Latest / The Hannah Hammond Show / Robert Kiyosaki Passes The Cashflow Torch To The Next Generation
Transcript
- 0:00We're at Robert Kiyosaki's house.
- 0:14OK, We're going to do an unboxing.
- 0:20As President John Kennedy said, I was in high school when he was
- 0:24president, and he said ask not what your country can do for
- 0:29you. That's what you could do for
- 0:30your country. And he was so inspiring.
- 0:36My mom and dad quit their jobs and joined the Peace Corps.
- 0:41My sister became a nun and I joined the Marine Corps
- 0:45completely opposite places. Right.
- 0:48So I'm honored today to be with Hannah, one of the most powerful
- 0:53woman on planet Earth today, and the torch is being passed to a
- 0:59new generation of women, you know, who don't really need men.
- 1:07That's right. Yeah, there's no more.
- 1:10There used to be ATV show Leave It to Beaver or something.
- 1:14And the wife was, you know, she's always wiping her apron
- 1:17and all this stuff. That was the 50s and 60s.
- 1:21So this is the new generation of women and they're about to take
- 1:26over. So I'm very proud of you and
- 1:29this is the torch I'm passing. She is a natural born teacher
- 1:34and honored and honored and honored that she become a
- 1:38teacher. And it was there, kid.
- 1:41Thank you so much. It's so crazy that it all
- 1:44started with Robert's book when I was 13 years old and I
- 1:47literally have followed the cash flow principles my entire life
- 1:53and that's what took me from miserable and poor to happy and
- 1:58wealthy. This is the real gang here.
- 2:01It's a financial statement. And this is financial literacy
- 2:06and its purest form. And you're, you know, I, my rich
- 2:10dad taught me how to be an ambassador playing monopoly for
- 2:15greenhouses, 1031 tax deferred exchange, red hotel.
- 2:20Today I own red hotels. Today I still play Monopoly in
- 2:25real life. But this is the game my rich dad
- 2:28taught me. My poor dad didn't know this
- 2:30game. He's a school teacher.
- 2:33So, Hannah, congratulations. Thank you so much.
- 2:37I'll sign the game board over to you.
- 2:39Hannah, the torch has been passed to a new generation of
- 2:42powerful women. Love you, Robert.
- 2:48Thank you. So what do you think about
- 2:50accepting the torch? I love it.
- 2:52I'm so excited. It's my greatest honor of my
- 2:56entire life and I can't wait to teach the cash flow game for the
- 3:00rest of my life. I'm so excited.
- 3:03Thank you, Robert. You are the new generation of
- 3:05women, self-made, multimillionaire and proud of
- 3:11you. Thank you.
- 3:12Tell us how you came across my work.
- 3:15Yeah, so I came across Robert's work when I was 13 years old,
- 3:19literally Googling how do I get rich?
- 3:22Because I came from a family, great family, but we just didn't
- 3:25have any money and my parents really struggled to get by.
- 3:28And my dad works at a pawn shop still to this day, selling gold
- 3:32and silver. And my mom did night shift
- 3:35grocery bagging. And I was fortunate to have my
- 3:38own rich dad, poor dad situation and had a wealthy friend.
- 3:41And I was like, how do I get that?
- 3:44How do I build that life of love and connection and experiences
- 3:48and travel and abundance? And so I googled how do I get
- 3:51rich? And I found rich dad, poor dad.
- 3:54That was the first thing that popped up.
- 3:55And I read that book and the Rich Dad Principles is the exact
- 4:00playbook that I then followed for the rest of my life.
- 4:02And that's exactly what I do today.
- 4:04The poor in the middle class invest in liabilities, which
- 4:07just takes money out of their pocket, versus the rich invest
- 4:10in assets, which puts money in their pocket.
- 4:12And then he talked about getting out of the rat race, which is
- 4:15what this game talks about, how to get out of the rat race.
- 4:18And when you buy real estate and you buy assets like gold and
- 4:23hard assets that people use, and you acquire those instead of
- 4:26acquiring liabilities, that's how you can get out of the rat
- 4:29race and really have financial freedom in your life so you
- 4:32don't have to work for a paycheck for the rest of your
- 4:34life. And that's what got me hooked on
- 4:37it. And literally when I turned 18
- 4:38years old, I signed up for real estate school and I started
- 4:42investing in real estate. I, I learned just like Robert
- 4:44taught me, sales, public speaking and capital raising
- 4:48were the three most important things that I had to learn.
- 4:51And so that's what I immediately did was get into real estate
- 4:53sales, sold real estate, use that Commission to start buying
- 4:57assets as soon as I possibly could, and then practice my
- 5:00public speaking and learning how to raise capital, which now I
- 5:03have a national capital advisory firm and get to speak on stages.
- 5:07Thanks to Robert. And you brought me on stage for
- 5:12the first time. And I have to thank Joe Polish,
- 5:15you know, for introducing us. Yeah, Joe.
- 5:17And Joe is a natural teacher also, so she's fantastic and
- 5:25she's the role model for new women.
- 5:27And I thank Joe Polish again for introducing us.
- 5:30So you always talk about and the video that always goes so viral
- 5:35is being $1.2 billion in debt. Do you still feel good about
- 5:40being $1.2 billion in debt today?
- 5:43So she's my go to girl for debt financing.
- 5:47And what most people don't know is the US dollar became debt in
- 5:501971. So when people, Nixon took the
- 5:55dollar off the gold standard and when that happened, the
- 5:57inflation went through the roof, you know, so I got rich because
- 6:00I'm a real estate guy, but the poor got poorer.
- 6:05My calling has always been how come there's no financial
- 6:08education in schools? I think it's one of the biggest
- 6:11failures of education throughout the world and it's the
- 6:16incompetence of our school teaching system for not teaching
- 6:20financial education. Now the good news is there are
- 6:24many colleges now who are have whole classes dedicated to
- 6:32teaching the cash flow game. I was in Uzbekistan, great
- 6:37country, great people. They have a whole Central Asia
- 6:41university. They have a whole room just
- 6:45dedicated to playing the game and teaching financial
- 6:48education. And then I was in Malaysia not
- 6:51too long ago, and the Malaysian government is now installing
- 6:57cash flow as mandatory teaching. So the question is, why are
- 7:03games better at teachers? Well, as Maria Montessori,
- 7:07another entrepreneur in education, she's fabulous woman.
