Friday’s Wrap-Up with Bob: December 20, 2024 (Transcript)

‘Donald Trump wanted the bill yesterday to pass, and these people stuck their thumb to their nose to the president of the United States. The very man and president that they say that they’re for. It’s just nonsense. If something is not done immediately in the 2025 year, within just a few months then we are in trouble as a nation.…’ – Bob Barney

The Plain Truth is so Happy That You Have Been Enjoying Bob’s Broadcasts.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO BOB BARNEY’S MIDDAY BROADCAST: FRIDAY WRAP-UP WITH BOB DECEMEBER 20, 2024

Well, hello, this is Bob Barney, and it’s another Friday Wrap-Up.

I don’t know about you guys out there listening, but the Friday Wrap-Ups come awful darn quickly in my life. It seems like every other day is a Friday Wrap-Up.

This Friday, the stories that we talked about this week and that were on The Plain Truth this week we will cover today. First is the drone situation, which, you know, I gave my take on the drone situation. I believe it is the government trying to usurp power from the American people to get the people panicking. When you get the people panicking, then you can get Congress to pass any legislation to give more and more authority to the central government. That’s what the deep state is all about; they give you some kind of thing to panic about. Then all of a sudden, they have power. Then you find out the whole thing was a false flag anyway, and that there was no drone emergency or anything like that, but you’ve given up your power.

This happened back in 2001 with the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon. What Congress did, along with the totalitarian specialist George Bush II, King George II, I always call him, was passed an illegal anti-constitutional Patriot Act. This Act basically, which we have found out with the January Sixers, has taken away the Bill of Rights from the American people.

The Bill of Rights that has precedence over any congressional law is basically found null and void in times of a crisis like COVID, or like what they call an insurrection…and we know of course that no such thing happened on January 6th. The only insurrection was a bunch of DC Capitol policemen who were shooting an innocent person like Ashley Bobbitt to death and getting a $200,000 bonus for doing so. I don’t think people even know that, by the way.

I was listening last week, biggest guy who killed this unarmed woman for no reason at all, who has a history, an absolute history of all kinds of disciplinary actions. He left his gun in the bathroom one time! What happened when he killed an unarmed, innocent veteran of the Air Force? He was given a $200,000 bonus by Nancy Pelosi and the Congress, a $200,000 bonus when he should have been arrested for first degree murder, or at least manslaughter if you didn’t want to give him first degree murder. This is what happens when you allow the government to take it as what Rahm Emanuel said, never let a crisis go to waste. Well, that’s what’s going on now. They’re using the drone situation as a crisis to make Americans panic and when they panic, they tell Congress to take care of it for them and protect them. Then what you have is more loss of freedoms and a more totalitarian state…this way we become more like the Soviet Union than like the United States is supposed to be.

So anyway, to make a long story short, that is my take on the drone situation.

Some of the other stories we covered for the week, just all of these pardons of Joe Biden…he pardoned a judge who was imprisoned for cash for tens of millions of dollars in kickbacks, and imprisoned children so they could be turned into sex slaves in prison. I don’t know if anybody heard that. This guy has now been pardoned by Biden. You can bet your boots, by the way, that the Bidens are raking in probably tens, maybe even hundreds of millions of dollars by pardoning people for cash. These people that they’re pardoning are people that illegally made tens of millions of dollars from one corrupt thing to the next, like that judge or some other businesspeople, some Chinese businesspeople that he pardoned.

Matter of fact, do you remember the story of Hunter Biden on the phone saying, I have to get the big man involved and he bribed this man? Um, you better send money. And I got to give some to the big guy. And I got my father here on the phone. If you don’t, if you need to talk to him, you’re being in trouble. Do you remember that, that shakedown y’all heard about a year ago with the Hunter Biden scandal? Well, that guy got pardoned and he, the one whom gave the money got pardoned because they didn’t want him to talk, obviously. This is the kind of things that with these pardons, I think you’re going to see eventually the whole pardoning process of the constitution. It may take a constitutional amendment. I’m not sure. I’m not an expert at that, but I think you’re going to see a lot of restrictions on these pardons because of what is happening as they are going too far. I’m not sure. I know they use the Gerald Ford as a control and I did too, the Gerald Ford pardon to Richard Nixon, which was a blanket pardon for crimes that he didn’t even do. Had he done them though and were charged he would still be absolved from them. I’m not sure today if that pardon was actually legal, but because it was not challenged and did not go to the Supreme court, there was no decision on it. 

