America’s Standing in the World Today |Bob Barney (Transcript)

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE PLAIN TRUTH TODAY 7:11 BROADCAST: America’s Standing in the World Today

The latest poll shows that the majority of Americans say that Donald Trump is focused on the
wrong priorities and not the priorities he was elected to fix.

This is Bob Barney with the Plain Truth today and this show is about Greenland, Donald Trump, the new presidency of Donald Trump 2.0 and the things that I think are going wrong and I know people will tell me, especially the ever-Trumpers out there who always find to make excuses, that these polls are not
trustworthy, they’ve never been trustworthy, well they always seem to believe the polls when it
says that Donald Trump is popular or if Donald Trump’s program has got support.

In the early administration this time around in February, for example, of 2025, when it was reported that
80% of Americans favored the closing of the border with Mexico and that he was doing a good
job on immigration, everybody including every Republican, Donald Trump himself, the White
House and all the ever-Trumpers quoted those polls how much the American people loved his
policies of closing the border and that’s easy to believe because everybody was happy except
for a few communist Democrats of course, everybody was happy when the borders got closed
because open borders that Joe Biden did brought not only illegals into this country, it brought
illegal criminals and worse of all it brought in thousands of terrorists, probably Iranian, Iraqi,
you name it, ISIS, Hamas terrorists into the United States where some reports say there’s over a
thousand terrorist cells working in the United States right now that could be unleashed on
America rather quickly if we have a contention with Iran or one of the Middle Eastern countries
or we side too much with Israel somewhere or another.

Another report which is going up on the plain truth is one that’s very shocking, we’re gonna
have it this week, but it’s very shocking because it seems, and this was a CBN, that’s an old Pat
Robertson network, a CBN thing, is many Christians now that supported Donald Trump,
evangelical Christians I should say, the people who believe falsely, falsely that Ezekiel 37 and
Ezekiel 38 came true with the emergence of a state of Israel in 1948 and that is only because no
one seems to understand who Israel really is and who the Jews are. The Jews are a part of the
Israeli population. There were 12 tribes, I explain this all the time, of Israel and the Jewish tribe
is one of them and the other tribes got their identity of Israel because that name went to the
tribe of Joseph and then to the tribe of Ephraim, one of two sons of Joseph, and so it became 13
tribes.

We get into this, you can read this on the plain truth, but the truth is Israel is not in existence
yet as Israel. That country that’s called itself Israel is really should be called Judah and that is
what it’s called in the Bible. Go to the Bible, you’re gonna see there’s two, after Solomon, there
became two nations.

There became the nation of Israel and the nation of Judah, which are the Jews. You can see it
for yourself, you don’t have to listen to me, just read it for yourself. You read Ezekiel and you
also read where Ezekiel says, and after the Millennium by the way, God is gonna take the stick
that says Judah, Jews, and the stick that says Ephraim in Israel, America, England, France,
Europe, that’s lost Israel, and he’s gonna stick them together and make them one nation again
and that doesn’t happen until after the Tribulation, after the Millennium, until the new age
comes when God the Father lives with us.

Read the Bible, it’s there. Everybody doesn’t want to see that, but anyway, get back to my
subject, CBN did a report about how evangelicals are abandoning Donald Trump in droves
because he promised always to defend Israel, and this time around, let’s go back, the first time
around, Trump 1.0, we moved the embassy to Jerusalem as he promised. Every other president
promised to do that, to get the Jewish and evangelical vote, but no one ever did.
Donald Trump did do it. He really was instrumental in the Abraham Accords, which were great
peace accords between Saudi Arabia and Israel, namely, and 2.0 Donald Trump comes, and
when things don’t go the way he wants them, i.e. he did not get a Nobel Peace Prize for Middle
East peace, because everything Donald Trump has done in the Middle East this time around has
backfired. I told you the Iranian raid on the nuke sites backfired.
They did. That’s why they’re within months again from having a nuclear bomb, according to
Donald Trump’s own administration. So now we’re talking about bombing them again.
It’s almost ridiculous. He claims and he touted this great peace deal between Hamas and Israel
for Gaza. No such thing.

Read the Daily Mail every day, or better yet, read the Plain Truth and the Plain Truth Message
Board, and you’ll have weekly updates how they’re still fighting and going on in Gaza, and there
is no peace going on there. It’s just a smoke-and-mirror show. So we get to this idea where
evangelicals now are listening to Donald Trump starting to blame Israel for the problems in the
Middle East.
He has been all over Netanyahu, blaming him for not having a better deal with Hamas. Now
he’s talking about a two-state solution. Now he’s talking about there has to be a nation of
Palestine.

