and political correspondent is in new hampshire and joins us now. lisa, this is an unusual new hampshire primary. the race is down to two candidates and president biden's name isn't even on the ballot. how are the campaigns seeing it? >> this is the first. but the biden and trump campaigns hope it will be the end to the real contest with chris christie dropping out and ron desantis. for the trump campaign they want nikki haley to end momentum. and he has challenges of his own making, what is happening here in new hampshire is the idea that for both parties any chance to avoid a trump rematch has to happen here. she is the last republican

standing against donald trump. >> that's the sound of a two-person race. with ron desantis out nikki haley faces the test she wanted, a showdown in new hampshire. >> when you vote on tuesday, you will be making a decision, do you want more of the same? to willing crowds, she pitched trump as chaotic and herself as constructive about education and the debt. this is her most competitive state where she stumbled here last month not naming slavery as the cause of the civil war. trump needs trump supporter until his 10-year-old daughter asked to listen to other candidates. they did, again and again, new hampshire style. the two became celebrities.

at nicky haley events and two. chris: ti's events. >> she talked about how much debt we acquired. i started thinking about what do i leave for my daughter and her future. reporter: what hannah wants is not trump. >> going to call nikki a bird brain. i don't want my president to do that. >> he takes care of americans. >> there is unmatched fervor and crowd size and taunts haley. and where trump who faces 91 felony counts argues he should be immune. >> this is just me. because they will be unable to

act. >> many believes trump lies and many slug it off and see a strong man. >> he is strong on immigration. i came in this country on the front door. >> he is taking care of our borders. >> how do you feel other people look at trump supporters. >> fat, did he useal and uneducated. i have many driez. >> it is a force which haley has some chance. >> first time i'm voting for joe biden. >> you are a lifelong democrat. >> i voted for joe biden. >> primaries past. >> and biden came to new hampshire. >> walls of democrats and switching to haley to block

trump. >> to be honest with you, that is part of my thought process spending time at town halls and events. i have admired her. >> stripped new hampshire of its delegates after the state kept its early primary date. >> to say i'm disappointed is an understatement. >> the primary debate ended in the biden campaign to stay out of the state. >> we have to put joe biden on the top of the ticket. reporter: his fate is in the hands of grassroots efforts and volunteers. >> super unusual. no one has done this before.

>> a former nominee who helped the effort with six people on a zoom call and now -- >> people are organizing at this effort in their state and that is a win. reporter: people must write in biden's name for him to get their vote. >> this is where we're at right now. so let's do what we can to get him in office. >> i'm very worried that he is going to have a less than delightful showing and i think that he's the democratic party has made it harder for him. reporter: harder for him but opens up the only chance for biden's opponents like williamson who has been reaching out to voters here for years. but none may benefit more than dean phillips who is a long shot but also perhaps the best shot

any democrat has for derailing biden. he is drawing people including a past weekend crowd. after a bumpy start, phillips now touts his rejection of p.a.c. money and including reform in housing. >> best and better americans in the white house. reporter: he is blunt about biden. >> how can anyone determine he is anything but weak. reporter: it is working with some of the young. >> i think every campaign has to start with an individual voter. reporter: this man was considering voting for haley. >> i would vote for dean phillips. >> is that a wasted vote? >> i don't. i still stick to that and vote

for who you want to support. >> all of this is one question in january about november. >> the two most disliked politicians in america, trump and biden. reporter: if the u.s. is away, someone else must have a very big night like phillips or haley. >> on tuesday, if she does not win here, it is all over. reporter: one more day that could set the direction. one factor are independent or undeclared voters in new hampshire. over 40% of registered voters are undeclared and can vote in the republican or democratic primary. they don't like to be told who is going to win. geoff: the republican side, what do they say she needs to win tonight? reporter: haley and her campaign didn't think they could pull out

a win. but now, when i talk to them they want a strong second place. the margin matters a lot. she has to gain momentum out of this state and build something in her own home state, which is next. geoff: president biden isn't contesting new hampshire and gives a long shot to williamson and phillips. what are you hearing from their campaigns? reporter: this is an extraordinary situation where president biden has these challenges of his own making by blocking the new hampshire primary going first and coming off the ballot. voters who want to vote for him. the new hampshire ballot. look at the long list of names who have qualified for people. at the bottom, people have to write in joe biden.

