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.

Former NBA star Enes Kanter-Freedom has been kicked out of a WNBA game after one of the Lady basketball players started yelling at him. Now you can see in the clip.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:38)
And right before the break, this was the scene inside Wintrust Arena.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:41)
She runs up to him.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:43)
After Natasha Cloud got that bucket, she wanted her voice heard.

**Michael Knowles** (1:47)
It was heard. Her voice was heard.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:49)
We have talked about the conversations. They escort him out.

The lady basketball player was upset over Enes Kanter-Freedom's T-shirt, which said woman, noun, adult human female. The WNBA in general is furious that conservatives keep asking them to clarify that men can't play in the league. And the general public is shocked that the WNBA can't bring itself to clarify that the women's basketball league is only for women. Now, I, like statistically everyone on earth, do not care about the WNBA. I care about justice, I care about reality, I care that girls are treated fairly, but I certainly do not care about women's sports. The reason this story interests me is that the WNBA is a microcosm of the Democrat Party, of the whole American left. People misunderstand why the WNBA can't bring itself to exclude trans-identifying men. A lot of people think it's because the WNBA doesn't know the difference between men and women, or thinks that men really can become women or something like that. That is not it. The WNBA knows the difference. Just the photo of Enes Kanter Freedom standing up at the game shows that everyone knows the difference. Enes is 6'10, the median WNBA player is about 6 tall. He's almost a foot taller than them. They're not going to let him join the league. But they also can't give up the ideology that blurs the difference between men and women.
I don't want to get into these personal kind of things. I want to pry too much on the ladies.
About 1 in 4 WNBA players is a lesbian. That is almost 18 times the Subaru ownership rate of the general female population. The WNBA ladies are extraordinarily, uncommonly sapphic. And statistically 100% of them are feminists. Which is to say, the WNBA can't give up gender ideology. Even though it's insane, even though if fully implemented, it would destroy the whole organization, the WNBA can't give it up. Because gender ideology is baked into the WNBA intrinsically. The reason the story matters politically is that the same thing is true of the modern Democrat party, certainly of the American left. That is why the best the left can say to win back moderate voters is that woke one was crazy. They can't tell you how it's crazy. They can't disavow a single aspect of it. They know it's crazy. They know it's ultimately destructive, that if it were fully implemented, it would end the party and the whole political order. But it's baked in. So the only thing they can do is escort Enes Kanter out of the stadium. The only thing they can do is try to shut up the people who are telling the truth. Try to play one more game, win one more election, ignore the implications of their own beliefs.