Joe Biden used that, I think, as his precedence to give these blanket pardons, like to his son, that no matter what crime he committed, if it turns out he murdered a diplomat or did some kind of, it had to be a state crime. It could, I mean, a federal crime, he can’t pardon state crimes. So regular murder is mainly a state crime, but let’s say he murdered a CIA agent on government property. It turns out nothing could happen to him. He’s beginning a total blanket pardon on uncharged things. I don’t know if that’s legal. I honestly don’t think it is legal. I don’t believe that you can pardon somebody that wasn’t found guilty.

Another podcast that we put Monday was entitled Tucker Carlson Was Jan 6 a Setup. The more evidence comes out of what happened on January 6th regarding 26 FBI agents. I think it’s going to be one hundred. I think it’s going to be a bigger number than 26, but 26 FBI that now we have NSA, we have CIA, we have ATF, we have Homeland Security. Of course we don’t know how many of those were involved, but 26 FBI people so far have been named that were there on January 6th. They went into the Capitol, that so-called crime of entering the Capitol as protesters. They were leading on other protesters, and they were actually inciting a riot and nothing’s been done with them legally. They didn’t get disciplined because they were planted there by the deep state and it’s going to be turning out, which we said from day one, from January of 2020, the plain truth has been putting up stories that this is a bogus insurrection. I’ve been talking about it telling people, writing back in email as well that it was no such thing at all. It was a peaceful protest that the deep state and the Democrats and the RINO Republicans turned around on the Trump supporters, the American citizens…all patriot American citizens at that. They tried to them into criminals. And they actually took away their entire Bill of Rights. They took away the idea they could have a speedy trial, the idea they could have a lawyer, the idea they didn’t have to testify against themselves, or even the writ of habeas corpus was denied to them.

It is an absolute black spot in American history.

In my lifetime, nothing to this magnitude was done against American citizens.

We’re not talking about terrorists in Guantanamo Bay or if they would have been treated better than we treated the January 6th people. We’re talking about absolute patriotic Americans who went to Washington, D.C. because they knew, and I still believe to this day, and so does anybody with my ideas and ounce of brains, that the 2020 election was stolen.

There was no way that Joe Biden got 81 million votes.

I think most people today already know that. Because everything that the deep state and the mainstream media and the politicians said was a fact since 2016, for that matter turned out all to be a lie.

Do you remember when Donald Trump said he was being spied upon when he was running for office in 2016 and everybody denounced it? The TV news denounced it and they said he was full of crap, basically. Then it turned out it was true. You remember when Russiagate was the big thing, and everybody said it was provable, and the Democrats stuck in some of them to this day that it really happened? When their own investigation proved it was totally bogus and that Hillary Clinton’s people made it up to run against Donald Trump, it was a total bogus. These people do belong in court. These people do belong to be tried and convicted, if that’s what the jury comes back with, and sentenced to prison for taking away the liberty of American citizens on January 6th. This is just an absolute scam and The Plain Truth website, I will tell you right now, has been on top of its entire time.

Also on The Plain Truth I just saw something when I’m going through here. I’m looking at the main page…this week was my 43rd wedding anniversary with my beautiful wife, Tammy, on December 17th. On December 16th, turned out it was the 251st anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. Speaking of liberty, this was the beginning of American liberty and of America becoming its own country. I also want to discuss this day.

If you go to The Plain Truth, we have some stories about the budget battle going on this week and what the Republicans tried to slip through Wednesday night. I think Donald Trump helped stop it, stopped this boondoggle spending bill that they acted more Democrat than the Democrats even act. It just shows you that Donald Trump does have his work cut out for him because the Republicans in Congress simply do not get it. I was listening to Newt Gingrich the other night, and I forgot what show he was on, but he had a very good show and a good interview, I should say, and he explained what he did when he was Speaker of the House to make sure the Republicans stuck together when they had that famous contract with America. They actually shut down the government twice, and it succeeded. Contrary to what history wants to tell you, and history is really the mainstream media reinterpreting history, they tried to say that Newt Gingrich shutting down the government twice is what cost the Republicans the 1996 election, which is pure nonsense. There was no way that Bob Dole, RINO, Bob Dole, corrupt Bob Dole, was going to beat Bill Clinton in 1996.There’s just no way. Now, if they ran a good Republican candidate in 1996, there was a possibility they could beat Bill Clinton because he was not all that popular. As a matter of fact, because Newt Gingrich did the contract with America in 1994, he took control of the House for the first time in years.

