CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO BOB BARNEY’S 7:11 BROADCAST: Friday Wrap-Up with Bob: October 31, 20255

BOB MENTIONED THIS EXCELLENT VIDEO WITH THE PROOF OF OTHER RELIGIONS COMING TO THE CONCLUSION OF THE REAL SABBATH BEING THE 7TH DAY!

Hi, Bob Barney with another edition of the Friday Wrap-Up. Now it’s 7 11 p.m. instead of noontime, but we can get more information in later breaking Friday news if it happens. Sometimes it doesn’t.

We’ll go over some of the stories of the week and President’s meeting with Xi Jinping in China and the supposed agreement they have, which sounds pretty good, but it’s nothing’s on paper yet and I don’t know how many times in the last six months I’ve heard about some thing happening between Trump and this country or that country and it just doesn’t seem to work out. I also have said before I don’t believe this Hamas deal is going to work out. They’ve already broken the truce.

I don’t know how many times Israel has attacked them and now when you really listen to Donald Trump, he’s just like washing his hands of the whole thing and that says a lot to me and the same thing with Ukraine. He said it would be over within the first David’s administration and Ukraine is dragging on and on and on and honestly Ukraine is doing a lot better under the circumstances than I think most people, including myself probably, even thought they could do and if Europe ever decides to diss the United States and goes alone, which they’re going to be forced to do if you understand biblical prophecy, then I think Europe will come to the aid of Ukraine and the Soviet Union is going to find themselves in even worse trouble. On the Plain Truth main page we had a story yesterday, I believe Thursday, and we try to put all points of view up.

So just because you see an article that isn’t written by me or our staff doesn’t mean we necessarily agree with the articles, but we do try to put up all points of view, unlike a lot of other media, but this one Trump officials revealed devastating impact of shutdown on small businesses and it starts like this and I want to read this to you. It’s from First on the Daily Signal. Hundreds of small businesses are in peril during the federal government shutdown as they are unable to access their federal government loans according to President Donald Trump’s small business administration.

Thanks to the President Trump’s agenda to reduce taxes, which he did not do because it just restated the same tax cut we already had, so it doesn’t help me or any other small business other than if he didn’t resign those taxes, our taxes would have went up, but our taxes are not going down. Regulations, well I hope the regulations are going away, but I know I’m in the paint business and we’re still getting all kinds of emails and nonsense from the EPA, which I thought was going to be wrestled in like it was during his first administration, and unfair trade deals. Well, the tariffs by this president has actually probably put more small businesses out of business than anything this government shutdown is going to do, to be honest, and you know, like I said, we put every sign and point of view up, but what you are listening to in this article right here, and this is a very good thing to see propaganda when you see it, that President Trump has saved America, but the Democrats shut down Congress.

Well, you know what? I don’t know how a minority in the Senate shut down Congress and shut down the government. The Schumer shutdown is actually the Republican shutdown. I hate to say this, and I hate to educate people, but they could easily pass a rule in the Senate, like every Democrat does whenever they needed to get something passed, and Republicans are in the way, and get rid of the 60-vote filibuster on the budget, on the CSA.All they got to do, or CSR, all they got to do is say it’s a 50-50 vote. 51 wins, and they have the votes to do it. They got 53 votes, plus they got two Democrats.

They got 55 votes. They don’t need to shut this government down. They’re both playing politics.The Democrats are playing politics, thinking eventually they will win, and I think with the press, on the most part, unlike this article I’m reading, the press on the most part is very liberal for the Democrats, but the Democrats are playing politics, thinking this is going to help them when the snap cards don’t work anymore, and 46 million people go to their grocery store Saturday, and they try to use their snap card, and it says decline because of lack of funds. Then there’s going to be hell to be paid by somebody. I personally believe it’s going to be the party in charge because somebody is going to cut through the mustard and say, wait a minute, why don’t they just end the filibuster and pass the continuing resolution? Why don’t they just do that? They’ve done it on other things.

Do you remember when the Supreme Court justices couldn’t get approved? What did they do? That needed 60 votes to get them approved, but they couldn’t do so. Politics was put aside because they wanted Supreme Court justices done, and they made the nomination of Supreme Court justices go to what? A simple majority of 51 votes. Check me out.Look it up. It could be over with tomorrow if the Republicans in Congress and Trump weren’t playing games like they are with the tariffs, they are with trade, they are with our allies, they are with these tariffs, and they are with everything else. It’s very easy to blame the Democrats as a propaganda tool, but I think it’s going to backfire because eventually people, when their snap cards don’t work and their health care costs go up by three times, they’re going to eventually say, wait a minute, the Republicans control the House, and the Republicans control the Senate, and the Republicans have the greatest president that ever has sat in the White House, and they can’t keep the government open.

