"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ let's get right to president trump helping farmers at the white house today with a multibillion dollars relief package. hillary vaughn is in d.c. with the latest. hillary? >> hey, liz, well, president trump following through on his promise to protect farmers approving 16 billion dollars in trade mitigation programs to help shield them from china's retaliatory tariffs. >> it all comes from china. we'll be taking in over a period of time hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, and our farmers will be greatly helped. we want to get them back to the
6:03 pm
point where they would have had if they had a good year. >> the aid package will be broken down into three categories, 14 1/2 billion paid out in direct payments to proproducers, 1.4 billion to buy surplus commodities affected by trade retaliation. 100 million will go to developing new export markets. but there is some bipartisan concern that this bailout is just a temporary fix. >> i don't mind helping farmers in the short-term, but we -- you know, that's not a sustainable alternative to free trade. >> democratic congresswoman that sits on the house agricultural committee says she appreciates there is some relief for farmers but says in a statement quote when i talk with farmers in illinois, they don't want a check from the government. they want markets to sell their goods. our farmers markets should have never been decimated in the first place. the newly negotiated usmca is a key part. the president says it will open for agricultural products particularly for dairy poultry
6:04 pm
and eggs. liz? elizabeth: thank you, hillary. let's get to iowa farm bureau president and corn farmer, craig hill. great to have you on, sir. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: you were at the white house meeting today with the president. can you tell us what happened? >> well the president explained his commitment to helping to level the playing field for u.s. agriculture, and of course, you know, as you know we have a skirmish with a number of countries trying to negotiate a better trade deal for american farmers. as you also know, american farmers, well, they're unmatched in their energy and their enthusiasm to produce. we're the envy of the world in terms of production. we must access markets. we've got comparative advantage. we've got the ability to outproduce anyone in the world. we just need to be able to reach these markets fairly. elizabeth: you know, craig, what's interesting, here's what critics are saying that president trump in doing farm relief for farmers, that he's just trying to help his voter base in the fight with china. but we're seeing reports, and
6:05 pm
we're watching the photos coming in of biblical deluge people there saying with flooding in the farm belt that literally looks like an ocean in some parts of the farm belt. this is the wettest year on records since recordkeeping began; right? >> right. there's a dark cloud of course all of agriculture both literally and figuratively. the dark cloud we can't reach our markets don't have access farm income levels cut in half from a few years ago and then we're challenged with the weather. every year we wrestle with mother nature, but this year it has been not equal with any other year we have experienced with flooding rainfall and the prediction for more rain coming forward. elizabeth: you have had six straight years of bumper crops so you have swollen inventory, deere and other farm related companies could take hits in their stock prices. craig, what do you say to the critics of president trump here >> well, you need to understand that farmers are committed as
6:06 pm
well to a market oriented policy, one that we can reach the market, one that we can, you know, not have subsidies or not have program payments, but you've got to appreciate right now the circumstance we find ourselves in. we need a bridge, particularly for our young farmers that don't have the equity to withstand this kind of period, this slump in the market. so this is helpful. this is a bridge. and as farmers always do, we spend about everything we take in. so any dollars that come to us will help our loans, in payment, but also help the economy because we'll purchase supplies. we'll purchase equipment. we always do because we're intent on production. elizabeth: craig hill, president of the iowa farm bureau. thank you for joining us tonight, sir. appreciate it. >> thank you. elizabeth: let's go to washington. let's turn to d.c. rhetoric going off the rails today. first it was speaker pelosi this morning questioning president trump's fitness, saying he needs an intervention.
6:07 pm
