The Megyn Kelly Show · Would-Be Reagan Assassin John Hinckley Jr. on Trump Assassination Attempts, Jodie Foster Obsession, and His Life Now | Ep. 1343 · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

I mean, I did because when I first went to St.

Elizabeth's, I was on TV almost every day.

And the other patients would see me on TV and they couldn't believe I was standing there right there in front of them.

They were just kind of in awe of me.

And yeah, I was treated very much like a celebrity by the patients.

Well, it's hard not to say their name on the news because you're reporting the story and the public wants to know.

I think the public wants to know the shooter's name.

I mean, for instance, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, you immediately knew that assassin's name.

They weren't trying to hide it or anything.

So I think it'd be very difficult to...

Just not say the shooter's name.

I don't think you need to do that, but I'm just saying in a news story, if you're going to report the news accurately, it's kind of hard not to say the name.

I don't think I would have done it.

I mean, the whole point of it was to get Jodi's attention and, you know, so she would know who I am.

So, yeah, I mean, if my name was going to be kept out of everything, I don't think I would have done it.

Well, it was brief.

They were mundane letters.

We just talked about what we did during the day.

And it's hard to believe that I'm listening to, reading about what Ted Bundy does during his day in his cell.

But that's, I mean, the letters were just very mundane letters.
