economic disaster. live to the white house where president biden is preparing to sign the bill and address the nation later today. a contractor this morning says he raised the alarm about an apartment building in davenport, iowa, warning it was a death trap before that building collapsed. as of this morning three men remain missing. and erica, i don't know if you heard, but america has a new spelling bee champion. that young man will join us live this hour on "cnn this morning" which starts right now. ♪ >> well, this morning the debt limit crisis appears to be finally over. the senate passed the deal late last night and president biden is set to sign it into law today. he is also planning to address the nation from the white house later tonight. this comes a few days before a potential default could have

wreaked havoc on the just economy and global economy. we are keeping a close eye on wall street. >> chuck schumer hailing the deal as a victory for democrats. >> house republicans were ready to take default hostage in order to pass a radical, hard-right agenda that never could have passed with the american people. so many of the destructive provisions in the republican bill are gone. this bill was a total rejection of what the republicans wanted and look at the vote. that proves that our strategy was the right strategy. >> great strategy but not every democrat is excited about what came of that strategy, in fact. some refusing to support the bill, voting against it. one of the biggest complaints stricter work requirements when it comes to s.n.a.p. benefits,

commonly known as food stamps. >> should never been put in this position to begin with. this is about paying the ransom to a bunch of hostage takers and that's not how we should run this government. it's not good for the people of this country. >> phil mattingly joining us live this morning. president biden is praising chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell for getting this done quickly and it was very fast as the senate goes, which is good news. now we keep moving forward until the signing a little bit later today? >> reporter: yeah, that's far more reflective of senators who wanted to get home than the debt deadline. i appreciate the caveat, the debt limit appears to be over. until the president signs this into law, fair to be cautious about things. the reality right now is in washington there is a big sigh of relief to some degree. one white house official i was texting with last night during the amendment and final passage vote process asked, what are you going to do now? exhale was the one-word

response. it underscores how all-consuming this fight, this issue, and i think the stakes here have been over the course of not the just last several weeks, but, you know, democrats, including senior white house officials, were talking about this shortly after republicans won the majority in midterm midterm elections last year. they knew this was going to be a huge fight and no one was sure how they were going to get out of this. the act to reach on outcome and a bipartisan outcome and yes there are frustrated democrats, a number of frustrated republicans, that's the space the president, a, always assumed they would end up in, according to officials, but a space he is comfortable with. it's interesting. after the vote last night, late last night, they added to the schedule these oval office remarks tonight at 7:00 p.m. it will be the first by my count oval office address the president has given since he has been in office. white house officials while they are happy where this ended up given the fact it divided

government, cog any nizant of t fact there is frustration this isn't a good process to go through for the sake of the u.s. government. it kind of clears the decks going forward. going forward where you don't have this looming over everything, clear stalemates or back and forths going on is important for washington, this white house, particularly this white house as it engages more heavily in a re-election campaign, but the entire country. the pathway forward. >> the relationship he started to establish with the speaker of the house, they didn't know each other that well before this, all of those are elements you are going to hear from tonight. i think the biggest thing and takeaway by far is this has been hanging over everything. it is now gone. what does that mean? i think the president's gonna outline that tonight. >> that's an interesting point because i think one of the things that came out of this long process appears to be a new working relationship between

president biden and speaker mccarthy. this was some would say a really big test for mccarthy, one of his first. what do we know about what ato be a new working relationship? >> reporter: white house officials are weary to give credit to to house republicans on anything. same for house republicans as well. they are cognizant of the fact that almost every step of the way the speaker did things or accomplished things within his conference particularly after 15 votes just to become speaker that wasn't necessarily expected. more importantly, and you make a great point, the president knew the speaker. they met when the president was vice president, had breakfast a few times in mccarthy's role as majority leader back then, but didn't have a long-term working relationship, weren't very close. this was an opportunity to start to establish that. they are not good friends. this is not something that's going to lead to major bipartisan revolutionary legislation in the weeks and months ahead, but the opportunity, even in kind of a crisis moment, that you never want to be in, to actually have

