>> tucker: good night from washington. "the five" starts now. >> kimberly: hello, everyone. i am kimberly guilfoyle here with greg gutfeld, jesse watters, juan williams, and dana perino. it is 9:00 in new york city, and this is "the five." tonight, the left is going wild over a new report about a meeting between the president's eldest son, donald trump, jr., and a russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign. >> thisum is everything people have been looking for.wy this is not only a devastating narrative, it is potentially incriminating. >> we will find not only there was collusion but money laundering.e a lot more is going to be unveiled. as i have always said, trump and his allies are going to lead

right to impeachment. >> we would have the both of them in custody by now. we will be asking a lot of questions. this is c unacceptable. it borderssk on treason. >> kimberly: don jr. has acknowledged he and other trump team members met with a russian attorney. it ultimately resulted inn nothing and went nowhere. here is brit hume. >> this was much ado about not much. this meeting was apparently a fiasco. donald trump met with this person -- donald trump, jr., it's one more case we have evidence of -- a contact of some kind connected to russia. but no evidence of collusion. >> kimberly: greg, dote you agree with mr. hume? >> greg: i would hate>> to disagree with him, since we are such close friends. if a shady female from a nefarious country approached bill clinton, he would take the

dirt and possibly her underwear. this is nothing new. doesn't anybody watch "the americans"? this t stuff happens. all donald trump jr. did was exactly what the media has been doing for the last six months. he was promised dirt on collusion between hillary and russia. he just went to check it out.. that's what the press has been doing with trump for the last six or seven months. the only difference is, he saw it was bogus and checked out pretty early. meanwhile, the networks are continuing to feed off this roadkill forever. >> kimberly: they are doing the russia aha! again. what do you make of this story? >> dana: there's an old adage in journalism saying don't get ahead of the reporting. i would get ahead of their reporting. they got surprised by this. there have been different

explanations as to how it all went down. theyt finally got to the one tht makes most sense. it doesn't prove any collusion but it also doesn't look good. i would not want to get a big lawyer to try to defend me. there were three people in the meeting. manafort, jared kushner ande trump jr. none of them happen to remember this until it was presented by thed press? it was two days after president trump had secured the nomination. they were so worried about what might happen at the convention. i understand why they make the pivot. like now we will have to go after hillary clinton. if you get asked to have a meeting with somebody and you don't know their name, the most important thing you can do is -- who is this person and what do they really want? she wanted to talk about russian adoptions in america. that's a good issue. i hope the administration addresses it, but there's a judgment call to me. is it worth me having this

meeting and asking the campaign manager and brother-in-law to have a meeting? you have a judgment call on that, and also always bring a lawyer to these meetings. always. that way, you protect yourself and others and you don't have to have a kerfuffle. i would say the white house -- i'm sure that they wish from a communication standpoint they could get ahead of this story so they can stop having every with it.art >> kimberly: i'm sure the president is getting pretty frustrated because the communications team is behind they: eight ball. he's got to be personally very upseting, his son very active during the campaign -- who was looking out for him, his family, to make sure -- in a position like this? that being said, do you think there's anything here? >> jesse: i don't. i think if trump jr. puts russian dressing on a salad, they will say it's treason.

some lawyer came over and wanted to set m up a meeting. it was under the pretext of dirt on hillary. she didn't have it. and they said "all right, later." it was set up by a democratic firm connected to the russian dossier. that t could be a set up. we don't even know that. jared and paul manafort did volunteer thist. contact. when they were asked about it, it was volunteered. i will tell you some other things, you know what else is more sketchy? hillary accepting and soliciting million dollar checks from saudi tycoons. and bill clinton being paid half a million dollars by the kremlin bank at the same time hillary's state department is allowing uranium deposits to be pushed over to the russians. or how about john podesta sitting on the same board as a bunch of other putin friends? taking in millions of dollars, russian investment and not disclosing it.

