On December 7, 2025, JPMorgan Chase chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon sat down with Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures and laid out a blunt, pro-America playbook: a $1.5 trillion security and resiliency initiative to bring critical industry back to our shores, and a pragmatic forecast on artificial intelligence that should calm—if not shame—some of the alarmists in the media. Dimon’s comments were a welcome dose of common sense from a leader who actually manages risk and creates jobs, not just pontificates from an ivory tower.
Dimon’s prediction on AI was refreshingly realistic: he doesn’t expect AI to “dramatically reduce” jobs next year and compared its long-term effects to tractors, fertilizers and vaccines—technologies that ultimately raised living standards. That’s the conservative case for cautious optimism: technology can lift Americans up when harnessed properly, not destroy their livelihoods if we don’t let fear-driven policymakers strangle innovation.
At the same time, Dimon insisted the technology must be regulated, not smothered, and urged Americans to double down on uniquely human skills like critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and clear communication. His advice is practical and patriotic—retraining and skills investments are solutions conservatives can get behind because they preserve dignity and productivity rather than handing out permanent government dependents.
The centerpiece of the interview was JPMorgan’s $1.5 trillion security and resiliency initiative, a private-sector bet on American manufacturing and supply-chain sovereignty that conservatives should loudly applaud. After decades of offshoring that hollowed out heartland towns, it’s about time corporate America invested in doing business the American way—secure, resilient, and rooted in communities that produce real value.
Dimon also addressed tensions with China with the clear-eyed view that foreign policy is set by the U.S. government and that American companies will follow those rules while serving customers worldwide. That is exactly the posture conservatives should demand: firms that respect national security concerns, a government that acts decisively when needed, and a private sector that refuses to be naive about the CCP’s strategic ambitions.
Finally, Dimon warned against the self-inflicted wounds of shutdowns and Washington gridlock, calling such stunts bad management that hurt ordinary Americans. Conservatives who love liberty and prosperity should take his message to heart—support private-sector initiatives that rebuild American strength, demand common-sense guardrails for AI that protect citizens without killing innovation, and hold lawmakers accountable to put country over caucus.
