So, um,

I just, you know, after the first assassination attempt on Trump, I think I posted on X that violence is not the way to go.

And that's still what I believe.

Well, I'm just Megan.

I'm just a totally different person from the person I was in 1981.

Totally different.

And that's why I wrote the book actually was

to show the public the way that I really am now.

There's been such a negative image of me for like 45 years, and people think that I'm the way that I was back then.

So I hope if they read the book, there's also a documentary out there that I participated in.

It's a pretty big delusion to think you can shoot the president to impress somebody.

They'll watch the documentary.

They'll see that I'm not the person that I was back then at all.

I'm a totally changed man.

Very much so.

Well, it wasn't just one day.

I mean, it just, to overcome, overcoming my mental illness that I had in 1981, I just had a really dark heart in 1981.

I was, you know, thinking of violent things.

And when I came out of my mental illness over the years, I just saw the violence, you know, as I said, it's not the way to go.

And it took some time to come to that belief.
