New York Gov. [Kathy Hochul]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/kathy-hochul') indicated that the Empire State needs wealthy individuals paying taxes in the state to help fund social programs, but noted that the state's tax base has "eroded."

During remarks at Politico's "New York Agenda: Albany Summit" event last week, the Democratic governor [explained]('

') that she needs individuals with a "high net worth to support the generous social programs that we wanna have in our state."

"Kathy Hochul finally discovered what New Yorkers already know," Blakeman said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "When you raise taxes, drive up the cost of living, make it harder to do business, and try to destroy families' savings, people leave. Apparently Hochul's new economic development strategy is to ask them politely to come back."

"Palm Beach is lovely this time of year, but I'm not sure former New Yorkers will be eager to trade sunshine, no state income tax, and sanity for the highest taxes in the nation under Kathy Hochul — especially while Zohran Mamdani proposes a massive death tax hike. He wants to start taxing inheritances as low as $750,000 and take up to half of what families leave behind. That's a tough sell."

[HEADING=2][SIZE=7]Trump Jokes About Pearl Harbor in Meeting With Japan’s Leader[/SIZE][/HEADING]
Breaking a taboo, President Trump needled Japan’s prime minister about the World War II attack, as she widened her eyes and appeared to take a deep breath in the Oval Office.

For decades, American presidents have avoided speaking harshly about Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, eager to focus instead on deepening ties with Tokyo, which has been a steadfast ally since World War II.

Not so with President Trump.

At an otherwise congenial [meeting]('https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/world/asia/trump-japan-takaichi-iran-hormuz.html') with Japan’s prime minister, [Sanae Takaichi]('https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/world/asia/japan-takaichi-washington-internship.html'), in the Oval Office on Thursday, Mr. Trump invoked the Japanese attack on Dec. 7, 1941, which led the United States into World War II. He was responding to a question about why Japan and other allies had received no advance notice of the U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran.

“We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise,” he said. “Who knows better about surprise than Japan, OK? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK? Right?”

There was some laughter from the officials and journalists gathered in the room. “You believe in surprise, I think, much more so than us,” he added.

As Mr. Trump spoke, Ms. Takaichi widened her eyes and appeared to take a deep breath. She kept her arms crossed in her lap and did not speak.

The remark was the latest example of Mr. Trump’s penchant for tossing aside diplomatic norms.

After the end of World War II, President Harry S. Truman used the attack on Pearl Harbor to justify American efforts to remake Japanese society and to impose a pacifist constitution. (The United States led the Allies’ occupation of Japan from 1945 until 1952.) The constitution forced Japan to renounce war and put limits on its military, making Tokyo reliant on the United States for protection.

But during the Cold War, the United States shifted its official portrayal of the attack, describing it as a historical tragedy rather than pointing fingers at Japan. American officials were eager to keep Tokyo as an ally as communism spread in Asia, and to form security and economic pacts.

In 2016, 75 years after Imperial Japanese warplanes destroyed the Pacific fleet in Pearl Harbor, President Barack Obama [visited]('https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/27/us/politics/pearl-harbor-abe-obama-visit.html') the site of the attack with Shinzo Abe, then Japan’s prime minister, who offered condolences “to the souls of those who lost their lives here.” Mr. Obama and Mr. Abe laid wreaths made of white peace lilies at the memorial.

Mr. Obama described in detail what occurred on the day of the attack, highlighted acts of heroism by American service members and said that the visit of Mr. Abe “reminds us of what is possible between nations and between peoples.”

Mr. Trump’s predecessors have avoided speaking at length about Pearl Harbor in the presence of Japanese leaders because “there’s been a really profound process of reconciliation between the United States and Japan,” said Mireya Solís, director of the Center for Asia Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution in Washington.

Mr. Trump’s remarks were “unusual — a shock,” she said. “The purpose of this visit is to emphasize the shared vision — the strong bonds that unite Japan and the United States,” she said. “Not the divisive past and the bitter rivalry and conflict of the war.”

A trio of progressive [Democrats]('https://www.google.com/search?q=fox+news+democrats') backed by members of "The Squad" suffered blistering rebukes on Tuesday as Illinois voters rejected them in favor of more moderate candidates, prompting questions from onlookers about whether the party’s core, and momentum, should be entrusted to the far-left wing of its base.