- 7:11The Montessori school system, she says What the hand does, the
- 7:15mind remembers. So by playing this game and
- 7:18doing the numbers and all that, it's burning into your brain.
- 7:22But when I was in class, I sit there and the teacher go like
- 7:25this, you know, I retained less than 7%.
- 7:30School is a waste of time. So by schools adopting and
- 7:35changing, I'm very happy to say some schools are changing to the
- 7:39cash flow game and using as a teaching tool.
- 7:44And then they teach money on top of that.
- 7:47So that's how the rich get richer.
- 7:49But unfortunately today, inflation's going like this
- 7:52because it's fake money. They're printing money and the
- 7:56poor are getting poorer. That's got to stop.
- 7:59That's got to stop. So I'm proud to be turning over
- 8:02the torch to any generation of women 40 to 50 years I've been
- 8:06teaching. What stops most people from
- 8:10learning is what they learned at home, and if they came from
- 8:14poorer parents, they have poor habits the brain is already
- 8:19fried into. No, you're going to play it
- 8:22safe. You got to get a college
- 8:24education, job security, job security, and hopefully a
- 8:27pension. You know, that's what is hard to
- 8:33change because what mommy and daddy taught you is who you
- 8:39become. Just like, you know, if you
- 8:41spoke French at home, you'd probably speak French.
- 8:45The same with money. And the reason games are
- 8:48powerful. Games include four
- 8:50intelligences. Mental, you have to use your
- 8:53brain. Physical, you have to use your
- 8:55hands, emotional. Everybody hates to win and lose,
- 9:00you know what I mean? But you get to control your
- 9:02emotion. And the last one is spiritual.
- 9:05When you understand you can master money.
- 9:09And the question is, what do I want to do with the rest of my
- 9:12life if I don't have to keep working for a living?
- 9:16And that's what happened for me. I retired, you know, the years
- 9:19ago. And the question is what I'm
- 9:21going to do with the rest of my life.
- 9:22You know, I began to teach. Yeah.
- 9:26How important is it to follow your Spirit's mission?
- 9:29I have a doctor, his name is Doctor Radical Pollen, and he's
- 9:34not only a cardiac heart transplant guy.
- 9:37You guys are genius. But he's also a doctor of
- 9:41acupuncture, and he's also a yoga master.
- 9:44You know, he's a real spiritual. He's like Gandhi, so Doctor
- 9:48Gopal's like Gandhi. And he says the mission of the
- 9:51body, our body is to fulfill our spirit's mission.
- 9:59What did God send you here to do?
- 10:01What's in your heart that you really want to do?
- 10:05You know, I hated school. I hated the teachers.
- 10:07But my mission was become a teacher, of all things.
- 10:11I flunked out of high school so many times.
- 10:13I just hated it. And I flunked because I couldn't
- 10:15write. And now I'm an international
- 10:17bestseller. Funny how that works.
- 10:20And her mission too, is to be a teacher.
- 10:23But she comes from the finance world.
- 10:26And you, role model for women. Thank you.
- 10:29So what I suggest all over the world now this game is being
- 10:32played. I suggest Hannah get together
- 10:35with five No 4 friends, best as five players.
- 10:39You know, 2 or 3 is OK. Play it once, play it twice,
- 10:42play it three times, and it starts to change the way you see
- 10:47the world. Your cash flow starts to change.
- 10:51But if you teach 10 people, it'll change your life.
- 10:54But you have to give before you receive.
- 10:58Most people want to receive not give and Hannah is a giver and
- 11:04Joe Ollish is a giver. We teach O lay the game at least
- 11:0910 times and then teach 10 people 10 and 10.
- 11:15Your life will change. You'll see a different future.
- 11:18Thank you. I can't wait to play.
- 11:19I can't wait to teach it all over the world.
- 11:22She did all of that without playing this game.
- 11:24I couldn't believe it. I know I have not played the
- 11:27cash flow game and I've been living the cash flow game, but I
- 11:30haven't been playing the cash flow game.
- 11:32So it's going to be amazing, so. We're brothers and sisters in
- 11:36spirit, you know, and we teach and it's money other people to
- 11:41do things like God or how to fix a car.
- 11:46We teach money because money is not the root of all evil.
- 11:50The lack of money is the root of all evil.
- 11:53I learned in Sunday school, teach a man to fish, you feed
- 11:57them for a lifetime. Give a man a fish, you feed them
- 12:01for a day. It's spiritual, it's biblical.
- 12:05And our schools are screwing up all over the world because they
- 12:10tell you, you get a job security and you know, and, and AI is
- 12:14coming, it's going to wipe out jobs all over the world.
- 12:18So it's time for change and where teachers have changed.
- 12:21What do you recommend to the next generation?
- 12:25We're entering one of the biggest changes in world history
- 12:28right now. The central bank system, the
- 12:32printed money, all coming to an end.
- 12:35Debt is all over the world now and people are losing trust in
- 12:42paper money. So the new saying I have is any
- 12:47asset that depends on trust will get wiped out.
- 12:53So if you're saving, let's say ETFs or stocks, because there's
- 12:57too much trust, the biggest trust is people are losing trust
- 13:01in America and that's our bonds. If people lose trust in America
- 13:07and the US bond, you know that BS that financial planners tell
- 13:11you is that bonds are safe. Not true anymore.
- 13:14So if the trust goes out of the US bond system, America goes
- 13:18bankrupt that fast. Hope it doesn't happen.
- 13:21I hope I'm wrong, but that's how close we are.
- 13:25America, you know, the greatest nation in world history, but
- 13:29China's going to kick our ass right now.
- 13:31What do you think happens if we go down?
- 13:34Chaos Revolution. I've seen it before.
