New York City is reimplementing some tough-on-crime policies while surging police officers into the city’s subway system amid a spike in crime. Democratic Mayor Eric Adams announced the revamped approach to crime during a press briefing on Tuesday. Adams’ efforts are supported by New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul‚ who committed state resources to the crackdown. “We are going to continuously make sure we show a visible presence to deal with how people are feeling in our subway system right now‚” Adams said‚ according to NBC New York. “When I ride‚ people say‚ ‘Eric‚ nothing makes me feel safer than seeing that officer walking through the system‚ walking trains.’” The city intends to increase police presence in the subway system train as they work 12-hour shifts. Adams said the change could be a significant deterrent to would-be criminals. The state is supporting the surge with 1‚000 additional officers composed of 750 national guardsmen and 250 state police‚ according to the New York Post. “These brazen heinous attacks on our subway system will not be tolerated‚” Hochul said on Wednesday. The crackdown on crime in New York City comes after a spate of violence in the city’s subway‚ including three New Yorkers fatally shot on the subway this year. Part of the plan to curb criminals plaguing the city is to reimplement stop-and-search of riders’ bags at train stations‚ a move reminiscent of the stop-and-frisk policy that ended under Adams’ predecessor‚ former Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio. Stop-and-frisk ended after de Blasio‚ who ran for mayor on reforming the practice‚ sought a resolution to a years-long court battle over the policy‚ deemed unconstitutional by a federal judge.  Adams has expressed support in the past for aspects of stop-and-frisk. On Tuesday‚ Adams said police would search bags at train platforms to check for weapons and potential weapons‚ such as knives‚ box cutters‚ and firearms. “We are reinstituting bag checks. There are several things we are reinstituting in the system‚” Adams said‚ according to CBS News. The city is also looking at getting machine detectors‚ similar to those used at airports‚ to scan riders. “We’re definitely on the pathway of coming up with some new technology that’s going to help us identify weapons‚ as well as guns. My big thing is guns‚” Adams said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Hochul’s office expressed support for Adams’ new public safety plan on Tuesday. “Governor Hochul has made historic commitments to make our subways safer‚ from security cameras to mental health personnel‚ and tomorrow she will unveil new legislation to protect riders‚ new State personnel to assist NYPD with bag checks‚ and other new measures to keep New Yorkers safe‚” a representative from Hochul’s office said‚ according to NBC.

Rep. Dean Phillips‚ the Democrat from Minnesota who challenged President Joe Biden in the party’s 2024 primary‚ ended his longshot attempt to win the nomination and endorsed Biden on Wednesday. Phillips‚ 55‚ jumped into the race last October‚ arguing that 81-year-old Biden is a vulnerable incumbent candidate because of his age and saying it’s time for the party’s leader to “pass the torch.” Following dismal performances in Democratic primaries across the country‚ including a third-place finish behind Biden and “uncommitted” in his home state on Super Tuesday‚ Phillips announced he would suspend his campaign and get behind the president. “I’m going to suspend my campaign and I will be‚ right now‚ endorsing President Biden because the choices are so clear‚” Phillips said during an interview on a Minnesota radio show‚ according to NBC News. In the Minnesota Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday‚ Biden won 70% of the vote‚ while “uncommitted” came in second place with nearly 20%‚ and Phillips finished in third with just 7.8%. “Congratulations to Joe Biden‚ Uncommitted‚ Marianne Williamson‚ and Nikki Haley for demonstrating more appeal to Democratic Party loyalists than me‚” Phillips posted on Tuesday night. When he launched his campaign‚ the Democratic congressman warned about his party’s impending “emergency” in November if Biden remained the Democratic nominee. “I will not sit still‚ I will not be quiet in the face of numbers that are so clearly saying we’re going to be facing an emergency next November‚” Phillips told CBS News. He later added in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “if this election was held today‚ President Biden would lose‚ and it is an existential threat to the future of the United States of America.” When he announced his presidential campaign‚ Phillips admitted that the middle class was struggling under Biden’s watch. “We have to make life more affordable for the middle class‚ which is the issue that voters care about most. We need to bring down the cost of living and make life affordable again‚” he said. “As part of making life more affordable‚ we have to celebrate success. America should be the most prosperous country in the world‚ and we need to be both pro-business and pro-worker to get there.” In a post on X on Wednesday‚ Phillips praised Biden’s “empathy and kindness” — sharing a photo of the then-vice president sitting next to Phillips’ two young daughters — and said that Democrats must “resist Donald Trump again.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I ran for Congress in 2018 to resist Donald Trump‚ I was trapped in the Capitol in 2021 because of Donald Trump‚ and I ran for President in 2024 to resist Donald Trump again – because Americans were demanding an alternative‚ and democracy demands options‚” the congressman wrote. “But it is clear that alternative is not me. And it is clear that Joe Biden is OUR candidate and OUR opportunity to demonstrate what type of country America is and intends to be.” In 2011‚ I hosted then VP Biden at my home. Most notable was his empathy and kindness to my daughters and the catering staff‚ with whom he sat and had ice cream (surprise-surprise). His decency and wisdom were rarities in politics then‚ and even more so today. Over a decade… pic.twitter.com/e3mGNU7u2C — Dean Phillips (@deanbphillips) March 6‚ 2024

