Friday Wrap-Up with Bob: December 26, 2025 (Transcript)

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO BOB BARNEY’S 7:11 BROADCAST: Friday Wrap-Up with Bob: December 26, 2025

Hi, Bob Barney, Friday night with a very brief Friday wrap-up of all the things went on this week and Christmas week that it was. We had a lot of Christmas shows this week and showing those who really want to pay attention and please God what Christmas is all about and it’s not anything to do with Jesus Christ. In fact, it is an affront to Jesus Christ if you put Christ or Jesus into Christmas because that is simply as you can go back and watch all the videos or listen to my show Wednesday and we replayed it again Thursday night.

Just listen or watch those other shows and you can see there is no honest way that anyone can say to put Christ into Christmas. This is Bob Barney, by the way, for The Plain Truth today brought to you by theplaintruth.com for our Friday wrap-up and the story I want to get to first of course is this MIT professor shooting as well as the Brown University shooting because more and more I am wondering really what is the reason that this happened because there is not a good scenario here. They can’t really find out the man’s motives and it’s just possible the man did not have a motive and that should be a problem that people think about before they make rash decisions about this a single gunman again.

(1:26) Well, we always come back to a single gunman and that he acted alone and that he committed suicide. You know, we started out with Lee Harvey Oswald. We had that with Sir Hans Sir Hans.It’s like the government and those people who want to push conspiracies along because they do a good job. They seem to have the same modus operandi. They seem to always have a lone gunman who’s crazy and that’s simply the answer.

(2:01) I told my wife and this is a funny thing here. I told my wife about the story of how why the mafia when they execute somebody would shoot them in the ear or the eye or the mouth and the reason for it was very simple. They were sending a message to the would investigate the you know, the police find a body in an alley somewhere and the person’s been murdered obviously, but then they notice there’s a gunshot in the eye or there’s a gunshot in the mouth or in the ears and that symbolized they saw too much they said too much or they heard too much and it was a sign that the mafia hitmen were leaving the police officers don’t bother investigating this because we did it now, you know, we did it and you’re never going to catch us anyway.

(2:40) So just move on and go find some other crimes to solve. Well in my opinion and I told my wife it seems to me that our government our deep state wants to be like the mafia. They’re trying to signal the American public that they’re behind something big business or the big deep state is behind it and they’re warning you if you want to investigate any further you’re going to end up in the same way. It’s almost like not trying to really cover up it’s really trying to tell you they’re behind something and if you want to ask questions you’re going to find the same fate. It’s almost like a threat and I start to believe this. So we have this MIT scientist that was murdered by supposedly this guy he knew back in Portugal but let’s look at a story a headline we had on the main page of the Plain Truth and as well as we keeping it on the message board to keep it alive as well it is entitled Daily Mail Story.`

(3:46) By the way I mentioned before this story last week that I thought this was a possibility because I knew what the man was working on but the headline is MIT scientist poised to up end fossil fuel industry before the assassination linked to Brown University shooter and it goes on to say the murdered professor from Massachusetts of technology was on the brink of a revolutionary energy sector that would up up end fossil fuels i.e. coal oil everything like that. Nuno Loreno I can’t pronounce his name I’m sorry if I butchered it. 47 was gunned down at his home in Boston Monday. That’s a week ago Monday. Authorities believe that the same alleged gunman who carried out a mass shooting at Brown University may have been the one who assassinate him at his home. Before his death Loreno I don’t know his name I should say the MIT professor was leading MIT’s efforts to revolutionize energy production by making a game-changing clean power source that needs just a fraction of fossil fuels current machines to use in vehicles and other machinery today. It’s fusion and I’ve talked about fusion in an episode that I did for the Plague Truth today many many months ago. I think it was actually two years ago when I first started. Fusion is atomic energy like the sun. The atomic bomb for example the H-bomb for example in all nuclear power plants use something called fission that is a type of nuclear radiation or nuclear energy used to heat water for like a nuclear power plant to make energy and it’s very efficient. It’s so far the most efficient way to produce electricity ever devised by man. It’s better than the sun actually and it’s more reliable than the sun or wind or solar a lot better than coal or oil but here’s the here’s the thing fission is not as efficient as another type of nuclear energy called fusion.

(5:02) Fusion does use like uranium 238 or some plutonium or something like that some kind of radioactive material but it breaks down over years in a very short time compared to the age of the universe for example so a fission reactor might have to be refueled every 20 years. Now that’s a savings if you’re not using I mean if you’re using oil or something like that but it’s not a savings when you think about every 20 years you have all this nuclear material that you got to somehow dispose of that’s radioactive for the next half a million years but fusion is the power of the sun created by God who created this universe to make a power source that basically never runs out of energy. The sun does not burn out. The sun is probably four billion years old like scientists believe because if you listen to this program you know that when God in Genesis 1 created the heavens and the earth in seven days it was the heavens and the earth was being recreated from a former glory of an earth that was destroyed because Satan the devil had corrupted it. We do not know how old this universe is. We really do not and the Bible does not tell you.

