they are staying until it's done. right now the senate going through the final motions to pass that debt ceiling bill intended to avoid default. we are told a vote could happen as soon as this evening and we're on it. sounding the alarm. two big chains, macy's and costco, say consumers aren't just pulling back, they're changing what they buy. is this a red flag? what this signals for the economy. plus, we're learning a building inspector who checked this apartment building complex in iowa has resigned after it partially collapsed.
12:01 pm
today three people are still missing and we're expecting an update any minute from officials. we're following these major developing stories and more all coming in right here to cnn news central. a big vote on capitol hill as soon as tonight. these two republican u.s. senators, florida's rick scott and utah's mitt romney, just told cnn's manu raju, the goal is to get a final vote on that debt ceiling bill tonight. it would go to the president's desk to be signed into law just ahead of that monday deadline or the government would otherwise run out of money to pay its bills. manu raju is on capitol hill covering this from the beginning. is that where the momentum, to get that done tonight so senators can go home for the weekend and don't want to interrupt their weekend plans? >> yeah, the smells of jet fumes
12:02 pm
in the air in the senate tonight as a push to get this done is intense. in fact john thune, number two republican who's deep in these negotiations to try to ensure that all 100 senators can agree on a timeline to have some amendment votes that will fail and ultimately get to final passage of the debt limit increase. that's what's required, all 100 senators to sign up. he told reporters he believes this could happen late tonight and end what was a stand-off that led to weeks of intense negotiations between the speaker's team and the white house, ultimately to passing in the house last night to suspending the national debt limit. as soon as tonight on the senate side averting the first u.s. default could happen tonight. there are a lot of members that are angry. folks on the left believe the white house gave too much on issues from energy issues to spending cuts. folks on the right believe that speaker mccarthy gave the white house far too much in terms of defense spending. it should have been higher
12:03 pm
defense spending levels. concerned what was agreed to could hurt the pentagon. that's what a number of defense hawks told me today. they are trying to push for more money for defense even though they are facing resistance to change the bill at all. >> the people who negotiated this, i wouldn't let them buy me a car. >> the speaker says that 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. >> i think we're being jammed by joe biden. we're backed up here against the x date and this could have happened months ago. so i'm not happy with him. i'm not happy with the process. >> well, i just think this is -- how do i put this. the debt needs to be addressed. this is the wrong way to address the debt. it's just the wrong way. >> reporter: but even with those concerns, senator jon tester told me that he would begrudgingly support this bill.
12:04 pm
dick blumenthal told he he was going to hold his nose and vote for it. so expect there to be enough votes to get this over the finish line. senators were shut out of this negotiation, it was between the speaker and the white house. ultimately it's a take it or leave it proposition and at the end of the day they plan to take it. >> the debt limit could lk a threat every time around to get cuts folks want in. i do want to ask you about another move pushed by some. a plan to block president biden's -- manu is back, there he is. he's vowed to veto the bill. does it have legs? >> reporter: it passed the senate this afternoon. this is a republican-led effort that started in the house, got approved by the senate. was approved by a bipartisan majority, 52-46 was the vote to ending president biden's student loan forgiveness program.
