Friday wrap up November 13, Friday the 13th 2026

(0:00 – 0:35)

Hi, Bob Barney with the Friday wrap-up for The Plain Truth today, brought to you by

theplaintruth.com, and a lot of stories to cover this week. Won’t get to them all, but the ones we’re

going to cover first is going to be about the SS United States, because The Plain Truth covered

that better than anybody, I think, over the last few weeks or a few months even. If you go back on

the message board, you can go back and find all the stories we did about it.

We’re going to cover that. We’ve got to talk about NVIDIA, of course, and my take on that,

because I don’t think my take is going to be the take that most people are. If you’re watching the

news, you’ve been deceived already.

(0:35 – 0:59)

But we’re going to start out with a report from CBS Morning News about the- The fastest ocean

liner ever to cross the Atlantic is now underwater off Florida on purpose. The once celebrated SS

United States was deliberately sunk to become a massive artificial reef. Businesses along the

panhandle had hoped it brings a wave of new visitors to the area.

(0:59 – 1:14)

Scholar Henry watched this ship go down, down, down. After multiple delays and several hours,

an American icon slipped beneath the ocean’s surface. The SS United States made its final

voyage to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico to become the world’s largest artificial reef.

(1:15 – 3:11)

Wednesday, onlookers on shore and boaters came out to watch. The ship that spans nearly five

city blocks and 12 stories high was scuttled yesterday about 20 nautical miles off the coast

between Pensacola and Destin, Florida. So this is the line handling room.

Sunday mornings, Lee Cowan went aboard the ship in Mobile, Alabama, while it was undergoing

an extensive remediation process. Crews removed environmentally hazardous materials and cut

openings throughout the vessel to allow water to enter. Speedy and graceful, she proudly slices

through the Atlantic.

First setting sail in 1952, the maritime icon still holds the world record for the fastest ocean liner to

cross the Atlantic. It carried thousands of passengers, including presidents, royals, and

celebrities. After being in service for 17 years, it retired and ended up docked in Philadelphia for

decades, where plans to give it a second life never took off.

Jennifer Adams is the director of tourism for Ocaloosa County. Yes, it’ll be a great impact to our

economy. Well, it’s not going to be a great impact to any economy.

There’s only a few people are going to go out there and scuba dive on it. And there are reports. I

haven’t verified them, but I believe what I’ve been told.

There are reports that because the ship is mainly aluminum, that’s why it was so fast. It was built

by Newport News Shipbuilding. That’s right around the corner from where we are.

And it was built really by the people who build the battleships and really the aircraft carriers of

today. They all come from Newport News Shipbuilding. And this built, this cruise ship was really

built like a military ship for speed.

It was designed that it could carry soldiers. It never did in wartime, but it was designed for that.

And the lightweight aluminum, there are theories out there and things that I’ve heard that it could

end up being an ecological disaster and maybe even a death trap for those people that dive on

that.

(3:11 – 6:31)

So we’ll have to see if those reports come out true. But there were delays in doing this. We had

our reporter, Jennifer, there.

She’s also our editor. And she was covering it. And all day long, she was waiting for something to

happen.

And it was delayed and delayed and delayed. She kind of thought it was going to be because

they wanted to get a sunset, but they ended up doing this in the middle of the night. It’s so fitting,

it’s so fitting, the middle of the night darkness to do the unthinkable to the only ship named after

the United States of America, a ship that should have been turned into a museum, not

necessarily had to be float worthy.

You could have easily turned it into a museum. It’s ironic that the only museum of a cruise ship

that we have in the United States of America in Long Beach is the Queen Mary, an English

flagged ship, where the United States, named after the United States of America, which still holds

the speed record of crossing the Atlantic Ocean, has been turned into a fish pond that may be

going to kill the fish when it’s all done. And everything about it, from what I’ve heard and read,

kind of was a disaster, but it’s not being really covered.

So here’s another report that I got on YouTube of a person, I guess, who’s kind of like-minded

with me. His name of his website is Historic Travels. And if you’re a student of history, you hate to

see history get sunk when it doesn’t need to be.

