donald trump and ron desantis are kicking off the campaigning going after each the other not after policy, but how he pronounces his name. and venmo and how a watchdog company says that your money could be lost for good. and the live fire drills lost in south korea, and simulating a full scale attack from the north. this is cnn "news central."

the job support job report out shattered expectations. employers added 329,000 jobs which is way more than the 190,000 that was expected. the jobs did tip up to more people entering the workforce looking for jobs. the federal reserve is looking to this report as to whether or not to raise more the interest rates. >> wow. this is more than was thought. you are looking at the big headlines of the big companies doing the layoffs, but small businesses can finally get their hands on workers and hire.

and the hiring here is broad based and centered here. tech workers and hospitals and nursing homes and construction sites and everything but manufacturing, because there is a little bit of weakness in manufacturing, and it is showing strong hiring. >> it is showing the signs of resiliency in the signs of everyone taking the 39,000 jobs and new added, and christine, you pointed out new interesting numbers related to women. >> the workforce sales force of women 29-54, the biggest share of those in history are working, and two reasons, the hybrid work makes it better for situation for women to be working, better management, and also high inflation might mean that they have to go to back to work. >> this is the jobs report here, christine romans, and people can see it going up.

>> and the fed has been raising the interest rates 14 or 15 months, since march of last year, and this economy has reci recited 4.5 million jobs since the fed has been trying to cool off. so the average monthly job gain is 163, and you don't see any of them here, because every month is stronger than a typical month since the pandemic. >> christine romans, wow. >> wow. >> and jeremy dimon is there, and what are the officials saying? >> well, that rethrilled with the number, and president biden is saying that it is a good day for the american economy and worker, and though he does not address the fact that the american unemployment rated tick up 3.7 to 3.9%, this is a stretch of 16 months straight of

unemployment under that level, and wages are continuing to grow. what is also clear, and something that the president wanted to note, and that we might hear from the president tonight in the oval office address is that the debt ceiling deal is linked to the future of the economy, and that it is going to protect some of the key policies, and that he says is the evidence that it is going to work, and due to the historic action taken by cob ngress this week, that the plan is going to work in communities throughout the plan, and that this is his historic, and the economic recovery that the workers have made in the last two years. the debt ceiling deal is not just protecting the inflation reaction act which the white house made off of the table, but it is clearing the decks for rest of president biden's turn, and not only taking another debt

ceiling plan off of the table in 2025, but to incentivize congress not to have another shutdown in the next year, and clearing the way in the same time, and on the messaging front for the president to continue to talk about the impacts of the policy, and on focusing on some of the key legislative accomp accomplishments. >> yes, the president is going to talk to the nation tonight at 7:00 and i expect the new job numbers to be part of it. so disaster averted. today, the president is going to sign into law, the bipartisan deal and avoid the disaster that jeremy dimon was just talking about. the nation would have run out of money by monday. and we expect the president to speak about all of this tonight. how did we get to whirlwind?

the house passed it 179-136 and then last night the senate passed it 63-36. that suspends more spending bills past the presidential election. and it is going to also look at some of the military spending and caps non-defense spending, and protects veterans' medical care. it also expanding work

requirements, claws back covid-19 relief funding and cuts irs funding, and restarts student loan payments. what else are you hearing? >> well, it is going to avert the default, and so there are people on the far left and far right who are unhappy with the debt ceiling bill, but it is a coalition that we will see again, because we have spending deadline come up in the end of september, and the lawmakers will have to work together with some of the same members that you saw in the negotiating room that you saw in the last several weeks, but this is what chuck schumer, and joni ernst said about the deal. >> i hope that the maga republicans said that this strategy of trying to hurt

americans unless they get their way is going to be something they don't get their way. >> and this is a good deal for now. >> you can hear them there that the next fight is on the spending process, and they have top line numbers on how much they can spend over the next several years, but you have to get into the nit ti get ti of what is going to be cut, and anything to remain the same, and that is to be determined by the whole appropriations process that we can look forward to this summer, kate. >> look forward to, and a whole lot behind that, and i can see it in your eyes, lauren. oh, wait, lauren, before you go, and i did want to ask you, because we have been hearing for it a long time from many of the democrats, but in the aftermath of this crisis, we have heard

