"cnn news central" starts right now.

not stopping until the job is done. chuck schumer vowing the senate will soon get the debt bill onto president biden's desk putting a pause on the debt ceiling and preventing economic calamity. but that's not all. we'll break down some of the bill's impacts on your bottom line. trump caught on tape again. a cnn exclusive. federal prosecutors have an audio recording of the former president speaking about keeping a classified document. the report could undercut his defense in the ongoing case. the 2024 gop front-runner is expected to speak to reporters from the campaign trail during the next hour. and a death zone rescue at the top of the world. a sherpa drags someone to safety. we are following these major stories and many more all coming in right here to "cnn news central."

the big question today, how fast can they move? right now the senate is taking up the debt ceiling bill just passed by the house. remember, there are only four days to avert a catastrophic government default, so chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell are pushing their members for a quick vote. both have said they want to finish by tomorrow even potentially wrapping things up tonight. here's the majority leader on the senate floor. >> at this point any needless delay or last-minute holdups would be an unnecessary and even dangerous risk. any change to this bill that forces us to send it back to the house would be entirely unacceptable. it would almost guarantee default. >> let's get the latest now from capitol hill with cnn's ma manu raju. what are you hearing about how swiftly this bill could wind up

on president biden's desk? >> reporter: well, this is the subject of intense negotiations happening right now on the senate floor. i talked to the number two republican, john thune, who is deep in these negotiations to try to get this bill passed as soon as tonight. he is having discussions with some members, including senator lindsey graham and others who are demanding certain things. one thing that lindsey graham wants is some sort of insurance from democratic leaders and republican leaders that they will move on a ukraine funding package sometime later this year. there's also some concerns about defense funding and the level of defense funding in this plan. the deal that was cut between mccarthy and the white house would level out funding, provide the funding under the biden proposal, the biden administration's defense spending proposal. that is not far enough for a number of these hawks on the republican side of the aisle who believe it needs to be much further. all these concerns are significant because one senator,

single senators can delay matters until past the monday default deadline. they need to get all 100 to agree to schedule the vote. at the moment they don't have the agreement. this all comes as senators are raising concerns. lindsey graham told me this was a bad deal that was cut and others are also uncertain about whether they're going to back this plan. >> this is really dumb. the people who negotiated this, i wouldn't let them buy me a car. >> the speaker says democrats didn't get any wins here. >> well, i tell you what, a lot of them believe they did because more democrats voted for it than republicans. >> what does that stay to you? >> i know in divided government it's tough, but don't tell me this is the best we could do. the party of ronald reagan is in jeopardy. this is really dumb. >> this is the wrong way to address the debt, it's just the wrong way. it empowers the folks on the far right. quite frankly, i don't think they have the best interests of

the country in mind. i don't think -- i haven't talked to anybody that's enamored with this deal. >> reporter: so there are concerns on the left that believe the white house gave too much to the speaker and concerns on the right that the speaker gave too much to the white house. there is expectation that this will pass eventually, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow. senators are begrudgingly voting for a compromise they don't love but they realize this is the only way to avoid a default. >> bipartisan disdain for this bill. it seems that's a sign of a compromise. manu raju, thanks so much. brianna, this is more than just about raising the debt ceiling, this has implications far and wide. >> if passed into law, the bipartisan debt deal would prevent the biden administration from spending the student loan payment pause that began in 2020 during the trump administration. the bill reads that the pause shall cease to be effective 60

days after june 30th. that would mean that roughly 44 million people will have to resume making payments on their loans. there is some concern if this process is going to go smoothly. there may be so many people confused about how much they owe, when to pay, how much they have to pay. especially when you consider that two million borrowers will have a different servicer handling their loans since the last time they made a payment. in the meantime, all eyes will be on the supreme court. justices could rule as early as this month on a separate student loan forgiveness program. under the biden administration proposal, individual borrowers who made less than $125,000 in either 2020 or 2021 and also married couples or heads of households who made less than $250,000 per year, they would qualify for up to $10,000 of their federal student loan debt being forgiven.

