Summary

What if we told you it was illegal for Americans to own gold for decades—and that your government confiscated it without paying full value?

In this eye-opening episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with Wall Street insider Chris Whalen, author of Inflated: Money, Debt, and the American Dream. Backed by a recommendation from Jim Rickards, Chris pulls back the curtain on the hidden history of U.S. monetary policy, including how gold was seized under FDR, why the dollar became the world’s reserve currency, and the dark consequences of endless debt.

You’ll also learn how empty commercial buildings, REIT instability, and record credit card debt are threatening the American dream—and why the middle class is vanishing.
This is a must-watch conversation if you want to understand what’s really going on with the economy, the Fed, and your money.

00:00 Introduction
02:31 The Truth About the Federal Reserve
04:04 The Evolution of Money and Debt
08:35 The Changing American Dream
13:11 The Crisis in Commercial Real Estate
24:14 The Impact of Tariffs and Trade Wars
29:53 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Silver is still 50% below its all-time high—but that window may be closing fast. As demand surges across solar, EVs, AI, and even medicine, governments are quietly stockpiling silver… and supply is shrinking. Rich Dad believes silver could hit $70 this year—and smart investors are getting in before the next breakout. Priority Gold’s FREE Rich Dad Silver Forecast Guide reveals why silver is poised to 2x—and how to move part of your IRA or 401(k) into silver tax- and penalty-free (U.S. Residents Only).
