It's Halloween weekend, and nothing is scarier than the possibility of a socialist gaining power over America's biggest city. On Tuesday, millions of New Yorkers will have the opportunity to choose the future they want for the Big Apple. Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and Independent Andrew Cuomo are all running to be New York's next mayor. If the polls are even close to accurate, Mamdani, a candidate who has made promises to freeze rent and introduce government-run grocery stores, will be the next mayor of New York City. In addition to the Big Apple, voters in Virginia and New Jersey are choosing their next governors on Tuesday. Jessica Furst Johnson, a partner and co-chair of the political law practice at Lex Politica, joins “Problematic Women” this week to break down each election and assess who ran the best campaign. Also on today's show, President Donald Trump has just returned from Asia, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. We explain the big takeaways from the trip and what the future could hold for U.S.-China relations. Plus, Americans have just celebrated Halloween. But is it “OK” to celebrate the holiday as a Christian? All the “Problematic Women” weigh in.

It only took about 24 hours after Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attack on Israel for cries of “free Palestine” to fill city streets as protesters waved the Palestinian flag. However, following the ceasefire and hostage deal which the Trump administration led the way in negotiating, those same protesters are noticeably quiet. The absence of great celebration on the part of the “free Palestine” protesters confirms what many already knew - the pro-Palestine movement has always been more deeply rooted in a hatred of Israel than a love for the people of Gaza. Now more than ever, the “Free Palestine” chanters should be taking to the streets to demand Hamas be completely eliminated as the terrorist group carries out public executions of local citizens in Gaza following the partial withdrawal of the Israeli military. On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the historic nature of the deal that ended the fighting between Israel and Hamas, and celebrate the return of all the living hostages. Also on today's show, Erika Kirk was at the White House this week to receive the Medal of Freedom on behalf of her husband Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September. We also break down a Young Republicans group chat leak, and the Left's hypocritical reaction.

California's Prop 50 could completely erase Republican representation in elections. The measure would hand Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration the power to redraw California's congressional districts.