12:05 pm
joe manchin and jon tester voted for this, two moderate democrats from states where they're up for re-election as well as kyrsten sinema, independent, also voting with republicans, giving it enough support to go to joe biden's desk. biden has planned to veto this and has no threat to becoming the law of the land because there's not a veto-proof majority but republicans have been successful to try to push through efforts to go after biden regulations. they only need a simple majority to do it and they have gotten some democrats like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema to sign on. >> manu raju on capitol hill, thanks very much. brianna. we have senate majority whip dick durbin. senator, thank you for being with us this afternoon. we do appreciate your time. you heard manu's reporting, senator thune saying there will be a late night vote on this debt ceiling bill. is that what you anticipate? >> i've been in the russell
12:06 pm
building and missed what happened on the floor. john thune thought it would be tomorrow and now shehe says tonight. maybe if i stay away it will be this afternoon. >> i don't know if it will move that quickly. do you think this is a hard vote for democrats? >> no, i don't. it gets down to a bottom line question. do we want to default on the national debt for the first time in our history. do we want to endanger families and businesses who could see interest rates really start hurting and their savings start diminishing? the answer to all of those is an obvious no. if that's the case, you have to vote bottom line to pass this measure. do i like all of it? no. that's the nature of congress and compromise. >> a lot of people upset about the process and upset too about what is in the bill, what may
12:07 pm
not be in the bill in some cases. senator kane is very upset about the inclusion of a pipeline that is a pet project of joe manchin's, that would go from west virginia into kane's state, virginia. why do you think the white house blindsided kane with that? >> i don't know the answer to that. i can tell you tim kaine is one of our best and joe manchin is a friend. they feel very strongly about this issue and they're on opposite sides. it's a tough moment for the senate democratic caucus as to how this will work out. i don't know how it got in the bill but passing the bell and avoiding default is the major challenge that we face. >> do you think the white house handled that poorly considering that it normally has such a positive relationship with senator kaine? >> the white house has a positive relation with tim kaine for sure and also on joe manchin on the inflation reduction act
12:08 pm
which did so much to move us forward. i don't know the details on who was notified and who should have been notified. we'll face a tough vote with two friends on opposite sides. >> so do you think that the white house should have more seriously considered the 14th amendment as an authority for raising the debt ceiling? this is something that your democratic colleague, senator blumenthal, urged earlier today. >> here's the problem that i saw. if this went into the courts, there is no guarantee that there would be a timely decision, enough time for us to avoid defaulting on our debt. i happen to think there's a good argument about section 4 of article 14. perhaps now we can find a way to bring it before the court. but ultimately that decision will be made by a supreme court which is not predictable on a subject like this. so to have the fate of the american economy hanging in the balance of a long court process or uncertain supreme court decision and then dumped back in
12:09 pm
our lapse is something i didn't want to see happen. it was bad timing. >> how worried are you that this is just going to become the norm when this needs to be raised? >> that's why the starting point in this negotiation which speaker mccarthy insisted on is that we would postpone facing this again at least until the end of next yoear. that to me is a promise that convinced a lot of us that we can move forward and not have this hanging over our heads. >> senator durbin, thank you so much. i don't know that we'll see a vote this afternoon, that may be optimistic, but we'll be looking towards this evening to see if that does come true. sir, thank you. >> thank you. >> boris. major retailers like costco and macy's say their shoppers are pulling back, adding to signs that the u.s. economy could be in for a rough ride. notably costco also says their customers are giving clues by how they're spending their money.
12:10 pm
nathaniel meyerson is here with us. nathaniel, macy's earning report was weaker than anticipated. what does that say about consumer spending and consumer habits right now? >> so, boris, shoppers are pulling back at macy's right now. the company said that sales were down 8.7% last quarter from a year ago. shoppers are buying fewer clothing items at macy's and they're switching their purchases to food, essentials, and also travel. we see people going on trips, vacations right now and experiences they didn't get during the pandemic. you think of everybody spending on those taylor swift concert tickets right now. >> yeah, clearly a big draw. so what would you say about the other retailers like macy's? how are they holding up? >> yeah, so they're also giving some concerning signs about the state of customers right now. costco said recently that
12:11 pm