He’s changing his words a little at a time. I haven’t seen anything he said personally that I
disagree with, by the way. I just want to say this.
I’m going at a different point here. I’m saying he’s losing his support, which most people don’t
think he is. So what you have is these evangelical Christians who think that Israel, and it’s the
wrong name, the Jews of Israel, cannot do anything wrong that we have to.
The Bible commands us to follow them no matter what they do and support them, and it is not
everywhere found in the Bible. Do you know, by the way, in the Bible, in the second book of
Kings, you can find a passage where it says that the kingdom of Israel is at war with the Jewish
kingdom to this day? That the Jews were fighting Israel? You know, that’s in the Bible. Just think
I brought that out there.

But anyway, these evangelicals’ perceptions reality, they think Israel is the rebirth of the nation
of Israel which was prophesied throughout the Old Testament, hasn’t happened yet, will not
happen until Christ returns, until after Christ returns, but anyway, that’s what they think. So
their support of Donald Trump is waning, and according to the CBN show, waning a lot. And
that should be disturbing to Republicans.
Donald Trump doesn’t care. He’s not running again. He’s trying to make a legacy for himself.
He doesn’t care what happens to you, me, or anybody else. He wants to put Donald Trump on
coins, he wants to put Donald Trump now on the credit card. You see, he comes out and he tells
banks they have to lower the interest rates to 10 percent, and at the same time he wants them
to make a Donald Trump gold credit card that caps interest rates at 10 percent.
A special credit card with his face on it and his name. It’s nonsense. It’s absolutely
megalomania.

But anyway, going back, what happens when you put the credit cards at 10 percent? Well, I’ll
tell you what happens. I actually think it would be a great idea. Donald Trump doesn’t know
why it would be a great idea.
He don’t have a clue that what it would really do to the economy, but it would actually make the
economy better in a way, because the people who can’t pay off their credit card debt every
month are the people that shouldn’t have credit cards in the first place. And by lowering the
interest rates to 10 percent, credit card companies are going to dry up credit. They’re not going
to allow anybody with a score under 750 to have a credit card.
And millions and tens of millions, probably a hundred million Americans, would lose their credit
cards. Here’s the second thing that would happen. Because the banks can’t make money off
credit cards, which is probably 80-85 percent of their total revenue, they’re going to then have
to find ways to make money elsewhere.
Now, people think about mortgage rates. Well, banks make about 2 percent, if they’re lucky, on
a mortgage rate. They have to borrow the money from the Fed, and then they have to give it to
you for 30 years, and then they make 1 or 2 percent.

So they have, you know, trillion dollars or more in mortgages at 1 percent, 2 percent profit,
where they have a trillion dollars in credit card, with an average percentage of probably 15 to
20 percent, and maybe even higher. So they got to make up that money. So what they’ll do is
they’ll add 4 or 5 percent to the price of mortgages.
They’ll add 4 or 5 percent to the price of car loans. It’ll be the 1970s. And I’m talking about the
1970s before Jimmy Carter.
Most Americans in the 1950s, the 1960s, and the 1970s thought that 7 to 10 percent mortgage
rates on cars, I’m sorry, on homes was affordable, and it was reasonable. Why is that? Because
nobody had credit cards back then, and they didn’t realize that there would be a better way if
credit cards came out, and they could have lower mortgage rates, and it would help people who
pay off their credit cards every month. It would not help the people who can’t pay off their
credit cards every month.

But going back to the credit card situation, every other interest rate you can imagine would go
up tremendously, and who gets penalized here is the people with great credit scores who pay
off their bills every month. Anything they do mortgage, like long-term mortgages on cars or
homes, are gonna skyrocket, and they’re gonna go back to the levels they were throughout
history of mortgaging homes. And I am someone who believes that what Donald Trump is
trying to do here, even though he doesn’t understand what he’s trying to do here, it would
actually help the economy by taking credit away from the people who can’t utilize it properly
anyway.

I’ll be right back. Hi, Bob Barney for The Plain Truth today, brought to you by theplaintruth.com,

That’s theplaintruth.com, go there every day, you’ll find a new source like you haven’t found
anywhere else. Thank you, we’ll be right back to the show.