The Republicans controlled the House because the American people wanted that contract. They wanted a Congress that was responsible for their actions. And what did that new Congress force Bill Clinton to become? Well, it forced Bill Clinton to become more conservative. He had to stop the radical leftist moves he was doing and move to the center. You remember, he tried to pass Obamacare before Obama. It was going to be called Hillarycare, and she was promoting it, and she had all of the windbag power that a first lady could have, and she was really in the forefront of everything until 1994, the midterm elections when Newt Gingrich took over the House and forced Bill Clinton to hide Hillary Clinton for the next two years until the 96 elections and passed, and that’s what happened. She disappeared from the scene, and he started balancing the budget with Newt Gingrich, and all of a sudden Bill Clinton became this moderate, centrist, old-time Democrat, Kennedy Democrat who lowered interest, who lowered the interest rates, who actually lowered the taxes on the rich like John Kennedy did and Ronald Reagan afterwards, and he became a hero to the working class, even though I saw through Bill Clinton and I knew where he was, but he was a realist and understood that Newt Gingrich held all the cards, and the government shutdowns really helped the Republicans in Congress. They actually picked up many seats in the 96th election. Bob Dole lost because of what Bob Dole was.

Bill Clinton could have been defeated, but it would have been hard because incumbent presidents are hard to beat anyway, but that is the story of this budget battle going on now. The Republicans need to do what they have to do and stick together. If it’s agreeing to a two-month continuing resolution, if that’s what you got to do, then the Freedom Caucus needs to get on board, and if it’s to shut down the government over the Christmas holidays, then the other Republicans need to get on board, and when Newt Gingrich was asked by the interviewer, and I forgot what news station it was, I listened to a lot of different things, he gave a great reply. You tell these Congress people who depend on money to be re-elected, remember Congress, the House of Representatives, the entire House, unlike the Senate, the entire House is up for re-election every two years. They need to always be campaigning. They need to always be raising money, a lot of money. Well, who gets a lot of that money is the Republican National Committee, and they dole out that money to who they want to, and Newt Gingrich said he made it clear to every Republican House member, be it if they were centrist, if they were more liberal or rhino, as we would call them today, or very conservative, far right, like we would call the Freedom Caucus. He got them all together in a room, all by themselves, without any cameras, without any microphones, without any press, and he said, we are going to stick together. We’re going to vote in unison.

We’re going to be like the Democrats have always been able to be, and when they’re in control, we’re going to lead this country by example, and no one here is going to vote against anything that we’re for, and no one’s going to vote for something that we’re against. If you do, you will not get a penny from the Republican National Committee, and we will make sure that someone primaries you and defeats you, because we will support them, and the Republican National Committee will support the person running against you in the Republican Party, and we will primary you, and you know what? He was able to get every single Republican congressman in line to vote the way that the Contract of America promised the American people they would vote, and they did it, and they did it successfully, and that is the story of how you run a government, and how you make things happen, and how you keep a president’s feet to the ground, and working on the people’s matters, instead of being corrupt, and it worked, and the Republicans did very well because of it, and it wasn’t until George Bush became president, King George II, as I call him, became president, and the Republicans took over the House and Senate that they became the corrupt people that the Democrats were. The problem is, is the Republicans became corrupt so quickly that they were utterly rejected in elections to come, and they lost everything. The problem with the Republican Party, I had a couple shows called The Republican Diet, where the only thing Republicans eat is each other. They’re a bunch of cannibals. Republicans are probably the worst party I’ve ever seen that does not understand politics.

The Democrats are pretty good at what they’re doing. Yeah, they’re fighting now. They’ll get their act together, but the truth is we need the Democrats to get their act together, because the Republicans. Why? Because without any real competition in elections, the Republicans will become the worst things that ever happen to America. This is so because they are such corrupt, greedy, RINO bastards, to be frank, that they need to be worried about their jobs at every second.

