♪ ♪ arthel: and we begin with white house chief of staff john kelly asserting his authority as he tries to instill order and discipline in the west wing. the retired marine corps general addressed about 200 white house staffers on friday giving them a sharp warning against leaks and making it clear that serving the country and the president should come before their own needs and priorities. amid the crackdown against leaking, kelly is also facing the challenge of the russia investigation which continues to dog the white house. kristin fisher is live in bridgewater, new jersey, where the president is vacationing and, kristin, it's not just the chief of staff kelly who's cracking down on leaks, but the doj as well, yeah? >> reporter: yeah, that's right, arthel. today in an exclusive interview on fox news sunday, the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, said that they have seen a surge in leaks in classified information. he wouldn't give an exact number
1:02 pm
except he would say that the number, that there's more during the first six months of the trump administration than there have been during the last three years of the obama presidency. so they've seen a significant increase in the amount of leaks. as for what exactly will happen to those leakers, here's all he would say. listen. >> we look at the facts and circumstances. what was the potential harm caused by the leak, what were the circumstances. that's more important to us than who it is, who is the leaker. so if we identify somebody, no matter what their position is, if they violated the law and that case warrants prosecution, we'll prosecute it. chris: including white house officials and members of congress. >> including anybody who breaks the law. >> reporter: and so now the justice department has created an entirely new unit within the fbi to deal with these leaks and, of course, president trump, he's very pleased about it. he tweeted yesterday, quote: after many years of leaks going on in washington, it's great to see the attorney general taking action for national security. the tougher the better.
1:03 pm
so after weeks of calling his attorney general weak and beleaguered, finally attorney general jeff sessions is getting some praise from president trump, arkansas them. arthel: yes, he is. hey, kristin, what about the report in "the new york times" that vice president pence is preparing for the white house in 2020? >> reporter: yeah. well, the vice president's office put out a very strong-worded statement about this. they called that new york times report disgraceful, offensive and categorically false. here is just a little bit of what was put out in the statement this morning. it reads, quote: whatever fake news may come our way, my entire team will continue to focus all of our efforts to advance the president's agenda and see him reelected many 2020. any suggestion other side is laughable and -- coars is laughable and absurd. i asked the vice president directly during his recent trip to eastern europe, i said, you know, do you have any presidential ambitions either in 2020 or 2024?
1:04 pm
and here was what he said. >> all that i'm preparing for every day is to do everything i can to see president donald trump reelected in 2020. >> reporter: so the vice president and his team saying there is simply no truth to that new york times article, but it just goes to show you how much disarray that republicans, other republicans perhaps may see within trump administration, some of the other names that were sort of tossed around and mentioned in that article as possible contenders in 2020, senator tom cotton from arkansas, senator ben sasse of nebraska and ohio governor john kasich. but again, the vice president saying he is committed to the trump administration and president trump and nothing else. arthel? arthel: too early to talk about 2020 anyway, so there you go. kristin fisher -- >> reporter: i know!

in the gut with a billion dollars of sanctions that are going to start to be felt right away. >> reporter: the chinese prime minister is urging his north korean counterpart to stop provoking the west, but he also said the u.s. and south korea need to stop increasing tensions and urged all to return to negotiations. the chinese ambassador to the u.n. says the yes vote from china and russia -- nations who have opposed new sanctions in the past -- underscores the growing frustration, the global community has with the north koreans. >> translator: the fact that the council adopted this resolution unanimously demonstrates that the international community is united. >> reporter: the unanimous vote is seen as a big win for the trumped a managers. now the president and the -- trump administration. now the president and the u.n. will be watching closely to make sure the sanctions are being enforced. rick? arthel: this is a fox news alert. military troops in venezuela

1:08 pm
mosque in bloomington just outside minneapolis. several witnesses reported seeing a truck speeding away just after the explosion which shattered windows, destroyed furniture and woke up neighbors. governor mark dayton condemning the attack in the strongest terms. >> this is an act, a criminal act of terrorism against the imam who, thank the good lord, was not present in his office. it would appear that this person intended, and the destruction that it's done to this sacred site is just unthinkable, unforgivable. >> reporter: the fbi is leading this criminal -- federal criminal investigation. agents are, of course, talking to witnesses, they're also reviewing videos and cell phone data and analyzing the components of the device, working to figure out how it was put together, who built it and why. >> is it a hate crime, is it an act of terrorism, who did it, all these things, again, that's what the investigation is going to, is to determine who and what the motivation was.
