Republican candidates Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush expressed support for requiring women to register for the Selective Service. During the discussion, Rubio made a factually questionable claim that the U.S. Air Force is currently the smallest it has been in 100 years or "in our history." Bush argued that while a draft is unlikely, women should have the right to serve in combat roles if they meet requirements.

Representative Charles Rangel introduced House Resolution 748, a bill requiring all U.S. citizens between ages 18 and 25 to perform national service. The legislation includes provisions for the registration of women under the Military Selective Service Act and authorizes inductions into the uniformed services during wartime. Critics argue the bill represents a further militarization of the country under the guise of gender equality.

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio's investigative team released a presentation alleging that President Obama's Selective Service registration card is a forgery. The claim centers on a postal stamp from 1980 that allegedly uses a two-digit year format and an inverted "80" stamp, which investigators say deviates from standard post office procedures. The hosts discuss the possibility of "dirty tricks" where fraudulent documents are planted to discredit investigators.