from some top democrats that now is the time to do away with the debt ceiling altogether, and where are things with that? >> yeah, a number of them calling for this including democrat brenden boyle calling for it last year the take care of this calling for it to end, but this is what brenden boyle said recently. >> yes, i needs to be incredibly reformed, because it is dysfunctional process. this is nothing to do other than avoiding disaster. >> and that is what you heard from boyle, and in a divided congress, it is unlikely to reform a process though even though it is messy, it did get

republicans some of the spending things they wanted, and it is hard to believe they would be able to come on a bigger table. and now, joining us is the former adviser to the president on economic policy, we welcome in ben. what do you believe this labor market numbers says about the overall market? >> well, nothing more to say about this other than it is white hot, and no other time to be an american worker, and when you are looking at the labor force participation rate, and noting that there are historic

levels to the people coming back to the workforce, and this economy is not perfect, but when it is coming to the lay bor market, things are pretty good. >> what does this mean for the fed's big decision at the end of the month, so do you see the soft landing in the numbers? >> yeah. i think that it is going to lend some weight to the notion of a soft landing, and you did see softness and broader measures of the labor market and underemployment, and the weakness here, and the markets are expecting pause in june, and then perhaps we will see what happens with the inflation data with the hike later on this july. >> wu but we are saying that

with the debt ceiling done, when the president is going to speak tonight from the white house, it feels like an important message for him, and what should the message be when he is going to talk to the nation? >> well, it is a big moment, and it is a huge win for the american people. there was a real chance that we would see a debt ceiling default. i mean, i have been in the policy business for decades, and i have never been so pessimistic about going through the x-date and how the president and senate to come together is so positive. this is a third major bi-positive message to get through congress, and so this i

track record on this is pretty good today. >> i also want to get your take on the conversation of where i ended the conversation with lauren fox of this sort of renewed talk from democrats after avoiding disaster and it is time to abolish the dedebt ceiling altogether, and do you think that it is nice or unlikely do you think that it should happen now? >> yeah, the debt ceiling is a threat to the u.s. economy. it is unfortunate that we have an obscure law that introduces the uncertainty when congress feels like they want to make it a political football. it is not good for the u.s. markets or the u.s. treasury or the u.s. economy -- >> but it is the only enforcement mechanism to get the u.s. lawmakers for better or worse to get the house in order,

and is that a good thing? at line. there are some bills coming out to have them show some constraint on the big increases of the deficits without introducing the uncertainty every time we come up against the debt ceiling. we want reform, and now ways of check out the deficits. s this is only based on 10% of the discretionary spending and nothing on the budget side. so look, we may have lost some progress on the debts and deficits, but we didn't.

we made tiny progress, and only in a very small way. i am hoping that the congress can put something into order that can replace something that has been in place for years with very little concern. >> that would be very great after something like this. >> i hesitate to say it is the first. they seem to get into this every time there is a debt ceiling. >> i am still suffering from the wounds of the last debacle in 2018. >> and now, we are looking at the leading gop candidates positioning themselves against each other. trump has been criticizing desantis, and the florida governor is striking a balance to introduce himself while standing up to the president

po poking at each other, including his name. >> you don't change your name in the middle of the election. >> it is so petty and juvenile, and that is what the voters don't like what they want. >> that is why he is not in the white house now, because he is looking at things that vote sers don't think matters. >> it was interesting the back and forth on how governor desantis says is his name. what does that tell us about what he is going to say in the next few days. >> it shows us that they are going to mix it up, and desantis is trying to get a focus on the primary as they are going back

and forth. desantis is saying that he can serve for two terms if he is elected and trump had an answer for that yesterday with the back and forth. >> you have to be mission-focused, and you cannot be distracted with any of this. it is going to require a daily grind for not just one term, but i believe two full presidential terms. >> every time he says eight year, i wince, because if it is going to take eight years to turn this around, you don't want him, you don't want him as the president. >> why didn't he do it the first four years. >> why didn't he do it the first four years, and that is the heart that desantis is saying going after trump. look, the um artrump years may e as great as you remember it. he is going after the policy side, and accusing him as soft

