In 2022, something happened in Canada
that should have stopped the world in
its tracks. Hundreds of ordinary
citizens, teachers, mechanics,
stay-at-home moms, all had their bank
accounts frozen for legal donations they
made. No trial, no warrant, no just
cause. Just a government decree signed
in the name of a madeup emergency. It
was the first time in the modern west
that financial access, the driving
heartbeat of everyday life, was switched
off by a head of state for political
reasons. In the book 1984, George Orwell
wrote, "If you want a picture of the
future, imagine a boot stamping on a
human face forever." Orwell understood
what so many seem to have forgotten.
Governments are made of humans and power
corrupts humans. Governments are
extremely useful in protecting the weak
from the powerful. They allow us to act
as a collective and stand in opposition
to those who would conquer or just take
from us. But they also tend towards
tyranny. When you remember their utility
but forget the tendency to tyranny, you
invite the boot upon your face. As
Thomas Jefferson said, "The price of
liberty is eternal vigilance." And now
with the rise of artificial
intelligence, we have to be more
vigilant than ever. AI is a miracle. And
I couldn't be more thrilled to live on
the timeline where we get to see the
fruit it will bear. But it won't be
benevolent by accident. It will require
us to make demands of our government and
limit how it can be used. You need look
no further than CO to see how the
government will hoover up every bit of
power and authority that they can. Given
half a chance, they will run every
aspect of our lives that we let them.
Who we can see, where we can go, and
even what we can do. Every crisis makes
people crave safety. Every cry for
safety expands the government's control.
Every bit of control they seize forfeits
another freedom and marches us one step
closer to tyranny. In the face of that,
ask yourself, what will be the result of
allowing the government to enact digital
IDs, CBDC's, and overt and covert
influence over the AI models that will
run much of society. If we're not
vigilant right now, digital IDs, social
credit scores, and the like are going to
become the most oppressive boot in human
history truly press down on our faces
for ever. So today in four easy parts,
we're going to cover what digital IDs
really are, why governments the world
over are so hungry to implement them and
how you can fight back and make sure the
future is as bright and beautiful as we
all know it can be. But do not skip part
four. That's the go forward plan. All
right, welcome to part one. This isn't a
future problem. It's happening right
now. In 2005, Congress passed an
unconstitutional law requiring all
American citizens to be issued a
national identification card. Those
aren't my words. Those are the words of
US Senator Lamar Alexander while
speaking on the Senate floor about Real
ID. Real ID is not the innocuous
initiative that we're being asked to
believe that it is. In a congressional
testimony regarding Real ID, the AAMVA,
which coordinates closely with the DMV,
said that once it's fully imposed, Real
ID will be digitized, potentially put on
your phone, made real time, and remotely
accessible and used to track and control
movement, purchases, and transactions.
And to quote the Citizens Council for
Health Freedom, one of the strongest
advocacy groups for freedom in the US,
Real ID could become a Chinese-like
social credit system linked to a global
ID. As they note on their website, the
expanding use of biometric and digital
ID systems are potential threats to
medical privacy, patient autonomy, and
individual freedom itself. Real ID opens
the door to tracking, profiling, and
control over your medical choices and
daily life. They also note it is a
blatant lie that you can't fly without a
real ID. I know because I've done it.
There are in fact 15 other acceptable
forms of identification. But lying about
it, as Christy Gnome has repeatedly
done, helps accelerate compliance. As
Thomas Jefferson so tragically noted,
the natural progress of things is for
liberty to yield and government to gain
ground. Set another way, it's the very
nature of our government to chip away at
our freedoms. And they're doing so right
now. So, you know what we're up against?
Let's look at the ways our liberties are
being eroded in this very moment. The
goal is to make everything digital so
that like those that donated to the
Canadian Freedom Convoy, your access to
things can be turned on and off
remotely, autonomously, and
instantaneously to ensure compliance. To
do that, your activities need to be
tracked, linked to you, and your money
needs to be digital so it can be seen
and controlled by the government. Enter
digital IDs and CBDC's. A central bank
digital currency or CBDC is
governmentissued money that exists only
in digital form. Unlike the cash in your
pocket, every CBDC transaction is
recorded on a centralized ledger
operated by the issuing bank. Access can
be turned on or off instantly and
individual transactions can be
scrutinized and blocked. Today, more
than 130 countries representing over 98%
of global GDP are exploring or have
already piloted these systems, including
the US. And that's according to the IMF.