the secretary of state does have parameters where it doesn't have to be exactly joe biden but those reading the ballot have to believe that they could be president biden but there are challenges not of president biden and democrats' making and there was a robocall that nbc news got today and joe biden manipulated telling them they shouldn't show up to the polls at all. joe biden underperforms here and dean phillips at the same time seems to be getting bigger and bigger crowds and one of the few surprises seen overflow crowds for him. and another strange thing, maybe not so strange, voters are choosing between phillips and haley. what do they have in common? they don't want it to be a trump

biden match. geoff: tomorrow night, live coverage at 11:00 p.m. eastern right here on pbs. stephanie: "newshour" west. israeli forces deepened their forces in southern gaza. they stormed one hospital and arrested medical stafferrers. patients powered into this third site and the facility is overwhelmed and close to collapse. >> with the expansion of ground operations we received many of the injured. there is no space for them and the siege has made delivery of medical aid difficult.

it will be hard to operate two, three days to operate with available resources. stephanie: the u.s. and british militaries have carried out air strikes against houthi rebels in yemen and the group attacked a military group. separately on sunday, u.s. authorities called off officers for two navy seals. chambers and ingram were lost at sea on a mission to confiscate weapons bound for the houthis. restrictions that afghan women face. access to work, health care and travel have been curbed tore single women and those without a male guardian. the report says enforcement measures involving physical violence are dangerous for

afghan women and girls. in india, the prime minister are built on a temple. it's located and dedicated to the behind you god. today's ceremonies were seen as a political victory who was seeking a third term in office. >> january 22, 2024 is not a date written on the calendar. but the dawn of a new era by breaking the mentality of slavery, a nation is standing up. standing up. this is how new history is created. stephanie: a landslide in a remote village in southwest china. two were rescued. 500 people were evacuated.

rescue crews are searching for survivors. the supreme court will hear an appeal this fall from an oklahoma death row inmate, glossip was sentenced to death for a murder for hire. the court agreed today to let federal border patrol agents to cut razor wire. the state installed it along a 30-mile stretch near eagle pass. the biden administration sued to stop it. and thousands of faculty in the california state university system walked off the job today. the union is seeking a 12% pay raise for 29,000 members. it is the large university faculty strike in u.s. history. two passings of note, dexter

women's most winningest women's coach. >> in the west from the walter kon cite school of arizona university. >> and the republican presidential field is a two-person race after florida governor ron desantis dropped out. democrats have to navigate a ballot that will be missing president joe biden. i'm joined by our politics monday duo, amy and tamara. tam, kick us off, republicans are kicking the ring, governor desantis dropped out of the race and endorsed donald trump, what does it say to you?

>> the desantis campaign started with so much promise but from the moment it launched it was troubled. he launched on x, the social immediate ya site formerly known as twitter. it was a technical disaster and his campaign burned through cash and relied on an outside superp.a.c. it may not work that well and burned through campaign managers and super p.a.c. heads and it was a failed campaign. but the big theory here was finding a message that actually worked with this republican electorate he said he was trump without the baggage and enough republican voters don't care about the baggage.

>> he had a lot of support and a lot of money this is after he won big in the mid-terms. what happened? >> tam summed it up pretty well, he just never found a message that was going to resonate with a electorate that still likes donald trump. there were a lot of problems with his campaign. but a lot of it is about the republican party and who republican voters are. if you get republican establishments, the elite class, the donor class, they want anybody but donald trump. and that disconnect has been apparent since 2016 and for all the money and all the effort that a lot of those folks giving him money wanting to believe

this is the formula you unseat donald trump, the problem as one republican strategist said to me early on, that idea of trump without the baggage, he was trump-like and they didn't want the diet version. >> what does this mean. you are in new hampshire, two-person republican race. we have a new poll from mammoth that shows while haley picked up support but hasn't closed the gap. 52% would choose would pick trump compared to 34%. where do desan antonio ties'' voters go? >> and more of a trump candidate. people who support ron desantis