there's a lot of risky things. what about the dnc server? that still has not been turned over to federal investigators. we are supposed to believe it was hacked by the russians? okay, prove it. claire mccaskill. comrade claire, they call her. she never met with the russian ambassador. it turned out she had dinner at his house, called him on the phone and donated to his charity. we need to pump the brakes a little bit on the story. i would reopen the hillary clinton email investigation and i would do it tomorrow. >> kimberly: bottom line is, where's the wrongdoing and crime? or the inappropriate contact? >> juan: if you are asking me, i think it's so obvious. that's why jesse is running like a sprinter, trying to get away from this story. [laughter] >> jesse: i'm getting ahead of the story. >> dana: taking my advice. >> juan: the problem is lack of disclosure up front. if don jr. had been upfront about it, if he was first asked about it, he said "no, no such

meeting." it wasn't until people who are in the white house -- that's an interesting part of the story. this story comes from people in the white house who saw some of these disclosure forms and then said to reporters, guess what, don, jr., was involved. it's coming from inside the trump white house? that's weird. you have someone like paul manafort, the campaign chairman, taking time to go into this meeting. richard painter, the lawyer for the bush folks said, you don't get your oppositionh research from spie. that's nuts. it's clearly tied into putin. she is clearly tied into -- >>sh kimberly: no, they said we don't know her. they can't keep track of all the lawyers. >> juan: they said this was set up by somebody involved in a beauty pageant. she is a close friendp with the putin family. it gets so bizarre. nothing is to be proven by this.

but the lack of forthcoming, gestures not only by don jr. but by others -- >> jesse: don jr. doesn't have to disclose anything. it came out because of leaks. kushner and manafort voluntarily disclosed the meeting. people asked trump jr. about it but who's leaking? >> juan: apparently the trump white house. you are wrong. it's not. it's inside the white house. that isis what must be disturbig you and causing you to run. >> greg: anyone who works in russia is kremlin-linked. because it's essentially state-owned. the businesses are state owned.n my wife's father was a diplomat. that makes me kremlin-linked. >> kimberly: i knew it. i knew it. >> jesse: i can't be at this table.

>> greg: the media and the democrats are litigating a bad relationship.. a past bad relationship. it's like you got dumped but you've got to keep talking about your ex. seven, eight months later. any small thing that happens, every beginning of the week, you trace back to your ex. it's always about trump, trump, trump. there is a fly in my soup. oh, my ex used to drink soup. >> jesse: there is a big kushner story that was u front-page news.in i don't even remember what it is anymore. [laughter] >> jesse: do you remember? >> kimberly: when you think about it, go back to the campaign -- it's all well documented that hillary had a history of accepting money, chinese donations, saudi donations, corruption with the clinton foundation. when you hear okay, i have evidence about this and you are running a campaign, you want to hearr the evidence. in terms of that, what is their wrong with actually finding out information about who you are running against?

juan's problem is that he didn't disclose it. jared did and paul manafort did disclose that. then it was leaked from there. are we going to still talk aboue this? i don't know where this goes. i want to see where the legal tail is. >> juan: i don't know either. i don't think this is conclusive. when youhi see the president's inner circle taking a meetingng with somebody and by their own admission -- at least don jr.'s admission, we don't know who this person was. they know it's a russian. this person says they have opposition research. that's pretty damning. >> jesse: there's nothing illegal about having a meeting with a russian. you know who said that? jack quinn. bill clinton's white house lawyer. >> juan: the russians are playing the trump campaign, trying to give them information. orchestrating an effort -- >> jesse: there wasn't anything to give.

they had nothing. >> juan: they are now interfering with an american election. that is not only wrong -- j >> jesse: well, the saudis gave $5 million to hillary and expected nothing in return? why did all the foundation donations dry up when she lost? >> juan: that has nothing to do with what we are discussing tonight. you trying to run away from a difficult -- >> kimberly: i have an excellent communication question for dana perino. we talked about the communications team in the beginning of this segment -- so long ago -- what do they have to do now to try to think -- >> dana: i don't think it's their fault. when i say they need to get ahead of the story, that means somebody in the white house, i think it has to come from the president or chief of m staff, that says, "everybody in my office, now." lay it all on the table. i want to hear it also these

people know what they are getting into. i'm curious. i'm not going to go chase it down but i'm curious about the sourcing. it's three advisors to the whitee house. it doesn't mean they are inside the white house. they could be outside the white house. >> greg: it could be tripadvisor. > dana: [laughs] i think there is a whole bunch of reasons these type of coordinated leaks happen. three advisors to the white house. to me, that sounds like they coordinated. it is possibly because they know something worse or maybe something will look worse and maybe it isn't. it's really interesting. i think they have tried to protect the president. rsarah huckabee sanders said se only found out about this within the last day or so. >> jesse: what do you mean by something worse is going to happen? >> dana:it i don't know. >> jesse: why would they leak to -- >> dana: if a reporter calls me and says "hey, i've got this story coming up."

