In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, host Robert Kiyosaki interviews Lieutenant Colonel Rodney Glassman, a U.S. Air Force JAG and candidate for Arizona Attorney General, to demystify the role of a state attorney general and contrast it with the federal attorney general. Glassman explains that while the federal AG is appointed by the president and serves the executive branch, Arizona’s AG is an elected official who serves the people directly, overseeing the state’s largest law office with 400 attorneys and 1,000 staff. He criticizes the current Democratic AG, Chris Mays, for using her office to file over 40 lawsuits against the Trump administration, prioritize political activism over public service, and fundraise from liberals—actions he frames as undermining Arizona’s safety, prosperity, and rule of law. Kiyosaki endorses Glassman’s campaign, praising his ability to turn political opposition into a personal investment opportunity by framing support as a way to stop what he calls 'insane' litigation. The episode underscores the importance of civic engagement, financial education, and holding elected officials accountable.
The state attorney general is an elected official who serves the people, not the governor or legislature, and is the most powerful elected office in many states.
Arizona’s attorney general oversees 400 attorneys and 1,000 staff, providing legal services to all state agencies—including real estate, health, and education departments.
Federal AGs are appointed by the president and serve the executive branch, while state AGs are accountable to voters and should protect public safety, law enforcement, and economic prosperity.
Critics argue that politicizing the attorney general’s office—such as suing the president 40 times—undermines public trust and diverts resources from core duties.
Political campaigns can be successful by educating voters on the role of officeholders and turning opposition into a personal investment opportunity.
