conference expected this hour on wednesday, 30th of july. good morning, i'm jose diaz-ball latdiaz diaz-balart. the crisis is escalading in the middle east. they're supposed to be in the middle of a temporary four-hour cease-fire. hamas said it will not cooperate after another deadly night. the united nations is condemning israel for the tank attack that struck another u.n. school in gaza where palestinians were taking refuge from attacks. at least 15 palestinians including children and u.n. guards were killed. 90 injured after tank shellser to through two classroom walls. the palestinian death toll approaching 1300. and the israeli offensive against hamas and israel once again is putting the blame on hamas. >> the outrage of the world for these pictures, which is

legitimate and any decent person should feel a sense of outrage. that should be directed at hamas and not at the state of israel which is defending itself. >> ayman mohyeldin is following the latest developments from gaza, good morning, ayman. >> good morning, jose. the israeli military announced today a four-hour humanitarian window in which it said it would suspend the operations around the gaza strip. it excluded areas where israeli ground forces were currently operating, particularly in the eastern part of the territory. it also called on civilians who already left their homes to not return to the areas and also promised to respond to any attack that endangered the lives of israeli civilians that were coming out gaza. hamas responded saying it was a propaganda employ to exploit any type of media attention. it said it would not respect the cease-fire as long as israeli troops remain in the areas on the eastern part of the gaza

strip. all comes on a day when the israeli government is coming under tremendous amount of international scrutiny. once again a u.n. school was hit. according to the initial investigations, the u.nited nations said they collected evidence at the scene of the attack. it was an israeli shell that landed in the school injuring 100 or so other palestinians that were sleeping there and taking refuge. the israeli military said it was responding to fire coming from the direction of the school. they say they are still investigating the incident, they have not claimed or denied responsibility for the israeli military saz repeatedly in the past it has found rockets hidden at empty u.n. schools. . highlights the growing crisis and humanitarian disaster that the u.n. is dealing with. hundreds of thousands of palestinians have taken refuge at the schools. out in united nations can't keep them safe from the fighting that is happening all around them. jose? >> nbc ayman mohyeldin, thank

you very much. joining us from tel-aviv from buzz feed. we're seeing new video released by hamas showing one of their operations through a tunnel into israel. what is hamas hoping to gain by releasing the video? >> well, for them it's actually a public relations cue to be able to say not only manage to infiltrate israel but get video. we attempted to kidnap an israeli soldier. for them this is their version of pr. we have to remember that israelis have been releasing video from day one showing their operations and what they're doing in the gaza strip. hamas is responding with their own version of that. >> there's a public relations war going on, side by side with the real cruel, bloody war we're seeing. while israel is being criticized for the mounting civilian casualties including the death of two u.n. schools, israelis overwhelmingly support the initiative according to one poll. i want to show you the numbers

87% support the military offensive. does that line up with what you're hearing from residents there? >> definitely. israelis have spoken to have been hard pressed to find an israeli that isn't in favor. just earlier today i was speaking to israelis down south in some of the areas hardest hit by rockets, and they were saying they want to see israeli troops reoccupy the gaza strip. they thought it was the only way forward. what they're saying is actually being echoed by politicians, politicians in the cab innocent further to the right saying they're going to press on netanyahu to not end the war until he demilitarize the ga georggaza strip. that would potentially take months. >> i want to talk about the reality behind these numbers and this sentiment you are describing. we're talking about israelis that have been living constantly on alert for thousands of

rockets. >> definitely. these are israelis that live in towns that often been neglected by the government. a a lot of the times israelis who can afford to move elsewhere do so. those left in the community can't afford to move anywhere else. for a long time, they didn't have the benefit of iron dome, the anti-missile shield that has been protecting israelis in tel-aviv. the people south say they've been neglected for too long and they don't want to see israel leave gaza until they see a lasting military gain there. >> my question is, what people want to see in gaza and israel, how much more can they do without just leveling the entire area? >> that's a great question. look, israel has already gone farther in the military operation than they have in the last two. that being the one in 2012 and 2008 who are already seeing them strike targets deep in the heart of gaza facility.

