john hinckley was charged with 13 crimes.er acquitted by reason of insanity. >> i was the most scrutinized mental patient in america. even my judge said that. >> reporter: and now at 67, he is free. after 41 years under medical supervision. he spent 34 of those years at saint elizabeth's psychiatric hospital in washington, d.c., eventually becoming an outpatient and living with his mother. his medications and movements remained supervised. but all that came to an end with a court ruling this past june. his freedom a test of redemption. at the intersection of gun violence and mental illness. >> i worked hard. i walked the line for 41 years and did everything i needed to do to get my freedom. >> can you understand why some would see you as a danger to society? >> not now, no. >> why? >> because i'm not. if they want to think i'm the person that i was 41 years ago, yes, i could see that. but that's not the person i am now. >> reporter: just before the assassination attempt, hinckley told us he felt cut off from society. what was

when i saw the rundown for this today, i googled john hinckley.was having a stroke because i thought -- i was certain i knew this was. i was like it couldn't be that same guy if this is what's happening. but it was. so maybe that could happen on a larger scale where people will be like oh, it couldn't possibly be that john hinckley and i just vote for him. >> greg: i think i might be the only person who suggests this as an idea but it was based on that tweet, that just completely -- it was so brazenly virtue signaling, you know? >> he has no shot in the democratic primary though because he's apparently a straight white dude with a guitar, the whitest name ever. >> but if he comes out as nonbinary. >> if you runs with the juice. oh wait, that's race mixing, never mind. >> greg: nicely done! all right, we got to move on. coming up, chris cuomo lands on his feet, giving the show one hell of a treat.

this week, john hinckley tweeted his support for abortion, which is not surprising considering he supports killing people during the first term. that is gold. a new study claims that dogs with white sounding names get adopted from shelters faster than dogs with black sounding names. but my dog adolph already knew that were the best vilely . subway restaurants are offering free sandwiches for life to the person who gets a foot long tattoo, which is a lot better than when the very first three sandwiches to see anyone long is a pretty good wow. i got to say i the batch. don't go away. we'll be right back . hey, everyone. i'm mike huckabee, former governor of arkansas, part time musician but longtime customer of relaxium sleep. and i'm here with my good friend and country music legend larry gatlin. now. larry, a few months ago you asked me, does that relaxium really work? i remember that night because i was tired of not sleeping took if you were to try to guess what relaxium sleep works, larry, so many americans are struggling to get the sleep sleep. for me, four years has been kind of a conce

reagan alumni, although it wasn't the white house at the time and that was in the context of john hinckley's shooting of attempted assassination of president reagan the one book i would recommend is rawhide down which is a pretty clear example of what i would call an all-star group of white house staffers a number of whom are friends of mine who were who told a lot of us about how to run the white house, but they should have implemented the the 25th amendment and they did and and probably the most clear cut case in my lifetime and i i came to washington and 1973 to stay 18 months. i've been here ever since so it's that that is one of those cases conversely in the white house the media and the press corps are intentionally interested in every aspect of the president's health. and if you're in the white house staff, you're constantly, you know, the president didn't look good today. the the president is regular checkup. what can you tell me and i've i've been sensed personally by the combination of two of those and to occasions or those two phenomenon in 1987 before howard baker and i went into

when john hinckley shot ronald reagan years ago, we were able to do an urgent trace on that gun and within hours traced right back to him. so they'll be doing that. that's already ongoing. i guarantee that is ongoing already. they'll have a handle on where that rifle -- the last retail purchaser of that rifle was. if they don't have it, they will have it this evening. that could be a very, very important lead. fingerprints as well on the gun, magazines, even shell casings. hallie, i saw them taking the red car, the convertible. it looked like that might have been a convertible in the parade. and it probably was shot. it probably has bullets in it, projectiles in it. maybe someone was wounded or killed in the car. so the car is evidence. and most likely that's why they're taking it on the wrecker, because when you are shooting from a roof top and you have people in convertibles, it's just, you know, it harkens back to oswald shooting president kennedy from the sixth floor onto the slow-moving, you know, motorcade that was only moving a few miles an hour. a parade is the same way. it's a slo
