And in the key Senate race, James Tallarico is currently trading at 52% to beat Ken Paxton. That means $100 trade pays out over $180 with a win.

There is a principle at work in Medicare that should bother you. The people advising you on your plan are often incentivized to recommend what pays you the most, not what fits you the best. Most people make this decision once and never revisit it. Even though plans change every single year. Millions are locked into coverage that no longer makes sense for them. They don't even know it. Chapter is structured differently. They're independent, the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide. Not a selection, every plan. They look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your priorities, and they tell you the truth. If you're on the right plan, they will say so. If you're not, they'll help you switch. No pressure, no sales pitch. People who have found new plans through Chapter have saved over $1,100 a year on average. Go to dailywire.com/chapter. It's free, takes under 20 minutes. You'll walk away actually knowing whether your plan fits your life, which is more than the system was designed to give you.

Leftist thought leader Hasan Piker kicks off a live podcast show with a song and dance routine, making fun of Charlie Kirk's assassination to a packed house of his hideous, guffawing fans. We are coming up on one year since Charlie's murder, and huge swaths of the left have not stopped laughing since. Then, Vice President JD Vance takes a big swing at the business wing of the GOP, as the Beltway establishment continues to seethe at the Vice President's apostasy from the economic slogans of 1987 And, speaking of, young men leave the workforce, that's bad, but they are entering the church. And I think I might be able to explain both of those facts. I'm Michael Knowles, this is The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show, Anna Farris, the ex-wife of, is it Chris Pratt? She was married to Chris Pratt. Anna Farris is just making headlines because her son is Christian and she's not, and she's trying to get him to stop being so religious. We're just in an upside down world where the parents are telling their kids, stop rebelling by following God. Come on, kids, get with the program. Why aren't you atheists? We'll get to all of that first. I want to tell you about Balance of Nature. Go to balanceofnature.com, use promo code Knowles. Your life is mostly made up of things too small to remember. The cup of coffee you make every morning, the book you read before bed, the walk you take after dinner, the things we do consistently rarely feel momentous while we're doing them, and yet, over time, those little rituals become our lives. That is how I think about healthy habits. I'm not particularly interested in a grand transformation that lasts 11 days. I'm interested in things simple enough to become a routine that is one of the many reasons that I love Balance of Nature. The whole health system brings together 47 ingredients of real whole fruits, vegetables, spices and fibers. The routine itself could not be simpler. Three fruits capsules, three veggie capsules, two scoops of fiber and spice. You do it today, you do it tomorrow, eventually you don't have to think about it very much at all. The things worth doing are usually worth doing consistently. If you're looking for a healthy habit, simple enough to actually keep, go to balanceofnature.com. Simple ingredients, simple routine, get an additional 10% off any Balance of Nature subscription plus a free guiltless snack when you use promo code Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S balanceofnature.com promo code Knowles. Okay, before we get into any story, I really want to get into the Hasan story because it just tells you everything. It tells you everything about our political moment. But before we get into that, I do have to get to AOC. I am sorry to report that AOC is taking her clothes off again.
