Unless America Repents, God’s Judgment Will Stand!
On today’s episode of Countdown 2 Eternity, Pastors James and Tom discuss the inevitability of God’s judgment being passed down on the United States of America if it continues down a path of no repentance. Although we have been given the blessing of what may be one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history, if our nation does not choose to walk according to God’s precepts, it will still fall apart in a tragic way for all to see. So much is happening that should cause the alarm to ring, yet many continue to ignore the warning signs. Today we will be discussing these issues and much more.
James Kaddis: Well hello, my dear brothers and sisters! I want to welcome you to another episode of Countdown to Eternity. I don't actually have to say much more because I'm with the great Tom Hughes, and that means it's going to be a lit-up show. What's the latest and greatest, bro?
Tom Hughes: It is going to be lit up, James, because we're going to talk about these people that are out there that are doing everything they can to destroy America. This is actually to destroy everything in the West. We can already tell what's happened to Europe. Most people are already saying Europe is gone. The floodgates have been open too long. The people who are supposed to be paying attention and protecting the people who live in Europe were not. There are too many of them that were part of it.
Here in America, we are finding out, if people are willing to look, that there are people that are on the inside in media, in the government, there are judges, teachers, and professors that are all part of this Marxist agenda to destroy the United States of America. You can follow the money trail. You see all of these different dynamics that are going on.
But Jesus said that a house divided against itself cannot stand. That's where this is heading. It is a reshaping. We know prophetically where it's going to end, but right now, we are living through this attempted destruction of the U.S. It's happening to churches. Churches, quite frankly, are complicit in an awful lot of this. Then you've got the insanity of people like Don Lemon who go against the church for other reasons. Exactly the opposite, because going in to say, "Hey, you guys are all evil here at the church." We look at all of this stuff that's going on; it's about the destruction of America.
James Kaddis: Don Lemon is a Satan worshipper. Let me just make myself really clear when I say that because that man hid behind some journalistic lie to actually go and disrupt a church service. He hates God, he hates the people of God, and he hates any country that would acknowledge the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because that God is the one that speaks against the demonic lifestyle that he continues to live.
He gets kicked out of CNN, and if you leave CNN and you're on the left side, then something's really wrong with you. You're a triple loser. Not only does he do that, but he manages to burn every possible bridge that he can. Of course, liar Chris Cuomo is going to pretend as though they're still close friends and everything is good and he's going to defend him because he's a co-conspirator.
So let's just leave that alone. Then he goes to X and he tries to hustle Elon Musk. Who did he think he was dealing with? Did he actually think he was going to get anything out of Elon? "I want a bonus. I want a Cybertruck." I think Cybertrucks don't even turn on for guys like Don Lemon. They probably mistake him for XY. It's crazy. Yes, I said that correctly.
But here's the other problem. He burns bridges there, then he goes and he burns bridges with every other person that he can possibly imagine. Then he starts hanging out with these low-lifes, "man on the street" or "woman on the street" in his case, going around asking questions about things that have absolutely no relevance.
Then in the bottom of the barrel where he joins all the bottom-feeder animals, he decides he's going to take one last swipe at becoming somebody that actually means something, and he invades a church. He's a criminal. He belongs in federal prison, plain and simple. He's an evil man. The way that he was talking to that pastor, I'm surprised God didn't strike him down on the spot. But you are right. This is the cultural Marxist garbage that they continue to buy into. It's just ridiculous.
The country's over it. We're all over it. It's just ridiculous. That's the kind of thing that we're seeing, and we're seeing it coming out in droves. The Muslims are becoming friends with the Marxists because they're the same people. They're coming out of the same mold. One group of people read all of Karl Marx's garbage, all of his nonsense. The other group of people read a Quran.
The only real extant manuscripts that we have of the Quran date nearer to the Ottoman Empire than the time that so-called Muhammad even lived. The only time we see the name Muhammad mentioned in the Quran is when you see four references to Muhammad, which Muhammad doesn't mean Muhammad; it means "blessed one," which is probably talking about the Messiah because Muhammad never even existed during that time. You're going to die by a book that says Allah is the chief of deceivers. Good job, Don Lemon. Good job. You're in bed, besides the crazy white guy that you're sleeping with, you're in bed with the liars who call themselves Muslim who hate you because you're black and you're gay, by the way. This doesn't make me emotional at all. It doesn't move me one bit.