China, that eternal bastion of freedom,
is the furthest along with their digital
yuan. The People's Bank of China has
processed more than 250 billion USD
worth of pilot transactions in cities
such as Shenzen and Shanghai. Nigeria
has also launched their digital
currency, the E Naira. Early versions
required linking a national ID to mobile
money accounts, an approach that caused
millions of temporary freezes when data
didn't match. The European Central Bank
is testing a digital euro with limits on
how much each user can hold offline and
the Bank of England is studying similar
caps for a digital pound. A digital ID
system like Real ID is the second
pillar. It's a set of verified
credentials, name, age, residency, and
biometrics. A digitization of your
physical features so you can be
identified by a camera. In addition to
what the US is doing, the European
digital identity wallet will let
citizens log into banks, health systems,
or travel portals using a single
credential, but it will also allow them
to be tracked and controlled. The United
Kingdom's right to work program already
requires employers to verify hires
through a government approved digital
check service, creating another choke
point. Nigeria's national identification
number is already mandatory for SIM
cards and bank accounts. And proving how
well the system works, according to the
Nigerian Communications Commission,
telecoms deactivated more than 70
million lines when compliance deadlines
were missed. Now, as mentioned earlier,
in Canada's 2022 emergency act,
authorities froze more than 200 bank
accounts linked to peaceful support of
protest activity. not even protesting
directly, just supporting the
protesters, showing how quickly access
to funds can be weaponized to force
compliance. Even in the United States,
large payment processors have
occasionally closed accounts for policy
violations, and banks have just outright
debanked people for having the wrong
political opinions. Do you know how
devastating that is? And in China, the
national ID number forms the backbone of
their social credit framework that can
reward or restrict loans, travel, or
even educational access. Each of these
programs are being pitched as being for
efficiency and/or security, but in the
end, they just offer the government a
terrifying and unprecedented level of
control. And that's before we even get
to AI. If you were hoping that this was
all much to do about nothing, because
there's no way to keep tabs on everyone,
forget that. AI already analyzes
billions of financial and online
interactions to detect fraud,
moneyaundering, and quote unquote
harmful content. And it's only getting
faster and more ubiquitous. All of these
systems mature, and as they do, they can
pattern match behavior far faster than
any human bureaucracy, scoring risk,
sentiment, or credibility in real time
and ultimately enforcing the whims of
the bureaucracy in real time. And if you
don't believe me, just think back to co.
What insane ideas would have been
mandated and enforced by AI in 2020 that
by 2025 most people recognize as just
stupid or outright lies. It is easy to
imagine a near future where AI flags a
transaction, say a travel request or
even a social media post for further
review. 30 people a day in the UK are
being arrested now for things they post
on social media. Where does this go in
the future? Science fiction has warned
us about this many times before. In
Minority Report, crimes were predicted
before they occurred. Now, just replace
the clairvoyant precogs from the movie
with AIdriven predictive analytics in
real life and you have a system capable
of restricting action based on
probability. Not even proof. You didn't
do anything wrong. You just might. So,
we're going to stop you. CBDC's also
introduce another variable,
programmability. A token can be coded to
work only for certain purchases or to
expire after a certain date. Is it
really your money if you don't control
it? Look, don't get me wrong, the
potential benefits are real. Lower
fraud, faster payments, streamlined
services, but the risks are massive. a
framework powerful enough to watch
everything, decide what's acceptable,
and automatically block transactions,
travel, and even punish unacceptable
speech. And just in case you're asking
yourself why I'm making such a big deal
of this when we've already handed over
so much personal information to
companies and the government, consider
this. If the government already had this
info, they wouldn't be pushing so hard
for Real ID. They don't push for
information or control that they already
have. You have more control now than you
think you do, but we are losing it every
day. And things can and will get worse
if we just go along to get along. The
show will be right back in just a
second. But first, I want to talk about
something that just happened to me. And
it sadly could happen to you. I had my
phone hacked while traveling. It was a
nightmare. And here's the thing, I'm not
the exception. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile,
they've all made headlines for massive
data breaches and surveillance scandals.
