Friday’s Wrap-Up with Bob: August 8, 2025 (Transcript)

The Plain Truth is so Happy That You Have Been Enjoying Bob’s Broadcasts.

2000 years ago, a newscaster that we know of as Jesus Christ warned us about false Christianity. The warning was not against the devil but against false Christianity…about people who come in His name and deceive many.

• 
  Hello, Bob Barney again for The Plain Truth today, brought to you by theplaintruth.com. It’s Friday wrap-up, and we’re going to get going over whether this is the news of the last week and what it could mean for us, what it means for you personally or for your family and for your future, and we’ll go over what I think is the top stories that mean something. One of the stories we had on The Plain Truth Methodist Board this week, and it’s a very important subject to me because I think I’ve been looking for this for a long time, but that is organ donations. And I’ve always said that when you put on your license that you’re going to be an organ
• 0:38donor, you are almost putting a death wish upon yourself if you are in a tragic accident or you have some kind of a disease or something like that, and you go to the hospital and the doctor sees that you have organ donation on your card, you’re worth a million dollars or more to that hospital and to that doctor to be dead and to harvest your organs. People don’t realize the big business of harvesting organs and the corruption.
• 1:08Here’s a story we had on the plain truth, and I’ll get into it a little bit more. An organ harvesting organization has faced allegations that it urged doctors to remove body parts from a comatose woman who went to make a full recovery after medics insisted she showed signs of life. Danella Gallegos said that she felt lucky to be alive after her organs were almost taken by a pushy donor bosses when she fell into a coma in 2022. She was 38 years old at the time and homeless when she
• 1:41suffered an unspecified medical emergency. And doctors at the Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico, told her family she would not recover. Without any hope, her family agreed to donate her organs and preparations were made to do so.
• 1:59In her final days, Gallego’s family said they saw tears in her eyes, a sign that they they say, donation coordinators quickly brushed off, claiming watery eyes were just a reflex. On the day her organs were set to be taken, one of Gallagos’ sisters said she was adamant that Danella was still alive because she saw her move while holding her hand. Doctors in pre-surgery room were left stunned when
• 2:28Gallagos, in a deep coma, but still medically alive, was able to blink her eyes at the medic’s command. But the organ coordinator in the room told the doctors they should apply the patient with morphine and move ahead with the transplant anyway. This is something I did a show, I don’t think I did a show, I think I wrote an article about maybe 10 years ago or more, where I was telling people that we are in this country no different than China when it comes to
• 2:58making money off of people’s bodies. And we saw this during COVID. I told a story about my mother dying last month, five years ago last month, and how she really died of stomach cancer. However, the authorities, both the funeral home and the hospital and the doctors in charge and the state, did everything they could do to try to convince the home care nurse to declare on her death certificate that she died of COVID instead of cancer, which was absolutely insane. But there was a reason for that, because hospitals made about $30,000, $32,000 for every death
• 3:36that they could claim was COVID-related. That’s why we had reports that people died in motorcycle crashes, that the official death report said they died of COVID-19. This is the corruption in our medical community that just rages. Like I said, if your body is worth upwards to a million dollars, they get, I don’t know, $200,000, $300,000 for a liver or a kidney,
• 4:09hearts are even worth more and lungs, eyes, you name it. And then what’s left of your body, they wanna donate to medical research, they say, and they sell your skeleton to universities. It’s absolutely, I’m gonna say something that’s probably gonna really turn people off here. Do you ever see or hear anybody who has worked in either a beef processing plant or
• 4:34especially in our area, we work very close to Smithfield and Smithfield Foods were one of the largest pork producing companies in the world now owned by the Chinese. But you ever listen to a person, what they do with a pig? When they butcher a pig, they use every single part of that pig you can imagine. They use the hair, they use the bones, they use the guts, they use you name it, they use it. There is not any waste coming out of that pig. And what they can’t use as human food, all that gook, they put into dog food. That is the truth. And this is what I’m afraid,
• 5:17and I said this many years ago, this is what they’re doing with people who are donating their organs, thinking they’re doing science and people good, when all they’re doing is making a bunch of people rich off of their body that their family don’t get any of it. And people think they’re doing well, and really what they’re doing, I think, I don’t think this is a case that’s unique. I think this happens across the country in America all day long, all night long, in this country 24-7, 365 days a year. Now we hear these stories about this going on