you to see and say, "did hear about this? okay, let me get back to you." that's when all of my alarm bells go off and i think "holy you know what." something elseyo is coming. i don't know. i think the sourcing is really interesting.in they were trying to protect somebody to make him look worse or try to get out in frontro of something or they are just out to get him. >> kimberly: yeah, maybe it's are revenge thing. >> dana: that, to me, doesn't mean deep state. >> kimberly: no. >> juan: it's not congress, jesse. it's not congress. >> kimberly: all right, that was interesting. dana will not chase that down -- some breaking news next for you, a u.s. soldier arrested for an alleged connection to isis. all of that, straight ahead. all of that, straight

has been charged with alleged ties to isis. sergeant first class ikaika kang was arrested late saturday night at schofield barracks for providing material support to the islamic state of iraq and syria. he is 34 years old and one of the only active-duty troops to be charged with ties to a terror group in recent memory. according to kang's army record, he served in iraq, afghanistan, and korea as an air traffic control operator with the 25th combat aviation brigade. fbi special agent in charge paul delacourt issued the following statement tonight... "kang has been under investigation by the fbi for over a year.ll fbi assets and investigative resources were continuously deployed to ensure the public safety of this investigation and kang's eventual arrest." a criminal complaint is being

filed in the district court of hawaii, alleging that kang swore allegiance to isis and to provide training to the terroristan organization. and military documents. the fbi believes that kang was a lone actor. w >> dana: we have to congratulate the military and fbi for their intelligence operations in being able to track him for a year and stop him before he was able to do anything. >> y kimberly: absolutely. that's the headline here. this is the intelligence community doing the very best it can to identify, isolate, to do an investigation. what i think is very important is i'm certain that they were able to accumulate a large amount ofmu information, to be able to see who his contacts are, who he's been communicating with, which is very important, in terms of fresh intelligence coming in. being able to identify others who might want to do us harm and collaborate with the enemy.

>> dana: greg, one of the things that isis wants more than anything is to turn a u.s. military person. today you see the good guys in mosul and in afghanistan. increased engagement. i think it's so important to keep them on the run and on their toes. they don't have time to plan like this. >> greg: he worked in air traffic control. it's a big arrest. what could he have done in his job? thankfully, we won't know what he could have done. it's interesting to see what slips somebody. this guy was decorated, from what i can tell. to give up everything for a holy war? it promises you an express pass toth heaven. despite your sins. which is very attractive if you're looking for salvation. it makes things easier for a shamed man. i think this is why the ideology is so attractive and pernicious. christianity -- most religions -- tie redemption to peaceful means. to becoming a better person. we are dealing with a doctrine

where redemption is tied to martyrdom. to get to heaven, you have to take out a lot of people. that's what's creating a murderous death cult. when you find someone like this -- they are a time bomb. you've got to pull them off. >> dana: i it's interesting, jesse, about how they tracked him down. he bought a drone. he was on his way. >> jesse: the drone was to defeat u.s. tank formation strategies. if you can see where the tanks are, you can escape easier. the eye in the sky. air traffic control, that's dangerous. i can't imagine what he could have done or allowed to have happen on our soil.t' i would like to applaud the s.w.a.t. team, the u.s. army and the fbi investigators. this didn't become a fort hood situation. i say "the fbi did this, did that," you disparage them when it comes to the hillary or comey thing. the rank-and-file are out there

every day trying to protect innocent civilians from radical islamer. i also want to say another thing.g. people on the left are throwing around the word "traitor" a little too casually when they talk about someone like donald trump or his son. this guy is a traitor. this guy is. who is trying to help isis kill americans. not anybody in the white house. let's get that straight. >> dana: your thoughts on this, juan? >> juan: you have somebody here who is an activeht combat soldier for the united states of america.is he was in korea, afghanistan, iraq. ofy say he was guilty trying to transfer materials. i don't know what exactly that means. i don't know what materials. >> dana: photographs probably. >> juan: i don't know if it's intel beyond that, but you would think it would have had to do with maybe information about patterns of u.s. aircraft coming and going that could allow for attack. but what i'm really fascinated

