Tonight, President Trump demands Iran's unconditional surrender as airstrikes from the U.S. and Israel continue.

What's next as Trump's shifting messages to signal a longer war?

Then money power politics, oil prices surge, and stocks fall after a tough dogs report, what it all means for the broader economy.

Plus, what we are learning from new reporting about a secret DEA investigation into Jeffrey

Epstein and his associates as the 11th hour gets underway on this Friday night.

Good evening once again. I am Stephanie Ruhl, and right now, we're about two hours away from the one-week mark on Donald Trump's war on Iran.

The conflict has spread across more than a dozen countries in the Middle East, as the world wonders where this is all headed.

Before we get into the war itself,

it is worth pointing out that it is not helping our fragile economy. Today we saw an awful jobs report. Prices are still high, and now because of the war in the Middle East, gas prices

are shooting up, and global shipping is now in question. We're going to get into all of that

in money power politics,

but I wanna start tonight with Donald Trump himself.

Today, he demanded an unconditional surrender from Iran.

He also said that along with our allies,

the US will help to rebuild Iran,

making it economically bigger, better,

and stronger than ever before.

He ended the social media post with Make Iran Great Again.

Just hours later, he hosted defense contractors at the White House to get them to increase production.

Afterwards, Trump said the companies agreed to quadruple the production of weaponry,

but he also claimed that the expansion started three months ago.

Hmm. Meanwhile, it sounds like Russia, and this matters, turn up the volume.
