Is DHS Secretary Kristi Noem lying to the public about Real ID? In this video, I break down her repeated false claims about needing a Real ID to fly—and why I believe these are intentional lies, not simple mistakes.

I'll walk you through the timeline of her statements, what the TSA actually says about acceptable IDs, and why the Real ID Act gives the Secretary of Homeland Security disturbing power to expand its use—far beyond airports.

We'll also explore how Real ID could soon be used for online age verification, renting a hotel, buying a phone, or opening a bank account. Plus, I'll preview an upcoming interview on digital ID and age verification and share the disturbing parallels between the U.S. and the U.K.'s new online safety laws.