But here’s a quick report about his take about the final plunge of United States and what went

wrong. And it kind of, in my mind, almost like a great novel by Hemingway, symbolizes the United

States today being sunk in the middle of the night by a bunch of evil people, both Republicans

and Democrats, that are just destroying this nation. And you have to ask yourself, was this

sinking and this final moment of the S.S. United States really symbolically mirroring what’s going

to happen to this nation in the next few years? And if you read the Bible, you probably know it’s

going to.

Let’s listen. Well, guys, the day is finally here. The S.S. United States, the vessel that we all know

and love, has officially been sunk.

She went down around 10 p.m. yesterday in the Gulf. And yeah, that marks the end of the legacy

of the S.S. United States. And guys, let me tell you, the journey to get to this point is absolutely

insane.

Like, I did not expect what happened yesterday to happen. So for those of you that are unaware,

they officially announced the time that they were going to start sinking the ship would be roughly

2 or 3 p.m. So I thought very impromptly, you know what? I’m going to live stream this because I

wanted to, you know, have a live stream of the event, you know, have a chat room where we

could all, you know, hang out and pay tribute to the United States together and just watch this

beautiful ocean liner embark on her final voyage. And I did not expect what happened next.

Not at all. Guys, I live streamed for eight hours yesterday. Yeah, eight hours.

(6:31 – 17:22)

I live streamed, I kid you not, for eight hours yesterday. So why did I live stream for eight hours?

Because this ship refused to sink. This ship was built so well that even with everything they did to

intentionally sink it, it refused to go down.

I mean, it was absolutely nuts. Gibbs would be very proud, you know that? Gibbs would be

absolutely super proud of this. So for the first couple of hours, I just hung out.

What he’s talking about is the designer of this boat or this ship, who was a naval designer for the

Navy. And when he made this ship, he made it completely fireproof and almost, oh, I hate to use

titanic words here, but sink proof. He would not allow a stitch of wood, not even a frame around

the photographs or paintings, no wood tables, no wood chairs, nothing wood was on that boat

except a grand piano because he was going to make a boat that would not sink because of fire.

Because most people do not know this, but many cruise ships have sunk because they caught on

fire. And he made this United States fireproof and almost sink proof. And they found that out the

hard way yesterday, trying to sink it for eight hours.

It just shows you the passengers that used to ride this ship were a lot safer than on the English

ship Titanic. I have to just interrupt myself. The Titanic actually was American owned, built over in

England.

You know, we talked about the history and everything, and then I’m starting to get tired. Like, I

don’t know if any of you guys have tried to live stream for eight hours before, but it’s very difficult.

I thought I would shut down after two or three hours, but everybody was like, no, keep the stream

up, go take a break or do things you got to do.

And then just come back later after you’re resting, you’re done doing your errands. So that’s what

I did. We kept the live stream going and guys, it was awesome.

You know, like I had some friends hop in later and we were all just chit chatting. I was talking to

the chat and we were just having a good old time. What happened next? Hmm.

An hour later, less than that, she was at the bottom of the ocean. I kid you not. An hour later, she

was at the bottom.

I was so annoyed when I saw that because just because I started off the stream, I was still

watching. I just, you know, didn’t have a live stream. I’m like, are you kidding me right now? Are

you kidding me? Like, cause I mean, it happens so fast, you know, it’s like for all that time,

nothing happened.

And then it just, everything went nuts. So that was the end of the United States ship named after

this nation. And it probably is a symbol of what’s going to happen to this nation.

We’re sinking now and all everybody’s doing in government is moving around the deck chairs to

get a better view of the sinking, I guess. But I think there’s a symbolism to this. I am a history guy.

I hate to see any piece of history be destroyed. And that’s what we just saw. We saw the ship.

That was a beautiful ship that like I said in the beginning, I said in that first report, millionaires,

billionaires of the day, kings, presidents, all sail on the United States. And it went down yesterday

and it’s a very, it’s a crying shame to me. So we’re going to take our first break and then we’re

going to get back and talk about NVIDIA, which is going to be a different take.

