Not going to make quick decisions about New York, not New York right now. New York has some great things going for it, as you know, like the human capital, the brain power, the financial industry.
So it's a center for us. But my caution would be really saying is New York has to compete. No city has divine rights of success. There are great cities everywhere. We now have more people in Texas than we have in New York.
That didn't have to be that way. And so, you know, if I was any mayor of any city, I'd be thinking about what do I need to do to build a great city, to help all of my citizens, and all the things that create good competition. JPMorgan Chase Chairman, CEO Jamie Dimon, speaking yesterday on the impact of Zo Rum on Donnie's win. And of course, he has a building about two blocks from Fox headquarters. It is a mammoth building, billions of dollars of investment.
It's hard to believe that he would be able to leave even if he wanted to. Will Kane, you did leave before the election. Thanks so much for joining us. What's up? Did you know that?
More JPMorgan Chase employees in Texas than in New York City? I did. And I knew that fact. And last night driving through the streets of New York was the first time I saw that new building in New York City. Is it unbelievable?
It's unbelievable. And to think that huge rocks at the bottom. And to think they built that. And yet they still have more employees in Texas than in New York. And they're not alone.
Goldman Sachs is putting a huge office in New York. They'll have more employees. I mean, in Texas, they'll have more employees in Dallas than they have in New York. And I've heard rumors there's some other ones, big ones coming to Dallas.
So the first thing I would do as mayor is meet with all these guys and say, listen, what do I need to stay? These are my philosophies. How do we work together? But so far, Jamie Dimon says, I haven't heard much. I was invited to one meeting.
I was out of the country. I haven't heard anything since. What does that tell you about how you think he might govern?
Well, what we know so far is two things about Zora Mamdani and how he'll govern. Number one is what he said. I mean, you have to take that the most seriously. What he said, and what his philosophy is, and his ideology. I mean, the guy is a self-avowed Democrat socialist.
He quotes Eugene Debs, as you pointed out, I think, this morning on Fox and Friends, who was a famous socialist, ran for president five times on the socialist ticket in the 1920s in America. And who he staffed himself with around on his transition team, and the people that contributed to his election, and the people that he's already staffed on his transition team. There's a lot of de Blasio holdovers, and here's the thing. As much as we talk about Momdani, de Blasio was a communist. There was, I mean, that's also not a controversial.
Change his name, change everything. Exactly. Didn't he honeymoon in Cuba or Soviet Union or whatever? And Bernie Sanders did in Russia. Yeah.
Soviet Union. Right.
So, so the de Blasio continuation is a part of what we'll see with Momdani. And. I lived in New York during the Blasio years. It was a mess. He was a mess, the city was a mess.
It was hard to break New York because Giuliani and then three turns, Giuliani twice, and then three terms of Bloomberg, who, even if you don't agree with him on the big gulps or whatever, and she limits size. Guy was unbelievably competent. And I also heard that he took money out of his pocket a lot and just fixed things. Just like fixed it. You don't do that job to be rich.
You do it as service. And he set up almost a school for mayors where he brings them through the X's and O's and how to do it. This guy's not interested in even doing that. Bloomberg's interesting because I complained as well about the big gulps and the micromanagement of life, but if you are going to have a leader that micromanages life in some way, it's best done at the city level, not at the state, not at the national level. and he was competent, to your point.
Um you're going to have no incompetence in there. I think you had incompetence with de Blasio. We'll see with Mamdani. We have an ideological guy. Will we have competence to go along with it?
Meaning, can he actually make the trains run on time? Can he clean up the subway? Is he interested in cleaning up the subway? Is he interested in keeping safe streets and so forth? But what I'm going towards with the Bloomberg thing is you don't have to.
To bring this full circle back to. You know, all of this business moving to Texas and notably Dallas, that is not how that city is run. That is not how that state is run. It is a minimal impact on life government, and it flourishes. It's a clean, easy, nice.

Now, Florida's almost stopped recruiting at this point. Has Texas?
Well, I think we should. Right.
I really do. Because you're getting everyone's, you know, a lot of people that don't want to come over there and be capitalists. I'm highly concerned about cultural shift. Highly concerned about the thing that may, and okay, let's talk about Texas, but let's also, for everyone listening, understand we're also talking about America.
So this is one in the same. What am I worried about with Texas? There are things that made it great. And most of what made it great is a culture. And it's a law, that culture was bred over time, like over 150 years with the people that first came to Texas.
That spirit, that risk tolerance, that pushing the edge, that frontiers move. America wasn't new enough. They went to Texas for something new, new. And they were edgy people. They weren't safe, rich, happy people.
They were like, I need something better, and I'm going to go fight the Comanche.
Some were running from the law.
Some ran from the law. But they built a culture that has sustained over time. If you bring people in that don't buy into that culture, even if you buy into the politics, it does highly concern me. Let's bring that back over to America. President Trump says, let's bring the best and the brightest.
Well, I like that to a degree, but I want to preserve American culture. As much as I want us to be a transactional corporation that works great and everybody makes a good living, more than that, I want the culture that got us here over time, and I want to preserve that. And for me, that's not just a conversation about. Illegal immigration. That's a conversation about legal immigration.
That's a conversation about H-1B visas. That's a conversation about assimilation. And I think those are, actually, Brian, I think that's the most important thing. That should be focused on America. I think everything else is subsidiary to that.
And one person that I do think shares that belief with me is the vice president.
So you want people that want to be Americans. And I want them to buy into being Americans and to become Americans.
So that's why they put them through tests before you become an American. You get a green card, that's a non-stop test. You get a DWI with a green card, you get in a bar fight, you've lost your green card.
So you're on trial, number one. And number two is you're going to have to pass a test in order to do it. But not just civics, Brian. I'm going to be blunt with you. I want you to leave behind the majority of your culture.
