an immediate cease-fire. [cheers and applause] for a haste of the next six weeks, which is what is currently on the table. >> carley: this comes as hamas rejected complete list of hostages still live resulting in israel boycotting because of the talks in -- and refuses to provide clear answers and therefore, there is no reason to dispatch the israeli delegation. meanwhile, a wall street general poll shows 40% of americans think israel is response to hamas is too far. 19% say not far enough, 24% say just right and 15 percent didn't know or refuse to answer. so some pretty interesting numbers there guys. >> carley: and one of the reasons the vice president made those comments his concerns over this push for democrats to vote uncommitted. we saw it in michigan and expected to see more tomorrow on

super tuesday. >> correlate the left-wing organization of the country is protesting biden's handling of israel/hamas ahead of super tuesday. the vote supports the party but not one particular canada on the ballot. and said in the statement "endorses on committing and remaining democratic presidential primaries." until the administration and support for israel's in gaza and delivers a permanent and lastin, joe biden will bear the responsibility for another trump presidency. take a look at what the democrats have to say about this move. >> there are efforts on uncommitted in california and a number of other super tuesday states in wisconsin. >> is it significant? the president is winning overwhelmingly. >> michigan is a purple state and i've said that for a long time. >> we are a state that frequently votes uncommitted. president biden got a significant limit of a vote and

2012. i'm hearing about uncommitted voters in michigan. the president has work to do there, certainly. >> also tweeted trump will beat biden unless he chooses to listen to the working class of the country and change course and refer to the uncommitted turnout in michigan, guys, back to you. >> carley: ashley strohmier, thank you. as we mentioned, tomorrow is super tuesday and a total of 874 delegates up for grabs as voters in these 15 states plus american head to the polls to cast their votes in the 2024 presidential primary. nikki haley headed to the first day of the first primary victory after taking washington, d.c., last night. the g.o.p. delegate count now looks like this, 244 president trump, 44 nikki haley but despite trump's massive lead, nikki haley says she's in the race for the long haul and will not support the nominee if she loses. >> who are no longer bound by that pledge? >> no, i will make what decision

won. but republican candidates who have been in this office for a while speaks volumes. how important his school choice to the voters of texas? >> i'm so glad you asked. you know school choice is a top priority for me and same as it is for governor abbott. i am for parents having the liberty to choose what is best for our children. right now, those options are only available to a select few. but i do think that the choice that we have that is even bigger than school choice and when i've been traveling around this district and what people are talking about is the border. we have a massive amount of illegal immigrants pouring into our communities, and we have to do something to stop that. >> trey: but with that said it might feel like at least on the border, most texas republicans i would imagine if this take them and please correct me are growing at the same direction appear that is why the school choice issue seems so striking

that you would have republicans going against the governor when you think most republicans are for school choice. why do you think those are the republicans including the one you are going against and the primary tomorrow voted against school choice? >> that, you know, the reason they are going against school choices is because they are against parents. overwhelmingly to the last primary we had a proposition that says the support for choice, we voted at least 85% in this district that we wanted school choice, we wanted the money to follow our child. they are career politicians and not the way they are constituents would like them to vote. >> todd: stormy, if i'm a parent in another state not texas, why should i care about the outcome of your race and the other 15 races where there are republican challengers on this

main issue? >> well, school choices about empowering parents and enabling them to provide the toughest education possible. we, as legislators, have the obligation to represent the people that put us in office. as long as you elect somebody that is doing those things, then we will get school choice in texas. >> todd: stormy bradley, we will watch the outcome of the race tomorrow. keep us posted and thank you for joining us early on a monday morning. former border chief making shocking admission about the border crisis. watch. >> i've never had one conversation with the president or the vice president for that matter. and so, i was a chief of the border patrol. i commended 21,000 people. that is a problem. >> todd: i would say so. it will look at joe concha's response to that, blockbuster. >> carley: blockbuster for several reasons. did you see this? take a look.

