i want to turn it over to secretary cardona now for his comments. secretary cardona: thank you, mr. president. i share your grave concerns about maintaining access to contraception and reproductive health services on our college campuses and ensuring there's accurate, reliable information for students and for educators. students need access to health care to thrive in school and in life, and that includes reproductive health care. thank you also to vice president harris. in august we met with college leaders grappling with new sweeping restrictions to their states. our work together is ongoing. it is clear the dobbs ruling has sown fear and confusion on our college campuses. i worry about the chilling affects this uncertainty, including about access to birth control, will have on students. i think about the one in four women who experienced sexual assault in college and what this means for their safety and their well-being. i think about the college student i met in september who wasn't able to enroll until she escaped a violent abuser. access to reproductive health care is vital to

. >> well, joining me now and of course my voice is leaving, cnn commentators maria cardona and alicert. you know what, let's go to a quick break, ladies -- oh, it's back. thank you, voice. i'm only on live television on friday night. alice, to you first, abbott doesn't want to raise the age to buy assault-style rifles, and he's against red flag laws, so i want to know how this is going to sit with voters. what do you think? >> well, first of all, bless your heart, and get your voice back in order. here's the key thing we saw on this debate tonight was that governor abbott was very strong on an issue which is of top concern for people in texas, and that is taking steps to reduce gun violence. he did so by continuing to support law enforcement and work on ways that we can curve gun violence, and he focused specifically on making sure we address the mental health component of this. but he also with his experience is a former attorney general, he understands the legal issues and the legal consequences of taking too strong measures with regards to access to guns. so he's taking that into

here's what secretary cardona said when he is shown these, quoting here today's data confirm the significant impact that the prior mismanagement has had in our children's progress and academic well-being. president biden fought for the american rescue plan which included 130 billion so schools could stay open and students could get the academic and mental health support they need. our top priority remains to make sure state schools and districts are using these funds on strategies we know work, like well resourced schools. it's kind of interesting that the initial reaction is to blame the previous administration when we saw with the teachers unions across the country did the schools across the pandemic. >> what was the famous line during the mccarthy hearings? do you have no shame? what was allowed as a voice we heard during the pandemic about keeping the schools closed? it was the plea that the schools be absolutely safe and the children be protected from each other. the children were not in danger i'm a we know that now. many suspect the get then. but i said in april, april 2020, whatever

for his part, education secretary miguel cardona says his department wants to see states use money from american rescue plan to make up for lost time. bret? >> bret: mark, thank you. let's bring in fox news senior political analyst brit hume. brit, good evening. this education report, these numbers are really tough. parents have seen that, the slow down. but it's a big issue across the country. >> brit: it is, bret. it is one more issue that adds to voter discontent, as if there weren't enough of those already as the democratic party tries to climb out from under them in time for the midterms. and what you can see about this issue, as well as others is, there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the weeks remaining before the voting begins, at least before election day, the voting has already begun a lot of places, for things to change in a way that would alter the landscape for this election. if anything, it only deepens the democratic party's problems and it emphasizes, once more, that closing down the schools, which not everybody was in favor of, although it happened it was pretty

i don't like cardona, he's a smile talker, doesn't have the face for it, so that needs to change face to the lie, like, oh, yeah, we passed this in congress. >> uh-huh. >> it was just by, like, a couple of votes. >> one or two. >> just one or two votes. it was a nailbiter at the end. that's why he probably thinks he's gotten more done than any other president legislatively in the first two years, because he's making it up. >> that's really sad, greg. i mean, we're talking about half a trillion dollars here. two courts, the fact they didn't put a territory restraining order, but the eighth -- the eighth circuit board of appeals, one under the united states supreme court, did put a temporary ban on it. there's still a possibility that may be it. do you want to not answer this? >> no. i just didn't read that. i love the summary. i love the fact that debt relief is seen as something that goes away. debt relief is another person's burden. it goes to another person. why on earth would we want to forgive loans for people who hate the people who end up paying for them? that's what happens. i

experts are saying, here's a healthy alternative, it's called excellence-ism, back again with maria cardonaeds a new word. >> alisyn, correct me. i'm -- >> so glad for getting this opportunity. that's true, you haven't been, perfect 66% of republicans do not believe that republicans -- >> you're embracing excellence -ism. >> let me tell you something, i've never been burdened by perfectionism at all. or excellence-ism, i go by my own credo, it's called good enough-ism. honestly, it works like a charm, he just had to be good enough. show enough, and be good enough. i'm sometimes invited to speak to women's groups about how to balance motherhood, and work life. and women talk about this thing called mommy guilt, they feel so bad if they aren't perfect for the kids, i'm like are you giving them three square meals a day? they have a roof over their head? do you love them? we are good. it's got enough. >> i didn't hear anything and hear about social media. because i think that drives a lot of this, a lot of insecurity, and teens. >> instagram -- >> especially for young people. >> but they see th

