| 0:17.3 | This show is sponsored by ExpressVPN. It's time to stand up to big tech. Protect your data at ExpressVPN.com. Well, before we go any further, let me remind you, you were spending hundreds of dollars too much on your cell phone bill every single year, like way too much. Because you could have the same exact coverage as one of the giant cell phone companies and not spend a fortune on those companies. Instead, why don't you switch over to Pure Talk USA just like thousands of my customers? That's right, instead of charging you, obscene fees to pay for their massive mainstream media campaigns, corporate campuses, retail outlets across the country, Pure Talk will pass the savings onto you. The average family saves over $800 a year. It's a lot of money. Switching is super easy. I mean, really, it is really, really, really simple. You keep your phone, you can keep your number, or you can get giant discounts on the latest iPhones and Android. We, for example, got an iPhone 12 at a heavily discounted price. Right now, you can get unlimited talk text and six gigs of data for just 30 bucks a month. And here's the thing. If you go over on the data, they are not going to charge you for us. You really have nothing to lose. So instead of taking that one size fits all plan from a giant cell coverage provider, charging you hundreds of dollars too much every year, instead, check out Pure Talk USA by dialing pound 250 and saying my name Ben Shapiro. You'll save 50% off your first month and hundreds for the rest of the year. That's pound 250. That's pound 250 to get started again. Dial pound 250 and say my name Ben Shapiro to get started with Pure Talk USA. Well, before I get to the news, quick announcement about our job openings here at the DailyWair.

I might just see you around in National. Okay. So the big news of the day is that we now have census numbers. And what the census numbers show is that Americans are now moving. They are voting with their feet. They're moving from states like New York, like California, and they are going to places that are more purple or red. Why? Well, because it is better to live in places that are purple or red as a recent expatriate from California to Florida. Let me tell you, Florida is better. It is way better. And I'm not the only one because Florida just picked up a congressional seat thanks to the Census Bureau. Texas picked up a couple of congressional |
| 2:38.6 | seats thanks to the Census Bureau. By the way, that was actually sort of an underestimate. |
| 2:43.8 | Most people thought that Florida was going to pick up at least two, not just one. But the states |
| 2:48.1 | that gained are almost entirely purple or red, and the states that lost are almost |
| 2:52.0 | entirely blue. The sole exception, I believe, there is probably Ohio, which lost a congressional |
| 2:57.5 | seat, and that is because the Rust Belt has been moving a lot into the sunbelt. |
| 3:00.9 | According to the Washington Post, political power in the United States will continue to shift |
| 3:04.5 | south this decade, as historically democratic states that border the Great Lakes give up congressional seats and electoral votes to regions where Republicans |
| 3:11.0 | currently enjoy a political advantage, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau. |
| 3:15.2 | Texas, Florida, North Carolina, you wonder why your corporate media in New York and L.A., why they |
| 3:20.6 | despise Texas and Florida, why they are constantly ripping on Texas and Florida, it's because all of the people who earn money in these states and have the ability to move and don't have their heads so far up their own rectums, it's coming out their head again, are moving away from New York and Connecticut and New Jersey and California, and they are moving instead to states where they can actually live comfortable, nice, free lives. Texas, Florida, and North Carolina, three states that voted twice for President Trump |
| 3:43.3 | are set to gain a combined four additional seats in Congress in 2023 because of population |
| 3:47.1 | growth, granting them collectively as many new votes in the electoral college for the next |
| 3:50.9 | presidential election as Hawaii has in total. |
| 3:53.5 | So this does shift some of the electoral college math. |
| 3:55.9 | Not only that, it shifts the nature of the |
| 3:57.6 | House. Most political prognosticators believe that Republicans, because of that re-apportionment, basically just gained three seats in the House. Well, Democrats are only up by five or six seats in the House right now. So that means the Republicans are already, just thanks to the Census Bureau, on the verge of retaking the House of Representatives. Now, that changes based on redistricting in a lot of |
| 4:14.5 | these states. We know that in New York, for example, there are a bunch of Republican seats in New York. |
| 4:18.3 | New York is going to redistrict, and they're attempting to get rid of a lot of those Republican |