If I could pass a magic wand, I’ll tell you what I would do. I would have all House members, and it can only be re-elected one time, and they would have a four-year, instead of, this would take amendments to the Constitution, but I would let them have four years versus the two, and they could run one more time. The total they could have is eight years, because it does take time for somebody in office to learn everything, to do things right. The second thing, I would change the Senate rules so they could run once, but they would have a 10-year, not a six-year, but a 10-year term, but they could only run once, and a third of the Senate would be voted on every two or four years, however you would do that. The next thing I would do is I would term limit the President to one eight-year term, not a four-year, not a six-year, as some people suggested, but an eight-year, because here’s the problem when you’re facing China in competition for the world economy, when you’re facing Russia or other countries that, for example, many Prime Ministers, like the British Prime Minister, if, yes, they can be called to election any moment, but they can last, they can stay in power for 20 years.

You’ve had Prime Ministers and leaders of even Western nations that were in control for over 20 years, and there are, there should be term limits, yes, but you can’t have term limits so short that nobody ever gets anything done, and so businesses who are trying to think, where am I going to spend the next billion dollars of my investment? Am I going to invest it in China where I have a stable government? Yes, they’re communists, and they torture people, and they make kids work in coal mines and in mineral mines, but I know one thing, if I put a billion dollars into China, it’s going to be the same government 20 years from now when I finally break even, because when a company spends a lot of money, it takes years for them to get their money back, and the problem in America right now is every four years you could have a different president, and all of a sudden through executive actions, everything you planned on under Donald Trump in 2016, in 2017 when he became president, got reversed when Joe Biden became president in 2020, and so why would you want to spend that kind of money in America if you can’t see a stable government? So, if you actually gave a little longer term, and you then had term limits because of that, I think you would have more business investment, especially foreign countries, not only American countries, in America, because we are the most stable economy in the world.

I laugh when people say BRICS or whatever it’s called is going to take over the dollar. It’s not going to take over the dollar. The dollar is the strongest currency in the world because America is still the strongest country in the world when it comes to the economy. When we had this recession caused by COVID and by then the Biden administration’s policies, it destroyed China. I do a lot of business with China. A lot of raw materials come out of China, and I can tell you right now China’s in a depression because America is in a recession, and China, probably 65, 70 percent of what people build in China comes to America, and if America is not buying Chinese goods, they are not working. I know for a fact that many Chinese companies are only working four hours a day, four days a week because they are that slow, and they have a problem. They got a billion people that keep employed. A billion people just to keep employed. They got almost two billion people to feed, and so they are in trouble when the American economy is in trouble.

So, you don’t really think that China is really our enemy? They want to destroy us?

Why would they want to destroy who buys everything from them? 

This is the kind of nonsense that your media is feeding you and your politicians are feeding you. You can’t watch Maria on the Fox Business show in the morning because every single morning she’s got to spend 20 minutes talking about how China is our enemy. It’s like every day for her… it is her mantra. No, we have to worry about America, Maria. We have to worry about American politicians who are selling us down the river to anybody who wants to pay them off. We have to worry about American businesses who don’t know how to make money because of the regulations they’re forced to follow. We have to clean up our act and China will go away. They won’t be the problem we think they are.

One of the first things I wrote back in 2009 when we started the Plain Truth was a story about how Russia will not be in your future. They’re not the story.  I also wrote how the Middle East will always be in your future. Follow the Bible. The Bible tells you who to worry about. Russia is not a problem for us. We are the problem of the world right now. We’re meddling all over the world and we have to stop it. So anyway, that’s my take on this budget battle.

When I come back after this brief time out, we’re going to finish up the weekly wrap-up.

 Hey, Bob Barney here for theplaintruth.com and the Plain Truth Today broadcast which you’re listening to right now. I want to welcome you on this program. I hope you listen. We’re on three times a day, 7-11 in the morning, noontime, and 7-11 p.m. The featured speakers are not just me. We also broadcast all kinds of different programs as well from Tucker Carlson to Bill O’Reilly to Megyn Kelly and others. We also have on Saturdays a special Sabbath, 7-11 AM featured show and then Saturday nights we put up a short story like an old radio program from the past for a duration of maybe 30 minutes long. It is always a nice short story by one of the masters of short stories in literature. They give a little literature experience to our listeners. On Sunday we always have a longer political program. We also cover the Your Health Today topics on the broadcast from week to week.