miguel cardona. >> this is not a red and bluish you. we know what to do.said let's get our schools open right away. >> unfortunately that didn't happen, particularly in high poverty areas. 22 weeks of lost learning in high poverty areas, low poverty areas just 13 weeks. they tended to do better. i leave you with one more bleak statistic. one school in philadelphia in the inner city, in the james rhodes elementary school, 5% of students there proficient in math. the pennsylvania average, 37%. neil, as the governor pointed out, if you don't do something about this, we have failed an entire generation of students. that's going to hurt everybody. >> martha: . >> neil: it all right is. jeff flock never had a bad report card. straight as all the way through. the challenge for me, put a number in front of the decimal point and you'll be off to the races. off to the races in colorado where there's a difference in a big one between powerful republicans, whether they back the republican candidates or not. some are calling it the ron and don show. we'll explain after

. >> education secretary cardona is urging states to use money from the american rescue plan to investhelp students catch up. but there is no doubt this issue goes beyond the classroom. republicans nationwide continue to campaign heavily on education. virginia governor youngkin made the issue his top priority a year ago and today it's clear parents should be outraged. >> we must acknowledge the glaring reality that we face together, our nation's children have experienced catastrophic learning loss and virginia students are among the hardest hit. >> there are obstacles for recovery. so many school district dealing with teacher shortages and scaling back because of staffing issues. a lot of problems. no easy solutions. >> harris: it is really interesting. glenn youngkin was on the program last week talking about when he goes to help republicans on the stump, in 20 congressional candidates and governors are next on his schedule. he knows how hot a topic it is in terms of helping parents get their voice into the mix. >> we've seen it in the polls and right behind the economy, education rig

in an op-ed for "usa today" education secretary cardona criticized republicans who oppose the programg these same republican attorneys general and officials didn't file lawsuits when $58.5 billion in relief loans why given for their state's business owners, $2 trillion in tax cuts to the highest earning businesses and individuals as part of a trump tax giveaway. still, many borrowers are left wondering what's next. here is ka me camila bernal. >> reporter: this man is expecting a thirmd of his student loan to be forgiven. he's referring to president biden's student loan forgiveness program that would cover $10,000 of his student debt. because while he's been out of college for nine years, he still owes $30,000. >> i recently married. me and my wife are going to be thinking of purchasing a home. it's all of a sudden right in front of me again because i'm thinking about the kind of debt i have and i need to finance my future and get a home. >> reporter: while the administration was expected to start granting loan discharges as early as sunday a federal appeals court put a temporary admi

and just this morning on "new day" miguel cardona said they're proposing a 21% increase in the education, kate, with teacher burnout and fewer new teachers, a lot of schools are struggling to hire staff and it is only making this issue worse. >> the problem very clear. the fix much more challenging. gabe, thank you. >>> so another new concern facing kids across country. children's hospitals really all over the place. raising alarm as they are facing an overwhelming early surge in rsv infections. rosa flores is live at texas children's hospital in houstonian, the largest pediatric hospital in the united states. what are you hearing there? >> reporter: you know, kate, there is so much concern from parns around the country. here is the latest from the cdc. during a one-week period in mid-october, more than 7,000 cases were reported according to the cdc. now this only included a 9% of the population and yet the cdc said this was the most cases reported in a one-week period in the past two years. so very alarming there. according to hhs, three and four pediatric hospitals around the country,

yesterday, the education secretary miguel cardona released an op-ed in which he really likened republicans who are opposing the student debt plan to hypocrites. he said, the same attorneys general and officials didn't file lawsuits when $58.5 billion in pandemic relief loans were forgiven for their state's business owners. they didn't oppose $2 trillion in tax cuts to the highest earning businesses and individuals as part of the trump tax giveaway and didn't complain when republican members of congress got millions of dollars for their paycheck protection program loans forgiven by the federal government last year. it's only when relief is going to working and middle-class americans that these elected officials have a problem. so again here, boris and amara, no signs of backing down from the white house as they hope that this student debt cancellation that the president did by executive order helps galvanize their base specifically when it comes to young voters and young voters of color just ahead of the midterm elections. boris? >> it is a big part of their midterm message, jasmine wright,
