To ensure the safety and security of everyone, it's crucial that we acknowledge and comprehend this fact.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss government disinformation offices and transparency concerns. - CISA’s office of mis, dis, and malinformation (MDM) operated as a DHS unit focused on domestic threat actors, with archive details at cisa.gov/mdm. The office existed for two years, from 2021 to 2023, before being shut down and renamed after the foundation published a series of reports. - The disinformation governance board was formed around April 2022. The CISOs countering foreign influence task force, originally aimed at stopping Russian influence and repurposed to “stop Trump in the twenty twenty election,” changed its name to the office of mis, dis, and malinformation and shifted focus from foreign influence to 80% domestic, 20% foreign, one month before the twenty twenty election. - Speaker 1 argues that the information environment problems are largely domestic, suggesting an 80/20 focus on foreign vs domestic issues should be flipped. - A June 2022 Holly Senate committee link is highlighted, leading to a 31-page PDF that, as of now, represents the sum total of internal documents related to the office of mis, dis, and malinformation. The speaker questions why there is more transparency about the DHS MIS office from a whistleblower three years ago than in ten months of current executive power. - The speaker calls for comprehensive publication of internal files: every email, text, and correspondence from DHS MIS personnel, to be placed in a WikiLeaks/JFK-style publicly accessible database for forensic reconstruction of DHS actions during those years, to name and shame responsible individuals and prevent repetition. - The video also references George Soros state department cables published by WikiLeaks (from 2010), noting extensive transparency about the Open Society Foundations’ relationship with the state department fifteen years ago, compared to today. The claim is that Open Society Foundations’ activities through the state department, USAID, and the CIA were weaponized to influence domestic politics while remaining secret, with zero disclosures to this day. - Speaker questions why cooperative agreements from USAID with Open Society Foundation, Omidyar Network, or Gates Foundation have never been made public, nor quarterly or annual milestone reports, network details, or the actual scope of funded activities. USAID grant descriptions on usaspending.gov are often opaque or misleading compared to the true activities funded. - The speaker urges transparency across DHS, USAID, the State Department, CIA, ODNI, and related entities, asking for open files and for accountability. They stress the need to open these records now to inform the public and prevent recurrence, especially as mid-term political considerations loom.

Individuals enrolling in TSA PreCheck or Global Entry sign a release granting the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI unrestricted, warrantless access to all their personal data. This includes health records, physical and mental information, social media, communications, and court history. This access is indefinite. People are giving up their rights permanently for the convenience of faster passage through security. This sweeping surrender of privacy is in the fine print that few people read.

The speakers discuss concerns about the Real ID Act and its potential impact on privacy and civil liberties. They cite Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's announcement to enforce Real ID starting May 7, requiring a high-resolution digital facial image to travel by air or visit federal buildings. They reference Thomas Massie's criticism, arguing Real ID won't stop terrorists but is a tool for controlling Americans. Concerns are raised about the Act's potential to be used to restrict Second Amendment rights, referencing California's past attempts. They highlight a case where a Tufts University student was detained and faced deportation for alleged antisemitism, despite the State Department finding no evidence to support the claims. They note the irony of a pro-Israel group defending her free speech rights. Finally, they discuss the drop in European travel to the U.S., attributing it to a backlash against Trump's policies and worries about the treatment of foreigners, potentially harming the U.S. economy.

At the Tucson airport, a sign indicates that non-US citizens without passports should enter a specific line. Surprisingly, TSA allows an arrest warrant as a valid form of ID for illegal aliens. If an arrest warrant can secure a domestic flight for them, it raises the question of why it can't lead to their arrest. As a member of Congress with TSA pre-check, I must verify my identity. If my airline ticket lists my name as Wesley J Hunt, I cannot board the plane, highlighting the inconsistency in the system.

Speaker 0 asks whether you need to show ID, questions if that has a warrant, and asks if you don’t have an ID.

A vaccine requirement for interstate travel should be implemented. It was a major oversight by the Biden administration not to issue this requirement. While train and plane travel are already relatively safe, a vaccine requirement would make them even safer and encourage more people, especially those with young children, to travel. More importantly, it needs to be clear that there are privileges associated with being an American, and vaccination should be a prerequisite for those privileges. The right to interstate travel is not a constitutional right. Choosing to remain unvaccinated is acceptable, but it should preclude the ability to travel.

They had a voter ID the size of citizens, like a picture with all their information. It was required to enter the convention, but we don't want voter ID for voting.

