2:20Robert Kiyosaki:This is the Rich Dad Radio Show. The good news and bad news about money. Here's Robert Kiyosaki.
2:28Eric Meder:Hello, Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad Radio Show. Interestingly, we still call ourselves radio when we're now a podcast, but that's how old the show is. It's been 30 years now. And we had terrestrial and satellite radio. It was big time. Now we're podcasting. But it was a great show today. We have met Glenn and Eric Meter, father and son team. Met them at the New Orleans Investment Conference. and it's a great place to learn more about the world of money, should I say mining especially, gold and silver. You know, gold and silver is on fire right now. And thank God I started buying silver back in 1965.
3:08Eric Meder:And I just don't trust the dollar. But anyway, Glenn and Eric have a very special niche. I really don't know that much about it, but it's about Big Brother. And for those who understand Big Brother is how is Big Brother spying on you. So with technology accelerating, AI accelerating, that there's more and more access to your private life. And so Glenn and Eric, their business per se is how to protect you from Big Brother. And I'd say that's quite, quite important because I'm, you know, just me. and I'm surprised at how many people are trying to get into my world. And I don't know how to defend myself because you can't see them.
3:57Eric Meder:In other words, Big Brother is alive and well, but we can't see them. And how do you protect your privacy? That is the big issue. So welcome, Glenn and Eric.
4:08Robert Kiyosaki:Thank you very much for having us. It's such an honor to be here. Thank you.
4:12Eric Meder:It was my honor because you're a father and son team. You guys educate together. you were with Robert Helms and his goal show, I mean, not goals, how to set goals. And I've never done this course. I should do it. It's a great course I've heard. But it's neat that father and son study together. And I think that is very commendable, very, very commendable. Thank you.
4:33Robert Kiyosaki:Well, I grew up reading your books. Every Sunday, I'd play cashflow with my friends, with Glenn. So, I mean, this is really surreal. And it's, I mean, you're definitely one of my
4:41Eric Meder:biggest heroes so it's it's awesome to be here well i'm i'm in it's it's the feeling is mutual i mean what you guys are doing as father and son is exemplatory because anyway i won't get into father and son relationships because as you know my story is rich ted poor dad i had one dad that was rich and one dad that was poor and never the twain shall meet yeah but anyway um so what about Big Brother, what do you guys know? What is happening on surveillance? And then I guess CBDC, central bank digital currency would fit in there. And what do we have to be afraid of or be cautious of? Or how do you guys protect people from Big Brother?
5:23Robert Kiyosaki:Yeah, absolutely. I think there is a coordinated attack on liberty throughout the world, and it's happening through the digital control grid. Every aspect of our lives is being surveilled constantly. We have smart devices around us that are listening through the microphones, through the cameras. And with AI, they're able to take that information and make a profile on you. And with that, they understand you better than you know yourself. And I've got a personal story about that. So about five, six years ago, I was in culinary school and I was having a pretty depressing day. I went to school and then right after that, I went to work.
6:00Robert Kiyosaki:And the whole day I listened to this song called Rotten Apple by Alison James over and over and over. It's a depressing song. And then I came home from school and I started swiping on TikTok. And then I saw a meme that just slapped me across the face. And it said, when you're a line cook and you listen to Rotten Apple 24 seven, and you want to kill yourself. And I mean, Glenn had told me about privacy and stuff. I understand how social media works with for you feeds, but that was so targeted. I mean, it really, really creeped me out, it was like a Twilight Zone episode. And that's what made me inspired to work with my father and understand this on a deeper level.
6:35Robert Kiyosaki:But if you think about it, my phone's with me all the time. It's listening to what I say. It has Spotify on it, so it knows I'm listening to that song. It knows my location, so it sees that I'm at school. And it can create this profile to manipulate me in ways that have never been possible before with propaganda. Wait, wait.