When they're not losing your data,
they're actively selling it. Your
carrier is the weakest link in your
digital security. VPNs and encrypted
apps cannot protect you from attacks
that happen at the network level. Cape
is different. It's a secure mobile
carrier built from the ground up with
privacy as its first principle. They
don't collect your name, social security
number, or address during signup. They
can't lose or sell what they don't
collect. Cape owns its own mobile core,
which means they control everything from
what data is collected to how your
account is authenticated. Click the link
in the show notes to get 33% off your
first 6 months with Cape. And now, let's
get back to the show. So, welcome to
part two. This is a game of control in
the United Kingdom. Police issued over
85,000
COVID related fines for offenses like
sitting in a park or walking too far
from home. That's real. In Australia,
more than 26,000 military personnel were
deployed domestically for public health
compliance. In Melbourne alone, police
arrested more than 20,000 people for
breaching curfew or unauthorized travel.
In Italy, drones and helicopters
patrolled coastal towns to enforce
quarantine. In France, they required
citizens to carry printed travel
certificates for every trip outside
their home. In South Africa, 300,000
people were charged for curfew breaches
within 6 months. Britain launched a
COVID status certification pilot that
required digital passes for entry to
stadiums and events. Google, guess what
they were doing? They logged over two
trillion location updates per day to
produce mobility reports that they then
shared with governments. This was years
ago. In the United States, over 23
million jobs were classified as
non-essential, and businesses that
stayed open risked criminal penalties.
Churches were closed in 31 states, while
liquor stores remained exempt. That's
the kind of decision-making we're up
against. Facebook and Twitter removed or
flagged more than a 100 million posts
for COVID misinformation. YouTube took
down over 1 million videos for the same
reason. Are you really telling me you
can't imagine governments triggering
restrictions based on other emergencies,
acute or long-standing things like meat
overconumption, energy over usage, water
overuse, wasteful spending, etc. All of
those could become triggers for
restrictions. And who gets to decide
what's overusage? The government. Co
certainly isn't the only time the
government has overstepped. In the 45
days alone, after 9/11, Congress packed
the US Patriot Act, which gave the
government its broadest surveillance
powers in US history. According to the
ACLU, section 215 authorized bulk
collection of Americans phone and
internet records without individual
warrants. By 2006, the NSA's stellar
wind program was capturing up to three
billion phone call and email records
every day. Air travel obviously changed
overnight. The Transportation Security
Administration was created in November
2001 and then grew from 0 to 65,000
employees in less than a year. Between
2001 and 2011, the number of CCTV
cameras in London more than tripled,
making it the most surveiled city in the
democratic world. By 2013, Edward
Snowden, remember him? His leaks
confirmed that the NSA's bulk collection
program had stored more than 200 million
text messages a day worldwide. Homeland
Security's annual budget grew from 19
billion in 2002 to 97 billion in 2022,
even after the war on terror had
officially ended. What began as an
emergency has become infrastructure, a
standing bureaucracy built for crisis
that is increasingly being aimed at
ordinary citizens. And when there's no
immediate threat, do you think they fold
up and send everyone home? No way. Every
government agency is trying to get more
dollars to create more programs. The
nature of any organization is to stay
alive and grow. That's why there was
such an immediate and aggressive immune
response to Doge. I did a whole video on
that which you can watch right here. It
is critical to remember that even smart
people can believe really dumb things.
Think about the food pyramid. That was
an unmititigated disaster that almost
certainly shortened human life
expectancy. Built on top of lies and
stupidity and propagated by the
well-meaning and the malicious alike.
