Friday Wrap-Up with Bob: June 5, 2026 (Transcript)

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO BOB BARNEY’S 7:11 BROADCAST: Friday Wrap-Up with Bob: June 5, 2026

 

Hi, Bob Barney with The Plain Truth today, brought to you by theplaintruth.com, and it’s again another Friday wrap-up where we go over the shows for the weekend at the end of the program, if we have time, we try to do that, as well as what were the big stories of the week, and lately it’s usually the Iran war, the price of gas, and other things, but there are other things that are important to mention that we will mention as well on theplaintruth.com, as well as the message board in these broadcasts, and that’s what the Friday wrap-up does, it wraps up the whole week, and sometimes Sunday we try to do another person’s perspective, like Mark Halperin, and people like that, for their weekend review on a Sunday. We look at the Sunday show, there’s only one of them, like it’s a, you know, a normal face-to-nation type show, we try to do that for Sunday, and Saturday, of course, is the Sabbath day, and we do a Sabbath morning religious type programming, describing what God wants you to do, what it’s all about, to understand God, and then Friday, I’m sorry, Saturday night, we do a 7-11 p.m. show, which is an entertainment show,and we always try to find some great entertainment show to make you feel like you have something you can sit back, you can cast it to your TV, if you know how to do that, and watch it full screen, and some of these shows are pretty good. So, let’s get on with the first show.

Well, actually, the first thing I’m going to talk about is the main page of the Plain Truth. When you go to theplaintruth.com, up above you can find the broadcast, it’s called podcast, you can findYour Health Today, and you can find the message board, but if you go down the page, you will seethe stories of the day, and basically, it goes down to almost the stories of at least most of the week. If you have page two on the bottom, it takes you to the rest of the week, and some are last week.

But, for example, in our Plain Truth Today broadcast on June 1st, we had a show called China Can’t Afford to Invade Taiwan, and I really welcome people to go back and look at that program. It’s an audio video from YouTube, and it explains quite well how weak, and I did a and that’s just not being reported in the press. We try to make China the big boogeyman, a lot like we did the Soviet Union.

It turned out even they were a little bit of a paper tiger, even in their heyday. But that was a story we put up, and it’s very, very important to see that. The other one is about how Ukraine, right above that, there’s another story.

This is a main page story. It’s not a podcast story. It’s a journal that you read.

You click on it, and you read the story. And it’s, as Ukraine begins to turn the tide of the war, Christians remain the prime Russian target. Yeah, you heard that right.

Russia is targeting Christian groups as Ukraine is whipping the butt of Russia in this four-year war, when everyone, including yours truly, thought it would be a three-week war, and Russia would win. And Russia has shown the world how just weak they are. And basically, I think any third-rate country could defeat Russia right now.

And Russia’s lost a million soldiers, and I don’t know how many dollars they have spent. It’s just a bad situation that they’re in. I also spent, I believe it was Tuesday, on the podcast again, on the Plain Truth podcast.

I had my own show about the Fage therapy, and shows the morning and the evening show about superbugs, superbacteria bugs that are resistant to almost all known antibiotics. I was a victim of one of those, and it was very scary. But there is a different treatment than I had, and it’s cutting-edge, where it turns out that certain viruses that are found in sewers, it looks like every bacteria that we’ve ever discovered is found in a sewer, in a septic tank.

And believe it or not, for every strain of bacteria, there is a strain of virus that eats that bacteria. And then after it fills up with the bacteria, and it kills it all, it itself dies, and there’s no side effects. And it’s almost 100% accurate.

It’s going to be, in my opinion, you heard it here at the Plain Truth, in my opinion, because my infectious disease doctor had never even heard about it. It’s being done at the University of California in San Diego. They have 82 success stories.

Now, University of Virginia in Charlottesville is starting this study and probable treatment coming, and I may need it myself. But it’s going to be the news of your future. Like T-cells were about eight years ago, seven years ago.

There’s a lot of T-cell therapy today, the so-called killer cancer cells. Well, this phage therapy using viruses to kill the superbugs is going to be main page news in your future. And again, we try to be cutting edge here at the Plain Truth, especially on Your Health Today, which is another link that you go to from our page, plaintruth.com. And we just have a lot of late-breaking research going on about cancers, breast cancers, prostate cancers, lung cancers, everything in the world, and things that you won’t find in one website anywhere on the face of this earth.