watch. >> i pray for the president of the united states. maybe he wants to take a leave of absence, i don't know. i wish that his family or his administration or his staff would have an intervention for the better of the country. elizabeth: and then nancy pelosi said that president trump is quote villainous. we have more from capitol hill >> the personal exchanges continued with the president this afternoon. the president still upset about the comment yesterday when house speaker pelosi said that he was out of line. listen. >> -- read it perfectly just the way she said it. very sort of a nasty type statement. crazy nancy, i tell you what, i have been watching her, and i have been watching her for a long period of time. she's not the same person. she's lost it. >> house speaker pelosi seems to have figured out a way to get under president trump's skin. she says they are not trying to push impeachment yet. she's trying to tamp that down in some quarters, although there was ratcheted up talk in certain
6:08 pm
quarters of the house democratic caucus. keep in mind right now that congress has gone home for the memorial day break. there is no effort on the house floor yet until early june to move the contempt citation against william barr. jim clyburn the democratic whip indicates they will probably do that on june 4th. but i spoke with a senior house democratic source who indicated that the speaker has not made up their mind on that yet. this back and forth between the president and house speaker nancy pelosi, that's pretty bad. i asked kevin mccarthy, the house minority leader on two occasions today whether he thought the president's conduct in the meeting on wednesday was presidential, whether he should have shown himself that way and mccarthy both times dodged the question. chuck shumer in the past 90 minutes or so has indicated that he thinks they have to figure out a way to get back on track, deal with infrastructure. keep in mind, they have to raise the ceiling this sum -- debt ceiling this summer also figure out a way to fund the
6:09 pm
government. elizabeth: it's sort of like brace yourselves for another 18 months of this poisonous rhetoric. you know, the democrats, the law making going on, they're running at half the rate of the prior congress year to date, just 17 laws enacted from this congress; right, versus about 35 in the prior. >> right. well they just moved this disaster bill today bipartisan disaster bill. that's a piece of legislation that was bipartisan 85-8. they might do it in the house of representatives tomorrow. but even though we had this bad moment, the fact that they were able to pry that piece of legislation on disaster aid loose that might be a glimmer of hope even though it was pretty dark earlier this week. some people say that just because they passed a lot of bills in congress, pass a lot of laws, sometimes that's not always the best metric by which to judge the productivity of a congress. elizabeth: 18 laws then. i stand corrected. >> it hasn't been signed yet. [laughter] elizabeth: great to have you on, chad. bring you back on soon. >> any time.
6:10 pm
elizabeth: now to the markets with what happened to the triple digits to the down side. gerri willis is at the big board with more. >> it was trade tensions really driving the markets lower today. the dow finishing off 286 points lower m. the s&p down 34. the nasdaq had worst performance down 122 points or 1.6%. amazon google netflix all lower. i want to mention apple. a study showing that iphone forecasts are probably going to bring those lower. why? because of what they termed possibly a nationalistic movement against apple by china which could impact sales. downward pressure there. they are starting to call it a tech cold war. meanwhile energy stocks down as well, all 29 points in the s&p 500 energy sector finishing down. as we start to think that possibly this war between china and the u.s. will result in lower global growth and lower demand for commodities, i want to mention one positive thing here. the dow did rally at the end of
6:11 pm
the day, coming up about 160 points, good news, possibly lifting the market tomorrow. back to you. elizabeth: thank you, gerri. coming up iran's war rhetoric ratcheting up, iran's president saying it quote won't surrender even if it's bombed. there's a lot of back and forth on the potential to increase troops to the middle east. breaking news, two big mideast oil countries now talking to iraq to use its oil pipeline if iran shuts down the oil checkpoint known as the strait of hormuz. we're on that story. plus devastation in jefferson city, missouri, after an exceedingly rare monster tornado ripped through the state's capital packing maximum speeds of 160 miles-per-hour. it felt like an earthquake. that's what local residents are saying. we're going to bring you to the ground with the latest on the destruction there. that's coming up next. ♪ limu emu & doug

