"cnn this morning" starts right now.
3:01 am
good morning, everyone. erica is here again, looking like a ray of sunshine. let's get started with five things to know. there may be a deal. we're not quite there yet with the final house vote expected to day. the drama now is not between the two parties but instead within the republican party. the finger pointing intensifies as russia blames ukraine for a drone attack on moscow on the heels of a deadly rain in kyiv. president zelenskyy senting a date for the counter offensive. also, republican president hl h presidenttial hopeful ron desantis in iowa. he paints a pretty grim picture of the country. a historic ruling in big pharma. one family is fighting the
3:02 am
opioid epidemic in exchange from immunity in future lawsuits. and what this means for the global race to conquer space. "cnn this morning" starts right now. deal or no deal? >> there's a deal. >> do they have a vote is the question. there say huge breakdown in capitol hill for the deal. the house is set to vote on this bill as speaker kevin mccarthy faces a growing revolt by his own party, by republicans. the deal narrowly cleared the first major hurdle last night by the slimmest margin possible. the powerful house rules committee did vote to advance the bill to the floor. mr. norm san?
3:03 am
no. mr. roy? no. they're vowing to keep fighting to try to cull this deal . they could crash the economy. speaker mccarthy is walking a tight rope. he is trying to rally support for the bill while facing a looming threat that his job from far right republicans, well, his job could be on the line because they're very upset about the deal. we have team coverage. let's begin in washington. our congressional correspondent is on capitol hill. this are real questions about how mad some of the republicans are and what it could also mean not only for the deal but for mccarthy's future as speaker.
3:04 am
>> yeah. nothing like crunch time, poppy. we expected this vote on the debt ceiling was going to happen tonight around 8:30 p.m. but in the meantime, the operation to get the votes for the deal, make sure you don't lose to too many on the right flank, that is already under way. >> reporter: congressional leadership working to lock in enough votes to pass a bill to raise the debt ceiling negotiated by house speaker kevin mccarthy and president biden. >> members from all across the conference shared they're sup -- their support for this important bill and for speaker kevin mccarthy's strong leadership. >> the bill narrowly made it out of the rules committee tuesday night with a 7-6 vote. two republicans from the far right freedom caucus voting against the advancement. >> you're out there watching this every one of my colleagues,
3:05 am
be very clear. not one republican should vote for this deal. it is a bad deal. >> republican representative dan bishop says he's lost confidence in mccarthy over his handling of the bill's negotiation. and is threatening a vote of no confidence. >> it seems inescapable to me given what has occurred in the way he was the steward of republican unity and he blew it to smit pieces. the. >> i'm angry we're being held hostage. >> very disappointed. the mansion pipeline, work requirements, undecided. >> reporter: another factor that could dissuade some members is the congressional budget office's score for the bill. the cbo says the bill will reduce budget deficits by $1.5 trillion over the next ten years. but new food stamps provisions would increase enrollment and
3:06 am
increase spend fing for that program by $2 billion during that period. >> the answer is the cbo got it wrong. >> reporter: the rules committee was the first hurd unle to get s bill through congress which is five days before the treasury department says the nation defaults on the debt. republican senate john thune says he believes nine republicans will vote yes f democrats remain unified will get the bill the 60-vote threshold it needs. >> i hope the house moves quickly. i'll make sure the senate moves quickly the moment this bipartisan bill is sent to us. >> and on the democratic side, they are going to hold a house caucus meeting this morning with white house officials. the hope from leadership that they're going to be able to lock in the votes on their side as well. but a couple things to watch today on the house floor. first, the vote on the rule that will come first. traditionally, republicans are the ones who get that across the finish line. they may need some democratic
3:07 am
votes today given some of the tough language you are hearing from members of the house freedom caucus. and with that narrow majority, the other thing to keep an eye on, whether or not conservatives continue to threaten kevin mccarthy's speakership for his part in cutting this deal. poppy and erica? >> only takes one. lauren fox, thank you. the debt limit deal also needs votes from democrats to pass. the white house doing its part to get some of the skeptical lawmakers onboard. so, white house officials set to huddle with lawmakers today. there has been consistent communication here it sounds like. what more are we expecting? >> president biden is asking to huddle with house democrats as they make the final pitch to the lawmakers heading into tonight's vote. included in that meeting will be omb director young as well as one of the president's long-time advisors who helps negotiate
3:08 am
