The Equality Act is compared to a forerunner of a dystopian society, where individuals are deemed untrustworthy and unemployable if they don't align with the government's views. This scenario is reminiscent of China's social credit system and the totalitarian governments depicted in 1984 and Brave New World.

Robert, is it too much of a stretch to say that the Equality Act, what's taking place, we've been discussing so far, is a forerunner to this total dystopian Orwellian situation that is taking place right now in China, where you get a low rating because you're deemed untrustworthy, you're not part of the government program, so to speak, in any way in your life. Is that too much of a stretch?

Oh, I think we're already there in some respects. Look at the founder of Mozilla Firefox, the internet browser, Brendan Eich. He was fired from his own company by his board eight years after he had made a donation to the marriage proposition campaign in California, Prop 8 in 2008. Eight years later, they discovered that he had donated to it, and so they said he's unfit to run their company.

In other words, he didn't have social credits at that point. But this Equality Act would put this on everybody. It would basically be a huge hammer coming down saying, if you don't think like we do, celebrate what we think, acknowledge and appreciate everything we propose, every sexual activity, every relationship, taking kids and convincing them they're the opposite sex. We're coming after you.

We're going to make sure you're unemployable. If you do have legal repercussions like that, it's the beginnings of a social credit system like China has. It's a horrifying scenario. It's right out of 1984 and Brave New World.

It's Big Brother telling you not only how to act, but what to think. Not surprising, it's coming from the biggest communist country in the world. I think people in America don't realize two things.

One, how good we have it here. This is an amazing country. It's a unique nation blessed by God with untold freedom and prosperity. And that's because of our Christian roots, which helped us develop a system of individual freedom under God. And if we lose it, we won't get it back.

We'll drift toward a Chinese model. People have to know that the stakes here, and Christians in particular, have read Revelation, the Mark of the Beast. The social credit system is the Mark of the Beast. You're either deemed fit or unfit in that totalitarian society. And the Equality Act here is a very big step in that direction.
