I'm Robert Kiyosaki, the Rich Dad Radio Show, the good news and bad news about money.

1:04And today we have two very special guests. Like they're young enough to meet my sons because Donald Trump Sr. and I are the same age. But we have Clay Clark and Eric Trump. Let me explain what Clay Clark does. Clay is out in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He's a hardcore educator of entrepreneurship. And, you know, Clay, the best thing you can say about a teacher is what do their students do? And your students are kicking ass. And so to your congregation, I call it a congregation because what Clay Clark has out there is almost a church. It's a religious experience to talk about entrepreneurship and capitalism.

1:47And please tell your group, if you cut them, they bleed red, white, and blue. They're so hardcore capitalist. America, they make America rich again and all that. So, Clay, fantastic. So, welcome to the show, Clay. I really do appreciate you, Robert. And, Robert, I want you to know all 77 counties in Oklahoma voted for Trump. So, it is true. If you cut an Oklahoman, they will bleed red, white, and blue. So they're solid, solid, solid good people. You know, Bill O 'Reilly talked about just recently about how evil is taking over America. And with that, we lead to my friend Eric Trump. And Don Trump Jr.

2:28and Eric Trump and I have seen the best and the worst of each other. I mean, Don Jr. and Eric have taken me to their home at Trump Tower. and Eric invited me to his wedding at Mar-a-Lago. And you guys are like kings. I mean, I have never seen such wealth as your family puts out, but it doesn't go to their heads. And Don Jr. and Eric Trump and I, we would fly through this private island in Hawaii. There's no toilets, no running water. You get to know each other fairly well. You start to stink immediately. You have to eat what you kill. And Don Jr. and Eric Trump are solid, solid, solid young men.

3:16I still remember you guys were going through a Walmart or something in Kauai, Hawaii. So I said, Trump, and they're the most gracious people, both Don Jr. and Eric. And I went hunting with them upstate New York, and both Don Jr. and Eric go in the back where the workers are working. And they say hello to all the workers. But Don Jr. and Eric are the most gracious young men and a great example of America. Yeah, thank you, my friend. Thank you. It's very nice. His father and I have written two books together. There was going to be a third book. But one day I was talking to your dad. He says, I'm sorry, Robert.

4:01I'm running for president. I said, I'll drop to my knees and pray for you tonight. And now I see what he's done and tell you, Dad, I'm so proud of him. Thank you. Thank you. Absolutely. He's brought more peace to this world. He's got the guts. Whereas, you know, you can tell what a person is, but what they do, your father puts a wall up and Biden takes the wall down. And then now they have to send in ICE agents to bring these people out of here. Yeah. And they get shot at. And the last thing I want to plug is that Charlie Kirk and I did an event at Arizona State University, and it was the professors, 39 professors attacked us.

4:42They told the students at Arizona State that if you showed up for Charlie Kirk and myself speaking on capitalism, they'd fail them. So I had to call in. My legislature stepped in there. Carrie Lake was one of them. She works with your dad now. but to go after the professors at Arizona State. This is my long introduction to say, we're in trouble. And we have evil, as Bill was saying. He keeps saying evil is when evil happens, when evil goes after people doing good things. And both Clay and Eric, you guys are doing great, great work for people. So honored to have you on my program. Thanks so much, Robert.

5:27Yes. I got to ask, what's it like? There's no kings. What's happening?

5:33Eric Trump:I mean, you know, obviously, Robert, we're going to talk about it a little while. I wrote a book called, you know, Under Siege. And the siege that they put us under is normally what kings try and do to people, not, you know, democracy. So I find it highly, highly, highly ironic. I mean, you know, my father has created the greatest economy we've ever had, you know, brought inflation down to normal levels. I mean, under Joe Biden, you know, the inflation was at 10%. I mean, you know, median incomes was going up by about 3%. Inflation was going up by 10%. So everybody in the world was getting crammed down by 7%, unless you're one of the guys like us who own hard assets, right?

6:05Eric Trump:But it was destroying everybody. Energy costs were destroying absolutely everybody. You couldn't find a two by four at a Home Depot, right? The supply chain problem run by Pete Buttigieg, you know, who happened to take paternity leave while, you know, you had hundreds of boats outside the port of LA, was crushing absolutely everybody. And you had wars all over the world. You'd never had any wars under my father. In fact, my father was one guy who never got into war. But you saw what happened with Russia and Ukraine and how that that war broke out. And you saw how the Middle East went from total stability under my father in his first term to total lack of stability.

