of you responded to. the story of a 16-year-old girl whose name has been a rallying cry online after pictures of her alleged rape were viciously posted online and mocked. we interviewed her mom on friday. we have got her, that young woman, jada, speaking bravely to us live in the studio in a cable exclusive. that the subject of our call to action all week. first, the latest that's developing right now out of the israel-palestine conflict. a new factor in the week-old fight seemingly to the death for far too many. israeli military shot down a drone over israeli air space. hamas accepted responsibility for sending it and all of this is playing out as israel continues to hammer gaza with a death toll climbing towards 200. that's sending palestinians fleeing. some taking refuge inside u.n. schools. and troops are amassing at the border.

prime minister netanyahu warns this operation would last a long time. that's a direct quote. pressure is building for this not to last a long time. the u.n. is pleading for a cease-fire. nbc's martin fletcher is in tel aviv where air raid sirens are sounding yet again today. thank you for joining us. this is putting the u.s. in a tough position. can diplomacy still work here, do you think? >> it is putting the u.s. in a tough position. obviously ntougher for the palestinians and the israelis. they are hoping diplomacy will work at a certain point. i do think it will work. this is the third battle that the palestinians and hamas and israel have fought in the last five years. and each time they've ended in diplomacy. the real question is what damage will be done? how many more people will die before diplomacy finally does kick in. but i have to say it's not looking good right now. hamas has said they're not listening to any of the proposals at the moment. israel has said they want -- that they'll keep firing their

rockets against the palestinian targets as long as hamas is flying rockets at israel. diplomacy is building up slowly and far too slowly for the palestinians who are dying. but is not yet ready to fight on either in israel nor gaza it appears at this stage, ronan. >> do you think this new move to publicize the presence of drones in the conflict will serve as carte blanche for israel to do nor compat hamas? >> no, not really. the drones are an important new -- a new weapon if you'd like in hamas' arsenal but it's not new to the israelis. the israelis have been following the hamas drone program for a long time. the israelis released footage of an israeli drone taking pictures of the hamas drone program in action. so they've been following it for some time. and the other question is whether the drones actually pose any real military threat. do they knaer kind of explosive, any kind of armaments. and they -- as far as israel

knows, they do not. that drone by the way was shot down as soon as it entered israeli territory by the israeli sort of american-made patriot missile that israel fired. but the israelis think that the -- that drone probe that -- sending the drone into israel is not really a major threat ga against israel. it's more of a statement by hamas they have such a weapon and in order to -- especially at the home among palestinians in gaza, we've still got more weapons up our sleeve. as a real threat against israel, israelis are not taking it seriously, ronan. >> it's just a small part of a picture that seems to be more and more about hostilities. martin fletcher, appreciate your insight. we'll be closely what's watching on the ground and whether the united states intercedes more aggressively. we've tried again and again and so many attempts have failed so far. another big international story also about the question of international intervention. seemingly intractable problem. this time we're talking about an

intervention for someone small but strong. that's mala yousafzai. she arrived in nigeria with a clear message on her 17th birthday this past weekend. don't forget to bring back our girls. that message delivered to the girls' relatives. and to nigeria's president. boko haram struck back today with a new pretty mocking rejoineder. >> bring back our girls, brings back our army. bring backs our army. >> bring back his army meaning boko haram fighters that he wants free. more than 200 of those girls remain captured. and today, back at home, two 2016 hopefuls face off over the same question of international intervention. senator rand paul hit back against texas governor rick perry in a politico op ed saying that america should stay out of iraq entitled rick perry is dead wrong. tell us how you really feel, senator. governor perry's supposed dead wrong argument that, quote,

paul's brand of isolationism would compound the threat of terrorism even further than president obama's. 71% of americans saying the war in iraq wasn't worth it. whose position will prevail going into 2016. joining us, robert and rodell. thank you both for being here. a short time ago at a politico e eve event. the cheneys were asked about this perry/rand paul duel and dick cheney said he wasn't going to engoers either side. and liz cheney had a little different opinion take on things. take a listen. >> obviously, senator paul leaves something to be desired with respect to national security policy. and so i think that, you know, when you look at sort of without