1:09 pm
>> reporter: interfaith leaders gathered with city officials at the mosque to condemn the violence. they said everyone has the right to worship in peace and safety. >> an attack on a mosque is an attack on a synagogue is an attack on a church, it's an attack on all faith community communityies, and so we stand with you, a million protestants in minnesota.

1:18 pm
about 72%. and what i can tell you is there is a market for what trump is selling. and we cannot ignore that, and we can't just focus completely on washington. what we are overrun with right now is negative eau lahrization. this is -- polarization. where people are supporting republicans not because they love what republicans stand for, but because there's so much hostility to democrats. and that's, that's what it's about. it's about fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting. arthel: let's bring this larry sabato, director of the center for politics at the university of virginia. larry, does david french have a point, and what is the effect of political polarization on democracy? >> he does have a point, and, of course, many people have talked and written about this for years. you could argue that the polarization started in the late '60s. i think it really accelerated in the 1990s, and each of the last few presidents have brought it to a new peak, and sure enough, we're at a new peak
1:19 pm
under the trump administration. there's so many reasons for it. we'd need an hour, and you don't have an hour and i don't either. but social media, certainly, has played a role. it encourages anonymity and, therefore, viciousness. so i think that's played a role. we can often today live and work and watch tv and read our publications and never really get the other side. we get one side, and the other side gets the other side, so there's no meeting in the middle. arthel: yeah. you're so right about that. is there, you know, a science behind it though, larry? the process, i'm talking about. how to can you analyze political polarization at the center for politics, for instance? >> well, there are some good measures of it. i want to give credit to the pew research center for measuring negative partisanship. what is that? basically, when you boil it down, it's the fact that most people today hate the other party more than they love their party. boy, that's a bad situation, isn't it?
1:20 pm
arthel: it really is. whatever happened to we're i all americans? we can have different political viewpoints and still go out for a beer later? >> there are so many divisive issues, divisive personalities. it would help if we could remember that we have a whole lot in common, and there are certain values and principles that all of us agree on as americans. but we don't often think about that, and it doesn't sell. you know, when you're going to have a tv show or you're going to have a publication, it makes more sense to emphasize the negative, emphasize the differences rather than the similarities. arthel: so that would suggest that the press is part of the problem, and if so, how can the press become part of the solution? >> well, it would be great if they featured politics in a way other than red versus blue. sometimes there are people who are a little purplish, you know, who might be good to add into a
1:21 pm
discussion and bring people together. we've lost the art of compromise. it would be wonderful if the media every now and then encouraged a compromise. not on everything, not on basic principles that you deeply believe in, but there are loads of ways we can compromise about loads of subjects. the media should encourage that, and they don't. arthel: by the way, purple is my favorite color. [laughter] moving on now, politics and religion, usual taboo subjects in social set, but politics dominate where have you go these -- wherever you go these days. is there an adjustment to be made? >> you're so right about that. i bet most of the i viewers have had quite an argument with some family member or close friend, often at thanksgiving or christmas or whatever the event is. and it can ruin the whole day. sometimes it causes a permanent split. once again, even if if you have to ban politics, do that. it would be better if you, again, found -- arthel: so boring! [laughter]
1:22 pm
the conversation is -- >> well, you know, why not -- how about arguing about sports teams? that's okay. people feel that deeply too, and yet it's not fundamentally divisive. we don't want to head toward a divorce in the united states. we don't want a blue states of america and a red states of america, and some people have actually the proposed that, and i think it's nutty. arthel: that's nutty. seriously though, is a reset possible or is the divide too deep? >> oh, i hope reset is possible. i'm an optimist. i think anybody out there who's an optimist will hope and believe that it is possible. issues change, personalities change, new people come to the fore, so don't lose hope. there's plenty to be hopeful about. arthel: we will leave it on that high note, larry sabato. thank you very much. >> thank you so much. rick: tragedy at sea. a u.s. marine aircraft crashing into the association off the coast of australia. up next, why search operations have shifted to a recovery effort.