Hi, Bob Barney for theplaintruth.com. It is the place to go to, to find out what’s happening in

today’s news, why it’s happening, does God have anything to do with it? Because most of the

news, God does not have anything to do with it. But there are news stories that obviously God is

behind. And theplaintruth.com tries to give you that perspective that no other website that I’m

aware of that is a news website and not a religious website tries to give you that point of view.

That’s theplaintruth.com where on it you can go to these podcasts. And the ones that I do are

called The Plain Truth Today. And they are my shows and are mainly on noontime, Monday

through Friday.

And, but Friday night we do this wrap up to 7.11 PM time, but The Plain Truth Today, also the

podcast, we do a lot of other points of view, 7.11 AM, 7.11 PM and noon, Monday through Friday,

as well as two times on the Sabbath day, Saturday, 7.11 AM and PM and 7.11 AM Sunday.

That’s The Plain Truth Today, brought to you by theplaintruth.com. Please go there. Well, that

was a little longer than a minute commercial, but I’m going to get on to the NVIDIA story.

Here is the story as it broke this morning. Nelson Huang is officially out of the company, both as

CEO and the board. We now have his replacement, that is Colette Kress.

She is the CFO of the company. And just a real quick note on the market cap of NVIDIA, which

was the second biggest company behind Apple before the second affair dropped. The shares

have shed about 10% in pre-market trading.

To understand that, that means we are talking about $420 billion in market cap gone in premarket

trading. Again, $420 billion gone. This all happening because of two big revelations.

First, Jensen Huang on Sunday admitted to an affair with a woman who U.S. intelligence believes

to be a Chinese spy. That is Alice Huang, who you’re seeing that photo there. And now he has

been caught in a second affair.

The New York Times reported this late yesterday, that he was also unfaithful with Kimberly

Powell, a senior executive at NVIDIA, who reports to him. So that was the story. My wife was kind

of surprised at the quick resignation by him because she was listening to me, unfortunately.

And I said, I don’t think it was going to happen because the plain truth is Jensen Huang, Huang,

however you pronounce it, is NVIDIA. It is the largest chip maker in the world. The idea that he’s

having an affair, if you believe in God in the Ten Commandments, you know affairs are wrong.

But if you think that the majority of the CEOs or the billionaires and now trillionaires do not all

have the same type problems, you are living in fairyland. There is more to this story than meets

the eye. You notice, by the way, there’s nobody talking about the election anymore.

We got that off the news within two days of the Republicans being trounced. Both sides have

their own reason to play up this side. The Republicans want to play it up because they want to

get the media off how bad of a job they did trying to get reelected and how bad of a job Trump did

to destroy the Senate, because the Senate should have never been lost.

So that was the Republican side. The Democrats are hanging a little low right now, of course,

because they’re not in control for another three months. But the Democrats are gleeful because

this is what the Democrats see.

They’re going to have investigate, no matter what they told you before the election, that they’re

going to help you, they’re going to help solve the economy, they’re going to lower gas prices,

they’re going to lower food prices. Well, they did it. Did they lower those under Biden when they

controlled? Did they lower under Obama when he was in control? Did they lower it, really? You

can say they did under Bill Clinton, but that was only after he lost the 96 elections and Newt

Gingrich took control of the House and President Clinton was at least smart enough to realize he

better get along with the new Republican House or his legacy was dead.

He was a smarter politician than we’ve had lately, that’s for sure. But the idea that people believe

that the Democrats are going to bring them lower prices, no. This is what the Democrats want.

They are going to hound all of these companies that aligned with Trump, bribed Trump, because

we have a corrupt administration. I’m sorry, you mega people out there who think that Donald

Trump can do no wrong. It’s a corrupt family.

He learned from the swamp he went in to try to control. The swamp now is partly filled with

Trumps. And that you can see with Donald Trump’s sons, with all of the government contracts

they’re getting.

But the one thing Donald Trump did, he acted like a Democrat. Trump 1.0, he acted like a

populist and he was for the middle class. And it worked.