• 5:50in China, and we sit there and we want to always demonize the Chinese. China is right now the enemy. They really are not, but they were trying to make China the enemy. And we keep hearing about how they’re forcing their prisoners and the Uyghurs and other people, dissidents, to have their organs harvested. Like, we’re not doing the same thing. Here is a story in New Mexico in the 21st century of a woman who was going to have,
• 6:2138-year-old woman, who was going to have her organs taken away from her while she was crying, while there was movement in her fingers, and everyone knew she was alive, including the doctors willing to do it for their share of that million or more dollars that her body was worth. When you put these decisions in the hands of people who, number
• 6:46one, do not believe in God, when you don’t believe in God, you don’t really care about human life. That’s the problem with dictators. That’s the problem with communism. That’s the problem with all these people who killed six million Jews in World War II during the Holocaust. They didn’t believe in God. They didn’t believe in anything but themselves. And corruption, when you don’t have God in your life, corruption rules your life and that is what’s going on here with this organ harvesting. And I really believe that Congress and other people should look into this business of organ harvesting in
• 7:23America and maybe put a stop to it. I know there are many people alive today because they have received transplants that they would not be alive if they did not get a transplant. I have a business partner that’s alive because the kidney he needed came from his wife. You know, there is a difference for people who want to donate organs for good causes and people who are staying alive because of it. But we cannot allow a system where there is too much profit involved in these organ harvesting,
• 7:52because this is going to lead to mass murder of innocent people just for their organs. This is like something you read out of George Orwell’s 1984, or even worse, like a Twilight Zone, where you become just a body part in the eyes of the medical community. I do not like what’s going on in our medical community. We have a section on The Plain Truth called Your Health Today, where we try to keep everybody informed what’s going on, what’s best for their health, what you should do, what you should eat, what you should not eat. You know, God in the Bible has a whole lot of things to say about what foods are not clean for you to eat. And by the way, pork is one of them. Shellfish is another one. So is catfish or any
• 8:39skinned fish. People don’t know this, but God says they’re forbidden to eat because they’re no good for you, and we’re not to eat those. We’re supposed to only eat animals such as goats, sheep, cows, deer that chew their cud and have hoofs, and the fish have to have fins and scales. We’re not supposed to eat snakes. We’re not supposed to eat insects other than crickets and grasshoppers, but there are things that you’re supposed to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle. That’s what your health today is about, but I’m just saying this story here is a real eye-opener of what’s going on in this world today in America where we make
• 9:19money off of people for everything you can think of under the sun. Another story we had on The Plain Truth this week that was worth mentioning because I really do believe under this Trump administration that the people on the left, the people who want to get rid of Donald Trump, and not for good reasons, by the way. I mean, I have a problem with Donald Trump, but I had a hell of a lot more problems with Joe Biden, with Kamala Harris, with Barack Obama, with Bill Clinton even, than I do with Donald Trump.
• 9:47But all of a sudden now we’re hearing in the headline is, pandemic fears explode as virus rips through China, COVID era rules and Trump’s CDC issues a warning. Well, I think Trump wasn’t served well with his last CDC and with Fossey as the head of the disease part of it, and I don’t think he’s being served well here because what we’re doing here is rising up another panic, another COVID-type thing for the government can take more control of your rights and maybe get to harvest more of your organs like we covered in the last
• 10:23subject that we just talked about. It’s just terrible and we got to do something about it. And it’s something I think it’s on the radar screen and we better remember what is going on with these so-called epidemics that never really were epidemics. COVID-19 was a farce. It was a farce to get Donald Trump out of office and to gain control over your life, over your freedoms, and over your privacy. That’s all it was. And I’m sorry, I know a lot of people disagree with me, but it’s the plain truth. Another thing that happened during this last week on August 6th was the
• 11:07anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima by a B-29 in 1945 when we dropped the first atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima, destroying that city in a moment of, or I should say in a blink of an eye, because it happened within seconds that people were just vaporized and their shadows you could see, I think to this day, in the concrete walls of the city that survived. People were absolutely vaporized. We’re getting close to nuclear
• 11:40war again and we should really, so many people today alive, especially in America, but throughout the whole world, have no clue of what nuclear war really means. There are idiots out there who actually think they’re going to survive nuclear war and they’re going to build shelters, bomb shelters, and they’re going to put away food for 25…that can last for 25 years. They don’t even understand what the whole deal is about. But again, it was a very somber time in Japan for this celebration. It ain’t really a celebration,
