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 what happens in Canada doesn’t often stay with its borders: California is rapidly adopting draconian measures that mirror Canada’s radical program. Since it was made legal in 2016, MAiD has been responsible for over 76,000 deaths in Canada, now accounting for over five percent of all deaths in the country.
