6:00 am
>> i might go back. >> three times is not enough. >> he's well known for this, he saves the first couple rows of tickets because at some of his early shows, maybe the people who could afford the shows weren't enjoying it enough. i have been fortunate enough to play ticket fairy, they will go up into the nose bleed section and they find people, and they bring them down to those front two rows. those are people who really want to be at that concert and those are the people you want in the front rows who are really enjoying every moment of it. he's got a lot of true fans and he's really good to them and his crew. congrats on a great run. not over yet. >> not yet, but we are over. >> we're done. you have a great friday. we're heading into the weekend. >> we'll see you tomorrow morning. >> disaster averted.
6:01 am
today, president biden will sign into law a bipart wherein debt ceiling bill, avoiding what would have been a true economic nightmare, and this just in. an amazing may jobs report, soaring past expectations. market futures reacting. promising results. a brand-new breast cancer drug in clinical trials, decreasing the risk of recurrence for certain patients. how long before it hits the market? arizona taking drastic measures now to make sure the state has enough water. what the state is having to stop in its tracks in order to deal with the climate crisis now. this is cnn news central. >> so the stock markets open up in just a few minutes. futures are up. this is on the back of the amazing mammoth jobs report just out. we have teams of our best people
6:02 am
digging through the numbers and we'll have the highlights for you on that in just minutes. first, the big news overnight, that the senate passed the bill to suspend the debt ceiling. the president will sign it into law later and address the nation this evening. no doubt, analysts will try to assess winners and losers from the negotiations. one clear winner is the u.s. economy. the fact that the country will not default on its debt as soon as monday. the bill passed the senate overnight, 63-36. it was bipartisan. every way you look at it, it took both republicans and democrats to get it through, but it was opposed by significant numbers of both parties as well. the bill suspends the debt ceiling until after the 2024 presidential election. it caps nondefense spending at about $700 billion, and protects veterans medical care. the package will add work requirements for some adults receiving food stamps though it eases the past to receiving assistance for others. it claws back some covid relief funds and reduces by $20 billion the amount allocated to the irs
6:03 am
over the next several years. it also mandates the repayment of student loan debt by the end of the summer. again, the news, it passed the senate, will be signed into law. cnn's lauren fox on capitol hill. where the work on this is done now, lauren. >> reporter: yeah, it's a friday, and lawmakers wanted obviously to get back to their homes for the weekend. you know, those jet fumes can never be underestimated here on capitol hill. and last night, they voted and not just they voted, but they voted very, very quickly, john. holding a number of amendment votes. some of them under ten minutes, which is rare on capitol hill. but they finished this up just before midnight last night. schumer argued they were tired, but it was finished. not everyone was happy though. here's what some of the lawmakers said. >> this is about paying the ransom to a bunch of hostage takers. and that is not how we should run this government. it's not good for the people of
6:04 am
this country, and it's not good for the position of the united states all around the world. >> but the good news is we preserved and protected all of the big initiatives of the biden administration last year. but no, i don't like this. >> is it a home run? no. it's maybe a single. maybe a double, but i don't think anyone expected that kevin mccarthy could deliver any base runners at all, and he has. >> and i think a lot of lawmakers this morning on both the democratic and republican side realizing that maybe km kem was a little bit underestimated in these negotiations. you heard that there from mitt romney. one other thing i would note is this was a coalition in the middle, john, and it's a coalition that is probably going to have to come together a couple more times this year because obvious ly they have a spending deadline at the end of september. there was an argument from a lot of republicans and promises from leadership that they may move forward with another
6:05 am
supplemental on ukraine funding. expect to get those votes in the middle whether or not kevin mccarthy could potentially have issues with holding his job from the far right if he keeps making these deals. we'll keep a close eye on that. >> mitt romney with the extended baseball metaphor there. lauren fox on capitol hill, thank you very much. let's get to the white house and get the reaction there. jeremy diamond, mitt romney calls this a baseball game. how is the white house feeling tonight after the ninth inning? >> reporter: there's certainly a sense of relief here. i'm not going to try to extend the baseball metaphor any further for you, but what i can tell you is there's a sense of relief from very tired negotiators. keep in mind this is the culmination of a weeks-long process of intense negotiations and particular with three top white house officials meeting daily, shuttling sometimes multiple times a day between the white house and capitol hill to try and get to the kind of agreement that now is enshrined or set to be enshrined in law when the president signs this bill into law as soon as today.
