we care about that. this is who it's affecting. >> on so many levels, right? it's this issue we are dealing with, but across the board it makes you wonder what we hear from people all the time when we talk to them. are those in washington hearing them? >> hopefully, they are watching. the final hour of "cnn this morning" continues right now. good morning. happy friday, everyone. maybe a long weekend for you. my husband is like, i don't have work today. what? i was like, you can go to the grocery store, you can hem my pants, go to the dry cleaner, let's see how much happens. >> he does tailoring? >> no, i want him to. >> erica hill is here with me today and next week. sources tell cnn the white house and republican negotiators are moving closer to a deal on the debt limit but a growing number of republicans and democrats are warning they might not support the agreement even if they reach

but we begin with your, hopefully, long holiday weekend. memorial day travel. airports are going to be very busy, the busiest in two decades as america bounces back from the pandemic according to aaa. o'hare in chicago, demand for flights is skyrocketing. aaa predicts 3.5 million people fly this weekend. it's up from 2019 before covid struck. pete is near the nation's capital at reagan this morning. good morning. how's it looking? >> reporter: you know, huge test for airlines, poppy. the tsa says that just yesterday we set a pandemic era air ralph record screening 2.6 million people at airports nationwide. besting the record set past friday. this is so interesting because last memorial day really kicked off this summer of meltdowns for

airlines. airlines insist this time around they are ready and we will see if that is the case this weekend. it is the start of a summer of tests for air travel with the transportation security administration planning to screen 10 million passengers between thursday and monday. the world's busiest airport in atlanta will be even busier than normal with officials there anticipating 300,000 passengers a day. >> many of us are making up for the time we lost in the pandemic. >> from tsa's perspective, we are ready. >> we are up over pre-pandemic levels. >> reporter: delta air lines says ticket sales are up 17% from last year. american airlines says it will serve 2.9 million passengers. united airlines says this will be the busiest memorial day holiday in more than a decade. >> this weekend will be a test of the system. >> reporter: transportation secretary pete buttigieg says

airlines insist they are right-sized, operating fewer flights on larger airplanes and right staffed. a cnn analysis shows the industry has hired nearly 48,000 new workers in the last year. >> we are doing everything we can to press airlines to deliver that good service. if there is an issue, we have your back. >> reporter: airlines worry it's the federal government that could cause delays. two in ten air traffic controller jobs are empty. that's 3,000 positions nationwide. this week back-to-back staffing issues in denver forced the faa to slow flights. united airlines ceo scott kirby calls air traffic control shortages his number one concern. >> that doesn't just impact those flights. that bleeds over to the whole system for the rest of the day. >> reporter: for now the faa has opened up 169 new more efficient flight routes up and down east coast. even limiting space launches to off-peak times for passengers all that matters is getting where they want to go, knowing

one snag could slow the start of summer. >> if things run smoothly, people do their jobs efficiently. then it's a great trip. >> pack your patience. come prepared. >> keeping my fingers crossed i get home without a hitch. i transportation secretary pete buttigieg underscores the top driver of delays is really extreme weather and the faa is warning today that there could be thunderstorms in florida. a huge destination. and that ground stops could be possible. the good news, no ground stops nationwide at all. just checked flightaware. 600 delays so far today, only about 68 kanslations. just heard from somebody who went through this line here at tsa. only took her about 11 minutes to get through pre-check. so pretty smooth. >> pretty good. we will take it. thanks, pete. two people working for former president donald trump moved boxes of papers at his

mar-a-lago estate the day before fbi agents came to collect classified documents last year. that's according to "the washington post," which cites people familiar with the matter. "the post" reporting investigators have come to view the timing as suspicious and an indications of possible obstruction. they add that last may, before trump received a subpoena for the classified documents, he and his team held a dress rehearsal for moving papers that he didn't want to hand over to the feds. sources also say prosecutors have evidence that trump left some classified documents out in the open and even showed them to people. those new details show a timeline and extent of obstruction than previously reported. the former president has denied any wrongdoing and claims he declassified the documents at mar-a-lago simply by removing them from the white house. also this, a judge in washington sentenced the founder of the oath keepers to 18 years in prison. this is the longest for a january 6th defendant.