6:52Eric Meder:Are you saying that this, whatever it was, was getting kids to kill themselves? yes well how tell me about that i've never heard of that what was what is that so basically the way
7:05Robert Kiyosaki:it works ai works glenn always explains it like google maps so with google maps let's say i'm in lincoln nebraska and i want to go to chicago i put in those two locations and it can take me there and it does that for everyone in the world so let's say my mental state is good if they know my profile they can figure out how to send me down a personalized rabbit hole to depravity And that's why we're seeing such massive radicalization with the youth is because in the past, propaganda has always been a thing. You know, the printing press, radio, TV, that allowed for mass propaganda. But now with surveillance technology, with the detailed profiles, there's mass individual propaganda where people are able to go down personalized rabbit holes that take them to an end result, which is depravity and radicalization.
7:47Robert Kiyosaki:And I really think that's why the youth is becoming so radicalized in many different ways. and also commit suicide possibly yes there's a lot of uh lawsuits now that are happening against chat gpt where chat gpt has convinced teenagers to kill themselves and they have and uh the what eric's talking about here is that was tiktok and tiktok has a built-in ai that uh that controls the algorithms? What do people see? And that is not random. That is the AI watches you and it learns you. It understands your emotional state and it can be programmed to take you to a certain mental or emotional state. And so you can imagine President Xi of China saying, okay, we want to destabilize the teens in the West and bring them down this rabbit hole of despair, radicalization and suicide and i believe that's what's happening uh in in tiktok but that shows
8:53Eric Meder:you the power of ai so i mean uh so because eric where you were it targeted you and did you feel self-exually getting more depressed or upset or what was what was what were you going through
9:07Robert Kiyosaki:i mean yes i was in a very bad point in my life already um and i was very depressed i was very anxious, but everything I saw affirmed it. And so I was able to notice that because it was too blatant. Like, I mean, when you're a line cook, I was a line cook, listen to Rotten Apple 24 seven and you want to kill yourself. I mean, that was too on the nose where it kind of like shook me out of it. And I was able to see like, you know, what the heck is this? This is crazy. But what happens with these memes is it just, they, they use humor and relatability and what they're able to do is they slowly, in a way that you can't see, shape how you view the world.
9:43Robert Kiyosaki:And again, I think that's why people are so radicalized. I mean, they're really turning, I mean, kids don't watch the news. A lot of kids don't read. And what they do is they just get fed this information and it slowly just changes how they see the world.
9:58Eric Meder:So, you want to find out more, it's kind of beyond big brother and they can control who is they that's my you know my biggest question i i a lot of the youtube i watch and so there's a they now who's they you know and why so if you look at
10:17Robert Kiyosaki:what's going on in the world right now there is a global push to push digital ids and digital id is something that will anchor you to you anchor your identity to everything that you do online And this is what every country around the world, and we can see this especially in the UK, but it's every country is doing this online. Well, in the U.S., it's happening in the States with these online child safety acts. As you know, when they push these laws, the name of the act is exactly opposite of what it actually does. So the online child safety acts are not about keeping you safe or keeping your children safe.
10:59Robert Kiyosaki:It's about digital surveillance online. And they need to have this in place before they do the CBDC. So they're going to do the CBDC, which will be a control mechanism for each of us. But the first step is the digital ID. And so you can see this globally coordinated event effort. And it is a combination. It's a collusion between Big Brother, the World Economic Forum, Big Tech, Oracle, Google, all of these, Apple, all of them are doing this. Why? To control us. This is the control grid. So this is the ultimate control mechanism that every tyrant throughout history would love to have. and it is they're going to be able to see every single thing we do every thing that we read every post that we make every response how we respond all of that stuff and they're going to be able to uh control us show us what they they want to show us um give us it's like surgical propaganda is really what it is okay and it's not just sorry go ahead go ahead it's not just propaganda either it's it's about surveillance and its control and i really consider it digital collectivism really i mean you look at the uk there's a report that says there's 30 people being arrested for their posts on social media so for example if they're every day every day and so if they're against immigration you post an online someone's going to come with a black van at night and take you to jail um and like glenn told you before i live in budapest and And what I see there is the remnants of communism and communism relies on people snitching on each other.
12:46Robert Kiyosaki:I mean, you couldn't trust your family members because they're designed to turn on you. But with this control grid in place, you don't need that human element because your phones are listening. They know what you type. They know what you text people. And once you have this digital ID, every action is constantly judged by all of these devices. It's really based off of what China has in place right now, which is the Chinese social credit system.