discussions where according to people that i have spoken to, felt like mccarthy was an honest broker, felt he was serious, professional, and also said every single time he made clear they needed to find an outcome here they could not default. the policy disagreements, obviously, very, very acute, very, very real. the ability to get this over the finish line and the president's view and the white house team's view that that relationship was at least effective in this moment, even if it was a self-imposed crisis, that's important for a town that hasn't seen a lot of cooperation between the two parties over the course of the last several years. >> that's putting it very nicely. not a lot of cooperation. it will be interesting to see how that plays out moving forward. president biden took what looked like hard fall at the fair force academy commencement yesterday. was springing off, you know, when he got back to the white house later in day. what are you hearing from the white house? >> reporter: his current state was indicative of the jig he did he got become to the white

house. we wanted to ask him how he what doing. we heard from officials he was fine. wanted to hear from president. made a joke about it. said he got sandbagged. clever. although he had a couple of hours on a flight to come up with it. everything that we've heard is he is totally fine, moving fine last night. the fall as you noted when you saw it happen live, was hard, fast, everybody was very concerned. he is 80. that's the reality here of anytime the president stumbles or looks any bit uneven got back to his seat on his own volition. the cull spprit was a sandbag. everything seems to be fine. >> you have those calls out. let us know when you hear back from the sandbag or its folks. >> also, phil, thank you. only phil could make that joke because phil is very quick with the jokes. >> he doesn't need two hours on air force one to come up with that. >> thank you. joining us now for more the assistant democratic leader

congressman james clyburn of south carolina, the national co-chair for joe biden's 2024 campaign. let's p if we could, we were just talking with phil mattingly, our chief white house correspondent, about this new working relationship between the president and the speaker. does this set a tone for congress moving forward? do you anticipate it could lead to a little bit more cooperation even with 2024 looming over? >> well, i certainly hope so. i think that all of us are looking forward to a future that will be one that every american can be a part of and feel a part of. and i think that has -- that depends upon whether or not people feel those of us working in washington, irrespective of which party we may be a member

of, that we can work together. i have worked with republicans all of my political life. i get along very well with the republican governor of south carolina, who is someone that i feel very friendly with. but we don't agree on anything politically. so we can do this. i tell people all the time that we should really view our relationships there in the congress pretty much the way we review our relationships in our families. we don't get along all the time, but we stay unified. >> i am going to see if that can happen moving forward. when we look at this bill in particular, i know you said, tweeted, this wasn't a perfect bell u bill. you were yes on it. number of your colleagues had concerns, whether there was concerns about changes to s.n.a.p. benefits or even to,

you know, to this mountain view pipeline a major concession to senator manchin. that has been criticized for serious environmental concerns. senator merkel said that was one of the main reasons he voted against the bill. did any of those issues give you pause? >> yes, quite a few of them gave me pause. but when you have negotiations taking place and you're trying to find common ground, it means you are starting out from different places. the work requirements, for instance. i have always had serious issues with that. but when you saw what president biden was doing here, agreeing to increasing the work requirements for able-bodied people about five years in exchange for expanding to bring in more veterans, people out of

foster care, and to bring in homeless people, that to me was a pretty good trade-off. and so when i saw that, i talked to people in my caucus, lauren underwood, glen moore, people had real good experiences with these programs and we saw in it a way to offset whatever that raise about five years may have been. i was very comfortable going forward. >> you said that a lot of what was agreed to will require some additional action in the analysis to get some of these, you know, cuts that are promised in the deal. there will need to be other votes. do you have any concerns about that process? >> oh, sure. when you get to the appropriations process, there is always a lot of give and take. from the appropriations committee, i know that process very well. very laborious.