6:38Eric Trump:And you saw men my size start swimming in women's sports. And you saw DEI ruin every corporate, you know, every company around the country. And you saw, you know, these movements to defund law enforcement. and you saw absolutely anarchy and we lost all our respect. We lost respect of America around the world. And, you know, it's really interesting. My father comes in and what does he do? You know, he restores democracy. He, first of all, has the popular vote. He wins every swing state, right? I mean, it was every state in the country went to the right. It was an absolute mandate. It was one of the greatest political beatings in the history of the country.

7:14Eric Trump:And now we've got normal inflation. We've got the largest tax reduction in the history of our nation across the board. You know that better than anybody. You see, drill, baby, drill. It's working because energy costs are coming down tremendously. We're becoming energy independent again. We're energy independent under my father's first term. And then we lost that because Biden decided to cripple the energy industry. Now we're energy independent again. We're actually exporting energy for the first time again. And all these industries are coming back to America. So crypto industry is obviously being embraced by America and leading the way, which I'm really proud of because I'm part of it.

7:48Eric Trump:The energy industry, and I'm not just talking about oil and gas. I'm talking about nuclear SMRs are leading the way. We appear in the Middle East again. We're respected again. I don't know. I don't think this is something that a king would do. I think this is something that a great leader would do. You know, we're far from kings. I mean, listen, kings have perpetual terms in office. My father's going to be out of there in a three-year period of time. But it is infuriating to see these people, these men dressed up in tutus, destroying our streets and acting like idiots. It's hard to imagine that they're taken seriously by anybody.

8:23So anyway, the way Clay Clark and Eric and I got together was out in Tulsa. So if you cut those, you cut your—I shouldn't call them a congregation, but it was real spirituality. Clay, your group are really spiritual, good, hardworking people. And that was fantastic. I just love them. So please say hello to them for me. And what you're doing out there is how we fight back. The reason Eric's father and I wrote two books together is we have to teach capitalism. You know, we have to teach capitalism. And Clay, you're doing a great job of teaching capitalism. So what are you up to these days since I last saw you in Tulsa?

9:12Please hello to your congress. Well, first off, Robert, I brought props for today's show. So this is prop number one, okay? Robert, your book here, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and Eric's read the book too, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, but your Rich Dad Investor's Guide, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, your book actually changed my life. And I'm going to put this up here. You can take a screenshot. No, I'm serious. I read this book. Eric, I think your father required you to read Rich Dad, Poor Dad as well. and all I know is I read your book and I grew up without money and I thought, you know what? I could go from an employee to being self-employed, to being a business owner, to being an investor and I've done it.

9:49And along the way, I've met some great people, but if it wasn't with, for your roadmap, it really, I probably would not be where I am today. And so I just want everyone to know you absolutely changed my life and everybody needs to know that. Also Eric's book. And I mean, this is not a shameless plug. This is real and it's shameless. Eric's book, in his book, he talks about how he runs a company while being perpetually under siege. And that's one thing in your book that I didn't get. And this isn't a criticism of your book. I just didn't recognize when you have hundreds of employees that every day you would be kind of under siege.

10:22Now, your home's not going to get raided by the FBI, and you're not going to be sued and subpoenaed. Eric is, I think, America's most subpoenaed person. But when you're self-employed, you are perpetually under siege. And Eric, in your book, you have an entire chapter in this thing devoted to talking about how you are a husband, a business guy, the son of the president, but yet you found a way to compartmentalize. Eric, could you explain that? Because to me, in this book, that's a life-changing chapter for somebody.

10:49Eric Trump:Yeah, listen, you learn to compartmentalize Not because you necessarily want to Because you learn you have to, Clay Again, I thought when my father came to me When I was 33 years old and said, honey, I want you to run the company I'm going to go do something else I want to run for president, I need you to run the company And you're the right guy, you built all our assets You managed most of our teams I want you to take it over I thought I had this glorious life, especially after winning Of, hey, go run the hotels, go build the hotels Build the golf courses And never did I ever think I was going to be exactly that under siege.

11:18Eric Trump:Never did I think I was going to get 112 subpoenas. Never did I think that they were going to try and bankrupt our company, come after us, leak all of our tax returns. The IRS leaked all my father's tax returns, all of my tax returns. 90 corporate employees, they leaked every one of their tax returns to the New York Times and to other media outlets. They made up the Russian dossier. They said we had secret servers in the basement of Trump Tower communicating with the Kremlin. It was nonsense. They made up the dirty dossier, which was that my father was doing unthinkable things that he wasn't. Hillary Clinton was paying for that and the Democrats were paying for that.

