access to President Trump's state tax returns. The liberal governor will now allow the Commissioner of Taxes to release records requested by the heads of congressional committees. Cuomo calling a decision, quote, good for our democratic system. Then why wasn't it allowed before? Attorney General Barr saying the Trump administration has found a legal way to ask the

controversial citizenship question in the upcoming census, claiming the Supreme Court made the wrong decision in recent weeks. Speaker Pelosi, not hiding her opinion, telling reporters the question on the census is simply the president's attempt to make America white again. That's a quote from Ms. Pelosi. To the campaign trail, party officials in Iowa and Nevada will allow Democrats to vote by telephone during the 2020 caucuses. Supporters say the new rules will allow hourly employees or people with unconventional work schedules the chance to participate. Critics argue that change will make voter fraud nearly impossible to prevent. Anybody could call in using your name.

Despite the USA's growing economy, a record number of Americans say they have no plans to retire.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, a tale of two corporations, Nike and Starbucks. You may have heard that Nike abruptly dropped a Betsy Ross flag-inspired sneaker. Time to coincide with the 4th of July after their employee, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, claim the flag contained, quote, racist symbolism. So here's the deal. Nike plan to celebrate the 4th of July with a new sneaker, a special edition of the Air Max 1 Quick Strike, featuring that most patriotic of symbols,

the American flag. But rather than including the current flag with 50 stars, the sneaker's heel featured the 13-star model designed by the revolutionary hero Betsy Ross. really the first woman to come on the scene in a major way in America. Now, the reason that Nike backed away from the sneakers is that Mr. Kaepernick believes that America was a bad place during the Revolutionary War and after the founding fathers instituted the Constitution because of slavery. So this is a reoccurring theme now. America is a bad country. You may remember that Mr. Kaepernick blew his entire career in the National Football League

by becoming an activist on the field, refusing to stand for the national anthem and denigrating the American flag. Well, he is entitled to do that under our Constitution, and I have no problem with Colin Kaepernick not liking America. If he doesn't want to think this is a noble nation, dissent is an honored tradition in this country. However, Nike, by throwing in with Colin Kaepernick, then defines itself as a corporation that doesn't feel the USA as a noble nation. That is a bad, foolish strategy in the long run for Nike. Now, Starbucks is another corporation that has an image problem with some

traditional Americans. Starbucks has looked upon as politically correct. After the Philadelphia incident where some people of color were asked to leave a store where they were sitting for hours not buying anything. Apparently you can do that now. Anyway, in Arizona, a moron working for Starbucks asked six Tempee police department officers to leave the store because one of the customers there objected to their presence saying he or she didn't feel safe. We don't know who that customer was. The officers did leave, but the Tempee Police Department blasted Starbucks. The company's smart enough to apologize, all right? The coffee chain's executive vice president wrote, quote, we are very sorry this happened.

All police officers should be treated with respect. That's a smart move on the part of Starbucks. Police officers are Americans too. If they want to buy a cup of coffee and drink it anyway, They are entitled to do that without being asked to leave. It is outrageous. But Starbucks did the right thing, knowing that if it threw in with the loon who wanted the cops out, their image would be besmirched forever. A tale of two corporations, Nike on the wrong road, Starbucks doing the right thing. And that's the message. For more honest and fact-based commentary, please visit Bill O'Reilly.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update and something you might not know. Americans have earned a reputation for working hard over the years. On average, full-time employees dedicate 47 hours per week to work, making American adults the most productive people on the planet. Perhaps it's because of that fact that we also know the value of our leisure time. So what exactly are we doing in our off hours? Well, it goes without saying we're spending more time staring at screens. The average American adult will spend three hours, 43 minutes every day on their mobile devices this year.

TVs also get a workout. Americans over the age of 18 spending more than three, and a half hours a day in front of the boob tube, which is getting even more boobish by the day. But Americans haven't forgotten about the joys of non-visual hobbies. According to a study by the Department of the Interior, more than 100 million Americans participate in wildlife-related activities every year, with more than 95,000 miles of shoreline in the USA. It's no surprise that fishing remains one of America's most popular outdoor pastimes. In 2017, the last stat's available. More than 49 million Americans took to the nation's coasts, lakes, rivers, to enjoy recreational fishing.

We also like exercising our Second Amendment rights on the firing range. I didn't know this. It's estimated that nearly 50 million Americans go target shooting at least once a year. For some perspective, that's more people in place. soccer, tennis, or baseball. But if you're not into going outside, there's a good chance you might be enjoying a few frames at your local bowling alley. Bowling is the most popular participation game in the USA. 67 million of us hitting the lanes at least once a year. If you don't like bowling, how about the links? Estimated 24 million Americans, mostly men, when golfing last year.

there are 15,000 golf courses around the country, another 9 million of us enjoy time at the driving range or indoor golf simulators. I myself like miniature golf.