Now, somebody is going to say that just doesn’t make sense, and someday somebody honest in the media is going to point out what I’m talking to you about today. They’re going to point out the fact that all that needed to be done was to get rid of the filibuster vote of 60 votes and make this budget resolution a simple majority vote in the Senate, and it would pass right through. It would be, you could call it bipartisan because you’re going to have two Democrats voting for it, and you get it over with.But no, we have to play politics, and if you don’t think that this Republican administration and the Republicans in Congress and the Republicans in the Senate are not playing games, you got something coming. I’ll give you an example. The Democrat that was elected in the Arizona House to be seated in Washington, D.C., they have not sat this representative now for over a month.

Now, granted, that seat was vacant for two years when the person that was in there was dying of cancer or whatever you had, and they weren’t represented then, and the Democrats didn’t have a problem with it. There’s politics always on both sides. But there’s only one reason that Mike Johnson is not seating that Democrat House member.There’s only one reason. The name of the person is the one reason, Jeffrey Epstein, because Mike Johnson knows that he’s going to follow Donald Trump’s wishes to bury the Epstein scandal. Why? We still have to wonder.We really do have to wonder why, because it was a campaign promise that was broken. And even if you go to DML, which is so mega-oriented, they have polls that are so ridiculous, it’s unbelievable. Do you think that Trump should be king, and 99% say yes and 1% say no, those kind of polls.

But when he put up a poll, is Trump right about the Epstein affair being nothing, 74% or something like that said he was wrong. So he’s losing his base when it comes to Epstein. Well, it seems like the reason Mike Johnson’s not seating this representative is very plain. This representative made it clear he would vote with the Republicans and other Democrats who want the Epstein files revealed, and Mike Johnson does not want that vote to happen. And the moment he recognizes that Arizona Congressman and seats him, that vote is going to happen the second they get back in session. And that is what they’re trying to prevent. And to me, again, it’s another big scandal that depending on what newspaper you’re going to read, plays it either it was the Democrats’ fault or the Republicans’ fault. But you know what? It’s both their faults. Neither party is serving the vast majority of the middle class.

I always go against a lot of the media. I’ve been lately watching News Nation more than CNN or Fox News or Fox Business. I do watch CNBC and I watch Bloomberg. But I’ve even noticed on News Nation, they’re trying to follow the old Fox example by fair and balanced. And this is what they claim is fair and balanced. And I’m going to leave it up to you to decide if I’m right or wrong.They take a mega congressman on the right, and they take a more moderate Democrat on the left. And they say, this is the Republican view, this is the Democrat view, and we’re being like fair and balanced like Fox used to be. And now we got both sides of the issue.

No, you don’t. You got a Democrat side of the issue playing politics, and you have a Republican side of the issue playing politics. And when you look at the statistics, 80% of America doesn’t care what Democrats think or what Republicans think. What they need to do on these new shows, and I’ve said this now for 15 years, what they need to do on these new shows is put a Democrat on and a Republican on, and somebody they picked off the street that they interviewed and find out that they ain’t happy with either party. And put that person on who represents 80, 75 to 80 percent of how Americans really feel about their government. And if they did that, then you would have truly fair and balanced news. Because I got news for you, you’re never going to get the truth from any Democrat for the most part and or any Republican for the most part. They’re going to talk party line with very few exceptions, like Rand Paul for example, he’s an exception. I don’t know of Democrats exception, but maybe this Senator Fetterman from Pennsylvania, he’s kind of shocking me.

But for the most part, you’re not listening to what the average American cares about. It’s like the other morning, I was watching Joe Kernan, I had to think of his last name, Joe Kernan on CNBC, and he was talking to a guest who was trying to convince him that the economy was not in great shape. And Joe Kernan said something like this, how can you say the economy is not in great shape? Wall Street is breaking every record in the world. Wall Street is just absolutely going bonkers. It’s going up 15, 20 percent a year. It’s probably going to double in 10 years. And you’re saying we got a problem with our economy? It doesn’t show up on the news. And the person answering the question said, you know, Joe, there’s a big difference between what’s good for Wall Street, which is basically represents seven companies. You know, 60 percent of every value on Wall Street is seven companies.