didn't necessarily want to stop trump at all costs. many of those voters are going to go to trump. desantis endorsed him and rallying behind him. and going back to 2016 and now 2020 for his rivals are up on stage with him, rallying with him on rallies in the state. for nikki haley, for ron dropping out doesn't help her out. it does give her that two-person race and provides clarity about the state of the republican party and trump alternative. that is new hampshire and independent voters can vote in the republican and i have spoken to left-leaning republican

voters who would be democrats but they are registered independents and will be supporting and can't vote in a republican primary. >> there aren't enough of them. if you look at the poles -- polls, she is doing well but not as well among that republican vote. it could make the margins smaller. a bunch of people are coming to vote that pollsters didn't pick up on. in 2008, polls suggested that barack obama was going to win in new hampshire. that didn't happen and hillary clinton won. trump is still ahead. but for haley, this is a do-or-die state. the state is taylor-made. for her not to win i think would

be the beginning of the end of the candidacy. >> the incumbent president's name is part of a write-in campaign and not on the ballot. they go first even though the d.n.c. changed the rules. but i want to talk about the message that we are hearing from the biden administration. today is the 51st anniversary of roe v. wade. and here is part of a new ad. >> i think donald trump bears responsibility for these restrictive laws. we need leaders that will protect our rights and not take them away. >> there are 12 states where abortion is or could be on the ballot this fall. is this a potent force as the biden campaign wants it to be? >> i can't predict or how

potent. and vice esident harris is launching multi state tour where she is talking about reproductive rights and starting in wisconsin where a supreme court race was decided because voters cared about this issue and there was restrictive abortion ban on the books. and tomorrow, the president, president vice president, second gentleman and first lady will be in virginia and where it was a major issue. this is going to be a centerpiece of the biden campaign and frame it as a freedom issue and say it's not just about one health care procedure, it's about supreme and moving it in with other things like gun safety and the big issues of democracy we have seen biden talking about

already. >> what was interesting, she makes the connection between donald trump and the choices he made putting many of the current justices onto the supreme court and the restrictive laws like texas where she is from. in 2022, democrats were effective making the individual republican candidate out of step and showing what those candidates had said about abortion access and restrictive views on the issue. but it wasn't about donald trump in 2022. what the biden cam pain needs to do is make that connective tissue between donald trump and issue of freedom and abortion access. >> and trump helped them and claimed credit the day after that and they were quite pleased to have that video in their arsenal.

>> thanks for joining us. geoff: as the war in gaza nears four months since october 7 hamas attacks in israel, the debate has become even starker around 130 hostages still held and a world outraged at the death total and clear disagreements with washington as the israeli prime minister says he'll stay the course. reporter: israeli politics is a contact sport, the families of hostages held in gaza erupted. >> i ask you if these were your children, what would you have done. reporter: hostage families are

challenging the government outside of prime minister netanyahu's house. and the debate is now inside israel's war cabinet. a war cabinet observer and former army chief. in december, his son was killed fighting in gaza. he promised to make the right decisions for those who sacrificed. he criticized netanyahu and said the best way to release the hostages was a ceasefire. >> it is impossible to return the hostages without a deal and whoever is selling lies to the public, then he is selling lies. no other way to put it. >> netanyahu has rejected any deal to stop the war and uncover hamas tunnels that had hostages including this one.

>> i reject the hamas monsters. only total victory will return our hostages. >> the u.s. officials say there are negotiations over a longer pause with the return of all of the hostages. there is a longer term netanyahu disagreement with the u.s. on friday, president biden reiterated said israel security would be guaranteed by a two-state solution. but over the weekend netanyahu made clear at least publicly that is exactly what he said. >> my insistence prevented the palestinian state. as long as i am prime minister, i will stand by it. >> it is the president's view that the two-state solution. >> national security spokes man

john kirby, put the onus on israel. >> going to require leadership ol israel and require leadership there. >> the debates over the best way tore release the hostages, we get two views, retired brigadier general, a 25 year career in the leaders of the group commanders for israeli security. and a defense force and strategic studies. thanks for both of you. welcome to the "newshour." what is the best way in your opinion to get the release of the hostages currently in gaza? >> the best way is clearly not the way that we are trying to do it now, which is guided by some theory of total force, force

