Dana Perino: I am very SKEPTICAL about how this will end

E. BRONCOS MONDAY NIGHT. >> Dana: COME ON NOW, GARRETT. >>>> President Trump: HOPEFULLY. WE'RE TOWARD THE END OF THE WAR. THEY WANT TO MAKE A DEAL. WE'LL SEE HOW IT WORKS OUT. THEY VERY MUCH WANT TO -- IRAN. IS WANTING TO MAKE A DEAL. WE'LL SEE HOW IT WORKS. WE DEAL DIRECTLY. >> Dana: PRESIDENT TRUMP. EXPRESSING OPTIMISM ABOUT AN END. TO THE IRAN WAR COMING AFTER A. REPORT THE PRESIDENT WILL HOLD. TALKS WITH GULF LEADERS NEXT.

WEEK ON THE SIDELINES OF THE. U.N. GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT TAKES. PLACE IN NEW YORK CITY. BRENT SADLER IS A RESEARCH. FELLOW. "WALL STREET JOURNAL" HEADLINE. IRAN'S ATTEMPTS TO GET AROUND. THE HORMUZ BLOCKADE ARE HITTING. A WALL. IT IS THREATENING IRAN'S. ECONOMY. REASONS TO BE BOTH OPTIMISTIC. BUT ALSO SKEPTICAL HOW IT WILL. END GIVEN THE HOUTHIS. WHEN IT COMES TO THE BLOCKADE.

AND SQUEEZE ON IRAN'S FINANCES. IS THAT WHY YOU WOULD SEE A. REASON TO THINK IT COULD COME TO. AN END SOONER THAN LATER? >> YES. THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON. THE MATH DEFINITELY SUPPORTS A. CONCLUSION OF THIS JUST FROM THE. FISCAL AND MONETARY SIDE OF THIS. BEFORE THE END OF THE E YEAR BU. EARLY AS ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER. THE REASON IS THE NAVAL BLOCKADE. AND OTHER TOOLS OF ECONOMIC. WARFARE SECRETARY BESSENT AND. HEGSETH ARE WAGING AGAINST THE. REGIME. THE CLOCK IS TICKING AT LIMITED. COST TO THE U.S. FOR THE HOUTHIS PART IN THE RED.

SEA THE SHIPPING MARKETS LARGELY. ALREADY ADJUSTED. THE IMPACT WILL BE MODEST, NOT. ZERO. I THINK ALSO THE ENERGY MARKETS. WILL NEVER GO BACK TO WHERE THEY. WERE IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR AND. ALREADY MADE SIGNIFICANT. ADJUSTMENTS. >> Dana: CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE. FACT THAT THE HOUTHIS WANT TO. KEEP THIS GOING AND THEY ARE. BACKED BY IRAN AND CAUSING SAUDI. ARABIA A HUGE AMOUNT OF. HEADACHES. NOW THE PRESIDENT WILL HAVE A. MEETING WITH ALL THE WORLD. LEADERS NEXT WEEK. >> I THINK IT IS TO BE NOTED. THAT THE GCC COUNTRIES, GULF.

NATIONS, ALL HAVE BEEN ATTACKED. BY IRAN. UNIFIED THEM. IN SOME CASES TO TAKE UP ARMS. AGAINST THEIR NEIGHBOR IN IRAN. UNPRECEDENTED BEFORE. SO THAT UNITY IS SOMETHING TO. BUILD ON AND LEVERAGE TO TRY TO. FORCE AND ISOLATE THIS REGIME IN. TEHRAN TO MAKE A DEAL AND. PERHAPS ONE OF THE ITEMS ON THE. LIST. ONE OF THE TOPICS IS WHAT COMES. AFTER THE CONFLICT. >> Dana: LET ME GET TO ANOTHER. TOPIC. DEMOCRATS ARE VERY UNHAPPY. APPARENTLY BECAUSE THE WHITE. HOUSE IS PLANNING A $2.8 BILLION.

BOMB SALE TO ISRAEL. MEEKS SAID THE TRUMP HASN'T. PROVIDED ASSURANCE THAT THEY. WON'T BE USED WITH U.S. LAW. I WILL NOT CLEAR THE SALE AT. THIS TIME. THIS DECISION DOES NOT DIMINISH. CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT FOR. ISRAEL'S LEGITIMATE DEFENSE. NEEDS. HE DOESN'T TRUST THE NETANYAHU. GOVERNMENT BUT SAYING THEY STILL. BACK ISRAEL. >> NOT AWARE OF ANY PRESIDENT HE. COULD POINT TO TO SAY THE.

ISRAELIS HAVE DONE ANYTHING. CONTRARY TO U.S. LAW TO VALIDATE. HIS POINT NOW. BUT THAT BEING SAID THE WEAPONS. BEING GIVEN WOULD BE TO IMPROVE. THE ACCURACY AND FOCUSED. LETHALITY AGAINST THE MILITANTS. IN THESE AREAS. THIS IS NOT WEAPONS NEEDED TO. DEFEND U.S. FORCES IN CONFLICT. IN THE PACIFIC. A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT. DETERRENCE AGAINST CHINA AND. ASIA BEING DEGRADED WITH THE. MASS AMOUNTS OF MUNITIONS USUSE.

SO FAR. >> Dana: REMINDER IF YOU COULD. TELL EVERYBODY THIS IS MONEY AND. WEAPONS THAT ARE BUILT HERE BY. AMERICANS? >> YES. SOME OF IT ALSO COULD BE THE. MOVEMENT OF MUNITIONS BEING. STORED OVERSEAS AS WELL. THOSE DETAILS ARE HARDER TO GET. IT. THE SIZE AND DOLLAR VALUE GIVES. YOU A SCALE. 20,000 IMPROVED PENETRATING. BOMBS AND 40,000 OF THE GENERAL. PURPOSE BOMBS. THESE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS. THAT YOU WOULD USE TO TAKE OUT.