by is his active duty -- thise is the first time this hs happened. we've had reality winner. she was in intel, but she was a consultant who had left the air force when she was trying to get information. ofat course, before that we had bradley manning. he was in the military. but nott active-duty. >> greg: fort hood is the closest to this example. somebody that was in the military and killed over a dozen -- >> juan: this guy was out on the front lines of combat, greg. he had the opportunity to be involved in ongoing operations where our people are immediately at stake. to me, that is particularly threatening. >> greg: the fort hood guy wass in a hospital where there was no guns. and he killed them all. >> kimberly: this is a very valuable lesson. an important tool in the fight againstt terror. we'll catch you, there will be repercussions.

>> greg: last week, donald trump gave a great speech about civilization in poland. almost as great as my haircut.gr here's a taste. >> the west will never, ever be broken. our values will prevail. our people will thrive and our civilization will triumph. >> greg: not bad, but guess how the press saw it? >> this is not a speech you could have given anywhere else. this was a "white america first" speech. he's offering a very stark view

about migration, immigration. other things. >> greg: it was in poland. he wasn't the only one whoi saw it this t way, "the washington post" agreed.. how dare we applaud centuries of progress? that must be racist. how predictable, suicidal. conflict between ideologies, one that champions freedom and one that seeks to limited. who does the media always side with? never us. they have identity politics rabies. infected by the oppressor versus the oppressed lies that spew from every campus classroom. since the west is always the oppressor, it must always pay. with such logic, reagan's "tear down this wall" was racist as well. so was jfk's "ich bin ein berliner" speech. trump's speech was persuasive, which is why the press ignored it. preferring to lather up an australian news man and his

anti-trumpet emotions. >> the president of the united states has a particular skill set and he has identified an illness in western democracy but he has no cure for it. and he is intent on exploiting it. i think we will miss it when onit's gone. that's the biggest threat to the values of the west, which he claims to hold so dear. >> greg: trump is the biggest threat to the west? someone is auditioning for cnn. all at the altar of tolerance, before a doctrine that wishes not to coexist but to command. with no solution for national security, the media has already surrendered as they've labeled those who speak out as racist. they are fellow travelers on the road to ruin, bent on silencing the canaries in the coal mines. so it's your choice. you canin give donald trump a chance or you can mimic the media and follow europe off the plank. so, juan, the defense of a democratic system that believes in freedom for all,

white f supremacy? >> juan: i don't know about white supremacy. i would say this, the speech was very nationalistic. i don't think when s i conceive of freedom, dignity, and rights, i don't see that as any one nation. i could go on about everything --e >> greg: do you think it's under threat? western values and western civilization? >> juan: no. this is interesting because trump has a very dark vision. he communicated effectively. >> greg: what you mean? >> juan: things are going down, things are hellish, things are going to hell in a hand basket. this is trump's vision. it's conveyed in this speech, that he's up against the invading horde. i don't think people reacted well to it. >> kimberly: i think he was widely celebrated. even bob dole wrote a great letter saying it was a great speech and one for the ages.

talked about individual freedoms and liberties and rights for women in all kinds of things in this speech that were very widely accepted and it wasn't nationalistic. it was something everyone could relate to that anybody would want for people in their own country. >> juan: i think lots of people heard it differently. before the women's rights movement, before gay rights -- before civil rights. >> jesse: juan, what are you talking about? did you read the speech? i think they are talking about a completely different speech. i was angry when i saw this story. i compareded what trump said in his polish address to what president obama had said when he was in poland, about nato, democracy, about western civilization. it was the exact same message and i don't think president obama was givingwe a speech to white america. this was not an america first speech. it was about westernid civilization, how the west was won.

how we need to defend the west against tyranny and against radicalho islam. there's nothing nationalistic about it. they arest talking about many nations. fighting against evil people. i don't like how it was disparagingly called a throwback speech. i would take that as a complimentgi because reagan or k could've given this speech. >> greg: or lyndon b.nd johnson. >> jesse: juan says trump says things that are dark or jeff on cnn is sayingb trump is telling people to be afraid? news flash, people in europe are afraid, juan. they've been hit by massive suicides and terror attacks over the last two, years. democrats don't want to talk about reality. they think air-conditioners are a bigger threat than isis. >> juan: if he had spoken directly against isis, i would think that would have opened the door. this came through as fearmongering.