endorsing anybody, i think that, you know, i've got some big concerns about the extent to which senator paul seems to think we can be safe if we just come home and try to build a fortress america. that's clearly not going to work. >> robert, this really gets as an existential question to americans. 4,000 americans died in the war in iraq. the cost up to $6 trillion. can that wing of the party still connect with a really fatigued america? >> yes and no because remember, when you are running for president it's two different races. it's the primaries which in the primaries it's a more conservative voter. a little more liberal on the democratic side. so if in fact, governor perry's strategy is to go hard right if you will from a foreign policy standpoint, one can make the argument that's a very good move. if, in fact, rand paul is frurng the presidency, it's a little bit of a diceyer game for him. but i think this is a great

intellectual argument to have within the republican party. there have been some republicans going back to world war i that said we should be more isolationist when it comes to foreign policy. i think this is a healthy conversation to have when both sides if you will, or both wings of the party are having this conversation as to whether we should be involved in it or not. >> what about america's willingness to intervene, where does, say, hillary clinton come into that debate if she decides to run? >> i think that hillary clinton will say and do what she believes and not really pay attention to what a rick perry or rand paul is saying. i think that robert is right as far as how this is going to play out versus the primary and the general. there are probably more perryites still in the republican party. definitely are in congress because most of the majority of republicans in congress voted for the war, continue to fund the war and have some stake in

that foreign policy philosophy. i think one of the wild cards will be how the influx of tea party members into the republican party, how that shapes their foreign policy. will they go more with a rand paul or will they stay with a rick perry? >> this debate extends to how isolationist americans are when they look at accepting people into our country. paul and perry are also sparring on immigration. on that subject, perry's really being told that he should keep his focus on those children streaming across his border by people like rand paul. and governor perry is saying this is all about the white house's dropping the ball. take a listen to some of that. >> it could have been stopped years ago had the administration listened, had the administration been focused on the border time after time you see the response from this administration that says, you know what? we're really not that interested

in the southern border of the united states. >> robert is it fair to lay blame on the white house when it was house republicans who again and again blocked comprehensive immigration reform? >> i think it's fair to blame blame on both the republican and democratic side. two things. look. i'm always sympathetic to border governors who deal with this issue on a daily basis, whether it's rick perry or the governor of new mexico, whatever the case may be. however, i remind everyone, yes, republicans did, in fact, say, you know, we want to do x, y and z and democrats want to do a, b and c. so it's a fundamental disagreement in terms of enforcing the borders. it's not fire say that republicans have been dragging their fight but republicans have concerns when it comes to enforcing the law and having in president come up with some type of comprehensive immigration reform. i also would say the democrats have some legitimate concerns, the president has legitimate concerns tass relates to the

congress not moving quickly enough to address this border issue. >> at this point it would be hard for anybody to argue either than that. rodell, given the fact this is part of the debate, congressional inaction, does that make this an issue still a winner for democrats going into the midterms or has the administration's response made things more difficult for democratic candidates coming up. >> this is what i know. fear of the american people when you are looking at this play out. you have republicans screaming bloody murder but at the same point in time when the president asks them for help, asking them for money right now. i think over $3 billion in help to address this crisis. they are saying no. so when i look at rick perry, instead of scolding the president, he may want to scold members of his own delegation in texas that are fighting the president for much-needed funds to address this problem. and just kind of going back to what robert was saying, i tend to disagree with robert on this. you know in the time that president obama has been in

office, over 2 million undocumented aliens have been deported, more than under president bush. we spend over $18 billion a year on border enforcement, more than we do on the dea and aft and fbi. so to say that enforcement isn't happening, i just can't -- i think that's ridiculous. but what we do need is a comprehensive -- we can't just be on the enforcement side. we have to look at this in a comprehensive manner. and republicans have yet to do that. >> right. look. it seems like the more the white house does, the more criticism they get and yet this constant stream of criticism for not doing enough. robert traynham and rodell mollineau, thank you. we have a cable exclusive with the young girl whose nightmare went viral and how she's fight back. she joins us live in the studio after the break. my daughter is studying to be a dentist,

how would you feel if you went through the most horrific attack imaginable only for it to go viral after being shared on social media time and time again. for jada, the 16-year-old girl whose story we first brought you friday it didn't just go viral. people were mocking pictures of her and videos of her alleged sexual assault with a crude hashtag. here's what her mom told us friday. >> i couldn't believe that that was my child. it was disgusting. i cried and i immediately got up and went and made a report to the police. >> jada's also getting overwhelming support online. people tweetsing their thoughts with the #tagjustice 4 jada.