Tom Hughes: The absurdity of it is off the charts. I look at these things taking place right now. Don Lemon goes into a church, all these protests with ICE, you can follow the money trail. The money trail is being reported just about everywhere now. They're showing that the money's coming from China, you have Qatar money in here, obviously we have everything going on with the Somalis, Ilhan Omar. You have George Soros, all of these different radical groups that are tied in here. Code Pink is tied in with it. It's the Democratic Socialists of America, which AOC is part of.
The money is all being funneled through these massive bank accounts through these different organizations to fund protests that are not peaceful protests. I was talking about this just the other night: the fifth column. You know darn well what the fifth column is. For all of our viewers, basically how it works—it was Sun Tzu in Art of War. Alexander the Great's father was the first one that coined the phrase, obviously in Greek, but in the Western world.
The thought is you have the enemy coming at you from four different places on the outside, four different columns from the outside. But you have the collaborators who work with the enemy on the outside, but they're on the inside. The ones on the inside are known as the fifth column. It was Emilio Mola that said Madrid was going to fall because when they come from the outside with their four columns, it's the fifth column that will ensure the fall of Madrid.
It's that thought. What it is, is the people on the inside that make war against the actual country itself from the inside. That's what we are seeing happening right now with the people that are Marxists. They're being funded by them, and most of them are too stupid to even realize what they are doing. They're just told, "Hey, we'll give you some money. Hold up this sign and go yell over here." Then you have idiots that are dumb enough to bring a gun, but praise God we have video footage of all these different things that people are doing. But this is what's happening. It's the fifth column; it's intentional to destroy America. It's been going on for a long time.
Then, James, if we look at Iran, what's going to happen when the U.S. does hit Iran? I think the U.S. is going to; I think it's just a matter of time. Khamenei isn't going to back down, and Trump isn't going to back down. Neither of them can. I think Trump's hoping that it doesn't come to that, but it's going to come to that. So what's going to happen? Iran says, "Hey, we have all of our people that were let through the borders in the U.S., all of these Iranian operatives, these terrorists that are all over the U.S." I've heard the numbers as high as 100,000 that are here in the U.S. Khamenei has said the moment the U.S. hits us, we're launching missiles at Tel Aviv and we're going to tell our operatives in the U.S. to just wreak terror everywhere they are.
So you have this fifth column that is already bringing protests everywhere. You've got judges that are part of the fifth column. You have the Don Lemon idiots that go into churches and then get praise on the Grammy Awards as a hero for what they are doing. They are going to destroy this country, and most of them are too stupid to even realize what they're doing.
James Kaddis: They're collaborating with the enemy, and the enemy just hates them. They're useful idiots to the enemy. The Marxists and the Muslims will kill them all because they hate them. We have to wake up and we have to be prepared. There are churches that need to start thinking twice about these types of things. I dare you to walk into Tim Thompson's church. Go ahead. Any one of you, go ahead and do that. I dare you to walk into mine or anyone else that has massive contingencies. Not that we want to welcome anything like that, but you're right. If you want to talk about the fifth column, let's get real. Let's actually talk about what's going on within the MAGA contingency.
Let's talk about what's happening with a whole group of people that are literally seeking to turn their hearts against what the current president of the United States stands for. You've got people—let me reiterate something—you've got people who just a year and a half ago would talk about Israel being our allies and how important it is for us to hold up democracy in one of the worst neighborhoods in the world, who is now saying, "I am a Christian, a devout Christian who has no problem sitting in the seat of Islam."
You either are completely clueless, which I completely disavow—firsthand I know you're not clueless. You know exactly what you're talking about. You are bought and paid for. You are owned. You have these people where this dynamic that is just radical that is going on; most people aren't even seeing it. They don't even understand what the chain reaction could end up looking like. They don't get it.
Let's just deal with it at the most basic level. How about we deal with it at the level of these young teenage kids, or even we take it further and we talk about these kids that are college-age, the same generation as your son, the same generation as people that I absolutely love. So many of them are complaining. They're being rallied around; they're being taught to believe Israel is the problem. The scapegoats are being created. "You can't buy a house because of Israel. We're giving money to Israel. You can't do this because of this is going on. You can't do this because that's going on," when in reality, the only reason why this generation is in the place that they're in is because the people that have been around them have lied to them, have been unfaithful to them, and have not taught them how to be responsible with what they've been given.
