Pushing Back On 'Harm Reduction' Policies Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

"Harm reduction" is a theory that argues deaths from overdoses can be greatly reduced with the implementation of strategies that allow people with drug dependency access to drugs in a safe way. Michael Shellenberger, author of "San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities," says, "There is no safe use of these drugs."

On this episode of the Phil in the Blanks podcast, Dr. Phil's guest, Michael Shellenberger, discusses the ways in which he claims harm reduction policies emphasize personal liberties but ignore personal responsibility.

Sen. Scott Wiener Discusses 'Safe Sites' For Drug Addicts To Use

California State Senator Scott Wiener joins Dr. Phil on his Phil in the Blanks podcast to discuss "safe sites" for drug addicts to use. Senator Wiener, who wrote Senate Bill 57, which would have legalized safe consumption sites in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and Los Angeles County, shares why he says he considers this to be life-saving legislation – and why he thinks Governor Newsom vetoed it.

"We have tried arresting people, incarcerating people, and for some, that works," Senator Wiener says. "But for most people, it doesn't. That's what safe consumption sites are about – first and foremost, making sure people don't die."

Diving Into The Homeless Crisis In America Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

California has the highest number of homeless encampments in the United States and holds more than half of all unsheltered homeless people. In an effort to resolve homelessness, major cities across the U.S., including Los Angeles, Portland, Austin, Houston, and San Francisco, are passing bills that will effectively ban homeless encampments from certain areas. However, homeless advocates argue banning and sweeping homeless encampments is inhumane, doesn't solve the problem, and will ultimately create even bigger issues.

Dr. Phil speaks with Donald Whitehead, Executive Director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, on his Phil in the Blanks podcast to dig deeper into this crisis.

"If we give them a hand-up – not a handout – we can really change the direction of this country," says Whitehead, who has worked for years advocating for systemic change to end homelessness.