and if a borrower got a pell grant in college, that individual is eligible for up to 20 grand in debt forgiveness. if the supreme court allows this program to take effect, it's possible the government moves quickly to forgive the debts of 16 million borrowers who are already approved for relief. if the justices strike down biden's student loan forgiveness program, the administration could make some modifications. they could try again but that, of course, could take months, jim. well, another trump tape that could have big legal ramifications for the former president. this is a cnn exclusive. the justice department has audio now of the former president discussing a classified document that he kept after leaving office. the recording made during a meeting at his new jersey golf club in 2021. multiple sources tell cnn that trump knew the document in his

possession was classified and he knew that designation limited his ability to share it, which would undercut the defense his lawyers have presented in the ongoing special counsel probe of his handling of classified documents. paula reid helped break this story. a couple of key questions to begin with. what exactly did he say? i'm curious how prosecutors got this tape. >> let's take the second question first. this is not a seek red recording. in the summer of 2021 the former president was in the habit of having his aides record any conversations with journalists, writers, people working on books. so in this meeting were two people working on an autobiography for former chief of staff mark meadows. meadows was not in the room but that was one of the ways that it was recorded. it is unclear whether they got it from the investigators or the aides. or from the cloud. these files were upencloloaded.

we've learned from our sources that on it he is talking about a classified document, discussing a possible attack on iran. our sources describe on the tape you can hear some laughter and paper rustling as if he's waving something, though it's unclear if it's the document he's referencing or something else. but most significantly for prosecutors, jim, he suggests that he would like to share this document but that there are limits on his ability to declassify. >> so that presumes that he had knowledge that there were limits because it was classified. explain to folks why that undercuts his defense. >> so far the public defenses that he and his attorneys have given have been conflicting at times. they have suggested that he had a standing declassification order. anything that left the oval office was automatically declassified. he told fox news that he could declassify things with his mind. then his lawyers wrote a letter

that said he didn't know about the classified materials, it was chaos and everything was packed up quickly. but what he's heard saying undercuts all of those explanations. >> oftentimes he will give more than one explanation and sometimes conflicting ones. paula reid, thanks so much, great story. the former president is actually in iowa right now campaigning for the second straight day. he's been meeting with conservatives and christian faith leaders in the republican primary battleground. notably on this trip he's not holding one of those large rallies that have been typical of his last two presidential runs. jeff, notably a different kind of event on the schedule for trump today. he's also going to gaggle with reporters in the next hour or so. what are we anticipating to hear? >> reporter: boris, the former president just met with a small

group of iowa republicans. he attended their weekly meeting rather than them coming to a big trump rally, which has been the case for much of the last eight years. that just shows you that the president is clearly working this and realizes that he has a large republican primary field. he did not talk about any of the investigations that indeed hang over his campaign that are now in fact part of his campaign. but he did talk about one of his leading rivals, florida governor ron desantis, who has been in iowa the last couple of days. he's been making the argument to republicans that they need to elect him to get eight years in the white house. the former president had this to say about that. >> if he needs eight years to turn it around, he's saying, well, i'm going to -- i can be -- let me tell you, i'll go four years. if i do a great job, we'll have a great republican. somebody is going to go another four years or eight years so it doesn't make any difference. when he says eight years, every

time i hear it i wince. if it takes eight years to turn this around, then you don't want him. you don't want him as your president. >> reporter: and trump peppered his remarks here with criticism of ron desantis, so that race is clearly joined. but several other republican candidates also heading here to the first in the nation caucus state that opens this campaign early next year. but donald trump for his part right now is having a lunch with faith leaders. another example of how he is trying to woo and win over some of his former supporters, trying to make sure that they remain current supporters. but so many republicans we talk to, there's an exhaustion factor that comes through. they are looking for someone beyond the former president. his core supporters are committed. mr. trump is trying to get people to change their mind back to his campaign. you get the sense on the 1st day of june in iowa that this race

is fully engaging, boris. >> we will look forward to that question and answer session with reporters soon to come. maybe he'll talk about the exclusive reporting of the classified documents he had. the raging wildfires in cap today prompting air quality alerts across the u.s. we'll tell you which states are more impacted. and an amazing rescue from the so-called death zone of mount everest. how a sherpa guide hauled down a climber from just under the summit. and how a navy ship dumped fuel and sickened its own crew, contaminating its water. marines came they can even smell diesel coming from the tap. the reporter who broke the story will join "cnn news central" ahead. muscle, bone, and heart healalth. everyone: woo hoo!o! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals. enter the $10,000 nourishing moments giveaway.

