♪ we just got new details on where florida governor and now
6:01 am
presidential candidate ron desantis plans to campaign next week. big announcement. and policer he called 911 for help. his family says they want justice. ahead, details on the boy's condition and a planned protest in mississippi. new research suggests the pill form of drugs like ozempic would work as well and obviously without the shot. what that could mean for this whole new world of weight loss drugs. this is cnn "news central". this morning, if a tree falls in the woods on twitter but twitter doesn't work, does it make a sound? that is the question swirling around the political world as the big campaign announcement from florida governor ron desantis glitched. we have new reporting on how
6:02 am
husband campaign is dealing with all this this morning. yes, he got into the race in a way no one has, yes, he raised a million bucks in an hour but also earned tough reviews when his conversation with elon musk on twitter wouldn't start for 25 minutes. the complete failure to launch, a mistake, and then he got a one word tweet from donald trump jr., disaster. our new poll shows ron desantis trails donald trump by a large margin but is clearly one of the top two choices for the vast majority of republican voters so he has a lot to work with and a lot of money. let's get to the latest with steve. what are desantis insiders saying this morning about what happened and what they need to do to fix it? >> reporter: john, i talked to a fund-raiser for desantis last night who said they were
6:03 am
laughing it off in the room and they are ready to get to work and raise money and help to get governor desantis elected. in the lobby of the four seasons in miami where he's holding donor gatherings today. people are wearing desantis day one hats, decked out in desantis gear. they're seen as ready to go and putting a spin on this. reviews from outside have been brutal, eric erickson told his supporters in an email, look, this is recoverable but this is why you don't let these things get out of the hands of your campaign, especially something as important as a launch. what's interesting, in his speech when the event finally got going, there wasn't really a vision that desantis laid out for what america would look like under a president desantis. it was very much a criticism of president biden and the gop under donald trump. however, when he spoke to fox
6:04 am
news later that evening, he did lay out what he would do on day one, this is what he said. >> i would not keep chris wray as the director of the fbi, there would be a new one on day one. i think the doj and fbi have lost their way. i think they've been weaponized against americans who think like me and you. >> what's your immigration plan for legal and illegal immigration? >> day one, it's a national emergency. we'll mobilize all resources to construct the border wall, shut the border down. >> reporter: so now desantis will take that message onto the road. he is expected to hold events in all the early nominating states next week. he'll start off with the kickoff event in iowa on tuesday and then hold events in new hampshire and south carolina, john. >> look at that itinerary there. iowa the first stop and considered really a must win for
6:05 am
ron desantis. steve contorno great to see you this morning. thanks so much. every hour matter that from house speaker kevin mccarthy this morning as we are one week away from possibility defaulting on the country's debt and the house is expected to recess today without a deal in place on the debt ceiling. representatives will be send home this afternoon for the memorial day holiday and will only be called back 24 hours ahead of a vote. even if the two sides were to come to an agreement, lawmakers need to write a bill, give lawmakers 72 hours to read it, pass it in both chambers, and then get it to the president. kevin mccarthy just arrived on capitol hill and our lauren fox spoke to him. what did he say? >> he said he directed his team to work 24/7 and he argued every single hour is going to matter as they move forward with the negotiations. he's optimistic that they can
6:06 am
get a deal, he said they felt very good after more than four hours of negotiations at the white house yesterday. he also said that they continued to work well into the evening yesterday, trying to come together on some of those major remaining sticking points, including how much the federal government is going to spend over the next several years, there's still work to do, though, he said. and he is hoping that they can get there by that june 1st deadline. he noted to me he believes that's the deadline, despite the fact that some conservatives are arguing that perhaps janet yellen is playing games with the time lines, he said if she said said that's the date that's what they're working under. lawmakers are going home, he reiterated to me he wants to give his members three days to read the legislation, then it has to go to the floor, then the senate, we are getting down to crunch time right now and that is what's making a lot of
6:07 am
people, including the markets, nervous. >> i don't want to use the 14th amendment, but what i am saying is, if it's a choice between a catastrophic deal for the american people either through default or these awful spending consults, then i think the president would have to go to using his unilateral authority to raise the debt ceiling. >> reporter: and one of the challenges is going to not just be for kevin mccarthy and the republicans, but also new democratic leaders who are going to have to get their members on board. you heard from a progressive who has a lot of concerns about what deal is shaping up right now they need to get votes on both sides to pass this through the house of representatives that's the challenge for both republicans and democrats. >> it's not just yellen pointing to june 1st, it' the x date.