(7:10) Four billion years is very easily said so if the sun let’s say is four billion years old someone could take a piece of nuclear matter maybe the size of your fist and be able to generate enough power to provide all the energy lighting automobile train everything for New York City for example for a million years or more. Do you understand how revolutionary that is? Do you understand how that would absolutely upend the entire global economic system? You understand that maybe people would want him dead and maybe not this lone shooter who happened to commit suicide. Well his team going on with this article at MIT centered on plasma physics the study of super hot ionized gases and how to apply them to fusion energy and promising clean power source for the entire world. There’s a story if people understand Nikolai Tesla. Tesla claimed to have developed a power source that was free. He claimed that he had an instrument that could take free electricity from the atmosphere.

(8:28) The atmosphere is full of electricity. One lightning bolt for example has enough electricity to run the city of New York probably for a month or two months or three months and just one lightning bolt. And so the atmosphere is just full of electrical electricity. And so he claimed he had this tower that would bring electricity out of this the sky and you could power every single vehicle or everything you want. Homes, factories with free energy. Now J.P. Morgan was his backer. Tesla had worked for Edison and the two could not agree on anything and so Tesla left and he is the one by the way that gave us AC voltage instead of DC. Edison invented DC voltage which would be impossible to have the electric grid we have today if Tesla’s AC was not invented. DC cannot go more than a few miles before you have to have boosters again.

(9:34) AC was Tesla’s invention. So J.P. Morgan the great banker got behind him and was really interested in this idea that he could pull energy out of the sky and have electricity on demand for automobiles, factories, and homes until he discovered that Nikolai Tesla had no intentions on being able to charge anybody for it. This thing would be a one-time purchase, very little money, and then everybody would have free energy for the rest of their life in their car, their home, their factory, or whatever. And then J.P. Morgan said to him and other people, well how do we make money? Well we don’t make money. This is a gift to mankind. The third world would now become as well off as the first world. And well that went over great with Nikolai Tesla who was a person who believed in sharing the wealth but it didn’t go over very good with J.P. Morgan who pulled the plug. But the idea again that we for a long time know, many thinking scientists have known, that there can be power like from fusion which would allow us, by the way, to make aircraft, may make it through space for millions of miles, trillions of miles very quickly without any worry about power sources. So anyway, I think for the first part of this Friday wrap-up we really have to talk about and think about what is the possible real reason this MIT professor was killed.

And then you got to ask yourself the question, why did the Brown University students get killed? Was it just to throw people off at first? The killing had nothing to do with the MIT professor. They just wanted to have something to kill to get the news attention off the MIT professor. Think about that.I’ll be right back.

I thank you for listening. 

Bob Barney back for the next story that we covered on The Plain Truth last week for the Friday wrap up. And this really concerns these Venezuelan boats now or these fuel boats being confiscated by our Coast Guard going to Venezuela to pick up oil.

(12:39) I do believe in a way that Donald Trump really has the right to do this. You know, in the last few months, people cannot believe I ever voted for Donald Trump the way I’ve been talking, but there is a legal basis for this, unlike a lot of other things he’s doing. I’m not saying that he should continue doing without congressional approval, but these boats that he is confiscating are boats that the United Nations, and I’m no UN fan, but the world has declared as rogue vessels that have no flag, no protection of any national flag, and therefore helping Iran do its terrorism and other bad actors around the world, that these boats have the right to be confiscated. The problem is going to be what happens when China, who really also gets a lot of this oil, decides to send their own flayed carrion vessels to Venezuela to pick up that oil instead of these roadships. Do you think Donald Trump, Mr. Taco himself, is going to stand up to China and confiscate a Chinese boat or a Russian boat? I don’t think so. And so again, I think we have a strategy that may be right for a change, may be really right to do, but I don’t know if we have a plan what’s going to happen when our enemies, China and Russia, which are really not our true enemies, but we’re making them into our enemies if they like it or not, are going to be forced to do something to call on Trump’s bluff.

