Dr. Drew Pinsky 0:02
Well, today I'm joined by Keira Davis again for a few minutes. She, of course, is going to sit in for me next week. And we will be joined after a while with James Zimmerman, professional clarinetist. And he is suing after being denied a position in the Knoxville Symphony. There's a whole story he's going to tell us there. And Lauren Chen, a social commentator, political commentator as well, began as a YouTuber and has appeared on many different outlets. Rubin Reporter, Gregory Yu, etc., And she has a very interesting story to tell us. You can follow Lauren at TheLaurenChen, L-A-U-R-E-N. And you can follow James Zimmerman, that on Z, James Zimmerman, just like it sounds, up with two Ns. And Kira Davis is Kira Davis on X. We'll be back with all of our guests and a little commentary about Scott Adams right about this, after this.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 0:52
Our laws, as it pertains to substances, are draconian and bizarre. The psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous.

How did James Zimmerman feel about the DEI hiring practices in orchestras?

Dr. Drew Pinsky 1:04
I'm a doctor for f***'s sake. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 1:35
All right, everybody, please welcome back Kira Davis. Kira, how have you been?
Kira Davis 1:39
Hey, Drew. I have been very well.

What legal challenges did Lauren Chen face after the FBI raid?

Kira Davis 1:42
Happy New Year. Merry Christmas to you. All that good stuff.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 1:47
so i'm a little um you know a little depressed i'd say uh my if you were watching the the roll up onto this show we did a little tape of me and scott adams back in the day and he was many times on this show and uh he was a i would say a good friend i don't think that's overstating him he was an important figure he continued to do his morning stream at seven o'clock all the way to the end And actually gave those of us that were... Did you see the most recent stuff? Yeah. I did.
Kira Davis 2:20
I don't typically watch that, but I did. Yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 2:24
It got a little tough to watch, but he wanted it that way. And I told Greg Gutfeld, who was like, we got to stop him. I said, you know, it may be uncomfortable for us to watch. This is the way death and dying is. It's uncomfortable for us to watch, but you have to let people do it on their own terms. If you stop it because you don't like what it looks like, that is about as selfish as you can possibly be.

What impact did the media coverage have on Lauren Chen's reputation?

Dr. Drew Pinsky 2:46
And he wanted his ex-wife to let him do it. Read a letter this morning, and he has a tape that has yet to be publicly disclosed. We'll see if she decides to... Oh, something's wrong with our sound, I guess. The people on the restream are telling me that between Kira and me, there's some real problem with the sound. Caleb? Let's see if we can get that squared out.
Unknown 3:12
Testing 1, 2, 3. I'm checking it. I just turned Drew's up a little bit. Is that better?
Dr. Drew Pinsky 3:17
No, no. It's the delay. There's some massive delay or something. They're saying everything's out of sync, not the volume.
Unknown 3:23
It's Scott Adams.

How did Lauren Chen's family cope with the aftermath of the raid?

Dr. Drew Pinsky 3:24
Yeah, Scott's here. He's letting us know he's here, Kara.
Unknown 3:26
He wants to let us know. I have a thing about ghosts.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 3:30
But I feel, I just want to say a few things. I want to keep going. At the beginning of the, back when you used to do the radio show with me over on KBC, I was confused by the people that were so enthusiastic about Donald Trump. I couldn't figure it out. I sort of had neutral response to him, which I kind of do to this day, I'm sorry to tell you. But I'm wondering why I don't have some extremism. reaction one way or the other the way so many people do um but he scott adams pointed out oh it's muted something's muted to somebody put up on the uh maybe it's your mock disaster maybe you're muted there no multiple people are commenting on it so oh it's back now it's back now apparently on it Okay, Kayla's working on it.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 4:19
So I'm going to keep going.