only, no diplomacy, no political direction and the more we apply force at the moment, not that we shouldn't do it that is causing the hostages to wilt and be in greater jeopardy. we need to create a deal that will include stepping down, stepping back or doing whatever it takes to do a deal that will have a political dimension to it. >> do you agree, that israel should do whatever it takes to do a deal? >> we must fight to defeat hamas because they actually bringig a threat to israel. and we cannot focus ourselves only on the other mission to

release the hostages. we are working both sides with peaceful efforts, not just and yet the offer was put on the table is in my eyes a kind of unconditional surrender of israel. >> what about that, the israeli government is both pursuing a military option to pressure hamas and being willing to pursue this diplomatic path that it is considering a longer pause for the release of hostages? >> the more we apply force, they will be in a last-stand type of mindset and get in the last-stand kind of mind-set, it will kill all the hostages.

the other option they would be willing to secure a secure exit and in that case they would use the hostages and the logic of that situation suggests we should go for a deal as quickly as we can and if it requires a ceasefire, whatever it is, do it now, there is a deal. >> is that right could military pressure lead to the death of the hostages? >> everyone is aware of that. we cannot ignore it. there is a sign in terms of israel, we cannot permit ourselves not to defeat hamas in that occasion. and release the hostages. we are struggling to defend the

israeli existence. this is the main goal of the war. >> let's look beyond today, who do you believe should run gaza after the war ends? >> ultimately, a palestinian environment and palestinian population and if anybody is going to lead it it will be a palestinian party one kind or another. what the world is telling israel, the world being the united states, europe, saudi arabia, jordan, egypt and more are telling us, yes, it needs to be a palestinian entity and needs to be rolled up with the palestinians in the west bank, i. e, the palestinian authority. >> who do you think should run gaza? >> israel should really support gaza a kind of state. and we are expecting and we have

the right to expect that this state will be in alliance with israel and not an enemy. right now the palestinian authority is israel. they are supporting a terrorist weakened -- [indiscernible] that united states really insisted that gaza will stay completely under palestinian hands. ok. but not palestinian authority. i don't believe in the promise of president biden that he change the entity and the character of the palestinian authority. >> what about those criticisms that the palestinian authority has incited palestinians towards violence, is corrupt and

unpopular among palestinians in the west bank already? >> i agree with the description but i don't accept it. the germans and japanese were the devils and egypt was out to destroy. and some kind of future and maintain tremendous power and security control for a long time and require demill ta rizzation for a long time and things can be moved. >> there are some who criticize netanyahu based on personal decisions trying to extend his prime ministership opposed to national security, what do you think? >> we are in a time of war and leading our nation in a complicated war. i don't believe soldiers would

sacrifice their lives for a personal interest of netanyahu. they are struggling for something much more subject lime than a political interest of somehow. so i don't believe in it. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> medicaid recipients had to prove their eligibility each year to renew their coverage but stopped during the covid pandemic and for three years recipients have been continuously enrolled but it has ended in april and 15 million people have been disenrolled. deputy director on the program of medicaid and the uninsured.

what accounts for the 15 million disenrollments. are they forgetting to re-enroll or something else in play? >> because states kept people on the medicaid program for three years during the pandemic, there are a number of people who had changes in circumstances, gotten a job, increased hours and because of that increase in income are no longer eligible. but we know there are a lot of people who are losing coverage for what are called procedural or paperwork reasons and this is a situation in which the state is disenrolling someone even though they don't have information to confirm that the person is still eligible. >> who is most affected by that and what about children covered by medicaid, how are they

affected? >> we are seeing disenrollments among children. the assumption was higher, that there would be fewer disenrollments. and only have data from 23 states and broken out by age, children account for nearly 40% of all disenrollments. and nationally that translates to 5 million children losing coverage. >> when people lose coverage, what is at stake here? >> they are losing access to medical care and many people on medicaid are dealing with a chronic health conditions or mental health issues for which they need ongoing medication and treatment and particularly for kids, that could mean losing

