I was a pilot in Vietnam I went to school to kill people I killed a lot of people went to military school we think differently I fought for my country I fought against Communists they killed us we killed them I went down three times in Vietnam my friends don't come back and the hippies they were spitting on us hitting us with eggs I would love to know what you think the future of America is from the heart of an American America is bankrupt we're the biggest debor nation in the world the only nation more in
debt than us was Japan stupid Japanese so there was a pipeline running from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico Biden cut that off I was selling oil in those days for $30 a barrel went to 130 a barrel that's dollars I knew exactly what Biden was doing he was going to destroy the middle class so there'd be two classes of people rich and everybody El poor so Biden is one of these guys here and this man here is a capitalist yeah it's it's very bad America but I don't tell you that hey guys this is
a very special conversation with Robert Kiyosaki so many of our personal finance Journeys began with his work with his book Rich Dad Poor Dad this was an honor for me and I hope you guys enjoy today's special podcast [Music] Robert kosaki sir welcome to TRS welcome to India thank you that's my honor thank you you have no idea what an honor it is for my whole team to be hosting you oh thank you yeah genuinely i' I've heard you're the Star of India so I'm honored to no no so you're more than welcome you're coming
home you're coming to our studio let me tell you that uh I've had so many friends who've learned about money for the first time through your book that's good yeah through Rich Dad Poor Dad like that's how we started talking about money good and I've seen it changing that person's Journey at that point and then that person went on to change his whole family's life yes yes and I can't and this is just my own Inner Circle so I can't imagine how many Souls you've affected all over the world that's amazing isn't it yeah I
and I um I flunked out of school because I cannot write so imagine to write a book that's sells all over the world and it wasn't that I couldn't write it's my this is I was 15 years old the teachers didn't like what I was writing because I didn't like my teachers and then by the time I got to high school 18 I was still fighting with my teachers so it's just been uh writing has been a LoveHate relationship I think in our eyes it's just a love love relationship thank you based on how many
books you've written yeah uh how do you look back at your own life at this point what has been your contribution to the world according to you I'm I'm I feel humbled uh blessed and honored but also a sense of responsibility to continue on you know there's more work to be done especially like this is my third trip to India I came here once as a businessman and then the second time is teaching and um India is such an intense country and I give a lot of credit to uh Mr Modi who would want to
be the prime minister of India has got to be crazy you know this is this is an intense place but yet you put a man put you put a lunar lander on the moon and uh is this amazing how this country functions as such an ancient Society in modern times you know it's the culture is so Rich it's um it's an honor for me to be here no no we're honored to be hosting you sir what's your advice to the young Indians you've met that's a big part of your fan base well my whole thing
is money and um when I was a young boy you know my poor dad was a PhD you know very smart man he graduated from University in two years very smart man School principal college professor than the head of the whole state of Hawaii for education but as you know we don't teach anything about money at school so when I was a little boy I was about nine or 10 years old I asked my dad I said when you know when can I learn about money and my dad my dad gave me that Christian thing
about the love of money is the root of all evil I said why is it evil I didn't know but he was just repeating what he hadd been taught and the reason I kept asking is because I went to a rich kid school and the kids were white and half of us were asian half were white and the white kids were Rich you know and so I keep I'm nine or 10 years old I ask him my dad I said how come they're rich and we're not but if you stay in school you'll be rich
and I said Dad you stayed in school you're still not rich you know what I mean so there's a lie told to our kids so sometimes it's academic you know you stay in school you be a rich not true and that money is religious well it's not money it's what you do for your money in other words if I was shooting people and murdering people and stealing and that would that'd be not much no good not good money but can I do good and make money money yes so it's not money that's a problem it's
a lack of Education the lack of spirit that's why when I see you do this your spirit comes behind of it that's very important that's your advice to Young India as well no my my advice to Young Indians is this is the best investment in the world today is called Silver okay and the reason I say that is because I'm I I study history a lot this here is fake money I would never work for this stuff it's got It's toilet paper so the biggest investment today is this this is 35 us and I think
everybody in the world can afford this today I tell people every day you should buy this no I save this you see they don't know the difference between this is fake money this is real money and this here is gold real money fake money so the yeah the rupee the dollar the peso all fake so when I was N9 or 10 years old I started fighting that out I said how come they don't teach us money at school well they don't want you to know it's fake okay okay so invest more in silver and gold