this agreement. what we've seen from the white house over the past few days is really this drum beat of communication. making these one-on-one calls to democratic lawmakers. white house says they called about over 100 members of congress as this agreement came together over the weekend. heading into tonight's vote, white house officials are aware. they're not going to get every single democrat onboard with this agreement. they just need enough democrats onboard. now the white house is not saying how many democrats they do believe will ultimately vote for this bill. the house minority leader jeffries has said that he is taking republicans at their word of being able to put up 150 republican votes. if you do the math, that would then roughly add to about 70 democrats they would need to get this bill across the finish line. now, you heard this frustration from progressives and other democrats in the party, no not with work requirements and food stamps but permitting reform for
3:09 am
energy projects. the president said he's not sure he can get all progressives onboard. one thing that officials in their pitch to lawmakers had been trying to stress is that this bill prevented many of the republican priorities that they passed in that legislation previously, they prevented that from making it into the bill. lawmakers need to look at this. need to look at the need to avert a default for first time in u.s. history and they're hoping they'll be able to get enough democrats onboard. of course, throughout this process, they stressed this needs to be a bipartisan deal. so they're hoping to get that across the finish line tonight. >> and we'll be watching and waiting for that final answer. appreciate it. thank you. all right. turning to ukraine now, this morning ukraine forces are bracing for retaliation a day after russia accused kyiv of sending drones to attack buildings in moscow. ukraine is denying that. kyiv has had one of the quietest nights and days as russia did not launch attacks on the capital last night.
3:10 am
speculation is growing they may reloading arsenal. the governor of russia's belgrade region blaming ukraine for a, quote, massive strike overnight leaving four people there injured. let's go to our colleague. he joins us again live in kyiv with more. it is odd to see such a quiet night, especially after those attacks on russia that russia is blaming ukraine for. what does it feel like on the ground? >> it certainly felt like a quiet night. they've been under a lot of pressure the last couple days. a lot of the russian strikes hang during the day time hours. there was certainly the fear here on the ground that also among the authorities that there could be massive retaliation immediately after those alglege drone attacks. ukrainians are saying they have nothing to do with. the russians are squarely saying they know it was ukrainian that's did this.
3:11 am
that is a reason why there was that concern that there could be big strikes coming up. as you said, there are ukrainian officials who are speculating as to what exactly might be the case. the ukrainians saying the russians might be reloading arsenal and bringing more of the drones into place as well. they also say they have not seen any sea launched cruise missiles from the russians. they fear that something like that could be in the works as well. there is one official, an adviser to the interior ministry, who speculating whether or not maybe that's drone attack in moscow did have an in an effect on the russian government. they're saying it wasn't them and maybe something to cause them to slow down as far as strikes in kyiv are concerned. very difficult to say. surge the folks here on the ground will take the quiet they had last night. >> what about the strikes in b belgrade. is that beginning of a counter
3:12 am
offensive? >> it could very well be at least one element of that. potentially the ukrainians, you know, we heard might be trying to put the russians in are pressure on their own turf to then possibly launch a counterattack somewhere else. just to deviate from where the russians are able to build up forces. the russians having to strengthen the border as well. they had the anti-putin russian group last week. overnight, considerable stricstrikes that injured several people on the ground. a small village, i was in that village in the early stages of russia's invasion. it's a very small place. certainly a place that's very close to an important military center for the russians. that's certainly something we see that the russians are under pressure on their own turf. unclear whether it's part of the new offensive. something that the kremlin today said they're concerned about. >> fred, thank you.
3:13 am
really appreciate the reporting. thank you. ahead, in our next hour, 7:00 a.m. eastern hour, we'll speak with the mayor of kyiv. he'll join us on "cnn this morning." emotional testimony heartbreaking 911 calls heard during day one of the tree of life murder trial ahead. >> we're also going to take you live to iowa where desantis is sharpening his attack against his former ally. >> he's attacking me. over some of the disagreements. i think he's doing it in a way that voters are going to side with me. gena ultra sheer. a lightweight blend that protects 6 layers deeeep with a a smooth dry-touch finish. this round is on me. neutrogena ultra sheer. up at 2:00am again? tonight, try pure zzzszs all night.