13:09Eric Meder:yeah so it's a new world yeah so who is they who is big brother
13:15Robert Kiyosaki:it's it's the collusion between the the the elites the uh the the behind the scenes elites like uh tony blair tony blair has been behind this for a long time yeah uh john carrey uh there's there's a lot of people the world economic forum the governments around the world i think one of the things that is happening that is taking the time the the reason they're not just rolling it all at once is because uh just since the federal reserve is a cartel of banks what they're doing now is they're going country by country to really get a cartel of the bad powerful people and get that system in place and they're they're the ones that are working on this behind the scenes
14:02Eric Meder:You know, I still know who they is or why they want to do it. But I just saw that Newsom, California, they're going to put a control tax on everything you own. So it goes not only to surveillance, but to figure out what you own, they're going to need that surveillance. Then they can tax it. They can tax it. So you see the pieces of it, but I don't know who they is yet. I was talking to a friend. He's a very, very good friend for years. He didn't make any sense today. I mean, he was so radical liberal. He's an ex-Marine pilot. He was so radically liberal. I mean, one plus one didn't fit. who he's become in the last five or six years.
15:04Eric Meder:But, I mean, he was already kind of leaning liberal, but now he's a whack job. And it makes no sense. He can't put one plus one together. And so I'm wondering if that's what you're talking about, the target or they can't, they, again, and they search for the weak or the inclined to be programmed, should we say, and we all are, to get us on something that they can get to our heart and soul in. Is that what kind of big brother is? They figure out your core strengths and weaknesses and pet peeves and things that'll piss you off or upset you, and they go after that, and they get into your heart and soul.
15:51Robert Kiyosaki:Absolutely. Yeah, I actually have made like an entire passion project around trying to teach the youth about how to avoid this manipulation. And it's just, you're exactly right. I mean, you look at there's articles talking about how Facebook has sold advertisers lists of teens that are deemed insecure. insecure. And so, first of all, why is Facebook targeting kids that are insecure or profiling them as insecure? And then why would they want to sell that data? It's because, like you said, they're vulnerable and vulnerable people can be malleable to propaganda and agendas.
16:26Eric Meder:Okay. So, Glenn and Eric, we've now identified Big Brother as they, whoever they are, and who they target. But when I come back, you guys have programs to, is it self-defense or to not be programmable or to how to know when you're being programmed. So we come back with the Rich Dad Show. We'll be talking to Glenn and Eric Meter about the Big Brother attack upon our privacy, our lives, everything. We'll be right back.
17:02Robert Kiyosaki:For years, I warned the biggest crash in history was coming. People laughed. They said I was overreacting. But today, the crash has arrived. It's not only the United States. Europe is cracking. Asia is cracking. Jobs are disappearing. AI is wiping out entire career paths. And when the jobs vanish, real estate collapses. Offices empty. Homes fall. Banks get hit next. This is exactly what I wrote in Rich Dad's Prophecy back in 2013. Everything I warned about is unfolding. Millions will lose everything because they stayed in paper assets. They trusted Wall Street. They trusted politicians. They trusted the Fed that saved them.
17:36Robert Kiyosaki:The Fed is out of moves. Inflation is rising again. Debt is over$38 trillion. The dollar is weakening fast, and the old system is breaking. But here's the good news. If you are prepared, the crisis will be the greatest wealth-building opportunity of your life. This is why I keep telling people to buy gold and silver. Gold is soaring in 2025, and I expect even bigger gains in 2026. Silver is$50 today. I predict$70 soon, and possibly$200 in 2026. Most people will panic, but prepared will get rich. If you want to be on the right side of the crash, get the 2025 Rich Dad Wealth Defense Guide. You can add gold or silver to your IRA or 401k legally, tax-free, and penalty-free.

