"the evening edit" starts right now. blake: north korea test firing missiles a trade deal with china stalls. u.s. wants to negotiate another trade deal with japan as a threat of auto tariffs loom. that is the backdrop for president trump's trip to japan. he was questioned about the very issues before turning back home to the white house earlier today and that is where we begin tonight with edward lawrence live at the white house. edward? reporter: blake, as you know things are always evolving at the white house. within the last few minutes or so, "washington post" op-ed dropped by former fbi director james comey. in that he attacks the president and defends his actions starting the russia probe. against the backdrop of attorney general william barr investigating the origins of the probe and president donald trump saying that the fbi placed a spy

in his political campaign in 2016, the op-ed says this, quote, i was determined that the work would be done carefully, professionally and discretely. now he went on to say they never gathered any campaign strategy information. we've asked for comment from the white house on this. we don't have one as of yet though. we do have the president talking about about how he is not ready yet for a trade deal with china. president donald trump says that at some point in the future we could have a good trade deal, but just not yet. >> they want to make a deal. i this they probably wished they made the deal they had on the table before they tried to renegotiate it. they would like a make a deal. we're not ready to make a deal. we're taking in tens of billions of dollars of tariffs. that number could go up very substantially very easily. reporter: the president says that supply chains are already starting to move as companies make their decisions. they have a decision to either

pass the through the tariff costs or absorb that costs. i can tell you also out tonight in matter of minutes ago the treasury released foreign exchange report out showing that china's currency has fallen 8% offer the last year against the dollar. that minimized effects of the tariffs. that report stopped short of calling china a currency manipulator. it does say they have added china to a monitoring list, that list also includes number of other countries, germany, ireland, italy, japan, south korea, malaysia, singapore and vietnam. also today the president taking shots at former vice president joe biden of the just listen. >> well, kim jong-un made a statement that joe biden is a low i.q. individual. he probably is based on his record. i think i agree with him on that. reporter: the former vice president now through an aide has responded to this. there is the statement that they released. the president's comments are beneath the dignity of the

office. to be on foreign soil on memorial day and side repeatedly with a murderous dictator against a fellow american and former vice president speaks for itself. his campaign said they waited until today to respond because of memorial day. as you know vice president, former vice president is joe biden is front-runner on the democratic side for their presidential nomination. blake? blake: edward lawrence live at the white house, thank you. there is no end in sight for high-profile feuding between president trump and congressional democrats between speaker of the house nancy pelosi and the president asked about it while at a press conference in japan. hillary vaughn on capitol hill with the latest. reporter: blake, both president and house speaker nancy pelosi took a break from washington over the weekend but while they were away the tension between the speaker of the house and the white house really took center stage here on capitol hill, locking house republicans and democrats in a stalemate, stalling much-needed disaster

funding for states hit hard by hurricanes, wildfires and tornadoes. some house democrats say they have had enough. >> they're going to be disagreements. there will be times that tempers flair, words said make people upset. we can't let that get in the way of working for the american people to try to tackle some of the tough problems we're facing as a country. we have to come together. reporter: adams said people in the party should not be triggered by president trump's tweets but push aside the problems with the president to do their job. some republicans say pelosi is failing to control divisions within her own party. >> speaker pelosi has to balance interests of this radical left that she needs to remain speaker with governing which she needs to remain speaker. she has got a management problem on her hands. i feel a little guilty cheering the pro, the pro-impeachment crowd on a little bit. reporter: pelosi distanced

herself from committing to an impeachment hearing but hasn't ruled out the possibility. meanwhile the president put serious talks things like infrastructure on hold until the house wraps up its own investigations. blake? blake: hillary vaughn live on capitol hill. thank you. depends on what side of the door you might be on as the latest case-shiller report shows mixed reports for the housing market. homeowners on the whole seeing home values increase. that survey showed that housing prices rose in the 20 largest markets on an average at 2.7% year-over-year. however, that was the slowest pace since august 2012. prices in new york city, for example, even dropped .1% from february into march. it is another data point for those who worry about growth moving forward. strong growth is partly what president trump and his team are relying on for re-election in 2020. a "new york times" op-ed over the weekend noting that three reliable models suggest that president trump will win once

again. joining me now, the ceo of bach enterprises, ernie bach, jr. thanks for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. blake: want to start with the housing market, case-shiller, what do you make of it? seems like housing prices are moving in that direction, at least the pace of sales and home prices? >> i think that the prices are high, extremely high, so they're coming down. they're leveling off. i think they're adjusting. i don't think it is too much to worry about. interest rates are low. and, it is okay. blake: shouldn't with interest rates this low shins the housing market be in a much better spot than it is though? >> in some places in the united states it is but in a lot of other places especially new york, prices were so high they could not go up anymore. they had to come down. blake: want to get to these models. they are three models, which are pretty good at predicting who

