President Trump updates the nation on the war in Iran. The Artemis crew officially travels farther into space than any humans in history, and Trump endorses his pick for the California governor's race. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley. It's Monday, April 6th, and this is Evening Wire.

President Trump held a press conference today in which he and key leaders of the military
