Friday Wrap-Up with Bob: June 27, 2025 (Transcript)

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO BOB BARNEY’S MIDDAY BROADCAST: Friday Wrap-Up with Bob: June 27, 2025

Hi, it’s Bob Barney, and it’s another Friday wrap-up time. Friday, the last Friday of June, which I erroneously said last week, that was the last Friday of June, but this is the last Friday of June, and next week we get into July, and next weekend, the July 4th holiday, and we always do a lot of different programming on The Plain Truth today here, as well as ThePlainTruth.com about the 4th of July, the birthday of the United States of America, God’s country, yes it is, the former nation that we know in the Bible as Israel, and we always show you how the 4th of July came to be, what the history of it is, the signers of the Declaration of Independence, it’s a great program. Do you know what happened to the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence? Well, they pledged their fortunes and their good names and everything on that document, and many of those who signed that document died penniless, broke, in terrible, terrible shape, because they stood up for freedom and liberty.

They didn’t stand up for democracy, they didn’t stand up for anything but liberty, personal liberty, something we have forgotten today. But anyway, next week, like I said, next weekend, it will be a tribute to the American birthday, the 4th of July, the date that the Declaration of Independence was written. Now, getting into the big headlines for the week, I guess still you have to say that the big headlines for the week was the bombing of the Iran’s nuclear sites and the use of the big, beautiful bomb, or the Moab bomb, the bunker buster, that, depending on who you want to listen to, destroyed, obliterated the entire Iran nuclear program. Now, I do not believe that’s the truth, I’ll tell you the truth, and I’ll tell you why. Knowing Donald Trump as I know, no. If he had a report back that the entire operation of Iran trying to build a nuclear bomb was obliterated, and I’m sure there was great damage done to all three sites, probably irreparable damage done in some of these sites, but I believe that there’s probably intelligence, and it’s probably from Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, more than our own CIA, which sometimes is quite inept, but I think you’re going to find there was intelligence given to Donald Trump Monday morning, and it might explain his rant and his F-word use when he found out that they had removed a lot of the enriched uranium from their known sites, and they had hidden sites that are not listed as potential sites, and that the progress of Iran getting a nuclear weapon was probably not obliterated, but put back a year or two, or maybe even less, but let’s say a year or two, and I think that’s realistic to believe that.

I’ve heard many experts who are both Trump fans and anti-Trump fans all claim, General Petraeus, by the way, was on TV a couple nights ago, and he said there’s no way that these bunker-busting bombs failed their mission. They had to do such horrendous damage to that nuke site that all of those really intricate machinery and computers in that tunnel, that 300 feet, would have been absolutely destroyed by the vibration and the movement of the explosions, if not covered by the rocks itself that fell down that shaft of some 300 feet. So he agreed that the Iran nuclear program was severely damaged, but what he said made more sense to me, and at one time he was a hero to the right, and I don’t know about today after what he said, but what he said was, in his opinion, they probably got some of that material out of there before the strike, because we had been anticipating that, or they had been anticipating that strike, either by Israel to a lesser extent or by the United States of America to a bigger extent.

And he also said, remember this, Iran has lied, cheated, and connived their way into the nuclear program now for some 25 years, and even before that they were trying. And he said, I cannot imagine a situation, and I’m sure our intelligence, and I’m not sure about that, but he said, I’m sure our intelligence shows that they probably have some sites that they’re working on the nuke bomb that is not registered with the UN, that wasn’t registered with America, and they’ve kept secret, and they’ve kept secret from the entire world, just in case the thing that happened, happened. And I kind of think that might be somewhat closer to the truth, and I’ll tell you why.I think I know Donald Trump quite well, and I think if Donald Trump knew that this was an absolutely obliteration of Iran, and they had no chance at all within a year or two or three re-entering into the nuke business, trying to get a nuke bomb, I think he would have been unbelievably harsh on them, not trying to make a peace talk with them. I think he would say, surrender, unconditional surrender, or we will continue to plummet you if there’s any nuclear bomb material, and we will find you, and we will get rid of you. He would have been tough, he would have been unyieldingly tough, and the idea that Monday he comes up and says, I don’t care, we destroyed everything, their whole nuke program, now we need to talk, we need peace in the Middle East.

