Megyn Kelly

Were you maintaining normal relationships in your life?

Would they have known John is mentally ill?

No, you weren't on any medications back then.

Right, because now there's a duty for a psychiatrist to warn if he thinks a patient might actually hurt a third party.

So clearly that wasn't the case from the sound of it.

My understanding is you didn't settle on Ronald Reagan right away.

You thought about hurting some others prior to him.

Can you walk us through that?

How'd that go?

Now, I read that in October of 1980, you were arrested at the Nashville International Airport after three pistols were discovered in your suitcase on the same day that President Carter visited the city.

My note to myself reads, how was he free?

Like, how were you free?

I mean, I would think that's the kind of thing that could get you locked up for a long time, given that the president's coming there the same day.

Wow.

That was October 1980.

The assassination attempt with President Reagan was March 1981.

So, I mean, it was just months later.

And, you know, frankly, you should have been on their radar.

But, yeah, it was a different time.

And it's a different time today, thanks in part to you, I mean, and your behaviors.
