Geographically speaking he is correct actually, most those cities he listed are south of the country. Except DC and Philly of course, that just makes no sense. They are northern whether it be geography or whatever else criteria you are using.
That's why I really don't like census terms. They should have been changed a long time ago or at least be renamed to something not geographical.
Genius NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and Milwaukee are all obviously in the north with Philly, NYC and Boston being the northeast and Chicago and Milwaukee being midwestern. Here study this you obviously need help with US regional geography.

I was born and lived for many years in New York City. Visit it about once a month because my favorite uncle lives in lower Manhattan.
I lived for many years in Miami ... still have family there. I go to Miami once a year.
Although not from here, I choose to live in Philadelphia. I don't think it's fair to compare a city with 1.2 million people with one that has 8.3 million. However I still prefer Philly. It has a very rich culture and diverse population. I think NYC has lost any historical charm it might have once had, but Philly retains it. Did you know that with the opening of the Barnes Foundation (along with our superb Art Museum and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art) Philly now boasts MORE European Impressionists and Post-Impressionists masterpieces (by artists like Cezanne, Renoir, Matisse, Gaugan, Van Gogh, Modigliani, Picasso, etc.) than either New York City or Washington? Besides, our Fairmount Park is bigger and more beautiful than Central Park.
Miami has it's own unique vibe. It is a resort city, so it should be judged by other standards. It is wonderful.
Of all the cities on the east coast Boston is the most elegant and refined. Boston with it's unsurpassed educational institutions, is "the Athens of America." It, too, is wonderful.
Okay, my list:
1. Philadelphia
2. Boston
3. NYC
4. Miami
5. Baltimore
6. Atlanta

This map is outdated like most things in this country. American's don't like to update s--t.
Culturally.. Maryland and DC are not really the south. If the map was based on location it would be a straight line. Notice how when it gets far east the line moves north to include Maryland and Delaware in the south when they are not located any further south than Kansas.
So if "the south" is based on location then this map is wrong. If the south is based on culture its even more wrong.

That map is from the Census, which is what designates regions of the country. It's not necessarily cultural, just for the purposes of dividing and gathering information.
The definitions of North vs South are probably historical, slave states versus free states (free after a certain year of course - all original states were at some point slave states), Union versus Confederate. I understand it's blurred in the Mid-Atlantic (and MD and DE were never part of the Confederacy), but it is what it is. The US is blending more than ever, IMO, but it doesn't mean we should eliminate regional divisions for official purposes.
Parts of Maryland, for one, definitely feel Southern.