3:18 am
>> in his remarks to the crowd last night, he didn't go after trump at all. it was when he talked to the press afterward that we heard more about that. >> florida governor ron desantis kicking off his white house bid on tuesday. >> it's great for me to report that our great american come back starts by sending joe biden back to his basement i n delaware. >> there is no substitute for victory. >> the governor notably did not mention the former president by name in his kickoff address. >> tat the end of the day, leadership is not about
3:19 am
entertainment or building a brand or virtue signalling, it's about results. >> reporter: but as the trump campaign steps up attacks on the florida governor, desantis made clear his rebuttals to the criticisms while taking questions from the press after his speech. >> he used to say hgreat florid was, his whole family moved to my state. >> appearing confident that they would reject attacks on his former ally in florida. >> now he's attacking me over some of the disagreements. but i think he's doing it in a way that the voters are going to side with me. >> reporter: and taking indirect jabs at the former president himself. >> i don't need someone to give me a list to know what a conservative justice looks like. >> reporter: all while summing up where he thinks his real fight lies. >> i'm going to focus my fire on biden. he should do the same. he gives biden a free pass. i'm focusing on biden. >> reporter: the first official stop, a smoother launch than the twitter that was launched last
3:20 am
week. the governor offering familiar attacks against the biden economy. >> the biden administration is doing all they could make it harder for the average family to make ends meet and to attain and maintain a middle class lifestyle. >> reporter: and criticizing fellow republican house speaker kevin mccarthy's debt limit deal that is now headed to the house floor on wednesday. >> the bill for the massive borrowing spending and debt and record printing of money by the fed, that's falling on the american people. >> reporter: do we expect to see governor desantis traveling across iowa as he talks to voters. and from here, he'll travel to new hampshire and south carolina. of course, hitting all of the early states and we anticipate seeing him doing that often and aggressively. >> it will be a very few months ahead. jessica. thank you. a trial for the man accused
3:21 am
of killing 11 people at the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh in 2018 that, trial opened yesterday with horrific 911 calls from the attack. one of them included a woman's final words. she is heard saying, tree of life, we're being attacked. we're being attacked. my husband is shot. dear god. my husband is bleeding. he's shot in the back and i'm scared to death and then she stopped talking. they both died. they got married at that synagogue, at the tree of life 62 years before they were shot there. families of the victims, members of the jewish community were in the courtroom yesterday. prosecutors are calling for death penalty of the suspect, robert bowers. he's accused of carrying out the deadliest anti-semitic attack in u.s. history. danny freeman is live in pittsburgh covering this. we heard from before you the
3:22 am
trial began yesterday. and now we've seen prosecutors as they lay out their case in these opening remarks. walk us through it. >> that's right, poppy. by the way, you mentioned exactly how emotional and challenging yesterday was in the courtroom. some of the 911 calls. we'll get to that in a second. what the prosecution tried to do yesterday is not only establish that robert bowers was the one who killed 11 worshippers in pittsburgh in that synagogue on that day in october of 2018, but also that he did it specifically because those worshippers who jewish and did so in a horrific fashion. yesterday we really learned new details about how violent and just how intentional that shooting was. prosecutors said that robert bowers went through the synagogue room by room methodically hunting jewish worshippers. now in the end of that shooting, s.w.a.t. team from pittsburgh got into a shootout with robert bowers. he eventually surrendered.
