Ask Dr. Drew · Tylor Chase: Shaun Weiss (Mighty Ducks) Got Ned’s Declassified Star Into Rehab… But California Keeps Releasing Him Back On The Streets To Smoke Meth w/ Tyler Merritt & Frank Morano – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 573 · 9 Jan 2026 podcast

I don't believe that schizophrenia or violent mental illness

is a civil right to be protected.

I believe it's a disease to be treated.

And when we allow people that are violently mentally ill, look, everybody's mental health could be improved.

Certainly mine can.

I would venture to say even yours can, Dr. Drew, but

It's a very, very small group of people that are mentally ill to the point of being schizophrenic and violent.

And that's when we get situations like what happened with Jordan Neely on the subway.

And it's a tragedy for the people that have to encounter these folks.

It's a tragedy for these people that are being left behind, not getting treatment.

And it's a tragedy for a good Samaritan like Daniel Penny that tries to save others.

Yeah, this is exactly right.

In the Giuliani era, and I'll admit that Giuliani was not handcuffed by the courts the way recent mayors have been, they did not believe that you had a constitutional right to sleep on the street.

So if you were sleeping on the street as a homeless person because you were abusing substances, because you had no place to stay, because you were in need of mental health treatment,

the police would basically take you to a shelter.

And if you refused to go to a shelter, they would try to take you to a substance abuse treatment or mental health treatment.

Those facilities still exist, lesser of them because there was this movement to move away from what people thought was the Willowbrook model, but really it wasn't.

But there are fewer beds.

Because of Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio, but there's still a significant number of mental health resources and substance abuse resources that we're not able to force these folks to take advantage of.

I think it's remarkably insane.
