00:00In the first and only vice-presidential debate between Governor Tim Walz and Senator J.D.

00:05Vance, both men asked if they would support a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran, after

00:10Iran launched the largest-ever ballistic missile attack on Israel yesterday.

00:14Look, it is up to Israel what they think they need to do to keep their country safe, and

00:19we should support our allies wherever they are when they're fighting the bad guys.

00:23Israel's ability to be able to defend itself is absolutely fundamental.

00:27Getting its hostages back, fundamental, and ending the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

00:34On abortion rights, Walz accusing the Trump campaign of planning to create a registry

00:39of pregnancies.

00:41It's going to make it more difficult, if not impossible, to get contraception and limit

00:46access, if not eliminate access to infertility treatments.

00:49Senator, do you want to respond to the governor's claim?

00:51Will you create a federal pregnancy monitoring agency?

00:54No, no, certainly we won't.

00:57On the issue of immigration, Vance pressed on Trump's plan for mass deportations.

01:02I had a mother who struggled with opioid addiction and has gotten clean.

01:05I don't want people who are struggling with addiction to be deprived of their second chance

01:10because Kamala Harris let in fentanyl into our communities at record levels.

01:14So you've got to stop the bleeding.

01:17Look, we fixed this issue with a bill that is necessary, but the issue on this is, this

01:22is what happens when you don't want to solve it.

01:24You demonize it.

01:25The candidate sparring over the results of the 2020 election.

01:28I would just ask that, did he lose the 2020 election?

01:31Tim, I'm focused on the future.

01:33Did Kamala Harris censor Americans from speaking their mind in the wake of the 2020 COVID situation?

01:40That is a damning non-answer.

01:43It's a damning non-answer for you to not talk about censorship.

01:47Walz was asked to clarify his claim that he was at Tiananmen Square during the deadly

01:51protests in 1989 when he was actually there months later.

01:55Walz says he misspoke, saying he's a knucklehead at times.
