Bill O'Reilly here. Thursday, June 18, 2020. You are listening to The O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening across our nation. A former Atlanta police officer faces the death penalty for the killing of Richard Brooks. Meanwhile, some Atlanta cops call in sick revolting. New cases of the virus hit record highs in six states. The NBA unveils his plan to bring back pro basketball? Is it time for the Dixie Chicks to change their name? Also, I had American police may backlash against the anti-cop movement. But first, authorities in Georgia, charging Garrett Rolf with 11 counts in the killing of Richard Brooks, including felony murder. If convicted, Mr. Rolfe could get the death penalty. Meantime, a number of Atlanta police officers called in last night. I will deal with this in my upcoming commentary. The Department of Justice targeting social media companies like Facebook and Twitter issuing new proposals that would end the legal protections for content published on those sites. The platforms could face big

penalties for posts that promote cyber-stalking, terrorism, defamation, or child exploitation. Six states now reporting the highest level of COVID infection since the contagion began. began, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Nevada, confirming the biggest single-day spikes on record. 19 other states seeing cases rise since reopening in May.

isolated. The Dixie Chicks could be the next act to change their name. Just days after another trio, Lady Antebellum, became Lady A, users on social media are targeting the chicks. According to a writer for variety, the word Dixie conjures up a time and place of bondage for black people. Farewell, Dixie Cups. In a moment, will American police revolt? Right back with it. Edward and his wife, Margaret, were looking forward to retirement. Edward started having serious health issues a few years before he turned 65 and had to take an unplanned early retirement.

their policy for nothing, Edward and Margaret turned to Coventry Direct and were able to sell the policy for $130,000.

movement going on. Black Lives Matter, the organization, driving that on the streets. Many in the media driving it on television. As we just report it, A number of Atlanta police officers called in sick last night to protest this situation, specifically the indictment of Garrett Rolf, an Atlanta police officer, for murder. In a very disturbing exposition last night, CNN began trying the fatal shooting of Richard Brooks on television, if you can believe it. This was gross. One man is dead. Another man may be put to death because of this situation. This needs to be tried in a court of law, not on a stupid CNN television program. How irresponsible is this? Now, I know they did it with O.J. Simpson. I understand that. But right now, it's white hot in America.

white hot and you're bringing in people to say whether this Atlanta police officer, Garrett Rolfe, is guilty of murder? You're doing that on television? What the hell is going on in this country? There are more than 800,000 American law enforcement officers. I will tell you that 99% of them condemn police violence toward anyone, blacks, whites, Asians, Hispanics, Native America, toward anyone. Most cops are good, and they don't want to see George Floyd killed on the street by a police officer. But this insane defund the police, Black Lives Matter calling them pigs, threatening police officers,

this has got to stop. And many officers themselves have had enough. So I'm going to predict here in New York City where I am with the department of 40,000, they're going to lose between 5 and 10,000 officers in the next couple of years. People are going to put in their papers for retirement. They're going to walk away. They're going to get other jobs and other departments because in New York City, the mayor hates the police and the governor does not back them up.

And the district attorney, Cy Vance, won't prosecute criminal. even when the evidence is right on his desk. He's refusing to prosecute. You think officers are going to put their lives on the line for a system like this? The NYPD has driven down murder from about 3,000 a year to 300 a year. A colossal success. And yet now they're bad. You're going to see across America a rise in murder like we haven't seen since the crack epidemic. You're going to see that happen fast. Cities like Minneapolis, Seattle, Los Angeles, where the cops are spit upon, not backed up by the mayor and the local government, those cities are going to get out of control fast. You wait and see. This anti-police movement, again, led by the organization Black Lives Matter and TV media. This is a disgrace. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve that message by writing it.

The former Beatle has one of music's longest and most successful careers writing more than 500 songs. I bet you've heard a few of them. Here's a look at the life of Sir Paul McCartney. Music is D&A. McCartney's father was an accomplished jazz pianist. He bought Paul a trumpet for his 14th birthday, but it was quickly exchanged for an electric bass guitar. A year later, he and John Lennon formed the group Quarrymen. Soon they ditched the pompadores from mop tops. Beetlemania made U.S. landfall in February 1964. The boys played a few

tunes on the Ed Sullivan show, sparking a national sensation. The Beatles broke up just six years later, after 20 number one hits. But Paul McCartney wasn't unemployed for long. He founded wings in the 1970s with his first wife, Linda. The band called he quits in 1981, but not before recording a few great songs, Jet Live and Let Die, band on the Run. The last one grabbed a Grammy. An impressive career, but Paul McCartney still wasn't ready to hang up his base since the departure of wings. He's been knighted, played the Super Bowl halftime show, performed at the Olympics, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, got remarried twice, and he's collaborated with everyone from Elvis Costello to Kanye West. And if you think

McCartney belongs just to Britain, you're wrong. He is an honorary, NYPD detective, and his current wife is a former board member at the MTA in New York City. And here's something else you might not know. Sir Paul's production company owns the rights to more than 3,000 songs, including Buddy Holly's entire catalog, and music from Broadway blockbusters like Guys and Dolls and Greece, not to mention the timeless Beatles tunes. McCarty is rock and roll's wealthiest musician, estimate $1.2 billion. Blimey. Back after this.