He announced peace before the Iranians and the Israelis agreed to it, it seems like. There was a breach in that peace, and American base was rocketed. Iran did telegraph to us that they were going to do so, because Iran does not want America to retaliate. What Iran leaders really wanted, and I think they got, was they were a snake that was run over by a car, and they were in bad shape, and they did not want to get run over by a car a second time, or they would have all died. Eight of their top leaders were taken out, remember this, by Israel the week before. Eight of their top, I believe, 12 or 13 leaders were killed. One or two of those may not have been killed. Yesterday morning, my wife was telling me, I didn’t hear it, she was telling me that somebody saw pictures alive of two of the people Israel claimed they killed, so that may or may not be true. But what I was going to say is, I think Donald Trump would have taken a much stronger line, and Iran, they want to capitulate, because they are that snake that’s been run over, and what they really want to do is get time to heal, lick their wounds, and go back and fight against that great Satan America and its ally Israel, or really what we should call Judah in the Middle East. And that’s what I think, and I think the idea of us now getting into negotiations with Iran absolutely weakens us and doesn’t help us. Maybe I’m wrong, and I hope I am wrong. I hope he gets a peace deal with Iran, that they open up everything, everything, everything that Donald Trump is promising happens. I really do hope that. Believe me, I am not trying to talk down this president any more than I have to. I really think he was the last hope, because what follows him is going to be worse than whatever he’s doing.

Most likely, it’s going to follow by some what we got in New York City. The mayor candidate now for the Democratic Party is a communist. That’s what we have in Chicago. That’s basically what we have in LA. American cities are being confiscated, taken over, infiltrated by our enemies, people who want to see all of us that are truly Americans dead. And we needed to keep these people out of office. And a lot of this lies on the ground of the American people. But the American people did go en masse to support Donald Trump to be the president of the United States in 2024. It is now Donald Trump’s job, because I believe God saved his life, and I believe God wanted him as president. But God does not tell somebody what they have to do. God expects them to do the right thing. Just go to the Bible and read Kings and Chronicles, and how all of these kings did bad or good in the sight of the Lord. And many times, God would keep forgiving even these kings. Oh, God found excuses for why he let them get along with keeping the Easter poles up and people worshiping Baal. God kept finding excuses to bail out these kings. Well, God is trying to find an excuse to bail out Donald Trump, because Donald Trump has made a lot of mistakes. But if Donald Trump can get this piece going, and it’s really real, which I tell you, the Bible says it’s not going to happen, just say that right from now, it would be great if he could do it, even if it lasted only another 25 years. The Middle East could be an absolute Mecca for the West. What Dubai is right now, the most beautiful city in all of the Middle East, the most modern, pro-Western city in all the Middle East, that could be Iran. Iran was, and we had many stories up last week, about how just modern and pro-Western Iran was in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, until the Shah was defeated by our own policies and our own CIA and our president, Jimmy Carter, which got him overthrown and he had to flee the country. And we got Iran taken over by a religious zealot dictator, the Supreme Leader.

How you like that name? Supreme Leader. Tells you a lot, all you need to know about that idiot. But I do hope there is some kind of a piece there, but I wouldn’t put my whole career on it. Getting back to the economy, one of the things that just slips by everybody, we’re seeing all of this bullish, you watch CNBC or Fox Business, you keep seeing these rosy pictures about our stock market. Our stock market is very resilient and it’s going back up, it goes back down, but it’s going back up. It’s still not at its height, I think the Nasdaq is, but what’s not being reported too much is we can’t sell our debt, we’re having a hard time finding people to take over these debts, notes coming due around the world. I think it’s some seven trillion dollars still due in the month of July alone. And the other thing is the American dollar continuously gets weaker and weaker against the European, EU, euro, and just the currency of the world. So anyway, the economy, in my opinion, is still waiting for the other shoe to drop. And if the tariffs are not negotiated away, and there’s still that hope that maybe Donald Trump’s going to pivot, and he’s going to claim victory maybe, but he’s going to do away with most of these tariffs with most of the nations of the world. And if he does so, I think the economy still can be saved, and I think the Republicans could have a very good 2026 if the economy changes, because people do vote the economy stupid, as a former Democrat strategist named James Carville coined in 1992 and turned out to be right. If the economy does not go down, Wall Street goes up, Main Street goes up, prices start coming down if gas starts coming down. I think the Republicans are in good shape. But I’m afraid if these tariffs are not dealt with and not done away with, Americans are going to see inflation come July and August of this year before Labor Day at a site they haven’t seen really, even worse than Biden’s, even since 1978 and 79 under Jimmy Carter, because companies cannot absorb 30, 40, 50, 60, 70% tariffs. They can’t afford it.

