Piers Morgan Interviews The Man Who Attempted To Assassinate President Ronald Reagan 

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

I do not think this guy is dealing with a full deck even today.

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

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...

His Family kicked him out! That;s why his dad felt Guilty!

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.

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.

Yeah… put him in a room with Jodie foster and see how stable this guy is

Mark Chapman shot Lennon (Dec 1980) only 3 months before Hinckley (March 1981) 5:08

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 (RU-vid 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?

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

Poor guy can’t get his music played at concerts must be tough

Jodie Foster must feel little uneasy if she happens to see this..

He still seems a good bit off...

key takeaway: Hinckley was NEVER found guilty of shooting Reagan why he's a free man.

You think he watches Jodie foster movies still???😂😂

This guy literally stalked Jodie Foster for atleast 4 years from 1977-1981 & no one was suspicious ???

He's now walking the streets of America. WTF?

He's also been on the antipsychotic risperdal since 1999 , to prevent his psychosis from coming back .

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!!!

Great Guest to Book, Piers is a G

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.

What's with all the blinking? Very unsettling. Should have never been released. The mind is very fragile..

I just experienced that chill.....

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 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 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.

2022 and wow.

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 .

He started blinking too much when he said “no , I don’t”… right …

Where can I find this guys songs…TELL HIM TO SING A TOON Piers😂😂😂

He blinks so much, he must be drugged

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.

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?

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.

Thank you for coming lol

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.

It makes me so sad to see great people suffer because of evil

I think all of us like to hear him sing

Redemption lies within.

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.

Why did he want to kill Reagan? That's the question. Mr. Brady got the worst of it.

I really hope they're keeping a close eye on this guy.

No he did not kill former press secretary James Brady. What you did there Mr Morgan was cruel.

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.

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

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!

Definitely should not get the publicity. But thats your job isn’t Piers?

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

I live next door to John here in Virginia. What he did was wrong, but he’s not that man today. He’s a great guy. He’s admitted he was wrong and Needs to be given a second chance.

would have been something if Jodi foster married him after this.

I was very upset about his release john hinkley in my viewpoint he should have received life in prison

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 .

Many worse criminals have been released for less 👍

Go Hinkley!!!!

He still talking about that lady

So it takes 35 years to treat you???

Good things should not have been able to happen to you ??

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.

He isn't a bit remorseful

Jody Fosters Army.

how many times did piers have to repeat that someone was killed

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)

do they medicate him, still?

Piers, forgiveness is quite acceptable but yes one does not forget.

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!

Should still be in prison not glorified

Don't forget Brady died because of his wounds he should be rearrested for murder i Don't get it

He won’t mention the CIA part. He was clearly an easy target, and manipulated by the usual suspects.

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

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.

Obviously on Antipsychotics.

piers was more reasonable with this murderer than he was with Andre Tate 😆

There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance though. This is mainstream science.

I forgive you

Why in the hell would this crazy guy go on the Net.

I think this man should be studied, so that many other shootings could be prevented.

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.

He should still be in prison

🤦‍♂️So Jodie foster is responsible for this mess 😅

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 forgive you John Hinckley 😊👍

I hope you try to better understand mental illness and how the drugs work to help and improve people's lives. It is clear this man has been rehabilitated. Your interview with him hammering him to repeatedly accept responsibility is rather gross

In Europe he would have been out after 7 years max

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?

This guy is posing for pictures? Ridiculous.

That’s between him and god

it’s a shame that he is being paid for these interviews… This should be illegal ….

This dude is lost in the sauce like a wet noodle.

I wonder if he's pissed about Foster being a lesbian.

He's delusional thinking he can hold a public concert with his notoriety. Delusions are what helped lead to the shooting.

John Hinckley Jr 2024 for the Democrat party

he does not sound to me he should still be walking the streets of America! He sounds deeply medicated!

Pierce, it's not a good interview from you. Forgiveness is everything if you are a Christian.

Sounds like morty

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

Piers Morgan is one of the most unlikable human beings around. Always so smug and self righteous, he's simply intolerable.

We live in a crazy world , he should never be allowed to walk the streets again.

jodie should have gone to prom with him