on crime, and the amnesty of immigrants, and he is trying to convince the voters that he is going to be a better steward, and very little back and forth of desantis and the other candidates in the race, and now he is in south carolina where nikki haley and tim scott the current senator are running as president as well. >> a number of pictures of the signs of ron desantis who is speaking there in south carolina. and there is an old saying that if the top two go after each other, it opens up the way for a third. kate? >> coming up, 3wi8 cosby is facing a new sexual assault that

happened years ago. and you will remember the texas cheerleader who was shot when she accidentally opened up the wrong door. >> when i was shot, i immediately turned with my blanket, and i didn't know where it was coming, but it was so loud, i knew to turn and immediately do something. so why do we leave s so much untapped potential on the table? this is a next level beded, for a next level you. my circadian rhythm is kicking your circadian rhythm's butt! it's not a competition. i know, but i'm still winning! so, it is a competition. save 50% on the sleep number limited edition smart bed. plus, free home delivery when you add an adjustable base. only at sleep number.

>> and this just into cnn. we have breaking news. the justice department has

closed the investigation into former vice president mike pence and the handling of classified documents. back in january, cnn was the first to report that attorney general found documents marked classified at his home in indiana, and that search was resumed after they found classified documents outside of joe biden and thes why house. we get to the breaking news. katelyn polantz has part of the story, and paula reid with the other part of the story, and tell us what we know about the now investigation being closed? >> well, as of yesterday, the justice department told mike pence and his lawyers, they will not be bringing any criminal charge, and this is the end of the investigation into classified documents that were found in mike pence's home in ind

indiana. this is a very short sentence, and as you know, they were notified of the classification of markings at mike pence's residence it reads the national security division and the department of justice have received information that vice president mike pence is not guilty of criminal charges in classified document probe. we are making sure that he had no white house classified records in his possession. they found about a dozen yin and

this launched the internal investigation of what happened there. and so there were two search ises of pence's home and his office in d.c. they found one document marked "classified." we know that bookended by this investigation yesterday with this letter to the evan, tell me more about what you are picking up on this. >> kate, one of the things that was certainly being raised as a prospect here is the fact that we know that mike pence is going to be announcing his run for president in the coming days and so the question for the justice department is given the standard that the attorney general has

set when he was asked to investigate the documents at mar-a-lago, and obviously donald trump and for president biden, would he have to announce a special counsel for mike pence, and this investigation being closed means they can go forward with the announcement of the former vice president and his presidential run without any concern that the justice department is going to be announcing a special counsel. these review ss are and also, w owns these documents and if any damage was done. and obviously, the context of the former vice president, and ongoing investigation of the foregoing president made this a lot different. kate. >> absolutely, evan. also, bringing in paula reid for

more on this. the idea of the special counsel is something that you have been reporting out on, and why the special counselling to investigate joe biden and, and as caitlyn pence said the lot. >> the trump administration had their group of classified documents is who they are. first the u.s. attorney was appointed "op picks and there were also other investigations into president trump, and mike

pence became intertwined was he declared for the presidency. those two probes, though, they are much more similar to the pence matter, and in terms of and it is not just the issue of the archives, but the dozens of documents, whereas in the trump case, it is hundreds of thousands of documents. and as we first reported on cnn, among the documents, hayes audio recordings. so does the president claim to have at least one ability and

this is after he the left white house. this is key to this with his defense of what happened in the court of public opinion. by pence saying it was a mistake. trump said this didn't happen. we will toss to that side. >> all i know is that everything i did is right. it is a continuation to greatest witch hunt of all time, and it is a hoax. and it has to do -- it has to do more than anything else with trying to interfere with the election. >> is an argument that the former president said that it had to do with the investigation, and part of the reason that the counsel has been overseeing the criminal investigation, and not the first to oversee the investigation into president trump, but

looking into the facts of this week, and the fact that the investigators have the audio recording where he claims to have the document, and that is incredibly important evidence, and witnesses have been asked about it. we have seen dozens of witnesses going before the grand jury, and for the president trump, there is a greater risk, but we are not seeing more charges in current biden's probe. >> thank you, all, so much. so the justice department has closed the investigation into the handling of classified documents of mike pence, and no more criminal charges to be sought. >> joining us is senior analyst elie honig, and there are two buckets with this breaking news. bucket one is the actual mike pence part of it, and the second