takes a long time. sometimes to find common ground. so you are going to go through a process here that all of us are concerned about. but, hopefully, we can get all of this done by labor day and people will be comfortable that we will have a good budget to work on starting the fiscal year october 1. >> as we mentioned, you are the co-chair for the president's re-election campaign. we saw that hard fall. then we saw as our phil mattingly said his jig when he got off the plane making a joke. have you been in touch with the president in terms of how he is doing this morning, how he is feeling? >> i have not talked to the president this morning. i plan to talk with him later today. i saw him arriving back at the white house last night doing his little jig. i think that irrespective of whether it took him two hours to come up with it, given sandbag

was a pretty good way to respond to this. >> so you would endorse that joke. look, he is going to get a lit pushback. i don't need to tell you much made of his age. are you concerned at all this will have an impact on the campaign? >> yes. i have been saying all the time, age will have an impact. but whether or not it's determinative, i think that will determine what, depend upon whether or not he responds going forward and the way he responds. look, i'm more than two years older than the president and i do just fine. i am not going to have a fall. if i do, i hope to get up as good as he does. >> we'll look for your joke afterwards, too. thank you. >> thank you for having me. new details on what happened in the days leading up to that partial building collapse in davenport, iowa. newly released documents reveal

repair work beginning just four days before the wall came crashing down and engineers warned parts could crumble. the work was intended to rectify a separation between the facade and the interior wall. photos taking may 25 by city inspectors show crumbled bricks in the space between. the section of the wall being repaired ultimately was the section that fell. three people who lived there remain missing. joining us now, a structural building engineer. welcome to the program. i have to start with this. how is it possible engineer could warn parts were crumble but people were still allowed to live there? >> it comes down to the laws in place. building departments, depending on your jurisdiction, have a lot of say or don't have a lot of say into how they are going to manage these things because you are always going to have structure engineers that can say, look, there is a problem here and it's up to the building department and the authority having jurisdiction to say,

look, we need to get these people out of here, or no, they can stay. sometimes it's a complicated issue. you have people that live in these buildings. as the buildings keep failing like what happened at champlain towers, it is indeed a serious life safety issue. >> i understand there is a process. there are bureaucracies. when we see that dire warning, when we see the pictures, i mean, does that give you pause that in fact those details were known four days ebefore and nothing happened? does that look serious enough to you to push something through? >> well, having inspected thousands of buildings in south florida, you are always going to see tell-tale signs. when i inspected the surfside collapse before to collapsed at the champlain towers, i saw tell-tale signs. cracks in certain places.

but it was a far cry from what i would consider somebody, you know, having -- look, you know, you need to get rid of all these people because a lot of things come into play. the pictures that i saw in the news, yes, there were some very serious issues of, you know, some of the main walls of the structure this major cracks and deflections on it. something that would give you serious pause as a structural engineer. but then again, it all comes down to, you know, what the engineer says and how the people in charge of getting rid of these people are going to react to that. hopefully, you know, a tragedy like this people will learn, as have happened in florida. now new laws come into play. >> guys in the control room, if we can pull up the picture of the bricks that had crumbled behind the facade. if you can see this, can you explain to me how this would happen and what this does to the

stability of the building? >> as a structural engineer, you are basically a -- we don't have x-ray vision. a lot of times if you have enough experience, and i have 30 years of experience doing this, you see tell-tale signs and red flags. and when you have certain items such as what you are seeing on the screen, that helps to paint a picture. sometimes the picture is painted where you have definite serious issues like the ones we are looking at here and tisometimes you have something that is not as serious. it comes down to the experience of the engineer and those professionals looking at the building. >> thank you. we are expecting another update today from officials in davenport. thank you, greg. appreciate the time today. >> thank you. a texas cheerleader shot, you may recall this story, her friend opened the wrong car door. she is speaking out for the first time.