schools, homes of hamas leaders have been hit. how much further can they go? will they launch a ground operation that is not just on the prefer i ares we see now of the gaza strip? will they go forward and occupy the gaza strip. that's a question everyone is asking themselves right now. >> buzz feed, thank you so much for being with us this morning. we're expecting any minute now an update from southern california officials on that massive water main break in los angeles. nearly 100 year-old 30-inch pipe broke yet spewing water as high as 30-feet in the air between 8 and 10 million gallons of water. four buildings damaged on the campus of ucla. it flooded the locker rooms under the pauley pavilion that underwent a huge renovation. jacob, we've been seeing some pretty extraordinary pictures this morning. how is the school dealing with

this? >> this morning they're getting their first look at the damage. they're still dewatering the campus. getting the water out of four buildings including two parking structures, then they're going to see the real damage. we had hundreds of cars stuck in some underground parking structures. we saw that there -- there are students who say they saw completely submerged the doesn'ts of cars. that's one aspect. you have the football field which was underwater. you had the pauly pavilion underwater. and the huge renovation that happened. they're dewatering and get their first look today at what the real damage is and what it's going to cost. >> and, jacob, 8 to 10 million gallons wasted essentially. california is in a middle of a huge drought right now, people are saying why did it take officials so long to cap the problem? >> right. they're defending themselves

saying they had to battle rush hour traffic, they had to do research to figure out the valve. they would have cut off water to hundreds of people in the area. so it took about 3 1/2 hours. as you said up to 10 million gallons. this during one of the worst droughts this area has ever seen. in fact it happened on the same cay the water hike fines were going into place. residents here thinking about whether they have their sprinkles on for an extra five minutes then this happens. >> yeah. thank you so much. good to see you from los angeles. coming up, the children fleeing gang violence in central america tell their stories to congress. you will hear from them. we'll ask a representative if congress will do something. an organization bringing people back from africa because the ebola is too dangerous. we hear for the first time from the son of the american

maureen's lawyer declared the marriage was broken and she had a crush on the businessman they were accused of taking money from. clock continues to tick in washington. no real solution in sight before members head home on summer break as early as tomorrow night. face nearly two-thirds of their constituents now saying immigration is at an important issue to them personally. that's up 10 points since march. it might be because of stories like these. three of the faces of the crisis coming to congress's doorstep yesterday. telling their powerful stories during a hearing organized by the congressional progressive caucus. the youngest of the group 12 years old. she broke down on the stand while describing her desperate journey from honduras. she witnessed two separate murders before fleeing earlier this year. this 15 years old witnessed a man die on the same street where he grew up before taking the

same journey this year. and this 15-year-old fled guatemala in 2009 after a man tried to sexual assault her and her cousin as they walked to school. >> when we were walking to the house, a worker there access to help him with something. when we got close to him, he forced us inside the room he was building and closed the door. we asked him what he wanted and he said nothing and tried to take our clothes off. we screamed and we were able to run away from him. >> that's a reality for 15-year-old little girl. i want to bring in a man who hears stories like these every day. the founder and executive director of border angels. he joins us from san diego. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> thank you. tell us on the ground why are these kids coming every single day making the horribly dangerous journey now get here?

>> well, it's not a new situation, what is new the numbers. the large numbers. these are people that are escaping horrifically violent situations like the stories you shared in their home countries. predominantly in guatemala, or honduras. if they don't go north, to the united states, some to mexico. they will not wake up to see another day. the violence is out of control in these communities. a lot of that violence has to do with policies that the u.s. implemented in those countries a long time ago with the civil war, the demand for drugs. it's a situation in which we need to work on the solution. the countries in latin america, the united states, and to send the children back like proposed by so many is the wrong solution. some of them do not qualify for an humanitarian visa. i realize that. the majority do. and the majority that come have a family relative living in the

united states. and currently border angels is housing at least a dozens of these families from central america and some from mexico. we're welcoming them with love and not that hate that you saw displayed earlier. >> why should it be an american problem? they receive a ton of american aid. they get the money that folks living in the united states send back to their home countries every single year in tens of hundreds of millions of dollars worth. why should we now be dealing with their problems? >> unthorszed migrants going to other countries is a worldwide phenomenal. there's 250 million undocumented people living in their countries not their own. the u.s. has about 11.5 billion of them. when the people that came to this country that are still the majority of this country, and forefathers and foremothers came a couple of hundreds years us. the u.s. had nothing to do with