This is Bob Barney for the Plain Truth Today. I thank you for listening and we’ll be right back to the program in about five seconds. 

Hi, we’re back. The last two things I wanted to talk about, one is really quick. I am so happy that Neil Cavuto is going to be out from Fox. He’s retiring or he’s not signing his contract. He’s probably one of the nastiest anti-Trump, anti-American human that Fox has had on for the last five years. I couldn’t ever stand watching his show and I’m glad he’s gone. He’s a friend of Dr. Fauci and a man who demonized people who refused to take the vaccine for COVID and demonized everyone who refused to wear a mask. The man, in my opinion, can go to hell and I’m glad he’s gone. Fox News in my estimation anyways needs to be finished…it has just gone the wrong way ever since Roger Ailes died. Actually, he was replaced before he died.

The last thing I’m going to talk about, again, we’re back to this Republican diet. Now the Republicans who are the MAGA Republicans are only at about 38 in number that voted against the bill yesterday that even Donald Trump wanted them to vote for. Now they’re not only eating themselves, but they’re also eating the next presidency of the United States of Donald Trump. These people are absolutely morons. They don’t understand politics. They don’t understand, they don’t care about anything but themselves. More Matt Gaetz’s than we need. I’m glad Matt Gaetz is out of the picture. I hope that Donald Trump did plan to get rid of him, but Mike Johnson’s speakership is going to be gone. We’re going to have who knows who else. The Republicans, if they continue, are going to lose the Congress in two years, in the next, the off-year elections. Then Donald Trump is going to be impeached. If that happens we’re going to go through 2018, 2019 all over again, unless we can get rid of these MAGA, and that’s what they are. They’re the MAGA Republicans. The never Trumpers have been wrong all along about Donald Trump. Donald Trump’s a great president and could be a great, great president if he had only support from his own freaking party. But the truth is, the never Trumpers are absolutely right about the so-called MAGA Republican Congress people. They are self-centered morons that will vote for nothing because they are against everything. This is not helping Donald Trump, and this is certainly not helping the country.

 The stock market has crashed this week. Why do you think? Bitcoin has crashed this week. Why do you think? Why do you think? Do you realize that American 401ks lost probably two trillion dollars this week alone, and the stock market crashed for the last 10 days? This is all because of the MAGA Republicans that just give the Democrats talking points and who continues to give the left-wing media talking points against Donald Trump.

Donald Trump wanted the bill yesterday to pass, and these people stuck their thumb to their nose to the president of the United States. The very man and president that they say that they’re for. It’s just nonsense. If something is not done immediately in the 2025 year, within just a few months then we are in trouble as a nation. The president that we know can get us and lead us out of this mess that we’re in and the worldwide mess that we’re in is going to be defeated at the polls in two years. This would mean he’s going to be impeached when the Democrats take control of Congress. The Republicans will keep the Senate because the Republican senators right now seem to be a bit united, but the Republican House members are just morons, absolute morons. I’ll tell you the truth right now. I hope they all get indicted and get thrown in jail because I just can’t stand people who say no to everything. Everything you want to do is no. Everything you want to do to fix something is no because that is all they stand for. They don’t stand for any positive solutions to any problems. All they want to do is get on TV and make it all about themselves saying no, and American people hopefully will get rid of these people.

We need a Republican Congress that’s going to work together with the president of the United States to help save this country.

So anyway, that is the Friday wrap-up for today. Probably next week, the Friday wrap-up will happen as what seems to be in just a few hours from now. The weeks tend to go by faster when you get older, I guess. That’s part of life. 

This is Bob Barney, and tomorrow we are going to have a major show for the Sabbath about the history of the Catholic Church. And if you watch this show, and it’s an hour and a half, I was going to try to break it in three parts, but YouTube don’t let you do it. Even still it’s a must-see show. If you are a Sunday-keeping Christian, if you are a Protestant even, or a Baptist Christian, you need to see where the Catholic Church came from because you came out of the Catholic Church. That’s what Protestant means. You’re protesting against your church, and you’re going to find out you want nothing to do with that church.

Watch that program tomorrow, and you will be shocked. It’s 100% facts that you can prove. Anyway, this is Bob Barney, hoping everyone a safe, blessed weekend, and we’ll see you back.