So we’re back and where we were talking about Greenland is what we’re going to really talk
about, and Donald Trump’s foreign affairs policies that are going to trash, but I started out
because the poll, the latest poll out there, and I know people who want to blindly support
Donald Trump no matter what he does, and I’m going to explain to that in a minute as well, no
matter what he does, the polls are going to be lying, except when the polls say he’s a great
man. Then those polls are accurate. And I’m telling you right now, how you tell if a poll is lying,
because many polls do lie, how they ask the question.

This is how I know if polls are lying, and I would agree it’s probably harder for others than me,
because I talk to people all over the United States all the time, mainly business people, but
because our business also does sell to end-users like homeowners and stuff like that, we talk to
a lot of different people in every state with every background, some are self-employed, some
are employed, some are retired, but we get a pulse about what the people are thinking around
the nation from those phone calls, and we have dozens of them a day, and I can tell you from
what little bit I know and what a little bit I hear, and just common sense, that these polls are
quite accurate. I don’t think most people who voted for Donald Trump, including myself, and I
keep saying this because people think I’m an ever-Trumper, I am not, but I’m not an ever
Trumper, I’m only an ever-gotter, and that is whatever God says is the right thing. And if
anybody disagrees with what God says, they’re wrong, that simple, that’s what I am.
But I am not somebody who’s gonna blindly follow any man into a hellhole, and that’s where
this man is leading us, and I told my wife back in February, and at the time she didn’t want to
hear this, I told my wife back in February, this is going to be a failed administration, and I saw it
within a month. I saw who he surrounded himself with, and how he, and and not only who he
surrounded himself by all those billionaires, but who he picked for his cabinet members, all yes
men and yes-women, all people who will not stand up against him like his first administration,
and allowed his ego to become megalomania on steroids, and no one there to push back. I
guess one time maybe Melania used to, but I guess maybe she gave up, because no one’s
pushing back, and his ego is just taken over where he wants everything belongs to him.
He wants to have coins with his pictures on it before he dies, he wants to have credit cards, as I
just mentioned, called the Trump gold card, with a 10% cap on interest rates, he wants to have
the Nobel Peace Prize. He took a woman’s Nobel Peace Prize when she offered it to him,
because she needs his help to try to get back to Venezuela, and he kept it. If that is not the
most one-sided, egomaniacal act of a person who just, I wouldn’t even accept something I
didn’t, I didn’t win if I deserve to win it.
It’s just ridiculous. And what’s going on now, and people who are making excuses for this, just
simply do not read the Bible. If they claim they read the Bible, and you see how you’re
supposed to act, how you’re supposed to act to your enemy, never mind your old friend, and
we’re not doing it.

And what’s going on in Greenland right now is the emergence of the European Union uniting
into a beast government. I always knew that was going to happen. This show and this news
site, theplaintruth.com, now for almost 20 years, have been broadcasting that Europe is going
to be the final beast of the Bible, out of Europe is going to come the Antichrist, out of Europe is
going to come the most powerful conglomerate of nations to ever exist, and they will control
everybody but the King of the South, which is the Muslim nations to the South, but everybody
else is basically going to fall in line.

I already predicted that Russia is never going to be, this time around, any enemy. Neither is
China. The two enemies of America and the world is basically going to be a re-armed Japan,
because they’re the military people in the Pacific, not China, and a re-armed Germany in all the
power of the European Union, and with Chinese help, in my opinion, because the latest thing
happened last week is China is forging deals with China, I’m sorry, with Canada, with Denmark
now, with Germany, with Italy, all over Europe.

China is the winner of this trade war, and again, I know people who tell me, oh no, Trump’s
doing great here, I mean, look at this trade war, we’re costing China hundreds of billions of
dollars. China is not paying a dime of this trade barrier war. No, the people buying it is paying
it, either the vendor or manufacturer that is absorbing that money, but it’s still coming off as
income taxes, and the end consumer.

So yes, we get 300, but let’s say we get, let’s say we got a trillion dollars in tariffs. That would
mean that there would be a trillion less dollars to spend by businesses in America or end-users
when their income taxes go up. That’s what it means.

And any idiot that knows anything about economies knows that tariffs bring inflation. It is like
Economics 101. Lately, you watch all these TV shows, this can’t happen, it’s not happening,
haha, Trump was right.

Well, we ain’t even a year into this yet, and I see the difference. 2026 is not going to be a great
year. And we get to this Greenland thing, a joint statement from Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, excuse me, and the UK said they stood firmly
behind the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity concerning Greenland, and in fact,
concerning every nation of the world.

I think that’s kind of funny because I’m going to tell you something you’re not gonna hear
anywhere else. Denmark, Mark of Dan, the tribe of Dan. Finland, I don’t know if they are part of
Israel.