jada counterpose. nbc news isn't releasing the names of the teens accused because they haven't been charged with the crime yet. nbc news hasn't independently verified those original tweets with the images in question came from those teen boys who were alleged to have committed this. we're not using their names just yet. joining me for a cable news exclusive is jada who is just going by her furst name now and family spokesman is back with us too. thank you so much for doing this. i know so many of us have admiration for the fact you've come forward. i'd love first of all to get a sense of the story as you remember it. what do you remember about that night when this happened? >> we went to the boys' house. me and a friend of a friend. they were all drinking at first and they offered me a drink, but i was like, no, it's too strong. i'm not drinking straight like that. so the boy said he'd go downstairs and then he put whatever in the drink and then

brought it back upstairs. and that's when me and my friends started drinking. >> and then you woke up, not having any memory of what happened? >> then i woke up, not having, yes, any memory of what happened. and then after that i went home and then i realized my underwear was on backwards. and i called and asked what happened. i had something, a bruise under my eye. >> and what was going through your mind at that point. what did you think? >> well, just asked him what happened and everybody was like, don't worry about it. it meant to happen. just blowing it off. and then -- >> and it wasn't until some time later you saw these pictures online. >> my friend screen shot it and sent to to my phone. that's when i told my mom. >> what was that moment like when you saw that this was getting retweeted online, that people were looking at pictures of this event that you didn't even remember. >> though first time he put it on the internet it was only for a couple of seconds. so a lot of people didn't see

it, but it was still out there. and it was just disgusting because how i looked and everything that had happened. and it just -- i was just angry. i'm very angry actually. and then now that it went viral over millions and millions of tweets is just even worse now. >> and what do you think made these boys put this online, such a horrific thing? >> well, they have no -- they are retarded. he did that. he said for followers and he's childish. so that's pretty much what they were saying. >> and if you could say one thing to those boys who may have attacked you and posted this online, what would it be, jada? >> i'll see you. bye. >> you have other things going on in your life. and you really have powerfully

taken control of this story because victims who come forward often face so much shaming and persecution. you are really cutting through that. we've reached out to the houston police about this. they say they've got no conclusions on this yet. they are investigating. why do you think there haven't been any charges brought yet given that there's photographic evidence? >> the houston police department has had a history of these rape cases being backlogged. they are undermanned in the sex crimes division. our problem with this case is this does not take a long drawn out systemic investigation because the thorough investigative work that can be done right now because the pictures are out there. the boys put the video of what they did to jada and the pictures of what they did to jada out there. they also bragged about it and boast about it and brag via twitter about spiking the punch and had extra punch for other girls. we later learned it's more than just jada they've done this to. other girls with videos and pictures of them having sex with. it doesn't take rocket science of an investigative work to

bring charges in jada's case. all the information is right there before your eyes. get busy and do something about it. >> i think it's victims coming forward that will allow police to take charge on this. that's why you're talking about this is so important. you realized it happened, saw it online. what then made you want to speak out rather than clamming up? >> because the pictures that were posted is not how i am and who i am. so i'd rather just show them how i actually am. >> and to tell us about who you are, jada. we were talking last night. you says you loved science. what's your big dream? >> i wanted to do work in like a crime lab and do stuff like that because i'm good at science. it's easy. >> maybe bring justice in other cases like this. >> of course. forensics. exactly what happened to me, yeah. >> and you and your mom talked about how people in your community have actually pushed back a little bit and said maybe you should be quiet. maybe you should stop talking.

why do you think that is? >> well, that's people on the internet that said i've taken it too far. that i'm doing too much, but what he did is what's doing too much. so he needs to get in trouble. they both do. >> and it really is about victims coming forward? >> but that's something that as a nation, as a whole, we have to begin to support victims and stand behind victims and encourage them to speak out because this culture of silence goes back for decades in this nation. many women were molested in homes where one parent or an aunt or uncle said keep it quiet. don't speak out. don't destroy the family. so that culture is prevalent of telling victims to be quiet. you'll be scorned, raped over the coals. we must create an environment that says to a victim if you have been sexually assaulted you can stand up, speak out and those of white house love justice will stand with you and

