MARQUETTE LAW SCHOOL POLE 75% OF. AMERICANS SAY THEY DON'T BELIEVE. THE COST OF THIS WORK SO FAR. IT'S BEEN WORTH IT. FOX NEWS AND POLLING SHOWING 73%. OF AMERICANS THINK THEY GET A. BAD DEAL OR NO DEAL. SENATOR BILL HAGERTY FROM. FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE ON. FOX ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE. NUMBERS. >> I THINK THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.

I THINK WE ARE VERY CLOSE. >> A CONGRESSMAN TODAY ON FOX. ARGUES THE FALL OUT FOR THIS. CONFLICT WILL STRETCH ALONG INTO. FUTURE ADMINISTRATIONS. >> MR. TRUMP YOU'RE THE FIRST.

FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ARE IN THIS. CONFLICT WITH IRAN FOR THE THIRD. QUARTER, FOURTH QUARTER HERE'S. VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE. >> WE ARE JUST GOING TO KEEP ON. APPLYING THE PRESSURE THAT WE. CAN APPLY. GETTING AS MUCH OIL AND GAS OUT. OF THE MIDDLE EAST SO AMERICANS. CAN ENJOY LOWER GAS AND ENERGY. PRICES WERE THAT THE DELICATE. DANCE OF HER TRYING TO REMIND.

PEOPLE WE ARE REALLY IN THE. MIDDLE OF THE GAME HERE. THIS THING IS NOT OVERPAID. INSOLVENCY NOT AT THE BEGINNING. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME. AND WE ARE PLYING A WHOLE HOST. OF TOOLS DIPLOMATIC, ECONOMIC, MILITARY TOOLS TO ENSURE WE GET. THE BEST OUTCOME FOR THE. AMERICAN PEOPLE. I FEEL QUITE CONFIDENT WE WILL. GET THERE BUT WE ARE STILL A BIT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME. >> MIDDLE OF THE GAME. WHERE ARE WE IN THIS CONFLICT IN. YOUR VIEW? >> I AGREE WITH THAT. REMEMBER IT'S THE U.S. NAVY AND.

THE REST OF THE JOINT FORCE. THAT'S IN CONTROL THERE. THE BLOCKADE THIS GONE BACK ON. IS REALLY SQUEEZING IRAN. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE LIST OF. OUTRAGEOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE. DEMANDS THE FACT IS THAT U.S. NAVY CAN KEEP UP THE BLOCKADE AS. LONG AS NECESSARY TO AIRCRAFT. CARRIERS ALL KINDS OF LAND-BASED. AIR THIS IS THE SQUEEZE THAT'S. GOING TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. >> DOES THAT MEAN THE REGIME. WILL SEEK A DEAL OR THE UNITED. STATES MILITARY GOING TO HAVE TO.

FORCE A DEAL? >> I THINK THERE IS NO QUESTION. WE HAVE TO MILITARY OPTIONS. READY TO GO. BUT THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS HAVE. SHOWN US IRAN CANNOT TAKE THE. SQUEEZE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO. SELL OIL THEIR PRIMARY TERMINAL. WE ALL KNOW SO WELL 90% OF THEIR. OIL IS BASICALLY DARK AT THIS. POINT THEY HAD BEEN SHIPPING OUT. MOSTLY TO CHINA. UNABLE TO DO THAT. IT IS THIS PRESSURE OF THE. BLOCKADE THAT HAS BEEN THE.

SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE DIPLOMATIC. MEASURE. >> WHEN THE REGIME TALKS TOUGH, IS THAT FOR DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION. FOR THE IRANIAN PEOPLE? IS THAT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN A TOUGH. NEIGHBORHOOD. >> IT IS FOR EVERYBODY BUT I AM. TELLING YOU I DO NOT WANT TO. HEAR MORE TOUGH TALK FROM IRAN. IGNORE THEIR TWITTER MESSAGES. BUT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON AT. THIS POINT IS ALL OF THAT. NEIGHBORHOOD THE GULF STATES. HAVE TURNED AGAINST THEM.