Also, this week we had a late-breaking story that John Bolton pled guilty to a lesser charge of his classified secrets reversal thing. It was a lawfare by Trump. Everybody was mad, including myself, when we saw Trump, a victim of lawfare.

But this revenge tour of Donald Trump, it’s just going to get every one of his enemies forgetting that John Bolton worked for him. And John Bolton, just because he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, that is what your lawyer will always tell you to do. Doesn’t make you guilty.

I mean, Donald Trump himself pled guilty on a lot of things for lesser charges in his life, and he made sure he lets everyone know you do that just to get, you know, you pay off people like you paid off Stormy Daniels. Doesn’t mean you really had an affair with her. It’s cheaper in the long run to settle something quickly, even if it’s not true.

But Donald Trump’s former national security advisor named John Bolton will plead guilty, the Daily Mail is reporting, to a single count of illegal retention of sensitive national security documents, sources close to CNN reported. The 77-year-old was indicted last year on 18 counts. He’s only pleading guilty to one.

He’s agreed to pay a $2 million fine as part of the deal. I’m sure he has that money and more. The one count of illegally retaining documents can land him in prison for up to five years.

But with this plea deal, I doubt there’s going to be any prison time other than the pain, the fine, and Donald Trump can boast that he got his nemesis, and it’s not going to be the case. John Bolton’s not going to shut up. And if you read the comments in the Daily Mail, almost everyone sees this as revenge tour of Donald Trump, that he’s doing to his victims what was done to him, but he doesn’t see the ramifications of what he’s doing.

And it’s going to come back to haunt him, because what he’s doing is going to have no sympathywhen the Democrats take over. And when they do take over, they’re going to go after him. And that’s just what’s going to happen.

And he’s not going to get the sympathy he got the first time around, except for the real diehard ever Trumpers that will stick with him no matter what he shot, you know, an old lady in the Central Park, they wouldn’t have a problem. But I’m telling you right now, this is not smart on his part, but he is like a catty old woman can’t shut his mouth, and he can’t stop doing his revenge tour. And it’s hurting the country.

And it’s hurting his reputation, really in his reputation as a president. You know, Trump 1.0, his first term in office, he was a fantastic and amazing president for middle class workers, as well asmiddle class business owners, not the big billionaires he wants to surround himself with now. And every single group of so called minorities and majorities made more money, drastically more money under Trump 1.0, than they did under any previous president, including Ronald Reagan.

Blacks made the most money in that four years time they ever made. Chicanos, Mexicans, Hispanics made more money in that four years than they have ever in a period before. Same with women in the workplace.

The same with white males and females working just normally. The price of goods stayed low, there was low inflation, very low gas prices. How many people remember $1.39, $1.49 a gallon for gas? I remember that in 2018.

And everybody made good money and their pay raises were above that of inflation. And everyone was living good in the middle class. And the rich people really didn’t do as well under the first Trump administration as they’re doing today.

And that’s a problem. And I’m telling you right now, that he is misreading the sentiment of the average middle class American right now that is suffering, suffering major with unbelievable gas prices that are really staying artificially too high, unbelievable electric light bills that are coming that hardly anybody’s covering. How about your homeowner insurance and your car insurance, which has doubled and tripled over two years time, the last year Biden and the first year Trump.

The same goes with property taxes. The same goes with almost every cost of living thing you can think of, high interest on house loans and credit cards for that matter. All of this is hurting the consumer.

I’ll be right back. Hi, Bob Barney for the Friday wrap-up at theplaintruth.com. And we want to remind everyone that these shows are what’s happening today, what it means for you and your family, what you can do about it, and understand that the Bible is not some dusty old book that was written by a bunch of old fanatical people in 2000 years ago, but it was written by peopleinspired by God, told by God, like in the case of Moses, what to write, predicting the future of this world and the future of your world. If you just take that Bible, blow the dust off of it, and start reading it, and you will find there’s stuff there that you never thought was there.

You can find all that news as it is understood by the Bible itself from theplaintruth.com,theplaintruthtoday, yourhealth.com, and yourhealthtoday.com, I’m sorry, and the Message Board. This is Bob Barney. Thank you for listening.