6:18 pm
that is is a near normal year. it's been about seven months since one of the most intense hurricanes on record decimated parts of florida's panhandle, hurricane michael. its catastrophic winds and storm surge wiped away much of mexico beach, air force base and panama city. a month ago noaa reclassified that storm from a category 4 to category 5 with wind speeds greater than 157 miles-an-hour. at today's press conference in front of one of the hurricane hunter airplanes, noaa explained that a near normal forecast is not to be taken lightly. >> 9 to 15 nasmed storms is a lot -- named storms is a lot. 4 to 8 hurricanes is a lot. 2 to 4 major hurricanes is a lot. so the key message is we're expecting a near normal season, but regardless, that's a lot of activity. you need to start getting prepared for the hurricane season now. >> september's hurricane florence weakened and stalled out as it approached the carolina's coastline, but that led to record rainfall and
6:19 pm

6:26 pm
dangerous player, very bad player. they're a nation of terror, and we won't put up with it. elizabeth: president trump sounding off and escalating tensions with iran as the pentagon is weighing possible troop deployments to the middle east. fox news' lucas tomlinson has more. >> reporter: president trump also said he didn't think he'd need to deploy more troops to deter iran but will if needed. his acting defense secretary pushed back on reports that up to 10,000 troops were being considered. >> there is no 10,000, and there's no 5,000, and that's not, you know, accurate. what we're focused on right now is do we have the right force protection in the middle east. and as soon as there's a change, i promise i'll give you an update. but those numbers are not correct. >> reporter: shanahan later said more u.s. troops could be sent to middle east before departing for the white house to brief the president. a lot will depend on what the
6:27 pm
president decides in the meeting. officials say any increase could ine collude a cruise missile submarine like uss florida seen here in march where the u.s. navy stores bombs and missiles. firing over 150 tomahawk cruise missiles, she fired over 90 in libya in 2011. submarines could move into the persian gulf undetected while submerged. there are defensive weapons that would require more troops to operate. with b-52 bombers and dozens of fighter jets in the region, more search and rescue forces could also be called upon to help. some lawmakers are concerned that the u.s. is trying to provoke iran into a military conflict, liz. elizabeth: thank you, lucas tomlinson, at the pentagon. joining me with reaction is retired u.s. army colonel daniel davis.
6:28 pm
did you hear about the firepower that the u.s. is bringing to the middle east? what's your reaction? >> right. yeah, i'll tell you, i i was pleased to hear president trump say he's not intending on sending any troops over there right now, because troops not necessary for our security. there is actually no threat right now that iran poses to american national security that would require additional firepower, because we have so much that's even normally in the region right now. and so what we need to do is avoid inflaming the situation where we inadvertently push iran into a corner where it has to, for its own defensive purposes, because we don't need to, you know, provoke them at all because we have all the cards when it comes to military right now. elizabeth: yeah. and it's also iran's activity, though, with its proxies going after u.s. troops, also allies in the region. but here's a new wrinkle, colonel, and i'd like you to react to this breaking news that kuwait and qatar is now talking to iraq about using iraq's oil pipeline in case iran moves to
6:29 pm
close the strait of hormuz. iran needs that strait, but that's a big move here. that shows you if kuwait and qatar are doing backup contingency manning, or something's going on. >> well, and it also underscores an even bigger point that iran is balanced by regional powers. and there's no reason we need to risk u.s. troops and u.s. military power, because they don't pose -- elizabeth: understand that, but if -- understand. but if kuwait and qatar are making these arrangements, then something is up. >> well, i think that's probably just normal, you know, contingency planning. it would be wrong if they didn't do that, it makes sense. but the bigger point is that iran is balanced by those powers in the region, and we don't need to enflame it with military power. elizabeth: iran has parliamentary elections next year. there's a push by the more hard-line conservatives in iran. that could ratchet up a clash not just with the u.s., but other mares in the region.
6:30 pm
players in the region. >> right. and yet again that shows what we don't want to do is get into a situation where it enflames, you know, all over the place. because america is not helped by that. i'm actually advocated that we need to remove our troops from syria as well as president trump has said that he wants to, because all they do is pose a threat that we could be attacked, but it doesn't defend us from anything over there. we need to draw down our military power in the middle east and not ratcheting that up. elizabeth: i hear what you're saying. i mean, the administration and officials believed an attack, it seems, on u.s. and ally troops is imminent. iran has, in prior years, directed highly effective campaigns targeting troops in the middle east. >> well, what you hear with that report is that those actions are what iran would do if we attacked them. if we launched an attack, then their response would be asimple metric things -- asymmetric things. there's no intelligence that says they would launch an
6:31 pm
unprovoked attack because they know we would respond, and they would lose in that situation. i really don't think there's much risk of that. elizabeth: colonel daniel davis, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it, sir. >> thank you. elizabeth: coming up, he grew up in the suburbs of san francisco. the american taliban was just freed from federal lock-up after serving 17 years for treason. a lot of outrage over this, people really angry that he's let out. that story coming up. later in the show, house speaker nancy employees trying to say that the democrats are not pursuing impeach. , but critics are saying, not so fast, you're trying toism peach trump in the minds of american voters. the voters are not playing along. we're going to show you why. that story coming up. ♪ ♪

political opportunity for democrats, or they think it is anyway. i mean, what they want to do is drag donald trump through all of this for the next 18 months and hope that it helps them in the election. i don't think they can -- they know they cannot afford to do impeachment right now. that would be, i think, a bridge too far. but if they can the just sort of, you know, make it difficult for him to govern, basically, they think that's going to be a winning strategy for november 2020. elizabeth: you know, the increasingly broken politics in washington, i mean, president trump is getting things done. into 2020 with getting things done, and i think they've only passed something like 17 laws so far. it's half the rate of the prior congress. >> well, let's remember that the democrats really hate donald trump. i mean, they really hate him. so they're willing to do just about anything. the question is what is going to play with the hecht rate. and i -- electorate. and i think that if they go too far here, it is going to cost

george h.w. bush. here's the thing, they know how to play politics. they think they do, but it's an old game that's not working anymore. >> well, for example, on the infrastructure question, people, you know, presumably all americans want the roads to be improved and the bridges to be rebuilt and so forth. but if president trump allows the democrats to make it seem like he's the one who got in the way of that happening, that will play, that will play against him. elizabeth: what if somebody else was house speaker like representative seth moulton or tim ryan? fathom that world, without nancy pelosi as house speaker. what would it look like? >> i think she is still this a difficult the position. she has these very extreme-left caucus that she has to control, and they're sort of sitting over there saying they're going to rebel and throw her out and all that. so she's trying to satisfy both sides of that equation, and that's not easy. i think she's not doing a bad job, but she's in a difficult

you need decision tech. and i recently had hi, ia heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take.
