Piers Morgan Interviews The Man Who Attempted To Assassinate President Ronald Reagan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2022
- On March 30, 1981, John Hinckley Jr fired six bullets at former US President Ronald Reagan in an assassination attempt he blamed on his obsession with actress Jodi Foster which developed after he saw her in Taxi Driver. He did not manage to kill the President, but he did paralyse former press secretary James Brady who died from his injuries 30 years later.
Piers Morgan has an exclusive interview with Hinckley Jr to ask how he feels now about the assassination attempt, whether he would ever try and contact the Reagan family, his mental health and whether he feels responsible for Brady's death.

The fact hes out of jail while their are people in prison for drug dealing is an example of how fucked up our justice system is
How? He spent 35 years in a psychiatric hospital. He wasn't guilty he was insane I feel Piers Morgan needs to be charged trying to manipulate & get a man who's heavily medicated. To say things like he knows he was guilty and he meant to murder these people. It's a shame Piers is allowed to do this. Listen to the guy talking. He's clearly not all there in the head.
There is nothing wrong with asking for forgiveness no matter what you do in life.. However, don’t expect people to forget what you have done
Of course. He did not ask people to forget, only to forgive.
He may ask forgiveness, but there’s only one that may forgive him and that’s…….God: who is the………Judge, jury and executioner!! Like they say you reap of what you……..sow……..into an oblivion of………..NO RETRUN !!
@@CassidyPresley So did God give him mental illness?
@@kevinwilson3609No his parents did
John remembers everything that day. He even remembers what he bought for breakfast. But when he was asked about the shooting he said:
"No I blanked out".
I do not think this guy is dealing with a full deck even today.
I think he will lie till he's dead.
Heavy medication numbs people so yes he is different
He's heavily medicated & has been for almost 40 years now. That man is in space Piers Morgan shouldn't be allowed to ask him the type of questions he did on camera while the man was like this. He was found not guilty for reason of insanity. He was completely insane.. Horrible Piers Morgan trying to make him sound like he was normal.
Welcome back to US Piers. I found this to be a fascinating interview and am looking forward to remainder of your guests during your time in NY. 🇺🇸
They let him out yet julian Assange is in prison legal system is warped
Agreed!!! So CORRUPT!
Free both
YUP
If you can throw your nation and it's allies under the bus, you shouldn't be imprisoned. You should be given permanent residency at the bottom of the ocean
His brain was diseased just like any other part of the body can be, 35 years of treatment and he is fine. The legal system didnt fail because, he had nothing to do with the legal system, he was never charged with anything, they immediately knew he was a total nutcase. He should have been diagnosed years prior but US health system is a joke. Assange should not be in prison at all, all he did was publish information including government war crimes. While the traitor who worked in intelligence and was the one who stole the information, has been walking around free for many years and has even had his sex change operation paid for by the government
I really hope they're keeping a close eye on this guy.
Agreed 😮
While Hinkley seems contrite, self-aware, and sincere, I too have an issue with his 'music' career. My issue is that Hinkley's initial act was to generate attention and fame. As a disaffected youth, shooting someone was one sure-fire way to get the attention he couldn't achieve through talent, charimsa or hard-work. Now as a mature man, he is again seeking attention. This is obvious through the following actions: 1 - not changing his name | 2 - actively wanting a public career in music (RUclips and Live Concerts) | 3 - wanting people to know he is a changed man - why? My ragouts are, if he wants to use his notoriety for a good cause why not deliver lectures or create a movement for identifying mental illness, or lobby for gun control, or if he is cured, why not live in absolute quiet obscurity just working hard?
He's now walking the streets of America. WTF?
He still seems a good bit off...
He's also been on the antipsychotic risperdal since 1999 , to prevent his psychosis from coming back .
Dear Piers, does every question really need to be prefaced with a reference to shooting Reagan? I'm at the 12:30 mark, and I've heard this reminder more than 20 times. Your listeners do know their history...
I hate Piers and his interviewing. He is such a rub your nose in it creep. I realize this guy did something bad, but he was mentally ill (not fame hungry like Mark David Chapman). I wish Piers would shut up!
Piers sucks here. He doesn't know how to conduct this interview. He keeps repeating himself and he's just attacking the guy and putting him on trial again after 40 years. It's still awful what the guy did, but what is the point of this interview? To just repeatedly tell the guy what he did 40 years ago? What a bizarre interview.
This guy literally stalked Jodie Foster for atleast 4 years from 1977-1981 & no one was suspicious ???
Its sad that such a thing could happen. You can tell this is just a sad and unfortunate man who was just lost in the world.