1:28 pm
white house to stop the leaks that have been, i mean, washington these days is like a sieve, how many leaks there have been, and it was sort of seen as a warning that you need to focus on doing your job and not fighting these battles in the media. i think they're trying to keep white house battles within the white house and not have them spread all over the pages of the newspapers which is what's been happening -- rick: this is his team. he assembled this team. why is it leaking so badly? >> what's interesting is you've got a team that's -- it's not just a team of rivals, it sort of goes beyond that really. you've got people with very different views. and i think one of the problems is you don't have enough direction from the top, you know, especially in the areas of foreign policy which right now is what we're seeing the biggest battles, you you know, pitched n the media about. president trump does not really have a solid vision of foreign policy, and he's sort of wavered back and forth on a number of issues.
1:29 pm
so because of that, you have a team. you've got some people in the white house who are more of the international type and others who are more nationalist stripe. and they are able to have these arguments and, you know, leak on each other to the media because the president himself hasn't decided which way he wants to go on foreign policy. and they're jostling for position not just for their own status, but also to get their ideas made into official policy. rick: we are hearing some of the ways the general's trying to tighten things up is by listening in on conversations, kicking low-level staffers out of meetings, closing the door of the oval office to limit distractions for the president and, yes, even vetting some of his tweets. >> yeah, that's the, that's the really interesting part, i think. and i think that is going to be perhaps general kelly's biggest challenge, because president trump loves to tweet, and he likes to be himself on twitter. and, you know, i took a look at, you know, the president's tweets since general kelly has been in office, and i have to say i did
1:30 pm
notice a marked change. they were a lot more professional on the whole. now, there was one big exception, and that was the tweet that trump sent out saying that the relationship between the u.s. and russia is at an all-time and dangerous low, and he said you can thank congress which can't even give us health care. so that was the big exception i found. here's a guy attacking congress which is made up of majorities in both houses of his own party. but other than that there was a more, there is a more professional tone, and, you know, i've heard that general kelly is asking to see some tweets before the president sends them, and he's actually even made suggestions on changing the language. and that's, of course, not on every tweet, but on issues that they think might, you know, cause an uproar or might be policy-related. and, you know, it's kind of important. you remember that trump announced his transgender ban in the military on twitter, not even telling the department of defense beforehand. so general kelly's got his work cut out for him.
1:31 pm
rick: is it your sense he's the right man for the job? >> i do. and i think, you know, a big part of it is how the president sees him. now, you know, he has made it clear that his job is to control the staff, not the president. but, of course, the president is the one that sets the tone, and that's why staff have been, you know, been able to walk in and out of his office, that's why they thought it's acceptable to fight amongst themselves in the media which sometimes the president has even encouraged. but, you know, reince priebus -- president trump did not have a lot of respect for him, and trump loves the military, and he loves his generals, as he calls them. so general kelly is someone that trump has a lot of respect for, and he thinks he's done a great job at homeland security even though we've heard at times he pushed back a little bit against trump while he was head of dhs -- rick: rick well, speaking of generals, there's been a lot of talk about former general h.r. mcmaster, even a hashtag fire mcmaster on twitter, apparently he's lost support
1:32 pm
among the far right in part because of a letter that he sent susan rice, his predecessor, which extended access to classified information even though this is, apparently, standard operating procedure that every former national security adviser, every former president gets this kind of a letter. >> yeah, you're right, rick. everyone does. and that is so the people that are in the administration now can go to them, go to people who had the job in the past to get information from them that may be helpful to them. and it's totally standard procedure. and what was interesting was that, you know, people have pointed out that this letter was the only one leaked, and it was leaked right after someone was fired from the national security council who was seen as a sort of bannon ally. he was very close to jared kushner and, you know, mcmaster had wanted to fire this guy for months and wasn't able to, and as soon as general kelly stepped in, he said, you know, people need to be able to choose and control their own staffs. he was able to fire the guy and immediately we get this leak,
1:33 pm