When you have Apple and OpenAI and Amazon all in the trillions now, you know, five years ago, they were wondering, was it going to be Apple or was it going to be Amazon to be the first trillion dollar company? Well, they buried that. There’s four trillion for Apple. I think it’s two or three trillion for Amazon. And I think OpenAI is five trillion or something like that. So the value of Wall Street rests on seven companies that honestly are not making money, with the exception of Apple and Amazon. They’re making small amounts of money. And then your big elephant in the room, Nvidia, I believe is gone up. Their stock gone up 1300 percent in five years. And I think their valuation is five or six trillion dollars. These are the companies that if there is a big AI bubble burst, it’s going to take the entire stock market down because the rest of the stocks, you know, 6,000 other stocks are not performing like those big seven that control Wall Street. So as this guest was trying to point out to Joe Kernan, which I think was a good point, there is a big difference between what’s on Main Street and what’s on Wall Street. On Main Street, you have mom and pop stores.

You have small family businesses trying to compete against the Walmarts, the Amazons, the big box stores, the Best Buys. And they are in trouble. And they’re mainly in trouble because almost everything they sell has some part of it coming from China with some 100 percent. Sometimes it was a higher tariff. And they simply can’t compete. And because they can’t give big money to the political parties, they simply are not important to the political parties and to the people who make the deals with Russia and China and Amazon and Nvidia and Apple and Google and Facebook, which are not Main Street. And Main Street is in trouble. Many, many small businesses have gone out of business. And the lower tax rate, the article I just read you is total political propaganda. Like I said, the taxes, it was a good thing that Donald Trump extended the tax breaks. Too bad he didn’t extend maybe the health care reform for a while, at least for a year, until they change rules in Congress or whatever they got to do in order to keep the government shutting down. The idea that, by the way, every senator, every congressman, every member of the White House gets paid.

The only people not getting paid is the military, our air traffic controllers. You’re going to fly this weekend and just hope that the air traffic controller who’s working for free don’t mess up and two planes collide over Washington, D.C., like we saw happen in January, one week after Trump became president. There is no good explanations to what’s going on. Well, I’ll be back for the rest of the Friday wrap-up after this brief word about ThePlainTruth.com. ThePlainTruth.com is the one site to go to to understand today’s news in the light of Bible prophecy and what God has to say about it, if he does. Not all news has God’s imprint on it, but a lot of news does, especially when it concerns Europe and Russia and China and the future of America. You’ll get that information and what you need to know from ThePlainTruth.com, where you can go to the message board and see what’s going on there.

You can go to Your Health Today and see what you can do to improve your health, maybe the way God wants you to, or you can go to the main page of The Plain Truth and read the timely articles we have up for the day, or these podcasts and listen to what I have to say and what other people have to say with different points of view sometimes. That’s ThePlainTruth.com. Please go there every day. Thank you.Well, we’re going to finish the Friday wrap-up here with a few other stories from the main page of The Plain Truth as well as from the message board. One of the stories we had on the message board, by the way, and we don’t really know really the truth, we reported it, one of the only media outlets that I know of, other than maybe the, you know, MSNBC, which is, you know, communist MSNBC, may have, but we reported that Trump had an MRI when he had his third annual checkup, and they tried to call it an annual checkup when he had already gone for his annual checkup in April, but he admitted to reporters he had an MRI when he went to the hospital that day, and when they asked him what it was about, he said, oh, it was clear, Isabel, there’s nothing wrong, new subject, never mentioning why there was an MRI.

I got news for you.

I have to undergo an MRI for something in mid-November. There’s always a good reason why you’re having an MRI, and just to say that and in passing to try to put it to bed and, you know, run off to another subject there, nothing to see here, means there’s probably something to see here. So anyway, I thought I would just mention he did have an MRI.

I do believe there is some problems going on with Donald Trump, and we’re going to find out if I’m right. Also, we want to cover a little bit about what happened in Jamaica with that big Cat 5. It does seem to be a Cat 5 storm that landed in Jamaica. I do believe that they hype a lot of these stories. For example, I do not believe that it was the worst hurricane in recorded history, as they were starting to say, and it was so funny. As you watched certain things, especially on Instagram, you know, people overstate things, and they show a video. This is what 155 mile an hour winds look like, and you go down a little further, and you see the same video.

