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.

For the past half decade or more, conservative intellectuals have tried to answer the question: Where did woke come from?
Some believe it is rebranded cultural Marxism. Others say it came from academia with the postmodern rejection of objective truth ultimately leading to the weaponization of culture. Maybe it came from the global corporations because woke is the ideology of the new managerial elite in late-stage neo-liberalism.
But perhaps “woke” and its offspring like “cancel culture” came from something called “The Great Feminization.”
Helen Andrews, author of “Boomers: The Men and Women Who Promised Freedom and Delivered Disaster,” recently wrote an essay called “The Great Feminization,” a term borrowed from the pseudonymous online writer J Stone, that explains how “woke” is “an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.” She joins “The Signal Sitdown” this week to discuss.
“We had a big fight called feminism in the 1970s over whether or not we thought women could be lawyers. And we decided that they could, and that's great,” Andrews explained. “But it took a long time to go from token representation of the kind that was achieved in the heyday of second wave feminism to what we have now.”

America has seen this before—and it didn’t end well.
Liberal governors across the nation, from California to Illinois, are defying federal immigration law and challenging the very authority of the Constitution itself. Victor Davis Hanson sounds the alarm on a “neo-Confederate nullification movement” emerging among the Left with its approach to resisting the Trump administration’s deportation efforts on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words."
“This has a neo-Confederate pedigree. And we know where Bleeding Kansas led to. Once you nullify federal law and once you glorify violence—and by the way, the Left has glorified almost every major left-wing assassin, whether it was Mr. Hodgkinson that tried to take out the House leadership, or Tyler Robinson, who took out Charlie Kirk, or Luigi Mangione, who killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, or Mr. Crooks and Mr. Routh, who tried to kill Donald Trump on two occasions. When you have glorification of that type of violence and political assassination, we know where it's going to lead. It leads from Bleeding Kansas to Harpers Ferry to Fort Sumter. And they're playing with fire. And it's very dangerous for the republic. And it's time for the Left to stop.”

Autumn in Virginia and lawns are covered with two things, multicolored leaves and multicolored political yard signs. Young people go door knocking for candidates and even younger people go apple picking. The two worlds come together on the hills of southern Albemarle County behind a fence lined with American Flags at a winery with a familiar name, Trump.
10 years ago when his father announced that he was going to run for the Republican Party nomination he turned the reins of the Trump Empire over to his 31 year-old son and since then the family has been front page news and amongst the scrutiny they have quietly turned their winery into one that routinely wins awards across the winemaking industry and are considered one of the top destination inns in the country.
He has chronicled the whole thing in his new book “Under Siege” and we caught up with the First Son at the Cidery and talked about all of it.

Democrat Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner claims that he didn’t know he got a Nazi tattoo in 2007 while serving as a U.S. Marine, saying on “Pod Save America” that he was “very inebriated” and “chose a terrifying skull and crossbones off the wall because we were Marines and skulls and crossbones are a pretty standard military thing.”
“The Democrats are in a quandary. The old guard of Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, are very worried about this young group of more radical, Jacobin, younger people who want to shut down the government …
“The problem that these people have is they are not in the mainstream of American politics. And so, they have said things in their past before they were candidates—sometimes during—that are incompatible with the majority of Americans’ views on what denotes proper behavior and conduct of a politician or an official.
“For example, Mr. Platner in Maine …
“It was the exact replica, facsimile of the Totenkopf, death’s head, emblem of the 3rd SS-Waffen Division in World War II, a division that was made up of former, at least in its 1939-41 inception, former death camp guards and special Einsatzgruppen group killers of Jews,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Just hours after a donation from Eric Holder’s “National Democratic Redistricting Committee” had been deposited in the Democratic Party of Virginia’s campaign coffers they began to try a scheme so brazen it boggles the mind.
First, they want to remove a Constitutional amendment regarding how the Commonwealth’s representative districts are drawn, then they want to create a work around to circumvent the amendment process that has been in place as long as there’s been a Virginia.
We sit down with Ken Cuccinelli from the Election Transparency Initiative ta find out what’s really afoot here and how can it be stopped.