the firsthanded down for that very high charge of seditious conspiracy. prosecutors argued that stewart rhodes coordinated efforts to overturn the 2020 election. they say his plotting to lead his followers to the capitol, he showed no remorse and said i dare say and i have never said this to anyone i have sentenced you pose an ongoing threat and peril to our democracy in the fabric of this country. sources tell cnn white house republican negotiators are moving closer this morning to a deal on raising the debt limit, but, and this is an important but, the calendar is not in their favor. six days left to prevent a potential catastrophic default. lawmakers are warning they may not vote for the deal. even if there is one. 35 hard line republicans have sent additional demands to speaker kevin mccarthy, including scrapping funding for new fbi headquarters and several house democrats are warning the

white house they will not support the agreement if it includes things like stricter work requirements for food stamps, medicaid and other benefits for low-income americans. christine romans is here to break it down. lauren fox is on capitol hill. lauren, let's begin with you. do things stand this morning in terms of negotiations? any moment? >> reporter: /* mochlt they are moving chosetory where they believe they could get an agreement, but like you noted the outstanding issues are many. one of them a key issue that came up last night the question about work requirements. republicans pushing very hard to include those requirements on programs like medicaid, on programs like food stamps and other social safety net programs. there is still a lot of discussion around how much money the federal government is going to spend the next several years. that is a critical piece of this agreement. we have said over and over

again, there is a question of whether or not there is going to be less spending next year than there currently is. they believe they are moving closer in the caps agreement but there still is no hard agreement at this time. we should note that they belief that they could raise the debt ceiling for potentially two years as part of any agreement, but as you noted, there is still a lot of heartburn from both conservatives and progressives who are warning that they have concerns about the shape of the deal that is coming together behind closed doors. part of this issue is that these negotiators have been working very quietly, not communicating broadly with their conference because of the sensitivity of these talks, but that's starting to create the sense that people don't know what is coming together, people don't know if they are going to be comfortable voting for it and the reality is even if they get a deal, you city have to have 218 votes out of the house of representatives. likely that's gonna come from

the middle of the republican conference, from the middle of the democracy caucus, probably not gonna come from progressives and hard-line conservatives. but you still have to quell any major rebel ian that might be forming right now because people don't feel like they have a good sense of what's going to be in this deal. erica. >> lauren, appreciate it. christine, when we look atwheree stand on this friday morning with that clock ticking, there are very serious implications here that loom. >> and signs of progress. that's important. when you look at markets, markets are saying failure is not an option, that there cannot be a debt default and they've got to get to yes somehow and one of the ways it looks like they might get to yes the white house may be offering an olive branch to republicans to redirect $10 billion of the irs funding in the inflation reduction act to cover some of the places where there are cuts in the budgets for democrats' favorite proposal. that maybe could give kevin mccarthy something to take back to his caucus.

at the same time it could anger democrats. so you're seeing some movement and i think that's what's really important in terms of the state of play of this. when i also see movement in the treasury cash balance, yesterday was $76.5 billion in the bank account we use to pay the bills. today it's fallen below 50 billion and we know the beginning of the month we have billions and billions of dollars that have to be going out the door every day. june 15th quarter tax receipts come in. there will be an infusion of cash then. but we are limping along until then unless they get it done. >> back on capitol hill, one of the potential off-ramps here, maybe a break glass measure would be the president trying to invoke the 14th amendment saying the constitution allows me to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling because we cannot default. but the administration doesn't -- seemed to take that off the table in this interview we is with the deputy treasury