6:08 am
lauren fox, thank you. what will happen if the white house and gop don't come to a deal by next week. it's unclear since it's never happened before. we 'in uncharted waters here on the loans over paying people but that pegs the question can the government's payment systems handle picking and choosing which bills to pay? janet yellen has said that's not operationally feasible. why so much focus is on june 1st, it's important to note interest payments on the debt aren't actually due until june 15th. so the treasury department has a little wiggle room here. if the u.s. can continue paying bills through the middle of june it likely will not default unti
6:09 am
available. in the meantime the treasury has not said how it will pay bill or issue ious. before any of that happens, the u.s. got slapped with a new warning. overnight one of the top credit rating agencies, fitch, put the u.s. on a rating watch negative. making clear this man-made political crisis has put the country on the verge of losing the triple a credit rating. the last major debt debacle in 2011 led to the unprecedented first ever downgrade to the united states from s&p. christine romans is here on this. this is something you and i talk about all the time. a watch negative, what does it mean? >> it means if they don't do it exactly right. the u.s. is going to lose the triple a credit rating and that will make it more expensive to
6:10 am
borrow money and there are financial contracts, they are required to have a triple a credit market. and there's a discussion also about whether the u.s. deserves a triple a credit rating if we tiptoe over that line and have an unintentional breach of not paying our bills because the bipartisan problem in washington is a feature, no longer a bug, so is that really are we worthy of a triple a credit rating overall? >> that's terrifying and horrible. >> yes. >> also new data out this morning, giving another picture of where the economy stands, let's set aside what's going on with the debt crisis. >> it's remarkable, the backdrop of the u.s. economy is still strong. you look at weekly jobless claims, 229,000. last week was revised lower. these are lower than
6:11 am
pre-pandemic levels. you've been hearing about layoffs and concerns from ceos but they're not executing it outside of tech and maybe media. you have low layoffs overall. and first quarter gdp up 1.3%. slower than the fourth quarter, which was strong but this is a stronger reading than the initial reading from the government, and one of the reasons, consumer spending continues to come in strong, so consumers say they're concerned about a potential recession, inflation, but they're still spending their money, they really are. so we have a strong basis -- >> add these two things together. things are -- i'm not going to say turning a corner. we have to see -- >> resilient. say resilient. >> things are looking resilient, yet we're going to run ourselves off a cliff by a completely manufactured crisis. >> completely irrational and possible. you're right. there will be a recession, if you -- even if you don't technically default and
6:12 am
defaulting on our debt would be not paying interest payments, not paying interest. say you make all those payments on time without any glitches in the plumbing of the treasury system. say that happens you give an iou to a senior citizen. there are payments that wouldn't be flowing in the economy, which would be choking off the economy, which would then cause a recession. >> collective deep breath. >> i know. >> thanks for doing this. today the leader of the far right group, the oath keepers, will be sensed to his actions tied to the january 6th insurrection. prosecutors wanted between 10 and 25 years. ahead of the sentencing multiple officers and capitol staffers recounted what happened that day. christopher owens told the judge my physical scars and bruises have healed by my mental trauma haunts me to this day.
6:13 am
katelynn what do we expect to see? >> reporter: this is a long awaited day for the justice bringing to justice men and women who are responsible for they say that capitol attack and with this conviction of stewart rhodes, they say they are bringing to justice the man who was the founder, leader, and organizer of one of the most significant parts of that riot on january 6th. now the oath keepers there have been 22 oath keepers convicted of taking part in a conspiracy to block that transfer of power of the presidency in 2020, but rhodes is at the top of the peer mad, another man, kelly megs, another leader, he is also to be sentenced today. and the justice department wants them to be sentenced not just for the scheme of trying to block the succession of the donald trump presidency to the joe biden presidency, but also
6:14 am
they want them to be sentenced for the planning they took part in, the fact there were many weapons that were assembled and placed in a hotel room in virginia just awaiting in case this group needed. and the justice department also wants them to be sentenced because they say they were a small army that was in tactical gear marching up the steps of the capitol in a way that lended legitimacy to what was happening that day and set an example to the rest of the rioters as the oath keepers were working together, so rhodes they're asking for 25 years in the justice department. kelly megs they want 21 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. we'll see if the justice department can get that. but the judge, he is taking into a lot of consideration many legal issues as well as all of the victimization that the oath keepers did on that day. and we know there are two victims that spoke yesterday.
