On today's show, President Trump used a prime-time address to the nation to say that the war in Iran is "very close" to completion. But in the same speech, he also said the US would hit Iran "extremely hard" over the next two or three weeks. Oil jumped, while stocks and bonds fell as hopes for a quick end to the war faded.
NASA is on an historic mission to return to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years, with the successful launch of Artemis II. Four astronauts are on a 10-day mission to go around the moon and back, traveling further into space than anyone has gone before.
And Bloomberg understands that Estée Lauder and Puig are furthering talks to combine, putting the two family-owned companies on track to create one of the world's largest luxury beauty players.