the policies, the famine in ireland, et. cetera. the people coming from latin america, the u.s. has a lot to do with the situation. whether it's the demand for the drugs, the u.s. consuming more than half the world's illegal drugs. u.s. policy interventions to the benefit of the united states and not necessarily those countries in latin america. we have a big debt to these countries. the chicken has come home to roost. when you intervene there. from the late '70s and '80s we need to take care of the children. these children are all of our children. and as a society is judged on how we treat our children. i'm not saying we want everybody to come, open doors. i'm not saying that. i'm saying we need to have a humanitarian solution to this humanitarian crisis. i'm not seeing that yet. >> and finally, enrique, we're about to talk to a member of congress. what do you think the congress and president should be doing to

fix the issue? >> i think that president obama and congress should be doing what is policible to help those countries help themselves with economic opportunities, more security, but also having more presence in those countries so these people that are fleeing north to save their lives with apply for the visa in their home country and not take the terribly dangerous journey on the train that goes through mexico. try to solve the issues in their home countries and let's build bridges of communication and love to these countries. not just say we're going to send them all back. that's not what this country was built on. that's not what this country is all about. we need humanitarian solutions to this humanitarian problem. >> enrique, thank you for being with us this morning. >> gracias. >> let's go to washington where a california democrat is with us. what a pleasure to have you. thank you. >> good to be with you, jose. >> i want to take you through a gop border bill that was

outlined yesterday and comes in at well under $1 billion. changes trafficking law, 2008 law, gives money to the national guard, and immigration court. what is your read on this? >> as the president said or his administration said yesterday, it makes matters worse. it's about one sixth of the money president said he needed. it includes none of the money on the wild fires. they put together the bill, a partisan bill they never asked democrats. barely meet the emergency needs for wild fires throughout the country. it's inadequate. the republicans would change the law to strip these children that he was talking about of any rights and prebss they currently have under existing law. it doesn't deal with the real issue which is what we have to do is deal with the humanitarian crisis. we have to try to move it faster. the problem is there's a bottle

neck. you don't get rid of the bottle neck by getting rid of rights and protections that children have under our laws. that's the principle difficulty. it's even so shortsighted, it doesn't provide any money for wild fires. >> you know should there be a change in the immigration and naturalization act? i'm thinking maybe just to label most or many of these kids as refugees and automatically give them the opportunity to at least have their day in court with more representation? >> we don't need to strip children's rights and protections under our current laws. i'm talking about all sorts of children, not just the central american children. but we need to make dramatic changes to our immigration laws and our umm gracious system. everyone agrees, republicans and democrats our immigration system is broken. this is what happens when you don't fix the broken immigration system. the republicans in the house

have shut down a vote on an immigration fix for over a year. that passed in the senate on a bipartisan basis 68 votes out of 100 voted for the bipartisan fix. it's been sitting house republicans refuse to allow a vote. when you have the shut down do nothing mentality this is what happens. you end up with the humanitarian crisis at the border which would have been addressed had we passed the fix to the broken immigration system well over a year ago. >> and then, congressman, and then, congressman. there's this to deal with. >> by the way, how many are dying in their home countries? yes, there's violence down there. and aside from honduras, there's no place down there that is more dangerous than detroit. we're not giving people from doubt asylum to go to, say, iowa. >> i don't know what to ask you, congressman. maybe a response. >> there's no response to that. ignorance -- ignorance is

dangerous. to do nothing when you have that kind of ignorance becomes serious and it becomes reckless. because you have kids who are fleeing. think how desperate and dangerous the situation must be that 12-year-olds are fleeing their country and family to escape that. that's how difficult it is. and we're not -- as enrique said, no one should expect the american public to just accept everyone who comes from all over the world. when you have laws, and we have a process, and the process works as long as you don't let it bottle neck. when you come up with proposals that are one sixth behawhat youd you're not getting there. you're making the president's people said, you're making matters worse. >> to conclude, congressman, to equate a city in the united states with as many problems as it may have to an area of the world gang members commonly use the heads of rival gang members

