environment or good for the economy? greg: uber is a medication? >> no. [laughter] >> and, yes. greg: that's good to know, thanks to morgan ortega, rob long, katherine timpf and tyrus. i love you, america. arthel: this is a fox news alert. russia striking back against the threat of new u.s. sanctions on moscow, by ordering the u.s. to cut no fewer than 755 people from diplomatic staff in russia, and president trump still has yet to sign the sanctions bill congress just passed. hello, everyone, welcome to a brand-new inside "america's news headquarters" i'm arthel neville. eric: hello, everyone, arthel, and thank you for joining us tonight. russia expelling 20 times as many diplomats as we did in december. when it comes as the president tries to regain momentum in the white house. new chief of staff said to be

sworn in, in the morning, retired marine corps general john kelly expected to take over tomorrow after former chief of staff reince priebus was pushed out. arthel: doug mckelway is live from the white house. what are we hearing from the white house on this latest move? >> reporter: we heard from the white house absolutely nothing, arthel, and inquired of the national security council. they referred us to the state department and the state department referred a nothing burger in regards to the escalating crisis in russia. it said our policy is not to comment on the number of individuals serving at our missions abroad. said that, the russian foreign ministry said russia has until december 1st to reduce staff members to 455 people, ordered the expulsion of 755 american diplomats. the combined total is 1200 americans serving in russia. russia has shuddered two u.s.

diplomatic compounds, a daca or country house outside of moscow. this all coming a day after congress overwhelmingly passed this new russia sanctions bill, and today in astonia, vice president pence said to our kristin fisher accompanying him on the trip that he expects the president to sign that bill. >> the president's made it very clear that russia's destabilizing activity, support for rogue regimes, activities in ukraine are unacceptable. the president made it very clear, very soon, he will sign the sanctions from the congress of the united states to reinforce that. >> reporter: and there is something else which plays potentially into this new russia crisis. yesterday, the president retweeted this from fox and friends -- and then the president added this --

. >> reporter: that may have potentially rubbed putin the wrong way. the threat of increased u.s. oil and gas exports to europe is a real threat to russia which depends very, very heavily on own gas and oil imports to europe, to flag up its own sagging export industry. we'll keep an eye on this, this is not a good sign in relations with russia. certainly doesn't jive with russian collusion conspiracy to this point. arthel: so much more to be revealed in this story. meanwhile, the palace intrigue continues at the white house with the appointment of general john kelly to be white house chief of staff. that's supposed to be officially taking place tomorrow. what's the latest with that? >> the first thing is he'll be sitting in that new desk tomorrow morning. his primary mission is, of course, to plug leaks and run a bit of a tighter ship there. his plate is obviously more than full on the international

stage with this new escalating russia crisis. also new missile provocations from north korea and iran and questions of whether to reassess the entire u.s.-afghanistan strategy, and then, there are domestic issues. how to unite republicans to pass their agenda from repeal and replace of obamacare to tax reform and many, many other pieces of legislation, at a time when many, many republicans, it appears, are increasingly embolden to attack their own president. it is a tall, tall order for mr. kelly. arthel: a full plate. no doubt. for more about the new chief of staff. melissa quinn, reporter for washington examiner. hi, melissa. >> hi. arthel: what's going to change and how quickly will it be noticeable and will this shake-up shore up the unstable foundation at the white house? >> that's the biggest question that's facing president trump and the administration right now. obviously, secretary kelly coming in as the new white house chief of staff.

there is a lot of hope that given his military background, he comes, in provides a little more discipline, a little more organization to the west wing, and also that he moves forward and tries to diffuse the warring factions that we've seen among white house aides and tries to streamline the various power centers that we've seen emerge in the west wing as well. arthel: speaking of that, you are talking about anthony scaramucci, a big personality, just got into the president's camp. steve bannon has been inside this white house from the start. so can general kelly control these two, and will he cut off their direct access to the president? >> that is the big question facing secretary kelly as he starts his first day on the job, tomorrow. not only is there a question whether secretary kelly can control steve bannon and anthony scaramucci given the personality that you saw last week. it's also whether or not president trump allows him to exert his power over the white house communications department, over the various