11:50Eric Trump:Never did I think that we were going to get indicted 91 times for doing nothing wrong. Never did I think I was going to have a judgment of$600 million thrown on our company for paying off every loan for making Deutsche Bank hundreds of millions of dollars for lenders who came in and testified in the courtroom that we were platinum borrowers, that we were the best of the best, and that we were considered the golden whale. Everybody wanted our business because we were so good at what we did. Never did I think that was going to happen. Never did I think we were going to lose our First Amendment right, our freedom of speech.

12:18Eric Trump:Never did I think that they were going to gag order us in every jurisdiction. Never did I think that they were going to come after us with every DA in New York, every DA in AG, in Fulton County, Georgia, in Washington, D.C., and try and make our lives hell. And guess what, guys? You have to compartmentalize. The question is, you don't have a choice sometimes. Sometimes you just have to fight certain battles. And that's what I had to do. I had to go out and I had to fight these battles. And thank God we won every single one of them. We won the indictments. We overturned the judgments. We created our own social media platforms.

12:53Eric Trump:We beat these guys. And then we came back to have the most decisive victory in the history of politics in 2024. So not only did we win the siege and not only did we beat them and survive what was intended to otherwise kill us, but we came back to win the entire thing and the world's a better place because of it. Well, I can't read your book, Under Siege. I mean, because I know you and your brother intimately, like when you're sleeping on the sand and you're eating what you killed that day and there's no toilets and you're hot and stinky and these guys do not ask for anything. And then you go to their home at Mar-a-Lago because they went to Eric's wedding and then they go to Trump Tower.

13:37I hate to say this, Eric, you guys look like kings.

13:43Eric Trump:We're not kings. No kings. No kings. We're not kings. I want nothing to do with politics. No kings. But you guys definitely are capitalists is the big difference. And that's what Clay teaches. I mean, Clay, what you're doing with your group out there is spectacular. So your father, Eric, we fight back by teaching capitalism. And that's what Clay's doing. That's what you're doing, Eric, and all this. So Clay and Eric, you guys are doing an event out in Anaheim or something? Anaheim, California. It's Thrivetimeshow.com. That's the website. It's Thrivetimeshow.com. And for anybody, Robert, this is for your audience here.

14:21Anybody who does buy a copy of this book, Under Siege, if you text me proof of purchase to my cell phone, Robert, We're going to keep this private between you and Eric and me and your audience. This is my cell phone number. If they text proof of purchase to my cell phone number, they're entered in for a chance to win a backstage pass to the business conference. That's December 4th and 5th, Anaheim. It's Anaheim, California. And it's going to be a packed house. We'll have about 500 entrepreneurs there. We're going to teach you finance and marketing and sales and search engine optimization. Everything you need to know to start and grow a successful company.

14:54Again, that website is ThriveTimeShow.com. So you buy a copy of Under Siege right here, and then you text me proof of purchase, and you're entered in for a chance to win a backstage pass. And Robert, our events, they're$250 for a ticket or whatever price that you can afford to pay. So if you're in a tight spot, we'll help you out too. So it's going to be a blasty blast. It's a two-day interactive workshop. And at the last one, Eric broke down time management, promoting from within, finance, branding, marketing. It really is a profound opportunity to hear from somebody who runs a multibillion-dollar organization.

15:25And I would describe the event, Robert, as life-changing. One more time. When is it? And what was Anaheim and what that would happen? Anaheim, California. Anaheim, California, December 4th and 5th. So the month of Christmas, December 4th and 5th. That's Thrivetimeshow.com. Anaheim, California, December 4th and 5th. Thrivetimeshow.com. Okay. So we come back. We'll be going more into, we fight back by getting rich. we fight back by being capitalist. And the difference between a Marxist and a capitalist is this. Marxists are very feminine. Capitalists are masculine. And, you know, capitalists fight by, you know, they don't fight with their feelings.

16:16They fight with facts. And that's different than a capitalist and a Marxist. is they fight, capitalists have to fight with the facts, and these Marxists fight with their purse. I mean, their feelings. So we'll be right back, and more with Clay and Eric. Thank you. We'll be right back. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

17:30Welcome back, welcome back. Our guest today, Clay Clark, is from Tulsa. I went to his event. I mean, it's a spectacular compound he's got out there. I mean, it's massive. And Eric Tromper, I met Eric long before that, but we're speakers together at Clay Clark's place. And the reason we're talking about this is what's in the news today is no kings. But the thing is, both Clay, Eric, myself, and your dad, we want people to have the same. It's called capitalism. And so that's why you're having this event in Anaheim in December. We fight for capitalism. But I'll give you my story here because I wore this in special for you guys here.