that's your big piece that's not that you can't be stupid about money today okay and you look at the extreme poverty around here you know the thing that makes me sad is I go to the slums of Mumbai every country I go to I make a point of going to the slums because I want to see life and the sad thing is over I'm for I'm 76 years old now you look to over oh thank you over all the years those slums are spreading across America today America has as many slums as Mumbai does right
now we have homelessness all that problem and a lot of it is caused because this is fake I mean this is fake so we have so many people working for this fake stuff toilet paper I call it you know but they don't know because our school systems won't tell us so as a young young boy that's what my study was what is this and what is this this is money this is not okay um do you think money is the goal of life no what is the goal of life I it's up to you okay
I only measure my life is how much good do I do okay I don't need money see once you understand your money is up here it's like Mr Tata he doesn't need any more money money is a process it's it's like baking bread you get in you Bak bread you make money but they don't teach you that at school the biggest criminals in the world are School teachers I really don't like school okay I fight with them all the time okay I was just I'm from Arizona in the states 39 professors attacked me because I
was talking about capitalism see most most um School teachers are marxists they're Communists my Padre my poor dad's communist they're not bad people they're just Communists they don't have the money building mindset because they have different ideas on money okay they believe in giving people money yeah okay do you know what I mean yeah that's socialism no for sure I think um you need to earn and multiply money in order to earn mental Freedom am I right that's capitalism yeah and once you have the mental Freedom then you get to decide your real goal of
life it's up to you okay America is one of the most corrupt countries I look at this guy President Biden biggest criminal I've ever seen he's our president he's terrible man okay and the reason I know that it's I'm a capitalist Biden is a communist okay how do I know not what they says about what they do so in 2020 January 2020 this year Biden gets elected he beats my friend here I don't know if you know who this guy is his name is Donald Trump of course very good friend of mine we are capitalists
he's a very good man but the Communists and the Socialists and the crooks hate him very good man okay so in January 2020 this is what Biden did for the world I'm an oil guy also I went to school because I have a I understand oil I own oil wells like Mr Tata see the rich own Commodities okay so there was a pipeline running from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico Biden cut that off what does that mean so you don't know what did he do he cut that pipeline off it sent I was selling
oil in those days for $30 a barrel went to 130 a barrel that's dollars I knew exactly what Biden was doing he was going to destroy the middle class so there'd be two classes of people rich and everybody is poor so Biden is one of these guys here and this man here is a capitalist yeah it's it's very bad in America but I don't tell you that yeah as an American why don't you draw a picture of what you think America is right now and where it's going I tell all the time okay that's that's
for the Indian audiences because you're one of the most respected Americans at least in Indian society and some people yes no generally if someone takes your name in Indian Society see we know you through your books and the YouTube videos made about your books so we have Hindi explanations about Rich Dad Poor Dad like a friend of mine seen actually makes a bunch of them um you're a great representative of America on a world stage at least for us thank you I'm honored I would love to know what you think the future of America is
from the heart of an American what what do I think of what what's the future of your country we're in serious trouble you think so oh God I study money this here I wrote this in 2020 who stole my pension America is bankrupt we're the biggest debtor nation in the world the only nation more in debt than us is Japan stupid Japanese they're say they Japanese save this per capita Japanese save the most money and what happens capitalists like Trump and I it's I don't if you speak the same language but it's called carry trade
so the Japanese save all that little Yen and they buy dollars and guys looking me borrow their money and we invest all over the world Japanese are Savers that's why the that's why Japan's in trouble they're not investors India's in trouble because you don't produce enough money Capital do you have advice for the people in power in India to take care of our future again it's Financial education no you don't hear a word I say it do you the best investment in the world today I'm not kidding you better than real estate better than oil
better than gas is silver all right because I'm giving you early warning this is going down I hear you when this goes down the Ruby goes down with it M okay all right okay so if you want to get rich get silver today best investment of all this is $35 us okay do you have life advice that's it other than other unrelated to money you have to know what money is this is not money this is fake right this is toilet paper okay this is money okay they don't teach you that yeah yeah we have