6:06 am
the president hailing this agreement as a big win for the economy and the american people. he said, quote, no one gets everything they want in a negotiation, but make no mistake, this bipartisan agreement is a big win for our economy and the american people. and that sense of compromise and of accomplishment in a bipartisan way is certainly something we're hearing about a lot more from the white house today. they have played this process very close to the vest over the course of these negotiations, but we're finally starting to get a sense from this white house of how they feel about this agreement. the confidence in the ability to get a bipartisan deal here, but also the sense that not only does it avert that immediate possibility of default that could have come as early as monday but also because it really helped to clear the decks for the rest of president biden's term. it removes the debt ceiling issue until 2025 and incentivizes lawmakers on capitol hill to pass the government funding bills at the end of the year, disincentivizing them from a
6:07 am
potential government shutdown ahead of a next presidential election. >> jeremy diamond, great to have you at the white house. thanks so much. kate. also this morning, a new read on the u.s. economy. the may jobs numbers just released and they came in way above expectations. the data showing employers added 339,000 jobs last month, a significant gain from april's 253,000 added and well above what analysts expected. the unemployment rate rose to 3.7%, up from 3.4% the month before. let me bring in christine romans, as always, to try to figure out what to make of this. >> this is a hot job market. and that 339,000, it's actually april was revised higher, so was march. the whole spring has been stronger hiring than we thought, and the unemployment rate went up, because 110,000 people entered the labor force. they hadn't been looking for a job, now they are, also looking
6:08 am
into the household survey, there might have been more people who told the government they're not working now. overall, what businesses are saying is they were hiring like gangbusters here. it's broad based, professional and business services, 64,000. government jobs, 56,000. health care, 52,000. we just saw manufacturing pretty much down maybe 2,000 jobs there. so every place but manufacturing doing very, very well here. this is a strong report. for context, in 2019, we added just shy of 2 million jobs the entire year. that works out to be about 163,000 every month on average. look at this year. i mean, we have been way above that every single month. so this is a much, much stronger position for the labor market this year than the pre-pandemic years. >> so candidly, i'll say the same thing i always say. this is confusing to me, and i'm sure lots of others, except you
6:09 am
can make sense of it. the fed meeting later this month, what does jay powell do with this? >> he looks at the wage number, which is 4.3% for annual wage growth, a little cooler than the 4.4%, but not a lot in april. so what's good news for workers is their paychecks are fatter. kind of bad news for the fed because that can spin off inflation. i think this means the fed's work is not done. there are those economists who say maybe this is a sign of a soft landing. maybe you're going to have an overall economy slowing down but you're not going to have big cracks in the labor market. one other thing i'll say is neala richardson, they count private payrolls, she told me this week small employers, small businesses are finally doing most of the hiring because you have seen the big headlines from big companies that have paused hiring or had layoffs. finally small business owners who have been deserate to get workers, they're the ones who have a shot at getting workers and that's good for the economy.