- 13:39I've sometimes been in the wrong place at the right time all of
- 13:41my life. I was in Zimbabwe, in Africa,
- 13:47when the Zim dollar collapsed. I was most terrifying that 10
- 13:52days of my life. Chaos erupted.
- 13:55The blacks started to murder the white farmers and steal their
- 14:00farms. So I was in the wrong place at
- 14:02the right time watching this happen in Zimbabwe.
- 14:05Great country, great people. And this white, little white
- 14:10woman, you know, I was, I was at her house and I'm sitting there,
- 14:13you know, getting out of Dodge and she comes running up to me
- 14:18and she says, burn my farm down. Leave those bastards.
- 14:21Nothing. Holy shit.
- 14:24You know, like I was in Vietnam when the North Viennese busted
- 14:30through the line, the DMZ and I saw them kick our asses.
- 14:36So communism was winning. So I looked at my friend.
- 14:39I said let's do it. So we got torches.
- 14:44This beautiful 400 year old farm, we got torches.
- 14:49We started with a diesel yard. We set the diesel tanks on fire,
- 14:54burned her house down and burned all the thatch houses down.
- 15:01Kept her promise and got out of got out, barely got out.
- 15:05So it's like Vietnam. When I saw I was at the battle
- 15:09of Quang Tree, we got our asses kicked.
- 15:12We lost 62 men that day. So many guys got, thank God I
- 15:17didn't get shot down, but they they got shot down.
- 15:21I saw my friends die and the North Vietnamese run South.
- 15:26And then in 1975, you saw the helicopter on the roof.
- 15:30That was ACIA helicopter. It was taking the last Americans
- 15:35out of the embassy and getting out.
- 15:37So I've been the wrong place at the right time.
- 15:41I've seen too much to to to stay silent.
- 15:45Our education system's failing us right now.
- 15:49They're Marxist. They really don't know they're
- 15:51Marxist because they never studied Marx.
- 15:55And Marx said it all. You know, he's in 1930, Columbia
- 15:59University's Teachers College invited Marxist instructors from
- 16:04Germany to teach their teachers. That was 1930.
- 16:08It's all historically registered.
- 16:11By the time I got to school in 1960s, there was rioting all
- 16:15across the campuses because the teachers are Marxist.
- 16:21And you know, as in Kent State, Ohio, they shot 4 students.
- 16:26That's chaos. Orders has to break down, the
- 16:30same as I saw in Zimbabwe, in Vietnam.
- 16:34I've just seen too much, so I can't keep my mouth shut.
- 16:38My poor dad. Brilliant man.
- 16:41Brilliant, brilliant man, Good man. 6 foot three, tall for
- 16:44Japanese. But he was a PhD, poor, helpless
- 16:47and desperate. And he went to Stanford
- 16:50Northwestern. And so get your PhD.
- 16:52You know, I said, Dad, you're broke.
- 16:54And my wrist tenses. My best friend's father, he says
- 17:01play Monopoly, use debt. So I had to learn how to use
- 17:06debt, find real estate, find investments, put deals together.
- 17:11And the highest achievement in my opinion of an entrepreneur is
- 17:18take a company public through IPOs initial public offering.
- 17:22So I've taken three companies public, I've been on a New York
- 17:26Stock Exchange ringing the bell and all that, just like Elon
- 17:29Musk did and all this Elon Musk is the greatest entrepreneur
- 17:32we've had in our generation and he's South African, you know, so
- 17:39entrepreneurship can save the world.
- 17:41That's what we're we're the elements of this game teaches
- 17:45the fundamentals of entrepreneurship.
- 17:48The numbers. Let's, let's show the numbers
- 17:50one more time. This is the foundation of
- 17:53entrepreneurship. Can you control your numbers?
- 17:58This is income, expense, assets, liabilities, income statement,
- 18:04balance sheet, statement of cash flow.
- 18:08And you learn it by having fun. You know, when I was in, I have
- 18:13three pH DS today. I hate to admit that, but our
- 18:16school teacher didn't understand this.
- 18:20My accounting teacher didn't understand this.
- 18:23They knew this, they knew this. They didn't know the statement
- 18:27of cash flow. So this is the only game in the
- 18:31world that teaches a statement of cash flow to everybody.
- 18:36And it's fun, Tough game, hard to learn, but you play it 10
- 18:42times, your brain goes, Oh my God.
- 18:45And as Marinta Montessori, what the hand does, the mind
- 18:47remembers. And in school, I was in the, I
- 18:51was in the accounting class, the teachers, yeah, put no way of
- 18:55going in one ear out the other. So I got kicked out of the
- 18:59accounting class in my MBA program because I took on the
- 19:04teacher. I asked the accounting teacher
- 19:07said, are you an accountant? I said, I stood up and I said,
- 19:10come on, Marine, you know, I said, don't dodge me, man.
- 19:14Are you an accountant? He says, no, I just studied the
- 19:18accounting school. He had no practical experience.
- 19:25He didn't know how to use debt. You thought that was bad, Like
- 19:29Dave Ramsey is live debt free. And that's good advice for most
- 19:32people. But you know what?
- 19:34I know we use debt to get rich, but that takes a different
- 19:39mindset, different skill set because it's not easy.
- 19:43So the purpose of the game is inspired to play this game in
- 19:46real life, but our schools don't teach us.
- 19:48But thank God the universities and some schools are now
- 19:52adopting this game as a fundamental for the financial
- 19:55education courses. So far, I don't know of anybody
- 19:58in the US who is because the Teachers Union of America is the
- 20:03NEA National Education Association.
- 20:07Forbes calls America's teachers union, the National Extortion
- 20:11Association. Biggest criminals going on the
- 20:14teachers unions. And Marx said unions are Marxist
- 20:19because workers of the world unite.
- 20:21That was one rule. And also Karl Marx said the
- 20:24abolition of private property. So you look at what's happening
- 20:28in California right now, today, 2026, the rich are leaving
- 20:33California at a high speed because the Communist Republic
- 20:37of California just says we're going to tax everything.
- 20:42You own everything. So I may have bought this house
- 20:4520 years ago. They're going to tax it again.
- 20:47And so that's why they're leaving.