We’re going to have the show right now because I did that one live. That wasn’t a taped commercial for the Friday wrap-up. The next story I wanted to talk to you is, again, it’s a story that just has not been reported.

It was on Motley Fool press release. In the last 60 days, gold has replaced U.S. bonds worldwide, especially amongst the central banks around the country. Gold has replaced U.S. treasury notes, the 10-year especially, and even the 30-year, that countries used to buy in droves because our bonds were the safest place, not a lot of money to be made, but it was a safe place to put billions and tens of billions of dollars, knowing that it was safe, it would never go down in value, and you had a decent rate of return, and it was a lot more and a lot less volatile than gold, or than oil, or than stock markets, or lending money to third world countries would maybe them going kaput on you.

So they were always in U.S. treasuries and U.S. bonds, and about the last 60 days, we have seen a great sell-off of the United States bonds and treasury notes from foreign central banks, andwhat have they been buying? They’ve been buying tons, tons of gold bullion bars, gold coins, butmainly gold bullion bars, and that is a problem because as these countries start selling off our treasury notes or not renewing them in the bonds and going to gold, two things is going tohappen. It’s going to force us to raise interest rates on those bonds, which has happened in thelast 60 days, the interest rates are going up, and that’s going to magnify the national debt. Right now we spend about six and a half trillion dollars a year on our total budget that has never beenapproved by Congress or the President really in the last 30 years, but our budget a year is aboutsix and a half trillion dollars of spending.

The single largest cut of that six and a half trillion dollars is just paying the interest of the national debt, which is one trillion dollars right now, and if those interest rates were to double, that would be two trillion out of a six and a half, and that would mean every single program that you depend on, everything the government does would be cut by at least 35 percent, and the ramifications would be horrible for the average American out there, and that’s what’s happening, but a report that came out that we have on a message board, treasury yields are soaring, that’s the price that they have to pay now, and that’s not a coincidence with Kevin Warsh, now the leading Federal Reserve. He’s a hack of President Trump. Trump wants low interest rates, easy money, which causes runaway inflation, and foreign governments to unload our bonds and securities, but here is the little known fact that’s happened in the last 60 days, and I guarantee you, when you’re listening to me right now, you do not know this fact, but in the last 60 days, especially in the last 25 days, the Fed bought 24 percent of all bonds that needed to be bought in order to keep our books from going kaput.

24 percent of the 30-year bond, and 24 to 25 percent of the 10-year bond, and just to let you know what that means, it’s never happened on a 30-year bond before. When we had the quantitative easing under Obama, and the Fed was buying up to 50 percent of our bonds because nobody wanted the worthless paper then either, he was only doing it with the 10-year bond. We’re doing it with the 30-year bond, and that’s dangerous, and any expert that you can find talking about it, and very few are talking about it, will just tell you exactly how dangerous, how absolutely dangerous that our Fed is buying up these 30-year Treasury notes, and what does it mean when they buy 24 percent of the debt? Well, it was, I think it was $38 billion they bought in the last 25 days.

That means on paper. They don’t, you know, start to print and press and print more dollar bills. When it says about printing money, they’re printing fiat money.

They’re printing money in ledger’s accounts. So they say, well, over in this ledger, there’s $38 billion worth of bonds coming due this week, and we’re going to take this ledger, money we don’t really have, and we’re going to pay it off with that, and they’ll give us an IOU, and we’ll give an IOU to our people that we get the money from, because what we’re going to do is just artificially create the money, because we’re the United States government, and we can do that, and that is a prescription for runaway inflation, which we are going to see more and more. If you think inflation is low now, it is going to, unbelievable, to bark up if the government keeps easing the price of money and buying debt.

Printing money and the price of gold is going to again skyrocket. It’s been sitting about $4,500 to $5,000 now since December, but last year, the price, in 2025, because of the inflationary practices of this president and this Congress, gold doubled, and I predict that probably at the end of 2026 to 2027, gold is going to double again, which means you would have $9,000 to $10,000 an ounce gold. You would have a 5, maybe a 15 in some goods and services percent inflation, and you will have the middle class going under.

Ray Dalio, for example, and I listen to him a lot, he has studied the birth and death of nations andempires, and they all fall economically for the same reason, and they really fall economicallybefore they fall militarily, and that is because they overextend themselves with credit, and then can’t pay it back, and then everything collapses. Then they start printing money where all of a sudden, like what happened in 1929 in Germany, where it took a wheelbarrow of dushmarks to buy a loaf of bread. You just look that up for yourself.