6:15 am
the u.s. capitol police special agent david lazarus saying the violence the rioters brought to the capitol never ended for many of us. the trauma reached into our lives and our home. there was another senate chamber assistant virginia brown saying she remembered that day kicking off her shoes thinking i can run faster in my tights, praying to god i wouldn't encounter any insurrectionists so when the judge thinks about those s sentences today, he'll think about what was said and how much damage was done to the constitution of the united states. >> thank you so much for being with us keep us posted. kate? we'll be watching that closely today. coming up, a warning issued by microsoft after it uncovered a chinese hacking operation targeting critical infrastructure in the united
6:16 am
states. we'll have much more on that. plus the mad rush to get to memorial day weekend destinations are under way. why are we at work? millions will be headed to airports across the country and so many more hitting the roads. we'll have an update on travel plans. and much adieu about spelling. the spelling mistake that ended a "jeopardy" champ's nine game winning streakak. we'll be right back. and a futures ladder that lets you place, flatten, or reverse orders so you won't miss an opportunity.. e*trade from morgan stanley. hi, i'm jill and i've lost 56 pounds on golo. hi, i'm barry and i've lost 42 pounds. jill and i are a team. if she tells me to do mething, i usually ju on board. golo was doable, it's realistic, and it's sething we can do the rest of our lives.

a contestant's nine game winning streak on "jeopardy" end when he misspelled a word by a single letter in the final round. watch this. >> ben khan, what did you come up with? who are beatrice and benedict. unfortunately that's not correct, beatrice and benedick. how much is that going to cost you? you are left $5,199. lynn, you are our new champion. >> his spelling benedict with a t was technically a different name than benedick. according to the written rules of jeopardy, the final clue does
6:22 am
not have to be spelled correctly but must be phonetically correct. khan is going home with more than $252,000 in winnings and will be back for the tournament of champions. new research shows that pill forms of injectable drugs for diabetes work as well as the shots. no word on when the pill forms will be available but they're more effective for weight loss than any previous medicines. an 11-year-old boy calls 911 for help and then he gets shot by a responding officer. this morning he is recovering at home after he was shot in the chest by an officer responding to a domestic disturbance call that the child had place. the child suffered fractured rips and was put on a ventilator after his lung collapsed.
6:23 am
nick, how did this happen? >> reporter: the mother tells me after darian was shot he asked her what did i do wrong? why did i get shot? as he laid there bleeding out, he said he was singing gospel songs, praying. all of this unfolded on saturday morning in mississippi. when mckayla murray, said the father of one of her other children showed up at her home ie rat, she stnuck a phone to aderrien. and the mother says the police officer opened fire once, shooting him in the chest. he suffered some significant injuries had to be put on a ventilator at the hospital 100 miles away. he has been released after days
6:24 am
in the icu. he's recovering but he's, of course, been traumatized. we have reached out to the police department because this is reportedly all captured on police body cam video. the family wants to see that, they haven't seen it. we never got in touch with the police department, they never called us back after repeated attempts. the mississippi bureau of investigation did saying the body cam is not going to be released because of the ongoing investigation. the officer was identified as g greg caper and on monday evening the council voted to put him on administrative leave. i spoke to the lawyer of the family last night trying to talk to the boy, but he's too emotional to speak right now, he has several counseling sessions planned before speaking to anybody. >> kate? 42.3 million.