west wing staffers, including those who are allied in particular to steve bannon and anthony scaramucci. that's the big question and we'll have to see how that plays out over the next few weeks. arthel: part of that is can general kelly stop the leaks and can he stop the president's tweets? >> absolutely. i thinks at this point in his presidency, obviously, the -- unfortunately, the biggest detriment to president trump right now is really president trump, and i think that was particularly evidenced last week as republicans were trying to make good on their seven year long promise to repeal and replace obamacare, instead of bringing together republican senators, trying to get them to rally around the various health care proposals, president trump was unfortunately taking to his twitter account and attacking attorney general jeff sessions, implementing new military policy, regarding transgender people from serving without any guidance or notification to the pentagon. so at this point, secretary

kelly has a tall order and see what happens if he's able to rein in the president and focus on promoting the policy agenda. arthel: what can the president do to make his white house and presidency run smoothly? >> put down the phone, i think for one, may be something that secretary kelly as well as certainly republicans on capitol hill want to see president trump do. there have been a lot of calls for the president to focus on his agenda. we saw him, he's coming off of a week where we saw the failure of the republican senate health care bill, but there are a number of legislative issues that are facing congress in the next few weeks. have you tax reform. a budget. you have ideally funding for the border wall. these are all priorities for president trump, and they really need his focus and attention, and i think honing in on that agenda, working closely with republicans on capitol hill. that is going to make him successful. arthel: yeah, and general kelly is going to take over, we're not exactly sure how he's going

to rein, if he is able to gain control of the white house staff quickly, are the president's distractions over or will the ongoing russia investigation keep the president's policy agenda that you just mentioned offtrack? >> the russia investigation is something that obviously captures a significant amount of the president's attention. we can see it in the early-morning hours, usually, when he's watching the cable morning shows. if that topic is coming up. we know it's something he's going to tweet about. look, republicans in congress have a very lengthy list of things they're trying to accomplish. as well as president trump, he has a lengthy list of campaign items both on the campaign trail and when he took over as president it. it remains to be seen if secretary kelly can rein in the president and convince him the focus needs to be on the agenda and let the investigation run its course within the justice department with special counsel robert mueller as well as in the congressional committees on capitol hill. arthel: clearly, president

trump wants to win, he wants to get the job done he promise dodd for the people of america, and we know that president trump has great respect for the general, so perhaps it will be general kelly who can come in, that can sit down and the general can take control and say this is how it has to be, and actually, if president trump trusts him, which i believe he does, maybe he can actually restore order to the white house, the general, that is? >> absolutely, we know like you mentioned that president trump holds his quote, unquote generals in very high regard. he's kept three former generals to serve in high posts on his administration. whether or not you agree with the decisions is up to other people to debate, but he has very high respect for his generals and there are a lot of people, republicans and democrats on capitol hill who support secretary kelly, who have a lot of respect for him, and are hoping that in terms of restoring order and discipline to the white house and keeping president trump on track, secretary kelly may just be the man for the job and may be the

man to be successful in doing that. arthel: okay, we hope so, and we will talk to you again, melissa quinn, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> the current system is imploding. the president has stated it. i understand it. the american people understand it. again, you've got insurance companies. you've good 83 insurance companies before this administration came into office that fled the market, that said we can't do this anymore. you're going to have 40% of the counties next year that only have one insurance company providing coverage? that's not a choice. eric: that's health and human services secretary tom price, warning about the prospects of nation's health care, as a battle for a new bill is resuming. on capitol hill, republicans are trying to regroup after suffering the stunning setback in the early hour's morning friday morning. remember that? in effort to repeal and replace obamacare, three gop senators including south carolina's lindsey graham are working to

get an alternative, and looping in the president on their ideas. garrett tenney is live in washington with more reaction from capitol hill and more on the new proposal. hi, garrett. >> reporter: eric, you will remember senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said it's time to move on from repealing obamacare. president trump made it very clear he has no intentions of doing that. in a series of tweets he urged republicans to vote on any other legislation until they vote again on health care, and today he tweeted -- and the president isn't alone, either, senators lindsey graham, bill cassidy and dean heller are working on an alternative plan to repeal obamacare which they hope can get 50 votes to pass. that plan in the works would keep most of obamacare's taxes and provide federal funding for health care to the states in the form of a bloc grant.