19:37Eric Meder:Welcome back, Robert Kisak for the show. Our guests today, Glenn and Eric Meter. We're talking about Big Brother, the advancement of, let's say, AI for a general term, and surveillance, but how it can really radicalize or even program some people to take suicide or actually take somebody else's life, possibly. so you get programmed to be a robot and I met Glenn and Eric at the New Orleans Investment Conference and that's a great program for those who are in my business which is mining not Bitcoin mining but I own gold mines I used to own a silver mine I didn't lose it I sold that one but I'm going to I'm going to be at the VRIC the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference on January 25th and 26th So if you want to come and find out more about this world of silver and gold, which is my world, because it's hard to program silver and gold, maybe it is.
20:38Eric Meder:But anyway, I'll be speaking at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference January 25th and 26th. So we're talking about Big Brother and surveillance. You guys have a company, solutions for it. What can a person do to protect themselves from Big Brother?
20:57Robert Kiyosaki:So the first thing is awareness. You have to become aware of what the issue is. You have to be aware of the threats that face you online. And so it's, we talk about Big Brother, but it's big tech and there's hackers and scammers and they all want the same thing. They all want your data. And then they take your data and they weaponize your data against you. So you have to really figure out how to not give them your data. And really, there's things that you can learn. There's skills that you can do, but there's mindset things. There's tools that you can use, all of that stuff. And I'll give you an example here.
21:35Robert Kiyosaki:This might be a little bit more advanced, but I think it's very important that you change the computer that you use. because computers, so Windows now has Copilot on it. Copilot is built-in AI on your computer. It takes a screenshot every second, and the AI that lives on your computer analyzes that, and it's doing that for a purpose, and it's doing that to learn about you. And this is part of this whole thing that they're doing. Apple does this. Windows does this. And so Linux, I mean, I think it's very important that this is not maybe the first step, but eventually people should move over to Linux.
22:19Robert Kiyosaki:And there's some very good Linux is a different operating system, but it's really good. Nowadays, it's very good. And there's specific versions of Linux that we recommend. But that is a way to stop the surveillance on you that's happening every second.
Read the full transcript
22:35Eric Meder:So one last one, well, that's far beyond my pay grade in Linux and all that stuff. Okay. I barely turn on my cell phone. But that's the one thing I noticed when I go into a retail outlet, they say, may I have your phone number? Yeah. Is that part of it too?
22:52Robert Kiyosaki:Yeah, absolutely. So I never give them my phone number. I always do like my area code and then 8-6-7-5-3-0-9 or just 5-5-5-5-5-5-5 or something like that. But yeah, you're right. You don't want to give them your phone number. Yeah. What they're trying to buy is your purchasing patterns. I mean, that's data that they want to know. And I think it was Kroger, right? I mean, Kroger made a ridiculous amount of money on the data. I mean, it's not, I think it was like over 10 % of like all their profit. I don't know exactly on the number. $700 million is what Kroger makes on selling your data. Wow. Yeah.
23:28Eric Meder:So I have a bad habit as I shop online. So that opened me up again.
23:32Robert Kiyosaki:Yeah. I mean, so there's two threats to that. I mean, one, like what we just said with Kroger is they want to collect your data. But then the other side is hackers and scammers and thieves. And so what people make the mistake of is they reuse their password. They use their real credit or debit card. They use their email address for everything. And then basically, if one of those get compromised, all of them are compromised. So what we do personally is we have a service that creates a fake email address for everyone that we use. And it actually forwards it to our email address. We use burner debit cards for every transaction.
24:05Robert Kiyosaki:It's actually super easy once you use the software. And basically, we have no threat vector because we've obfuscated all of the data. If I purchase something, it just says, you know, Will Smith and a different card number than mine and a different email address. So I don't have any threat, really. But if we can keep it simple, let's just keep it simple right now. So the first thing you should do is maybe use the Brave browser instead of Chrome or instead of Safari, something like that. Don't use Google.com. Use the brave search engine. Those are two things that I think are very good. De-Google yourself.
24:43Robert Kiyosaki:Just learn how to get away from Google. I think that would be a very big step too. Yeah. And one of the most simple things you can do is just have a webcam cover. And there's also another thing called a microphone blocker where it blocks the microphone from spying on you. But low-tech and hardware solutions like a webcam cover that stops the camera from working, that's fantastic. because you can't hack a webcam cover off.