support you. and we need that type of culture. that type of movement in this culture to say to all women and rape victims period, of both sexes, we're here to support you and people will stan behind you. >> we're not going to be quiet. jada, you actually sent some of that message to president obama. you told me you wrote a letter to him. what made you want to do that? >> because he said that cyberbullying and he took it he said that's very important and they haven't did anything about it. it's still being posted as we speak. now that i'm doing all of these interviews, there's still more harsh stuff being says. but i just wanted to tell president obama that he needs to do something about it and that it's very important to me and other people. >> you think this content shouldn't be online? >> it shouldn't be online at all. all of it should be deleted. me and other people. other girls that's been posted on the internet. >> so you've sent a message to the people who allegedly did this to you. you've support a message loud and clear to the government. you are also sending a big

message to everyone of your age, my age who potentially goes through this kind of a thing, to parents whose children might go through this. what do you want to say to those people to the parents and the young people? >> what i want to say to the people, well, the people who are mocking me and stuff, what you have to say isn't important at all, and what you are saying isn't going to do anything. for the people who were there and know what happened, i just want justice and i would like for them to all go to jail. and just listen to your kids and -- >> and part of the way you're sending that message, part of how you were mocked was this #jadapose showing when you were unconscious. you came up with a pose of your own to fight back and you took a picture of yourself before going on air.

#iamjada if you want to stand in support of jada, tweet that pose jada has come up with to take control and send the signal that victims aren't going to be silent. jada, i really appreciate your taking the time to join and telling this story. i know it's hard and for so may be victims out there it's empowering to see you talk about it. >> thank you. for this week's call to action we're going to be following this all week. we're going to be looking to create a twitter fire storm fighting back against this kind of cyberbullying. there's way too much blaming the victim on social media. what happened to jada has got to be a tipping point. we're asking you to stand with her and join a chorus saying we won't stand for this ugly behavior. tweet's photo of yourself and hold a sign saying #iamjada. do that pose. raise your hand like she did. i'll be doing mine right after the show. again, here's jada's, if you want an example. we want to harness the same

medium that bullies used to hurt her to show all the jadas of the world that you, me, all of us can use social media as a tool for good. thank you so much. stay with us. ♪ [ cat meows ] ♪ ♪ da-da-da-da-da, bum-da, bum-da ♪ ♪ bum-da, bum-da ♪ the animals went in two by two ♪ ♪ the sheep and the frog and the kangaroo ♪ ♪ and they all went marching, marching in two by two ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] the nissan pathfinder, with intuitive four-wheel drive. an adventure worth sharing. nissan. innovation that excites.

here. also party time right afterwards. angela merkel joined the victors in the locker room for a celebration and what one player called the best selfie ever. she does give good selfie. anyone else tired of that term? that's a big viral story. today is the day we opened the poll and asked you what this week's underreported story should be. that's where you tell us what the media is overlooking and we report out the winner. send your thoughts on twitter, facebook. use #rfdunder. last time you wanted to know more about children farming in tobacco fields facing unthinkable brutal conditions. we're going to bring you that story later this week. first, coming up on today's program, could the united states' biggest enemy in iraq be a supposed ally? a classified pentagon report just leaked today has the surprising answer. don't go away.

where does america turn in iraq? a classified pentagon review reported today suggests the answer isn't obvious and it isn't going to be the iraqi military. that report reveals deeply infiltrated by sunni extremists and by shia personnel allied with iran. so much so the iraqi military itself may pose the greatest threat to u.s. advisers heading to the region. all this as things deteriorate rapidly on the ground. now in baghdad, gunmen are mowing down more and more people. another 29 in an apartment w mm building over the weekend. responsibility for those attacks remains unclear. the responsibility for america, especially with so little by way of reliable partners, is turning into a major conundrum. joining me eli lake of the daily beast. thank you for being here. eli, i'll start with you. this new report is devastating for anyone hoping that iraqi military that we trained can be

a bullwart against the islamic state force. if not them, who can the u.s. rely on? >> the trends on this started a few years ago. maliki was purging a lot of the top most competent officers. the ones with the best relationship with the united states that fought alongside the u.s. military against al qaeda during the surge and has replaced them to with a lot of yes men. that then creates an environment and it's really an old problem in iraq where a tloeft sunni minority who are in the armed services in iraq are not trusting and believe that the -- of their commanders and believe they are corrupt and that opens up the door for the kind of penetration, infiltration we've seen from the sunni insurgent groups. does create in some ways a situation where you have to go unit by unit, division by division to find out which iraqi sort of military commanders are worth trusting. >> right. >> which is something of a mine field when we look at hundreds of u.s. forces going in there now.

