The trial of Shara v. Ascension Health is highlighted, involving the alleged wrongful death of a 19-year-old with Down syndrome during the COVID-19 pandemic. The segment also covers the history of John Birch, an American missionary and army captain murdered by communists in China, for whom the John Birch Society is named.

Scott Schara warns the public about signing electronic pads during hospital admissions, advising patients to demand paper copies and strike out clauses that waive their rights. He reveals that Ascension Health's legal defense denies they "directly provide healthcare services" and suggests that any damages were the result of the plaintiffs' own decisions. Schara argues that doctors should not have special liability protections that other business owners do not enjoy.
