And a short time ago, democratic governor Tim Walz of minnesota and republican senator Jj Vance faced off for the first and only Vice President ial debate this cycle. The debate might have seemed normal. But almost nothing was normal. Vance lied about issues like abortion, Health Care, immigration. And try today rewrite history. But arguably, the biggest moment of the night, Jd Vance is on that stage because Mike Pence had the audacity to certify the election results. Here is what Jd Vance said when he was pressed tonight about trumps long running election lies.

Retired Army Colonel Jack jacobs as well. I want to bring with nbcs white House Correspondent Monica alba with us by phone. You have this breaking news reporting. What have you learned about this potential iranian attack against israel . Well, ana, this is coming from a senior white House Official and a department of Defense Official who confirmed to myself and to our Pentagon Correspondent Courtney Kube this indication that the united states has, which is typically a reflection of Intelligence And Information that they have gleaned from other countries, who would potentially be affected by this, that iran is indeed preparing to launch that ballistic Missile Attack against israel.