and at the same time, you also have republicans, like senator susan collins of maine who voted against the skinny repeal this week and says it's time to give up on repealing obamacare and work with democrats to fix it. >> we need to go back to committee to the health committee and the finance committee, identify the problems, carefully evaluate possible solutions through hearings, and then produce a series of bills. >> reporter: and previously senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said that's what the senate would likely do if republicans couldn't repeal obamacare on their own, now that the president has weighed in so heavily. the decision of where to go from here has become a little more complicated. eric? eric: that it is. see what the senators come up with, and if that could fly. thank you, garrett, arthel. arthel: this is a fox news alert on a show of force in the skies over the korean peninsula flanked by south korean and japanese fighter jets, a pair

of u.s. supersonic bombers carrying out a low pass over an airbase in the south before flying back to guam. demonstration of american military power intended to send a message to north korean dictator kim jong-un, less than 48 hours after the north conducted another intercontinental ballistic missile test that experts say may be able to reach beyond the west coast of the united states to parts of the heartland. ellison barber has more from washington. ellison? >> reporter: the pentagon says they carried out a successful thad test hours after another show of force with fighter jets. the u.s. air force flew two b-1 bombers alongside two japanese and korean fighter jets. the mission lasted hours and began at anderson airbase on guam. it's all in response to friday's launch of a long-range

intercontinental ballistic missile. north korea state media says the recent icbm launch proves it is capable of reaching the united states. this missile flew 2300 miles into space, roughly 500 miles higher in the one launch on july 4th. in a statement the pacific air force's commander says diplomacy is the primary goal but they're prepared to do more, saying if called upon, we are ready to respond with rapid, lethal and overwhelming force at a time and place of our choosing. meanwhile, president trump is pointing the finger at china, tweeting he is disappointed and believes they could do more. >> i'm very disappointed in china's response that it has not been firmer or more helpful. >> reporter: as for this morning's thad test, the u.s. missile defense agency said they shot down a medium-range ballistic missile over the pacific ocean. the thaad system intercepts

missiles as they head towards the earth in the final or term until face of a launch. it's designed to intercept short and medium range missiles not long-range missiles like the one north korea launched friday. because of the latest tests, south korea plans to deploy four decisional thaad launchers, china criticized it saying they don't stop the north korean threat and create instability in the region's security balance. arthel? arthel: ellison barber, thank you so much. the u.s. navy welcoming a new ship to fleet named after fallen hero who paid the ultimate price for our country's freedom. we'll have details on that ahead. eric: and we just saw what north korea can do, but can it be stopped? you know experts say the regime has the capability of hitting us as far as chicago. coming up, what could be done to rein in kim jong-un? ambassador dennis ross will be here on that. >> one of the reasons that i

hope general kelly will be able to be effective even beyond a chief of staff is to begin some very serious negotiations with the north and stop this program. delicious... fresh fruit. it's perfection. seriously? an epic soundtrack? is there any other way? that's what a smoothie should taste like. visit a store today for fresh fruit smoothies and summer deals. ykeep you sidelined.ng that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you.

>> i make it as a clear and present danger to the united states. the only solution is a diplomatic one. i'm very disappointed in china's response, that it has not been firmer or more helpful, and i think that the administration and this is one of the reasons they hope general kelly will be able to be effective even beyond a chief of staff, is to begin some very serious negotiation with the north and stop this program. arthel: senator dianne feinstein sounding the alarm about the danger posed by north korea. the concern stemming from launch on friday of an intercontinental ballistic missile, for the second time in less than a month. experts saying it's capable of going far enough to hit major cities in the u.s. maybe even chicago, l.a., denver. joining us now is ambassador

dennis ross, former special middle east coordinator, fox news affairs analyst and author of doomed to succeed, the u.s.-israeli relationship from truman to obama. good to have you here. i'd like your reaction to president putin ordering the u.s. to cut diplomatic staff in russia by no fewer than 755 people in the next month? >> well, i think that if basically he held off a while, anticipating that the trump administration was going to adopt a different approach, was going to ease sanctions, and now that the congress has adopted a set of sanctions and also made it clear that the president can't on his own end the sanctions without getting congressional approval, putin understood that what's likely to happen is sanctions are intensified, not eased in response to what the russians did in terms of meddling in the election. so now he's responding and