part is bucket two which is what it is going to tell us what is going into joe biden and donald trump. the legality of the pence investigation, and what does it tell you that it made so clear that there are no charges. >> it is telling me about knowledge and intent. we know that mike pence possessed classified documents, but just possessing them is not a crime unless the person knew about it, and the person had criminal intent. so we can logically deduce that the doj did not have knowledge of intent and knowledge of mike pence or anyone relating to mib pence. >> i have the word intent in block letters. okay. bucket two here. if intent was so key in determining no charges against mike pence, where does intent fit into the biden and trump investigation. >> start with biden. seems to be somewhat similar to

the pence situation. did a voluntary search and disclosed he had documents, and denied that he knew that he had the documents and pence similarly denied that, and sort of vindicated by doj. and dr. is different, because he knew that he had classified documents, and he has acknowledged that. and the intent, and the new reporting of paula and team shed light on that, because we know that he held these classified documents, and use it to influence some of the political news coverage of him and did he know that he had the documents, for sure. and what was the intent. >> and so there is a special

counsel investigating president biden, and so does that mean that there needs to be a much longer investigation by the doj. nobody wants a special investigation, but they are doing nothing more than anybody else, because they are doing it in the same way of the investigation of mike pence. there are administrative differences here n. biden and the trump case, they have to ultimately put the recommendations together, and send them up the line to marek garden. so there is no reason that the doj needs to take longer. >> did they have to make an announcement here? >> no, but the prosecutors in a case like this will inform the

person, and the public, if there is interest in it, and then put the mind at ease, there is no charges against you. >> counsel, thank you. >> counsel, counsel, thank you very much. and we go to political director david chalian. there is the legal side of this, and that ellie and john were going over, and what does this mean for mike pence? >> well, you would rather launch a presidential campaign without a open department of justice investigation against you. so this is going to clear the decks of any investigation against you. nobody thought that it would open up with the charges of the facts as we understood them, kate, and not only can the pence

team put them on without you, but it is going to set up the kons atop of the field of the republican and as john and elie were discussing that is a different kettle of fish with the trump investigation, because it is more and more serious by the day. there is now a complete contrast on display here, and not that one i anticipate mike pence to draw overtly for the voters, but one that is going to hang over the continued trump investigations that are going to be a constant thread and constant overhang of his campaign. >> yes. good to see you this morning.

war against ukraine has backfired. the russia's war against ukraine has backfired and diminishing influence for years to come. there is no question that russia is significantly worse off today than before the full-scale war against ukraine, economically, militarily and politically. >> this is coming as the attacks against the soil show a plume of smoke in the city of berdansk. sam kiley is in this that area,

and what are you hearing today? >> yes, it is hearing that the rattled vladimir putin, too, and russia is from a government-sponsored event, and that he is from the ill-wishes of russia should not be allowed to destabilize the politics of the country, and referring to the new campaign of the drone attacks around belgorad and against other towns there as well. it may be worrying putin that he

is facing sentrifugal forces as well. and that is clearly the response to the latest wave of the ukrainian responses as well. >> yes, that is changing the calculus of putin. thank you, sam. and now, there is a full scale attack drill coming from south korea. paula hancock got a first-hand look. >> the purpose of the drills is clear, because north korea is looking at what is an illegal armed invasion scenario, and this is a joint counter attack,

and it is more blatant than usual, and north korea is training together to take a perceived threat around 18 kilometers from here, and we have seen a year and a half of unprecedented missiles tests and launches from pyongyang, and this is coordinated drill from the air and on land, and 2,500 soldiers from the u.s., and 600 pieces of military equipment, and the official line is that it is to demonstrate peace through overwhelming stress. >> the message is that we are preparing, and that the training we do is efficient and working. >> and taking away the confidence and the credibility of the alliance to execute that

extended and integrated deterrence together. >> and north korea says that the drills are a large part of why it is conducting so many tests and saying that the failed military launch is in response to what you see would be the reason of the big joint drills is because of the anniversary of the founding of the military, and these are staged separate days and each with 2,000 spectators and some of them regular citizens who volunteered to watch, and for some a fun day to watch, and for others a big show of force. paula hancocks, south korea. >> nice to see that report. >> and now, we will have new information about the collapse of that apartment complex in