shoppers were switching from more expensive beef and steaks to cheaper pork and canned tuna. we see shoppers pulling back from some of the home improvement projects at home depot and lowe's. people are not doing as many home renovations as they did early in the pandemic. and dollar general said its loren come customers were really strained right now and they were starting to pull back as well. >> clearly a reaction by consumers to inflation. even though it's down, it still causes quite a strain. thank you so much for that reporting. jim, over to you. for the first time as president joe biden gave the graduation speech to the u.s. air force academy's class of 2023. just after all the graduates had received their diplomas, president biden appeared to trip and fall as he was heading back to his seat on stage. he appeared to land as you can see that video there on his right hip. priscilla alvarez joins me now live. priscilla, following that fall
12:12 pm
he seems to have gotten up, went back to his seat and seems to be doing okay. do we know what happened? do we know his state now? >> reporter: that's right, jim. he seems to be in fine spirits after returning to his seat. he was helped up by a group of men and two secret service agents. but all of that after what was a long five-hour ceremony where he had shaken hands with the cadets as they were graduating, over 900 of them. so that came towards the end of the ceremony. but the focus of the ceremony and his commencement address was focused on the world and the gl globe and how it's changing. he nodded to the war in ukraine as well as china and climate change. he went on to stress the ongoing support for ukraine as well as talk about the change that is coming. talking to the cadets about how they are going to be part of that change moving forward. so that commencement address going about 30 minutes, longer than was expected, as biden
12:13 pm
stressed all of those points. and again what was a long ceremony. he has given the commencement address at the air force academy before in 2009 and 2014, both times as vice president. so this was the first time that he was addressing them as the president. again, he shook their hands as they approached the stage and took their diplomas. and then after that ended is when he tripped, fell and was quickly helped up and took his seat again. as you can see behind me, the thunderbirds are having their ceremony. so president biden going back to washington, d.c., after a pretty eventful ceremony here at the air force academy. >> the air force is always going to celebrate a little bit by flying. priscilla alvarez traveling with the president there in colorado, thank you very much. ahead on "cnn news central" leaked pentagon documents show that inran is planning attacks n u.s. troops. where and why they plan to

another trump tape that could spark another legal firestorm. this is a cnn exclusive. federal prosecutors investigating trump's handling of classified documents have audio of him in 2021 admitting that he took a classified document with him after leaving office. trump did not respond to cnn's questions about the tape while on the campaign trail today in iowa. jake tapper is joining us now.
12:19 pm
he is going to be covering this extensively next hour on his show. so, jake, first off, what's on this tape and why is it seen as so critical a piece of evidence for the special counsel? >> so cnn reporters, paula reid, katelyn polantz and kaitlin collins broke this story. what it is is an audio tape the special counsel has from july 2021. expresident trump, former president trump at bedminster meeting with some individuals that are writing an autobiography of mark meadows. on the tape we are told donald trump is pushing back on an article in which mark milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff is described as keeping trump from attacking iran. trump is angry about this and basically holds up a document. we hear the rustling of papers. we're not sure if it's actually the document in question. but he refers to a classified
12:20 pm
document that would disprove all of this, but he says he can't share it because it's classified. now, why this is significant is because that would seem to suggest that donald trump knew that just because he brought documents with him from the white house to any one of his resorts didn't automatically declassify them and that he didn't have the ability to declassify them just by thinking about them, as he claimed on fox. it seems to contradict what he has said about this publicly as well, including to our own kaitlin collins at the town hall a few weeks ago. let's roll that tape. >> the presidential records act, i was there. i took what i took. it gets declassified. >> did you ever show those classified documents to anyone? >> not really. i would have the right to. by the way, they were declassified -- >> what do you mean by not really? >> not that i can think of. i have the absolute right to do whatever i want with them. >> so that would seem to
12:21 pm
contradict that. we are going to talk to donald trump's former attorney, tim partalore about this coming up on "the lead." he was with the trump legal team until a couple of weeks ago so we'll talk to him about this and see what his response is. >> and that's going to be so interesting. we'll stay tuned for that on "the lead" coming up here at 4:00. jake tapper, thank you for being with us. jim. so legal concerns aside, what kind of national security risk is it for a document such as this to be potentially out in the open like that? cnn military analyst mark heurtling joins us now. we know an iran attack plan, classified material. you dealt with classified material commanding forces in the region before. what is the national security risk of having that outside of a