sorrow filled a pittsburgh courtroom once again today where the man accused of gunning down 11 jewish worshippers inside a synagogue is now on trial for murder. robert bowers has pleaded not guilty to more than 60 federal counts that include hate crime charges. he could face the death penalty if convicted. on wednesday, jurors heard several shooting survivors testify about their split-second actions and decisions during the attack. some of the pictures they showed as well from inside where this took place. cnn's danny freeman is in pittsburgh outside the courthouse with new developments on today's testimony. part of the trial here is explaining just how frightening, how horrific this scene was and the actions of the accused gunman. what did we learn today? >> reporter: well, jim, we've already learned new information on a couple of different fronts. we've had two witnesses already take the stand and gotten a new batch of exhibit in evidence that were released in court

yesterday. i'll talk about those exhibits first just so you can see the chaos and see just how intense it's been watching these back for everyone in the courthouse yesterday and throughout this week. so most of the surviving witnesses that we have seen so far take the stand, they have not been shot on injured themselves while in the synagogue. then we heard testimony late yesterday afternoon from 75-year-old dan leger. he told a story about how he and a doctor were both in the synagogue when they first heard the gunshots went off. they looked at each other and knew they had to run toward it because of their medical training. the doctor was shot and killed. but, dan, he was also shot in the abdomen but survived. he described this moment where he ended up laying on a flight of stairs and was holding his wound, trying to be as still as possible because he worried if the gunman saw that he was alive, he would in his words

come and finish the job. he gave incredible testimony saying how he expected to die. he was starting to pray and think about his life. take a look at this exhibit right here. this is the image you've been looking at. he was rescued by paramedics and taken out of the building where he received multiple surgeries and ultimately survived. this is just one example of many surviving witness testimonies that we've heard. we'll hear more today and throughout the day about how sb intense and emotional it was back in 2018. >> it also shows you the margin between living and dying in shootings like this is so small. that's a case there as well. danny freeman in pittsburgh, we'll learn more in the days ahead, brianna. let's turn now to an air quality alert as parts of canada are battling record heat and sprawling wildfires. the smoke and the haze have moved into parts of the northeastern united states. this is impacting portions of

massachusetts, new hampshire is impacted, connecticut and all of delaware. allison chinchar is joining us live on this. allison, this is smoke that has been lingering for days at this point. >> yeah. the good news is there is light at the end of the tunnel in the form of a cold front closer to the weekend. but in the short term, a lot of the really dense smoke is hovered a little more over the mid-atlantic, states like new jersey, pennsylvania, maryland, delaware. that's where you'll find more of your unhealthy and poor air quality at least for the sensitive groups at least in the short term. most of that smoke is very concentrated over the mid-atlantic, but we're going to start to see a shift late friday and into the weekend. it's all thanks to a cold front that's going to be sliding down across canada. as it does so, it's going to bring rain across nova scotia, bringing relief for much of this region entirely as that rain begins to push in. it's not only going to provide

rain to put those fires out but also bring those temperatures back down. right now we're in the 90s for much of this region, finally getting the temperatures back down to where they should be as we head into the weekend. >> all right, allison, thank you for that update. we appreciate it. jim. coming up, a shocking report of u.s. marines drinking and showering in toxic water after their ship dumps diesel fuel into the ocean and immediately sucked it back into its water supply. the reporter who broke this story will join us next. and later what the pentagon is saying after forcing an air force base to cancel an already approved drag show meant to honor lgbtq service members.

it was what should have been a routine night in 2016 aboard the uss boxer. a couple of marines went to grab a drink from a water fountain and were met by the overpowering smell of diesel fuel. it also permeated the ship's washing machines, the toilets, the showers. one sergeant said she kept her hair in braids so she wouldn't smell the diesel as she slept. another marine said the ship is actually trying to kill us, but the crew was assured by leadership that the water was safe to drink. it was two months before those contaminated water tanks aboard

the ship would be cleaned. now some of those service members say they have lingering health problems and have been denied benefits. the navy is only confirming this incident now in response to part of this investigative report by military.com. general porta broke this story. he's with us now and is a marine veteran. jim, you worked on this for five years. tell us how you pursued this and what turned out to be the cause of this water contamination. >> yeah. thank you for the new gig, i appreciate that. yeah, so five years ago i had received a tip, like most news stories happen. this tip was from a former marine who had served on the boxer. she said her and her friends were experiencing these health issues from fuel getting into the water supply on the uss boxer. but the problem that they were

having was there was a lack of documentation for this incident ever occurring. so because there was a lack of documentation on this, they couldn't file a claim with the va to get their ailments covered by the department of veterans affairs. so in june of 2018, i started my first interviews. i started interviewing members of the boxer and filed my first freedom of information act ask to the navy. since 2018 the navy has said there are no records to prove that this mishap happened. because there were no records, the navy couldn't say that this ever occurred. >> you explain in the story that part of that is because there was some sort of software update and there's a bunch of emails that just don't exist that may have shown something about this. but there are some printed out evidence -- there is some printed out evidence of what happened that at least one

