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, March 20th, 20203. Here's what's happening today in America. Bank turmoil. Miami Beach shut down.

NHL going woke. And someone finally finished the hardest race in the world. That's all coming up. And then Bill is back with your message of the day. But first, you've probably heard of the troubles that Credit Swiss Bank. It's the second largest bank in Switzerland, founded in 1856. This isn't some up-and-coming bank like Silicon Valley Bank or signature bank was founded in 2001. Credit Swiss is supposedly one of the most stable banks in the world.

Well, another bank, UBS, agreed yesterday to buy them for $3 billion. Their version of the Federal Reserve said with the takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS, a solution has been found to secure national stability and protect the Swiss economy in this exceptional situation. UBS stands for, Union Bank of Switzerland. We have banks failing, and Biden says things are just going great. The Federal Reserve meets tomorrow and Wednesday, possibly raising rates even more. Miami Beach issued a state of emergency and a midnight curfew after two fatal shootings during their spring break festivities.

The city of Miami Beach did the exact same thing last year when they also had two shootings. The police chief said, I met my wits end trying to figure out how to be able to deal with this crowd and with the numbers that are here. For some reason, the NHL is still doing this LGBTQIA pride stuff before their games. They wear rainbow jerseys. Well, Saturday night, the San Jose Sharks gold tender said, no. He said, I'm a Christian, not just entitled, but how I choose to live my life every day. I have a personal faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross for my sins.

So in this specific instance, I am choosing not to endorse something that is counter to my personal convictions, which are based on the Bible, the highest authority in my life. All game long, the sharks tweeted out all the LGBTQ, who knows even what, like this, for instance. Most of us are familiar. This is the San Jose sharks. Most of us are familiar with the male, female, and transgender labels. But in other cultures, the existence of the third gender or even fourth and fifth genders is common. And then it goes into this whole thing lecturing us about ancient Mexican cultures.

You're like, what? The San Jose sharks. You're a hockey team. Not even a good one. There is a running race in Tennessee called the Barclay Marathons. It is five, 20-mile loops through mountains. It's three days and nights, no sleeping, no aid stations, no phones, no GPS to help and navigation getting lost as part of the deal.

They've been doing this race since 1986. Only 17 people have ever finished. And this year, three crazy people finished. Would you do this weekend? I'm Mike Slater. Going to next Bill O'Reilly. the message of the day. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune

You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. 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. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

You said Trump was defiant and not cooperating with the National Archives. After Myelago 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.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. year, Americans spend more than $1 billion at auctions. From lavish New York City ballrooms to barns in the Midwest, folks hand out hard-earned cash to own a piece of history. Here are some very high-priced items sold at auction recently. First, monster movie posters. Ten years ago, a collector purchased an original print for the 1931 film Dracula at Sotheby's for 525,000. It's worth far more today.

Next, Star Wars action figures. Min-conditioned toys now sell for $6,000 each. The original price back in 1979, $10. Music memorabilia. Last year, Paul McCartney's handwritten lyrics for the song, Hey Jude, sold in New York City for $900,000. Comic books also a bestseller. bestseller. Amazing Fantasy number 15, the most prize in any collection. Spider-Man's first

appearance will cost you $1.2 million. Near the top of any autograph auction is history. In 1864, a year before he was assassinated, Abraham Lincoln signed 48 copies of the Emancipation Proclamation. The documents obviously highly prized. One collector paid four million dollars back in 2009. It's probably worth about $7 million now. George Washington has the honor of having the most expensive signature. In 2012, Sotheby's auctioned off Washington's personal copy of the Constitution. The book sold for $10 million. The most expensive items sold at auction. Art. Leonardo Da Vinci's painting titled Salvatore Mundi, bought by a Saudi prince since 2017 for $500 million.

But don't expect to see it any time soon. It's only shown of foreign diplomats during visits to Saudi Arabia. And here's something else you might not know. The history of auctions dates all the way back to 500 BC. According to Greek historians, the first recorded auction sold just two items. slaves, human beings, and women for marriage. Back after this.