Just do a Google search about the inflation, the superinflation in the German government in the 1920s and 30s, which gave rise to Adolf Hitler. It’s going to happen again in Europe, and we’re going to have another Hitler-type arise in Europe. The Bible says so, if you don’t know that.

He’s called the You may know that person as the Antichrist that you find in Revelation. He’s coming out of Europe, folks. He’s going to be the Antichrist.

He’s also called the King in the North in the book of Daniel, and he is going to rule Europe with the aid and this cooperation of the false prophet, which is none other than the Pope in the Holy Roman Empire, and it’s going to be the true enemy of the modern world. Not Russia, not China, and don’t think America is going to be around to stop them because America is going into captivity. The Bible says so.

If you know who the identity of America is, you know exactly what’s going to happen to America someday in the future. I keep saying we can prolong it if we go back as a nation to God, but what I see doesn’t seem to be happening. We have a country full of people who want to get for themselves, and they don’t care if they rob from their neighbors, if they rob from their own children’s future so they can live well.

They don’t care, and when you have a country lose all of its morality when it comes to stealingother people’s money, stealing other people’s goods, well, that’s one of the Big Ten Commandments that you’re told to follow, and this country is going the way where the majority of Americans just simply do not follow the Ten Commandments. They covet what their neighbor has, they commit adultery, they break the Sabbath day, they don’t even believe in God, a lot of them, but even those who do, they fall on one thing. They all want to steal from their neighbor, and they call it taxes, or they call it the rich paying their fair share.

There’s all kinds of code words that people want to use, but it’s just plain down thievery in breaking the Ten Commandments. And I’ll be right back. This is Bob Barney here.

Do you remember, if you’re old enough to remember commercials back from the 1970s when the Worldwide Church of God used to play commercials called, Are We the Modern Romans? Well, that is a question that we still answer today on these broadcasts and on the main page of theplaintruth.com. Are we the modern Romans? Is America in decline like the ancient civilization of Rome went into decline? And I think many people have to think that may be true. You can find out information about America’s destiny, its future, and where it’s found in the Bible if you go to theplaintruth.com. Go there and you will be surprised with some of the things you will find. That’s theplaintruth.com, where you can find Your Health Today, The Message Board, and these podcasts.

Thank you. And we’re back to the final wrap-up of what’s going to happen. Hi, we’re back.

And one of the topics we have on The Message Board, and we keep it quite fresh, is a string with many, many posts to it now called Lawlessness in America. And the idea of, as we constantly promote, that God is the author of the law, the Ten Commandments, which was written by his own finger, Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Old Testament, and he had promised in the New Testament with us today that he is going to write those same laws in our hearts and in our minds, not on stone, but in our spirit. And that is what a true Christian follows, is the law of God, the Ten Commandments, including the Sabbath day, which we’ll talk about at the end of the show fortomorrow, which is the Sabbath day.

However, the lawlessness in America when it comes to our courts allowing criminals out multiple times to commit multiple crimes, and just in general how the law is just basically not enforced in America today. We know that January 6th, in my opinion, was not an insurrection as people tried to portray it. It was, in my opinion again, mainly people, a lot of mega people, many of those sincere people that did believe the 2020 election was stolen, and I’m one of them, though I didn’t show up at the place, but they were American patriot citizens that marched outside the Capitol and wished they had a right to do.

And many of those who were arrested were, in my opinion, was arrested because of political reasons of the Biden administration. You had people held without being able to see a lawyer for over a year. This is using the Patriot Act, which is unconstitutional, that George Bush II put in, and the point is, is the Bill of Rights was trashed with most people on January 6th that were imprisoned for many months to years without even having a trial or charges publicly declaredagainst them.

Unconstitutional and unconscionable, and I have talked about it since the day it happened. However, there were many people in the crowd, I won’t say many, I should back that up, there were a lot of people, maybe up to 50 people in that crowd that were either plants from our own CIA and FBI, and I do believe that was the case, and they have escaped without ever going to jail. And there were some rubble-rousers, people who were troublemakers, who wanted to do an insurrection, though it really was not an insurrection, not enough people there to do so.

