Socialism isn’t just a dorm-room debate anymore. It’s on ballots, it’s winning elections, and it’s shaping how a whole generation of young Americans thinks about work, ownership and success.

On this episode of Rose Unplugged, Rose takes it on directly, and she makes the case that capitalism isn’t mainly an economic theory. It’s a moral one.

It rests on the idea that you own yourself, your labor and what your labor produces, and that no king, bureaucrat or committee gets to decide what you’re allowed to build, sell or earn.

Rose is joined by Dr. Charles N. Steele, Director of the Center for Commerce and Freedom and Associate Professor of Economics at Hillsdale College, and author of the upcoming book Understanding Capitalism.

Dr. Steele explains why prices carry information no government planner can match, and why competition holds businesses accountable in a way a government monopoly never will.

He covers the lessons of Thomas Sowell’s journey from Marxist to free-market champion, and he looks at how the Reagan years turned 13% inflation into millions of new jobs. He also explains why Hillsdale believes you can’t honestly teach commerce without teaching freedom alongside it.

The conversation goes back long before any economist. It starts with Jesus’ Parable of the Talents, a lesson in stewardship, initiative and the moral weight of what we do with what God has given us.

It ends with Moses’ warning in Deuteronomy 8 never to forget who gives us the power to make wealth in the first place. Ronald Reagan said freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Every generation gets one shot at holding onto the freedom it inherited, and this one is ours.

President Trump on Sunday evening issued a warning to Democrats amid threats of lawfare.

Trump took questions from the tarmac in Palm Beach, Florida, as he prepared to travel back to the White House Sunday evening.

A reporter asked President Trump about the Democrats’ threats to go after GOP donors.

Democrat Senator Richard ‘Da Nang Dick’ Blumenthal sent a letter to White House ballroom donors and sought records about their donations.

Blumenthal threatened the donors with imprisonment if they don’t comply with subpoenas.

Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin threatened to go after “all young people that believe in Republican Values.”

Over the weekend, President Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate the “extortionist” Democrats for threatening his allies with lawfare.

Trump issued a warning to Democrat donors on Sunday night before walking away.

“They say they’ll investigate your donors,” a reporter said to President Trump.

“Then we’ll investigate their donors!” Trump said.

“Because their donors did bad things!” Trump added before walking away.

A coalition of anti-Trump Republicans and Libertarian Party operatives is plotting to recruit outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie for a third-party presidential campaign in 2028.

The effort is reportedly part of an effort to siphon votes away from the eventual Republican nominee.

According to Axios, the group has spent months encouraging Massie to seek the Libertarian Party’s nomination.

Massie, a notorious RINO known for siding with Democrats, lost his Republican primary earlier this year to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein following a bitter campaign.

Following the midterm elections, Massie has said one of his final acts in Congress will be to secure the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“There is one contingency in which I won’t reintroduce the articles of impeachment: Hegseth resigns.”

However, his supporters believe he could attract Republicans opposed to the war in Iran and continued support for Israel, including the likes of Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Among the organizers is Michael Heise, founder of the Libertarian Party’s Mises Caucus, which took control of the party in 2022.

The Mises PAC is helping finance the effort to draft Massie. The organization raised approximately $394,000 during the 2024 election cycle.

Libertarian activist Larry Sharpe said he had spoken with Massie several times about a potential presidential campaign.

“Libertarian Jesus is Ron Paul, and one of our saints is Thomas Massie,” Sharpe said.

Organizers are also attempting to rebrand the Libertarian Party around an anti-war interpretation of the “America First.”

Among those supporting the effort is the podcaster Bret Weinstein. 

“The idea is if one can take 5, 10, 15% of the vote from one of these parties, then that party has to listen and cave to interest of the people,” he said.

The organizers hope to secure at least five percent of the national vote, which could qualify the Libertarian Party for federal campaign funding in subsequent elections.

Massie has yet to publicly comment on the reports.

Deputy White House Chief of Staff Richard Walters resigned late Friday night.

Richard Walter is a longtime ally of Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

Susie Wiles was fired from her role as White House Chief of Staff last week.

President Trump announced that Stephen Miller will replace Wiles as White House Chief of Staff.

“I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job! President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said on Truth Social.

President Trump told reporters that he wanted a change.

“Sometimes you gotta make moves,” Trump said.

Fox News reported:

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters, a longtime ally of outgoing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, is leaving the Trump administration following President Donald Trump’s decision to replace Wiles with Stephen Miller.

Miller confirmed Walters’ departure in a statement to Fox News, describing him as an “invaluable member” of the White House who will continue to assist the administration from the outside.

“Richard has been an invaluable member of the White House and has helped deliver some of the Administration’s biggest victories. While he will be leaving us, Richard will continue to help from the outside as we continue to work with all of our strength to deliver for President Trump and his courageous fight to Save America,” Miller said.

The move ends Walters’ months-long tenure in the role, which he was appointed to in May 2026, according to LegiStorm. Walters previously served as executive director of the inaugural committee for Trump and Vice President JD Vance, according to Georgetown University, where he was a fellow at the Institute of Politics and Public Service.

In the latest story of university radicalism and leftist propaganda Campus Reform is reporting “Columbia University’s Center for the Study of Social Difference is set to host a Nov. 18 reading discussion examining accusations of American genocide, colonialism, and racial oppression during the nation’s 250th anniversary.”

The event which is set to take place is titled “We Charge Genocide at 75” will feture a litiny of complaints against The United States based on the writings of Malcom X and others.

“The university’s listing describes the discussion as part of its “Counter-narratives at 250” series, which challenges traditional celebrations of American independence.”

“Organizers say the series seeks to challenge America’s history as a “settler-colonial state” and examine experiences of marginalized communities.”

The Nov. 18 discussion will focus on the unfounded accusations of genocide against America accusing The USA of committing genocide against Black people.

This radical and divisive program will also focus on Malcolm X and his organization known as “Afro-American Unity”.

As if America needed more racial division  and the politics of division this is what this event seems to be focused on.

“Organizers plan to discuss the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn, also called the Battle of Greasy Grass, when Native American forces defeated U.S. troops under Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer.”

“The event description references Malcolm X’s call to withdraw from what it characterizes as an “Imperial settler colonial project.”

Among the readings they will be focused on are “William L. Patterson’s We Charge Genocide, Malcolm X’s The Last Speeches, and Nick Estes’ Our History Is the Future”.

Previous events included an October discussion called Open Veins Of Latin America at 55 made the outrageous statement that The United States is a “decaying empire”.

These courses events and statements sound like things foreign dictators say about America not something our own schools should be promoting.

This outrageous event is anti American in nature and shows why Columbia and other schools continue to have a leftist reputation.

These are explicitly anti American events which show how far removed academia remains from mainstream America ideologically.

President Trump on Sunday night said he was kidding about offering Dana White the job of White House Press Secretary.

President Trump on Saturday announced that he offered UFC president Dana White the job of White House Press Secretary.

The White House has been without an official press secretary since October 19, when Katie Zacharia transitioned out of the role.

Karoline Leavitt departed her role as White House Press Secretary at the end of August.

“I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States,” Trump said.

“I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris,” Trump said.

“We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job! President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said on Truth Social.

Dana White said he will meet with President Trump in the Oval Office on Monday.

Trump told reporters on Sunday that was just kidding about Dana White.

“That was an example of something where I was kidding. And then people said, ‘you know, that’s actually a pretty good idea!’”

“But I think Dana likes the idea. And he is a very capable guy, so he’s actually coming tomorrow,” Trump said.
