What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Permission winding down. I'm Sue Guzman, Fox News. President Trump says the conflict in Iran will continue, but he's vowing it won't go on much longer. Here's Fox's Grinnell Scott.
President Trump said because of American and Israeli military power, Iran's navy is gone and airstrikes have been annihilating their defense industrial base. But the president told the nation Wednesday night the job isn't quite complete. So for now, the offensive will continue.
We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.
What recent developments have occurred in the Iran conflict?
We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong.
The president said talks toward a ceasefire or even an end to the war continue. But Iran has disputed those discussions have come as far as the president has said. Grinnell Scott, Fox News.
Meanwhile, 35 countries are set to meet Thursday to discuss ways of reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The vital shipping route has been shut to most traffic since the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran began. NASA launching its first mission to the moon in over half a century. The 32-story rocket blasting off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Here's Fox's Brandi Campbell.
It's official. NASA has sent four astronauts into space on a 10-day journey with the goal of taking a test ride around the moon as part of the Artemis II mission. After some minor weather concerns and a couple of issues that were addressed in the last couple of hours of the countdown, the rocket... finally made that rumble, taking off at 6.35 p.m. from Launch Complex 39B. NASA said this will help test the systems and hardware needed to continue sending astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the moon for scientific discovery. If everything goes as scheduled, the crew will splash down off the coast of San Diego on April 10th.

The Supreme Court is considering the case surrounding President Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship.
Justices on the Supreme Court had tough questions for both sides in oral arguments over President Trump's push to ban automatic citizenship for children born on U.S. soil. Arguing for the plaintiffs, ACLU attorney Cecilia Wong condemned the executive order.
Swaths of American laws would be rendered senseless. Thousands of American babies will immediately lose their citizenship. And if you credit the government's theory, the citizenship of millions of Americans, past, present, and future, could be called into question.
The government's lawyer urged the court to, quote, correct long-enduring misconceptions of the 14th Amendment's meaning. Trump attended the arguments, becoming the first sitting president to do so. Tanya J. Powers, Fox News.
Republicans in the House and Senate reaching an agreement on funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Fox's Bill Malusian's at the Capitol with the details.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are now on the same page, announcing a Trump-approved plan to pass a bill that would fund all of DHS except ICE and CBP. It's similar to the bill the Senate passed with Democratic support at 2 a.m. last Friday. Hours later, Speaker Johnson trashed that Senate bill. But now, with President Trump's approval, Thune and Johnson say that Senate-passed bill is the path forward, and Democrats are claiming victory. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer writing on X, quote, House Republicans caved. They've agreed to pass the Senate bill to fund DHS except for ICE and CBP that unanimously passed a week ago.
This is the longest DHS shutdown in history. President Trump said in a Truth Social post that he wants the bill on his desk by June 1st. And the United States has lifted sanctions against Venezuela's acting president, Delce Rodriguez, Wednesday.
