| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's bell again. |
| 0:05.0 | So today, we're going to talk about the automatic draft registration and the funny part. |
| 0:13.0 | Okay, so starting in December, selective service registration will be automatic. |
| 0:20.0 | Men ages 18 to 26 were already required to register for selective service, in case the government wants to send the youth off to some foreign land, and the reasoning is so shaky, they can't get volunteers. Now, because of the National Defense Authorization Act, which President |
| 0:40.6 | Donald Trump signed into law in December, there will be automatic registration for males in the |
| 0:47.0 | U.S. Yes, the man who famously obtained multiple deferments to avoid military service, signed a law furthering |
| 0:56.6 | a draft for the commoners. I know a lot of media is saying that it will only apply to U.S. citizens, |
| 1:04.5 | but that doesn't appear to be the case. The Selective Service flyer says, quote, |
| 1:10.0 | With only a few exceptions, the registration requirement applies to all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants residing in the United States, who are 18 through 25 years of age. |
| 1:26.1 | This includes asylum seekers, green card holders, refugees, and undocumented men. |
| 1:33.8 | Yep. The undocumented men, Trump says, are such a danger, will be trained and armed if the U.S. |

| 1:47.3 | definitely need to be taken seriously about this massive change. But before you start falling down |
| 1:53.9 | rabbit holes, maybe foxholes would be more appropriate for this and getting deep into a doom spiral. |
| 2:01.6 | It's worth noting that automatic registration already kind of existed in the overwhelming |
| 2:07.6 | majority of states. In most states, the registration process is started when you get a driver's |
| 2:14.6 | license or ID at the DMV. The automatic registration |
| 2:19.9 | itself isn't a sign of anything. Trump's ill-planned objectiveless wars might cause a |
| 2:26.4 | draft, but the automatic registration doesn't mean they're about to start calling |
| 2:31.9 | people up. It's really kind of a non-story. |
| 2:36.0 | And remember, your strongest ally and not being drafted is the Department of Defense. |
| 2:43.0 | They literally don't want you. |