He seems a little bit worse than lost to me
Like a narcissist
@@Jabba-le-feminist-hating-Hutt Identify one thing in this interview that suggests he is a narcissist.
His eyes keep blinking what's up with that
@@Jabba-le-feminist-hating-Hutt you don't know what narcissist means
@@kevinwilson3609 he seems like he’s salty/bitter/vindictive
Doesn’t seem to think that what he did was wrong
Idk like the vibe
Remember that narcissists are insecure people, not confident
Contrary to popular belief
Piers don't be intellectually dishonest.
Brady died 33 years after being shot!!!! He died in 2014 at the age of 73. Then to say/imply a year and a day rule saved Hinckley from prison is stupid. He died 33 years AFTER the shooting.
But the coroner’s findings are death by homicide so that says it all!!!
That's what I heard Piers say, that Brady died many years later due to his injuries.
He was paralzed for rest of his life. That's almost worse than dying.
John Hinkley Jr. was a great man!
That was Reagan's karma for putting drugs in the Black community and also changing the gun laws in Cali.
So fuck Reagan!!! 😂
Go Hinkley!!!
I've seen people charged with murder years after a injury
Jodie Foster must feel little uneasy if she happens to see this..
Mark Chapman shot Lennon (Dec 1980) only 3 months before Hinckley (March 1981) 5:08
If John hadn't died, would he still have done it?
@@user-hd9nc7zp1v I’m not sure of your question. As my post was from 4 months ago. But Rewatching it where I have the timestamp of 5:08,
I am “Correcting” Piers Morgan, where he said, Mark Chapman, shot Lennon “a year earlier” (when it was really only “3” months earlier)
You can tell he's drugged up by how much he's blinking his eyes but what happens when he decides he's sick of taking meds?
Drug-induced blepharospasm (excessive eye blinking) is most commonly associated with neuroleptics, as well as dopaminergic agents, antihistamines, calcium channel blockers, and noradrenaline and serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Additionally, benzodiazepines and thienodiazepines can often induce blepharospasm.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a couple of diagnosis. Been in hospital a few times and before I was prescribed those type of meds the only one I ever hurt was me! I didn't fire six shots at a President almost killing him and sentencing another man to a horrible fate of a lifetime in a wheelchair. Psychosis and depression are horrendous but absolutely no excuse.
@@Linda72. no need to be ashamed of being proactive with your health.
Absolutely, actually I'm the opposite. Proud of myself. I'm still here that's an achievement in itself. It's people like Hinkley fuel the stigma that we have to put up with. He made a choice and a detailed plan and as you say should never have been released 🤔🤢
@@Linda72. ;
He probably has tardive dyskinesia . He's been on Risperdal since 1999 , that's over 20 years . Excessing blinking is a symptom of tardive dyskinesia .
I cannot believe his legal council would even suggest this. Nobody would have knew how he looks today. Yes on his release day but this interview is not a good idea.
He's been walking around the town he lives in for more than a decade. He sells at an antique mall antiques that he buys at estate sales. People there know him and leave him alone.
After getting almost a half a dozen concerts canceled , he needs to make his ticket sales private . Then only reveal the venue , location , city , and state or country to ticket holders . The public knowing causes backlash . As soon as he announced the venue on twitter the concerts were canceled . He needs to prevent the media from finding out the venues .He should never skip security , though .
What's with all the blinking? Very unsettling. Should have never been released. The mind is very fragile..
I agree
He is obviously on some high powered anti-psychotic meds...IMO: he should still be in custody.
Yeah I was thinking that it was a manipulation on his part to leave that part out. We're not stupid. I'd say he makes Jodie Foster's skin crawl.
Excessive blinking is a symptom of tardive dyskinesia . He's been on Risperal since 1999 , that's over 20 years . He likely has tardive dyskinesia .
I dunno. I forgive him already.
Yeah… put him in a room with Jodie foster and see how stable this guy is
It wouldn’t be the same bc she doesn’t look like she did in taxi driver and is older now
@@LudiCrust. so he’s going to do nothing?
She has not aged well they are both elderly people by the way in that scenario which would never happen ever I don't think John or Foster would ever let that happen
@@madtrigger6835 What makes you think he would do something?
@@ericd7361 you didn’t watch this 😂
There’s a hundreds of thousands of people in prison who don’t think the way they did but they still have to answer for what they did ! If that was the case everyone who committed a crime would get out when they say they don’t think the same way anymore!
key takeaway: Hinckley was NEVER found guilty of shooting Reagan why he's a free man.