and it does seem -- as soon as someone's fired from the white house, you do get interesting information leaked. but, yeah, the mcmaster, you know, the sort of plot against mcmaster has been really quite brazen and amazing. like you said, it even has its own twitter hashtag. rick: yeah. >> and, again, this is because there's a war not just of people, but ideas in the white house. and mcmaster, you know, he wants to have more military presence in afghanistan. he thinks that's crucial to winning the war. steve bannon thinks we should be pulling out of afghanistan, and that's just within of the examples of disagreements between them. it's really not just a war of people, but ideas, and it's not helped by the fact that president trump himself has not decided what to do in afghanistan. there was actually a meeting recently where everyone expected the president to make a decision, you know, options were

of voice -- of video, i mean, there is an example going around right now and i think it shows barack obama, somebody being able to piece together from video and simulate his voice to the point of where he's saying things he never said, and it becomes tougher to prove nobody said these things. we're looking at things like the technology that underpins clip to currency like bitcoin, it's called block chain. we're looking at other technologies which will give us a basically immutable ledger, a way where there's extreme accountability and transparency for these things. it's very difficult because a lot of times it's social engineering and getting people to do things they shouldn't do and inserting documents and information. this is a combination of old school/new school and technology. arthel: yeah. so if it's difficult for someone like you to track, can the average person really tell what's real and what's manufactured? >> that is an excellent point, arthel, and a lot of times, no, because, you know, there's this old joke remember i think it was in the new yorker, two dogs, you can't do that to the dog, but on
1:45 pm
the internet, nobody knows you're a dog. you say you're a credible source, how do i know that? just because somebody linked to it we have this phenomenon that if i put it out there and somebody else links to it and the third person links to it, we think it's author tate i because somebody else has mentioned it. we're talking in a vacuum there. it is, you know, getting to the ground truth, the ground truth of what was really said and was really done is becoming harder and harder to do in this internet age because the internet has no concept of distance or morals. arthel: and you mentioned russia. what is russia up to now? [laughter] >> what is it they're not up to? you know, they're into stealing anything that's not nailed down, them, the chinese, the iranians, the north koreans. they are masters of disinformation. they're looking to make sure they keep their hand in espionage, stealing our secrets. and that's the fact that they reduced our diplomatic staff, i think, by 735 people in russia is a countermove that will impede our ability greatly to find out what's going on in the kremlin and all these
1:46 pm
intelligence agencies. they are without a doubt making sure that they stay relevant and involved in all of the discussions from north korea to china to what's happening in syria and everything else. so i'm sure that they are up to social engineering, spear phishing, targeting e-mails to make sure they stay in the loopful. arthel: how does the u.s. government combat that. >> >> it starts with us. i walk around fox a lot too, you guys do a really good job about putting signs up that says watch out for spear phishing. that's the number one tactic that the russians use to get inside systems to steal information from us. so the average person, you are the first line of defense. don't click on links, don't go to suspicious and dodgy web sites. when you get an e-mail asking you to open up this pdf, stop and think for a minute. it's these small things that people don't think counts for a lot, but that's how they inserted black energy into ukraine when we lost 700,000 homes for quite a while? that's how they hacked john podesta.
1:47 pm
a simple little e-mail is probably the best way, if you want to invade a country. arthel: and what's the trick, finally, morgan, you may get an e-mail from a web site or a company that looks very official -- >> right. arthel: but you look at what's behind the dot, the dot.com, usually if you take a look at it, let's say, for instance, bank of america. it may not say bank of america, it may say something like bank of america info -- >> right. arthel: something very hard to look at or you usually don't pay attention to. click, you open it. give us a tip on what to look for. >> that's social engineering. hover whether it's in e-mail, take your mouse -- don't click on it, but just hover your mouse over it, and you'll see that link pop up, and read that carefully. if it's from bank of america, it would say bank of america.com. no br for brazil or something like that. and if you had, if you're worried at all about that, arthel, go directly to the web
1:48 pm
page, make sure you're operating from a trusted source. and just because it's an e-mail doesn't mean it's i true. just remember white house.com used to be an adult entertainment site. a lot of people thought it was white house.gov, and they were redirect to that more a long time. arthel: oops. morgan wright, we leave it there. thank you. [laughter] >> you bet, arthel. rick: well, some communities could be facing a shortage of doctors thanks in part to obamacare. >> we still have a problem with's issues. we still have a problem with lack of specialists. rick: up next, dr. marc siegel explains how a health safety net might also be at risk. d busines. plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding
1:49 pm
than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.