person saved. in response to your reporting the navy admitted, yes, there was fuel in the ship's water system. they also said uss boxer's leadership and crew took immediate and appropriate measures to restrict access to the ship's potable water. the potable water system, fresh water was restored. is that what your reporting found, jim? >> that's correct. so a couple of things there. i still don't understand how the navy is concluding that this occurred. so they're admitting that it occurred, but since 2018 they told me there's no records on it so, therefore, they can't say that it occurred. so i'm not sure if they're taking my word for it or if they found documents or talked to someone. on the other issues, it's, yeah, service members have been trying to get documentation from the ship. in several instances, marines and sailors who were veterans have asked the ship themselves

for documentation and the ship has not provided any documentation for that. the real hero of this story is there was this navy corpsman who was assigned to a marine reconnaissance platoon. and he was very concerned about his marines drinking and bathing in this contaminated water. so when he saw an email go out that said there's fuel in the water, he decided to print that email out and slip it into the medical files for his marines. that's really the only document that i have to this day. i still don't have any documents from the navy that show that this happened. >> they are complaining about concerns about fertility. there have been concerns -- respiratory concerns. there have been concerns about rare cancer. i mean these are very serious concerns that they have. but also what strikes me about this, jim, is that this is one of many stories of toxic

exposure in the military. but there seems to be a theme, whether it's on the boxer, whether it's this fuel leak we saw last year in hawaii that poisoned many military families, whether it's camp lejeune water, whether it's burn pits, the theme is there seems to be a culture of denial that you are describing. why isn't that being addressed so that they don't have this expensive problem that they have with all of these cases? >> you're right. a trend that i picked up on from talking to these boxers over the last five years is that just mere days after this incident occurred, the leadership on the boxer said, hey, this water is safe to drink. but yet there's the smell of diesel fuel across the ship. you think about how many uses we have for water, like in our everyday lives. we use water for laundry, for

brushing our teeth, for just drinking. well, that was no different on the boxer. it was in everything. but they're being told it's safe to drink. well, the navy has admitted in other investigations of contaminations on, say, the nimitz, the navy doesn't have a mechanism for testing whether or not there's fuel in the water on a naval ship. so even though the navy is saying to sailors, hey, this is safe to think, they don't have the ability to test for that. so i'm not sure -- i actually still don't know how the leadership on the boxer came to the conclusion that the water was safe to drink. >> yeah, it's a huge question. it's a great report. thank you for sharing it with us. i do encourage our viewers to check it out in its entirety at military.com. jim laporta, thanks for your time this afternoon. >> thank you. >> boris. on the schedule at an air force base in nevada today, a drag show.

that is, until the pentagon stepped in to cancel it, saying that the event meant to kick off pride month is not a suitable use of resources. cnn's natasha bertrand is live for us at the pentagon with this story. natasha, what more are you learning about this decision? >> yeah, boris, so this would have been the third drag show that nellis air force base would have hosted since 2021. it was abruptly cancelled this week when pentagon leaders intervened and ordered that it not move forward. now, all of this seems to stem from a commitment that secretary of defense lloyd austin maeld during a house armed services committee hearing back in march that the department of defense does not support or fund these kinds of drag shows on installations across the country. he was grilled on this by republican aept afternoon matt gaetz who questioned both him and chairman of the joint chiefs, mark milley, about why these drag shows were occurring on these bases in a way some conservative policymakers have

argued is not appropriate. here is that exchange. >> at nellis air force base, you had the drag u nellis on june 17th. who funded these things, mr. secretary? >> listen, drag shows are not something that the department of defense supports or funds. >> why are they happening on military bases? i just showed you the evidence. why are they happening? >> i will say again, this is not something that we support or fund. >> reporter: so this drag show would have been performed at this air base in order to mark the start of pride month, which of course begins today. but according to department of defense officials, these kinds of events will not move forward in the future because they believe they are not a good use of dod resources. secretary of defense os 10 did release a statement marking the beginning of pride month. he said i remain dedicated to making sure our lgbtq personnel

can continue to serve the country we all love with dignity and pride this month and every other one. he went on to thank them for their service. so lloyd austin here he has expressed support for that community many times in the past. obviously the department of defense rethinking whether they want to allow these kinds of drag shows taking place on these bases going forward, jim. officials are using a drone to that partially collapsed apartment building in iowa as concerns grow that it could come tumbling down at any moment. plus, one officer got a major surprise in a traffic stop when he saw a squad car being driven away. we'll show you what happened when "cnn news central" returns.

my friend's white-noise idea. nope. and i'm not counting sheep. not on the... carpet. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. so i know how important a good night's sleep is. that's why i take quviviq nightly. maybe i should tell them how it works, taye? quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. it's thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia: overactive wake signals. and when taken every night, studies showed sleep continued to improve over time. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression, including suicidal thoughts, may occur. most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness.