as hood ornaments and take little girls as personal property to destroy them. to equate it with anything in the united states is just tough to deal with. >> i will -- if i were from detroit, i would take severe insult to someone representing my town that way. a lot of good people in the city of detroit, a lot of good people in the state of michigan are being essentially impugned by this comment because some of the violence that occurred. a serious violence. to equate it with what is going on in honduras is crazy. it's an insult to the people of detroit. >> congressman, thank you for being with us this morning. the white house calling out the republicans, all of them who are laying down impeachment talk. it won't stop democrats from fundraising off the issue. we'll dig into the high dollar

this morning democrats fighting back against a lawsuit republicans are filing against the president. a lawsuit that house will vote on todayed at 6:00. some democrats see it as a first step in a first lawsuit then impeachment. impeachment talk at the capitol is an whole new level. a handful of republicans are leaving the door open and democrats, democrats are using that to let the money flow in the dcccc raked in $3 million online since thursday. white house spokesman refused to call on democrats to stop fundraising off it. >> it is up to democrats to make their own decisions. ly leave it to democratic strategists who have a much better sense than i do about the best way to raise money. >> john boehner explicitly said, you saw it on the program yesterday, he does not plan, want to impeach the president. he blames the democrats and the white house for making it up as a way to raise money.

>> this talk about impeachment is coming from the president's own staff. and coming from democrats on capitol hill. why? because they're trying to rally their people to give money and show up in this year's election. we have no plans to impeach the president. we have no future plans. listen, it's all a scam. >> by the handful of the members keep mentioning it incoming the number three wouldn't rule it out on sunday. let's frame the debate. jimmy williams and no el republican strategies. thank you for being with us. jimmy, both sides seem to be saying it to motivate their basis. it could be down to catsh. >> no one watching this will be surprised that democrats and republicans are playing -- if democrats can raise money off

the potential impeachment of barack obama, republicans most certainly can raise money off the benghazi committee. it's not the first time in the history of the united states that either party has played politics with something important as impeachment of the death of an ambassador. >> and boehner was explicit because he has to be. why won't other republicans do dot same thing. put it to rest. >> this i'm a fund-raiser in my real job. i'll tell you that both sides look for excuses to raise money. we've got the 2014 elections coming up. there are some close calms. what better way to rally, you know, the democrats are a little bit of the underdog in the u.s. senate elections right now. what better way to rally them than this debt of impeachment? and there are a lot of republicans including myself that think this is a waste of

time. we have a lot of other important issues, rather than milling around and impeachment lawsuit of the president of the united states -- >> jimmy, our first read team said democrats are interested because this issue backfired and it do so in a big way in 1998. begin rich and president clinton. >> that's right. don't think for a second that both system democrats and republicans did not fundraise off this. both sides did. there's enough blood on everyone's hands here back in 1998 and now to show everyone some sort of shakespeare began tragedy. i read about it on blue nation review.com. this is a simple thing. i think that people have been talking about this almost 20 members or congressional candidates, republican candidates are talking about this. they're suing the president. the first time a house or senate -- collectively, or individually sued a president of the united states in the history

of the united states. they don't have standing to do something like this. so if that is -- are they going to raise money off that? the rncc going to raise money off the lawsuit being filed today and voted on by the house today? that's the biggest question. because you have a house of representatives suing a president of the united states. it's never happened before. will the rncc send out a flier or e-mail or digital thing to the massive e-mail list saying we're suing the president because he's unlawful. i bet they will. >> not only when it comes down it may be good for motivation of folks in the midterms, doesn't the whole thing turn off most people in the long run? nothing gets done. everybody is talking and attacking. there's no real progress on issues that matter to this. >> i agree 100%. i'm a believer that the lunatic fringe needs to be cut from both sides of the party. what bothers me is there are 74,000 new, new donors to the

democratic fundraising effort. that bothers me. they're also smaller donors. they're giving online. if you'll remember, that's how obama came through the fundraising world and surprised everybody with the massive amounts he raised from $20, $15 donations. we're seeing this and they are new and first time donors which scares me. it means are these people in the middle that are so tired of everything going on in government they're going, you know, forget this. if it's going to be i'm going to go with the democrats. that's not what we want to see. >> new donors could mean new voters but thank you for being with us. great to have you on. look forward to having more chats with you in the future. before we go to the break. a question for you, our viewer, to ponder. there listen opinions about the immigration story, impeachment. hopefully anything we're talking
