Good Morning! On this day in 1918, America entered daylight saving time for the first time. Known then as "fast time," it was a wartime measure during World War I and lasted until the war's end, not to return as a nationwide measure until World War II.

Yesterday, we asked you in the Poll what you'd steal 12 tons of, and the write-in answers stole the show. Gold and $100 bills won in a landslide, leaving chocolate and steak in the dust. A few of you kept it classy, though, writing in with good wine, champagne, ice cream, and books. We see the priorities, and we respect them.

🚙 Are Baby Boomers the safest drivers or the most dangerous? Which generation has the highest crash fatality rate? And who are the fastest drivers? In today's Flyover Podcast, Ayla Brown breaks down a new report ranking drivers from baby boomers to Gen X to millennials and Gen Z. But where did your generation end up on the list? Tune in to find out!

Trump Threatens to Destroy Iran's Infrastructure

President Trump warned Monday that if a deal isn't reached shortly and the Strait of Hormuz isn't reopened, the U.S. will destroy all of Iran's power plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island, infrastructure he said the military has "purposefully not yet touched."

Hundreds of Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, and other special operations forces have quietly arrived in the Middle East, joining thousands of Marines and 82nd Airborne paratroopers, giving the president military options, including ground raids on Iranian territory.

Trump said his "preference" would be to take Iran's oil, and separately confirmed the U.S. is negotiating with Iran's parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, a former Revolutionary Guard commander who has denied any talks are taking place.

First Moonshot in 53 Years Set for Wednesday

NASA's Artemis II mission is set to launch Wednesday at 6:24 p.m. ET, sending four astronauts on a nine-day trip around the moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. Forecasters give an 80% chance of favorable weather.

Commander Reid Wiseman, a widower and father of two teenagers, is leading the crew alongside pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. Meet the crew here.

The mission will carry the crew roughly 4,700 miles past the far side of the moon, farther than any human has ever traveled, with portions of the lunar surface never seen by human eyes firsthand visible from the capsule windows.

Riding along is a plush mascot named Rise, designed by a second-grader in California and chosen from 2,600 entries across 50 countries, inspired by Apollo 8's famous Earthrise photograph. See the mascot here.

Thieves Steal Art Masterpieces in 3 Minutes

A gang of thieves stole paintings by Renoir, Cezanne, and Matisse, worth an estimated $10 million, from a private museum near Parma, Italy, last week, completing the heist in under 3 minutes.

The thieves used crowbars to pry open an entrance to the Magnani Rocca Foundation, went straight to a room dedicated to French artists, and grabbed three specific works before fleeing through the museum gardens. See three paintings here.

They left behind a fourth painting they had pulled from the wall, apparently too slow to carry it out before the alarm brought security. The museum called the raid well-organized, not impromptu.

The heist is the latest in a string of brazen European museum thefts, following a $101 million jewel robbery at the Louvre in Paris last October.