(14:20) And I think sending vessels from China or Russia or other countries is going to put an end to that thing. One of the other things that we talked about this week on the Plain Truths main page, and I think it’s kind of important, of course, we’ve gone through it, there’s a lot of stories about Christmas and what did Christmas really mean, but we had a Your Health Today story that is actually on the main page, I think it was December 21st, yes, I’m looking at it, and it’s a very important story about your health today, and that is the surprising fatty food linked to a lower risk of dementia. And we’ve gone through about 40 years of demonizing dairy fat, butter, full fat milk, ice cream, things like that. Well, now scientists have uncovered a link between eating healthy servings of high fat creams and cheeses and a reduced risk of having Alzheimer’s and dementia. In a 25-year study, that’s not a small study by the way, that included food dairies and interviews with more than 27,000 Swedes, researchers found out that eating at least 50 grams of full fat cheese per day and at least 20 grams of full fat cream per day were correlated with a lower dementia risk. Dementia, an umbrella term for Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia and other types, affect more than 7.2 million Americans a year, but most believe that rate is much higher than that.

(15:58) Nearly seven million of them have Alzheimer’s specifically, and some estimates post that more than 2.7 million have what’s called vascular dementia, which often goes undiagnosed. A high fat cheese such as cheddar, brie, gouda, I love brie, gouda by the way, contain more than 20% fat, while high fat creams contain 30 to 40% fat, including whipped cream, double cream, and like half and half or even full cream in your coffee, helped reduce the risk of dementia. But here’s the clicker, those people that were following a low-fat diet, especially a low fat when it came to dairy products diet, that were eating low fat cheese, low fat milk, low fat butter, kefir, and even low-fat cream, showed no anti-dementia benefit. Researchers also found that a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease among those who ate more high fat cheeses, but only among those not carrying the APOE4 gene variant, leading that to a genetic predisposition for Alzheimer’s. So a neurologist at Lund University said, for decades the debate over high fat versus low fat has shaped health advice, but sometimes now we’re discovering that that advice was wrong. Well, if you’ve been following Your Health Today, which has been on theplaintruth.com for at least 15 years that I can think of, we have touted the benefits of following a higher fat diet and not a low-fat diet, but it has to be organic and it must be grass-fed cattle and animals like sheep or goats.

(17:43) It has to be the animals of the Bible, by the way, that God says you can eat. But God intended us to have this product. You know what low fat milk really is? They take milk commercially and they take and they make all milk into skim milk and then they take the fat off and they make butter and they make cream and they make half and half and they put just enough fat commercially back into the milk to make it one percent or two percent. They’re adding it back and to keep it even. But what you really are drinking when you drink these products really is not even a milk product anymore. It is a highly processed product that causes heart disease, causes high cholesterol, believe it or not low fat causes higher cholesterol and there’s study after study to prove that and this is just another one about the dementia risk.

(18:31) We have been lied to again by a lot of our health, by the MAA and our health people who maybe really want to keep us sick because there’s money, there’s money in sick Americans and I hate to say that but there’s a lot of money in cancer, there’s a lot of money in heart disease and there’s a lot of money in just sickness in general and everybody is benefiting with that money benefit but you and I who are suffering from all the diseases and complications of our very, very strange diet that God never intended us to eat. Well the other topic of the week, there was two stories we had on the main page again. Tucker Carlson inflames a raging battle for MAGA’s future and then Candace Owen who has been at war with Erica Kirk and the Turning Point Foundation about the assassination of her husband because she believes it was a plot. Others believe even Vice President Vance was involved. I’m not sure about that by the way, any of the plot even but anyway MAGA is starting to fall apart, and Tucker Carlson is really and I think wrongly by the way trying to get Trump’s ear to move away from all of his intervention around the world. Well I am not for a lot of intervention around the world and some of those things I agree with Tucker Carlson however when he says to President Trump and he says he talks to him now more than ever, Trump was listening to him not necessarily following his advice it appears but he wants Trump to give up on Venezuela, what he’s doing down there, he might be right about that.

(20:15) I don’t necessarily have opinion one way or another except I don’t want to see us in all these foreign wars but then he says Israel is the big problem. Israel is not the big problem. Israel is only the problem because who Israel is like America is only the problem in the world because of who we really are. We are the true Israel, the United States of America, Canada and Britain and Israel is the true Judah and there are God’s people, we and the Jews are God’s people and Satan’s people of this earth hate our guts and they want us destroyed. That is the real the real truth and I think Tucker Carlson’s an anti-Semite anyway but that going forward he would tell Donald Trump to break all ties with Israel. Well you know what that really means if you break all ties with Israel? Let me give you a little interest here. America is a world power if we like it or not. America will be attacked worldwide if we like it or not so we need good intelligence. One thing we’ve learned John Kennedy learned with the Bay of Pigs operation is the American CIA is probably the worst intelligence agency in the world getting things wrong most of the time.