12:22 pm
secure location? >> well, first, jim, i'm glad you started off by saying outside of the legal implications of all this because that is a whole different story. what i am most concerned about as a user of classified information is how much this gives our enemies. how much the potential is for not only waiving those documents around in a room with reporters who are writing a book, but also the potential for the president to just have these documents in a friggin' golf clubhouse. that's the thing that is amazing to me. this is nowhere near a scif location where classified documents are held. he's sharing it with others, in this case reporters, but who else has he shared it with, and what does it have inside of this paperwork? allegedly it has to do with snapping back at general mark milley because of some things he recommended in terms of an
12:23 pm
iranian contingency plan. if it was that, this is dialogue between the chairman of the joint chiefs, the senior military advisor, giving potential recommendations for use of military force against a potential opponent. now, friends are interested in that and much more importantly enemies are interested in that. so if this document is just lying around, it's just indescribably bad as far as i'm concerned. >> so let me ask you, especially given you've commanded forces in the region under threat, how would u.s. service members deployed in the region feel about that sort of information not being protected given that information could conceivably impact their own safety? >> well, it signals a move or many moves or contingency operations or plans. you know, when the president was asking general milley to help as outlined in some of the articles
12:24 pm
written during that period of time, the chairman of the joint chiefs comes back with different options. all of the options put americans in harm's way. so if you're a member of a military organization and you know your commander in chief possibly has information that he's not securing, it's just very dangerous for the military operations. it's not something that we've ever experienced before in terms of a commander in chief giving away the potential contingencies or options that he has to actually deploy troops in different areas. >> so another thing we've learned from the ongoing repercussions of the discord leak, this airman who was sharing classified documents on discord, "the washington post" says the pentagon documents from that leak show that iran plans to increase attacks on u.s. troops in syria. i wonder, because we've been watching the position of iran in the region change.
12:25 pm
we're establishing diplomatic connections with iran. what is the state of the u.s./iranian relationship there, and has the chances of a direct confrontation increased given a revelation such as this? >> i think what we're talking about here in this case with the "washington post" article appeared the potential leaks through the teixeira accounts is not just engagement with irch di iran directly but the paramilitary groups they use, in this case syria. the thing that got my attention was an increase in the use of something called efps, explosively formed penetrators. this is an explosive device that truthfully ours troops, my troops, as militia came across the border and used these. these are extremely dangerous weapons. they're much more deadly than a
12:26 pm
typical ied. they can penetrate a couple of inches of armor. truthfully during the period of time iranian militias were using these in iraq, we saw more casualties than we had from simply ieds. so the fact that they could be using them in seyria and agains the kurds and the equipment the u.s. and kurdish partners have in that area is extremely dangerous. >> i believe the number put the number on 600 dead blamed on those in iraq. can the mraps, those vehicles withstand a blast from an efp? >> that's the interesting part. they can't. in some cases they can, but mraps were designed to take blasts from below as a typical ied and deflect the blast. what it does is formed melted
12:27 pm
lead that pierces the ieds. i've seen it penetrate parts of m-1 tanks as well. >> goodness. deadly indeed. general, always good to have you on. thanks so much. boris. still to come on cnn news central, police praising a jogger and 85-year-old retiree as heroes after they saved a family from their burning home. you've got to hear how this all went down. plus, is tom brady reconsidering retirement? the g.o.a.t. just answered once and for all. we'll tell you what he said. stay with us. ♪ it takes two to make a thing go right ♪ ♪ it takes two to make it outta sight ♪ ♪ one, two, get loose now ♪ ♪ it takes two to make a..... ♪ stay two nights and get a a $ 50 best western gift car. book now at bestwestern.com.m.

a short time ago, the city of davenport, iowa, gave the latest update on the catastrophic building collapse that took place over memorial day weekend. police have reduced the number of those missing to three, saying that two of those unaccounted for have been located. meantime, a city inspector has resigned over an administrative error involving a permit for the building. we also learned that the inspector visited the main street structure just three days before the partial collapse. the mayor has yet to figure out the timeline of when the building will be demolished, which he says will not involve the use of explosives.
