  John Hinckley Jr.: The Reagan Shooting, Mental Illness, Remorse and Life Today (Ep. 35)

  Aug 12, 202652 min

  In this exciting new episode of the Making REAGAN series, Mark Joseph sits down with John Hinckley Jr. for an extensive conversation about his 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, the mental illness and delusions Hinckley faced, and his life in the decades since. Hinckley reveals that Reagan wanted to meet with him while he was confined at St. Elizabeths Hospital, but says hospital officials blocked the meeting. He also discusses his fascination with Jodie Foster, the influence of Taxi Driver and John Lennon’s murder, his years at St. Elizabeths, and the remorse he now feels for what he did that fateful day. Now free from court supervision, Hinckley talks candidly about his Christian faith, his relationship with his family, his music and artwork, and his desire to be remembered as someone who changed rather than solely for what happened in 1981. He also reflects on Reagan’s presidency, what he would have said to Reagan had they ever met, why he would’ve voted for Reagan in ‘84, and why he believes his life today bears little resemblance to the troubled young man he was more than four decades ago.