The quote unquote elite class is so
convinced they know best. And they have
proven over and over they are perfectly
willing to enforce compliance even when
they're wrong. The only thing that has
ever come to our aid is the scientific
method. And I'm not talking about follow
the science. I'm talking about the
scientific method, the process by which
ideas are debated and tested and most
importantly falsified. I'm talking about
the eternal humility one needs to have
burned into their soul given how wrong
we have so often been as a society. that
ultimately allows people to discover the
truth through experimentation, debate,
and being able to talk. Remember,
please, it was a government that made
Socrates drink hemlock for teaching the
youth to question everything. We would
consider that madness. Now, it was the
Catholic Church acting as a governing
body that put Galileo under house arrest
for the rest of his life for saying the
earth revolved around the sun. That was
his crime. Something that we all
recognize is obvious today. The modern
US government told an entire generation
to fear fat and gorge on sugar. And it
was the FDA that approved opioids as
non-addictive, then watched as millions
became addicted, and hundreds of
thousands died. It was the CDC that told
people, "Trust the science, then fired
people who asked to see the data." I
could go on and on for days, but suffice
it to say, the dumb things get pushed on
people all the time. Do we really want
those same people to have total control
over our lives in the form of digital ID
and CBDC's? From where I stand, the
answer is obviously no. That's exactly
what the founders of this country were
trying to get us to understand. Power
corrupts and absolute power corrupts
absolutely. So why hand over even more
power on top of their already
unprecedented authority to spy on us,
cancel us, debank us, and more? We
shouldn't. We should push back. So,
welcome to part three. Freedom is
required for prosperity. According to UN
migration data, more than 100 million
people have immigrated to the United
States since its founding. That's more
than any other nation in recorded
history by a lot. The US is home to
1ifth of all global migrants even though
we hold less than 5% of the world's
total population. If people move, they
basically move to the US. The question
is why? What do we have that other
countries lack? The answer in a word,
freedom.
It's become p to Americans at least that
have grown up here and been slapped
around by government debt and inflation.
But the reality is even despite that
America is the greatest country on earth
as evidenced by the data of where people
move. If people vote with their feet
they've clearly voted for America.
Freedom attracts talent and talent
creates innovation. Americans hold over
45% of all Nobel prizes ever awarded in
science and economics. Again, despite
the fact that we only have 5% of the
world's population. Of the world's 100
largest technology companies, 67 are
headquartered in the United States.
Roughly half of global venture capital
investment flows through US firms. All
10 of the top 10 most valuable brands on
earth were born inside of one system. A
constitutional democracy built on
individual liberty, built on freedom.
Despite being such a small fraction of
the world's population, America
generates roughly 25% of the world's
GDP. Across two and a half centuries,
net migration, invention, and wealth
have followed the same gravitational
pole, freedom. But freedom isn't a vibe
or a throwaway buzzword. It's a system,
a hyperintentional system that the
founding fathers worked tirelessly to
protect from the human tendency to bend
towards tyranny. To avoid that, they
built the land of the free on a set of
rules replete with checks and balances
to ensure that power never
overaccumulated.
To protect those freedoms and ensure
we've got a shot at continuing to be the
beacon to the world, we need to
understand three points. One, for
freedom to work, we must recognize the
individual as sacred. While I'm not
religious, I oversubscribe to the fact
that every person has a spark of the
divine inside of them. We are not drops
of water in an ocean. We are not a herd.
We are not grains of potato in the mash.
We are individual humans with agency and
it is the individual, not merely the
collective, that is sacred and needs to
be preserved. When the collective is
viewed as a single organism, you run the
risk of Ma's China. So what if you have
to starve 45 million people to death to
usher in the utopia, which he did? Small
price to pay, right? For collective
harmony. When the individual is sacred,
none of that flies. The collective is
taken care of by protecting the
individual and their individual rights.
Two, when outcomes are uncertain,
competition beats command control. Let's
be very clear about the nature of
progress. Everyone thinks they have the
answer. But the way we actually make
progress is not by listening to the
people who say, "Trust me," or "Follow
the science." We make progress by trying
things, failing, getting smarter, and
then finally figuring out the right
answer. We'll get back to the show in
just a second, but first, I want to talk
about the billion-dollar industry you're
funding without even knowing it. Most
people do not understand that data
brokers are making millions by
collecting and selling your personal
information. Your address, your phone
number, your email, even your social
security number. Scammers use it for
identity theft. Criminals use it for
financial fraud. Stalkers use it to find
you. And it's all completely legal.
That's where Incogn comes in. They track
down your personal data across hundreds
of data broker sites and remove it
automatically. You create your account,
authorizing Cogni to act on your behalf.