It was a demonstration that got out of hand because, in my opinion, again, of government plantsthat was put in there by the Biden administration to cause trouble, so they could change the whole narrative of what was going on on January 6th, number one, and number two, there were real bad actors involved that deserved to be arrested and deserved to have a fair trial, which they did not get, and go to prison. And Donald Trump, when he took office his second time, just gave a blanket pardon to many people that probably should have never been pardoned, and even people in his own administrations, and I was been reading about in many sources over the last nine months, that J.D. Vance was against many of the people that were pardoned. Well, a new report came out on lawfare, we try to read everything for this program, at least 97 of more than 1,500 of individuals granted clemency by President Trump for their roles in the January 6th Capitol attack have been re-arrested for convicted of crimes that were, since they were pardoned by Trump.

A lawfare study reveals that almost 16 insurrectionists, and I don’t like that term, but they were rioters, in my opinion, not insurrectioners, they were rioters, subject to President’s clemency order, has been re-arrested and charged with, in a vast majority of cases, convicted of other crimes, at least which were actively enabled by the clemency action. The alleged crimes by January 6th defendants since January 6th, 2021, run the gamut from relatively low-grade offenses like property damage, possession of drug paraphernalia, trespassing to serious felonies like grand larceny, stalking, planning to assassinate law enforcement officials and prominent politicians, and defrauding government agencies. One January 6th pardonee was convicted in February 2026 of child molestation and sentenced to life in prison.

Another was convicted in 2025 of reckless homicide. At least 14, meanwhile, have been charged with sex crimes relating from child sex abuse material, and at least six have faced domestic violence charges. Others have faced charges for physical assaults, illegal possession of firearms, and other violent crimes.

At least 20 have been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or public intoxication. Perhaps most strikingly, five recipients of the presidential clemency were arrested in connection with conduct that occurred at least in part after Trump’s freeing them from prison, meaning that Trump’s clemency order on the first day of his second term may have actually facilitated criminal conduct, including this Andrew Paul Johnson, who was freed from prison as a result of the pardon in 2025, was convicted of five charges including child molestation in February of 2026 and sentenced to life in prison. Another person, Zachary Allam, was convicted of felony charges of grand larceny and burglary, and then Ryan Nichols, who was charged with deadly contact of harassment on May 10, 2026, after threatening a person with a gun in a parking lot.

Another defendant’s charges are still pending, and on and on and on. This country has gone lawless. This is one of the major themes of theplaintruth.com, is the lawlessness of our religion, the lawlessness of the so-called Christian people, and pastors, and ministers, and the lawlessness of our government.

Well, that’s the Friday wrap-up for today. I want to thank everyone who’s listening. Tomorrow is the Sabbath day, and God, that’s number four on the Ten Commandments, is honor the Sabbath and keep it holy.

Remember the Sabbath, actually it says, remember it, and that’s something Americans do not do today, do they? They don’t remember the Sabbath day. They are remembering the first day of the week, Sunday, which is a pagan, non-Christian worship day. We are to follow the Sabbath day, and tomorrow morning, we always have on Saturday mornings, a Sabbath show in the morning at 7 11 a.m., but you can watch it forever after it’s put up there, and then at 7 11 p.m., we do not have a noon show on the Sabbath.

At 7 11 p.m., we will have a movie, a full movie. It’s a black and white one, but it’s a very good film noir movie with Frank Sinatra called Suddenly. It’s a very, very good movie.

You got to watch it. I think you’ll be, you can cast it to your TV if you know how to do that. You can look it up on AI Google or whatever you want to use and cast it on TV, and it comes across very high quality, but it’s a great suspense movie.

Frank Sinatra really was a great actor. I think he was a better actor than a singer, personally. He made his fame singing, but he was a great actor.

Now, tomorrow morning at 7 11 a.m., we’re going to have Garnett Armstrong again from a 1976, I believe, TV show, Who Was Jesus?, and then you’re going to learn a lot. Those people who think Jesus Christ was born in a manger about 2,000 years ago to figure out that he was really the God of the Old Testament who was in the burning bush, talked to Moses, wrote the Ten Commandments with his own finger, and created Adam and Eve himself, by himself. That’s tomorrow morning at 7 11 a.m., and until Monday, this is Bob Barney for The Plain Truth today saying thank you for listening.

We do appreciate you. Bye-bye.