Poor Jodie Foster!!!!! Can’t imagine how she must feel! I think that anyone responsible for this man being totally free should have to live next door to this criminal for a minimum of 1 year!!!
He started blinking too much when he said “no , I don’t”… right …
What I find funny is piers slandering Andrew tate for doing an interview for Alex Jones and then he goes and does one for a man who commits attempted murder
good point
Excellent point, couldn’t have said it better myself
Piers isn't doing an interview for this guy, this guy is a doing an interview for piers.
Hope this helps.
Pierce is always very hit and miss.
If Hinckley is being inauthentic, I couldn't discern that from this interview. I do like how, at the end, he acknowledged his being responsible for James Brady's death. A deceptive individual might have danced around it endlessly, but he owned up to it. I found him to be honest and candid. If the goal is rehabilitation, he appears to have achieved that. He now seems to be a humble an unassuming man, who sincerely shows regret, asking for forgiveness while stating that he understands if the families of his victims won't forgive him. And I think that this is why Piers treated him gently instead of aggressively.
I think Piers was uncompromising but recognized that this man is still a vulnerable person due to his mental illness. It was a fair interview.
@@bradpaul8576 Well said. I couldn't agree more.
He blinks so much, he must be drugged
I was very upset about his release john hinkley in my viewpoint he should have received life in prison
I dunno.
Great Guest to Book, Piers is a G
I swear the comments shock me.. Yes, what did man did was horrific, but he was completely insane. He spent 35 years in a psychiatric hospital. He served a long sentence. He didn't kill anyone. The man he left paralysed died years later when he was in his 70s. Piers Morgan should be held accountable for trying to trick & take advantage on this man. His story & his mental health. Anyone who hears this can clearly tell this man is still not right in the head.
His Family kicked him out! That;s why his dad felt Guilty!
The quack of psychiatrist his son was seeing made him do it . Hinckley's sibling wanted to have him institutionalized , however the psychiatrist object and advice his parents to kick him out . If he had been institutionalized he might never have shot anyone .
@@jennahamilton7510 I Know.mine has been dead for forty year;s.I even out lived his son!
Hinkley's eye blinking is in morse code I do believe and he is saying Jodie i love you .
He says: “In those days it was pretty ‘easy’ to get close the president . . . (WTF?) 2:12
I thought after JFK in Nov 1963, it would of NO LONGER be easy to get that close to a president.
Jackson had no security, Lincoln had a major, Garfield had nothing as well.
So yeah it took the secret service a lot and I mean a lot of trial-and-error.
(See Whitehouse police force for details)
@@leopardknowledge.1430 I’m talking about (post November 1963) security for the president. Not how it was in the 1800s.
@@MikeCee7It looks like it was hit and miss literally
I just experienced that chill.....
yeah i don't think that guy should be released unfortunately. he committed 4 1st degree attempted murders and one 1st degree murder. i agree he's probably changed but it doesn't change what you did before.
Why did he want to kill Reagan? That's the question. Mr. Brady got the worst of it.
To get Jodie Foster's attention. He wanted to be in a relationship with her.
Foster was a developing little naive leftist back then. She, as most of her deranged Hollywood peers were constantly venting their disapproval of President Reagan. I assume this nut case thought if he killed President Reagan Jodie would want to be close to him and hopefully develop a romantic relationship.
Watch the movie Taxi Driver with Robert Deniro. He was delusional and thought he was Travis Bickle.
There goes Piers, trying to make someone feel more guilt. 40+ years in mental institution for attempted murder. Brady died in 2014 at the age of 73... from his injuries?
This asshole paralyzed him.That's worst than killing him!
He says "Brady DIED from his injuries" like 8 different times lmfao
@@drinkwater3453 33 years later? That's a bit of a stretch
You can't be serious - This man's life was ruined !! He never recovered - he lost use of his faculties, had to use a wheelchair -
What the hell are you talking about?!?
@@drinkwater3453the man's life was ruined - what about this is hard to understand?!?
would have been something if Jodi foster married him after this.
They did talk to each other
Where can I find this guys songs…TELL HIM TO SING A TOON Piers😂😂😂
Redemption lies within.
It makes me so sad to see great people suffer because of evil
Mental illness/conditions are not evil.
@@MadzGoose it is
@@MadzGoose when you're not in control of yourself ,doesn't that sound like being possessed or cursed ?
@@resisttheslavemind2127 no, that sounds like having a severe mental condition that needs compassion and treatment.
@@MadzGoose i agree with the compassion and treatment for sure ,but that doesn't hide the fact that mental ilness is evil ,not the person who has it.