- 20:49California's losing a lot because they're rich are
- 20:52leaving, same as New York City. They're all going to Florida and
- 20:56Texas. But because our teachers are
- 21:00Marxist, America's coming down. That's got to change.
- 21:05So I said, why not start with the women, right?
- 21:10What do you think? I agree 100%.
- 21:13I think you know, you teach in your book that we are taught in
- 21:17the traditional school system to go to school, get a job, a safe
- 21:21and secure job, invest in your 4O1K, buy a primary residence
- 21:26and save for retirement someday and hope that you're going to
- 21:29have money in your 4O1K or your pension, which pensions aren't
- 21:32around anymore. And I was scared.
- 21:34I was one of those those students.
- 21:36I didn't know if I was going to be a successful entrepreneur.
- 21:39I was just following a book that I had read.
- 21:40I didn't know Robert in person. I didn't have any like real life
- 21:43mentors. And so I did both.
- 21:45I literally got my real estate license, started my own real
- 21:48estate business, started investing in assets, but at the
- 21:51same time, I was still going down the path of schooling.
- 21:54When I read that book at 13, I didn't know if I was going to be
- 21:57successful. So I still had that fear and was
- 21:59the top of my class, earned a full ride scholarship, went to
- 22:02ASU and ended up working in corporate America.
- 22:06And I had an engineering degree. It was like the highest paying
- 22:09entry job possible. And I was making pretty good
- 22:13money, like as good of money as you can in corporate America for
- 22:17what the, you know, for an engineering degree that I had.
- 22:20And this was back in 2014, I think.
- 22:21I can't remember what I was making now, but it was like just
- 22:24under 100,000 I think. And that was, that's good money,
- 22:27right? But after taxes, 4 O 1K Social
- 22:31Security, blah blah blah, all the money was gone on.
- 22:34And I remember literally I was sitting at my desk when I got my
- 22:37first paycheck and I started crying and I called my brother
- 22:41and I was like, this is the worst part of the game.
- 22:44Just like that video where that kids crying playing Monopoly
- 22:47when he has to pay his taxes. Because I realized in that
- 22:50moment that there's no way I was going to become truly wealthy
- 22:54and be able to do the things that I wanted to do, have the
- 22:57impact that I wanted to have and have the live the life that I
- 22:59wanted to live. If that was the path that I was
- 23:01going to do. And have 3% annual increases
- 23:04each year and have half of it going away off the top right to
- 23:09the government and to Medicare and Social Security and all
- 23:12those things. And then I replaced that income
- 23:15very quickly from my passive income from following the
- 23:19principles of the cash flow game and from rich dad, poor dad.
- 23:22And I started buying assets, renovating them, adding value to
- 23:25them, using good debt. The tenants were paying back
- 23:28that debt, paying for that debt, using the tax strategy as a real
- 23:32estate professional to offset my earned income, and then cash
- 23:36flowing from the tenants. And as soon as my rental income
- 23:39replaced my job income, I was able to quit my job and have
- 23:44financial freedom and successfully get out of the rat
- 23:47race and the rest is history. What changed my life with
- 23:50teachers and I was in Sunday school at 7 years old.
- 23:54I was bored stiff as usual. But then you have you look up
- 23:58ADHD my pictures there, you know, I just I get bored so
- 24:02fast. That's why I hated school.
- 24:05But anyway, my Sunday school teachers asked why she says why
- 24:09were the three men wise men wise?
- 24:12That's right. I know that answer. 7 years old
- 24:15raised my hand. She goes why?
- 24:18I said because they're rich and in Methodist Church rich is a
- 24:22sin. You know, the love of money is
- 24:25the root of all evil in my church.
- 24:27She goes, why do you say they were rich?
- 24:31I said one head goal, frankincense and mirror.
- 24:33I said that stuff costs a lot of money.
- 24:35And she goes, that's not why they were rich.
- 24:40I said, well, tell me what it was.
- 24:42She says the three wise men were seeking the best teacher.
- 24:49I'm not pushing religion neither, but it was Jesus
- 24:51Christ. I was seeking him the birth of
- 24:54Christ, you know, and so seven years old, and I said I'd better
- 25:00find a new teacher because my old man's a professor.
- 25:04He's broke, PhD or helpless, desperate.
- 25:08So when I was 10, I met my rich dad and I said my teacher's
- 25:11here. And he broke out his monopoly.
- 25:14I had to work for him for free because if I didn't work for
- 25:18free, he says if you work for money, you're an employee,
- 25:22you're a peasant. Said the rich don't work for
- 25:25money. What?
- 25:27And then he'd break out the Monopoly game and he'd go the
- 25:32secrets on this game here. So I had to work for Rich Dad
- 25:36for free picking up rubbish and because he owned hotels, pick up
- 25:40stuff, you know, help people check out and all this.
- 25:43He would sit down and play Monopoly with a stun in me and
- 25:48he says 4 greenhouses, tax free exchange, 1031 red hotel.
- 25:55And that's one of the biggest advantage of a real estate is a
- 26:00tax free exchange. You can't do that in stocks.
- 26:05So I make millions and not pay taxes legally because I invest
- 26:12in real estate. I use debt.
- 26:15So let's say I buy a property for a million goes up to 10
- 26:19million. I don't sell it because then I
- 26:22have a capital gains tax. So it goes from 1,000,000 to 10
- 26:25million. I'll borrow out five and because
- 26:29it's 5,000,010 on debt tax free. That's the game that monopoly.
- 26:35Well, my rich dad taught me playing monopoly.
- 26:38But there in school they don't teach you that They teach you
- 26:41get a four O 1K risk. It was horrible, horrible thing
- 26:46you can invest in or this guy Obama student loan debt to get
- 26:52higher degrees. I would never use student loans
- 26:55as the most onerous debt possible.
- 26:58Terrible. But these Marxists like Obama
- 27:02and all that, they're making our kids poorer.
- 27:07So what happens is the poor kids get a student loan and they're
- 27:13in debt for the rest of their lives.
- 27:15And I'll say one more thing about Marx and he says the
- 27:19essence of spreading communism is a graduated income tax.