showing, okay, if you take these steps towards russia, russia will respond. you can't take these steps with impugnity and not think it will produce a retaliation. that's what we're seeing. arthel: then there is north korea, we'll go there. if you are the president, what would you do? and are the flyovers effective? . >> the flyovers send a signal that we're not going to simply take this lying down. we're not going to acquiesce in it. they're not going to deter right now, north korea. if anything, they're designed less to affect north korea and more to affect the chinese. we're trying to signal the chinese that they have the leverage on north korea. basically they provide most of the food, most of the fuel, to the extend to which the north koreans maintain any link to the national financial system, they do it through chinese banks. the chinese have enormous leverage but not using the leverage the way we would like them to use it. one of the reasons they're not,

they fear if it put too much pressure on the north and the north collapses, the regime collapses, they'll have 22 million north koreans coming across their border. they'll have the u.s. and u.s. forces on the border, there won't be a buffer state, so they view north korea with nuclear weapons as less of a threat than the collapse of north korea, so if we're going to move the chinese to change their posture and to use the leverage that they have, they have to understand that our approach towards this issue is not about regime change in north korea, it's not about forcing the collapse of north korea, it's about our recognizing at one level that they have kind of a red line and a limit, but they also have to understand and accept that we have a red line and a limit, and that limit is north korea cannot have an icbm that can reach us, that can be armed with a nuclear warhead. the challenge is to convince the chinese that we will do enough so that they at least have to get the program

stopped, maybe reverse. we for a sense saying we're not pressing for a regime change and in the end will live with a north korea that has some nuclear weapons but cannot have icbms. it has to roll back that program. nature of that threat has to be reduced. that's where the room for negotiation is. arthel: all of that sounds sane but kim jong-un, he wants to have his nukes. meanwhile, ambassador, the trump administration is imposing targeted sanctions on ten chinese companies. and i ask you will this hurt china's overall economy enough to cause president xi to put pressure on kim jong-un, the pressure you are talking about? >> i still think it will not be sufficient. the chinese are looking for something from us that also shows that we recognize their limits. look, the end of the day, china has adopted a position that north korea will not denuclearize, meaning it will not give up nuclear weapons. there is a difference between having nuclear weapons and

having intercontinental ballistic missiles that can deliver them to the united states. china is saying if we use leverage to force them to give up their nukes, kim jong-un is not going to do it. he'd rather impose terrible austerity on his country so he has the nukes, he thinks the nukes allow the regime to survive. if we understand, if we have a position from you that you're not going to try to force the collapse of the north korean regime, we can find some way to limit the program and stop the icbms. what we need, the united states needs, is there will be no icbms in the north korean arsenal, and that has to be verifiable in a way that the chinese can also demonstrate there's a cross to the chinese if they don't live up to the sanctions they make. that price itself could of course risk the regime, that's what's holding the chinese back, so the key here is to persuade the chinese we will do enough.

if they don't do it, that the price from their standpoint will also be unacceptable. what the chinese don't want to see is more anti-missile missile capables like thaad in south korea. arthel: right, they know we can look into the mainland much farther. >> they know also this would contain and limit the effectiveness of chinese power, if we do it with south korea and also with japan. so we have to build our leverage on china but you need to do it in a sense by offering some incentives for them, meaning dealing with concerns while also putting real pressure on them. they don't want to see south korea become more armed, especially with the thaad anti-missile missile. they don't want to see japan become more militaryized with the same capability. that's where the leverage is going to be. arthel: they're telling me to wrap, but if kim jong-un already has icbms that can

reach l.a., denver, chicago does, he need the money flow from russia -- excuse me, china or russia to strike the u.s.? >> the short answer is he hasn't yet been able to put a warhead on the icbms, but within a year he will be able to do that. he does have the money ultimately to sustain the regime. the question is see if china will exert the leverage to get them to give up the icbms. we can't get them to give up all the nukes but roll back the icbms that they have. arthel: ambassador dennis ross, thank you very much for your expertise. >> my pleasure. eric: arthel, if that's not enough to worry about, there was an terror plot with an eye to the sky. what we're learning about a plan to take out an airliner in australia. president trump shaking up the political world. he did that bigtime by winning last year's election, what do the polls show now about how he is doing, and what that might

but they do suspect the plan may have been to bring a bomb on board a plane, possibly in hand luggage. one of the suspects seen taken away handcuffed with an injury to his head. none of those detained in today's raids have been charged. but australian prime minister malcolm turnbull believes this plot to be described as islamic inspired terrorism. >> every day, every hour, we are focused on ensuring that our defenses against terrorism are stronger than ever. that our cooperation is tighter than ever. that our coordination is swifter than ever before. >> reporter: security has been stepped up at australia's airports following these arrests. passengers have been warned those increased security measures may cause flight delays. there is no evidence that security was breached so far. and australia's prime minister says the threat level in the country would remain the same following the latest arrests. arthel?