The place that you're leaving is a product of your culture.
Now you assimilate and adopt our culture.
Now you bring some parts of it, and this is the part of America where we've taken from Italian, we've taken from Mexican-American, we've taken from any. I mean, there's little Italy for a reason. I mean, there is a Brazil, like that Brazil street that's right, which is a Diamond District. But that's not ideal. Ideal is assimilation.
Yeah.
And you come to America because you like Friday night football, because you like the way we go about life. Like the Cubans did. In that generation, when Castro. Oh, by the way, there's a ton of successful examples of this. It's not ethnically or racially tied.
It's about culture. Do you buy into culture?
So let me ask you on immigration, not quite on the topic, but immigration is the headline. Real quick on this, did you know who Jennifer Welch is? Is that her name, Jennifer? Yeah.
I don't know why she's somebody. She was a Bravo star of some type, and now she's an angry leftist.
So she's the other night when Mom Donnie wins, she's over there on one of the networks she's on. She's got Mehdi Hassan, who is a multiculturalist that hates American culture. She's got the dude that looks like he's from the Invincibles or the Incredibles with the hair that goes up. I don't know who's in the world. I know who you're talking about.
And she says, the problem in America is crusty white people. And that America, there's no such thing as culture. There is no American culture. And the culture of America is multicultural. And she's very popular.
Yeah.
How crazy is that? That's my enemy. What would you do with the immigrants? A lot in Texas that have been working on farms for 20, 20 years, working in meatpacking for 20 years. What would you do with them?
Do they need to be round up and tossed out?
Well, that's a really, okay, that's supposed to be a really hard question. And in some ways, it is. Like, do I personally know people that fit the description? Yeah, I do. And they're good people.
Especially if you're a soccer fan. And they're friends. Yeah.
I don't want you to narrow down my mind. Yeah.
But we also are a nation of laws. And if Being a good person. You know, last night, I don't know if you saw his story. Defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys, second-round pick a year ago, scored a touchdown on Monday night when they blocked the punt. Marshawn Nealon.
He died last night. It's breaking news this morning. And everybody's like, he's such a great guy. And we don't know what happened, but there are some chatter out there that it wasn't good. And I was just talking to some guys over there.
I'm like, man, everybody says he's a good guy, but being a good guy does not absolve you of having to obey the rules, obey the laws. And so you take it back to the immigration thing. In I'm sorry, we are a nation of laws, and there's a path to citizenship that is required of people. And being a good person, even somebody that I like or even that I love, does not change the necessity to follow the law.
Okay.
So you're saying it's a black and white issue? I okay, if it's not black and white, where is the gray line? Case by case? What are we going to do?
Well, I have a great idea. You want to know? Yeah, yeah. You have to solve something big. You have a pen handy?
Yeah.
You wanna jot this down for your show? It's okay. You have a great mind. Do you have a Sharpie somewhere? Right, I don't, somewhere.
All right, ready? Fifteen years. 15 years over with a sponsor, never get citizenship, but you basically have to register, we'll get a hold of you, and you're never going to be a citizen. But if you have somebody sponsor you in meatpacking, farming, whatever it is, you'd have an opportunity to stay. On something like an extended work visa.
For example, there are work visas where people come in seasonally and can work officially. I would expand that, number one, legally, legally be a seasonal work visa. And I would also. Seasonal, though? Because the people you're describing aren't here seasonal.
No, true. Two separate things. I would just say work visas to attract people because we need manual labor, it seems, almost everywhere. If you talk especially in the farming community, how would you feel about people who have been here before that have that sponsorship?
So you focus on the worst to worst. 15 years. Yep. Sponsorship. No citizenship.
What are you? And then you get on the books, you're paying taxes, you're going to have to work for a person that's going to pay you what everyone else is getting paid. And if you hire that person in order to get around the system, you're not going to sponsor that person. How do you prove you've been here for 15 years? I think you've got an address.
Well, that's on them. And I think you could prove it from various things that maybe you got to, how are you getting paid, that there are bank records that you're walking into, you know, your favorite bank and depositing money here. I mean, I think.
So, I think your idea is interesting. I'd be open to it. You know what you have to do then? You have to sit down and think about the. Hospitality.
Well, you've got to think about. All the things that we're not thinking about. You gotta take them at what, how does that get exploited? How does that get, you know? cheated.
Even beyond that, what is that net effect on America? And I'm not close to your idea. I just. But I'm not ready to co-sign either just yet. What about if I was to tell you?
That so many people who voted for Trump in business and in the farming community are asking for that. They need to say, you can't gut my entire workforce. I had nobody working here. I was hired to leave. It was really no problem.
If all my guys leave, I'm done. First of all, I don't even think we're on pace for that, Brian. Like, we're not on pace to be deporting everybody that we're describing. We're having a debate about something that is theoretical. I know that the other networks all talk about it like we're deporting every single person that's in this country illegally.
The numbers don't support that. It's only been a couple of million. that have left so far. That have left, and a lot of that's self-deported. Yeah.
Over a million have self-deported.
So they're squeezing out anyway. Other people say, listen, I want to stay. And I think there's something to be said for that. And if you look at these industries, like with the e-Verify, you put e-Verify in, and right away you can be able to get a lot of people. They just, Democrats lobbied to get that out because it was actually revealing who was here legally.
So I just think there's got to be some type of break here. Also, in Texas, I think a lot of people in Texas feel the same way. I Texas, I can tell you, Texas has changed over my lifetime. It has changed dramatically. And so Yes, a lot of people are here that are good people, are working and doing valuable jobs, but is it what's My only question is the greatest political prism of our time, does it serve America first?
Right.