France, that’s the Reuben, the son called Reuben, who slept with his father’s other wife,
Reuben, that’s the French. Germany, Germany is the Assyrians of the Bible. Yes, the modern
day Germans are descendants of the Assyrians that captured the ancient nation of Israel and
took them into captivity, and they went through the, we go through this and you can find this
on the Plain Truth, they went through the Caucasus Mountains, that’s where the word
Caucasian comes from, and Germans and Americans, or I shouldn’t say Americans, Israelites of
the time, were Caucasians, and they went in through the Caucasus Mountains, through Poland
and into Germany, and therefore into all those other countries.
So Germany is Assyria. The Netherlands, well the Netherlands is Neptali, another tribe of Israel.
Norway, again Dan.

Sweden, again Dan. And the United Kingdom, that is Manasseh, part of the tribe of Joseph. So
of the countries that are standing up against America, and we are Ephraim, by the way, in the
Bible, for those who want to know, if you care.

But all these Israeli, lost Israeli nations, standing up against their brother, United States of
America, over this Denmark thing, and they should. But the problem is, is the real winner in
here, of all those nations I just mentioned, the real winner in here is Germany. And Germany is
gaining power, and when the Germans have power, there’s going to be a change in Germany,
like people are not being prepared for.

Now in the pages of the Plain Truth and some of these podcasts, we are preparing people.
There is a radical right-wing move going on in Germany, and they are making inroads every
single election now, for the last 15 years, and it’s getting more and more dominant, that
Germany is going to turn on the Muslim population there, maybe not the Jewish population this
time around, maybe the Muslims will be their new Jews to blame everything on. But they are
turning right-wing, and they’re turning dangerously militant, and that is the future of Germany,
and then Germany is the future of a united Europe, under the control of the Catholic Church as
its religion, and the Pope being the head of that, the false prophet of Revelation, and a person
called the Antichrist, maybe an Italian, most likely a German, who’s gonna run the whole thing
and beat everyone he goes after.

He’s gonna do what Donald Trump wants to do, that Donald Trump can’t do, because the
American Constitution don’t allow Donald Trump to be the Emperor he wants to be. I’ll be right
back. Please go to theplaintruth.com every day for Your Health Today, for the Meshes Board,
these podcasts, the main page of the Plain Truth, where I always have feature-packed stories,
and of course, understanding what exactly is in the Bible about today’s events and the events of
tomorrow.

Read tomorrow’s headlines today on theplaintruth.com. Well, we’re back with this Greenland
situation, and I will tell you right now, I think even those do-nothing Republicans in Congress
are gonna have a problem with this whole deal with Greenland. How in the world can you stand
against a person like Putin and say he has no right to take Ukraine, which was a part of Russia
for some 200 years, longer than some of the American states have been a part of our states? I
wonder what Donald Trump and the ever-Trumpers would say if, for example, Mexico says, well
really Texas is ours and we’re gonna take it. Now, we know Mexico can’t take it, but what
happens if they add nuclear bombs and they’re threatening to send nuclear bombs our way
unless we annex Texas to them? The ever-Trumpers, and most Americans, would be outraged,
but we’re outraged because Putin says Ukraine is part of Russia, and they have been.
It’s that simple. Now, I’m not saying right now we shouldn’t maybe be in support of Ukraine.
I’m not getting there.

I’m just pointing out we are sitting here condemning Putin for what he’s doing in Ukraine, and
we are planning or proposing or threatening to do the same thing in Greenland. An ally of ours
who’s never taken up weapons against us, they’ve never had to succeed from us because they
never were a part of us, an ally who allowed us to have over the years 18 military bases. In fact,
we can have all the military bases we want there.

They have licensed us to take all the rare-earth minerals that we want out of there for just
compensation, and anything else we really want to do there, you name it. We dropped an
atomic bomb by mistake over Greenland in the 1950s, and we haven’t found it to this day. It’s a
bomb that technically could go off, and the people of Greenland didn’t get mad at us.
Most countries probably would have thrown us out over that, but that’s the story. We ended up
on the plain truth just a few weeks ago. The history story, a history lesson, because a lot of
Americans need a history lesson, how we dropped an atomic bomb, a live atomic bomb, over
Greenland by mistake back in the 1950s, and we have never been able to find it.
It’s probably buried under hundreds of feet of snow because there’s parts of Greenland that
are never green land, or never green, I should say. But here are some of the comments. There
is a Daily Mail story talking about how Europe is responding to Donald Trump against his take
on Greenland.
Here is the comment from the English Prime Minister. Okay, then we have the Ed Davey. This is
the kind of things that people are saying.