Who’s more of a “king”: Donald Trump, who ran for election three times, won the popular vote, the Electoral College, and all the swing states in 2024, or Joe Biden, who was appointed by Democratic Party elites in 2020 to be the nominee after losing the first three primaries and remained sequestered to his basement for the remainder of the campaign?
Monarchs conduct lawfare. For all his talk in 2016 about “locking her up,” President Donald Trump did not direct his administration to investigate Hillary Clinton, however, Trump “had 91 indictments filed by federal, local, and state prosecutors in cahoots,” points out Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
“Joe Biden, in 2020, had lost the first three caucuses or primaries. He was going nowhere. And then a group of insiders, politicos, donors, the media panicked because they knew that to nominate a Elizabeth Warren, a Pete Buttigieg, especially a Bernie Sanders, would destroy the Democratic ticket.
“So, they cooked up this idea that Joe Biden from Scranton—even though they knew he was already cognitively challenged—could be a veneer, a wax effigy. And then they did not allow him to campaign because we know what happens when he campaigns, as we saw in 2024.
“He sat in the basement under the pretext of COVID. He outsourced his campaign like a royal monarch to his underlings in the media. They got him elected. And then he, more or less, abdicated while on the job and let the hard Left, in this quid pro quo arrangement, run the country.”

President Donald Trump’s privately funded plan to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom has Democrats like Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren fuming about “luxury” while they’ve shut down the government.
Presidents have remodeled the White House for over a century—from Harry Truman’s gut renovation to Barack Obama’s basketball court—yet only Trump gets scorn. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the hypocrisy on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
“Do we really want to know what belittles the White House? I mean, we're just coming off the Biden administration, where cocaine was found in a carrel in the West Wing. … Do you remember when Barack Obama was president? He brought in a whole cadre of Muslim Brotherhood people that were tied to Hamas Islamic terrorism. He brought an entourage, in 2012, into the White House. I remember, 2016, he thought it would be neat to have his favorite rappers in the White House. Kendrick Lamar—“Pimp a Butterfly.” Remember those lyrics about killing the police in the White House? That rapper—‘kill po-po,’ as he said.
“We could go on with the embarrassing incidents. I won't mention what transpired between Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton right off the Oval Office in the presidential laboratory. But nonetheless, the ballroom was needed.

Why is Speaker of the Virginia House Don Scott trying to call a special session of the Virginia General Assembly? The story is that they are going to try and redistrict the Commonwealth’s 11 Congressional districts. Small problem, that Constitutional Amendment that was passed in 2020 establishing first a ‘bipartisan redistricting commission’ and in the event of that failing (which it did) turning redistricting over to the Virginia Supreme Court to name two special masters that would draw the districts.
Virginia Delegate Tom Garret sits down with us to tell us what the long and short term agenda appears to be.

Vice President JD Vance is “scarier in certain ways” than President Donald Trump, according to former White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
Vance is “young” and “ambitious,” Psaki said on the leftist political podcast “I've Had It,” adding that the vice president is “agile in the sense that he is a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him.”
Psaki also took a swipe at first lady Usha Vance, indicating she might not be happy in her marriage.
“I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife,” Psaki said. “Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here. We’ll save you.”
While in Israel with the first lady, Vance was asked about the comments and called them “disgraceful,” adding, “but of course, the second lady can speak for herself. I am very lucky to have a wonderful wife.”
Psaki’s comments on Vance are telling. The next presidential election is over three years away. It is no secret that Vance is thought to be a top contender for the Oval Office position, and so the talking heads on the left are already priming their base to despise him.
On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the left’s fear not only of Vance, but the broader policies of the Trump administration.
Also on today’s show, there is no end in sight to the government shutdown, but Trump is staying busy with construction of the White House ballroom well underway. And the New York City mayoral election is around the corner, with crime and housing prices taking center stage. All this and more on this week’s show!

While President Donald Trump did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize this year, he could be the odds on favorite to win the distinguished award in 2026 because of his work brokering peace deals or ceasefires in eight different conflicts this year.
Trump’s deal-making diplomacy comes as left-wing critics thought this level of success impossible because of Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s efforts to completely reform the State Department. The critics were wrong.
State Department Deputy Spokesman Tommy Pigott joins “The Signal Sitdown” to provide an inside look at the State Department overhaul and how Trump has managed to find pathways to peace all over the world.
The Biden administration’s poor prioritization of America and its interests was painfully on display inside the State Department that Trump and Rubio inherited.
Things were so bad, in fact, that Trump’s political appointees had a difficult time simply tracking down just how many people actually worked for the state department.
While many challenges remain, Pigott told The Daily Signal, “I think as Americans, we can be proud that we have a president who is a peacemaker.”