12:33 pm
>> we are working on a timeline. we are reaching out to experts that have particular expertise in taking it down with a very dignified and respectful way. this needs to be done in a way that it respects that this is a resting place. >> cnn's adrienne broaddus is in davenport, iowa, for us. you've been speaking to family members of those still unaccounted for. what are they sharing with you? >> reporter: well, there are three people as you mentioned, boris, still unaccounted for. the family of ryan hitchcock has accepted the likelihood the person they love may never walk out. by contrast, the family of branden colvin sr. says they're still holding onto hope. i spoke with his son who bears his same name. he's been sleeping on the pavement behind me since the collapse on sunday. here's more of our conversation.
12:34 pm
>> we have finals this week. i tried to go tuesday to school and as soon as i walked in, i just broke down and was crying. i couldn't do it. being around all those people, my friends and stuff seeing me like that. i don't know if i'll be able to go to the graduation and be around all them people. i don't know if i could do it. >> would you go in there and look if they allowed you? >> yeah, i do. if they told me i could go, i'd run in there right now. >> reporter: earlier this afternoon someone did try to run inside. a man was able to get around this fence, this barricade that has been put in place to keep people out. we saw him obtain -- or taken into custody by police. during that news conference a short time ago, we learned that the families who have been

an idaho hospital is under cyberattack without functional computing systems leaving its workers in chaos scrambling to adapt. doctors and nurses at idaho falls community hospital have been forced to go analog now, resorting to old-fashioned pen and paper to chart patients' conditions and redirecting ambulances to other hospitals as a result. cnn cybersecurity reporter has more for us. this began on monday and is still under way. do we have any idea what kind of group is behind this attack? >> jim, we don't. they're not speaking out about it, the hackers. assuming this is a ransomware
12:41 pm
attack, they may want to give the hospital time to perhaps negotiate a ransom. if they don't, they may dump the data. but dialing back a second, this is still very much a fluid situation. they have shut down computer systems. they're trying to minimize the impact on patient care. they insist that they are able to care for patients and it hasn't been a big impact. however, we know for more than 24 hours they had to divert ambulances, send them to nearby hospitals, so it's definitely causing some pains. sadly, this is not a new phenomenon in the united states or elsewhere in terms of during the pandemic these ransomware a at attack, forcing hospitals to change up what they're doing and there are major impacts on patient care. >> there are reasons they go after health care because they consider the risk given lives that are at stake. there has been a pattern of ransomware attacks where groups
12:42 pm
demand money in exchange for releasing their systems here. one of the issues has been folks paying up because it sent in ca incentivize the system. >> sometimes when you're a hospital and don't have the resources, and i'm not talking about this particular case because it's still a developing situation. but if you don't have the resources to get your systems back online quickly, it may be the best course of action frankly, despite the fact that the fbi counsels victims not to pay because it encourages more attacks. but if you are talking about critical patient safety choices, you might be best to pay off. in this case we don't know. they are still responding to it. we are waiting for an update from the hospital, but it's definitely something that the biden administration has tried to cut down on in terms of cracking down. trying to lean on the russian government, if that were ever
12:43 pm
possible -- >> yes, i remember. >> -- to curtail these attacks, but it's still a problem today in the u.s. >> back when the u.s. and russia was talking, there was a specific request from biden to putin to crack down on these groups. brianna. as beloved actor bruce willis battles fronto temporal dementia, his daughter is sharing more. she writes she was in denial for years because of her own issues but now she says i can savor that time, hold my dad's hand and feel that it's wonderful. i know that trials of looming, that this is the beginning of grief, but the whole thing about loving yourself before you can love somebody else, it's real. chloe melas is joining us with more on this story. chloe, tell us a little bit about talula's own struggles. >> reporter: yes, this poignant