Interesting to read peoples opinions on this. There is always a risk when releasing a killer like this back into society, however, with this particular man I think the risk is low.
Only his consensus holds this man’s………Destiny’s of who he really is, a sickness of…….DESTRUCTION and DOOM!!!
People think he was just released spontaneously, and not after decades of treatment, care and observation. People are so ignorant
Would you want him in your neighborhood?
Piers could have spent a little time to lecture him okay, yes confirm what he did was awful. But then instead of spending 18 minutes just repeating that over and over, could have actually conducted an actual interview. Could have asked him what some of the treatment involved in the hospital, how he passed some of his free time, changes in the world and society he's noticed now that he's released compared to the early 1980s, etc.
Don't forget Brady died because of his wounds he should be rearrested for murder i Don't get it
It is great , he's taking responsibility for his actions .For example , he does not blaming his father . If he books any venues , in the future needs to keep them secret from everyone expect his fans . If the general public does not know , there be no backlash . He needs to find a way to give concert details , only to his fans . His concerts get canceled , after he announces them on social media . His last two where canceled after he announce them on twitter . He needs to stop doing that . If he is allowed travel internationally and has fans overseas , he should consider doing concert out of the country . He should keep those a secret , as well . He should never let the general public know what state , country or city he's performing in . The venues should not announce he's coming , either . He should get security , regardless . He should not even announce the venue after the fact , for their safety . He also should post videos of his daily life , on his youtube channel . In addition to that , he should do vlog series for holidays such Thanksgiving , Christmas , New Years and the 4th of July . On top of that , he should post videos of his friends describing the person he is , today . He needs to also do more on camera interviews , some including his friends . Other people vouching for him would help change more people's minds . For some people just hearing from him is not enough . He's also needs to do more on camera interviews , some including his friends . He should request full copies of any future on camera interviews , he does . Nightline and The Takeout didn't show his full interviews . When interviews get edited , portions get cut out . He should get also get copies of those full interviews as well as permission to post them on his youtube channel. By the way , I'm not on any social media . Everyone who agrees with my ideas please pitch them , to him such as via twitter .
This is chilling.
That he says he’s justified being released is unbelievable. And while he may be a changed person he’s still responsible for his completely reprehensible actions. If he truly is changed then his life would be better served in service to others not as a musician!
I think the music is helpful to him and a sign he has changed.
I don't know how to feel about him being out. I do think there should be someone monitoring him.
And I do know Reagan forgave him that night as he lay in the hospital.
@@benjaminroberts4646 I didn’t say that he shouldn’t be forgiven, that’s really not up to me BUT as a citizen how do I know that he won’t stop taking his meds and go commit another crime?
I’m a huge music lover myself and I play guitar. I agree that music has huge healing properties but if he was really contrite then he should be focused on helping others.
@@perijetton9275 😂 you americans
@@perijetton9275 You could apply that logic to anyone who had committed the crime of killing someone who then proceeded to serve they're time and now are justified for release.
@@ahsoka6807 *He tried to kill the President of the United States! And technically he did murder Jim Brady! Some crimes are so egregious that they can’t be forgiven.*
As simple as a movie can lead to this
Thank you for coming lol
No victim of any circumstances should be asked for forgiveness, they work hard enough to live the rest of their lives as it is without being expected to put even more work in for the perpetrators to feel better about the situation they themselves caused, if you want forgiveness then you put the work in to forgive yourself and if you find you can't forgive yourself no matter how hard you try then that's on you, if you do find you can forgive yourself then you clearly never took in the full gravity of your actions.
As a condition of his release, he shouldn't have been allowed to do press.
This is exactly the attention he was seeking when he shot the president.
What happens when the press moves on and he's not getting this attention.
2022 and wow.
Definitely should not get the publicity. But thats your job isn’t Piers?
You think he watches Jodie foster movies still???😂😂
Why does he need to perform concerts? Just enjoying your playing music by yourself and enjoy your freedom and leave the public out of it
because he's a psychopathic narcissist
He shouldn't have got the death penalty, destroyed the lives of millions of people, He's not sorry, Lame excuse too, Jodie Foster, Cop-out, Piss on him, guy looks like he'd kill again, He destroyed 4 people's family FOREVER
Millions of people.
Okay for 41 years at one of the nation's top mental health centres.
And he has done nothing illegal for the past nearly a decade he is beloved by thousands of people.
Im all for second chances. I think any person could find them-self in such a dark place where they do something stupid which they would regret for the rest of their lives. In a way such people can be a victim of themselves too. It can take 5 min to make a bad final decision and the rest of your life to regret it. I wonder if Bush regret the 1.2M dead in Iraq, or if Putin regrets the thousands dead right now based on their stupid decisions?. I have more respect for someone who realize and acknowledge the mistake they made than those who arrogantly continues and defend their decisions.