access to medications to control adhd or help with autism or diabetes. and losing medication coverage even for a short period while someone is trying to get re-enrolled can lead to lapse in care and people not getting medications or see a doctor that can help them control whatever health care issue they are dealing with. >> there is a wide range of disenrollment. 61% in texas and 13% in maine and oregon, why is that? >> there are a lot of different factors at play here, some of it has to do when states started disenenrolling people and some started earlier than others. some states have taken greater states to ensure that people who

are still eligible remain on the program. one thing that states are required is to conduct ex-partye reviews and they see if an individual qualifies for medicaid before providing forms and other documentation. states that have higher ex-parte have lower rates because they remeu people without asking people to take action which can be burdensome or lead to problems with people not receiving notice in the mail or not gathering the documents. >> if they have been properly disenrolled, what can they do?

>> contact their medicaid agency as quickly as possible. this can be difficult in many states because there are long wait times for many call centers when people try and get through. but my advice is to stay patient and continue to try and get through to the medicaid agency. if not that, there are community-based organizations and entities called navigators and enrollment assist tosser to help people complete the enrollment process or challenge if they think they have been improperly disenrolled. >> thanks for your insight. we appreciate it. >> thank you.

>> the head coach of the stanford women's basketball team made history as she is the winningest coach in women's basketball history bypassing coach k. and won 38 games at stanford. and three national championships in 2021 and led the u.s. team to owe limb fer limb pick goal. to discuss the impact van dear veer has had .

actual accomplishment of a league. >> that was the atlanta games in 1996, a lot of pressure. and took a year sabbatical from stanford to coach that dream team. in 19992 the women's team won the bronze medal. home olympics in atlanta. and the future of women's professional basketball. there were two leagues that came out of it. and one of them exists to this day, wnba. another huge piece of title 9. you can then become a make money and secure a victory. >> we saw that a new broadcast in the ncaa and most of that

deal, most of that deal is made up of women's basketball games, what does that say to you? >> if anyone who has watched kaitlin clark and selling out every arena like an every day harlem globe trotter. and l.s.u. winning against iowa, the tv ratings were close to the men's. and also and then the fact that it was really a couple million short of what the men had. here we are, and second 50 years of title 9 and the naig is falling in love what it has created, the girl next door and the support is there. and for years we knew that march

madness, the title that was given to the men's game wasn't being used for the women's game. that changed and women are get iing their due and contracts and fans and in conjunction with everything else. all the pieces of the puzzle showing how much the country is falling in love with women's basketball and women stars that we have watched grow up in our neighborhoods. >> a great time for the coach and congratulations. always great to talk to you. >> thank you. geoff: the executive director of the dream project dedicated to supporting students.

as a former undocumented student, she says she saw firsthand the barriers that prevent immigrant students from realizing their dreams. her take on dreamers pursuing higher education. >> i was five years old when we moved here. as a small child i knew i was undocumented and because we were undocumented and couldn't go back to bolivia. and wasn't until high school there were other ramifications for my status. being undocumented in high school. i was 2010 and in virginia, there was no in-state tuition offered to undocumented students. the dream act was a legislative

bill that offered a pathway to citizenship for children. it was introduced in 2001. it still had not passed. i was a strong advocate and i was on the senate floor. >> motion to concur to h.r. 5281 dream act. >> other dreamers had come from texas, california, from states all across the country and massive group of college-aged students. we were strangers and we were holding hands. that's 15 votes. 35r votes. as we kept going it became apparent it was not going to pass. >> the motion is not agreed to. >> we were in shock. no legislative relief and we have to figure it out. and we started talking about what we could do.

with the support of our families started the dream project the nonprofit that i'm the executive director of and we could start a program that offers scholarships for students. our parents would do bake sales, dinners. the first year, the dream project raised enough money to give out four scholarships to four seniors. the organization has grown a lot. and giving out 100 scholarships and have students pursuing masters' programs, meed school and law school and giving them a chance can bring them. education is a great equalizer. young americans are headed and thousands will be undocumented. the students we all have amazing academic backgrounds and involved in their school