arthel: kitty logan, thank you very much, kitty. eric: the next presidential election is 1191 days away. the president is looking toward it, he held his first fund-raiser for re-election last month in washington. if the results of recent polls continue, he could have a battle on his hands. recent "gallup poll"s showing the president's job approval rating is troubling in 31 states, disapproval rating is higher than approval rating. the president's support seems to be shrinking in the states he needs to count on, and that put him over the top last time. what could the trendline mean if it does hold up? larry sabato, the director of center of politics at the university of virginia, and has crystal ball, maybe not three years out or so. as of now, past the six month mark, what are you seeing? >> well, clearly president trump's ratings are low compared to other presidents who had just begun their first

term. and that's got to be troubling in the sense that there are major pieces of legislation the president wants to pass, and members of congress are political animals and more inclined to vote for a president's program if they believe that he's very popular in their state or district. but the good news for trump is, she very popular in most of the republican states and districts. i don't think that's the problem. i'm glad that you counted the number of days, because with 1190 something to go, we know that polls are absolutely irrelevant, and, yes, we all remember, though i'm not a pollster, we remember i analyzed the polls, we remember that the polls that came out even in the last week or the day before the november election were wrong in many cases, and many of the battleground states. how much weight you should put on polls this early? not a whole heck of a lot. >> the president certainly made a point of that during the campaign. karnak could have done better

in some of the polls. he's down in solid republican states. he's down in texas, arizona, georgia. below 50% in the big states he won like pennsylvania. north carolina even florida. what does it mean if you start trend lining below that 50% in states that you are going have to carry? >> you don't want to do it. you don't even want it in the first year of a presidency. look, some of this is due to the fact that the president hasn't gotten a big legislative victory other than confirmation of a supreme court justice. once he gets victories, assuming the republican congress gives him some, i think that will show up in the public opinion polls. let me add one thing, eric, i don't want to get too technical, when people are looking at the polls, it's really important they ask one question. who's being surveyed? is this all adults, the entire adult population in america. is that where the sample is coming from? if so, trump's rateings are

lower. if so, is it registered voters or likely voters in a presidential election? if that's the universe, then trump is going to do better, because for example, senior citizens vote heavily in all elections, they're always there. young people often are not there. they didn't show up much last november the 8th. the "gallup poll"s that you are referring to are surveying all adults. so that explains why some of the ratings are much lower than other polls show. eric: that's a great point, and seems that some of the polls, though they may have accurate numbers, may not be an accurate snapshot of what's going on in the country through the? >> not the snapshot of an election, i can tell you that much. and particularly after the lesson we all got last november 8th. i don't think anybody is inclined to forget it unless they want to forget it. eric: the oregonian based on the polls is saying 99 electoral votes.

based on analysis of this. >> no. eric: you're shaking your head. that's the stuff that's out there. >> i know it's out there. what does he have to do? eric: go ahead. >> if the election were rerun today, i think he might have gotten a point or two less than he got last november, i don't think the results would be dramatically different. the reason we're not getting many polls limited to likely voters is because they're really expensive to do. you have to eliminate from your sample people that you contact who aren't registered or are registered but unlikely to vote. so natural, the pollsters, since it's not close to the election will do the easy thing, which is to simply survey all adults. eric: you just gave the secret of the pollsters that they don't want to us. it's expensive. you broaden it out and you don't have to hire as many

people and spend as much money now? >> after last fall, i'm not going to be defending them very much. [laughter] >> that's the way it is. eric: still 1191 days to go, and a lot certainly can happen in one or two of those days to change an actual poll. >> absolutely. eric: how about a thousand of those days? >> exactly. eric: larry sabato, we'll be looking forward to your crystal ball in three years from now. >> thank you very much, eric. arthel: this is a fox news alert on new bloodshed in somalia. a car bomb exploding near a police station in the capital city of mogadishu, killing at least five people and injuring more than a dozen others. al-shabaab, the al qaeda-linked terror group blamed for the attack. conor powell has more from the middle east bureau. >> reporter: today's blast shattered months of relative calm in mogadishu, and as is so often the case, most of the victims were civilians. according to authorities.
