Topic: Us Census

The Trump administration's decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census has sparked lawsuits from California and other states. Critics argue the question will intimidate immigrant communities, leading to an undercount that affects federal funding and congressional representation. The hosts explain the constitutional purpose of the census and the political stakes involved in counting non-citizens.

An analyst report from Brian Weiser of Pivotal Research reveals that Facebook claims an "estimated reach" in the U.S. that exceeds the actual population recorded by the U.S. Census by 10 million people. Facebook attributes the discrepancy to tourists and duplicate accounts, but critics argue the company is inflating its numbers to advertisers. The hosts use this as evidence that the traditional digital advertising model is "full of crap."

The U.S. Census Bureau has released population charts projecting a significant decline in world population starting around 2012. The data suggests a drop from 8 billion toward 4 billion, which the hosts find notable in the context of various globalist theories.