This is what 185 mile an hour winds look like, and you go a little further down, and you see the same video, and it says this is what 200 mile an hour winds look like, and you get to thinking, you know, I think I’m being had. I don’t think it was 200 mile an hour winds, but it was a disaster for Jamaica, and I have a fondness of Jamaica. I used to have a business in Montego Bay many years ago.It seems like another life ago, and it got decimated, and we’ve got to find out today, maybe later on today, more. I’ve seen a little bit this morning, but later on today to see just exactly how bad Cuba gets it, because Jamaica has high mountains. You know, in the middle of Jamaica, there’s 7,500-foot mountains, and people don’t realize that, and it knocks the heck out of hurricanes, and when it left Jamaica, and was going to Cuba, it had already gone to a low cat 3. Now, did it intensify? I haven’t heard that yet, but if it did, it’s bad news, just to say, just to say, but the other thing I was going to get into, we mentioned it in the first part of this broadcast, but the travel chaos in the busiest airports is halting traffic.

It’s sidelining travelers, and it is an absolute disaster in the make, and nobody, all the politicians want to do is keep blaming the other side. Nobody really cares about fixing it, because they’re making political hay, and I always like to go to the Daily Mail and read the reports, because you usually see on both sides, you see the mega people show up, and you see those ultra leftists show up. Here’s an ultra leftist.It’s Trump’s America. What do you expect? Here’s another one. Well, I can fly my Cessna 182 into an uncontrolled airport without traffic control. Well, yes, you can. There’s a lot of air, most private airports and smaller airports don’t have traffic control. You know, eight, 10 planes a day maybe land there, and they still have more accidents, by the way, than the major airports, just a dumb reply, and then we have another one.

This is normal in Newark, and it may be, because they’re talking about Newark Airport. How is the government shutdown causing short staffing? Unless employees are calling out sick, that is not a shutdown, which is caused by the Democrats, by the way. It was caused by air traffic controllers not wanting to go to work and getting paid at a later date. I think that’s pretty classic to say to people that are living from paycheck to paycheck, well, you should go to work and not get paid. The same person, when he finds out his health insurance is going to triple, he’s going to be all over the place saying, this is the end of the world, and it’s the Democrats’ fault, because they shut down the government. I’m just telling you, this is what’s going to happen.

The problem, and we did a show on this a few weeks ago, and I’m going to take a little bit of time on this Friday wrap-up to mention this one more time. The problem with America, and I think America is in decline, and I think America is about ready to see the reckoning of God Almighty against us. If you listen to this show long enough, you know, ad nauseum, I reveal the biblical fact that the United States of America is the Ephraim of your Bible, and whenever you see a prophecy against Ephraim, or Manasseh, or Israel, it does not mean the modern-day Jews. That’s Judah in your Bible. You can check any Bible commentary, but Ephraim, especially when you read some of the Old Testament prophecies, turned her back on God, and they started worshiping Baal, a false god in the disguise of Christianity, and that’s what most Christian religions are today, false. You go to church on a Sunday, you’re following a false church, because God’s holy day is the Sabbath day, which is Saturday, and we have an article a long time ago, I don’t know where it is right now, it just came to my head when I was talking, that it gives all the quotes over the years of Catholics, of Protestants, of Baptists, of Presbyterians about the Sabbath day, and every single one of them came to the same conclusion.

Over 400 years worth of research was done here of quotes from the biblical scholars and experts of the day, all saying that the Sabbath day is Saturday, always has been Saturday, always will be Saturday, and it is the fulfillment of the fourth commandment, except that they all say the Roman Catholic Church changed it because they had the authority, because the Pope is Christ on earth, that’s what they believe, Jesus Christ is sitting in the papal doctrine, you may be a Catholic and not even know that, but that’s the truth, and because a Pope declared Sunday to be the new day of worship, then that became the new day of worship, and even Baptists admit it, even Presbyterians and other Protestant scholars admit, they get their idea of Sunday worship from the Catholic Church, which they still show as the real church of God, believe it or not, but you’re not told that, are you, when you’re going there on a Sunday in a Baptist church, and you’re being told that you’re following every word of the Bible, except when it comes to the Sabbath, of course. Well, what I was really talking about is the selfishness that this country has found itself in. There was a time when neighbors truly cared about their neighbors.

