Robert Kiyosaki on Financial Literacy, Wealth Building, and the Failure of Education
<p>I sat down with Robert Kiyosaki, author of <em>Rich Dad Poor Dad</em>, to discuss his perspective on financial literacy, the future of the economy, and why most people have been misled about what it takes to build wealth. He explains how the traditional higher education path misleads average Americans about where to find real opportunity and leaves them unprepared for economic realities. Robert has found success leveraging debt to build assets that generate cash flow and highlights how the rich use these strategies to get wealthier while the middle class struggles. He also discusses the looming financial challenges for Baby Boomers and why the global economy is on the verge of a major shift.</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Follow Robert on X (formerly Twitter): <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/theRealKiyosaki">https://x.com/theRealKiyosaki</a></p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Outline:</p><p>[0:00] Our financial system is run by smart idiots</p><p>[4:01] The most important piece of financial literacy</p><p>[9:47] The rich don’t work for money, they create assets</p><p>[16:49] Marxist schools can’t teach financial literacy</p><p>[20:49] Assets, debt, and cash flow</p><p>[24:02] Financial success is about emotional strength</p><p>[28:57] Seek out the best teachers</p><p>[34:37] Leaders unite and focus the group</p><p>[37:01] Did Boomers actually ruin everything?</p><p>[42:48] Make the most of surprise opportunities</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Watch the video version on YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/BWLM5oYqyMk">https://youtu.be/BWLM5oYqyMk</a></p><p>Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: <a target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?)">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Visit our website: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Dad Saves America at <a href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe</a>

Katherine Mangu-Ward: Virtue Requires Freedom and Freedom Requires Virtue

Katherine Mangu-Ward: Virtue Requires Freedom and Freedom Requires Virtue
<p>I sat down with Katherine Mangu-Ward, editor-in-chief of <em>Reason</em>, to discuss why we’ve both come to embrace libertarianism, even while we have entirely different ways of understanding the world. As a Catholic, my belief in universal morality and equal human dignity has led me to the conclusion that we should aim to maximize individual freedom. Katherine, on the other hand, doesn’t come at this from a religious perspective but instead embraces an optimistic utilitarian view of individual human potential for its own sake. She offers a refreshing take on why, if you’re worried about the state of the world, you should forget about voting and focus on raising independent and capable kids.</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Follow Katherine on X (formerly Twitter): <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/kmanguward">https://x.com/kmanguward</a></p><p>Check out Katherine’s work at Reason: <a target="_blank" href="https://reason.com/people/katherine-mangu-ward/">https://reason.com/people/katherine-mangu-ward/</a></p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Outline:</p><p>[0:00] Why shouldn’t you vote?</p><p>[8:08] Modern parallels to the 60s and 70s</p><p>[16:37] Individualism, consent, and coercion</p><p>[24:07] Can we be virtuous without freedom?</p><p>[27:55] Can we be free without traditional virtue?</p><p>[32:19] Utilitarianism vs. universal morality</p><p>[41:51] Have we killed God, and if so, what now?</p><p>[50:33] Is ‘capitalism’ the right term for free markets?</p><p>[55:16] Why are we playing with communism again?</p><p>[58:28] The end of “the end of history”</p><p>[1:08:13] What’s wrong with our media landscape?</p><p>[1:16:33] Julian Assange and WikiLeaks</p><p>[1:22:42] Elites, populists, and the party shift</p><p>[1:28:57] Raise kids for healthy independence</p><p>[1:37:52] Why people struggle with optimism</p><p>[1:41:11] If you want to change the world, have kids</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Watch the video version on YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/_LAWIIeOWgM">https://youtu.be/_LAWIIeOWgM</a></p><p>Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: <a target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?)">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Visit our website: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Dad Saves America at <a href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe</a>