>> greg: jesse brings up a point, it seems like europe has been paralyzed by fear of being called out as racist or bigoted for standing up. it's almost like it's over for them.n that they are done. what we are trying to do is say "not so fast." interestings so because maybe in some ways, everybody listens to a speech like that and expects to hear what they think they are going to hear, so they run with it. it's interesting to me, how much coverage this speech got versus then on social media, the australian clip you showed -- i saw that everywhere. >> greg: it was the press congratulating themselves. when they saw that speech, they said "that's how i feel." they all were patting themselves on thee back. >> dana: i wonder how much impact that has. the good thing is it made everyone talk about it. on tucker carlson's show tonight, they had a discussion about this on both sides. charles krauthammer made a very goodhe point. europe doesn't want to be seen

as oppressors. i think that's the worst thing they can be called. it was western civilization that broke the worldwide practice of slavery. it was western civilization that did that. it may have taken a long time to get there. butut it happened. and now that is the scourge of the world and we still fight against human slavery. h >> greg: if you look at linda sarsour,r, the advocate of sharia law, she understands the oppressor versus the oppressed ideology helps her.ha if you portray yourself as a victim, you can actually help destroy western culture. we are so scared of that oargument. we don't want to be seen as the oppressor, so we bend over. >> jesse: there's nothing wrong with western culture.ss one of the other things trump was criticized by cnn, "we made symphonies." he was talking about innovation and brilliance and technology and pushing forward to new frontiers. "we make symphonies" -- that was called a dog whistle on cnn.

like being proud that beethoven came out of western civilization. it's not racist. >> greg: they were talking about beethoven the dog, thoughg from the movie. >> juan: it's not only western civilization that make symphonies s and sings songs. >> jesse: yes, juan, i understand very good music has come from other countries. >> juan: it was like he was saying there was only one place --ac >> dana: but he was in poland giving a speech to polish peopl people. >> kimberly: it's so crazy, they just don't want to give it up. it's like cnn got pants-ed and now they're just like "nope, we are still going to keep doing this." >> greg: it was cold outside. sean spicer takes on jim acosta. that's next. next. many of my patients

♪ >> jesse: since the new administration has taken office, jim acosta has been in meltdown mode. >> can you give us a question? >> you are fake news. >> that is the white house behind me. the white house.. it's bizarre. i don't know what world we're living in right now, we are standing at the white house andh they bring us into the briefing room andnd they won't answer the questions on camera or let us record the audio. for the president to go off on cnn as fake news, it made this entire spectacle seem like a fake news conference. >> jesse: the white house's -- says jim acosta is the one who is the spectacle. in an interview with "the washington post," sean spicer said acosta has gone well beyond the role of reporter and steered into the role of advocate.ta i'd bebe advocating for him to knock it off.

it's hurting the profession. cnn wants acosta to be a pain. do you think he has crossed the line? >> dana: i think there has to be something behind this in terms of -- not that i don't think he's being authentic, i also think they have fanned thee flames like yeah, keep going. it's good for us.. no one talks about cnn this much ever i don't think. i never went through anything d like this with any of the reporters, may be a few people that peacock around but it was never really like this. i would probably ignore him. that might be the best way. i guess he's not going to stop. it doesn't necessarily hurt the white house to have jim acosta out there doing it. there's lots of different ways to make your name in journalism right now. >> jesse: that's it true. there's a ton of leaks coming out. you could get a leak every single day, every single hour. >> greg: he compares the white house to covering bad

realityet television. i guess that means covering the obama white house is like covering the oscars. you only ask what they are wearing. every question is a softball question. it's about his peers and impressingio your peers. speaking truth to power is only brave when there is a risk. if you risk the support of your peers, that's pretty cool. that means speaking truth to power with obama. everyone there loved obama. going after trump when everybody else ishe going rah, rah, rah. like the australian guy. you're not losing anything. you are not risking anything. it's kind of gutless. >> kimberly: that's what that one reporter said. >> greg: i forgot about him. >> jesse: he was a little tough on president obama a few times.re >> juan: let me say what's interesting -- i am surprised that more white house reporters haven't come out to support jim acosta.

