Who we honor as a society demonstrates what values and traits we encourage, and—oh boy—is USA Today encouraging some bad ones. From Simone Biles to Melinda Gates to Rachel Levine, Liz walks through USA Today’s "women of the year” list and reveals why perhaps these aren’t the women (and men) we should honor. If we want to recognize a strong woman, maybe we should take a look at Tulsi Gabbard holding the government accountable for the biolabs in Ukraine. This is The Liz Wheeler Show.