You look at the biggest companies or even little companies like my own, we work on 5, 6, 7% net. Well, how will I absorb a, let’s say a 100% increase in my cost of goods if I’m only making a 7% net? It doesn’t take too smart of a person to figure out that you’re going to have about a, I don’t know, about a 33% loss if you don’t raise your prices. And already we’re seeing many, many companies, car companies, parts companies, paint companies, furniture companies raising their prices, and it’s because of the tariffs. Tariffs are a very, very poor way for a government to deal with unfair trading practices. You know, China has 150% tariffs on some American goods. Then we should take that good and put 150% tariff on that, not on everything, but on that. For example, Canada, I had a friend of mine, my insurance agent come in and says, yeah, but Canada has a 300% tariff on dairy. And I said, do you understand why they have a 300% tariff on dairy? Because Canada is a very small country and their dairy farms are all small family farms. And they’re trying to protect that lifestyle for those people because they know in Canada, they cannot compete against the corporate dairy farm of America. People don’t realize this, but most of the milk you buy in a grocery store is not milked by some family farmer with his kids. They’re milked by these industrial conglomerate businesses that milk two, three, 4,000 cows a day. I seen a video one time, it’s unbelievable. Cows automatically, like a robot, walks in to be milked. They know when it’s time to milk. I guess their udder is full.

They walk in and they stand at a stall. They know exactly where to stand. And this robot comes up and grabs the nipples on the teats and washes them and sucks out the milk. And the minute it’s done, the cow is eating grain, what the cow wants. And after it’s done, it releases from the cow and the cow walks out and another cow, there’s not even a person milking these cows. These cows milk by themselves in these factory farms. There’s no way a family farm in Canada could. So I said, the answer to that is we put a 300% tariff on Canadian dairy. Canadian farmers ain’t going to care anything because they’re not selling in America anyway. They can’t compete against factory farms. The factory farms, by the way, did away with American small family dairies 40 years ago, just for anybody’s knowledge. You’re not saving jobs in America when you protect American dairy farmers, who for the most part are corporations. And that’s with a lot of our food supply. A lot of our food supply is really controlled by billion dollar corporations and not by Jane and Paul out there with their kids, you know, farming. That’s some of the farms you might buy your farm goods in the summertime at a country stand somewhere, but that’s not where Whole Foods is getting their foods. That’s not where Publix is getting their foods or Kroger. They’re buying it from big industrial mega corporations that claim to be farmers and they get all kinds of welfare, more welfare than any American citizen to compete against American little farmers. That’s the plain truth.

That’s what’s going on. We’re going to take a quick timeout and finish up this week and what tomorrow is going to be about after this word from The Plain Truth.

Hi, Bob Barney here for theplaintruth.com and theplaintruthtoday.com, the one place you can go to every day to find out what’s going on and what it could mean to you and if God has anything to do with it.God lets you know, if you know his Bible, what’s going to happen in the future, and you should be aware of it as well. That’s theplaintruth.com and theplaintruthtoday.com. Thank you very much for listening. Back to the show.

Hi, it’s Bob Barney again with The Plain Truth wrap-up on theplaintruthtoday.com, brought to you by theplaintruth.com. One of the things I wanted to mention was the other day, I think it was maybe Wednesday, there was a TV news report about an American Airlines flight, I think it was flight, I’m looking at here, 1665, that made an emergency landing in Las Vegas, and we could see in the air the sound of the engine popping, and you could see flames coming out of the engine. It reminded you of that Korean jetliner that crash landed and never slowed down and ran into the barrier that we saw back in December, and the Plain Truth message board has been trying to keep up with the story on that crash because there’s a lot that still does not make sense with that crash. But do you remember how in the headlines it was Boeing, Boeing, Boeing, Boeing, and I wrote a few stories and I had a few commentaries on the Plain Truth Today about I believe there is this concerted effort, I don’t know if it’s Satan the devil putting it in everybody’s mind in the press, or if there is a conspiracy in the press to destroy Boeing, the last American airplane builder, which is critical to America’s safety, security, and military, and to replace it with Airbus, which seems to get away with every kind of problem there is.