secretary. >> final question on the 14th amendment. the president and secretary yellen said legally it would be very challenging to invoke, especially at this point. but if there is no deal as we approach next thursday, will the administration attempts to invoke the 14th amendment? >> the 14th amendment can't solve our challenges now. ultimately the only thing that can is congress doing what it has done 78 other times, raising the debt limit. we don't have a plan b to meet the commitments we made to our creditors, our seniors, our veterans, to the american people. the only plan is the one that's worked more than 200 years in that country, the united states of america needs to pay all of its bills and pay them on time and congress has ability to do that and the president is calling on them to act on that as quickly as possible. >> is that a no? >> so the question was whether the united states would use the 14th amendment. the president and the secretary have been clear that will not

solve our problems now. so, yes, that is a no. >> i don't think we heard them say it that definitively before, have we? if that's a no, there is no break glass plan b? >> that's right, poppy. i think this is sending a message to some of the democrats, some of the progressives on capitol hill who have been urging the administration to consider using the 14th amendment because in part they don't like the con sturs tours of the deal. they have been warning clearly to the white house that they are not going to be compelled to vote for just any deal, so to me that was really sending a clear message to democrats, the only option right now is what we are negotiating in the room. that is the only way we are getting out of this debt ceiling crisis that could come and befall this country in less than a week at this point, poppy. >> final thoughts? >> i would say the other break glass moment is a tarp-like

event. remember the bank bailout that didn't get passed, stock market tanked, they went back to work -- i am not predicting that could happen but maybe if markets forced them back to the table to do a clean increase or an increase along with maybe a commission, you know, to talk about the long-term drivers of our debt. that would be another kind of break glass moment, i think. >> we will be watching. thank you. now this. this morning a texas house committee is unanimously recommending that the state attorney general kim paxton be impeached and removed from office. this panel has been investigating allegations that paxton abused his office to benefit a multi-millionaire donor. paxton denied any wrongdoing. it's really interesting because it's so rare to have articles of impeachment invoked this way. this is republicans going after the republican a.g. in the state of texas. >> reporter: you know, you are

absolutely right. and this an adoption of 20 articles of impeachment that include constitutional bribery, dereliction of duty, disregard of official duty, misapplication of public resources. i mean, the list goes on and on. and these articles were adopted just one day after an explosive and stunning open hearing before this texas house committee made up of three republicans and two democrats that described years-long alleged wrongdoing by the texas attorney general ken paxton to help a donor in relation to a whistleblower lawsuit that ken paxton settled back in february for $3.3 million obligating the texas taxpayer, not paxton, to pay those $3.3 million. look, it's that chunk of money. that's why we're here. that's why this investigation was unleashed because the texas

house speaker, also a republican, maintained that the texas taxpayers should not be responsible for paying those $3.3 million without a proper investigation. well, the result of that investigation are the articles -- is the articles of impeachment. now, part of what this body has found is the following. take a listen. >> evidence of a dereliction of duty, a lack of transparency. specifically, a failure to disclose information that general paxton had a duty to disclose. the texas ethics commission records established that general paxton failed to report his connection to boards and receipt of various gifts. >> reporter: now, ken paxton firing back saying that all of this can be disproven, saying in a statement, quote, four liberal lawyers put forward a house to the house again investigating committee based on here say and

gossip, this process provided no rebuttal or due process. they refused to allow a senior attorney from my office to provide the facts. the articles of impeachment are house resolution 2377. it has to go before the full house of representatives. a simple majority would move this forward to impeachment court in the senate and, poppy, here is an interesting part of all of this. angela paxton is a senator in state of texas. if that last name sounds familiar, you are thinking the same. she is ken paxton's wife. it is going to be very interesting how that is handled. >> thank you for the reporting. happening overnight, russian strikes on a medical facility in ukraine as a counteroffensive begins to take shape. president biden nominating air force general charles brown to be the next joint chiefs