Now, I’m not saying that there’s a lot of small communities in this country, and there’s a lot of good folks left in this country that run to the help of people in trouble. It happens all the time, you see it disaster after disaster after disaster, and maybe it’s over 50% of the population, and maybe that’s why God still has patience with us, but I’m telling you right now, you just read the papers, you just look at the situation around you, you look at your co-workers at work, or your neighbors, or your friends, and America has become very selfish. What’s good for me is all I care about. So, then you read these comments in the daily mail about, oh, these people should work for free. Really? They should work for free? Are you willing to work for free with a promise to be paid later? And maybe you will find out you’re not going to be paid later when you’re living from paycheck to paycheck. This is the type of selfishness that has taken over this country, and we’re not feeling sorry for what happens to our next door neighbor, and to our fellow man working in this country, and we are falling apart because of it.

I want to end with this, and maybe if I have time, I’ll get into the Sabbath day and the weekend programming, but I might not because I’m looking down at the clock here, and I got three minutes, but there is one last story I really wanted to put in the front of this, and I held it just in case, but we have, and the headline here is UFC fighter who said he’d take a bullet for Donald Trump now calls him the Antichrist, and this is going to happen more and more, and I’m warning the mega people out there, the pro-Trump people, start smelling the roses and see what’s going on. He goes, he writes this in his Facebook, I do not like the guy at all. The first thing for me was he didn’t release the Epstein files. Remember what I said about his base following, making that important? They even acting like they didn’t exist now, and of course, they’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb nuts did before him, putting America last, and now he’s blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef. Hey, I’m not biased, man. He talked a good game, and he tricked me, and I was fooled.

I’ll admit it. He goes on to say, now let me tell you how bad I think this is. This is really this bad, guys. I want y’all, if you are Christian, I want y’all to get into Revelation 13.3, and I want you to read the verses for yourself. Yeah, about the Antichrist, about the one who was fatally wounded in the head, then he was miraculously healed, and the whole world marveled at him and said no man can make war with him. Yeah, I do think that Donald Trump now is the Antichrist and the beast of Revelation 13.3. Well, the man’s wrong. Donald Trump is not the Antichrist that’s going to come out of Europe. He might want to be, but he ain’t going to be. I don’t even know if he’s going to finish out his term, to be honest. I don’t think he’s got God very happy with him as well, but I just wanted to show you, here’s a guy who just six months ago said he would take a bullet for the guy, but somebody, and I would have said the same thing about myself, we sent money to his campaign, my wife and I, but when you see how the middle class of this country is being torn apart by both the Democrats and the Trump Republicans, no one is standing up for you and I, and I think if you’re listening to me, I doubt if you’re Elon Musk, and I probably also doubt if you’re really, really poor. If you are, welcome aboard because we’re all going to be where you are right now if things do not change. This country is heading for a humongous crash, a crash like we have never seen that’s going to make 1929 look like good times again.

I mean that. I think that’s what’s coming. That’s why I’ve been telling people, get your hands on gold if you can afford it and on silver if you can’t afford gold.

They are God’s currencies, and man’s currency, which is the bitcoin and the dollar bill that’s worth a penny that it’s printed on, that’s man’s money, and man’s money is going to fail you when the bad times come, and bad times are coming, and that’s what helps bring the Antichrist, the real Antichrist to power in Europe when the whole world’s economy collapses because of these buffoons that are in charge of this economy who don’t have a clue, including our president and our congress don’t have a clue what’s really going on with mainstream world people, with the people of the world who are all hurting, and no one really cares, and that’s what I see. That’s my perspective. That’s the plain truth. Today, wrap up for Friday, October 30th, and I want to thank everybody who does listen. I don’t have time to get into the weekend’s program, but tomorrow’s the Sabbath day. You’re supposed to follow it.

7-11 in the morning, we will have a Sabbath show. We’re going to have a entertainment show, usually a short story, an old TV show at 7-11 p.m., and then Sunday we will have a usually an hour or two show that wraps up the week. We get off a YouTube video or something like that. It’s theplaintruthtoday.com. You find it going to theplaintruth.com. This is Bob Barney wishing everyone a happy weekend, a safe weekend, and hopefully a happy Sabbath day that you will discover if you haven’t already and start following it. We’ll see you back here with more live broadcasts from me and others on Monday. Until then, Bob Barney saying bye-bye.