3:23 am
a, is wi a s.w.a.t. officer sai did do you this? he said all jews need to die. jews are killing our kid. we're hearing from the defense and they're not disputing any of the facts. the defense attorney said that bowers' actions were ink inkprink incomprehensible and inexcusable. there are misguided thing it's the things fit with the 63 felony charges that he's facing. i want to walk through the 911 calls you mentioned at the top. you heard from better niece simon. the rabbi of the tree of life congregation, he survived the shooting. they played one of his 911 calls in the trial yesterday. it was harrowing. you heard him desperately trying to guide first responders to the synagogue and to his room. and then prosecutors realized that there was a silence in the
3:24 am
911 call. prosecutors asked rabbi meyers, why was there this silence? and rabbi meyers said i was praying. because i expected to die. i was initially trying to decide in that moment rabbi meyers said whether i hang up the phone and call my wife or make a video for her. but he said i thought if this was the end, i wasn't going to leave her, my wife, a message like this. so, again, just incredible intense day in the courtroom yesterday. and we're expecting to see more of that in the days to come. poppy? >> danny, we really appreciate you being there. thank you for the reporting. the billionaire family that owns purdue pharma will be protected from lawsuits over their role in the opioid crisis. how this decision impacts victims and their families. also this morning, we're hearing from the 11-year-old boy called police for help but was shot in the chest instead. >> i'm going to die.
3:25 am
3:26 am
this man needs updated covid protection. so does she. yup, these guys too. because covid is still out there, and so are you. and if your last vaccine was before september 2022, you're out there with fading protection. but an updated vaccine restores your protection. so you can keep doing you. get an updated covid vaccine and stay out there, safely. she's feeling the power of listerine. he's feeling it. yep, them too. it's an invigorating rush... ...zapping millions of germs in seconds. for that one-of-a-kind
3:27 am
3:28 am
(chainsaw revs) (tree crashes) (chainsaw continues) (daughter screams) let's pretend for a second that you didn't let down your entire family. what would that reality look like? well i guess i would've gotten us xfinity... and we'd have a better view. do you need mulch? what, we have a ton of mulch.
3:29 am
the billionaire family that owns purdue pharma are shielded from future lawsuits. they began selling oep identifies in 1990s branding it as a nonaddictive drug. they're accused of fueling the opioid crisis that killed half a million people over the last 20 years. jean cassar yas joining us. they have to pay out this $6 billion. but then that's it? >> then they are shielded from private claims, individual claims. this started in 2019. purdue pharma declared and filed for bankruptcy. you have purdue pharma, the company. you have the individuals. they did not file for bankruptcy. just the corporation did. and i remember, i was actually
3:30 am
in that courtroom when the judge announced that day from a very beginning that all these private claims, because everybody was suing the sack willers, right? they were going to be folded into the bankruptcy claim because in the channels of bankruptcy. and so that is where the case proceeded. and all the negotiations for all the years really been how much money a personal funds are they going to pay for victim compensation, for programs to abate. you know, community programs, state programs, addiction programs, and then medications for crisis for people who are addicted. and that was the negotiation. it was reached in march by .5 to $6 billion out of their personal funds will do it. but then the appeal started. many said this is not fair. all these individuals are not going do get compensated. it was folded into bankruptcy. let's look at what partst opinion says. this was an appellate court. this is an important precedent
3:31 am
setting case. they said our creditors understand the plan is the best option to help those who need it the most. the most fair and expeditious way to resolve the litigation and the only way to deliver billions of dollars in value specifically to fund opioid crisis abatement efforts. it's interesting. the opinion, because it came down. i was reading it last night. the judge said, when you have a bankruptcy action, it's going to be -- it's going to seem unfair to some. because you can't service everyone. you have do what is in the best interest of the whole. and the attorney general for california very upset. his state is getting $500 million. but he is saying that individual claimants are not getting to go to court. that's not fair to them. >> and often for them that's important to be heard. not just about the money. but to be heard personally. >> and there was a hearing on that during that bankruptcy. >> i remember that. >> some were heard and
3:32 am
representative of the whole. >> thank you. >> thanks, jean. now this. video shows a chinese fighter jet making what the u.s. military is calling this morning a, quote, aggressive maneuver. intercepting the u.s. spy plane. we'll talk about that and latest on the strikes in ukraine and the drone strikes in moscow with the former defense secretary under president trump. he is us with next. only at vanguard you're more than just an investor you're an owner. that means your priorities are ours too. our rerement tools and advice

3:34 am
3:36 am
overnight, four people were hurt in what russia calls a, quote, massive attack. this is on the belgrade region. eight apartment buildings, four homes and two administrative buildings were damaged in the shelling. this marks the second attack on russian soil this week. russia blames ukraine for the drone strikes that hit residential parts of moscow on monday. ukraine has denied any direct
3:37 am
involvement in that. the white house says it's still gathering information. we'll be joined by john kirby next hour from the white house on that. this all comes as ukraine continues to face relentless barrage of russian drone strikes in kyiv. and as president zelenskyy says, he decided on a date to launch the long awaited counter offensive. let's talk about the developments and a lot more with the defense secretary under former president trump. he serves on the board of the weapons technology company. it's good to have you, secretary. thanks for your time this morning. what's your reaction? >> good morning. >> to what we're seeing? we just had fred reporting from kyiv. it was interestingly quiet overnight. no russian strikes on the cap capital in past nights. but we're seeing this increase in attacks on the belgrade region. what do you make of that? >> right. i'm calling in from slovakia, a front line state with ukraine. the meeting with european leader leaders for the last few days.
