We have previous tests in the spring of 2019. if you look at the comparisons of what kids did in the math test in 2019-2022, it is remarkably different. there was a great fall off an average performance of students and it erased actually 20 years of gains in terms of student performance. that 20 years is really costly to both the students and to the economy. >> ainsley: server, we just showed the numbers. we got the nations report card back in october, the report card. reading down three points,...

Longer, i hang on, i am embarrassing the institution, and embarrassing the party and embarrassing the process here. >> i think that we will look back at the second vote as the ego vote for jim jordan. the math is not going to g get there for kevin mccarthy, and this is the vote for jim jordan knowing that the math is not there yet for kevin mccarthy, and the move of these centrists has not happened yet to say to kevin mccarthy that we need to look elsewhere. >> can they then get jim jordan to go...

>> is there anybody else who you would vote for if the math is not going to get there for you, do you switch some>> no. absolutely not. im with the group of 200 who are supporting mccarthy, the person thats worked harder than anyone else to be in this country and whos traveled the country. we wouldnt even be in the majority if mccarthy wasnt working so hard across the country help candidates like myself get through the finish line in november. >> well, i appreciate your time, congressman, thank ...

I am not great at math but even i know those numbers are not good for kevin mccarthy. what is going on? >> the opposition against kevin mccarthy is strengthening. it happened on the second ballot. on the first ballot we saw five candidates nominated. and on the second ballot they consolidated behind jim jordan, and thats the opposition, its not fracturing but formalizing. this is why kevin mccarthy doesnt have a pathway in this scenario. your conversation with claire earlier is important. how do...

0 >> john: doing the same thing and team 56 repeated over again, we could be here and march doing the same thing. we will see if there is anyway kevin mccarthy could convince the naysayers to come over to his side put i think there is two or three that will never switch. >> sandra: jim jordan made his best effort pitch the house for a moment ago. thank you for joining us, everyone in our coverage will continue. >> martha: thank you. continuing coverage here. im martha maccallum live in our natio...

Like there is going to be. >> mark, should democrats be dismayed at that assessment? obviously, there was a coordinated message. there were legislative victories, there is the reality that republicans ran bonkers candidates. herschel walker was a bonkers candidate, so was mehmet oz, so was doug mastriano, so was don bolduc. one would think that republicans wont do that again, so what should democrats take away from their victories in the last election? >> there is a very clear glass half empty v...

Would imagine for them a stumble out the gate. also curious what the president may say about all of this. is he due back from the virgin islands a little bit later on today. he has been on vacation. if things get hesitate were he wouldnt help himself but to weigh in. >> griff: i think is he going to get out of the way. why would you intervene let them shoot each other. >> not intervene. he might take a shot at it. i think he is actually going to be going to ohio later in the week. maybe step out...

They want to make sure if mccarthy gets the speakership not just his forever. want to have checks and balances on that i understand could of power. mccarthy does have a lot of support within his caucus. important to point out he does have a majority -- not a majority but most republicans that are going for him at this point. so obviously, for him, money is on him but of course what happens between now and tomorrow nobody quite knows. >> steve: just one other question for you. that is there are a...

Those are things mccarthy can give them, but the five hard nos are a much tougher nut to crack. they may want to block mccarthy and let the chips fall where they may, let there be chaos until a consensus pick can be named. if there is not a one vote tomorrow, a single vote to select the speaker, it would be the first time in 100 years that thats been the case. thats the direction that it appears like were headed unless mccarthy can pull back room horse trading today. >> history mccarthy didnt wa...