• 12:13but it is something we should remember, especially what we’re going through right now. Another topic I wanted to get into was this thing going on in Texas where they want to re-partition, and you know it’s called gerrymandering, where you reset districts for congressional elections. And in the state, according to the Constitution, the state has the right to do this. Their legislative body can redistrict within reason, as courts have said. but this one is a little different because see, the census was 2020 and most of the redistricting every 10 years that can be
• 12:51done is done within a year or so of the census. This is halfway through the census and it is a clear case where the Republicans in control of the Texas legislative and governorship want to skew the 2026 elections because they know the plain truth that Donald Trump is not popular and as Donald Trump says I’m the most popular president of all times and everybody loves the terrorists and everybody loves me Well, you wouldn’t be messing with your electoral college, well, I shouldn’t say electoral college,
• 13:25your congressional election districting, if you thought you’re gonna run away with Congress because everybody loves you. You would already know that you’re in trouble in Texas as it is. Texas is becoming a blue state,
• 13:38and it’s gonna become more of a blue state with many of the policies that Donald Trump is doing right now, that is actually turning the middle class and lower white people, black people, Hispanic people, and people around the world off about some of the stupid things we’re doing economically in this country that is putting
• 13:59us way behind our competition, like China, like the rest of the world. And these tariffs are a disaster and they’re going to be a bigger disaster. There are crops, and we reported this on The Plain Truth, there are crops that are rotting in California right now because people just do not have the labor force to have the crops picked by the migrants because they’re afraid they’re going to be raided and deported. This is something that is going to continue to magnify unless we change something real soon here. And what the food on your dinner plate is at
• 14:38stake here. I’ll be right back after this brief moment about the plain truth. Bob Barney for the Plain Truth Today and theplaintruth.com, the one site that I believe if everyone would go to and read you would understand what’s going on in today’s world and understand just what God has to say about it by the pages of the Bible. There are many scriptures in the Bible that explains what’s going on in today’s news and you
• 15:03can understand more when you understand the Bible. Too many people just simply do not read enough of the Old Testament laws and the New Testament as well and understand just exactly what God predicts our future is going to be. And the long run it’s going to be good, the short run it’s going to be bad. That’s theplaintruth.com Please go there every day. Thank you very much. And now we’re back to the last 15 minutes or so of the Friday wrap-up and I wanted to get over two more stories that I think are critical. The first one is if I know many people are not aware of it,
• 15:39maybe just what they’ve seen on TV or read on the web. But this beating up in Cincinnati of quite a few white people by black people, and that’s just not being reported. And the other day I just saw the woman who was beat beyond recognition, and she’s suffering horrendously from the beat up that she had. And her testimony of how this went on and on and on and no one in a crowd of over a hundred reported it to the police. And the only one that did was one that was beat up, who escaped, crawled away to safety, and then
• 16:20called 911. And Cincinnati only sent one police car with two police officers who did nothing. In fact, this woman claimed that they were almost treated like the people causing the whole thing and they’re the ones being beat up. And it is a race matter and no one wants to admit it. And the Cincinnati government itself is completely complicit. Remember, we had a black councilwoman in Cincinnati who said the white people deserve the beating they got, and she has been called to resign by people around the country.
• 16:56But I haven’t heard anybody within Cincinnati say anything about her. And this is the stuff that just is going keep Democrats out of office because Cincinnati is a Democrat run town and they absolutely do not protect its citizens. They only protect the minorities that they themselves are running the town. I think that this story is going to continue, hopefully, and wake people up. It’s gonna help Donald Trump. I foresee Donald Trump’s gonna get involved here.
• 17:29You remember Vice President Vance is from that area and his brother is running for governor of Ohio. And there is just lawlessness around this country. There’s lawlessness, and mainly in the big cities, that are run by Democrats, that absolutely put criminals back on the street the man who
• 17:49Hit this woman from the side. She didn’t even see it coming has a rap sheet That’s a mile long and should have been in jail for life for some of the crimes He did that judges liberal judges let him out of jail for we have a crime problem in this country because we have a lawlessness problem in this country. And the one party, I will say, who represents lawlessness in America is the Democratic Party. And if they ever plan to win elections again, they’re going to have to find the old Democrat Party that used to stand for law and order.