Now let’s go to the, I always like to go to the comments on the Daily Mail, because the Daily
Mail comments tend to be a little bit more liberal, but lately they’ve been more ever-Trump-ish.
Here’s one that’s a pro-Trumper no matter what Trump does. He’s not a gangster.
Obviously somebody before this called him a gangster. And stop inciting hatred here on the
Daily Mail. Use your words carefully, because we don’t need another Minnesota on our hands.
The Dems, the governors, the mayors are all at fault for inciting violence and this poor girl
being shot. I don’t know how they think it’s a poor girl being shot, but anyway. Then we have
this one here.
Trump is a sick, dangerous old man surrounded by psychopaths, which I think could be true,
constantly stirring up trouble to provoke certain reactions and is going to cause his colossal
downfall as our leader. Trump doesn’t need NASA, another one. We need, they need, but they
need us.

This is an ever-Trumper. Like, we control everything in NATO. We control the whole world.
We don’t even realize we are 350 million people out of 8 billion people. There is another world
out there that does not need the United States of America. In fact, we’re going to learn that real
soon, that they’re going to be able to control events in the United States of America.
I did not think, I’ll be honest about this, I did not think that Donald Trump was going to be the
president he’s being right now. As I said, I voted for him three times. We gave him a money in
the 24 campaign for the first time.

I was positive he was going to do what he said he was going to do. I did not realize that the first
time around, it seems like that the people that surrounded Donald Trump was able to constrain
his egomania. Now, I’ve known people that actually dealt with Donald Trump.
I know in the paint world, for example, a very big paint company in West Palm Beach was put
out of business by Donald Trump, who bought, you know, a million and a half dollars worth of
paint and never paid for it, and then tried to renegotiate the bill, say it didn’t meet standards.
And this is what he does to every contractor, his whole history, he’s in lawsuits. If you know
anybody in this business, especially those in New York, and I know several, they’ll tell you his
mode of apparandi has always been, you sign any deal you need to sign to get the work going,
and about three quarters of the way through the work start finding fault, finding holes, and
then saying you’re not going to pay the bill.

And then you go to negotiate it, and if you refuse, you go to court, he will tie you up in court
until he bankrupts you. That’s been his idea. He’s trying to run the country this way, he’s trying
to run the world this way, he’s gonna find that it doesn’t work like it does in New York City in
Trump world.
It’s not gonna work. We’re gonna be building a enemy out of Europe a lot quicker than I
thought we were gonna be building it, and I didn’t think it was gonna be us to do it, but it looks
like it is gonna be us to do it. And this Greenland thing is a disaster for American diplomacy and
what we stand for.
The people around the world, if you want to believe this or not, it’s true. Most of the people
around the world looked up to us until this administration. They looked down on us when we
had Biden and we had Obama.

I know a lot of our friends did, but the rest of the world was like, well, I guess America can be all
over the place, but they never, never in the world, I’m talking about the majority of the opinions
of the poor folks of the world, always look to America as the place of God. It’s true. You don’t
see people breaking the border wall down to get out of America.
They’re all trying to come to America. Now you can say they’re all coming for your illegal
purposes to have, you know, prostitution and child pornography and drugs and all that, like
Donald Trump’s trying to say, but that’s not the reason that most people try to flock to America.
They flock to America because they think America is the greatest place on the face of this earth.
We should take that as a compliment of how we have accurately portrayed this nation
throughout our history. As Colin Powell said, we went through many battles in Europe and the
only thing, only land we’ve ever asked for was enough ground to bury our dead. We are not an
imperialistic colonial country.

We’ve never been a colonial country. Yes, we got the Philippines from the Spanish-American
War. We gave it back to their own people.

We let them decide if they wanted to stay with us or become their own nation, and then we
have the Philippines today. Guam, for example, decided to stay with us. So did Puerto Rico.
I think Puerto Rico should be its own nation, personally, and I think it would be better for
America if Puerto Rico was its own nation. But that’s the plain truth, my friends. The United
States is a nation that represented God throughout our history.
Sometimes it’s the wrong God. I’ll admit that. It’s the God of, not of the Bible, but of false
Christianity, but it was still a better message than we’re giving to the world today.
The people of the world today are seeing that we are being a monster, and that is not good,
and God is not happy, in my opinion. This is Bob Barney for the Plain Truth Today. Hope you
have a great week.

Bye-bye.