"You're planning a trip to Europe, you're gonna have to hand over way more than your" "passport when you get there. The as part of a new entry exit system, visitors to most European countries will have to provide four fingerprints and a facial photo at a self operated kiosk." "The information will be stored for three years with the photo being used for ID verification on later visits." "Travelers who refuse to provide their biometric data will be denied entry." "The goal of the program is to enhance security and speed up border crossings, it is said." "The new system is set to be rolled out over six months starting in October and applies to 29 countries, including popular destinations like France, Italy, and Spain."

Lucy introduces her digital ID wallet, which serves as a convenient tool for proving and safeguarding her identity online and in person. This wallet, issued by the government, offers various identity services. One of its key functions is assisting governments in effectively communicating with citizens. Currently, Lucy's wallet is reminding her to schedule an appointment that is mandatory for her.

United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristine Ulm urges travelers to acquire a REAL ID to prevent delays and prove their identity. Starting May 7, a REAL ID will be required for air travel and to access federal buildings in the United States. These IDs enhance security and help prevent fraud, contributing to national safety. Travelers are encouraged to act promptly to obtain a REAL ID. More information is available at dhs.gov/realID.

Illegals at the Miami airport can use the CBP one app as a valid ID to board planes in the US. The app allows migrants to claim asylum and enter the country, even if they have committed crimes. The app does not require photos and does not store biographical information. This raises concerns as illegal immigrants from countries on terror watch lists can use this process, while American citizens are required to have a real ID by 2025 to board flights. This discrepancy is difficult to justify.

The CBP One app, used by migrants claiming asylum, is now accepted at TSA checkpoints in the Miami airport's Delta terminal as valid ID for boarding planes. The CBP One app was intended to validate non-US citizen travel documentation when a traveler lacks acceptable ID. According to the speaker, migrants can enter any information into the app, even those wanted for crimes. Photos are optional, and biographical information is not stored. The speaker questions how people from terror watch list countries can use this process. The speaker contrasts this with the Real ID requirement for Americans by May 2025 to board flights. They question how illegal immigrants can board planes with unverifiable information while Americans face stricter ID requirements.

Speaker 0 states they can help the individual register when they get their ID. Speaker 1 asserts that an ID does not prove citizenship. Speaker 0 says they moved the individual from citizens in 2013 and that they had IDs in multiple states. The individual acknowledges this.

Homeland Security Secretary Christine Noem announced that Real ID enforcement would begin May 7, requiring a high-resolution digital facial image to travel by air or visit federal buildings. She claimed these IDs enhance security and prevent fraud. This announcement received backlash, including criticism from Thomas Massie, who called Real ID unnecessary and a tool for control. Massie argued that Real ID won't stop terrorists and pointed out that the 9/11 hijackers held passports from other countries. Real ID was signed into law in 2005 by President George W. Bush and authored by James Sensenbrenner, who also authored the Patriot Act. Massie explained that Real ID isn't a database itself but proof that a physical person matches an entry in a digital database. He warned that its power will be realized when everyone complies and that records, such as vax records or gun records, could be added to it.

The Biden administration is allowing migrants to bypass ID checks at airports, raising security concerns. A recent DHS report reveals that illegal migrants can use the CBP One app instead of traditional identification, even choosing whether to allow officers to take their photo. This practice may inadvertently increase national security risks, according to the inspector general. A DHS spokesperson disputed the report, claiming it lacks context. However, the national security director for air marshals emphasized that unvetted individuals on flights pose a threat, as they can repeatedly fly without proper identification, often on taxpayer-funded flights.

The speaker thanks the madam speaker and asks their colleague about air travel. They mention a budget announcement of $105 million over 5 years for the known traveler digital identity pilot project. They refer to a World Economic Forum document that discusses attestations of citizenship, educational degrees, and vaccination for viral disease. The speaker wants their colleague to explain the government's investment in this project.

I'm at Reagan National Airport and just went through security. TSA has a new system where you insert your driver's license into a scanner, then they require you to use facial recognition. When I tried to opt out and use just my license, they said it's not possible once you start the process. The manager admitted it doesn't make sense but claimed it's a new policy. I argued that I shouldn't be forced into facial recognition after being told to use the scanner. This feels like an attempt to eliminate using just a driver's license. This is big government overreach, setting up a national surveillance system using our faces and airports. I will continue to fight against this.

Speaker 0 announces a policy: 'Made today, I am announcing this government will make a new free of charge digital ID mandatory for the right to work by the end of this parliament.' He adds, 'Let me spell that out.' The policy states, 'You will not be able to work in The United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID.' He concludes, 'It's as simple as that.' The speaker conveys an intent to require digital ID at no cost, tying it to employment rights by the end of the current parliamentary term, and asserts that absence of digital ID would bar work in the UK, framed as a straightforward requirement.