(21:24) Maybe he was involved in John Kennedy’s assassination but at the same time I think most experts give two countries spy agencies the being the premier in the world. Now somebody would say Russia’s in there and maybe China but we’re talking about of the free world and that is worldwide there is no spy agency equipped with the embedded people like MI6 of England. The James Bond, if you don’t know the James Bond story, James Bond was a British spy in the MI6.He was based on a real character of World War II that Ian Fleming turned into James Bond. James really existed in World War II and afterwards and he actually was a womanizer and he was a poker player and he did everything you see in these James Bond flicks. There really was such a man and if you do a little research you can figure out whose name really was Ian Fleming admitted it.

(22:21) The second place if you’re worried about what’s going on in the Middle East, you want to know what’s going on in Lebanon, you want to know what’s going on in Egypt, you want to know what’s on in Iran. There’s only one source and the source is the Mossad, the intelligence agency, the CIA, so to speak, of Israel and I got news for you. If we were to cut ties with Israel and lose that intelligence that comes from the Mossad, we would be in trouble in everything we’re doing in the Middle East and we probably would be losing thousands of Americans worldwide to Islam terrorists. That’s the plain truth and people like Tucker Carlson do not want to admit that the United States has enemies. We’re not the only people in the world doing all the harmful things. I don’t disagree that our country is doing a lot of harmful things right now around the world but there are other countries doing harmful things back to us and we have to have good intelligence and we just simply cannot match the intelligence the Mossad gives us and we don’t want that cut off and it would be a stupid thing on our part if it was cut off.

(23:28) Israel has on their payroll high-ranking members of Hezbollah, of ISIS, of the Iranian government. Who knows, Ayatollah Sun might be a spy for Israel, all we know, but that’s how they do what they can do in the Middle East and kill all of these terrorist leaders unbeknownst to them how they do it is because they have all of these spies that are not Jewish spies. They have been able to infiltrate the deepest innermost circles of these organizations of their enemies in the Middle East and have the best intelligence of any country in the world when it comes to the Middle East and we certainly need that intelligence and so the idea that we’re going to get away and we’re going to be an isolationist type country like what the Republicans wanted us to be in the 1930s.I tell my brother this when we talk on Sundays that I’m not a real fan of FDR’s domestic policies. He was a communist or wanted to be a communist but if it wasn’t for FDR’s vision of America’s power in the world and realizing that we were going to be in World War II if we liked it or not and he did not circumnavigate this Republican Congress in the 1930s who wanted to keep America out of all foreign wars and think we could have put our heads in the sand like an ostrich and nobody would have attacked us well if we waited probably an extra year Germany would have had the A-bomb and the V-2 rocket and New York City would be not here today. That’s the plain truth and FDR saved America from the monster called Hitler and the Japanese monster that would have been our enemy like it or not and the Republicans at the time in the 1930s would have been responsible for the deaths of many Americans.

(25:28) So I have to admit the truth when I see it and FDR though I didn’t like his economic policies was right on target when it came to World War II. The last thing I’m going to get to before I talk about the weekend shows is last night Trump, I guess was Wednesday, Thursday, Christmas even I guess it was, Trump bombed ISIS targets in Nigeria and I think he did the right thing there. Christians are being butchered alive and the Nigerian government actually wanted him to do so.So there are times Trump’s doing the right thing. Let’s hope this next year in 2060 he does a lot more of the things he used to do in Trump 1.0. This weekend starting tomorrow morning at 7 11 a.m. we have a video, a YouTube video, Is This Moses? and it goes over possible identifications in history of Egyptian leaders that just may have been the biblical Moses. Remember Moses was a pharaoh to be or a lesser pharaoh raised in the pharaoh’s home by the pharaoh’s own daughter.

So it’s possible that there are other sources who identify Moses. A captivating video. I recommend it for the Sabbath morning show tomorrow morning 7 11 a.m. You can watch it after that anytime you want.

(26:47) 7:11 p.m. is our entertainment again. It’s a David Thoreau short story called A Winter’s Walk. A solitary walk through a cold natural world without human beings in it. Nature alone and it’s kind of a spiritual walk that the short story walks you into. It’s a great little short story. Very famous. We put it up tomorrow 7 11 p.m. Of course Sunday we will have another show. I haven’t picked it out yet but we will have a weekly kind of wrap up YouTube video that I find and then we’ll be back here on Monday morning and noontime and evening 7 11 a.m. p.m. and noontime and I’ll probably have a noontime show.

This is Bob Barney. Hope you have a safe and blessed weekend. I do hope you follow the Sabbath day and until Monday when we come back live again Bob Barney. Thank you for listening. Bye-bye.