- 27:26Marx near that taxation would spread communism.
- 27:31And so in 1913, I believe the Federal Reserve Bank was
- 27:36created, which is Marxist. Anything central, central bank,
- 27:41it's Marxist. But the same time the IRS was
- 27:44created. For most of our lives, America
- 27:48has been tax free. You know, America was founded in
- 27:521773 with the Boston Tea Party. There was a tax revolt, but the
- 27:58Marxists kept taking over the poor people.
- 28:01They become bureaucrats with their pH DS.
- 28:04They don't know anything about this stuff here.
- 28:07They don't know anything about things.
- 28:09They don't understand debt that they've been told live debt
- 28:12free. And now we have, you know,
- 28:14California in 2026. The rich are leaving California
- 28:18at high speed. They're leaving New York and
- 28:21then we went to Florida and Texas because Marxists have
- 28:25taken over California and New York.
- 28:28That guy, Mandami, he's a Marxist, purebred Marxist.
- 28:33He admits it, Social Democrat. And so our schools are pumping
- 28:38out Marxist like my poor dad. And so we combat that with
- 28:42financial education outside the school system.
- 28:47You don't have to go to school to play this game cost you a lot
- 28:50less than a college degree. Oh yeah.
- 28:53Have you played it 10 times? You teach 10 people.
- 28:56You might have a chance to become Hannah.
- 28:58I wish I would have not gone to college and I mean no regrets,
- 29:02but wish I would have just dove and straight into cash flow and
- 29:05buying assets and going all in on selling real estate and
- 29:09increasing my network and my skills like public speaking and
- 29:13capital raising. And I would have gotten a lot
- 29:15farther a lot sooner. But it's it's exciting.
- 29:18Shoot the rising stars, it's on CNBC.
- 29:21It took me until I was 50 to get on CNBC.
- 29:24She's already there. Thank you.
- 29:27I'm so proud of her. I'm going with the rising star
- 29:30teacher and honored to have her become one of and it'll be
- 29:34partners in teaching because by education, we can, you know,
- 29:40elevate the financial well-being of humanity.
- 29:42Right now there's cash flow games all over the world being
- 29:44played, different languages, Japanese, Chinese.
- 29:50That's even though they won in I, I think Muslim or whatever,
- 29:54Muslim Arabic, it's coming, you know.
- 29:58But we can change the world with a game so that that's one of the
- 30:04benefits of games. And games are great teachers.
- 30:07You can play as long as you like, as hard as you like, and
- 30:11the teacher doesn't ask for overtime.
- 30:13Yeah, that's the teacher and it's about it Used to be 200
- 30:19bucks, probably about 50 bucks or whatever.
- 30:23It'll change. If you play it 10 times, teach
- 30:2510 people, you'll see a different will.
- 30:28Most people are terrified of debts, but you talk about the
- 30:31difference between good debt and bad debt.
- 30:33How much debt are you in and why are you excited about that?
- 30:36Debt became money 1971. And then these financial
- 30:41planners, you know, I think it takes seven days because of
- 30:44financial planner, seven weeks I think.
- 30:50And they tell people bonds are safe, US bonds.
- 30:56Well, there's no safety from stupidity, you know, And trust
- 31:00is going out of American bonds. So is Japanese bonds.
- 31:05So the world is going to change big time in 2026 and beyond.
- 31:12So financial education, hopefully we'll be a part of
- 31:16that change. I'm not saying school teachers
- 31:18are bad to people. They're like my poor dad.
- 31:21They just don't know. They just don't know.
- 31:26I went to military school. The first book I had to read at
- 31:32military school was a communist manifesto.
- 31:37And I asked my economic teacher, so why am I studying the
- 31:39Communist manifesto? He says know thy enemy.
- 31:44And I spent the rest of my life fighting communists.
- 31:48Unfortunately, I killed a lot of them, killed a lot of them with
- 31:52fight, you know, a Marine pilot lost a lot of friends.
- 31:57But we fought to stop communism in Vietnam.
- 32:01And that's why I said was the wrong place at the right time.
- 32:05When the North Vietnamese broke through the DMZ with the Battle
- 32:09of Quang Tree, we got our asses handed to us and I was a carrier
- 32:15pilot at the time. I'm sitting on the carrier that
- 32:19I was shot. The hell, you know, lost, I
- 32:21think we lost 6 aircraft and 60 something.
- 32:24Mandarin was horrible and they're trying to keep spirits
- 32:30up. You know, I said, I raised a
- 32:33question and the Colonel said, yes, Lieutenant, I said how come
- 32:38their Vietnamese fight harder than our Vietnamese?
- 32:43Because the South Vietnamese turn and ran and the NVA came
- 32:48down. NVA fight differently.
- 32:50It's really interesting. They hold their Aks like this
- 32:53and shoot deadly accuracy, so they're trained differently too.
- 32:58I'm going, I see my friend going down.
- 33:01War was a good thing for me because I grew up and I said I'm
- 33:04going to keep fighting, but I want to know why the communists
- 33:08fight harder than the capitalist.
- 33:11Why did the North Vietnamese fight harder than our South
- 33:14Vietnamese? And we got fat and lazy.
- 33:16I think, you know, I too comfortable.
- 33:19So I don't hate the enemy. I have to respect them.
- 33:24They're doing the same that came from families and all this.
- 33:26So that's why I keep fighting for capitalism.
- 33:31We teach this is capital. This is a capitalist game.
- 33:36If you were 25 years old right now, what would you be focused
- 33:40on learning? Every day I don't even I'm
- 33:42working, I'm learning, I'm reading a new book.
- 33:45But the thing I respect about Hannah, after I met her, I said,
- 33:48Oh my God, I'll get to know you better.
- 33:52And I kept calling her. She goes, no, I'm in a seminar.
- 33:58So I called him a week or two. Oh, another seminar.
- 34:01You know, she's in seminars, which is what my rich dad taught
- 34:06me. He says don't go to school, go
- 34:08to seminars. Learn from real teachers, you
- 34:13know, teachers that practice what they teach.