Sharyl Attkisson Followed the Science and the Government Followed Her
<p>I sat down with investigative journalist and author Sharyl Attkisson to discuss the alarming intersection of Big Pharma, government regulators, and scientific journals. Sharyl shared insights from her new book “<em>Follow the Science</em>,” which delves into the propaganda, censorship, and conflicts of interest that have become endemic to our public health system. We also talked about Sharyl’s background in journalism and what she thinks about today’s media landscape.</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Follow Sharyl on X (formerly Twitter): <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/SharylAttkisson">https://x.com/SharylAttkisson</a></p><p>Follow Sharyl on Substack: <a target="_blank" href="https://sharylattkisson.substack.com/">https://sharylattkisson.substack.com/</a></p><p>Purchase a copy of <em>Follow the Science</em>: <a target="_blank" href="https://a.co/d/gsYkMVE">https://a.co/d/gsYkMVE</a></p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Outline:</p><p>[0:00] Conventional medicine bias</p><p>[4:31] The case of the smallpox vaccine</p><p>[6:40] Are vaccine risks being hidden?</p><p>[12:06] How Big Pharma propagandizes doctors</p><p>[18:49] Is profit-seeking the source of the problem?</p><p>[25:52] The CDC is a vaccine marketing operation</p><p>[30:53] Trust in public health has been destroyed</p><p>[36:43] The Amish disproved the COVID response</p><p>[42:45] Why don’t we talk about our health crisis?</p><p>[45:46] Do we “burn it all down” or is reform possible?</p><p>[49:39] Is information overload a net positive for humanity?</p><p>[56:35] The Obama administration spied on her</p><p>[1:02:57] How has this work changed her choices and beliefs?</p><p>[1:07:29] When did the censorship industry take off?</p><p>[1:10:49] Inform the public and let them decide</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Watch the video version on YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/SharylAttkisson">https://youtu.be/paCOUlqbWOE?si=vFOFEhTGtZ72yf4V</a></p><p>Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: <a target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?)">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Visit our website: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Dad Saves America at <a href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe</a>

Christina Hoff Sommers: Schools Are Hostile to Boys' Instincts
<p>I sat down with Christina Hoff Sommers, feminist philosopher and author of <em>“The War Against Boys</em>,” to discuss the growing struggles of boys in a culture increasingly dictated by a toxic strain of Marxist feminism. Christina explains how, now that institutional barriers to female opportunity have all but disappeared, the feminist movement has become dominated by a faction that sees the world as a zero-sum game and therefore is fundamentally opposed to the flourishing of boys and men. Schools, in particular, systematically neglect boys and pathologize their natural instincts, while elevating the psychological and behavioral tendencies of girls as inherently morally superior. Christina breaks down how this imbalance is shaping a generation of young men who are falling behind not only relative to their female peers but also in absolute historic terms.</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Follow Christina on X (formerly Twitter): <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/CHSommers">https://x.com/CHSommers</a></p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Outline:</p><p>[0:00] What is femininity?</p><p>[3:53] Boys and girls play differently</p><p>[9:35] School is designed for girls</p><p>[16:18] Classroom bias pushes boys away</p><p>[25:19] Protect your sons from ideologues</p><p>[29:12] Men and women have different disadvantages</p><p>[35:13] Social media, stoicism, and trauma</p><p>[46:42] Equality feminism vs gender feminism</p><p>[58:46] “Liberating” women from womanhood</p><p>[1:11:03] Can young men and women reunite?</p><p>[1:17:27] Marxist and Islamist influences in activism</p><p>[1:27:47] Reasons to hope for America</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Watch the video version on YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/ZKe8BxvjZIs">https://youtu.be/ZKe8BxvjZIs</a></p><p>Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: <a target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?)">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Visit our website: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Dad Saves America at <a href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe</a>

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya on COVID Lies, Vaccine Truth, and the Breakdown of Science
<p>I sat down with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University and a leading voice in public health policy, to explore the catastrophic failures of the COVID response and what they reveal about the scientific establishment and government institutions. Dr. Bhattacharya argues that the heavy-handed approach taken during the pandemic, from lockdowns to vaccine mandates and everything in between, reflects deeper issues in the cultural norms of the scientific community. He became well known during 2020 as one of the most prominent critics of these policies and co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, which outlined an alternative course of action focused on protecting high-risk individuals. Drawing on his additional background in economics, Dr. Bhattacharya also outlines how he believes we can reform the NIH, CDC, FDA, and the American healthcare system more broadly to improve outcomes and restore trust in our institutions.</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Follow Dr. Bhattacharya on X (formerly Twitter): <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/DrJBhattacharya">https://x.com/DrJBhattacharya</a></p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Outline:</p><p>[0:00] How scientific discourse broke down during COVID</p><p>[4:17] The Great Barrington Declaration</p><p>[9:23] The official stats didn’t match the complete dataset</p><p>[19:57] Why were the harms of lockdowns ignored?</p><p>[29:52] Government failure and the collective action problem</p><p>[38:42] Can the NIH, CDC, or FDA be fixed?</p><p>[56:14] What’s the deal with COVID vaccines?</p><p>[1:20:58] What about other vaccines?</p><p>[1:42:07] Broken incentives in the healthcare system</p><p>[1:59:17] What’s the state of the health policy conversation?</p><p>[2:06:11] We need honest, independent scientists</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Watch the video version on YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/eO3mOUyk5FE">https://youtu.be/eO3mOUyk5FE</a></p><p>Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: <a target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?)">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Visit our website: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Dad Saves America at <a href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe</a>