phoenix. this of course would threaten that. this is among the fastest growing in the united states. joining us, cnn chief climate correspondent bill weir. this isn't the first time we talked about arizona's water issues, in relation to new housing developments. what's interesting is the officials are much more public in this case and actually talking about the fact that they are going to stop the permits. why? >> well, katie hobbs ran on a platform of water transparency, accountability, in an age when there is a lot of water math that goes on behind the scenes, shutting down construction is a big hit on jobs in the near term. that's a last resort things most governors don't want to talk about. the bottom line is this is sort of the result of the wild west days. for generations, they were able to pump whatever groundwater they wanted in arizona without any sort of regulations. they tightened that in the cities in recent years. this is a moment in time we are

realizing the days of the developer going out into raw desert and saying i am going to build a thousand homes here are over unless you can guarantee that you have the water for those thousand homes for the next 100 years. plenty of cities around phoenix have that guarantee and they can continue to keep growing, but this is sort of a line in the sand, forgive the pun, that endless desert sprawl doesn't work in the age of climate and mega drought. >> as you say, the report does state that no new certifications will be issued unless communities and developers find alternative water sources. is that really feasible? >> reporter: it is. you could buy it from farmers who have the rights or figure out a way to tap some of the salt river. they have three rivers in phoenix in addition to the colorado there. keep in mind where the most water use goes, for example. the colorado river, the almost 2 trillion gallons that goes in there, 56% goes into cow food

for dairy and cattle farms and other crops. only 15% goes to cities. and cities like vegas and others have shown models of conservation, recycling. mark kelly, the senator of arizona, is a big fan of desalination, the technology to turn salt walter into fresh. who knows? it's a different thinking. it doesn't mean we are running out of water, but you have to think differently about conserving every drop in this new age. and that can be done. it can be done. >> right. how does impact, if at all, this report not just from a housing perspective, but other existing issues in arizona whether it's alfalfa crops or golf courses, does that come into play at all in terms of how they are using the water? >> reporter: i think it is all part of a whole. absolutely. golf courses are the most obvious water users. at the same time, like an

average semiconductor factor uses 10 gallons a day to make the chips that go into our devices. the alfalfa, the thirsty crops in the desert. maybe move cattle food crops closer to big water sources in the midwest. that's cold comfort if you are raising alfalfa or cattle in the desert. this is the new era. it could be denser cities like phoenix where they build up instead of out. so, you know, it's living with this is all possible, but just not the old-fashioned way that people did for generations without thinking about it. >> have to think more creativity which is what we get from you. you bring us these fascinating stories. thank you. and staying in arizona now. a key arizona republican county supervisor bill gates says he will not reseek election.

roth was released at the scene. washington was in critical condition after being shot multiple times. well, today washington is out of the hospital. officially a high school graduate. she tells "good morning america's" michael strahan what happened after that attack. >> i was trying to stay as calm as possible for the other people in the car. i could tell how sad and scared they were. the more calm you are, like, your body will stay calm as well. so i mean, of course, it was scary, but i wasn't gonna act like i was scared. >> so you're shot and you are keeping everyone else calm. >> i tried. i saw blood on my passenger's seat. i knew someone was bleeding. i didn't know where. whenever we pulled over and old the doors, i got to throw up, i was throwing up blood and i was like that's not normal. that's when i knew something somewhere was wrong. >> and washington says she does have permanent damage. however, she also plans to go back to cheerleading next month.

she will be attending baylor university in the fall. wow. >> that's incredible. interesting when it happened her cheerleading supervisor says she is very strong. to tell michael strahan, she was worried about the other people in the car. incredible. people died on mount everest this season, making it one of the deadliest. we will speak to an american climber who made historiy on th momountain swweeks ago. that's coming up next. into a low-rate personal loaoan from sofi. get a personal loan with low low fixed rates,, and borrow up to $100k. sofi get your money right. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable,

airlifted to safety. that hero sherpa tells cnn it was one of the hardest things he has ever done. >> it was like difficult because i did like more than my 55 -- like hardest in my life. i did like long line, the rescues. but it was very hard rescue. like very hard to do, the rescue, like -- >> i'll say. an american mountain guide has reached the everest summit 13 sometimes since 2016. welcome to the program. the de what is happening? >> well, this season was colder than mnormal on mount everest partially due raps to climate change. the temperatures were well below their averages the last few years. so climbers struggled and suffered up high dealing with