25:05Eric Meder:So what service do you guys provide? Because here I am going, okay, so if that stops me from being an online shopper and then I go to the retail outlet, they get my credit card there anyway. Do you know what I mean? We're wide open. And so it's to say, don't use your credit card. That's kind of ridiculous. There's only so much you can do on that side. So what service do you guys provide that, uh, on how they get in touch with you,
25:36Robert Kiyosaki:what should I say? So we teach people how to do it in bite-sized steps. I mean, the biggest problem that people make is they try to jump into the deep end. They want to get a Linux computer or phone. They want to do it all at once. And it's, it's not right. I mean, you, you want to take baby steps. You want to take bite-sized pieces and then you can go as far as you want. Uh, I don't believe in like elitism with privacy. There's a lot of people that say, oh, you have to do everything or it's worthless. The key is you figure out your threat model, whatever you want to do, and then take the steps needed.
26:05Robert Kiyosaki:And so that's what we help with. Go ahead.
26:08Eric Meder:How do they get in touch with Glenn and Eric Meter? How do they get in touch with you guys? How do they access you? Privacyacademy.com. Privacyacademy.com.
26:18Robert Kiyosaki:Yes.
26:19Eric Meder:And what do you get for that?
26:21Robert Kiyosaki:We have a series. It's all about education. So we have a series of courses, how to do this, just lessons. We have recorded lessons. We have live lessons. And we can work with you one-on-one. But we can help you learn how to protect yourself from online hackers, thieves, and scammers, Big Tech, and Big Brother. All three of them are very important to protect yourself against. And that's what we show you how to do. How much does that cost? um the the core program well we've got different programs but 49 a month is is really the core
27:00Eric Meder:program 49 a month and does it protect you or what does it do it gives you it gives you access
27:06Robert Kiyosaki:to the training that gives that allows you to protect yourself yeah the training but it doesn't protect you without the training well the first thing you need to know is you need to know how to think about this and you need to there are just certain things that you need to do and ways to think and understand how to stop the data flow yeah so that's what i understand the problem and the solution we teach you how to use the software like if you do want to use a linux computer we'll show you how to load it onto your own device transition over to it so uh the problem and then also the solution aspect of it that was hackers academy again well privacy
27:48Eric Meder:Academy. Privacyacademy.com. Yeah, don't go to Hackers Academy. Everybody sign up for that one, wouldn't they?
28:03Eric Meder:Anyway, it's such a brave new world we live in. Big Brother is watching. What you're saying is disturbing, especially since you're vulnerable everywhere.
28:16Robert Kiyosaki:Yes.
28:17Eric Meder:You know, like I have this one friend who started to protect the kids' iPhones from porno, whatever they put on those things. But, you know, before you could lock your door. Now you can't lock your door.
28:30Robert Kiyosaki:Yeah.
28:31Eric Meder:Because it just comes right through. So any final words there? Anything else you would like to advise people, what they should know, what you see coming, and what the threats are?
28:43Robert Kiyosaki:Yeah, absolutely. I think the threat is that everything is becoming centralized. And so I define a smart device as the ability to surveil you and then the ability to control you. And a good way to look at that is like, if you look at a car from the eighties, it's very simple. You know, you turn the ignition, the car turns on, you turn the wheel, the wheels turn, but now it's a computer on wheels. So what does that mean? It can be controlled like a computer can. And so, uh, you know, they can limit how far you drive. They can limit how fast you drive. They can limit everything because it is a smart device.
29:15Robert Kiyosaki:And what's happening is all of these data points are centralizing. And that means all the centralized power is going to a small group of people. So right now we're seeing an extreme centralization of power. And basically, it's all going to say that privacy is really being ignored right now. But I think it is the biggest issue to liberty. I think it's the backbone to what's creating and could create the most powerful collectivist society ever. And if you care about your personal liberty, I really urge you to learn about the dangers and opt out of that awful future.
29:49Eric Meder:And one second, that's called Privacy Academy. Yes, yes. Final words, Glenn, any words of warning?