- 34:17The problem is most teachers teach what they read in a
- 34:21textbook, so they lack the hands on experience and that's a big
- 34:28thing. Choose your teachers wisely, but
- 34:31always get educated. Why was a fabulous new book out?
- 34:35There's 3 levels of respect. Number one is self respect.
- 34:40You know that's what you had to learn, right?
- 34:41Self respect. Number 2 is respect of your
- 34:45friends, but #3 is the respect of people you respect.
- 34:54So you can see in my room, Oprah called me, Trump calls me.
- 34:59I respect those guys and people. I hate Trump.
- 35:01He's a good friend of mine, you know, But when people you
- 35:05respect, respect you as a third level of respect.
- 35:11So this friend of mine, Jim Records, who is a man I respect
- 35:15immensely, not that it means most people.
- 35:18He was LTCM, Long Term Capital Management.
- 35:21His hedge fund nearly brought on the world economy.
- 35:24Brilliant, brilliant man. I called the firehose when he
- 35:27speaks. Guy's a genius.
- 35:31Shell's rough for the CIA and Defense Department teaching
- 35:33them. He sent me a book, says please
- 35:35read this book, review this book.
- 35:37So I got the pre publication copy of the Entropy trap.
- 35:42The entropy trap and the the book blew my brain apart.
- 35:48Yes, the book of today, the entropy trap.
- 35:51I've read a lot of great books. Entropy Trap's the book of
- 35:54today. It's so currently talks about
- 35:57Hormuz and Iran fighting the price of oil going up.
- 36:03What's terrifying is inflation's going to go up and then we're
- 36:07going to collapse. Happens all the time.
- 36:11And then we'll have Zimbabwe or South Vietnam because our
- 36:17schools are Marxist good people. But like my poor dad, they don't
- 36:22know anything about money. So that's why we teach.
- 36:27We're fighting Marxism by teaching capitalism.
- 36:31What about gods in disguise? That's a powerful book too.
- 36:35Gods in Disguise talks about what?
- 36:37What are the attributes of God #1 besides kindness, compassion
- 36:44#1 was knowledge the number one attribute of God In this book,
- 36:49Gods in Disguise, it's Ellen Walter.
- 36:52Denise goes once they seek knowledge.
- 36:58And that's why I feel sorry for people who leave school hating
- 37:01it like I did, or people who stopped learning because it was
- 37:05boring. So another reason why years ago
- 37:09I created this, 1996 I created this game, and 1997 I couldn't
- 37:14sell the game. That's a stupid game.
- 37:17I couldn't sell it. So to sell the game, I wrote a
- 37:22book called Rich Dad Burdad. The book took off and the game
- 37:26follows now. Yeah, 40 million copies later.
- 37:31You know, most teachers tell you you make mistakes, you're
- 37:33stupid. Well, the way you get rich is
- 37:36making mistakes. Learn from your mistakes, move
- 37:39on. Learn from your mistakes, move
- 37:40on. You know, in flight school,
- 37:43every single day I was at Camp Pendleton, CA on the way to
- 37:48Vietnam. Every single day we practice
- 37:52crashing because the odds are we're going to go down the head
- 37:58of doing things that were so terrifying, like it can't pen on
- 38:02there. There's two trees.
- 38:05The helicopter blades are this big, and our job was to come
- 38:11turn the helicopter and go through the trees this way.
- 38:13My younger brother was in the back seat that day.
- 38:16He was in the Air Force, came to visit me.
- 38:19I can still hear him screaming, but every day we crash three
- 38:24times. So I crashed three times and the
- 38:29third question I broke my back, but the IT became automatic.
- 38:34It says OK I'm crashing engine quit good thing.
- 38:40So excellent next big of mistake of school the teacher don't make
- 38:46mistakes. Humans were decided to learn by
- 38:49making mistakes. A baby learns to walk by
- 38:53standing up, falling down. Learn to ride a bike by running
- 38:56up, falling down. You know, don't make mistakes.
- 38:59Make mistakes. You're stupid.
- 39:03They're the stupid ones. They're making no mistakes.
- 39:06Allison must take. Here is a horrible school.
- 39:09I was there teaching with Charlie Kirk and the professors.
- 39:1339 of them came after us. Why are they doing this?
- 39:17You know, when Charlie Kirk got shot, I went.
- 39:19I know who took him out. Who shot Charlie Kirk?
- 39:22I suspect that those 39 professors attacked us.
- 39:27A woman named Carrie Lake, you know, she was a senator.
- 39:31Anthony Kern from here took up our cause.
- 39:35And they called a hearing in front of the Senate of Arizona
- 39:41and they asked those 39 professors to show up.
- 39:45The 39 professors went. Who do these professors think
- 39:48they are? So I just kind of verified my
- 39:50whole contempt of school. It's Marxist.
- 39:56Remember Marxist abolition of private property, income tax?
- 40:00And that's the third one I forget.
- 40:03But America's getting poorer because our school systems are
- 40:08Marxist. They've got to change.
- 40:11And thank God there are certain teachers changing.
- 40:14Like the University in Uzbekistan, Central University
- 40:19and Malaysia are adopting all programs to teach the scheme,
- 40:25but meanwhile the Marxist professor at ASU to you, they
- 40:31didn't even show up and center occurrences.
- 40:34How dare they? They're above the law because
- 40:38they have PhDs or helpless, desperate Marxists.
- 40:45Not bad people, just different economic philosophy.
- 40:49Capitalism is opposite of Marxism, a big, big difference.
- 40:54So I have to study Marxism, capitalism, and that's why I
- 40:58teach capitalism. You're going to touch teaching
- 41:00capitalism with, you know, Joe Polish all over the world.
- 41:03We changed the world that way. We raise a level as America, I
- 41:08hate to say this is about to enter a depression very close.
- 41:12So that's that book. The Entropy Trap will explain
- 41:15why how you protect yourself. It's called the biggest wealth
- 41:17transfers in the world. The people that rich are rich
- 41:21today will probably be poorer tomorrow because they're
- 41:26investing in, let's say paper that lacks trust.