Tom Hughes: So now we have a group of young men who would rather play video games in their basements while financing their pizza and listening to guys like Nick Fuentes, wondering why—and by the way, I said "Fuentes" on purpose; I'm being very methodical about how I'm even pronouncing his name—because the reality of it is, they are making excuses for what they know for whatever reason they can't obtain because of their own irresponsibility.
That's why Charlie Kirk was killed. Charlie Kirk was killed because he said the only way we can find the lost boys and save them is to teach them what the Bible says to do. Go get married, love your God, serve your God, work hard, do whatever it takes to be able to be put in the position where you are forced in the place of capacity of responsibility that God has called you to. Instead, we're teaching these little boys how to become girls. That is the problem, and that is all part of the fifth column, every little bit of that.
All these people are doing, even though they think they're helping, they are destroying. So much blood is on their hands. It's being developed within the Bannon culture; it's being developed within all these different types of people who claim to be MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, but their focus is on the wrong thing. Their focus has always been on the wrong thing because they're being lied to. That's what's happening, and that's why America's in trouble.
James Kaddis: It's not about "Make America Great Again" or "America First." You're friends with David Tow, and so am I. David just said the other day, "Look, I believe in America First," although he's Israeli. But he understands the dynamic that you need a strong America. Ben Shapiro doesn't argue against that. Ben Shapiro is accused otherwise, but it's simply not true. What it is, it's not "Make America Great Again," it's not "America First." That's not what they really think. It's "America Only."
What they also refuse to do is admit the fact that they know—Marjorie Taylor Greene, I guarantee you, Steve Bannon knows this, the rest of the lot—they all know this. Nick Fuentes might not, but that's another story. The rest of them all know it: that the money that the U.S. has been giving to Israel for weapons was actually money that Israel had to spend in the U.S. to support U.S. companies. So basically, the money coming from Washington was funneled through Israel to boost the U.S. economy. It's completely different from any kind of handout that was ever going on. It's not about supporting the homeless people in Israel or any of the other nonsense things that the U.S. government does give to other countries. It's not about the unemployment in Israel so unemployed people can have money from U.S. tax dollars. So these lies are everywhere out there. That's not what this is about. They know this, but they refuse to admit it.
Tom Hughes: Israel also has been pushed into a place of saying, "Fine, you know what? We realize that we cannot depend on the U.S. that much longer. Trump will not be president forever, and we've got to make plans now." So Netanyahu comes out—you saw it, you've talked about it—and says, "Guess what? We're going to have to start manufacturing our own weapons. Guess what? We're going to have to do this."
I did see a couple of shots that were taken here back at the U.S., and it was basically this: Instead of standing up for Israel and speaking the truth on what really happens with that money, the U.S. will not speak the truth about how the money is really used that comes to us. They won't defend us. So we realize that even the narrative against Israel is not defended by the U.S. government when it comes to the money. So Israel says, "Hey, we've really got no choice. We're going to have to be 100% supportive of our own money, our own weapons."
It reminds me—this goes all the way back to just after World War II when Great Britain was still saying, "Hey, you know what, Israel? You Jews, we're not going to give you any weapons. We're not going to give you any ammunition." You've done history about that stuff. Israel—I went and visited the bullet factory there. In fact, I went with David. We went to the bullet factory. I don't know if you've ever been able to visit it. We call it the Speakeasy Bullet Factory. It's the underground bullet factory. It is off the charts. You go there and you realize the Jews had to make their own bullets, and it could not be found out by Britain. They could not be discovered by Britain, of all things, way back then.
So you have this similar dynamic that Israel's here going, "The U.S. has been supportive, but guess what? When Trump's gone, or we just get to midterms, this whole thing's going to flip." Because there are so many people that are coming up behind the scenes that are being influenced by all of these different people on the right that are saying you need to abandon Israel. It's coming to the place—Genesis chapter 12 verse 3: "I'll bless those who bless you, I'll curse him who curses you." It's coming to the place where America is about ready to curse Israel because the cursing of Israel is already developing exponentially on the right.