>> we have had an abortion policy, but they just went around congress, said we are going to do this on our own. that's not now you do things in washington, d.c. not how they are gonna do things with me with the ability to put a block and holds on their nominees. i told them that. if you do this, i'm gonna block them. so they were warned in advance but they did it anyway and but they could care less. they are trying to run, you know, this country from the white house without going through congress and i am not gonna put up with it. >> secretary austin said he believes they are on firm legal ground. joining us to discuss the tomorrow nation and more defendant is a sabrina, he said does -- this hold does apply to general brown. he wrote this weekend on op-ed no job is going unfilled. the military keeps officers in place until replacements are confirmed.

all these jobs are being done. he says not a problem, people will just keep doing what they will be doing while we wait. can the military continue to operate in that manner? >> well, thanks, erica, for having me this morning. unfortunately, i think senator tuberville has a fundamental misunderstanding how the military works. we need our general and flag officers that are senate confirmed in these positions. we can't just have our other officers fill in for roles in an acting position indefinitely. between now and the end of the year we have 650 general and flag officers up for senate confirmation. that senator tuberville put a hold on, including the chairman. joint chiefs of staff nominated yesterday by the president, general cq brown. this has an impact on our national security. when we don't have a person that has been senate confirmed in these positions that sends a message to our adversaries and allies across the world and in

the department as well. >> what is that message specifically? >> well, again, when you don't have our confirmed folks in these positions, you don't have someone in those roles that can act as the liaison with our allies across the world. and our partners across the world. we are in the middle of the ukrainian war right now. we are working to arm the ukrainians with whatever it takes and whatever we can do in their fight against russia. at the same time congress is well aware that we have the pacing challenge of trying to continue to meet every day. this is something that these general and flag officers around the world, whether it's our seventh and fifth fleet commanders to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff have to focus on. when you don't have one making those decisions that impacts our readiness and our national security. it plays right into hands of our adversaries that there is discord here in wards and here in this building. we need to present a united

fr front across the world. we have the most capable, ready fighting force in the world. sewing discord doesn't help our message abroad. >> it's interesting. senator mcconnell telling reporters he doesn't support putting a hold on military nominations, comments dismissed by senator tuberville. you brought up the war in ukraine. in terms of how they are being armed for months we heard the biden administration say, no, when it comes to f-16s and ukraine, nato allies set to provide them. what does this do for u.s. thinking? >> well, again, yesterday the secretary held the 12th ukraine defense contact group here where he con screened allies and partner nations over 50 participated that. that group is really there to help arm ukraine with what it need in this unprovoked war startedpy russia. at the end of the war we were surging supplies and capabilities to ukraine that started with stingers and

javelins. over time that started -- we as the battlefield changed we knew that we needed to adjust our capabilities that we were proing so we provided tanks add himars. now we are looking to provide longer-term capabilities which includes training for f-16s. the united states supports that. the netherlands and denmark agreed to be the leaders in that training. so the u.s. is supportive of that. again the f-16s are not something that the ukrainians will be able to use to launch their counteroffensive. as we know, they will need a strong capable air force to continue to defend not just their airspace p but their country in the long term. >> to your point, we have been hearing this is what they see as a need from the very beginning, as you point out, the training will happen. i want to get your take. florida governor ron desantis who of course is now a candidate for president was asked about the military. he is arguing it's, too, quote,

woke, a term coming to signify i am not sure what these days, but he talked about what he sees in terms of the direction of the u.s. military under president biden. take a listen. >> well, first, i think what we need to do as a veteran is recognize that our military has become politicized. you talk about gender ideology, you talk about things like global warming that they are concerned, and that's not the military that i served in. >> he says he has seen a change since president biden took office. how does the department of defense respond to that characterization? >> well, labels like that certainly further polarize our political viechlt and the military which is a nonpartisan entity. i am proud to work with men and women in uniform and civilians who are focused on the task at hand that the secretary set out, the president set out to defend the homeland, to take care of our people, to strengthen our