3:38 am
everyone is awaiting what is happening. my assessment is that these are part of ukraine's shaping operations. you've seen everything from rail cars being derailed, refineries being bombed, other things happening in russia and crimea. now you have these attacks, the drone attack. you have the attack last week by armed anti-putin militia, russians in grthis town. i think this is part of the operations to distract russia, to make them move forces around the battlefield and do other things so that the ukrainians can have the most successful operation possible. >> all of that is happening, there is also speculation, of course, about when we look at the trdrone attacks in moscow. "the new york times" previously reporting that the earlier attack on the kremlin was likely carried out by one of ukraine's covert military groups. if ukraine is striking in russian territory, do you believe that should give the
3:39 am
u.s. or other nato countries pause when it comes to weapons that welcome supplied? this has been, as we know, a point of contention. >> yeah. i saw the white house statement yesterday. look, first of all, ukraine has the right of self-defense. and secondly, russia should not have sank sanctuary. they don't get to kill for 15 months and then cry foul when ukraine or ukraine supported or maybe it's anti-putin groups shoot drones in moscow. i think that's wrong. that's not right. i think ukraine needs to leverage whatever it can with whom ever they can strike legitimate military targets in russia. >> let's turn to china. >> there is video of the u.s. military, what they're calling unnecessary aggressive maneuver by a chinese plane intercepting u.s. spy plane over the south
3:40 am
china sea. they're saying this happened in international waters. this as president ping is calling on his national security chiefs to prepare for what he is seeming as worst case scenarios. he said they need to increase mobilization and make it more effective, quote, in actual combat and practical use. this is lines of communication between defense secretary austin and his chinese counterpart are not open. >> yeah. look, the relationship continues to spiral downward. i would say that it's largely due to chinese bad behavior. these incidents in the air, for example, have occurred for years and most infamously 2001 when chinese fighter plane bumped into a 135 aircraft which was forced to land on the island. and we eventually got our airmen back. but not the plane. and, so, this has been going on for years. china ce china asserts they have ability to control the airspace. it's international. but, look in, the past several
3:41 am
months, we've had efverything from spy balloons to the discovery of chinese police stations to continue espionage. fbi says every 12 hours they're opening up an espionage investigation against china. so chinese bad behavior goes on and on. and here they are supporting, of course, russia. n. this terrible war in ukraine. look, i think we need to continue to work to try to get china on the right path. we need our european allies in addition to our indendopacific allies onboard. this is against the a to beingcies in the world in this century. >> what does it mean work to try to get china on the right path? given everything you just listed, what you are suggestsing the administration does at this point? >> a continued unified stance both in the region and abroad. particularly also international organizations and any number of u.n. organizations, for example. i think we need to continue to
3:42 am
bolster our relationships through trade and tax treaties. i think we need to continue through formal coalitions like nato or informal ones such as the security initiative to continue to build a consensus against china's bad behavior and building up the norms we built up over the last 70 or 80 years. we appreciate you joining us, thank you. >> smoke from wildfires in canada is drifting into the northeast. we have the weather team to break down how it could impact your air quality. the minute ye off the lot. or more. that's why f farmers new car replacement pays to replace it with a new o one of the same make and model. get a whole lot of something with fararmers policy perks. ♪ farmers mnemoninic ♪

3:49 am