29:59Robert Kiyosaki:Yeah, I would say that what we talked about, it is kind of a dark topic. but we are optimistic. I think we will be able to preserve liberty. We as a society will be able to preserve liberty if we become aware of this issue. And if we take the steps to stop really this digital ID, all of that stuff. So I think we have to get our own house in order, but then we have to work on the state level to stop the digital ID.
30:32Eric Meder:And so. So let me ask you this question then. let's say the fed comes up with cbdc central bank digital currency what can a citizen do
30:44Robert Kiyosaki:yeah so i think i think having working on a local level i don't think there's really much we can do on the federal level unfortunately i think it's all the local level the state level the constitution supports local and decentralized power structures so i i encourage people to focus on the on the state level and we can have local economies that are maybe parallel to the to the other uh to the to what they want to put in place but you know gold maybe we do uh gold backs um and silver yeah and we i think we just have to have we we have to fight back we have to ensure that the states protect our our rights from the encroachment of the world economic forum in the federal government.
31:34Robert Kiyosaki:That's a big,
31:35Eric Meder:big test here. I think I'd rather call privacy academy.com. Right. And I think the step is you have to get more educated to it or more aware of it first, which is what you're doing. Anyway, big brothers here, big brothers talking to us. And I, the funny thing is they have whole banks of my AI now. And I saw an AI of me pop up. And my friend called me and says, man, I never saw you sound so intelligent.
32:14Eric Meder:It was an AI of me. It basically synthesized 10 things I said down to one important point. So I thought I was laughing my butt off, but it's not funny another level. But AI is making me more intelligent even though it's not me. So Glenn and Eric Meter, again, is Privacy Academy. Please go and check them out. I think the first step is, as you guys say, is understand the problem to get educated. Yep. Okay. So thanks for your dedication, young men, both men, father and son.

34:47Eric Meder:Welcome back. Once again, thank you to Eric and Glenn Meter. of Privacy Academy, I think the recommendation is solid. Understand the problem first before you do anything. So again, I met them at the New Orleans Investment Conference in New Orleans, and I'll be heading to the VRIC. It won't be an AAF me. I'll really impersonally be at the VRIC on January 25th and then 26th. And also I'll be in Charlotte, North Carolina, February 3rd for the Aspire Tour. The Aspire Tour in Charlotte, North Carolina, February 3rd. It won't be the AI of me. It'd be the real me.
35:34Eric Meder:So it is a brave new world. And Big Brother is watching. And I get the funny feeling every time I use my credit card or I'm asking my phone number I just don't know what they're going to do. But we all know it's coming. And there's always a good and a bad to everything. But unfortunately, like anything, the bad is more profitable than the good a lot of the times. So it's like when the World Wide WWW came up, the first thing that popped up on it was porno. And it's because it sells. So with this World Wide Web and Big Brother is watching and all that, it'll do a lot of good. But first comes the bad.
36:19Eric Meder:So please be aware. Be careful. I make no recommendations. But check out the Privacy Academy. And I wholeheartedly endorse the first suggestion. Get educated about what the problem is. Because Big Brother is watching. Thank you for watching Rich Dad Radio Show.
36:40Glenn Meder:This podcast is a presentation of Rich Dad Media Network.
From the publisher
Technology is changing faster than most people realize—and not always in ways that protect freedom or privacy. In this episode, Robert Kiyosaki, Glenn, and Eric Meder explore how artificial intelligence, digital surveillance, and centralized systems are quietly reshaping society, finance, and personal autonomy.
The conversation dives into how everyday tools like smartphones, digital IDs, and AI-driven platforms collect data, influence behavior, and create systems of control that few people fully understand. You'll hear why these changes aren't just about convenience or efficiency, but about power, visibility, and who ultimately controls information and money.
Rather than focusing on speculation or fear, this episode emphasizes awareness. It breaks down how digital tracking, financial monitoring, and emerging technologies like CBDCs could impact privacy, decision-making, and personal freedom if left unquestioned. The discussion also highlights why understanding these systems matters now—not later.
If you've ever felt uneasy about how much technology knows about you, or wondered where digital systems are heading, this episode offers perspective and context rarely discussed in mainstream media. It's not about rejecting technology—but about understanding it before it shapes your future without your consent.