partners and ally reps across the world. that is what the military is focused on every day. we are not focused on labels being thrown at us from others across the aisle. we are focused on the anything which is to continue to defend the homeland and make sure that we remain the most combat capable ready military the world has ever seen. that's the focus that this building has, that the men and women that i work with every day honor and we're gonna keep doing that every day. >> appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thank you, erica. ahead, police say a 22-year-old woman from connecticut lost her leg in a shark attack in the turks and caicos. so we have an update on her condition and some warnings as people head out to the oceans. ♪tell me why♪ because it stinks. ♪have you tried downy rinse and refresh♪ it helps removove odors 3x better than detergent alone.e. it worked guys! ♪yeahhhh♪ downy rinse e and refresh. overactive bladder, oror oab, can change your world.

thank goodness. people are a little nervousen the coast, right? >> i think people are paying attention and certainly governments across everywhere from florida all the way north into massachusetts are telling people beach season has begun, summer has begun, keep in mind this is sharks' front yard and backyard they are playing in. in the rockaways, lots of surfers out here. it's low tide. we have seep dolphins this morning, but no sharks. that woman in the turks and caicos has raised alarms and concerns because it was such a bad injury. that shark took off one of her legs. these were people who were -- two people on a private boat that they were snorkeling beyond the reef and a shark, they say, may have mistaken her for a prey, but it's not clear because it took off her leg. so really, really bit in. there has been a couple of other high-profile shark attacks in the area. there was one in new jersey. they believe it was a shark

attack, a young woman was surfing and bit on the foot, and in florida a young woman was sitting in the water, the low water on the beach and a shark bit her in the stomach and arm and she was badly injured. all of them, amazingly, are expected to survive. the woman in the turks and caicos was darn lucky that boat was there and they were able to get her to medical attention almost immediately. so while she is in serious condition, her prospects look quite good. here in new york, they are going to increase the number of drones and boats across beaches in new york this summer t swimmers and beachgoers safe. back to you all. >> thank goodness. i am glad they are going to be okay. a lot of scares in a few weeks. miguel, thanks very much. appreciate it. this morning a california man is free from prison after serving 33 years for a crime prosecutors say he did not commit. daniel sal dan owe was convicted

my wall growing up, and here he is my dad teaching him how to be him and my dad asking me, am i getting paid for this? >> are you saying your dad didn't get paid for that? you didn't pay him? >> well, i mean, i, nobody paid him. i had to take it out of my till. so, yeah. it's been fun. i mean, it's been a wild ride. my parents, my mother and my father and -- are able -- you know, i am happy they are alive so they are, you know, sharing this experience with me because we're such a tight family. for me to share this with them is a big moment. >> it's pretty great. the film is super fun. for people who -- i want to get people who should be familiar with you at home. if they are not, a sense of, you know, a lot of this for people familiar with your comedy will feel familiar because so much of what you talk about is your upbringing, your own sicilian

father. i want to play a little bit of those moments. >> the world doesn't match my upbringing oh, okay? i grew up with an immigrant family. my father sicilian. my mother italian. i got to clarify that, okay? if you talk to my pure, you're s sicilian. >> there is so much -- it's the culture clash when families meet which is relightable for a lot of couples, a lot of families. but as you were writing this you've got injury sicilian father that this is base odd own and blood blood waspy family on the other side. how close is that to your real life? >> it's right out of my real life. my wife comes from a very wealthy family and we go there every summer to spend, you know, a week over fourth of july at her, you know, country club environment. i mean, sweet people. nice people. completely different how i grew up, you know.