TSA is now using facial recognition software to take photos of travelers, which can be opted out of. However, agents often pressure individuals to comply. This morning in Newark, I clearly stated my desire to opt out, but an agent insisted I had to have my photo taken. I had to go to another agent to formally refuse. It's frustrating that this has become the norm. Additionally, there are concerns about the government's push for a nationwide real ID, which would create a federal database of personal information. The combination of mandatory facial recognition and the real ID initiative raises significant privacy issues for travelers.

Speaker 0: President Trump is urging Congress to pass the Save America Act, describing it as one of the most critical pieces of legislation in our nation's history. He asserts the Save America Act is overwhelmingly popular with all Americans because each provision is rooted in common sense, and outlines five simple requirements as requested by the president of the United States. 1) Voters have to show ID to cast a ballot in an American election. He states this is very simple and notes that 90% of Americans, including more than 80% of Democrat voters, agree with this. 2) The Save America Act will require all voters to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. He asserts this is popular and rooted in common sense, insisting that only American citizens have the right to vote in American elections. He claims that after Joe Biden and the Democrats allowed tens of millions of illegal aliens into the country, it is more important than ever to ensure that only American citizens are registering to vote on our nation's voter rolls, and he calls on Congress to pass this. 3) The Save America Act abolishes the incongruously unsecure practice of universal mail-in ballots, which he says "throw the door wide open for fraud." He notes that the act maintains exceptions for Americans to use mail-in ballots for illness, disability, military, or travel reasons. He references the bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former president Jimmy Carter and former secretary of state James Baker, which concluded that absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud and that Congress should address this. 4) The Save America Act permanently bans men from competing in women's sports. He notes that President Trump signed a landmark executive order upholding the promise of Title IX and ending this practice, and argues that now it’s time for Congress to codify this into law. 5) The Save America Act bans transgender mutilation surgery for children. He states that the president signed a common-sense executive order to do this and kept his promise to the American people, but now Congress needs to codify it. He asserts it is well past time for Democrats in Congress to stop perpetuating the radical and false claim that you can somehow change a child's sex, stating that you cannot. He concludes by saying passing the Save America Act is the most important thing Republicans—and frankly Democrats—can do to strengthen election integrity and protect democracy. He asserts it is what the American people elected Republicans to do and that they must deliver on it as soon as possible. The president calls on Congress to get the job done and send this historic piece of legislation to his desk immediately for signature.

The discussion centers on concerns about REAL ID and its potential implications for privacy and freedom. It's argued that REAL ID violates the Tenth Amendment and is a step toward a national identification system that could lead to a social credit system like China's. The American Association for Motor Vehicle Administrators allegedly plans to digitize REAL ID, making it remotely accessible. The Secretary of Homeland Security's authority to determine additional uses for REAL ID is criticized, fearing it could be required for various activities. The claim that a REAL ID is required to fly by May 7 is refuted, citing a two-year progressive enforcement rule. The speakers urge people to refuse REAL ID, switch back to standard state driver's licenses, and contact legislators to repeal REAL ID in their states. They believe the system is built on biometrics, allowing the government to claim ownership of body parts for control and tracking. They encourage people to share their airport experiences and fund billboards to raise awareness.

Things are getting stricter at the border. Yesterday, they started new checks at Otay. The National Guard was polite, asking to inspect our car. The whole process took only 10-15 minutes, mostly because the dog sniffed around. They were looking for drugs, people, and firearms. Don't bring illegal substances, even if legal where you're from. You need a passport or a birth certificate with matching ID. They didn't ask for visas or other paperwork. My mom, a resident, used her green card, and I used my passport card. It’s important to be careful and aware of your surroundings. Look out for each other. Stay safe.

Four years ago, the UN announced a goal to implement digital IDs worldwide by 2030 as part of its sustainable development agenda. The UN Digital ID aims to streamline information sharing and access for UN personnel using blockchain and biometrics. Years prior, Donald Trump also aimed to complete a biometric entry/exit visa tracking system across land, sea, and air. According to the report, the opening of borders was intended to create chaos, making a digital ID system more acceptable. The Trump administration allegedly used tariffs to pressure foreign nations into biometric cooperation. After threatening tariffs on Colombia, a biometric cooperation agreement was drafted. The US Secretary of Homeland Security discussed biometric data sharing with the Mexican president in exchange for ending tariffs. Mexico now requires its CURP (similar to a US social security number) to include a QR code with fingerprint and retinal scan data. This data will be shared with Mexican and US agencies. The biometric CURP is required to purchase internet and mobile service, and internet providers must share user geolocation data with Mexican authorities.