James Kaddis: Wake up, people! That's all I want to say. Wake up. I'm American. Can we do some role-playing? I'm just going to role-play on my own. "Hi everybody, I'm all about America First. No, forget it, I'm America only. We shouldn't give any of our money to a foreign country ever under any circumstance. And I have the right to ask whether or not our money goes anywhere. We should never, ever do it. And I'm a devout Christian, and I hate other people that come against my Christianity in my country. I hate them. Oh, by the way, I love Qatar, so I'm going to go buy a house in Qatar."
Like, really? Can we at least have the wisdom and the discernment and the understanding to see through the lies? Can we at least just take a look at what's really going on? If you want to be a propagandist for something that stands against the very core values that gave you what you had, at least show the world that you're a turncoat. At least have the integrity to say, "I am up for the highest bidder." Do that at least, you liar.
Go ahead and do that. You want to praise Maduro? Move to Venezuela. You want to sit down and say there's nothing wrong with Khamenei? Go over to Iran. Spend some time over there. You say you go to Saudi Arabia or you go to one of these other Arab countries because you want to teach people about real estate? Okay, fine. Wonderful, Hillary Clinton or whoever else went up there. No problem. But just identify yourself for what you are: you're a turncoat. You don't care about our country. You know literally nothing about Islam. You've chosen to turn your brain off so that you can collect money from the highest bidder, and you never did care about the future. You are making money off the death of the future. Let's just be real. Let's just call it for what it is. It's ridiculous.
Tom Hughes: Then you have the people in Congress, for example, they're saying cut off all funds to Israel. Again, the funds to Israel come back to the U.S. It's a business plan for the U.S., is what it is. But at the same time, these same people are saying cut off Israel, and all of a sudden you find out all of this money is being funneled through Minnesota, all of these Somali learning centers and Tim Walz and everything else, and you realize, wait a minute. Hold on a minute.
So it's taking what they are doing. They're doing these evil things, blaming Israel as if Israel is bad, and yet the things that they are doing are even more wicked than the things that they falsely accuse Israel of. Which brings me to another point: colonization. Real simple. Is Israel the great colonizer because they are accused of it? Well, here's the funny thing: they're accused of being colonizers by people in England. Wait a minute. How did this happen, that Israel's a colonizer?
Okay, let's say the British Mandate was all part of why we have Israel today. Well, the British Mandate and other mandates were also the reasons why we have Jordan, why we have Syria, why we have Lebanon, why we have Iraq, why we have Iran, all of the different mandates that are out there. And if you look at what Israel was actually given, it was actually given a lot less land than the British Mandate was supposed to give it. But anyways, that's another story.
If you look at colonizers, let's just look at Africa. How many African nations have been colonized by Islam? Just start there. Then you start looking north of Israel, and then you start looking all over, you go, wait a minute. How many nations have the Jews colonized? How many? How many nations has Israel colonized? You know the easiest way to tell how a nation has been colonized, or if a nation is a colonizing nation, is how many nations speak that language. So how many nations speak a language that would be a variation of Arabic? And English?
I mean, it's absurd. How many nations speak Hebrew? And do you see any Jews that are in Israel that are saying, "Hey, no matter what Candace Owens says—I'm sorry, I wasn't supposed to mention her name today—no matter what she said about Israel wanting Iran and Israel wanting Venezuela, this is why this is really going on." You're thinking, okay, out of all the Jews I've ever known, I haven't known of any that I met in Israel that say, "Hey, we want to go and acquire a few more countries." No, typically when it comes to the Jews who are living in Israel, we just want to live as Jews. That's what we want to do. We just want to live as Jews. We don't even want more people to come to our religion. We just want to be here. I look and go, the arguments are just absolutely absurd, or the accusations are absolutely absurd.
James Kaddis: If I look like I'm preoccupied, it's because I was looking for a list that I had developed because of all the accusations made with respect to AIPAC. That is to me one of the most hilarious ones that I see. Because if you think about AIPAC, they don't even come close to the largest spenders in the United States of America. I can show this to you because it is just unbelievable. Let me show this to you; I'm going to bring up the list.
If we want to talk about foreign lobbyists, meaning other countries spending money in America to gain whatever they want for themselves, top reported foreign government lobbying principal expenditures: Liberia stands at number one. Saudi Arabia, number two. Japan's External Trade Organization, number three. Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, number four. Tsingtao News Corp LTD, number five. Republic of the Marshall Islands, number six. Government of Abu Dhabi, number seven. CCTV America, which is Chinese state media, number eight. Government of Quebec, that's Canada, number nine.