Everybody was doing better. Every race was doing better. Men and women were doing better.

Every religious type people were doing better. Non-religious type, everybody was doing better.

And Trump 2.0 was not Trump 1.0. He learned from the Democrats.

Let’s be like the Democrats. Let’s triple the debt. Let’s do not just one trillion a year in more debt.

Why don’t we just do three trillion dollars in our first year in debt? And we don’t care about

spending. Donald Trump actually in his first two years, when it’s finally up in another few months,

in his first two years, Donald Trump will probably add more personally to the debt in the second

administration than every president from George Washington through George Bush the first.

Think about that for a moment.

So he learned if he was like a Democrat and he got behind all these billionaires, they would send

him a lot of money and they would send the Republicans a lot of money. Look at all the money

that Elon Musk spent. Well, the Democrats, they’re going to use their power to try to have

investigation after investigation.

And it’s going to be not just NVIDIA. It’s going to be Apple. It’s going to be Meta.

It’s going to be Elon Musk. And what the whole idea of these committee meetings are all about, is

it to expose who they really are to you, the American people, like they’re your defenders? No.

They’re going to make back room deals.

You start giving us back our billions of dollars that you started giving Trump or we’re going to see

you all in jail. We will take control of the White House in 28. We will have the Senate.

We will have the House. And we will put every one of you in jail if you don’t turn coat on the

Republicans and start supporting Democrats again. Because all Democrats want is power and

control.

(17:23 – 18:49)

Never forget that. They want power and control. And they lost it for a little bit under Donald Trump

1.0. They promised it would never happen again.

They did lawfare and everything they could do unconstitutionally to make sure he couldn’t run

again. But he did and he beat him again. And this time around, they’re not going to want to give

up very easily.

But they need that money back. That money has left them. And one thing they understand,

money is power.

Mark my words, you’re going to see the beginning of 2026. I’m sorry, 2027. Excuse me.

You’re going to see the investigations go full bore and then they’re going to go away. And then all

of a sudden, a few months later, you’re going to start seeing the big billionaires and trillionaires

that were cozying up to Trump start cozying back up to Democrats and get behind Democrat

runners for the White House, for the presidency. And the Democrats are going to be happy

because they think they’re going to win in 2028.

But you know what could happen if they go after Donald Trump? And I think they have a lot of

reasons they should. But I also know a lot of reasons why they should not. Because what

happens, the American people will say, this is 2020 all over again.

(18:50 – 21:25)

This is nonsense. And they’re going to throw everybody back out in 2028. That’s what’s going to

happen.

It’s cognitive dissonance, which I keep talking about. These Democrats just can’t change their

spots, and neither can the Republicans. Both parties will not face the truth that no one represents

80% of the American population.

They don’t want to. They only want to represent their special interest group. Sunday, I am

planning on writing a story about, it’s going to be called Trump Didn’t Lose Conservatives in the

Middle Class at the ballot box.

He lost them long before they got there. That’s going to be the article I’m writing. And I’m also

going to do the Sunday show based on that topic.

And I’m going to surprise a lot of people about the plain truth about what really happened in this

election. And it’s not what you were being told. And now they’ve used Nvidia to make sure you’re

not told anything about this election.

That’s all you can see day and night. Nvidia, Nvidia, Nvidia, 24-7. That is the news cycle.

Rush Limbaugh used to call it the drive-by media. Boy, he was right. I’ll be right back.

If you go to the Plain Truth today, we have a couple of different places to go to that’s quite unique

for our website. You have the Plain Truth message board. It’s a completely different site.

You get to it from theplaintruth.com, but it’s on a own platform where everybody is a reporter for

theplaintruth.com. Everybody can write within reason, of course. We do monitor. But you can put

up the stories you think that are important.

And many times you pick stories that people, other people like yourself, find a heck of a lot more

interest than the ones we put up. And then there’s also the Your Health Today. Your Health

Today is a place to go to to find out how to improve your health.

