Megyn Kelly

I suddenly felt nothing.

It was like I was killing just to kill.

I wasn't going to do that.

I wasn't going to tee off and kill someone just because they were known.

This wasn't a grand enough gesture.

If I'd set out to kill the president, that's what I was going to do.

Is that an accurate recitation of how it went down that day, John?

So, I mean, it's potentially just sheer luck that Ted Kennedy lived beyond that day.

But I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States.

Was there any piece of you, John, who looked at President Reagan and said, he seems like such a nice guy, he's jolly, he's loved by his family.

Does the person's humanity ever sink in there?

Did you vote for him?

Okay.

For anybody.

So how did you get the idea to show up at this hotel and shoot the president of the United States?

You saw the movie Taxi Driver, but that was a couple years earlier.

Wow.

It's amazing to this day that they make the president's schedule so public.

That's how the attempted assassin at the Hilton this past time knew where President Trump was, what time he was going to be there.

You know, we're still we're still doing that.