to the contrary, he is largely by himself in this. i think he's isolated for the most part, like what's going on with the briefings?? our questions getting answered? it has reached the point "the washington post" editorial page is saying, mr. president, why don't you answer this question? you think about the harsh treatment that people used to give to presidents who didn't have full bore press conferences -- he doesn't have full bore press conferences. >> kimberly: he has given them more than they've ever gotten. >> juan: or his twitter account speaks for itself. they don't elaborate. they don't give you information. if you are a reporter, you have some real problems. >> kimberly: i think nobody gives more information and talks more and lets us know absolutely every single thing in his mind and what he's thinking. president trump. he's the original source. >> greg: can i say something to juan's point, these guys are

actual reporters. i'm just sitting here pontificating. when you're making comments about this guy, i am just giving my opinion. >> jesse: congress is back from recess, but will senators finally pass the health care bill before the recess in august? developments. up next. perfectly balanced. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you love something set it free. see you around, giulia the unpredictability of a flaree may weigh on your mind.

thinking about what to avoid, where to go, and how to work around your uc. that's how i thought it had to be. but then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control... when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. with humira, control is possible.

♪ >> juan: congress returned from their july 4th recess today. many republican senators greeted by protesters demonstrating about repealing and replacing obamacare over the break. g.o.p. senate leaders could unveil a revised version later this week. they are hoping for a possible onvote at that time. what you think? is this likely? >> greg: i think so. the thing is no one understands this. it's way too complicated. what simplifies things is competition. look at a guy who jogs after work. he never really gets in shape. if he is training for a marathon, he always gets in better shape and he gets faster and he's more economical. just the idea of competition makes you better.s that's what's missing here. if we can just explain that and make it simple, make the

government in charge, everything is good. government in charge of catastrophic and you pay for anything else. >> juan: h dana, senator cassidy was on fox news sunday with chris wallace -- he said it's 50/50. senator mccain has had basically --na >> dana: if cassidy is saying 50/50, they've all had their recess. it takes a moment to settle in. i think the message of the members will be that action is better than inaction. it might not be perfect but wehe have a president who is willing to sign our bill. so let's just hold hands. >> juan: one of the bigo options is coming from ted cruz, jesse. ted cruz wants to do more in terms of giving people the power to buy plans that are not regulated by the government. the counterre problem is, that probably would cost the g.o.p. moderate votes. >> jesse: itpr looks like the thing is getting more moderate and less conservative as they are g hashing it out. they are trying to build this thing out of the carcass of obamacare. it's not a full repeal and

replace. i'm not as confident about it as greg gutfeld. it usually has to crash and burn before it's resuscitated. rwe will see if they make it to the august recess. if they don't, there will be some angry republican constituents giving these guys and earful. >> juan: president trump tweets out today he can't imagine that congress would leave withouttwtw passing a beautiful bill. >> kimberly: that's a nice, sweet way, a caress on the cheek instead of a fist to the other side. "oh, yeah," versus "oh, i'm going to crush you. i'm going to destroy your life. when you're up for reelection, i will never let you forget this. i will hunt down your family members." that won't do so well. he's going to try to do that and they should do the right thing. there's no excuse to not get this put through. communicate. explain it well to the american people.g explain it well at home.

they complained and complained about obamacare, president obama, and now you have the most golden opportunitm an at-bat to get this done and grand slam it. are you going to squander it? i think they are going to get it through. >> juan: republicans don't like the house bill at this point. republicans aren't't crazy about what they've got. they need to find something that works for the american people. "one more thing" up next. works . "one more thing" up next.

criticism of the obama administration. he grew up in washington state and was interested and passing along what he learned so that young people didn't repeat the mistakes before him. he printed it out in 15 pages, a lot ofn. information. >> kimberly: i have a very important and serious update. charlie gard, the terminally ill british baby. hiss parents pulled pursue a new treatment and will get a chance to change the judge's mind. they have 48 hours to present that information to the judge. so j far, british and european core has sided with the hospital's decision that his life should end. two u.s. hospitals are willing to help and support as well of the president. >> greg: greg's massage tips.