And you know, the Bible can help you with that because God has a diet you’re supposed to be

following, but most of the world does not follow it. Most Americans for sure does not follow that

diet or the plan of healthy life living that God has for you in the pages of the Bible. That’s

theplaintruth.com. Please go there every day.

Thank you. And I’m back and we’re going to get into a couple of last topics before we get into the

weekend programming. And the next topic I wanted to get to is about the stock market in general.

And it’s a paper tiger. It’s ready to collapse, in my opinion, a lot sooner than later. And here’s a

show from seven months ago.

(21:26 – 21:44)

So NVIDIA was doing really, really great when you’re going to hear this. I’m going to play a little

bit about this. But the person’s point of view about the nonsense about the stock market and

valuations is a big problem happening that is going to catch a lot of people off guard.

(21:44 – 22:21)

NVIDIA’s market cap just hit $4 trillion. Investors wiped $100 billion off the Dow today. Headlines

love these massive numbers, but here’s a secret.

They aren’t always what they seem. If you’ve ever looked at your portfolio on a red day and felt a

pit in your stomach, this video is for you. We’re going to challenge the hype using nothing but a

basket of apples and a very expensive car.

Imagine a quiet Saturday morning at a local farmer’s market. Usually prices are predictable. One

farmer sells a basket of apples for $10, another for $11, and a third for $9 because they want to

get home early.

(22:22 – 22:56)

If you track these sales on a chart, you’d see a wavy line. This is exactly how the stock market

works. Prices aren’t set in stone.

They are simply the market price, the most recent price where a buyer and seller agreed to shake

hands. So how do we decide what the entire apple market is worth? We could use a term called

market capitalization. The formula is simple.

You take the most recent price recorded and multiply it by the number of units. In this case, the

last basket sold by the number of baskets in the farmer’s market. In this case, $11 times 1,000

baskets equals $11,000.

(22:56 – 24:47)

This is the same math used for giants like Apple or Microsoft. Price of one share times the total

number of shares equals the market cap. It’s a quick way to measure size, but it isn’t a perfect

reflection of reality.  The farmer’s market is humdrum until a sleek black Mercedes pulls up. Out steps a big town lawyer who doesn’t have time to haggle. He stops at Miss McNelly’s stand and buys a single

basket for $50. Suddenly the latest price isn’t $10 anymore, it’s $50. On paper, every farmer is suddenly rich. Jim Jones, who owns 50 baskets, sees his wealth jump from $550 to $2,500 based on that one single sale.

He starts picking out a new truck and planning to buy more land. The celebration lasts until the

farmers realize the lawyer was a one-off. No one else in town is willing to pay $50 for an apple.

When the next buyer offers $10, the market crashes. In an instant, 80% of that newfound wealth

vanishes. Jim’s dream truck disappears and he’s back to the drudgery of $10 baskets.

Even worse, Lucas, the town’s librarian, was ready to invest in apples. But after seeing the wild

price swings, he decides it’s too risky and puts his money in the bank instead. Just as a single

unusual sale can distort value at the farmer’s market, isolated trades can wildly affect market

capitalization in financial markets.

In this analogy, apple prices represent stock prices, and the lawyer’s purchase represents a

market bubble or an outlier trade that doesn’t reflect the long-term reality. Why does this matter to

you? Don’t mistake price for value. The quality of the apples didn’t change when the lawyer

arrived.

Similarly, a company’s fundamental strength doesn’t usually change just because the stock price

moved 2% today. Beware of paper gains. Until you sell, those gains are just numbers on a

screen.

(24:47 – 25:58)

Like Jim, it’s easy to feel like a genius when the market is up, but those gains aren’t real until they

are realized. Liquidity matters. In thinly traded stocks where few people buy and sell, one big

buyer can cause wild price swings that don’t reflect true worth.

That is like a kindergarten primer about the stock market and the fallacy of the valuations of these

companies. I talked about this a little bit last week. You take a company like Nvidia.

They lost a half a trillion dollars in three days over an affair. Think about that. What it tells me is

you have a company that was way overvalued based on one man, who is Nvidia, by the way.

Nvidia is probably history. This $4 trillion company and possibility in three years won’t exist. Think

about that.