• 18:23You know, many of these big police cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, they at one time had policemen who was allowed to mete out justice and stop riots and to stop crime, and they’re being in trouble when they try to do it today. We have a mayoral candidate in New York City who absolutely wanted to defund the police and I guarantee you if he’s elected and I think there’s a very good chance he’s going to be elected in New York City you’re gonna see the flight out of New York City of police officers and of
• 18:56richer people and of a lot of white people flee that city and leave that city into a fourth world not even a third world. It’s going to be about as safe to be in New York City as it is to be in Ukraine. And that is what the Democrat Party is bringing us, and that’s all they want to talk about. They don’t want to talk about the issues that could get them elected. No, they want to talk about the issues that supports reverse racism and that’s
• 19:26what that is. And that’s the story there and I’ll just leave it there. I probably will have more to say about it in future shows when we get back to the theme of lawlessness because that’s what we got going here. The very last thing I want to talk about is the Russian-Ukraine-Trump angle, where Trump today, and I don’t know what’s going to happen today, this is early morning, but Trump is claiming he’s going to put sanctions against Russia and against any country that buys their
• 19:58oil. Now, he’s already done a 50 percent tariff on India, and I am for that. I’m not for tariffs, but I am for tariffs when there is a purpose for the tariff on India and I am for that. I’m not for tariffs but I am for tariffs when there is a purpose for the tariff and not for an excuse just to raise taxes on the Americans by calling it tariffs because that’s who’s paying for these tariffs. But when you have countries that are supporting Russia
• 20:19they deserve to have the tariffs. Now the problem that Trump’s going to have there is who buys the most oil from Russia is not India, it’s China, and what is he gonna do when it comes to China? Is he gonna do the same thing with sanctions and that’s gonna hurt our economy because China is so important to our economy.
• 20:37So Trump’s got himself a problem here and we’re gonna see how he solves it. Now, the good thing here about Donald Trump’s turning on Vladimir Putin and Russia, it’s good here, but the only reason it’s really going on is because his manhood is being challenged by Putin. He’s been taken for a ride by Putin and he realizes it now
• 21:02and he does have a big ego and that ego sometimes works against him but in this case I think that ego could work against Russia. If Russia could not sell their oil or if oil was to plummet to $25 a barrel where it should be, you would see the Soviet Union collapse or the Russia it’s called today, I’m sorry not the Soviet Union, it would collapse. It would collapse on itself. Putin would be assassinated by his own
• 21:27people and Russia may be back in the world order again back with the nations of the rest of the world and not attacking all their neighbors Russia is gonna be a loser so is China by the way with their their belligerent attitude in the Pacific when China finds their real enemy is not going to be America it’s so is china by the way with their their belligerent attitude in the pacific when china finds their real enemy is not gonna be america it’s gonna be japan we talked about that this week in another show
• 21:51and uh… this is what’s gonna happen and unless uh… putin and china are are forced to change direction in certain things i am not before uh… of hitting China for tariffs
• 22:06because of fentanyl. I mean, the fentanyl problem is an American problem. It’s a lawlessness problem in America. It doesn’t have to do with Mexico. It doesn’t have to do with China, who makes it. It has to do with the American loss of morality, loss of legalism, law, and order, and it’s a problem that’s got to be faced and handled inside America. It is not our neighbors fault, it’s not Canada’s fault, it’s not Mexico’s fault, it’s Americans fault and American
• 22:40politicians who simply do not want to get tough on crime, violent crime, and drug addiction. That’s the problem. And the Bible tells you what happens when you practice lawlessness. You get Cincinnati and you get drug problems, you get inner cities that are full of violence, and you get police that are afraid to do their job because of the court system will actually imprison a cop trying to do his job quicker than he will a common criminal who has a rap sheet that’s ten miles long and gets released by a judge
• 23:17time after time after time. I think Americans are going to get sick of it and I think their reaction may not be good in the long run because we don’t want to see vigilanteism, but it’s coming. It’s coming in this country before anybody can realize that it’s coming because there’s only so much people are going to take before they strike back. I always give the example is you can kick a dog and make a dog cower
• 23:41and make a dog run for shelter, run away from you. But if you corner that dog and start beating that dog and it has no way to escape, that dog is gonna turn vicious and tear your throat out. And that’s what’s gonna happen with vigilantism in America if we don’t get a handle on law and order.