i often make fun my wife's parents. that's all they do is travel, they are bouncing around from city to city to country to country, and growing up we went on one vacation a year, you know? and we left when we ran out of money. like, we went to disneyland and in the middle of disneyland my father is like, all right, wrap it up. wrap it up? >> aren't we going to seaworld? he is like, i got no more money, get in the car, we are going to home. so i think those two different ways of living, although, you know, fantastic in their own right, once they come together, i think it makes for an unbelievable film and conflict and comedy. >> when you see these -- i think it's also in many ways, correct me if i'm wrong, felt like a love letter, too, to your dad and maybe even to your in-laws? >> yeah, i think definitely is. the fact that i was able to give my father a movie, it's not something every kid gets a chance to do. and, you know, my father is my

toughest critic and my biggest fan at the same time, you know? coming from an immigrant family, work was really stressed in our house. it was like no one's ever gonna give you nothing, i got to work for ever piece of food that you get. he has been on my back for 49 years. this guy's relentless, you know? he is still at my shows going, you know, you got any new material? you know, let's start writing some new stuff. people want to see new stuff. it's nice to have that voice on my shoulder, although annoying at times, sometimes i need it. >> i think we all talk about as we get older we look at our kids, we have these moments you think, i am to go exactly what my parents d. are you salvo with your own kids? >> there is hints of it. as parents, we take from what our parents did to us and we cherry pick. oh, like, i like the fact that my father gave me chores growing up. i was cutting the lawn, washing

the car, vacuuming the living room, and now i got my 3-year-old making his bed, cleaning his plate, you know. i want to instill that type of work ethic my father instilled in me. the way my father delivers a message to me, his criticisms are unfiltered, raw and sometimes not nice, you know? and it's hard to hear sometimes. but, you know, in talking to my kids, i'm taking a different approach. i am still stern and firm, but there is a little bit of love sprinkled in there. >> sebastian maniscalco, the film has a lot of love sprinkled through, humor, too. great to have you this morning. congrats on the film. >> irappreciate it. >> can't wait to see it. out today. >> can i take the kids? no. t a little young. >> maybe. all right. memorial day weekend kicking off. what is expected to be really a busy travel season this summer, you're looking at live pictures from the hartsfield-jackson

holiday for americans to honor the men and women who died serving in the military so that we could remain free. so how are americans using their time off? senior data reporter harry enten is here with this morning's number. good morning. >> good morning. all right. so this morning's number is 90. why? because the memorial day is a paid day off for 90% of all u.s. workers. it's one of the top holidays for getting a day off. more than that, americans believe that it should be a day off. so this is a great question that was asked, should be a national holiday? 82% of americans believe it

should be a national holiday. that is tops of any holiday, beats out new year's day at 80% and labor day at 76%. >> so their wish came true, they get their national holiday. the big question is how are you spending the weekend, for many it's the official kickoff to summer. what are we to? >> what are we up to? okay. the top memorial weekend day plans, relax or do nothing, number one. i like that one. that is great. number two, see family. number three, a cookout obviously, memorial day weekend cookout. so what are you going to cook? what are americans' favorite foods to grill on the barbecue? beef is number one at 39%, then you get chicken at 27%, pork 11%, veges 10%, fish 10%. that's a little too healthy for me, i think. >> those are my top two. >> that's why you look so great. i've got to use your secrets. but of course i think the real question is when does summer

unofficially start? memorial day holiday comes in number one at 45%. schools let out at 41%. 20 years ago i would have said that was the answer. or whenever i take a vaca 10%. if that were the case i would, in fact, never have a start to summer because i never take off. >> are you working monday? >> no i'm taking, it's my jewish way. >> it's what he does best. harry, thank you very much. a terrifying moment caught on camera here. the moment a car is stolen, but with a toddler still inside. take a look at this, you will see a teenager walking up to the white suv before jumping in the driver's seat and driving away. the mother says she was dropping her children off at their grandmother's house so she walked her 2-year-old to the steps, her 14 month old daughter was still in the car. the suspect did eventually ditch the car before taking off on foot. family members say the baby was not injured. >> scary moments, though. we will be right back. the day you get your clearchoice dental implants makes every day...