Then they handle everything. Plus, their
custom removals feature lets you send
them any link where your data appears
online. Their team then goes in and
removes it for you. Take back control of
your personal data. Go to
incogn.com/impact
and use code impact for 60% off an
annual plan. Try it risk-f free for 30
days. And now, let's get back to the
show. No one has a monopoly on the
truth. In fact, most of the things we
think are true today will be obviously
wrong to a grade schooler in 50 years.
It's wild how often that's happened
throughout history. Progress is
realizing that no one really knows
what's going on. And therefore, you've
got to let people try thousands of
experiments. People pursuing things most
think are absolutely insane. That's
Silicon Valley secret. Permissionless
trial and error. Delusional, quite
frankly, entrepreneurs who are convinced
they're going to succeed. Most are
wrong. The vast majority fail. Talking
over 90%. But a few ideas actually work
and we all get to benefit from having
let them all try instead of trying to
control it from the top down. America
has institutionalized this process. Low
barriers to entry, strong property
rights, deep capital markets, a culture
that celebrates the builder, the
risktaker. There are rails to be sure,
but the government works best when it
gets the hell out of the way and lets
the builders try to build. That's why
the US produces a wildly outside share
of Nobel prizes, patents, unicorn
companies, and breakthroughs. It's not
because we have the smartest government
officials or brilliant regulations or
digital ID or AI. The government stays
out of the way. We respect individual
freedom. Even China, whose political
system yielded unimaginable amounts of
death in my lifetime, finally had to
imitate capitalism to escape mass
poverty. And the result was pulling
hundreds of millions of people out of
poverty in just four decades. It wasn't
because central planning suddenly
started working. It was because they
stopped central planning long enough to
let the incredible individuals within
their country get to work, run
experiments, try things, and have the
freedom to experiment and be wrong. That
freedom compounds faster than the most
brilliant elites trying to tell everyone
else what to do. Orwell said it the
cleanest. Freedom is the freedom to say
that 2 + 2 makes four. I know that
sounds silly, but as we've covered,
there have been plenty of times in
history when people were literally
killed for saying true things. And the
ability to say things, even things
everyone else thinks is wrong or stupid
or even evil, is exactly what's
necessary if you want the freedom that
brings all of the other prosperity. The
third idea you need to face if you want
freedom to ring is that you can spot the
bad systems by one simple test.
Do they have to stop people from
leaving? The Berlin Wall wasn't built to
keep outsiders from breaking in. It was
built to keep citizens from getting out.
North Korea doesn't have an immigration
problem. Cuba didn't build a flotilla to
chase people away. If a society needs
walls, exit visas, or armed borders to
hold on to its own people, it's
confessing that life is better obviously
somewhere else. Now, I say all of that
to say freedom comes at a cost. And
America has to decide right now if it's
still willing to pay the price for
freedom because digital IDs, CBDC's, and
endless AI surveillance is not freedom.
When being able to spend your own money
or move around depends on the opinions
of bureaucrats, you're no longer free
and you lose all of the prosperity that
freedom brings. If we want prosperity,
we need a culture and legal architecture
that privileges the individual over the
collective, over the system itself, that
gives people the right to be wrong. So
what now? How do we protect the very
thing that made us the greatest nation
on earth? Welcome to part four. How to
resist and ensure this never happens. In
1966, China's cultural revolution
empowered youth guards to police thought
and millions were persecuted and even
killed for disscent. In 1976,
Argentina's military juna launched the
dirty war, disappearing an estimated
30,000 citizens accused of subversion.
In 1989,
the Tienaman Square crackdown killed
hundreds, possibly thousands of peaceful
demonstrators calling for reform. In
2022, Russia's fake news law made it a
crime to call the Ukraine invasion a war
punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Here in the US, the Church Committee
exposed illegal surveillance of our own
citizens, leading to permanent
intelligence oversight in the FISA
court. Governments can and do break bad
all the time. As documented by political
scientist RJ Ruml, in the 20th century
alone, governments killed approximately
million of their own citizens. As I have
discussed many times, including here,
the West has lost sight of its own
values. And as the saying goes, all it
takes for evil to win is for good men to
do nothing. But I'm going to believe
you're not the type who does nothing.
That's why you watch this channel.
You're prepared to stare nakedly at the
realities of the day and take action to
maintain the beautiful, incredible world
that we all see around us. There's no
sense in hand ringing or panicking, but
there is clear sense in taking action.