So we’re watching this thing on, I believe it was News Nation, it could have been Fox Business or CNBC, that’s basically what we watch in the morning, if we watch. And I saw the report and it says, American airline flight 1665 from Las Vegas had engine compressor problems, and you hear the pop, pop, pop, and you see the thing, and it landed safely, ba-ba-boom. And I said, you notice they didn’t mention the word Boeing. You know, Tammy, if it was Boeing, I think you would have heard that in the first two things in the headline when it said Boeing. So never found out the story, I tried to look it up that day so I could report it yesterday or something, or have something on a message board. And it was just a story about the American Airlines that was headed for Charlotte, and it just had a compressor problem. So this morning before I did this show, I’m sitting in the sauna, going through my phone for notes for the show, and I’m looking, and here on Instagram is, inside American Airlines flight 1665 as it made an emergency landing at Las Vegas airport on June the 25th, Custer’s last day anniversary. And here’s the story. An American Airlines flight headed for Charlotte was forced to make an emergency landing Wednesday morning, shortly after takeoff from Harry Reid International Airport, which is in Vegas.

Flight 1665, an Airbus A321 departed Las Vegas around 8 20 a.m. with 153 passengers. Need I say anything else about that story? An Airbus A321, by the way, the Airbus A321 is probably the most accident-prone airplane that is allowed to fly in the sky. You remember the 737 Max, which had two crashes by third world airlines that had it, that they could not control the computer, the computer went berserk, took over the airplane and crashed it, and the pilots didn’t know what to do, and they crashed. And yet, I pointed out at the time, it was a software glitch that the training manual showed you, that’s why no Americans or no modern countries with that 737 Max had an accident, that the training manual showed you how to disable the computer and reboot it and take over manual control when such a situation would happen. And everybody would think when I said that probably, well that’s a problem, they should have been grounded, that’s unbelievable. Do you know the A321 has a problem since I believe 1995 or so, you can go look this up and you watch why airplanes crash on TV. Well the A321 has a problem, that you know, it’s a two-engine jet and there’s the lever, you pull forward, you push forward for more thrust, you pull back for less thrust, well when you’re landing an airplane and you’re at three-quarter thrust and there’s a braking point where you have to land, you’re a hundred feet over the runway, you pull back the lever all the way to neutral, all the way off, and that lets the thrust end and the plane comes gently down and lands, nose touches down, then you throw the reverses on and put the throttle all the way to full power again. Well there was a glitch, or there is a glitch in the A321 that just before you touch down and you pull it back, you pull it back and it goes to zero and just before you land you got your hands on the yoke again and all of a sudden one of the levers goes all the way to full, all by itself, zoom right to full, and two or three crashes happen because of it and because it’s the most critical moment is when you’re landing. Now the training manual now says the pilots have to keep their hand on it as they land and not one on both on the yoke and this to prevent the computer from forcing the right or left engine to go full throttle.

It’s never been fixed and why wasn’t it fixed? Because it said in the report I watched on because it was a software issue they could not find a solution for. Even rewriting the software it kept doing it. So what they did was they trained every pilot just to keep your hand on the throttle so it would not go full throttle. Now isn’t that amazing? The Boeing 737 Max was grounded for over a year because they could not change the problem with the software and it was not allowed to fly even though if you followed the manual with your proper training you knew that if the plane started acting erratically, the automatic pilot, that you shut it off you shut off the computer and you take manual control. But Airbus got away with it but Boeing did not. If you don’t see a conspiracy to put the last American airline builder out of business then you don’t see conspiracies and you don’t see the plain truth because that’s what’s going on my friends. There is this effort around the world especially coming from Europe to take over America. We’ve got our eyes on China. China does not want to destroy America.

