Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.

On this Friday, one of the most important things for every human being to know is that persuasion is very

difficult. People believe what they want to believe. And many human beings, no matter what evidence you give them,

no matter how you frame whatever you're talking about, if they don't want to believe it,

they're not going to believe it. And the converse is true. They want to believe there is a

Martian living next door. That is what they will believe.

Now, the best example of this is what happened in Minneapolis with the ice shooting.

Within minutes, people formed an opinion of what actually went down.

The left-winger, of course, the woman involved, who was killed,

was totally innocent, had no deficit of conduct, and the ICE agents are fascist murderers.

On the other side, the people who believe that immigration law should be upheld were saying,

oh, the woman was breaking the law. It was

partially her fault. What happened to her? And the government is well within its rights to

control illegal immigration. So that was within minutes before any evidence, before any tape,

whatever. And I don't think anybody's mind was changed by anything

should not have been. You cannot make a determination on a shooting from television videotape.

You would need an enhanced, very, very methodical presentation, which is what would happen

in a court of law.

Back in a moment.

That is the morning O'Reilly update.

More analysis later on.