The following is a transcript excerpt from Dr. Jordan Peterson’s conversation with Andrew Klavan on how coming to know God over time develops an experiential relationship and why the journey toward the self you were made to be is a joyful journey. You can listen to or watch the full podcast episode on DailyWire+. Start time: 1:28:08 Andrew Klavan: This is one of the problems I’ve always had with the postmodernists: They talk about the meaninglessness of language‚ but I understand what they’re saying. And so obviously — except with Derrida‚ who had the integrity to write absolute gibberish — they actually are disproving their own point. And they talk about‚ basically‚ the fact that we can’t know anything‚ but we can. We can know if I go north‚ I get to Canada; if I go south‚ I get to Mexico. Jordan B. Peterson: Right. We cannot know anything purely by words. Andrew Klavan: Yes‚ that’s right. And so I really did have some kind of trust in myself. I simply could not break through my milieu‚ which was so default at least agnostic and really atheistic. The other thing about this‚ too‚ by the way‚ is being a bit of a tough guy‚ I thought that‚ in my misery when I cracked up‚ to embrace God‚ even though it was logical‚ was a crutch. How would I know whether I had embraced him in reality or just because I wanted to get out of this incredible pain I was in? And so I couldn’t do it. When‚ years later‚ I was now a very happy person‚ my career took off‚ everything started to go right‚ I still had that logic and something else was true as well‚ which was that I had been a real Freudian. I had grown up in that real core Freudian world where all the art stank because everybody’s trying to prove your mother was to blame for everything and all that. And I didn’t come to feel that what Freud said was utter nonsense; I came to feel that the details of what he said were utter nonsense‚ that the structure of the relationship between a therapist or a mentor and a client or a son or a friend or whatever‚ I thought he got a lot of that quite right — the idea of transference and all this — which made me feel that all of the insights I had had in therapy that I thought were salvific had not been.  What had been salvific was the loving relationship I had had with this older man who had taken the place of a father who had not been very helpful and it was actually the love that had saved me‚ and I began to believe in psychology. Jordan B. Peterson: Well‚ that is that relationship again. WATCH: The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast on DailyWire+ Andrew Klavan: Yes. And it made me feel that psychology is a story‚ that stories give us the ability to take the ineffable and move it around a little bit. And so you split up things that are actually unified into pieces that you can move. And that brought me back to God. And ultimately‚ it comes back to fiction again and how much I love fiction. I was reading. I don’t know if you’ve ever read the Patrick O’Brien novels? They’re just wonderful seafaring adventure stories about the Napoleonic wars. They’re absolutely brilliant. Jordan B. Peterson: No‚ no. I do not know of them. Andrew Klavan: In them‚ there’s a very intellectual character named Maturin who’s an ugly little man but very brilliant and kind of a spy. I kind of admired him and identified with him a little bit. He’s a Catholic‚ and there’s a scene where he was falling asleep‚ and the line is: He said a prayer and went to sleep. And I was reading in bed and I thought‚ well‚ if Maturin can say a prayer before he goes to sleep‚ so can I. And I just thanked God for the journey I had come out of — this horrible darkness that I thought was the end. I thought I was going to kill myself. Instead‚ I had come out‚ and here I was now. I had two children. My career was great. I was so happy to be with my beloved wife. I was living in a wonderful place. And I thanked God‚ and it changed my life. I woke up the next morning‚ and everything was brighter. Everything was clearer — the details of life. I christened it the joy of my joy. Jordan B. Peterson: That is the definition of gratitude. Andrew Klavan: Yes. Jordan B. Peterson: So you pointed to three things there that we should take apart. Maybe we can close with this. The first is‚ one of the primary Freudian accusations — and Marx did this too — was that religion was just a shield against death-anxiety or a sop for the victimized poor. That would be Marx. But Freud was a little bit more trenchant‚ saying it is a shield of meaning the weak use to protect themselves against the ultimate reality of pointless death. People like Ernest Becker made much of that in his “Denial of Death‚” which is actually really a great book‚ even though it is fundamentally wrong. It is a great book. But there is something really unwise about that perspective. So here are three arguments against that from someone who really admires Freud‚ by the way. First of all‚ if that was the case‚ why bother with hell? Because medieval people were as scared as hell of hell as modern people are of death. The evidence for that is clear. And you might say‚ “Well‚ hell was