As the week closes out, the government shutdown has officially become the second-longest in American history, and Democrats have made it clear they don’t intend to vote to reopen it soon.
It’s clear why they’re holding the government hostage: Democrats keep backing losing causes—open borders, defunding police, pro-Palestine protests, and trans athletes in women’s sports—with no leader strong enough to steer them through. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down their strategy and what Republicans must do to end the shutdown on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
“ We had an election. You guys, whether Republicans or Democrats, lost, and now you're kind of poor losers and you're saying you're losing in chess so you wanna overthrow the board and say, 'I'm gonna shut it all down.'" And then public opinion starts to go against the people who shut down. I think we're at that point now where the Democrats are seeing a diminishing return on their investment of shutting the government down.”

"A new survey, released Wednesday by The Washington Post/Schar School, found Miyares and Jones in lockstep with roughly 46 percent support each among likely voters. The numbers mark a 5 percentage point drop for the Democratic candidate in comparison with a similar poll from last month," writes The Hill.
Virginia Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares takes a few minutes from the campaign trail to talk with The Daily Signal about the power an unethical attorney general could wield against political foes, what the upcoming appearance by President Barack Obama could do for the race, and more.

Remember what Pelosi said, "We won't know what's in the bill until we pass it." That's a hell of a way to run a nation.
They only have empathy if it advances their leftist ideals.
Charlie Kirk’s assassination exposed how Americans are so stupid they are unaware that Hitler did not call his followers "Nazis" nor "Fascists" (he called them "SOCIALISTS"). Hitler's flag meant "S for SOCIALIST" (a top discovery by Historian Dr. Rex Curry). Republicans repeat the linguistic lies of socialists. You won't hear any Republicans say "Hitler self-identified the same as Kirk’s assassin and the scum who applauded Kirk's killer: SOCIALIST" nor “Hitler did not call his comrades Nazis"
I'm all forgiving after their appropriate punishment.
I completely agree. Well said.
Typical Democrat response, "we need more money to solve crime." What you need are public executions and public floggings.
I saw the writing on the wall 18 years ago and left California. I was a native Californian and just couldn't recognize my state anymore.
The ICE Spotting app is assisting a crime before/after the act. That's interference with law enforcement. Arrest the designer and get an injunction to stop it.
I completely agree.
They should have tased the Senator.
The President needs to give Iran a set deadline of no more than a week and then either bomb the hell out of Iran or let the Israelis do it with our support. It's the only language that Iran understands.
I'm currently listening to Gibbons "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." Sadly, I can see many parallels. Our civil wars are at least political factionalism and not open combat.
A first step is to get rid of Civil Service Unions. An association that helps employees with issues is one thing but a union that negotiates for salaries and benefits against the public taxpayers is wrong.
Everything this gentleman said about California is why I left years ago.
The Belgians are LEFTIST cowards.
We shouldn't forget President Wilson's part in creating the bureaucracy
I absolutely love the independent media. Otherwise, we would never know what's going on in this country. And what is going on is a sin
Hello! If you want to exchange cryptocurrency for any currency, for example, for the Czech crown, then I recommend this service to you https://b2.cash/exchange/btc-czk/. The advantage is that the exchange is carried out only at its office. You can calculate the approximate fee in advance, discuss all the details with the manager, and then come to the office to make a deal. It's reliable, legal and safe.
This is the future that you and I have seen, and I am amazed at the stupidity of people who are trying their best to avoid it. Maybe some people are just not ready to accept something new because they are afraid of risks? Then how come some people started investing in crypto in the first place? I think that thanks to apps like SingularityDAO, investing can become easier for experts and beginners alike. In any case, it makes my life much easier. I advise to browse the website of this application or read articles and reviews on medium.
Yes, this is the future that has already arrived and is developing at an incredible rate.
