Some critics have called him \u201cde Blasio 2.0\u201d for what they saw as a heavy-handed response to New York\u2019s surge in COVID cases, which appear to be caused by the less fatal Omicron. However, Adams also signaled he wants to keep the city open as much as possible, saying Monday morning, \u201cthe city has to operate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crime<\/p>\n<p>Adams is a former NYPD captain and has promised to restore law and order in a city where crime skyrocketed this year. He ran against other challengers who vowed to defund or \u2018reimagine\u2019 the police and has vowed to revive a controversial anti-crime unit.<\/p>\n<p>This week, Adams visited an NYPD officer who was shot in the head and met with families of crime victims. On his first day in office, he called 911 to report a subway fight while on his way to work. On Sunday, Adams said New York\u2019s police officers will be \u201cresponsible\u201d but also sent a harsh warning to criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Going Forward<\/p>\n<p>Adams may have a better relationship with the new governor of New York, Kathy Hochul (D), than de Blasio had with former governor Andrew Cuomo (D). Adams and Hochul have both signaled they want to avoid tension. Hochul said recently that the \u201cera of fighting\u201d between New York\u2019s governor and mayor is over.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-325055\" class=\"size-full wp-image-325055\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Image-taken-by-Mayte-Torres-via-Getty-Images.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Image-taken-by-Mayte-Torres-via-Getty-Images.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Image-taken-by-Mayte-Torres-via-Getty-Images-300x200.jpg 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-325055\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image taken by Mayte Torres via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) <\/strong>U.S. Population Growth Reaches Record Low<\/p>\n<p>The Topline: According to new data from the Census Bureau, 2021 marked the slowest rate of population growth in the history of America.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Numbers<\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. Census Bureau\u2019s newest population report, the U.S. only grew by 0.1 percent in 2021. The data showed that the rate of \u201cnatural increase,\u201d which is the number of babies born compared to overall deaths, was 148,043. Divided by 50 states, the number is fewer than 3,000 people per state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Potential Reasons<\/p>\n<p>COVID was a factor in the low growth. Throughout 2021, the immigration process was largely put on hold during the lockdowns, which resulted in fewer legal immigrants than at any point in the past two decades. There were also hundreds of thousands of COVID deaths which further contributed to the disparity.<\/p>\n<p>However, population growth was already slowing before COVID existed. According to experts, there were two main reasons for the dip: the marriage habits of millennials and lower fertility rates. Economic factors such as student loans and increased home prices, along with shifting cultural norms, resulted in young people waiting longer than ever before to get married, and therefore, waiting to have kids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The average first-time mother in the U.S. is now 28 years old, up from 21 years old a few decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a massive decrease in male fertility. Numerous studies have shown a 50% drop in sperm count for American men over the last few decades. One in eight American couples now say they\u2019ve struggled with fertility problems.<\/p>\n<p>Around The World<\/p>\n<p>Birth rates are also plummeting in Europe and much of Asia. Spain, Italy, and Japan all saw negative growth in 2021, while every country in western Europe was under 1% growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>China, which for decades had a one-child policy to keep population growth low, is now reversing course, and begging people to have kids, offering extra fertility services and closing abortion clinics nationwide. The only areas with noticeable population growth were in Africa, the Middle East, and parts of South America.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Political Point: There has been bipartisan support for measures encouraging population growth, such as increased child tax credits, but most political leaders haven\u2019t addressed the problem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-325056\" class=\"size-full wp-image-325056\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Josh-HedgesZuffa-LLCZuffa-LLC-via-Getty-Images.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Josh-HedgesZuffa-LLCZuffa-LLC-via-Getty-Images.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Josh-HedgesZuffa-LLCZuffa-LLC-via-Getty-Images-300x169.jpeg 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-325056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Josh Hedges\/Zuffa LLC\/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Joe Rogan Joins Gettr<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Topline: Both Twitter and YouTube removed interviews between popular podcaster Joe Rogan and two medical experts, prompting Rogan to join the new social media site Gettr.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MichaelPSenger\/status\/1477755429547483136?s=20\">Quote Of The Day:<\/a> \u201cOur government is out of control on this, and they are lawless.
