“If anybody is listening to this program for any length of time, been threatening now to do this for quite a while, but we are now beginning our first broadcast of my new home, and that is in the free state of Florida,” Hannity said.
“I’m finished. New York, New York, goodbye. Florida, Florida, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. But it’s great to be here.”
Hannity ripped into the so-called failed Empire State, citing “high taxes, burdensome regulations, high crime, and horrible school districts” as his reason for moving.
“Like so many Americans, I left New York for good, and now in a state where, let’s see, warmer weather, law and order, better education, more freedom, better quality of life, and guess what, no state income tax,” Hannity said.
Hannity predicted the mass migration out of Democratic states like New York, California, and Pennsylvania will continue.
In fact, southern states like Texas and Florida saw a population increase last year, with approximately 365,000 people relocating to the Sunshine State and about 473,000 people moving to the Longhorn State, according to the US Census.
Meanwhile, New York saw about 102,000 residents fleeing the state, the highest gross population decrease in the country, per the US Census.
Hannity also pointed to left-wing policies for his move out of the Big Apple, boasting about Florida’s Republican leaders.
“And finally, for the first time I can think of in my adult life, I actually have representatives in the state that I’m living in that share my values,” Hannity said.
“I have a governor by the name of Ron DeSantis, Senator Marco Rubio, and Senator Rick Scott.
“So, I’m feeling a lot better about it.”
Hannity added that he’s actually “late and behind the curve” of Americans fleeing high-tax states.