This is what happens when people put their faith in a stock market, which is all based on lies,

damn lies, and statistics. Well, I got about out of time, and I want to go over the weekend shows

that we’re going to have. In the AM, as you know, 7-11 AM, and after it plays, you can watch it for

the rest of the time.

(25:58 – 30:59)

It’s on The Plain Truth. You don’t have to be up at 7-11 AM to watch it. At 7-11 AM tomorrow, we

got a YouTube video called 20 Rare Photos that Prove the Bible is True.

From Noah’s Ark to many other things that you’re going to see in this video. It’s very scientific. It’s

very well documented.

I think a lot of people who think a lot of the stories in the Bible just simply did not happen. They’re

like fairy tales that were talked about over the years, and finally somebody penned the paper, and

they became in the Bible thousands of years after the first fairy tale was told, and that’s what it is.

And I think a lot of people, I think a lot of Christians, actually believe that most of the stories in the

Old Testament are symbolic, and they never happened.

I think I’ve talked to many Christians that don’t believe there was a flood, not a worldwide flood.

I’ve talked to many Christians who don’t even believe that people like Abraham existed. He was a

symbol of what God wanted in us.

That’s the plain truth. And you’re going to watch this show, if you’re smart, I wish you would, and

you’re going to be surprised about just how many people and places of the Bible have been

scientifically proved, and how accurate the Bible has been all these years. And it’s just, like I said,

watch it tomorrow, and I think you will enjoy what you see.

And 7-11 p.m. tomorrow night, we’re going to do The Whistler. That’s that radio mystery show,

suspense show, really, from the 1950s and 40s, 50s, and I believe they brought it back in the 70s

on CBS radio for a little bit. And the show’s title tomorrow night is Evening Stroll, and it is very

well done.

You will be, if you listen to this like you would listen to a radio, you sit on your couch, instead of

watching TV, you know, cast is to TV, but just listen, you know, you can even have the TV

dimmed, and just listen to it like you’re listening to an old-time radio. You will be fascinated. You

will absolutely be fascinated.

Some of these old-time suspense radio shows, I start listening to them in the morning on the way

to work, and I end up pulling over in the parking lot of my paint plant to listen to the end of it.

Sunday, I can tell you this week what Sunday’s going to be about. I’m going to have a story, and

then I’m also going to have a radio show or podcast based on the same thing, and it’s about

Trump won the Republican primaries, but drove too many traditional Republicans away from the

general election, as well as too many people who voted for Trump the last time who just don’t

usually vote because they don’t believe in politics, because they believe that both parties are

equally as corrupt and as evil as the other, and so they basically always stay home, and he got

those people out in 2016.

He got those people out in 2020. That’s another story, we won’t get there now, and he also got

those people out in 2024, but after the last two years of tariffs, of price increases, of a war that we

were promised never to have, a forever war, that’s now six months going on, seven years before

it’s over, what it looks like. We are seeing gas prices, food prices, and these people who never

voted before said, you know what, this is not why I went out to vote.

I’d rather stay home and complain like I have for the last 45 years, and that is what we saw.

There was not big numbers like people want to tell you they were. They were not big numbers at

all.

The Democrat base came out, the anti-Trump people came out, and the people that was pro-

Trump, many of them stayed home because they are disgusted. Bernie Goldberg was right when

he called it Trump fatigue syndrome. People are fatigued.

The man has something to say about everything, he can’t shut his mouth, and every time he

opens his mouth, he drives away more voters at the poll. He personally is the reason that Texas

was lost, South Carolina was lost, and Maine was lost, and probably even Michigan. He can take

full responsibility.

A little over time, but I did want to mention today is Friday the 13th in the secular year, month

anyway, but Friday the 13th, always thought to be unlucky. Well, probably my editor will put up a

story about how Friday the 13th represents America, because the 13 is the number of America,

and it’s also the number of a particular tribe of Israel, which became the United States of

America.

This is Bob Barney for The Plain Truth today.

Have a great weekend. We’ll catch you here Sunday. Bye-bye.