rula, on the political side, things aren't even more promising there. that's a stalemate in the parliament. they met on sunday hoping to resolve this conflict over what's next for iraqi leadership. they were there for 30 minutes before they dispersed and said we don't know what to do. what can end this stalemate? >> only politics. because the military intervention, whatever the military intervention will have to be followed up by a political agreement between all parties. this is what petraeus did during the surge. he went to the sunni and said you'll have your share of power. come join me in fighting al qaeda. i'll pay you off. you'll have seats in the parliament and important position in parliament. maliki came in after. after the surge, after we stabilized the country and the civil war ended somehow and he decided i want to rule in the name of the shiite majority and exclude. and eli is right. he went after the militaries that are sunnis and after the

guy that represented the sunni minority. now there's fear that whoever will govern will not govern in the name of this nation but in the same of his sect. and this is a problem. you saw this and you stabilize iraq. >> we saw again and again in these sectarian situations that marginalizing the opposition groups is the most dangerous thing for staying in power. we see that with maliki. under what circumstances, eli, do you think he'd cede power? >> it's unclear he'd cede power but i think if there are as we've seen, reports a number of shia political leaders that oppose maliki in part because he's been incompetent. he's brought the country back into civil war like this, and, you know, there were some reports that suleimani was also unhappy with maliki's performance, that he may want to cling to power but he may not in the end have the votes and it wouldn't be his choice at that point. >> let's look at afghanistan.

another situation where the united states is facing just an intractable political dilemma. there seems to be a little glimmer of hope there. john kerry was able to negotiate an agreement between abdullah abdullah and ashraf ghani and maybe a large portion of these votes will be recounted, audited. is that the answer there, right now, rula? >> the answer to all of these conflicts is a formula that power sharing formula. we don't know who won really in afghanistan. i'm not sure we'll know fully. but one thing is clear. to both sides, whether it's ghani or abdullah, they need to create a unity government in order to stabilize afghanistan. otherwise, the taliban will come back and al qaeda behind them and everybody else. so what you need to do is give every sect a share in the power. the way we stabilize lebanon after 15 years of civil war. so you have a president that is christian. you have a prime minister who is sunni and you have actually ministers that are shiite.

this is the way things should be. everybody should be included. minorities. the problem with syria, for example, they can't reach an agreement. and what will happen to the minority in a post-assad era. once you find that answer you'll stabilize the country. >> eli, of course, the stakes are so high it makes sense the united states stepped in in an aggressive negotiating role as john kerry did. there's some blowback from that. vice reporting the senate chairman there actually said it means afghan elections are synonymous with u.s. secretary of john kerry that he entertains so much. these are sustained political processes here. do you thing united states did the right thing being as involved as it was. >> i think it's a difficult paradox. on the one hand, in both afghanistan and iraq, two presidents have said that they would support kind of a democratic sovereignty which means eventually the united states needs to pull its kind of -- pull its influence back.

the same time, in the process of doing that, i think too soon in both cases you empower sectarian autocrats that then trample on the rights of minorities. finding that balance between having the u.s. remaining engaged and then allowing other sort of -- this pluralism is a very difficult thing. >> you mentioned trampling on minorities. and that includes gender rights. in afghanistan, there are so many reasons not to get more involved but the stakes are so high when we pull out. it's a nation of women and girls that are just starting to go back to school in small tentative numbers and a high chance that will all be lost in we leave. eli and rula, stick around. another big, heavy but also interesting issue coming up. israeli violence going global. we're looking at protests in france getting particularly ugly and one jewish youth group fighting back in an interesting way. we'll go to paris after the break.

a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers,

which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. oral-b toothbrushes aree engineered al, visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. with end rounded bristles so brushing doesn't scratch gums and angled perfectly, to remove 90% of plaque for a healthier smile. trust the brand more dentists and hygienists use. oral-b.

the fallout over the conflict between israel and hamas is going global. there are protests across europe and in 15 united states cities just this weekend. and in paris today, more than 100 teens tried to storm a synagogue chanting israel murderer. demanding an end to air strikes on gaza. that confluct has anti-semitism boiling over across france. one faction of france's jewish community is aggressively holding back protesters. they did this during another synagogue attack over the weekend. some are questioning their tactic of meeting violence with violence. our partners at vocativ introduce us to that group, betar.

