What this episode covers
The U.S. census is supposed to be a simple count, but Wade Miller of the Center for Renewing America argues it has been quietly weaponized to distort congressional representation for an entire decade. On this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, host Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Miller to break down how a statistical algorithm called “differential privacy” scrambled 2020 population data — moving people from rural areas to urban ones, tilting redistricting toward blue states, and even misdirecting hundreds of billions in federal tax dollars. Miller explains why the Biden administration admitted at least six congressional seats went to Democrats they should not have, why a congressman cannot find out how many citizens actually live in his own district, and how the census could still be republished to give states accurate data before the 2028 cycle. He also walks through his “America First, Not Senate First” primer — four concrete fixes for a Senate that talks endlessly but debates nothing, and why the SAVE America Act already has the votes to pass. Wade Miller is executive director of the Center for Renewing America, a combat-veteran U.S. Marine Corps infantryman, a longtime adviser to OMB Director Russ Vought, and former chief of staff to Congressman Chip Roy. This is a conversation about whether constitutional government can still be maintained — and what activists can do right now to demand a fair, accurate count.
