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 30th, 2020. Here's what's happening today in America. Donald Trump holds campaign stops. Who will blink first, Biden or McCarthy? Super Mario Land, not welcome to everyone. And the Super Bowl is set.

And then Bill will be here with the message of the day. But first, Donald Trump finally hitting the campaign trail. The first Republican to announce, he's running for president in 2024, he had two stops, New Hampshire and South Carolina. People say he's lost his step, but he told New Hampshire Republicans he's more angry and committed than ever. And he took his first swipe at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, saying he's trying to rewrite history when it comes to their COVID response.

Trump says Florida was closed for a long period of time. Trump also said, quote, Ron would have not been. governor if it weren't for me so when i hear he might run i consider that very disloyal speaker of the house kevin mccarthy is going to meet with president biden on wednesday to discuss the debt ceiling this debt ceiling is going to be a big problem because the democrats always get their way the republicans always cave the democrats say oh it'll be catastrophic if we don't raise the debt ceiling and republicans are going to slash your social security and so few people understand that the real problem is spending the people who want to take on more debt for some reason

and have the moral high ground. Biden said he will not negotiate this. McCarthy has promised he won't raise it, so who do you think will win? McCarthy said, does the president really believe that there's no waste in government? No waste in that recent $1.7 trillion we passed? Universal Studios in Hollywood

opening up their new Super Nintendo World, including a Mario Land with their signature ride Mario Kart, Bowser's Challenge. Now, we're all used to you have to be this tall, to ride. But this will be the first major ride that says you have to be this skinny to ride. 40 inches. That's your limit. 40 inches in the waist, which is quite limiting because the average waistline for American men is 40 and a half inches for women 38.7. But don't worry, before you stand in line, they have a test seat that you can try out in front of everyone to see if you

fit. The Super Bowl is set Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs. Last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl was 2018 against the Patriots. Last time the Chiefs won, 2020, against the 49ers. The Super Bowl is next Sunday, February 12th, kickoff 630 Eastern from Glendale, Arizona, broadcast on Fox. Chris Stapleton will perform the national anthem, and Rihanna will perform the halftime show, and her name is actually pronounced Rihanna. But she didn't correct us forever, so everyone just goes with Rihanna. Bill, with your message of the day, next.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Monday, life is not fair, and then you die. That is the cliche. But it's a little bit more nuanced than that if you live in the United States of America. Number one, our chief benefit here is a constitution that allows many of us, I think most, of us to pursue happiness. We have a shot at putting together a life that is satisfying and rewarding. If we follow the rules, you got to work hard, you've got to be honest, you've got to get educated, those are the rules or learn a trade. If you can fix something, you're going to

make a good living. Anyway, so we do have opportunity and many of us enjoy ourselves. We have hobbies and we go to games and shows and all of that. But the downside is very few Americans prepare for the worst. And the worst is going to happen to you. It's just inevitable because life isn't fair and then you die. What you have to do is anticipate illness and therefore put together a good medical team, a physician you can get on the phone who cares about you, medical insurance that you can rely on, all right, a team of people who can come over to your house should you need them. This is just one thing. You've got to anticipate that bad things are going to happen and think about how to protect yourself against those bad things.

You know that. Cascade Charter Township, Michigan. You said Trump was defiant in not cooperating with the National Archives. After Moloago was rated, the Trump organization said it had been cooperating and negotiating. Was that spin? Look, I don't know the extent of what the Trump organization was doing with the National Archive people. I don't know. Again, this will all be clarified, I hope, by the committees.

David, thank you for reading Ronald Reagan's letter about the press. Good reminder that whether it was Sam Donaldson or Dan Rather or whoever, the difference between Reagan and Donald Trump was that Reagan knew how to deftly handle antagonism. I would agree with that. I think that Trump would do well to watch how Reagan handled his critics. Victoria Wagner and Nepperville, Illinois, can you give in its insight on the website, The Guardian? Far Left. Guardian is far left. I don't bother with it. Not worth anybody's time. Renton Rolf, Novato, California. Thanks for your smart money tip. I got $1,500. from the Treasury of North Carolina.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 80 years ago this week, the bloodiest battle in human history came to an end in southwest Russia.

For six months, two million soldiers engaged in nonstop urban combat. The siege shifted the balance of World War II against the Nazis. Here is the story of Stalingrad. Beginning in 1939, Nazi Germany began its brutal conquest of Europe. Three years later, Hitler controlled territory stretching from France to Ukraine. After failing to capture Moscow the previous winter, Hitler mounted an invasion of southern Russia during the warm summer months. In August 1942, the German army marched into Stalingrad.

Believing the presence of civilians would help motivate his troops, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin refused to evacuate the city's 400,000 residents. For weeks, both armies waged brutal warfare in the outer suburbs with thousands of non-combatants dying. After three months of fighting, Stalingrad was completely destroyed. Despite heavy casualties, Stalin refused to surrender. He issued official order number 227.

Any Soviet soldier or civilian attempting to flee Stalingrad would be shot on site. While the German Air Force bombed indiscriminately, both sides deployed roofed, top snipers to kill the enemy. By November, the Soviet army had encircled 300,000 Nazi troops. With a Russian blockade limiting supplies, Germans trapped in the city began to starve. Thousands also froze to death in the frigid cold. By late January, 1943, German General Friedrich von Paulus agreed to surrender. The result was catastrophic for

Germany. At least two million soldiers were killed. It is considered the deadliest battle in the history of warfare. And here's something else you might not know. The Nazi defeat at Stalingrad was the first time Adolf Hitler publicly acknowledged defeat. After announcing the outcome on the radio, the dictator ordered three days a morning. And that was the beginning of the end for Hitler. Now this. the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between.