- 41:33That's when the financial plans say US bonds are safe.
- 41:35I said not from stupidity. And that faith in America is
- 41:40going down South. Gold and silver, you know,
- 41:44Bitcoin, they hold their, they hold their integrity.
- 41:49So that's why I own gold mines and silver mines.
- 41:54I take them public and I have millions of shares of stock.
- 41:59They're my shares. I don't buy shares.
- 42:02I only sell shares, so that's why one of the goals I had was
- 42:07take a company public. So my first public company was
- 42:11on the Toronto Stock Exchange and then NASDAQ and then New
- 42:16York Stock Exchange. So I rang the bill on the New
- 42:20York Stock Exchange. That's how cool.
- 42:22Rarest days of my life. And then real estate, you're
- 42:27doing the what's that deal we're about to do where you're going
- 42:30to put down $1,000,000 through a 1031 exchange so you don't have
- 42:33to pay taxes and then buy a cash flowing building.
- 42:36Your house is not an asset because you got to pay for it.
- 42:39But even today I'm looking for a bigger real estate deals because
- 42:45I make so much money. If I don't buy a real estate, I
- 42:49pay taxes but where did I get that money from?
- 42:53I take a property, it goes to 1,000,000 to 10 million.
- 42:58I borrow out five million, let's say tax free money cause debt is
- 43:04tax free and I buy my property. I can't do that with a stock or
- 43:11someone who can, but that's how I do it.
- 43:15That's why when I graduated from when I was getting on the Marine
- 43:18Corps, my rest had had me take real estate courses and finance
- 43:27debt, how to borrow money and how to communicate, which is
- 43:31fits in because the different between rich and poor is a
- 43:35different language, different language.
- 43:39I was at Machu Picchu not too long ago.
- 43:42I was going, wow, look at this place.
- 43:45And when I got I come to little Inca and we're looking at Machu
- 43:49Picchu and I said, do you have a question?
- 43:53I said, yeah, So a little Inca says, took me to a secret place.
- 44:00There's a rock with a hole in it.
- 44:04He says look through this hole and the question you're looking
- 44:09for will come to you. So here's this rock, not not a
- 44:13big one, but a hole in it. So here's Machu Picchu, one
- 44:19level, 2 Level, 3 levels. And so I said my question was,
- 44:26what separated the three levels? This is, you know, hundreds of
- 44:32how many years ago much beach was built?
- 44:35And the Inca smiled and he says language.
- 44:40He says the poor spoke the language of a farmer so that
- 44:46they couldn't speak to anybody else.
- 44:48But you know, stop, the second tier spoke the tier of kind of
- 44:55business and, you know, making money shop owner and stuff like
- 44:59this. I said, what about the top tier?
- 45:03He says Quechua, the language of money.
- 45:09I went, wow. So what made the rich rich was
- 45:13not money, but words, financial literacy.
- 45:18We speak the language of money and that's what capitalists
- 45:21speak. So all it's been around for, you
- 45:26know, centuries, centuries. And now AI is coming going to
- 45:33change the world again. And all those people are going
- 45:36to school for job security gone. It's going to be chaos.
- 45:42Well, you got to buy things that hold value.
- 45:46I buy gold. I own gold mines, I own silver
- 45:49silver mines, and I own oil wells.
- 45:55They're tangible assets to hold their value.
- 45:58A bond doesn't hold its value, and a financial panel would say
- 46:01bonds are safe. It's only as safe as a guy
- 46:05issuing it. You know, in my world of gold
- 46:10and silver and oil, there's no counterparty risk.
- 46:17That was gold. Doesn't need to be money.
- 46:19With anybody's blessing, it's money.
- 46:22JP Morgan says gold is money. Everything else is dead.
- 46:27That's true. But a school teacher, go to
- 46:30school, get a job, save money, get out of debt and put some
- 46:33money in Four O 1K. My generation boomer generation
- 46:38got wiped out because the four O 1K started in 1974.
- 46:44The boomers are the first generation without a defined
- 46:47benefit pension plan. The benefit plan cannot crash,
- 46:51but defined contribution can. 4 O1 KS, IRA, they can crash.
- 46:57So this crash we're entering right now in 2026, many boomers
- 47:03will be homeless. It's a house, not an asset.
- 47:10So very treacherous times at the right time, right?
- 47:14Teachers show up like you. Yeah, what about ESBI?
- 47:20ESBI or book 1 was Rich Dad. Poor Dad came out in 1997.
- 47:27This came out in 1996 but nobody would buy us.
- 47:30I wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad and the second book I wrote was the
- 47:34Cash flow quadrant ESB. i.e. stands for employee, S stands
- 47:41for self-employed or small business.
- 47:45B stands for big business 500 employees or more and I didn't
- 47:50stand for AN I stands for an insider.
- 47:53The reason I like real estate is I'm an insider on the deal.
- 47:59Insiders have more control. When I take a company public,
- 48:04I'm an insider. People with a four O 1K or IRA
- 48:09are outsiders, but it takes financial education become AB or
- 48:15I so I have thousands of employees.
- 48:19I don't need a job and I'm an insider.
- 48:23I put my own deals together. That's what that teaches yeah.
- 48:28Coming out of the whole video series that'll teach us, you
- 48:32know more because video is the way to go like that guy does,
- 48:34you know, just the future. That's the new teacher.
- 48:39So I work on a guy named Matt Lights and he's an AI genius who
- 48:49does video. So we're coming out as teachers,
- 48:54but real teachers, not fake teachers.
- 48:57Well, it's really cool now to AI.
- 49:00You can be continue to teach forever, even long after you're
- 49:03gone, because our AI clones can live on and keep teaching our
- 49:07principles with AI video. Now we can keep teaching long
- 49:11after we're gone, which is so cool.
- 49:13The game is an artifact. Keep teaching the books,
- 49:16artifice. They keep teaching you and I'll
- 49:18be gone. They'll keep teaching, you know.
- 49:20That's why you keep telling me that I need to have an artifact
- 49:23and you already wrote the foreword to my book that I'm
- 49:26working on. She needs an artifact and your
- 49:30your first thing was was self esteem right.