6:25 am
that's how many americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles this memorial day weekend. that's a lot. and also an increase. a bump up of 7% over last year and also being seen as yet another sign this summer is going to be one for the record books in terms of travel, airports especially with more people flying than before the pandemic set in. triple a said this memorial day weekend could be the busiest at airports since 2005. pete muntean is tracking all of this for us. he's in washington. i read today could be the busiest travel day of the weekend. this goes back to the important topic we discussed so many times. who has these jobs? >> people can leave early. that's the big thing. if you have the flexible schedule try to take advantage triple a says because today according to the faa will be the busiest in terms of the number of flights scheduled. 51,000 flights scheduled to depart memorial day, nationwide
6:26 am
today. the totality, wednesday to next tuesday, 312,000, but the real important thing is the tsa anticipates screening the most people of the holiday weekend tomorrow. look at the numbers we have seen so far, 2 hnt 43 million yesterday. 2.56 million on monday. both of those days are actually bigger than the same day back in 2019, before the pandemic. here's the real rub. remember the meltdowns of last summer? that started with memorial day weekend, 55,000 flights in total canceled over the summer about 2,500 on memorial day weekend, airlines insist they're ready this time around, they're right sized, right staffed. transportation secretary, pete buttigieg, said now will be the big test for the airlines. listen. >> the bottom line we want
6:27 am
everybody to have great travels this coming weekend and this summer. we're doing everything we can to press airlines to deliver that good service and if there's an issue, we have your back. >> reporter: the real issue now, though, is the shortage of air traffic controllers. that could cause big problems in the air. the faa said it's short about 3,000 controllers nationwide. two in ten jobs. we have seen staffing related slow downs in denver on sunday and monday. new cnn reporting looked into this last year at an faa facility that does air traffic control called jacksonville center it was short workers for 200 shifts over a seven week period last summer that led to 4,600 flight delays. so not just the airlines that have the pressure on them, but also the federal government. the good news here, though, watching this from the airport probably have the right idea leaving early. if you're watching from home, expect a lot of traffic tomorrow.
6:28 am
>> if you're watching in studio, expect us fob gjealous of your travel plans. >> we're working. >> you have to. i don't know how necessary i am. pete was holding out on us previously. he left out that everyone is also taking off tomorrow. >> yeah. according to pete muntean if you want to avoid the traffic, be off now until next wednesday. >> quit your job and stop working that's how you avoid the traffic. now we know. >> pete muntean told me too. u.s. officials are picking up chatter from ukrainian officials blaming each other for the attack on the kremlin. and new reaction this morning to the passing of tina turner. the impact on the legacy of strength and resilience she leaves behind. ♪ it's only the thrill ♪ ♪ opposites attract ♪ ♪ it's physical ♪

. welcome back to cnn "news central" here's a look at one of the top stories we're following this morning. house speaker kevin mccarthy said every hour matters on the talks. but we're hearing from a key negotiator who said he has no plans to go to the white house today. he did speak with white house negotiators this morning. the house members set to go home today. he did urge lawmakers to stay close to the nation's capitol over the memorial day weekend as they work on a deal.
6:34 am
new intelligence suggests that a ukrainian group may have been behind the drone attack on the kremlin earlier this month. sources say u.s. officials picked up chatter between ukrainian officials blaming each other for the incident. president zelenskyy denied the country was behind the attack. nat natasha, the nature of the discussions and what they exactly indicate to u.s. officials, explain. >> reporter: so in the aftermath of this attack on the kremlin with two drones on the morning of may 3rd, the u.s. picked up chatter speculating that ukraine was behind it, particularly from ukrainian military and intelligence officials speculating it was ukrainian special operations forces who carried out this incident. now u.s. officials also picked up chatter of russian officials speculating it was the ukrainians and also wondering how it happened. so all of this chatter put together has led the u.s. to
6:35 am
come to a low confidence assessment that it was likely a ukrainian group that carried out this attack on the kremlin. it is important to note that u.s. officials don't believe this was an assassination attempt on the kremlin because vladimir putin wasn't even in the kremlin at the time and the kremlin has said that publically. putin is rarely in that building and that's widely known. so they don't believe it was an assassination attempt as the russians alleged here and don't believe that president zelenskyy was aware of this when it happened or he was involved in it at all. so there's still a lot of open questions about who carried out the attack whether it was in any way connected to the government or a rogue ukrainian group or a pro ukrainian group inside russia. it's unclear at this point. but the russians of course saying regardless of who carried it out, kyiv, the government there, was still behind it.