just a convenient place to put your enemies.” But that is not a good analysis. So‚ if it is just a death-anxiety shield‚ then why decorate it with this terrible moral obligation and the reality of hell? So that is a big problem for that theory. Then you have two other problems‚ which is that you are supposed to hoist your cross as a Christian believer‚ and there literally is not anything worse than that by definition because it means you have to stand up to the mob‚ even if they are your brothers; that you have to forsake your family in pursuit of ethical truths; that you have to suffer torment — physical and metaphysical; and that you have to face the reality of hell itself. So‚ sorry‚ that is not a defense against death-anxiety‚ not least because I think you can make a very powerful case that confronting malevolence is worse than confronting death. Andrew Klavan: Yes. Jordan B. Peterson: We know this because people are rarely traumatized by a brush with death‚ and they are routinely traumatized by a brush with malevolence. So even on those grounds‚ you can see that the reality of evil is more trenchant and salient than the reality of death. So that Freudian argument? It is just not right. He got that wrong. Andrew Klavan: This is where Freud indulges in quackery a little bit. He’s interviewing‚ you know‚ 20 hysterical Victorian Viennese‚ and he decides that God is a projection of the father. And he says it very definitively‚ and you think: Hey‚ you’re welcome to your opinion. But really‚ what you’re talking about to me is like saying that you believe in bread to forestall the fear of hunger. You know‚ C.S. Lewis points out that we don’t have any desires that don’t have an answer. All our desires have an answer‚ in fact‚ in the world; everything that we hunger for is actually there. And this is one of my problems with the evolutionary biologists who think that they can trace the creation of morality. My point about that is it’s like saying that because I have eyes‚ that I’ve invented light‚ you know. I’ve invented the human experience of light‚ perhaps‚ but not light itself. And it’s the same thing with the moral sense that we have. You can say it’s a result of evolution. That’s fine. But it’s a result of evolution like the eye in relationship to something that exists‚ which is the moral order. And I think that these arguments really do fall apart once you begin to have a realistic view of God and not the sort of happy‚ you know‚ yellow face with a smile on it. I have to tell you that weeks after my baptism‚ my wife‚ who now knows me to my footsoles turned to me and said‚ you are such a different person; you are just filled with joy and relaxation. Knowing God has been joy on joy for me. I have to tell you. This is one of the least quoted lines in the Gospel‚ but Jesus said‚ I’m telling you things so that my joy will be in you and your joy will be complete. Somehow religion manages to turn this into this tormented struggle with your sexual desires or whatever. But no‚ I actually do think this journey toward the self that you were made to be is a very joyful journey. And every time you take a step on it. And by “joy‚” I don’t mean happiness. I don’t mean‚ again‚ that smiley face. I mean a vitality of life. The only evidence for love is over time. Experience over time is the evidence for love. I think that’s true of God‚ too‚ ultimately. There’s no proof of God. There’s only experience over time as you get to know him‚ and it develops in your life — and I highly recommend that. That’s all I can say. * * * To continue‚ listen or watch more content with Dr. Jordan Peterson on DailyWire+.  Dr. Jordan B.

There seems to already be a clear front-runner for The Masked Singer‚ even though we’re still hours away from the Season premiere. The hit FOX competition airs tonight (March 6)‚ and fans love the singer who is masked as a goldfish. One of her performances dropped on YouTube on Monday‚ and people can’t stop talking about how flawless it was. The goldfish took the stage in her glittering orange and pink evening gown and sang Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who realized her romance was built on the lies of a heartless man who was using her and “sucking her dry” until she finally caught on to his charade. The audience was drawn into the show the second she sang her first note‚ and the judges were on their feet gasping in disbelief. “The Masked Singer” Fans Think They Know Who The Goldfish’s Identity The Masked Singer performed the song with charm and personality that has people guessing she’s either a Broadway Singer‚ a cinematic musical singer‚ or both. As of now‚ fans on social media are naming two specific people who could be behind the goldfish. YouTube The second most named person is Kristin Chenoweth. The 55-year-old Tony and Emmy winner has sang on stage and film for decades. But the most common guess is Vanessa Hudgens‚ who is famous for High School Musical. “So excited to watch this!” someone raved under the YouTube video. “I know I’ve heard that voice before…which isn’t really helping because I’ve heard both Kristen Chenoweth and Vanessa Hudgens before. But I’m leaning more toward Kristen because that didn’t really sound like Vanessa in the beginning.” “Definitely Vanessa Hudgens. Her tone sounds different? But her vocal inflections and vowels gave it away‚” another guessed. YouTube “It definitely sounds like Vanessa Hudgens trying to disguise her voice‚” another certain fan wrote. A few of the other notable guesses included Idina Menzel and Renée Zellweger. You can follow the Goldfish and take your best guess by watching The Masked Singer every Wednesday on Fox at 8 PM CT.