18:11Vietnam, Class of 66. So when I was 19 years old, I was shipped off to Vietnam. I was a midshipman, a student, and killed a lot of people. I was a U.S. Marine, and we lost a lot of friends. My classmates didn't come back. But when we came back, the reason Under Siege is so accurate as the title, Eric, and was when we landed back in the States, at Northern Air Force Base in north of San Francisco. The hippies hit us with rotten eggs and spit on us. And so for about five years, we got spit on, hit with eggs and all this. And these hippies are today our leaders. I make a joke about it, and I don't know if it's true or not.

19:03But I remember I'm walking through the hippies are hitting us with these freaking rotten duck eggs. They're horrible. And spitting us. And I jokingly say, I think I saw Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi out there. Highly likely. They're now leaving our country. So we really are more than under siege right now. We're coming apart. And we have now a mayor running for the city of New York. Hardcore Marxist. And gentlemen, I'm honored to be part of the show with you today because let's fight back with education. Let's teach people to get rich because that's what we do here. So once again, Clay, tell us what's going to happen in Anaheim with you and Eric out there.

19:48Well, I just, I mean this sincerely, you know, Eric and I had a chance to connect because we did 20 some odd events together, these reawaken America events. And, you know, when you're stage side talking to somebody before they go on the stage, Eric and I are talking about to-do lists, our incredible families, our great kids. We're talking about growing companies, promoting from within. And we're talking about management and all these sorts of things. And I think that a lot of times people think that Eric, and I'm not putting words in your mouth, but I think people think that Eric is this political figure.

20:16But I would say, Eric, I think you're most comfortable, what, hunting, growing companies, cheering on your team, cheering on our country. And I just thought, you know what? People need to hear that side of Eric Trump. And so I invited Eric to come to our business conferences and people said to me, they said, Clay, I had no idea that Eric was running a multi-billion dollar company with thousands of employees. And I said, yeah. And he started doing it at the age of 33. And by the way, his father was teaching him how to grow and to mold him into that role. Starting at what age 12, Eric's working on construction sites.

20:49He's cutting rebar at the age of 13. He's building walls at the age of 14. So really, when you come to our workshops, what you're going to learn is Eric does a phenomenal job teaching about just the brass tacks of time management, does a great job talking about managing an organization, and then does a great job casting a vision for your business and for our country. Even despite the fact our country's under siege, Eric, your father is building a big, beautiful ballroom and paying for it himself. So despite the fact you're under siege, you still have this great vision for America. So if you're watching this right now and you feel stuck and you're going, I don't know what poor choices I've made, but somehow I found myself on Thrivetimeshow.com.

21:27I'm telling you, buy a ticket and your life is going to change. Just like your book, Robert Kiyosaki, your book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Changed My Life. I promise you these interactive, two-day interactive business workshops can change your life. And although as a country, we're going through a lot, and it can be heavy, Eric does a phenomenal job of teaching you how to navigate being under siege while doing it with a smile on your face and having a great vision for a great America that I believe we can build together one business at a time. And let me add one more thing. It's like our problem is academics.

21:58It's the Marxists who run our school system. I don't know if you know this, but the Federal Reserve Bank teaches finance at Harvard. And the Fed is one of the, you know, I have some comments about the end of the Fed. But anyway, I was on stage with Charlie Kirk in Phoenix, Arizona, at Arizona State University, and it was the professors that came after us. So here's this young guy, Charlie Kirk, was he 31? Somebody takes him out. You go, holy mackerel. It could have been a schoolteacher. We've gone so far left Marxist. I wrote a book called The Capitalist Manifesto, And what I found out is in 1930, Columbia University's Teachers College invited from the Frankfurt School in Germany, they invited professors who teach Marxism to Columbia University's Teachers College.

22:56So that was in 1930. And actually, the class of 66 in Vietnam were protesting. It was Kent State. Protests broke out all over the world. They hate America. they hate us. They hate, you know, like my poor dad was an academic. And what he hated was that a guy like me, or my rich dad especially, my rich dad never went to school, but he was a rich man. And all an academic has is a PhD. When you think about the vast differences, plus you have AI coming in right now, and all those doctors and lawyers and all that, they're going to lose their jobs. So what Clay you're doing, what Eric you guys are doing, we have to teach capitalism.

23:44We must teach entrepreneurship. This is my book here, Midas Touch, about teaching entrepreneurship. We fight back with education because our education is rotten, cancerous right now. Any comments there, Eric?