THE MEGA PACK THREE REGIONAL. POWERS REALLY SHOWS THAT. DO NOT FORGET IRAN IS BASICALLY. A PROXY OF CHINA. THEY ARE AN ALLY OF RUSSIA THIS. IS A CONFLICT WITH GEOPOLITICAL. STAKES. IN THE END WE'VE GOT TO HAVE. NAVIGATION WE'VE GOING TO GET. THAT. THE QUESTION ABOUT WEAKENING THE. IRGC THAT AS WE MUST KEEP. MILITARY PRESSURE IN PLACE TO DO. THAT IF NECESSARY. >> HOW CHALLENGING IS IT FOR THE. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO KEEP OUR.

ALLIES SCHOOL WHEN THE EYE. IRANIANS ARE FIRING AT THEM IN. THEIR INTEREST? >> WE HAVE SEEN SOME REALLY, REALLY PERPLEXING STRIKES BUT WE. HAVE SEEN STRIKES ON EVERYTHING. FROM NEARLY 2000 DRONES AND. MISSILES THAT WENT OVER THE UAE. DATA CENTERS OWNED BY COMPANIES. LIKE AMAZON HIT AND THE REASON. WE'D SEEN TANKERS AND OTHER SHIP. SELECTED. I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU THINK THE. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS DONE A. GREAT JOB OF KEEPING THE GOLF. PARTNERS TOGETHER THIS IS A BIG. REVERSAL IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

THROUGH DO NOT FORGET PRESIDENT. TRUMP WAS TO COME OUT OF THIS. WITH MOMENTUM TOWARDS THE. ABRAHAM ACCORDS AND A SITUATION. WHERE IRAN CANNOT BE A DANGER IN. CHINA CANNOT SNEAK INTO DOMINATE. THAT REGION PRINT THAT'S WHY. WE'VE GOT TO HAVE THE PATIENCE. TO SEE THIS THROUGH. MIKE: DO WE WORRY ABOUT OUR. BROUGHT BROADER CONFLICT IF SEEN. FIGHTING AND OTHER PLACES WHAT. ABOUT THAT COULD IT SPREAD? >> WE HAVE SEEN THAT CODY STREIT. TO GET IN BUT THEY ARE A SIDE. SHOW AT THIS POINT. WE HAVE SO MUCH AIR IN SEAT. DOMINANCE WITH OUR GOLF PARTNERS.

AT THIS POINT THE MILITARY HAS. TAKEN UP MORE OF THEIR POWER. CAPABILITY IT'S A MATTER OF. FINDING THE WAIT TO GET IT SAFE. AND UPPER INTERNATIONAL MARITIME. TRAFFIC TO RESUME TO FLOW. THROUGH. THAT'S NOT HAVING BEEN. THREATENED THAT REGION THIS IS.

WHY WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THAT IN. PLACE BUT WE'VE GOT 50000 U.S. SERVICE MEMBER STATION THEY ARE. STILL CARRYING OUT OBJECTIVE. >> WE SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE. SCREEN 86 DAYS UNTIL THE. MIDTERMS. DOES YOUR GUT TELL YOU THIS WILL. GO-AND BEFORE THE MIDTERMS AFTER. THE MIDTERMS, AND OF THE YEAR? YOU HAVE A GUT INSTINCT? >> SO IT TOUGH TO SAY BECAUSE. IRAN IS SO IRRATIONAL I SEE AN.

INTERIM AGREEMENT HERE. THERE ARE GLIMMERS OF PROGRESS. IN THE IRAN TALKS IT IS AUMONT. AND IRAN WHOEVER RUN THAT. WATERWAY FOR A LONG TIME. OMAN KEEPS ALL THE TRAFFIC IN. THE RADAR FLOWS FROM THERE. THEY ARE GLIMMERS THERE. I THINK WE WILL SEE A RESOLUTION. OF SOME SORT AND AN UPTICK IN. TRAFFIC WITHIN A MUCH SHORTER. PERIOD.