- 49:33I know her dad. We're the same business C&C
- 49:36silver. I go to them all the time.
- 49:39I didn't know, didn't know, Hannah, which I did, but.
- 49:43Yeah, except he's my poor dad. Yeah.
- 49:47He's my poor dad and he's my rich dad.
- 49:49It's a. Different.
- 49:51What was that? Nothing, I said.
- 49:54He's my poor dad. He knew the game.
- 49:56That's why silver has intrinsic value.
- 50:01Gold has intrinsic value. It has integrity.
- 50:04It holds a shape. It doesn't need anybody's
- 50:07blessing it for it to be money. AUS bond requires somebody to
- 50:12bless it. So when those financial planners
- 50:16tell you bonds are safe, I said nothing's safe from stupidity.
- 50:22Easy answer. You know that's true.
- 50:25The hardest part is this. I look at Machu Picchu when
- 50:29you're raised there, here, here. I have the toughest time with
- 50:34poor people because your mommy and daddy taught them more
- 50:39ideas. So, you know, I talk to my
- 50:42brothers and sisters. They go college education.
- 50:46College education. We send our kids to the best
- 50:48schools around. I said buy us some.
- 50:50No, we save money. We don't use debt.
- 50:53That's what my dad taught them. Rich dad taught me differently.
- 50:57So I love my brothers and sisters, but we're different
- 51:00people. I did $100 million deal the
- 51:04other day. Like I showed it to you, I have
- 51:09no idea what it is. How did millions of it's not big
- 51:13money and it's not it's not like Elon Musk be Elon Musk trillion
- 51:19and just millions. But the mindset's the same.
- 51:24But when you talk to people from the bottom layer, mommy and
- 51:29daddy sing louder. The middle layer is often their
- 51:33education sings louder, and the top wings speak the word
- 51:38Quechua, the language of money. I don't know if people said
- 51:42Quechua's not it, but works for me.
- 51:46That was from the little that's Peruvian.
- 51:51That's the sign of an Inca ruler.
- 51:54There's always to us a good side and a bad side.
- 51:59And she was asking me about God's in disguise.
- 52:04It's very important book is it talks about what makes God, God
- 52:08and #1A seeker of knowledge and kindness.
- 52:11You know, stuff like that. It talked about the problem with
- 52:15knowledge. It's called an ascension
- 52:18experience. You go, the trouble with going
- 52:23up is your good side gets stronger, so does your dark
- 52:29side. And that's why you see a lot of
- 52:33rich people go up or like, you know, football players or
- 52:36basketball players, movie stars and all that.
- 52:40And something happens and they come down because it's a good
- 52:45site, goes up. What causes this guy's dark side
- 52:50also goes up And be very careful of that one.
- 52:54You know, So very interesting study, lots of information that
- 52:59don't really teach in school and like, you know this, I love
- 53:04playing like I have the same watch.
- 53:07Yeah. And the worst thing you can tell
- 53:09somebody has lived beyond your means.
- 53:13Study can expand your means you. Mean live below.
- 53:17Your like a good thing. Yeah, I I took my black Bentley
- 53:21and Bentley convertible. I said, I'm kind of bored with
- 53:24this car. So I took it to a dealer and
- 53:30sitting next to it is a blonde Bentley.
- 53:31I like blondes. I'm like, how much is that?
- 53:39And you know, everybody says live below your means and nice
- 53:43cars depreciate lie. You know, Toyota, you dream
- 53:47about falls, but collector cars go up.
- 53:52Certain cars always go up. So he liked my Bentley.
- 53:58Sitting next was this blonde convertible blood and I said oh
- 54:02and we traded. He goes sure.
- 54:05So we traded and he gave me 35,000 bucks.
- 54:12I only paid 70 for my Bentley. How did I get $35,000 back?
- 54:19He says you're the best engine. Then I'm a dumb shit they don't
- 54:23own an engine. My brother was really good
- 54:25mechanic. I didn't enter the car.
- 54:27You mean the engine was worth how much money?
- 54:28He goes, Yeah. So this blonde Bentley doesn't
- 54:33have to get good engine. So I got 2 cars with a 35 cup.
- 54:37Buying another car, I still made money trading at one car.
- 54:45So when you enter that world of the rich, it's a different
- 54:51world. The hard part is what your mommy
- 54:54and daddy told you. Were they poor, middle class or
- 54:58rich? Yeah, moving from scary.
- 55:01Donald Trump, and we're good friends.
- 55:03Good man. His sons are great kids.
- 55:06It's time we have financial education.
- 55:09And because the schools aren't teaching it, we'll teach it.
- 55:12But we're real teachers. We practice what we teach.
- 55:16She practices what she's going to teach.
- 55:18Yeah, moving from scarcity to abundance is the hardest thing.
- 55:21You know, rewiring the mind when you are raised in scarcity and
- 55:26fear and that's your driver behind everything that you're
- 55:28doing. And it's so hard to create what
- 55:32you want and realize your dreams.
- 55:35If you're living in fear and scarcity.
- 55:37You have to learn the skills, change your mind, think
- 55:42positive, think big, change the way you think about everything
- 55:45and understand anything truly is possible.
- 55:48I think therefore I am as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he
- 55:52so. Well, thank you, Robert.
- 55:54Thank you proud. Of you.
- 55:57This treasure was given to my dear friend Fernando Gonzalez.
- 56:04He is from Peru and I've learned a lot from Peru.
- 56:10So thank you, Fernando. The man in the arena.
- 56:26It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how
- 56:29strongman stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done
- 56:33them better. The credit belongs to the man
- 56:35who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and
- 56:38sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who airs, who come
- 56:43short again and again because there is no effort without error
- 56:47and shortcoming. But who does actually strive to
- 56:49do the deeds? Who knows great enthusiasms, the
- 56:52great devotions, Who spends himself in a worthy cause?
- 56:56Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement?
- 57:01And who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
- 57:04daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those
- 57:08cold and timid souls who neither knew victory nor defeat.
- 57:13Theodore Roosevelt.
