congressman pete king from long island, we appreciate your take on iran and your party's race. thanks. appreciate it. >> take care. just ahead, from politics to the legionnaires' disease outbreak in new york city. our dr. richard besser coming to join us on the disease. how the city's handled it and what residents should look out for. dr. besser is next. >> welcome back to "upclose." a legionnaires' outbreak in new york city has killed at least a dozen people. more than 100 others have been infected by the bacteria. at least 20 cooling towers tested positive. but to be clear, we don't yet know the exact towers that are actually responsible for infecting the people. we're gonna talk about it, taking a closer look. joining us in the studio is abc's chief health and medical editor, dr. richard besser. rich, thank you for joining us. it's thursday. this is airing sunday. but this is what we know right now. 121 cases. that includes the deaths. no additional cases since august 3rd. 10th straight day now. it'll be 13 by the time we go on air of any new cases. is this over? >> it's ove

. >> pete king who we had on. >> republicans and democrats have been critical as well. >>> russia's presidente camera. has he already worked out a plan to outmuscle america, not in europe but in the fight for crucial resources in the arctic? cnn's brian todd has been finding out. >> vladimir putin's aggression in the arctic region is a major concern for u.s. officials. the russians have not only claimed 460,000 square highs of the arctic ocean for themselves that's in about this region here that claim still being adjudicated at the uchb they've engaged in a massive military buildup along the arctic rim in their country. putin has established and expanded a northern command in this region. u.s. officials tell us he's built up air defense systems there, created so-called arctic brigades of the russian military. here is a comparison for you. the united states has two icebreaker ships to deploy in the arctic region. russia has 41 of them. to many it may seem like the arctic is kind of a barren wilderness with not much to contest. but analysts say in this region especially here in the center you'v

pete wilson in california. dan patrick in kansas. steve king in iowa. the reason he's doing this is because he knows that it appeals to the base of the republican party. and it's not an accident that he's chosen immigration. but for all of us who are serious about actually solving this challenge, we know that you have to address this in a reasonable way. you're not going to summarily wound up their homes of 11 many people, many who have children who are american citizens and send all of those families back. at this point i completely agree with jorge ramos who said there's something fundamentally wrong with that, there's something scary and actually unamerican about the proposal that trump has put on the table. and my hope is that more journalists and other folks in the public realm will take him on about it. >> and lastly, obviously you are someone who has had a historic rise through the levels of politics. young mayor of san antonio and now in the cabinet. a lot of people speculate you could be a vp pick. if hillary clinton said, look, secretary, i ne

because it appeals to his republican base, and we've seen folks from pete wilson 20 years ago to jan brewer a few years ago to steve kingdrum up resentment against immigrants in order to get elected. at the same time, personally i can only imagine what so many folks are feeling of different colors and backgrounds who have an immigrant history in our country. i know my grandmother came when she was six or seven years old in 1922 from mexico as a young orphan, and she worked her entire life as a maid, a cook and a babysitter. so she didn't reach, quote, unquote, the american dream, but because of that, my mother was able to graduate from high school, go to college, and my brother and i have become professionals and then public servants. so what he's doing, the plan that he's put forward, is a dangerous one, it's offensive, and i don't think that it's practical for an america that is operating in a 21st century global economy. and my hope is that ultimately people will choose reasonableness and this sense of embracing our immigrant past instead of the divisiveness and the rhetoric that trump is offering. >> mr. secretary,
