Politically, Pinsky has increasingly spoken of the 'tyranny' of governmental overreach and the need for a “Liberty Party.”

In mid February 2020, Pinsky called the Media's reaction to CoViD-19 outbreak "overblown-press created hysteria" and remarked that "people that are special diseases specialist, people in the CDC, epidemiologist need to take this very seriously." Subsequently, he tried to rewrite months of claiming the flu was worse than CoViD-19, by claiming on March 31 that he had all along said CoViD-19 would be worse than the flu.

When it came to confronting the effects of too much sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, Drew Pinsky was the man everyone sought out. An American board-certified internist and addiction medicine specialist, "Dr. Drew" (as he was more popularly known), was the MTV generation's Dr. Ruth. He dished helpful advice to millions through his nationally syndicated radio show "Loveline," the TV series "Strictly Sex with Dr. Drew" (Discovery Health Channel, 2005), and in the reality program "Celebrity Rehab" (VH1, 2008- ), where he spent 21 days with stars who battled alcohol and drug addiction, including actor Jeff Conaway, wrestler Chyna, and former "American Idol" (FOX, 2002 - ) contestant Jessica Sierra.

David Drew Pinsky was born on Sept. 4, 1958 in Pasadena, CA. His father Morton was a doctor, and his mother Helene Stanton was a singer and actress. As a child, Pinsky often went on house calls with his father and decided he, too, wanted to be a doctor. He attended Polytechnic High School, a private school in his hometown, where he played football and served as class president. He majored in Biology at Amherst College in Massachusetts, graduating in 1980 before transferring to USC School of Medicine. After getting his PhD in 1984, Pinsky worked as a resident at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, where he eventually became chief resident and later opened a private practice.
