Now, that is pretty remarkable, that amount of money. And you think that would shake up the federal government to say, where does it go? Is it doing any good? Well, the money is spent. And governors and mayors will say, well, we're spending money. We have these programs. We have social workers out there. And the question should be, are people getting better? Are you tracking them?

Do you track the individuals or you just tell us how much money you spend? And the answer is they tell you how much money they spent. And they'll give you some general numbers. But every time there's a mass murder or some other crime committed by someone, you can pretty much bet if it's a person with mental illness, they're not on treatment. Case in point.

A couple months ago, the event that took place in the New York subway, where the man who was in crisis ended up being restrained in a chokehold by a former Marine, Daniel Penny. So everybody got on Penny and said that he was terrible, cruel, and racist, went to trial for manslaughter. He was acquitted.

The sad thing is the victim in this case wasn't just a homeless street performer that the media tried to portray him as. He was a man with severe mental and schizophrenia, and he wasn't taking his treatment. There was another case around the same time, a man who went through New York with a knife and killed three people, stabbed them, and they called him homeless. Well, he was homeless.

But he was also a man with schizophrenia that wasn't in treatment. These are terribly sad stories that are taking place. When I was in Congress, I tried to wake people up to understand and say, many of these cases are treatable, preventable, but you've got to have someone be the grown-up in the room to say, these are folks who need to get them help.

Don't just say, well, if they don't want help, we're going to leave it at that. We wouldn't do that with a child who doesn't want to go to school. Let's not let them go to school. Well, some parents might, but... He's pretending he's sick. Let's let him stay home. But we have to understand these are lives worth saving, and they can be saved if we treat them. It's a massive burden on parents.

Their hearts break every day across the nation. Some groups like Mad Moms of Arizona, and there's one in Colorado, too, are fighting back. I love it.