6:10 am
>> super interesting. wow, thank you, christine. yawn. new overnight, former president trump responded for the first time to exclusive cnn reporting about a 2021 recording in which he acknowledges holding on to a classified pentagon document. trump now claiming he knows nothing about it. cnn's paula reed, part of the team that broke this story, is with us now. so paula, where does that leave things? >> reporter: well, this is the first time that former president has responded to our reporting here. and i want to remind folks before we listen to exactly what he said, in this recording, our sources say he was aware that he was being taped. this was back in the summer of 2021, in the room, where not only some of his aides but also peek working on a book for his former chief of staff, mark meadows. during this time, trump wanted all conversations with writers, with reporters, to be recorded. and still, we hear according to our sores on the tape, him discussing the possession of a
6:11 am
classified document, and let's take a listen to what he said when he was asked about this. >> well, all i know is this, everything i did was right. we have the presidential records act, which i abided by 100%. it's a continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all time. it's a hoax. and it has to do -- it has to do more than anything else with trying to interfere with the election. >> that's a familiar refrain that we have heard from the former president, that he did nothing wrong. whenever there are questions about his conduct, but unlike some of the other incidents, here of course, the big news is that there is a recording of the former president in his own words revealing, claiming he had a classified document, suggesting he would like to share it, but acknowledging the limits of his ability to do so. this recording is significant for many reasons but it really undercuts all of the public defenses that he and his lawyers
6:12 am
have given for why he was in possession of classified materials. so again, this recording suggests everything that his lawyers and his associates have said for the past year may not be correct. so i leave it to the voters to decide whether he's being truthful here as well. >> it may be up to prosecutors ultimately. >> it's not -- you're right, it's not a crime to lie to the media. i always say that, but yes, i agree with you. prosecutors are also looking at whether he's being truthful here or not. >> this work is super significant. thank you for joining us this morning. appreciate it. kate. the 2024 republican field, it is expanding quickly now. at the front of the pack, of course, still remains the front-runner, donald trump, and also florida governor ron desantis. allies turned frenemies to now what we're seeing is out and out rivals on the campaign trail. we round out this week seeing clearly they'll be taking each other on quite directly and personally in this campaign,
6:13 am
even on something as small as how the governor pronounces his last name. here's that back and forth from yesterday. >> you don't change your name in the middle of an election. change his name in the middle of the election. you don't do that. you do it before or after, but ideally you don't do it at all. >> it's so petty, so juvenile. i don't think that's what voters want. i think that's one of the reasons he's not in the white house now. he alienated too many voters for things that really don't matter. >> joining us right now, republican strategist, former communications director for the republican national committee, good to see you, doug. doug, going on the attack against donald trump, it is a choice. and it was a big question, kind of in the lead-up to ron desantis getting into the race, how he was going to do it, if he was going do it. do you think ron desantis needs to take this approach or is there another way to take down donald trump? >> well, i think very clearly, we know that the nomination goes
6:14 am
through donald trump. you can't go around him and hope to avoid his gaze, his glare, or his attacks. so at some point, as trump was attacking desantis, desantis was going to have to respond. we're starting to see that right now. what desantis said is ultimately true. so much of what we have seen with donald trump is petty name calling and the things that when we have a global pandemic and we have an economy that's somewhat on the brink, voters want real answers and real solutions. desantis is smart to take this to trump. what we don't know is whether or not this will be successful. we saw some candidates in 2016 try to take it to trump and basically fail. >> that's the unknown that we have soosee. what are the lessons from 2016 in the primary. with the name pronunciation, that was kind of trump punch first and ron desantis punch back. and now i want to play another example for you. this is ron desantis jabbing first, taking on trump about the
6:15 am
fact that donald trump can now only serve one more term. listen to this. >> it will require a daily grind for not just one term but i think for two full presidential terms. >> when he says eight years every time i hear it i once because if it takes eight years to turn this around, you don't want him as your president. >> why didn't he do it his first four years? >> i'm seeing this -- seeing the back and forth, some of the things we follow, but does it matter what they're going after each other about? because these couple examples, really what we have seen so far, it's not taking each other on on policy, not even character. >> yeah, look, when you have a last name like mine, and thank you for pronouncing it correctly, name pronunciation is a critical issue. >> if i mispronounced your name after the years i have known you, it's a fireable offense. >> ultimately, voters are going
6:16 am
to want to see two things. they want to see fight. republican primary voters love to hear their candidates, whether it's in the house, senate, or gubernatorial race, talk about their eagerness and willingness to fight. they also wants and need to see that you don't just have that eagerness, but that you have the ability to land a punch, to win a round, and ultimately knock out your opponent, which is where some of these candidates who talk about fighting the most ultimately fall short. desantis makes an important point here, which is a multi-tiered one. it's going to take eight years. that means two things. one, donald trump can't serve eight years. he can only do one more term. it also re-enforced with trump and biden the age issue. desantis is obviously a lot younger. he's in his 40s. he's going to highlight that as much as he can, whether he does it avovertleor things like this. >> "the new york times" and politico picked up on something, how ron desantis right now is talking about the issue of
6:17 am
abortion. abortion roights and access. in iowa since he hit the trail, he took the approach in several stops talking about the six-week abortion ban that he approved in the state of florida. that's in iowa, but in more moderate new hampshire, he did not bring that up when speaking to voters. smart politicians as we know, they cater their message to their audience. but on this issue specifically, which is going to be an issue in this election, on abortion, can you have it both ways? >> well, you know, look, ron desantis is one of the more interesting candidates in how he communicates. he's very methodical when he takes on a culture war on what he says, when he says it, and abortion is an issue he hasn't talked about a lot despite signing this six-week abortion ban. when you're a candidate, you do tailor your message. in iowa, if you're talking to the form bureau and the des moines chamber of commerce, those are different audiences.