the colder temps in the summit period from mid-to-late may. >> is there also an issue -- and i remember having a discussion about this last year over concerns about crowding, that there may be too many people trying to summit. is that playing a role as well? >> well, mount everest is an iconic mountain, a very magical place, and many people want to visit the mountain and climb to the top. so every year we see more and more demand for climbers wanting to go to mount everest, and the northern side of the mountain in tibet has been closed the last few seasons. so nepal has been the only access point to the mountain. we have seen more and more climbers over the years. >> garrett, i think climbing mount everest is a thing people throw around as sort of one of those goals. what goes into training for something like that? >> oh, lots of other climbing around the world. we require our climbers to have been on several five, 6,000-meter peaks up to 20,000 feet to prove they are competent, capable and prepared

for a mount everest expedition. we want our climbers to be ready to take on the challenges and the death zone at 8,000 meters, 25,000 feet where life is very fragile. >> does anything that you have seen over the last -- over past season, would that give you pause or change what you would maybe say to some of your clients? >> well, i think every time we go up the mountain and we realize we're potentially closer to death, it makes us feel more alive. so i think i'll keep going back as long as i can. the views from the top are stunning and spectacular and to share that experience with our team, other climbers who have had this bucket list goal for a long time and been working towards it and training for many years, it's very rewarding for me to share that with them. >> garrett madison, appreciate your perspective. the latest jobs report out moments ago. our business team crunching the numbers as we speak. the 14-year-old crowned the best speller in the nation, he is gonna join us live.

welcome back. this just into cnn. new data from the u.s. labor department shows the u.s. economy added 339,000 new jobs in may, much more than we expected. >> cnn chief business correspondent christine romans joining us now. i can't keep track. i don't cover the economy. this is yet again way beyond expectations. >> h339,000, that is way more, soaring past expectations and what is the most since january of this year and the jobless rate going up to 3.7%, but going up for a really good reason, because a lot of people, more than 100,000 people entered the job market. so they are out there trying to get work. so that means the jobless raise rises a little bit. let's look at the graph of that jobless rate. it's been in the trend of 3.4 to

3.7% for months and months and months. that is historically low, a tight labor market. that means that there are workers who are able to find jobs if they want one. if in fact, there are more job openings than there are workers to fill them. jobs added, that number, 339,000, i told you the best since the beginning of the year p but the prior two months behind me were revised higher as well. so the tally here since the fed started raising interest rates, 14 months ago, we have added 5.1 million jobs. and it was in almost every cat grand goer. in offices, hospitals, in bars, in restaurants, in hotels, adding jobs here in this economy. so for some context, in 2019 the average monthly job cocgain was 163,000, and that was a strong economy in 2019 before the pandemic. we're running twice that rate right now, you guys.

what does it mean for the fed? the fed has been trying to cool it down. we saw wages grow 4.3%. a little bit cooler, but still pretty warm here. it might mean the fed still has more work to do to make sure that you a don't have inflation percolating in in economy. >> a great point because two of the bright spots the labor market and consumer spending and the relationship between the labor market powering consumer spending. >> that's why i think the consumer has been able to weather all of these worries about inflation because the jobs are still plentiful here. that's just bottom line, present. jobs. we know earlier this week, look, small businesses are leading a lot of this hiring because some of the big companies have sort of paused their hiring plans. that makes the small businesses for the first time in a long time more competitive and able to get workers. >> which great, too, because you that competitive small business. >> absolutely. >> we talk about building up small businesses. wins all around. happy friday. >> mm-hmm. >> sort of. >> well, i mean, happy if you