Robert Kiyosaki for that yes I want I want to ask you about what you take away from India every time you're here because every time you travel you take away something from the country the thing I I said it to you earlier I'm I'm impressed how intense this country is energy intense it's like but it causes you as a people to be very peaceful you see if if you had as many if if every Indian was American American we kill each other does that make sense to you so every time you do this and all
that that is because you are peaceful people and smart yeah it's the best thing you have going for you is this yeah okay uh for every single episode I end up doing a lot of research on my guest's life and every time uh I read about you I noticed how much failure you've come across constantly and then you've woken up from the failure and moved ahead uh in at least the Asian in me would like to think that maybe it's because of your Asian roots and you being connected you know you having that Asian DNA
because it's a very Asian thing to continuously go on it is an American thing as well uh do you look at it in the same way that you're the perfect combination of America and Asia like or am I saying something wrong no no no I don't I mean I don't know how much you know about money okay cuz I'm macro micro is what we do here India today the world is today not tomorrow not next year today the world's breaking in half you have Russia China America Europe it's breaking in half and that's why just
last week was the bricks meeting Brazil Russia India China South Africa India is right in the middle so maybe aagan what it is is I just don't listen to stupid School teachers I don't like school teachers my poor dad was a poor man because he thought he was smart so I go around the world telling people don't listen to your school teacher and I get help for I catch it but I tell people what I know what I believe what I find out and so that's called Integrity Integrity is I will talk to you truthfully
I won't say I like you and I don't like you you know like here my problem I tell people directly I get into so much trouble for it I get hated by a lot of people you know but I don't think that's Japanese that's just being an American I just say this is it that's why Trump and me we're good friends he'll tell you straight okay where is this guy Biden will lie is there any part of you connected to Japanese culture as well not all no okay I don't believe in that stuff okay I
am Japanese by birth I don't play that game you understand I really don't I don't play I'm Asian you're white and all this stuff that's racism okay I think we're people we're human beings that's like you came to America you could pass us white you could pass us Spanish you could pass us Indian but when you judge a person by their race you're a racist I don't like that no fair what is happiness sir I love what I do I don't think I really don't think about those things really yeah I have work to do
you see these here I was a pilot in Vietnam I went to school to kill people okay I killed a lot of people went to military school we think differently I fought for my country I fought against communism they killed us we killed them now I fight with education the same intensity I fight for the freedom of people so if you can understand this I don't care if I live or die I went down three times in Vietnam my friends don't come back I came back to America this is a 1972 I lost so many
friends and the hippies you know the hippies and the peace snaks and all the Maharishi who the who the Beetles went to see they were spitting on us hitting us with eggs so I don't play that game I said I treat everybody with respect you do your job I do my job so when I came back from Vietnam you can tell I'm so little bitter about it eggs were hitting me people were spinning on me and I lost my friends but we fought for our country we fought for freedom if we don't fight for Freedom
we've lost our freedoms that's why I I don't like this guy Biden so just here I have my values you have your values but I fight for the freedom of speech the freedom of religion and none of this racial racial stuff okay I treat the person as they are I said it to you earlier you didn't hear what I said I watch what they do not what they say okay this is cheap I'm a rich man I'm a rich man you know YouTube full of fake people right full of fakes I watch YouTube oh I
make million bucks I A Millionaire all lies that's out of Integrity integrity means you and your word are the same yeah one yeah uh do you think your whole military phase changed something in you with helped the next what did it change discipline I do what I have to do okay that's all that's enough okay how many people cannot do what they say they're going to do yeah I me some people oh someday I'd be millionaire they never make it because oh okay do you think about that phase at all the military phase do you
think about it do you still go back to it I became that what do you mean sir how many people have you killed you have to become somebody else to do that job I saw my friends die we fought and I come back and all those hippies those peace Saks from the Bahar Rishi spitting on us we're doing our job we all have jobs to do like the when I look at the guy on the street cleaning the street he's doing his job honorable man I watch what a person does okay and the person are
they true to their word like this here A young woman gave me I love this thing my most valuable gifts here I don't know if you understand the word integrity you know what integrity means yes what does it mean being good on the inside doing the right thing oh means whole sorry whole gotcha body your mind your words heart your actions one so she gave me this here I Tre treasure this so this is Rich dead poor dead and Bitcoin see the reason I like this is because Bitcoin is blockchain as you know blockchain has
