He revealed to listeners of his iHeartRadio talk show that he was broadcasting live from his new studio in Florida, where he\u2019s taken full-time residence.<\/p>\n<p>He opened his show with \u201cbreaking news,\u201d saying, \u201cIf 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. I am out. I am done. I\u2019m finished. New York, New York. Goodbye. Florida. Florida. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. But it\u2019s great to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannity continued, \u201cAnd finally, for the first time that I can think of in my adult life, I actually have representatives in the state that I\u2019m living in that share my values. I have a governor by the name of\u00a0Ron DeSantis and Senators\u00a0Marco Rubio\u00a0and Rick Scott. So I\u2019m feeling a lot better about it, and I\u2019m not going to go through the whys. The how comes because it\u2019s obvious this migration out of the blue states with high taxes, burdensome regulation, high crime, and horrible school districts is real. And if anything, I\u2019m probably late and behind the curve, and many others have made the move beforehand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z0bXxpCeS4M?si=38PguI--cirnm7hA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Hannity\u2019s move followed what many have referred to as a \u201cblue state exodus,\u201d with thousands of citizens moving from blue states like California and New York to more red states like Florida and Texas. Those moving to red states have cited reasons like a lower cost of living or a desire to move to a safer area. It\u2019s no secret why so many high-earning individuals move to Florida: the\u00a0tax code saves citizens a ton of money\u00a0on state and local taxes compared to New York.<\/p>\n<p>Hannity has regularly hosted his Fox News show from his Long Island compound, which includes a full television studio, except for when he hosts live studio audiences at the Fox News broadcast headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. One can only assume that Hannity and Fox News have the means to fly the top-rated host to and from his Florida residence to continue live shows.<\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Florida saw one of the most significant population increases in July, with approximately 365,00 people, or 1.6 percent of its population, permanently relocating to the Sunshine State. Meanwhile,\u00a0New York saw\u00a0about 102,000 people moving out, the highest gross population decrease in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Hannity recently announced on his radio show that he\u2019s taking his talents to Florida and saying goodbye to his home in Long Island, New York.