are -- >> a caution happy friday. >> the fed would like to see things cool down. for the typical person, these are good numbers. >> i will go with typical person. >> we will take it. good right now. thank you. all right. let's talk sports. >> a little sports. >> the denver nuggets cruising past the miami heat in game one of the nba finals. nikola jokic led the way with a 27-point, 14-assist and ten rebounds in denver's win. he is the second player to record a triple-double in his first nba finals game. by the way, teams that win game one on their home floor go on to win the series nearly 78% of the time. >> wow. >> sunday night in denver. >> the heat don't like that stat. they are focusing on the 22%. >> andy schultz brought that to us earlier. we will be watching sunday night. meantime, tom brady shutting down all the rumors in the

speculation that he may unretire again and making an nfl come back with the radars. he says he is officially moving on. he totally means it, guys, it's gonna happen, moving on to tv and being a minority owner in las vegas. >> i am certain i am not playing again, so i have tried to make that a clear -- i hate to continue to profess that because i have already told people that lots of times. but i am looking forward to my broadcasts job at fox next year. i am looking forward to the opportunity with the raiders, we are in the process of that and other things i am a part of professionally and my personal life, spending as much time with my kids and seeing them grow up and support the things that they have going on and that's a very important job. >> i mean, he says he is not playing again. but is though? >> i don't know. >> is he? >> i don't know, ask john berman, his number one fan. >> seriously. how do you spell champion? that one is easy.

>> that is correct.

>> that is correct. >> i love the look of shock on his face. that is dev shah, the champion for this year's scripps national spelling bee. he correctly spelled that word you just heard. in case you would like to know what that is, it's an organism that prefers or thrived in sandy soils or areas. perhaps it would be happy in

some areas of florida. dev shah joining us now from national harbor, maryland. congratulations. we checked with you on the break. you said this still hasn't sunk in. but you've got it, you did it. this is your third time. you won. what was that moment like for you? >> it was surreal. i didn't even know if it was happening, if it was real or not, but it clearly happened. >> and hopefully you're feeling a little bit more grounded this morning, dev. so you had previously tied for 51st place in 2019. then you finished tied for 76th in 2021. did you do anything different this year to train? >> yeah. i reviewed my missed words, the words i had trouble with more, and i focused more on like

roots, so in the case that i get a word i don't know, i could piece it out together. >> roots. remember those from the s.a.t. days. very helpful, dev. >> focusing on the roots. a lot of people, we watch this, by a lot of people, i mean me, i watch and think some of these words i wouldn't know where to begin. how important is it that you have those roots in your head so when you hear a word, you go, ah, i think i know how that can start and end? >> it's pretty important because it could be used as a backup plan, too, because when you're on stage, the nerves do get to you, even though if spellers don't show it, the nerves do get to us, and pressure does get to us. if you forget a word, you can piece it together like a backup plan. >> you kept your calm under pressure. dev, what do you enjoy most about being a spelling bee champ

all of these years as you have taken part in the different championships? >> it feels good. it feels like a dream come true, i guess. >> yeah? pretty great dream. as i understand it, you're the only representative for the state of florida. and you take home the championship, which is pretty impressive. and $50,000. any big plans for that big chunk of change you're taking? >> i'll probably just split it and relax, i guess. i don't know yet. i didn't even know if i was going to win yesterday. i didn't plan too far ahead. >> fair enough. fair point. can i ask, your normal everyday 14-year-old life, are you whipping out some of these words that erica and i are still trying to figure out what they mean, or is this just for special occasions and championships? >> special occasions. i don't talk about this in

public very often. >> no? >> listen, i think you should shout it from the rooftops. it's so impressive what you have done. i bet your family was pretty excited. what was that conversation like after yesterday? >> it was good. like, my parents and my brother were really proud. and that made me happy. >> yeah. well, dev, we're so proud of you. congratulations. if it means anything at all, erica and i were both once upon a time great spellers too. >> yeah, fifth grade, nailed it. congrats, great to have you with us this morning. good luck with everything. >> thank you. well, coming up and ahead on cnn, former president trump responding to cnn's exclusive reporting that prosecutors have him on tape acknowledging that he held on to a classified document once he left office. we'll tell you what he said. n ae
