fisher investments. clearly better money management. if the circumstances were correct, i would certainly agree to that. so i have good feelings about iran. i have good feelings that it will work. charles: president trump saying that he would consider a meeting with iran during the press conference with french president emmanuel macron at the summit so i ll likely as this to happen? former white house press secretary ari fleischer joins me now. already, president trump said things like this in the past so i thought it interesting that it s making it such headlines but it s good news i think in a way, isn t it? may be. i think it all depends on if there are talks and what the pretalks all involved because i don t trust iran. i do trust the trump administration pair no one has brought iran to its knees the
