LOS ANGELES — Since he lost his TV reporting job last year, Jarrett Hill has been looking for his next opportunity. It presented itself in an unexpected way.


Hill was sitting at a corner table Monday night in a Culver City Starbucks, drinking a venti iced coffee and watching the Republican National Convention on an MSNBC live stream. As Melania Trump spoke, she uttered a phrase that the 31-year-old California native had heard once before — from first lady Michelle Obama.

“The only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams …, ” Melania Trump said during her address to the Republican National Convention.

Instinctively, Hill finished the phrase aloud to his laptop screen: “ … and your willingness to work for them.”

“Kind of like a song that you haven’t heard in a long time and you remember the lyrics as you hear them. Or a movie that you know the line to and you kind of respond to it,” he said.

1. Sad that the real journalist here is laid off sitting in a Starbucks.

Glad he was still doing his job, even though no one was paying him. This should improve his chances of getting a paying gig soon.

I wish Jarrett Hill all the best in his career going forward.

5. His fast pace getting it out there and it's having gone viral before media spin or soft peddle

He saw it and sent it. Being fast ,first and accurate is in fact the name of the game.

6. It wasn't a Clinton-generated plot...

to attack any woman who challenges her?

Like the Trump surrogates say?

But that's their story - and you know they are sticking to it. Regardless of the facts.

8. I hope he gets his dream job from this. He deserves it. Who remembers a speech from 8 years ago?

He's a beast.