6:18 am
if you're desantis or any of the other candidates, but a governor who signed a ban, you're not going to be able to avoid the issue. you may not proactively talk about it lot, but you better be prepared because it's going to come up. >> great to see you, doug. thank you. >> thank you. we're seeing they're taking it to each other very directly. >> really interesting to see where each chooses to focus. the idea this could go on for months and months and months. >> if this is where it starts, where are we at eight months, if that's kind of, i hope my calendar path is work, right before iowa, very interesting. so the ground is so dry in phoenix, state authorities are halting all permits for new building. why this could be a sign of trouble elsewhere. police have arrested a man who confessed to killing two people, including his former roommate. now they fear they may have a serial killer on their hands. and a settlement reached between alec baldwin and the family of the cinematographer

6:25 am
you're looking for me. and according to an arrest warrant affidavit, that sparked a 14-minute phone call where he confessed to two murders. the first one he talked about wlauz a murder that happened in austin in the austin area earlier in may. it was his roommate, 80-year-old jesse fraga who was murdered, and then mesa according to this affidavit, went on to essentially confess to murdering a neighbor named gloria lofton, who was 66 years old, back in 2019. as you heard from investigators there say based on all of this, now they are thinking there's a possibility that mesa is connected to eight to ten other murders where the circumstances are very similar. so they're looking into all of that as well. and when mesa was arrested a few days ago, they found he had a bag with duct tape, zip ties, and a gun. as you heard the investigator there say, they believe he was
6:26 am
plotting some other attack. now, mesa has a long criminal history, back in 1982, he was arrested and convicted of murdering an 8-year-old girl and served about 11 years in prison before he was released on good behavior, according to reports. he's been in and out of the prison system ever since. in that phone call with the investigator on may 24th, said he was released from prison in 2016 and shortly after started committing murders again. really troubling story. >> all the way back to 1982, and here we are in 2023 and he's now arrested. wow. after committing even more murders. allegedly, and the investigation. thank you so much, ed. really appreciate it. john. this morning, officials in arizona are taking drastic measures to protect the water supply. the state will no longer grant permits for new developments in phoenix. groundwater there is rapidly disappearing, following years of overuse and drought. the governor there, katie hobbs,
6:27 am
is trying to be reassuring saying this does not mean there's a threat to water supply for current residents. she wrote water supplies for homeowners and businesses are protected, and sthee added, we're not out of water and we will not be running out of water. cnn's chief climate correspondent bill weir joins us now. i have to say, i'm not sure i have ever heard of anything like this in a place as big as phoenix. just talk to me about the s significance of this move. >> reporter: well, it feels like a seminole moment after generations where the west was built by speculators and developers going out into raw desert and saying i can picture 1,000 homes here. these days, there's just not enough water for those 1,000 homes for the next century. that's the law in arizona. you want to build somewhere, you better guarantee a century's worth of water for the people. right now, the governor who ran on sort of a platform of water transparency, says it's time to shut it down. here's governor hobbs.