6:36 am
with demi tri saying they know kyiv decided to run the attacks. >> natasha, keep us posted, thank you. right now former trump adviser steve bannon is back in court over allegations that he defrauded donors who thought they were helping to pay to build a border wall. prosecutors in new york said the campaign by bannon and others raised about $25 million. just a month ago one of bannon's associates in this was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty in the case. the new york district attorney brought state charges against bannon last year. we have more on what to expect in court today. >> reporter: good morning, kate.
6:37 am
steve bannon back in court this morning for a status conference in the case brought by the manhattan district attorney's office. they allege that steve bannon and his co-defendants defrauded donors in an effort to build the wall. he said they told donors 100% of the money would go to the construction instead prosecutors say bannon and the others took hundreds of thousands of dollars. bannon pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of money laundering, fraud and conspiracy. the judge is going to bring in bannon's attorneys because he just got new attorneys after his prior attorney resigned citing ir irreck sighable differences. so the judge is going to see where they are in terms of the discovery process for bannon's lawyers. we expect the judge to set a motion schedule and a trial date for this case.
6:38 am
it's not the only legal problems that bannon has. remember he was convicted for cop contempt of congress, sentenced to four months in prison but remains free while he's appealing that decision. >> thank you for that. the field for the republican presidential nomination is growing by the day. one of the candidates taking on trump, former arkansas governor asa hutchinson joins us next. plus microsoft warning about chinese hackers. more on the alleged targets coming up. lactaid is 100% rereal milk, just without the lactose. delicious too. just ask my old friend, kevin. nothing like enjoying a ld one while watching the game.

white house is officially one republican bigger as florida governor ron desantis kicked off his bid. joining us now is one man who hopes to best desantis for the republican presidential nomination, former governor of arkansas asa hutchinson, governor, great to see you this morning. so they say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. governor desantis kicked off his campaign last night on twitter. it didn't really work. what kind of first impression do you think it made? >> well, it didn't make the best first impression because you want that to go smooth but most importantly you want to be able to get your message out. and the message was stepped on, of course, by glitches in the announcement itself. i feel for governor desantis. he has sufficient resources to continue in this fight and to work on recovering from yesterday. so that's behind, let's look forward to the next stage of the
6:44 am
campaign, which is all the candidates being out in the early states competing in retail politics, making sure that who can be the best one to not only beat the front runner donald trump, but also who can win in november election and bring independents and suburban voters together. i think i can make the case that i'm the one that can do that. >> it's interesting, you did point out that donald trump is the front runner and the polls show that. carter p cnn has a poll out who are your first and second choices? you can see in that case you have donald trump and ron desantis just breaking away from the field. they are the clear first and/or second choice of republican voters right now and then to a certain extent it's everyone else. why do you think those two are in a group of their own? >> i think, first of all, they are competing for the same vote.
6:45 am
both president trump and also governor desantis have much of the stale, same style and that appeals to some. i think you can combine being a fighter for conservative causes with having respect for our constitution, having respect for the conservative cause, and also for our country. and so, i think as time goes on, it is very, very early. as time goes on, voters are going to focus on who can actually win in a november election and who can also help bring our country together. and who has the experience to lead on fentanyl. who has the experience to lead on our border crisis. on balancing the budget? on constraining the growth of the federal government and being a strong america? these are cases i want to bring. i like the fact we've gone up in the polls we hope to continue to rise. >> governor, it's interesting
6:46 am
you brought up the pugilistic style of donald trump and ron desantis. i was looking at a campaign you did where you lean into the idea of optimism. that's a contrast to what we've seen from the former president talking about carnage and to an extent governor desantis. why do you feel optimism is important? >> its foundation for america. whenever the america went west we did it with a spirit of optimism and realism on the challenge that was ahead of us as we went into new territory. as we fought in world war ii we did it with a spirit of optimism and conviction that we have to meet this challenge. so optimism is an important part of it but we have to understand we're at a cross roads. we are challenged as america. we are threatened by china who wants to be number one. and i'm competitive and i'm a fighter but i also believe in the spirit of america and also want our president to reflect
