Ep. 210: From Driver’s License to Digital ID: The Truth About REAL ID

In this episode of The One Dream Podcast, Leah Wilson is joined by Twila Brase, a leading voice in health freedom and privacy rights, to uncover the truth behind REAL ID. Is it just an upgraded driver’s license, or is it paving the way for a national surveillance system?

Twila explains how REAL ID is a federally controlled identification system, not just a state-issued license. She shares the history of its quiet implementation, the constitutional concerns it raises, and the push for digital IDs that could lead to government overreach and tracking.

🔹 Key Takeaways:

REAL ID is a national ID system, not just a driver's license upgrade. It opens the door to expanded government tracking and control. Digital IDs and biometric surveillance are being integrated into airport security and beyond. Resistance is possible—opting for a standard state ID instead of REAL ID helps slow compliance. Legislative action and public awareness are crucial to stopping this expansion of federal power.

📣 Take Action:

Check your driver’s license – If it has a star (or in some states, a symbol like a bear or tree with a star), it’s a REAL ID. You can request a standard state ID instead.
