Rich Dad Radio Show: In-Your-Face Advice on Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting a Business

​​Our economic system is "Creditism." The economy has become addicted to credit growth, and only government borrowing can make it continue to grow. The private sector just doesn't have enough income to keep credit growing. Today's guest says if credit doesn't grow by at least 2% each year, the country goes into a recession. Richard Duncan is the author of the new book "The Money Revolution: How to Finance the Next American Century" and he says, "In 2008, when the bubble did blow up, I expected it to blow up, but I expected a depression. But what we saw instead was the U.S. government borrowed trillions of dollars, and pumped it into the economy, and the Fed created 3.6 trillion dollars during the first 3 rounds of QE and bought those government bonds, financing the government debt. If the Fed had not bought the government bonds, created all that money, the government couldn't have borrowed so much money without pushing interest rates to an extremely high level. All that government borrowing would have pushed interest rates up and the high-interest rates would have crushed the economy. This combination of trillions of dollars of government borrowing and spending, and money printing to finance the government spending, they re-inflated the bubble. It's been an exact replay of that in 2020 and 2021." Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Richard Duncan discuss how the Fed is shifting to "Quantitative Tightening," and the solution to solve this economic crisis.

On September 17, 2019, the repo market crashed overnight, and almost two years ago in February 2020, the world became aware of the spread of COVID-19. Today's guest says that he knew that from the beginning that something wasn't adding up and that's when he began his quest to find answers. Chris Martenson is an economic researcher and futurist specializing in energy and resource depletion, and co-founder of PeakProsperity.com says, "The repo market was blowing up and COVID was the best thing that could have happened to a Federal Reserve that needed a reason to print trillions." Host Robert Kiyosaki and guest Chris Martenson discuss Chris' research into the COVID-19 pandemic, and how answers can be found if we "follow the money."

Robert Kiyosaki has been warning for months that the U.S. will experience one of the biggest crashes in history. Today's guest warns that all of the money printing during COVID has created too much money and now we're "dealing with the consequences and it's just getting started." Peter Schiff, is the Chief Economist & Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Capital a Registered Investment Adviser, and a full-service broker/dealer. He says, "The Fed has been operating its monetary policy while looking in the rearview mirror, and they are ignoring the road ahead." Schiff predicts, "They're going to raise rates enough to crush the economy, but not enough to slow inflation." Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Peter Schiff discuss how the government created the biggest economic problem and what you can do about it.

Robert Kiyosaki's rich dad would often tell him that learning how to sell is the most important characteristic of an entrepreneur. Today's guest explains what it takes to become a top negotiator to improve your ability to sell. Chris Voss, CEO & Founder of The Black Swan Group and author of "Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as if your life depends on it" says, "A tiny shift from yes to no is monstrous." This one shift is the most difficult shift to make because we've been hardwired to go for the answer yes. Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Chris Voss discuss his background, what mindset shift is required to be successful, and how to become a top negotiator.

Consumers across the U.S. are feeling the effects of inflation through home prices, gas prices, and meat prices which have all been rising in recent months. There are several answers as to what all of this means for consumers this year, but two lingering questions are: what will the Fed do? And will we experience the inflation of the 1970s? Today's guest gives his opinion on where the U.S. is headed in 2022. Macro-economic expert, and the best-selling author of "The New Great Depression," Jim Rickards, says, "I would look for disinflation, not inflation, from 6-7% annualized down to 4%," due to incoming rate hikes expected from the Federal Reserve. Additionally, Rickards explains Inflation vs. Disinflation His prediction for $15,000 gold Real thoughts on the Fed Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Jim Rickards discuss the real threats to the economy in 2022 and how you can be prepared.

Today's guest explains what happens when the Fed "takes away the crutches." Gerald Celente, the Founder/Director of the Trends Research Institute and publisher of the weekly Trends Journal magazine says, "When interest rates go up, the cheap money flow stops, the economy is going to go down, and the equity markets are going to crash."

Retirement fund giant, CALPERS, voted in early November to use borrowed money and alternative assets to meet its investment-return target, even after lowering that target just a few months ago. Today's guests discuss what this means for retirees depending on their pension for their financial future. New York Times reported, "The move by the $495 billion California Public Employees' Retirement System reflects the dimming prospects for safe publicly traded investments by households and institutions alike and sets a tone for increased risk-taking by pension funds around the country." Ted Siedle, the co-author of Who Stole My Pension says, "These state and local pensions are refusing to give participants in the fund and taxpayers a prospectus on the fund. The money is all secret." John MacGregor, Author of the book The Top 10 Reasons the Rich Go Broke and a Certified Financial Planner says, "With this shortfall, we've got 10,000 people hitting retirement every single day, these states are heading for a pension crisis." Host Robert Kiyosaki and guests Ted Siedle and John MacGregor discuss the number one problem facing retirees today, and what you can do about it.

On September 29, 1959, Nikita Khrushchev said, "Your children's children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands." George Gammon takes over the host seat in this special episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show to interview Robert Kiyosaki about how he sees the United States slipping into Communism. Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, says, "Marx's complaint is that capitalism will turn the bottom half into poverty, how capitalism will screw employees and those in the S-quadrant via taxes." George Gammon, the host of the Rebel Capitalist podcast says, "Our economy is completely dependent on the asset prices that are in the 401k, so if the 401k crashes as a result of assets, that means the entire economy crashes and that goes back to what Marx was saying." Listen as George Gammon and Robert Kiyosaki swap seats to discuss the release of Robert's latest book, Capitalist Manifesto, and how many of Marx's "predictions" in Communist Manifesto are coming true.

The Constitution originally intended to protect liberty, has become the tool by which the government increases its powers and limits freedoms. Today's guest says, "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people he doesn't exist; The greatest trick the system ever pulled was convincing people you cannot resist." Robert Barnes is a constitutional, civil rights, and criminal tax lawyer who says, "It's critical that more lawyers step up." Today, Barnes continues to stand up to systems, to bullies, to Big Banks, to the IRS, and to those who would take away those guaranteed freedoms his grandfathers helped establish: free speech and civil rights. In this interview, Barnes discusses: The constitutionality of vaccine mandates Fighting for freedom of speech What it takes to fight the Fed Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Robert Barnes discuss the biggest threats to our Constitution, and what you can do to preserve your personal freedoms.
