since then his parents have been fighting for his release. this week they brought that fight to washington. and joey and paula reed join me now. thank you so much for being here. it's an honor to have you. you've met with leaders at the white house, on capitol hill. i want to get to that in a second. first, you have new information on trevor's health. we know he had covid. he was on a hunger strike. how is he doing? >> he's sick. he still has a productive cough and chest pain. pain in his chest. and he's having some kidney issues. he's drinking none potable water at the jail. in the regular barracks they're allowed to have water and boil it. but where he's at in solitary confinement, he doesn't have the ability to do that. we're not sure if that's causing the problems or not. he's sick. >> how did you find out he's going to the hospital? >> we've had no direct communications with nim 152 days since he went to the prison camp. so we send a local attorney every few weeks to meet with him to make sure he's still alive,