By the way, if you want to bring context into it, China still probably falls number one because of some of the other, shall we call, "honeypot" organizations that exist. Now, if we talk about major foreign clients and American lobbying spending, meaning you have American lobbyists that are sitting in the United States of America being paid for by foreign interests to control things in the United States of America: Saudi Arabia is number one. China is number two. Japan is number three. South Korea is number four. Qatar is number five. Number five. El Salvador is number six, and that's because of one major lobbyist. Argentina is number seven.
And if you want to go in order of the other ones, Israel doesn't even fall on the list compared to the kind of money that's actually being spent. And if you want to talk about individuals, top U.S. firms and lobbyists representing foreign interests: Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, a major U.S. firm that represents Saudi Arabian government, mostly the Saudi Arabian government. Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, they're one of the largest lobbying firms, and an overwhelming majority of their interests center around countries not Israel. BGR Group, same thing; they represent India, Ukraine, Hong Kong, and previously Saudi Arabia. I can go on and on and on. None of them are doing high-profile work for Israel.
Tom Hughes: AIPAC—you know this, but a lot of people don't realize this—AIPAC is private U.S. citizens. It's not the Israeli government; it's U.S. citizens behind AIPAC. They don't have to do FARA registration. That's right. They throw it out there as if it's the Israeli government lobbying. AIPAC is not that. Do you want to guess how much money AIPAC spent in 2023?
I think I've seen these numbers rather recently, and it was not nearly as high as people think it is. If I remember right, it was something like 3.5 million. It was 3 million, and it's at around 3.5 million right now. Some of the largest Super PACs in existence are spending in upwards of tens of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars, and none of them are AIPAC. I'm looking at the data.
I totally get it. Just here for a simple—I know we've got to go because we're out of time—but real quick: not only that, for people who say Israel controls the media, well, if Israel controls the media, why is anti-Semitism everywhere? Everywhere, including Hollywood. If Israel controls the banks, then why is there Saudi money, Chinese money, Qatar money? You start looking, you go, well wait a minute, if they're controlling all of the funds... and then they'll say, "Well, look at this Jew is the president of this bank." Well, guess what? A Muslim is the president of the largest bank over in Israel. Israel's not an apartheid state. A Palestinian, forget Muslim, a Palestinian! So the lies that are being told are awful. James, I've got to go.
James Kaddis: We're going to go, but I want to just say this, because it's important to the body of Christ. Please listen to me when I say this. Listen to Tom when we say this. It's time to be principled about the things that we do. Stop listening to the liars. Stop voting for liars. In the state of California—don't even get me started on that, we're going to end up talking about that later—but I want to just simply say this because this is so critically important.
America is on a fast track to judgment. We're watching it. If you think America was going to be judged fast because of all the nonsense Joe Biden did, America may be judged faster under one of the best presidents we've ever had because if you buy the lies, God will give you what you want. This is Isaiah chapter 19 territory right here. That's what we're looking at. Same thing. So I just think we just have to wake up. We just have to wake up. Tom, I'll give you the last word, brother.
Tom Hughes: Well, think of it like this: when Biden was president, we were all on alert. Everybody's like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't do this, you can't do this." Now what's happened is the right has been so infected with chameleons, liars, saying they're one thing and publicly people believe them. I don't want to get started on California; I know we'll do a program in the future on some of the things in California that are just very deceptive.
But that's another story. But it shows—it's a magnifying glass on the greater problem. And the right has serious problems. People just jump on board with people on the right because they say, "Oh, they're thinking like me on this, this, and this." And then next thing you know, you get the Candace Owens, you get all of these different people. And it's not just Israel. It's across the board on everything that we believe and hold to as being true. There are people out there that, quite frankly, they are fake Christians. They will say they are a Christian in order to get votes. That is happening, and people need to wake up to what is really going on.
James Kaddis: All right, I'm out of time. All right, guys, we love you. Thank you for putting up with my loud mouth and Tom's not-so-loud mouth. I hope that you've enjoyed watching this as much as we've enjoyed making it. We love you guys, may God richly bless you. We cannot wait to continue to see what God will do in these crazy days. Stay close to Him. It's amazing stuff. We love you guys. God bless you.