So, let's get to it. Here are the seven
steps you can take right now to ensure
our government stays on the right track
when it comes to digital IDs. One, speak
up. Use your voice and your vote. Post,
write, communicate, vote in whatever way
suits you, but don't remain silent. See
something, say something. Support
candidates who oppose digital IDs like
real ID. Same with CBDC's. And be sure
to back strong privacy protections. And
for the love of God, defend free speech.
Start by defending the right for people
to say things you hate. Defending things
you agree with is not going to help.
Show up locally. City councils, school
boards, state houses, small rooms often
are the places making the biggest rules.
File comments. When agencies propose
rules, IDE payments, biometrics,
whatever the case, there's often a
public comment window. Use it and tag me
on X, by the way, if you see something
that I might have missed. Submit foyer
record requests. If you like sleuththing
and are the kind of person who filters
by new on Reddit, ask for the memos. Ask
for the info about pilot programs and
things like vendor contracts. A lot of
stuff is hiding in plain sight, but we
all have to ask for it. Two, box in
emergency powers, demand sunset clauses.
Every temporary authority needs an
expiration date and an explicit revote.
Every time there is a crisis, you can
pretty much guarantee it will be used to
gobble up more power and control. Limit
the damage by insisting on sunset
provisions. Support independent
oversight. The government plays fast and
loose with our data and privacy right
now. Push for oversight run by people
who are fish about protecting privacy.
Require public reporting. How many
flags, freezes, and denials are there?
For what reason? publish the numbers
quarterly. I have a feeling we'd be
shocked by the scope of people our own
government takes actions against.
Imagine having this kind of reporting
during CO. Instead, people were covertly
censored and debanked under government
pressure. Three, push back on Real ID
mission creep. Ask Congress for two
actions. One, direct TSA to withdraw
progressive enforcement of Real ID at
airports. Remember, it is already a lie
that you can't fly without Real ID. You
most certainly can, despite what they
tell you. But in the coming years, this
will be enforced more and more unless
they are pressured to stop. Two, repeal
or replace the Real ID Act with a
voluntary privacy preserving standard.
Also remind the government that the
state's rights exist for a reason that
they are enshrined in the constitution
and that a federal ID usurps many of
those rights. Insist on optin no
biometric default to identification
cards and data minimization in any state
identity system. The fourth thing that
you should be doing to ensure that we
fight back against digital IDs and
government scope creep is to draw a
bright line on CBDC's. take a hard
stance. No programmable currency that
can track, score, expire, or geoence
private transactions. Back bills that
prohibit CBDC mandates and preserve good
old paper cash as legal usable tender
for all debts, public and private,
including taxes. Five, build financial
sovereignty. You need to be on multiple
rails here. Keep accounts at more than
one bank or credit union and maintain a
cash buffer for emergencies. Learn about
self-custody. Now, I get it. This one is
tricky, but it's wise to learn how to
hold a portion of savings outside of
traditional banking. Crypto is becoming
more and more mainstream by the day, and
it's decentralized and harder to seize,
so take the time to learn about it.
Automate your resilience. Separate,
spend, save, and sovereign buckets so a
freeze on one of your payment rails does
not leave you without options. Six,
upgrade your digital hygiene. Use
privacy tools like a privacy first
browser, tracker blockers, a password
manager, and hardware 2FA keys. Duck.go
is making a hard push to be this option.
They're worth looking into. Use
encrypted messaging. Default to end
encrypted messaging for sensitive
conversations. Things like Telegram and
WhatsApp are widely used for this
purpose. Engage with biometrics as
little as possible. Most people don't
know this, but you can opt out of the
pictures at the airport. Never hand over
biometrics casually as they will be used
to track and identify you without your
express consent. Seven, define your
values so you're not purely reactionary
in a crisis. I considered leaving this
one out, but the reality is I think a
lot of our problems stem from the fact
that people are reactive instead of
proactive. They steer by feelings and
vibes rather than a predefined set of
values. As religion disappeared, so did
our adherence to prescribed value sets.
That's fine, I guess, as long as we take
the time to redefine our values and
anchor them to something specific. For
me, my value system is anchored around
the inalienable sovereignty of the
individual. All of my thinking cascades
from that premise and the premise that
we're evolved creatures that suffer and