We’re one of their biggest customers. As a nation we are their biggest customer. It’s getting your eyes off focus on what really matters. Europe is trying to dominate. Everybody’s happy that Donald Trump got Europe to commit five percent of their GDP to defense. What nobody’s even reporting is that five percent of the GDP that Germany, Italy and all these countries in Europe are going to spend is on their own military. Not in NATO, on their own military. They are going to become a military might again like they were in 1930s. Do we want a re-armed Germany or a re-armed Japan with military people in control of the nation like we had you know about 75-85 years ago? And that’s what’s happening. This is not good news. Europe is the beast of the Bible. Any good Bible commentary will tell you that the Holy Roman Empire is going to be revised and that is where the Antichrist comes out of.It’s just that simple. So keep your eyes on Europe. Don’t keep your eyes on China and don’t keep your eyes on Russia.

Now you should keep your eyes on Iran because the Middle East is always going to be in your future and always be a problem. Well that’s all I’m going to say about the wrap-up for the week. I would like to get into the weekend.

We have a good show. Garnett and Armstrong show for the Sabbath morning. It’s going to be really good. I think you’ll like it. Also Saturday night we’re going to have another one of those Westerns. We’ve had two weeks in a row now. These are really good 30-minute stories. They all have a moral to them, like a biblical moral, and that’s why I haven’t picked any of them. And a lot of the ones I put up, my wife don’t even want to listen to them, but these Westerns she’s been very intrigued with listening to them. So we’re going to have one more of those up, at least one more Saturday night, tomorrow night. And then Sunday we’re going to have not one video at the 7 11 a.m hour. We’re going to have, I believe, four. And it’s going to be four short 8 to 10 minute videos to make about an hour or a little less. The first one is Britt Hume barbecues Pete Hegseth. You got to watch the whole thing before you get to Britt Hume, about him complaining about reporters trying to make Trump look bad over this battle, over this bombing. And it’s really important to watch. And also out under that one is going to be General Petraeus talking about, of course, we know that the bombing did its mission and that it severely damaged the nuclear program of Iran, but it probably did not stop it at all. And he goes into explain why. Now, if you go back 20 years ago, General Petraeus was a darling of the right, and he was hated by the left. General betray us. The Democrats called him. And now all of a sudden the mega Republicans don’t want to hear anything for General Petraeus because he’s not in step that Donald Trump said their nuclear program was obliterated when it was not. Then the third video we’re going to show is a very important one. It’s if you know the Cuban community in Miami, they have been very Republican for some 50, 60 years now. And now there is this short video we put up is how they feel betrayed for their support of Donald Trump, because he is not deporting criminal illegal aliens. He did not go after all these sleeper cells that we knew came over the board and under Biden, which I have been saying for the last year and a half now, why aren’t we going after them? And when Trump started all these deportations of people mowing your lawn or picking your vegetables, why aren’t we going after these Iranians? Well, last week they picked up about 1500 Iranians. That means they could have done it last month.

But we wait until Iran has to be bombed before all of a sudden we go after these sleeper cells. If that’s not a problem, I don’t think you know what a problem is. And the last one is going to be a funny one for those people who follow AOC, Cortez, because it really makes fun of her. Andrew Cuomo does a great job just tearing her apart, how inept she is, how stupid she is, and how she’s never accomplished anything in her six-year career as a congresswoman in Washington, D.C., except line her pockets with a crap load of money because she’s become filthy rotten rich. This ex-bartender who used to steal the waitress’s tips. That’s true. And now she’s stealing your tax dollars, lining her pockets with it. So anyway, that’s the wrap-up for this Friday. Remember, tomorrow is the Sabbath day. We keep saying, honor the Sabbath day. It’s one of the top ten. All these Republicans want the Ten Commandments posted all over the place, but they don’t want to follow the fourth command, observe the Sabbath day, and keep it holy. And like I said, we’ll have a 7-11 a.m. show with Garner Ted Armstrong, an old one from about 30 years ago. And we’re going to have another short story, a Western short story, tomorrow evening at 7-11. And then Sunday, we have those videos.

And I’ll be back here Monday with another edition of The Plain Truth Today, brought to you by theplaintruth.com. And we appreciate everyone who listens every day and who also takes the time to email us both complaints, questions, whatever. I like to know somebody’s listening. So until Monday, Bob Barney for The Plain Truth saying thank you for listening. We love you all. Bye-bye.