>> as far as it is from the conflict, the feelings cut no less deep there. back with me, eli lake and rula. we're seeing it not just in paris but even in the united states a shot fired at a pro-israel rally just today in l.a. the longer this goes on, are we just going to see more and more of this hatred boiling over all around the world? >> definitely we'll see more and more of it until there's a political solution to the conflict. and aspiration of the palestinians. millions for freedom and democracy and dignity are met. but i have to say, as a palestinian and as a muslim woman, i'm ashamed of this.

this is disgusting what some islamic groups are doing in paris and elsewhere. not every jew is an israeli and is in agreement with what netanyahu is doing in his government and not every palestinian in gaza is supportive of hamas. it needs to end. violence will never lead to a solution and security. >>rula, that's a powerful message. coming up, another rights fight right here in the united states. and it's got an interesting and surprising new front. that is the gay rights movement and the next front in the kitchen. seriously, the kitchen. what you need to know about that up next.

weaving his way through awkward political encounters on the hill. fight continued this time in the kitchen. mississippi state has an annual summer picnic in new york featuring mississippi governor phil bryant. in reaction to the state's new religious freedom restoration act, which critics say could discriminate against gays, the chefs catering that picnic asked the government to stick around for a less typical event afterwards. a, quote, big gay mississippi welcome dinner. and joining me now is the ring leader of those chefs, former top chef masters contestant john carns. thank you so much. i had to read the audience this incredible quote from you, your response to the governor not wanting to necessarily attend this event. you said, quote, i got a phone call, a dressing down by the governor's office. they wanted to know why i would embarrass the governor's office like this. then it bleeping dawned on me you don't talk to me like a 6-year-old. all you blanks have to do is

come to dinner. you can let your imagination do the rest. why was this event so important for you? >> well, you know, for me this is really not as much about the law. the law itself, when it comes to its ability to discriminate, is sort of patently flaccid. but the reality is this is about the potential that it has in the wrong hands and the fact that it just puts a terrible face on mississippi again. i mean, my question is, why do we want to continue to pass laws like this that just, you know, put us in the light of a questionable behavior? >> and chef john, why didn't this play out like it did in arizona? there was a similar law there. the governor ultimately under the pressure of the fury of the entire nation decided not to sign it into law. and yet, here it's about to take effect in mississippi. >> well, you know, i think there are a couple things at work here. the governor and our legislators want us to believe that this is a law that's being enacted to protect our first amendment rights. when the reality is, this law,

which was passed on a federal level in 1993, has been hijacked over the course of the last 23 years. by the letter of the law, it only applies to governmental bodies. it's been used by individuals to, you know, discriminate against gay men and women, against -- and this is oddly -- this isn't just about lgbt rights. this is about human rights. this is about everybody. the potential for discrimination runs across the board. >> oprah's former chef said recently, art smith, of course, that you guys in this profession, in particular, have one better than people's ears. people talk on the hill, but you have people's stomachs. how does this profession in particular help you promote rights fights like this? >> well, i mean, i think the great irony here, ronan, is this is about the table. the table is about coming together.

it's about community. it's about bringing people together in one place to have dialogue and conversation about their lives. it's not about discrimination. it's not about shunning people. so between that and the fact that, you know, christianity's central message is peace and love is being hijacked and used as a tool for hatred and discrimination is patently disgusting. >> chef john, it's a creative new front. we'll be following it closely. thank you. >> thank you. >> that wraps things up. thank you at home for joining me. now it's time for "the reid report" with my colleague joy reid. joy, what do you have coming up for us? >> well, first of all, i want to compliment you. so many important stories you covered today. i want to particularly commend you for shedding light on jada's story. you had a call to action. i've already posted my i am jada photo. kudos, man. great job p. good on you. i'll be joining you in just a moment. >> indeed. thank you very much. coming up next, civilians caught in the cross hairs as the

>> then, the texas border town that is basically on lockdown, where if you don't have the right paperwork, you could be trapped. and daily show co-creator liz winston will be here to discuss her campaign to mobilize women to vote against candidates who are passing laws that are hurting them. but we start in the middle east where the threat of an israeli grounds invasion into northern gaza as well as the potential for drone warfare hangs over an already deadly backdrop. in a violent conflict that only got worse over the weekend and into today. while israeli officials say their iron-dome defense system has prevented any deaths from missile attacks coming from gaza, israeli air strikes have killed about 174 people and wounded more than 1200 in the gaza strip. the israeli military has been dropping leaflets on to buildings in northern gaza warning residents to flee in advance of further attacks. and moments ago, the spokesman for israeli primeis
