Bill O'Reilly here with the O'Reilly Update and what's happening across our nation. Joe Biden's big challenge heading into 2020. Former Vice President Biden now wants the big job, but the radical left in America simply does not want him. To many, he's too old, too white, too capitalist, too moderate. So this is presenting a major problem for the Democratic Party, because all the polls say the same thing. Biden might be the only one capable of beating Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The polls also show Bernie Sanders and his younger socialist comrades will not be Donald Trump. A quick glance at the field defines the problem.

Senator Sanders is so far left, its inconceivable working class Americans, will support his vision of Washington running everything. The economy, health care, education, what we eat for breakfast. Millions of Americans are too busy worrying about. their kids, their jobs, their mortgages to listen to the socialist senator. Well, about the world ending in 12 years or the evils associated with air travel and hamburgers. Elizabeth Warren even more radical in Bernie. She's still hampered by the DNA report on the Native American thing. An economist say her education proposals of free college and student debt forgiveness

will cost a nation $1.25 trillion over the next decade. Camilla Harris is Cal California left. That means open borders, sanctuary cities, enormous taxes, Milton climate change policies, and of course, social justice. Ms. Harris is apparently not big on due process, having convicted Brett Kavanaugh without a single shred of evidence, tough resume for Kamala Harris. Well, Mayor, Congressman Beto O'Rourke does not think there's a problem on the southern border. Even though authorities say about 100,000 foreign nationals tried to enter the USA in March alone from dozens of different countries, including Egypt, Bangladesh, China, and more. Mr. Beto actually lives in the Bissee city of El Paso, but again, no problem in El Paso.

If Mr. Biden makes it through the brutal primary battle against people with far-left ideas who support socialism, if he can do that, he's got a good shot at the White House, but that is a big if. The former vice president framed his entry into the race as a battle for the soul of America. First, he must win the battle for the soul of his party. Coming up, the message of the day, redemption in America. Would history's most cherished leaders survive today's social media scrutiny? But first, if you are age 75 or older, and if you own $100,000 life insurance policy or larger, I want you to get a pen and paper to write this information down.

Many Americans are making the decision to convert their life insurance policy into cash, giving them extra money to pay off credit cards, medical bills, any number of things. Look, the economy is always dicey. Some people need cash. There's nothing wrong with that. You can get that cash if you are over 75 years old and if you have a $100,000 or larger life insurance policy. Please write this number down. 844, we buy 75. It's totally free to call. Get rid of those insurance premiums. Stop paying them.

Consider turning that policy into cash. The number again, 844, we buy 75. 844, we buy 75, W-E-B-U-Y. That's 8-44-We-B-U-Y. That's 8-4-4, we buy 75. Call now, brought to you by our sponsor, Life Guide Partners. Here is the O'Reilly message of the day, the spirit of redemption in America. As Americans, I like to believe, we're always striving to become better as a nation. But sadly, I can't help it feel that over the past several years, we've increasingly abandoned concepts like forgiveness and redemption. You see it every day in the nonstop news cycle, where one ill-considered tweet or lapse in judgment leads an otherwise good person. to be torn apart and even driven from public life. But while people should be held accountable for their mistakes, it's important to remember that we all need redemption. If you don't believe me,

I'd like to present to you the case of Robert Mattson. It began in 1845 when Mattson, a Kentucky farmer and slave owner purchased some land in Coles County, Illinois. While Illinois was a free state, Mattson found a loophole that allowed him to bring his slaves to work on his new property. But according to Illinois law, if a slave did not permanently reside in the state, they were still legally considered property. So every year, Mattson would bring his slaves up from Kentucky when it came time for the harvest and returned them when the work was finished. In 1847, however, five of his slaves escaped the Illinois farm

and took refuge with a group of local abolition. When the local authorities refused to return the absconded slaves to his custody, Mattson turned to the courts, retaining the services of a 38-year-old country lawyer. The attorney argued his client's case vigorously, claiming that the slaves, a woman and her four children, were still rightfully Mattson's property. Despite his lawyer's best efforts, though, the judge in the case ultimately ruled against the slave owner, and the family was emancipated. Mattson left Illinois never to return, but for his lawyer, in Illinois native, it was a professional disaster. Although he had taken up the case of a slave owner, he found the

institution itself to be morally repuggedent. Prior to the trial, he had been a vocal and well-known opponent of slavery, and he likely feared the case would be a stain on his reputation. But the grievous era was put behind him, and the attorney continued to practice. law, eventually making his way to Washington, D.C. History now remembers that lawyer as the great emancipator, America's 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, who despite once arguing a case on behalf of a slave owner, would redeem himself and indeed help redeem our nation. In the moderate era of social media, gotcha journalism, anonymous sources, and vicious

political partisanship is almost impossible to conceive that a person who defended the rights of Americans to own slaves would eventually win the nomination of a major political party and lead his nation towards total emancipation. The spirit of redemption in America survives, but is sadly taken a backseat in recent years. Turn on your tablet, television, or smartphone, and all you see is a 24-7 news cycle with just one purpose to destroy political opponents and tear people apart. From the Covington High School students to the latest Supreme Court, confirmation battle, the modern rush to judgment and character assassinations that occur in milliseconds do nothing but hurt our fellow Americans. So the next time you see someone making a

mistake on the net, on TV, or in person, take a deep breath, and remember to always extend the spirit of redemption and forgiveness to those who ask for it. It worked for Abraham Lincoln. Many financial experts believe we are in a hidden recession. And make no more than that mistake, they are worried. Some of these experts work for the largest banks in the country, names you'd surely recognize. It's important to think about ways to protect your family and your finances from what could be another financial crisis. Many Americans are turning to physical gold and silver to protect their retirement accounts and life savings. And a relatively new law allows you to own physical gold and silver as part of your IRA.

The O'Reilly Update continues with something you might not know. Tomorrow, millions of Americans will be tuning in to watch the most exciting two minutes in sports, the Kentucky Derby. Top contenders, Tacitus and Vicoma, will face off in the hopes of taking home the coveted garland of roses, not to mention a handsome thwarted three million dollar purse for the owners. Whether you are sipping mint juleps at Churchill Downs or having a

beer at your local sports bar on Saturday, one question you may find yourself asking is, how do these horses get those names? Well, for starters, many racehorses actually have two names. One they're given as a foal, that's a horse under the age of one, and another given at the start of their racing career. Secretariat is the most famous name in horse racing, but around the barn, he was originally called Big Red. Seattle Slew, another famous name, but as a young foal, his handlers called him Baby Huey. Now, once a thoroughbred is ready for prime time, its racing name has to be submitted to the international horse racing organization called the Jockey Club, where it goes through a lengthy approval process. Any name has to adhere to a number of strict guidelines.

First, it may not consist of more than 18 characters. That includes spaces and punctuation marks for those of you counting at home. The name cannot already be in use. It can't even sound similar to any other act of horses. So you can forget about calling your horse American Sparrow. The name cannot have any commercial significant, which is why you'll never see Kerry Coke or Donald Duck. out there on the track. Horses cannot share a name with any living person unless that person

gives their express consent. Nothing vulgar or obscene, of course, nothing that can be considered offensive to any religious or ethnic group, strictly PG-rated names only. In total, any name has to conform to 17 different rules before it gets the green light. So no matter who's first across the finish line on Saturday. If someone asks you how Gray Michigan, Code of Honor, or War of Will, got their names, you can confidently answer. It's complicated. And now this. It takes vision and intelligence to protect yourself and your family in this very complicated world. And that's why I'm happy to tell you about a company I recommend, wise foods.
