Summary

Evil always has and always will exist—that’s a tale as old as time. But should we trust the government to protect us from evil? Liz explores this question, and the answer may not be as simple as it seems. Case in point: The FBI’s (latest) failure in the case of Gabby Petito’s death. Plus, Biden seeks to make it harder for conservatives to get COVID treatment at the same time he ignores the dangerous crisis looming at our border.
