It's time for a second opinion. From the front lines of the culture war to the front lines of medicine, iconic broadcaster Dr. Drew Pinsky (of \"Loveline\" with Adam Carolla) brings his unfiltered perspective to today’s most urgent political, cultural, and medical issues. The show features a diverse roster of guests including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trisha Paytas, Charlie Sheen, Megyn Kelly, Russell Brand, Dr. Kelly Victory, Salty Cracker, and many more. To millions, Dr. Drew is a beacon of integrity and common sense. You know his voice from the radio phenomenon Loveline, hit reality franchises like Teen Mom (MTV) and Celebrity Rehab (VH1), and massive primetime television events like FOX's The Masked Singer and Special Forces. But behind the celebrity, Dr. Drew has spent the last 40 years actively treating patients. Now, he is bringing that same rigorous, truth-first approach to the Ask Dr. Drew podcast. In every episode, Dr. Drew relies on primary sources and hard data – along with his extensive experience – as he sits down with world-renowned experts, political figures, comedians, and institutional whistleblowers.

Former congressional candidate Brianna Wu is a transgender woman — but not part of the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ cult. For years, she has begged her own side to wake up and face the facts: if they don’t rein in their loudest members and work to coexist among people who frequently misunderstand the facts about transgenderism, their entire community risks the loss of the protections and empathy they’ve gained. Wu warns that Liberals redefining the trans community to include fetishists, pushing youth transition on autistic children, and putting biological men in women’s sports, are “hurting people” and destroying legitimate healthcare. Brianna Wu joins Dr. Drew to discuss why she refuses to be silent about the biological realities of being trans. Journalist Brad Polumbo breaks down the recent SCOTUS decision regarding “conversion therapy” and his own experience being kicked off a gay soccer team for speaking about male / female biological differences. Attorney Viva Frei exposes the bizarre reality of Canada’s new “equity ID cards” and the ongoing battle for free speech and civil liberties. Brianna Wu is an American video game developer, computer programmer, and self-described “transsexual woman.” She co-founded Giant Spacekat, a Boston-based video game studio.