• 24:02And you find that, again, in the Bible. What you got to do, you got to follow Bible principles. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Jesus did not do away with the law. Jesus did away with the law only for people that are Christians who follow the law naturally. But the rest of the world is still under that law, and if we don’t practice it, we have a problem. Well, that’s the Friday wrap-up for today. I want to get into the weekend programs, what we’re going to have. And tonight we’re going to actually have a Fox News special, Trump versus Putin,
• 24:37because of the upcoming meeting between the two. Who holds the higher cards? Who does not have the high cards. In my opinion, Trump does have the high cards here with his sanctions, although Putin is a mobster and he’s used to dealing with tough people and tough situations. But he does have a problem if his oil is not sold. So that’s tonight’s program. Now tomorrow’s Sabbath program is a program
• 25:05by me, it’s a best of me that I put up, but I think I always find it interesting because I try to make the Bible interesting for people who want to read it. And the show that I’m doing is called Hemorrhoids in the Bible because even if you read the King James Version of the Bible, you don’t understand the words they use for the itch means hemorrhoids, and it was actually a curse that God put on the people
• 25:30who stole the Ark of the Covenant away from ancient Israel when they were first in Palestine. And it’s a kind of a humorous story because the people who were inflicted with these hemorrhoids, which were actually killing them, actually made a golden hemorrhoid as a tribute to the Lord God so he would
• 25:50stop the plague. It’s kind of an interesting program and it shows you that the Bible is no prude. It talks about many, many issues and we like to get into that as well and that sometimes peaks people’s interest on what is actually in the Bible. As I said, the Bible is not written for people who are prudes, because the Bible talks about many issues.
• 26:15It talks about sex, it talks about good sex, bad sex, when you shouldn’t have sex, and who you should have sex with. And I got news for you, it’s called your spouse. But anyway, and then the evening show, have sex with and I got news for you it’s called your spouse but anyway and then the evening show we always show a a video or a short story or something like
• 26:32that for the Sabbath evening the Saturday evening movie of the week or you should say the show of the week and this week we’re going back to another Sherlock Holmes TV show from the 1950s. It’s black and white, but it’s very good. And the title of that show is called The Case of the Perfect Husband. And I don’t think it’s about me,
• 26:53but I know I’m the perfect husband. Ask my wife. That’s a joke. Anyway, I try to be anyway. And so that will be the 7-11 p.m. show, The Case of the Perfect Husband,
• 27:04a Sherlock Holmes mystery. And I just love those Sherlock Holmes stories, either if it’s, you know, you just listen to the audio or from a book or from a short story, or if you watch a TV show or something like that. And we’ve had other Sherlock Holmes stories in the past.
• 27:21And I just think many people who are not familiar with the Sherlock Holmes story in the past, and I just think many people who are not familiar with the Sherlock Holmes story will get hooked, to say the least, on Sherlock Holmes. Great stories. And we do not yet have a Sunday show planned. I like to try to make Sunday show very relevant
• 27:40for the next week coming, because Sunday is the first day of the week. And so we try to find something like last-minute that I think is going to be an interesting political type show on Sunday morning at 711 a.m. Remember on Sundays we only have one show for the whole Sunday and that’s the 711 a.m. show. There’s nothing noontime, there’s nothing evening. Saturday, the Sabbath day,
• 28:04we have a morning Sabbath-type show, which is, like I said, the case of hemorrhoids, and we have the short story or the short video or the short TV show on Sabbath night, Saturday night at 7-11 p.m. Monday through Friday, just to remind you,
• 28:21we have a 7-11 a.m., a noontime, most of the time the noontime is me, and a 7-11 p.m., and that’s Monday through Friday. And the weekends, we’re on a limited schedule. So I do appreciate everyone who tunes in and listens or listens to the stories or the Sabbath shows or our programming during the week. We do have a decent audience being built, and I do appreciate it. I never expect this to be big, because a lot of the things that I say
• 28:51is just simply not going to go over with the average person. The average person really does not want to live under God’s law. They do not want to live under God’s rules. They really want to be free, moral, independent agents until the day they die. An 80 year old is no different than an 8 month old. They want it their way, always. That’s the human nature and God is trying to get you to change your human nature and learn how to imbibe His nature in your soul.
• 29:18This is Bob Barney for the Plain Truth today. Have a great, safe weekend. We’ll be back here Monday morning at 7 11 a.m. with another show and until then Bob Barney saying thank you for 11 a.m. with another show and until then Bob Barney saying thank you for listening. Bye-bye.