This was a good interview and should be the way piers should conduct all his interviews let the interviewee speak and don’t talk over them.
It’s a difficult one but this guy was sick he is not evil and is sorry for what he did. Should he be given another chance maybe that’s up to the victims.
2014 he died 33 years later and he died from his wounds
How is Hinckley supporting himself? (Other than the answer of “by he’s incredible singer, songwriter, Rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame catalog of music)
(That I’m sure that very very very few people have even heard)
You'd be surprised, also his paintings are very good but then they can art is subjective so you can disagree.
Poor guy can’t get his music played at concerts must be tough
He won’t mention the CIA part. He was clearly an easy target, and manipulated by the usual suspects.
Good things should not have been able to happen to you ??
There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance though. This is mainstream science.
I think all of us like to hear him sing
Many worse criminals have been released for less 👍
he does not sound to me he should still be walking the streets of America! He sounds deeply medicated!
"Deeply medicated" describes a substantial percentage of everyday people in America. It's absolutely the best country for him. He seems totally stable, reflective and like anyone working in the local shops in semi-rural America.
If God has forgiven him, somehow I believe we have to also,as hard as it May be, can't go on full of hate,what or who would it serve
He can remember going for breakfast reading news paper but not remebering shooting someone? But he can with a paper and breakfast and jodie the film actress? Yet he cant remenber the shooting ? Load of crap. He just got angry and just decided to shoot someone.
He shot someone else before Unbelievable . He new what he done. He can remember every detail but not a shooting ? ...... rubbish he knew what he did....... unbelievable
I think this man should be studied, so that many other shootings could be prevented.
Nothing to study lmao, they’ve interviewed and studied killers and psychopaths for decades. This guy is just a bum.
Why in the hell would this crazy guy go on the Net.
Ask him. I dunno.
This man should be in prison right now for the rest of his life. When he dies he will stand before God and be judged correctly.
Hello Clarice
Go Hinkley!!!!
It's sad that mentally ill people are often sent to prison or executed rather than given the help they need. Hinkley Jr only got treated fairly because his daddy was rich, this doesn't mean he should be in jail, but we shouldn't jail other psychotic criminals.
I wonder what Iran, China, North Korea would have done with a 'Hinckley' ??? Certainty, he would not be treated the same as here. So why the forgiveness here?
Are you a communist?
@@sid7088 Sid, Compared to me , Rush Limbaugh was a Liberal. From my comment, How the hell did you come up with that stupid question??
So what you are saying is, you would prefer if the US was like Iran, China or North Korea? what sort of logic is that?
@@boeos No, But Hinkley should have been executed for what he did. JMO. Got It???
@@Rocky-xx2zg ok socialist
He's delusional thinking he can hold a public concert with his notoriety. Delusions are what helped lead to the shooting.
piers was more reasonable with this murderer than he was with Andre Tate 😆
how many times did piers have to repeat that someone was killed
He was desperate to find scandal here, but only got a healthy man answering the questions directly and calmly.
do they medicate him, still?
So it takes 35 years to treat you???
Mental illness is lifelong, being mental I get it . I've been on meds for 30yrs and no I've never shot/or killed anyone
Good interview. He seems to be changed. He didn’t shoot Piers or the cameraman. So that’s good news. I personally think he needs god.
Not once but 6 times!! Sorry but he shouldn’t have been let out of jail / hospital.
In Europe he would have been out after 7 years max
No he did not kill former press secretary James Brady. What you did there Mr Morgan was cruel.
🤦♂️So Jodie foster is responsible for this mess 😅
It’s been long enough. It was an attempt. Not murder. He was imprisoned for a long time. You can tell he’s been on a whole lot of drugs. Leave the guy alone.
Should still be in prison not glorified
Pier, have you ever seen the Nazis explaining the Nazis to the americans, and also, expaling how they're going to destroy and conquer the american way of life.
Have you? Poo poo daddy
Who wants to live next door to him???
This dude is lost in the sauce like a wet noodle.
We live in a crazy world , he should never be allowed to walk the streets again.
Society - and the mental hospital - failed him
I forgive you John Hinckley 😊👍
Piers Morgan is one of the most unlikable human beings around. Always so smug and self righteous, he's simply intolerable.
Jody Fosters Army.
jodie should have gone to prom with him
Obviously on Antipsychotics.
He isn't a bit remorseful
He's mentally ill