6:28 am
>> that's why as required by law, we will pause approvals of new assured water supply determinations that rely on pumping groundwater. insuring that we don't add to any future deficit. >> reporter: this now forces developers to figure out this well in advance, whether that means buying rights from ranchers or native tribes nearby, maybe thinking about developing higher instead of wider in these big boom towns in the west. but it really, like you said, john, signifies a new age. especially mega drought, climate change, and these booming populations. >> the first may not be the last. bill weir, thank you so much for your reporting this morning. kate. coming up for us, for the sixth time in six days, russia bombarding ukraine's capital with drones and missiles. a live report from ukraine, that is coming up next. and there are now new questions this morning about what led to that partial

6:34 am
past expectations. the new data, which was just released last hour, shows employers added 339,000 jobs last month. expectations were for 190,000. you can see how much of a beat that was. the unemployment rate did rise to 3.7%. ukraine's military says it repelled another wave of strikes from russia overnight. military officials saying they took out more than three dozen drones and missiles targeting the country. many aimed at the capital. here we're going to she you residents sheltering in underground subways in kyiv. this is an underground subway station in kyiv. facing down the sixth attack on the capital in just six days. and in russia, the governor of the russian border region of belgrade reported two deaths from falling debris, growing a number of russian leaders reporting attacks. do people see this now kind of
6:35 am
as part of a new normal? strikes, and the continued bombardment of kyiv and an escalating amount of attacks on russian soil? >> reporter: well, the life in kyiv or kharkiv where i am, you live with the potential for air strikes and have done for more than a year. both cities were the scene of very intensive systematic attacks over a large scale against civilians at the beginning of this war. over the last month, kyiv has been once again the focus of the russian air campaign. and what the ukrainians are now doing through proxies such as russian citizens working with the ukrainian military, is crossing now into russia and taking some of the war back to russia. they have also been increasing drone strikes, so we have got these reports of two dead in belgrade province, that's just about a half hour's drive from where i am now.
6:36 am
at least the edge of that province. the border between the two countries, there's been some kind of drone strike against oil facilities there. and these russian dissidents operating under the banner of the ukrainians, at least inside ukraine, thigh cross into russia and provide operations there. this provoking vladimir putin to recognize this is destabilizing for his country and insisting sending a message to his countrymen saying we mustn't let them do that. but figures such as evgeni prugoshen has described the russian military leadership as clowns in his word and saying they're offering that he ought to be moving his mercenaries to be protecting russian territory out of ukraine. it's that kind of effect that the ukrainians most want to see, kate. >> sam kiley in kharkiv, ukraine. thank you, sam. john. very shortly, we're expecting an announcement from officials in davenport, iowa, at

the site of the apartment building collapse. three people still missing there. two others who were previously unaccounted for were found safe. officials now say that repair work had begun just days before the collapse. the city released photos showing what appears to be a void forming between the facade and the interior wall. they were -- there were also crumbled bricks in that space. adrian broaddus joins us now with the latest. what are you learning? >> reporter: john, good morning to you. according to the city's mayor, they are still working on a timeline when it comes to determining the demolition of that building. and they're working with experts, including those who worked on the building in surfside florida, you may remember, in june last year, that collapse killed more than 90 people. here's the thing. we have been talking about the number of people who are missing. that number has decreased to three. two were found safely, but we

6:46 am
halyna hutchins. her husband filing this wrongful death suit shortly after the death of his wife citing recklessness on the set. the financial details have been kept under wraps mainly because we're dealing with a minor here. their son who is one of the beneficiaries of the settlement was 9 at the time of his mother's death. he's now 11. i want to read you a little bit of what the judge said in the agreement that cnn has obtained, writing that the settlement is, quote, fair, appropriate, and in the best interest of andros. this is the judge speaking. we know there are going to be two payments made, one when he's 18 years old, another when he is 22. i also want to take a step back here and look at the timing of all of this. this is coming as the film has just completed filming. alec baldwin went back, same with the director, joel souza, who had been also injured that day that a live round was fired by alec baldwin's prop gun. and they just finished that filming in montana.