Integrity so I own BL I own Bitcoin because it has integrity no Integrity fake I don't I'm not sure if you understand what I'm saying I do I do sir this is fake America is the biggest de nation in the world what we do is we print we print money and give everybody this it causes poverty if your money is bad it causes poverty it makes their Crooks richer but the poor poor okay are you comfortable talking about the best day of your life not really do you want to keep that private no I don't
I have a lot of best days okay I I don't live that way with you all right I live in my work what am I doing today okay okay I live present time I'm working on another book I wish it didn't have to you wish you didn't have to yes why because I wish there wasn't this I I solve problems the book I'm writing is about how what happened let me explain I don't think you hear word I'm saying few weeks ago 39 College professors attacked me because I was teaching young people like you capitalism
how dare those professors attack me this is in Arizona why because of this poor dad are marxists say they believe everybody should be equal we should all be share every that's lies okay all right you know what I mean so I fight for what I believe is right so I write books to go against those teachers okay one of my books is you know if you my first book if you want to be a rich don't go to school because they're going to teach you to be this you know you know how much grief how
much how many attacks I got how dare you say don't go to school I say because they're teaching to be this it's called freedom of speech okay that's all I ask give me the right to freedom of speech okay um one of the themes that we deal with on my show and I'm saying this with a lot of respect sir but one of the themes is the concept of death you know when you're leaving this planet when you're leaving wherever we are do you think about death no not at all I face it so many
times I crashed three times I've had people put guns to my head I've had to kill people I don't think even you know what it is it's a concept to you I was brought up differently US Marine Corps pilot genuinely I'm saying that again but it's the honor of my life to have you in in my house you've done a lot for the world which is also why I'm asking you about the the kind of world you'd like to leave behind I'm teaching Prosperity happiness money truth schools are this I fought against this would you
like these people to take over India you don't know do you no I do uh I definitely wouldn't want a communist government that's why I came in here I said Mr Modi is so well respected he's a good man yeah I wouldn't want his job let me tell you why I I said it before the world is now split in two it's called braz Uh Russia China America India in the middle India's caught now in the middle of the biggest changes in world history and the war is going to we're we're going to go to
war I can tell already so it's going to be China versus America you guys already know because you have Pakistan you still have Kashmir we're still at War here but if you don't fight people just take everything I wish there wasn't War oh but oh let's live like the Beatles and be P that's not the way life is what's killing America today is all these hippies they say oh there's no more police did you know that they're taking police away from America did you know that and this violence breaks out could you imagine if there
was no police here there' be chaos so so many people live in this fairy fairy little you know if if we could all live like we're in heaven well we don't we live here on planet Earth this a great place I'm having a good time okay there's a lot of work to do here okay to make people's lives better do you think this is a third world war situation Third World War yeah we're going to war right now okay can't you see it Taiwan Ukraine yeah Saudi Arabia because you've been a part of War yourself
I went to school for war I'm an academy graduate this no I don't you know the only certain young men are chosen for the these schools were trained in war okay okay you guys have it too so there's different it's like you train people to be doctors and you train people to be lawyers and electricians every country has a school for Military Officers I was one of the two selected we're trained to kill people okay do you have a message for the world about war like there are people who are listening to you right now
about you speaking about a world war is there a message it's coming you heard of you've heard of Taiwan yes sir okay what are they after there the semiconductors yes raw material so about 20 years ago I was I was living in Portland Oregon Taiwan semic Taiwan semiconductor TSC moved to Arizona so where did I move to Arizona because when the Taiwan sem I'm a capitalist okay when they moved in there the economy boomed because real estate Prosperity depends on jobs am I correct you don't understand word I'm saying do you when Taiwan semiconductor moved
to Arizona I moved to Arizona because it's jobs that's Prosperity so right now China wants Taiwan okay can't you see it I can see it China has building warships all over India's building some good warships also because you have to defend this part of the world or you could say oh we're going to live in peace we're GNA get rid of all of our worships may be overrunning Pakistan run down here but get rid of all of our police you must have strong people Mr mod is a strong man I have a weak man his
name is Biden okay weak leaders this man here Trump strong leader this here is blockchain Bitcoin I have Bitcoin how many Bitcoin do you have I have a fair amount okay good so the reason I buy Bitcoin is because it's got Integrity it holds its shape because of because of blockchain I don't I don't like this here so I go around the world saying to people stop working for this and the school teacher say no you have to work for this get a job get a job get a job but you know and I know