there is a crisis. >> good morning carley and todd. republicans have been pushing the president to use executive authority on the border. even democrats signaled they would be open to that action. he signed a flurriy of them shortly after taking office in 2021. several of which were on immigration to reverse former president trump's policies. so critics say why not use that option again now? >> look, the current president of the united states is carrying out a lawless regime. they are doing it an all these you just talked about it's border or ignoring the student loans in the supreme court he said it. he is doing it in the fine lane. >> the biden administration reporting weighing some executive action. unclear what that looks like. whatever the president does unilaterally will likely be met by legal road blocks. >> we consider options at all times. that's the responsibility of good government. but, an administrative action is no substitute for an enduring solution. when we take draven actions, as

we have done, a number of times, we are challenged in court. legislation is the enduring solution. >> the administration is continuing its push for congress to act. a bipartisan bill that included stricter provisions at the border failed to pass the senate last month after several republicans opposed it. and the president is leaning into that issue trying to place the blame on the g.o.p. during a trip to brownsville, texas last week. a fox news poll shows 81% of voters blame congress for what is happening at the border and 72% blame the president. giving some credence to the white house's strategy. this is still a major political liability for the president with 41% of voters saying the situation along the southern border is an emergency, up from 34% in december. adding to all of this, the former chief of u.s. border patrol says he never spoke with president biden during the nearly two years he served under him. >> i have never had one conversation with the president or the vice president for that

matter. and so, i was the chief of the border patrol. i commanded 21,000 people, that's a problem. >> chief raúl ortiz retired in may 2023. carley and todd? >> carley: let's bring in joe concha. chief ortiz was border patrol chief when there were 15,000 haitian migrants under the bridge in del rio. also the chief during the false whipping allegation. so the lack of communication there is notable. also notable i would like to get your thoughts on both of these things is "60 minutes" covering this illegal immigration crisis when under the trump administration, i'm sure a segment like this would have been accused of being anti-immigrant. >> joe: all great points, carley. welcome to the party, pal, as far as "60 minutes" getting to this story three years into this administration. guys, this is absolutely devastating.

and that ain't high hyperbole to this biden harris campaign. it will be fascinating in the most crap tastic ways to hear karine jean-pierre handle that question when she is asked about it. look, as we just saw, joe biden and kamala harris over and over again have said that the crisis that is a catastrophe at the u.s. southern border they take it very seriously. how could you possibly take this crisis seriously when you haven't spoken to the border patrol chief for more than two years? and the fact that, you know, this was shared on "60 minutes" to your point, carley, absolutely got the attention of the white house communications team. because they can't just point to some sort of right wing media conspiracy when cbs news is anything but right wing. make no mistake, the border and immigration will decide the 2024 election. and if this election were held today, donald trump would win by an electoral land slide based on the numbers we have been seeing over the last couple of months, todd. >> todd: more numbers now.

46% of hispanic voters favor trump compared to the 40% who support biden. joe, in the 2020 election, biden beat trump with hispanics by 21 points. you are the messaging expert. what does it say about this biden administration that they completely misread the room as to what their open border policies would mean to hispanics? i think they thought this gets us 100 percent of the hispanic vote and the hispanics are saying we don't like this, joe. >> joe: 27 point swing. it really is incredible, todd. my relatives came by way of spain and by way of cuba. they came here legally through new york. and i can only imagine what many hispanics are thinking and feeling as far as seeing their jobs that they once had being taken away to cheaper labor by people who are not supposed to be here or entered the country

illegally. they see sanitation and education and police forces being cut because the budgets can't handle all these illegal migrants in places like new york city. so the money is being allocated to them instead of to the communities that they help build. so that is exactly why that number is where it is. and it's exactly why, again, if this election were held today in places like georgia, arizona, nevada, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, that donald trump would win those states because the hispanic and black vote is either more and more either switching to donald trump or they are just going to stay home or vote for a third party candidate, guys. >> carley: the president is taking it slow this week as he prepares for his state of the union address on thursday. he is going to be at camp david until tomorrow with no public events on his calendar today. then he's going to deliver the state of the union before a couple campaign events heading into the weekend. then he is back at the white house on sunday. then we just got some new information address that came

out within this hour. white house communications director ben la bolt says they are just not going to be relying on the president to deliver their message. they're also going to be standing out aggressively and sending people -- sending senior officials to the white house -- the senior officials will be there and then people from radio and tv will be doing interviews with them. could be a good strategy but it also could be some people may make the argument that they are relying on other people to deliver the president's message for him, just that 10 seconds remaining to you, joe. >> joe: he should be on a media tour instead he will be i guess today is a vacation. this whole presidency has been a vacation. this looks horrible, this schedule but it always seems to look horrible. is he not working hard for the american people it's just that simple. >> todd: kjp is going to be saying he is prepping. he has been prepping for a while. >> steve: or