will win presidential races. one of them especially from a yale university professor by the name of ray fair. that model says growth rates of gdp, inflation, are the two most economic predictors. do you think the economy is in the spot that the president wants it to be in right now with 17 months to go before november 2020? >> i think he has done a good job with the economy. he could probably do a little better job. blake: how? >> if the election was tomorrow, well, i think he would, i think he would like a little bit more support with the people around him, especially the democrats. it's a rock fight every single day. if they could cool that out a little he could do a little more. blake: earney, when you talk about the models what they may or may not show can anyone model this president? how does a model actually capture this president, right? >> it's tough and it's a model,

it's not a poll. we have to be careful with polls. history has shown us the polls are not accurate. blake: as we saw in 2016 in some cases. ernie boch, jr., appreciate it. >> thank you. blake: interesting day on the markets, stocks selling off across the board later in the session. let's get to gerri willis at the new york stock exchange. gerri? reporter: blake, that's right. it is a selloff into the close, the dow down 232 points. nasdaq down 29, leading the dow lower, proctor & gamble, goldman sachs, unitedhealthcare, home depot. they were responsible for half of the dow selloff today. it was a flight to safety as investors focused on worries about trade on a global economic meltdown. they sent 10-year bond yields to the lowest levels in 19 months. however u.s. consumers were pretty optimistic out there. the conference board consumer confidence index coming in

higher than expected at 134.1. good news for consumers out there, but i have to tell you, overall, concern down here about what is going on with the economy and with trade. blake, back to you. blake: not the way you want to see the week start off, gerri willis at new york stock exchange. thanks. fiat chrysler proposing a merger with renault, a deal that could make them the world's third largest automaker should it go through. in sheer size that would make them bigger than general motors. there is a long road ahead before any potential merger. tim higgins, a tech and auto reporter from "the wall street journal" hey, tim. >> hi. blake: what do you make of this proposed merger? it would be a big shift in the auto industry if it goes through? >> absolutely. a sign how uncertain things are in the automotive industry. how tough it is for an automotive executive figuring out hurdles of going to electric vehicles, investing in autonomous vehicles, uncertainty around trade globally.

blake: when you talk about fiat chrysler, that's jeep, dodge, chrysler, ram, some of the biggest, some of the biggest brands here in the u.s. what would that mean for those specific vehicles, for those specific fleets? >> for renault, it would be, better access to the u.s. market. it would offset the fact they don't perform very well in suvs or trucks. for fiat chrysler, it would help them this europe where they have some struggles with fuel efficiency, demands there. the big hole here however is china. jeep has long been a brand should be in china. it has a lot of recognition. fiat chrysler has never done real well building those vehicles. blake: would the potential merger help that or are there so many obstacles with the potential trade deal to come? >> that is one of the holes in the proposed marriage. one thing investors like there would be so much synergy in

development of new vehicles, spending they could save five billion euros a year on those kind of costs. getting more cale and better deals and parts and product development to compete against volkswagens an toyotas of the world. blake: what would this mean for mitsubishi and nissan? >> that is a big question here. challenges there, renault-nissan has been a rocky marriage. you will bring a third party into this thing. it is really unclear at this point. blake: do you think this happens? it's a proposal strictly at this point but, i guess it could go either way, right? that is the theory behind proposals. >> investors like it, a lot of hurdles, let alone italy and france. they have some big concerns about these things. so right now it seems like they're on board. but time will tell, really. blake: what is the timeline for something like this? >> we're, this has been announced now. we'll see in the next few months, pay attention as, we go

forward. blake: where this goes we'll see. tim higgins of "the wall street journal." thank you very much. appreciate it. just coming in right now president trump tweeting quote, i was actually sticking up for "sleepy" joe biden while on foreign soil. kim jong-un called him a quote, low i.q. idiot and many other things whereas i related quote of chairman kim as much softer quote i.q. individual who could possibly be upset with that? to backtrack for a second. the president as we know was in japan for three, four days. at one point he sent out a tweet over the weekend talking about something that kim jong-un in north korea had said about joe biden. when he was asked about it at the press conference, the president at one point said, that he agreed. he said well kim jong-un made a statement that joe biden is a low i.q. individual. he probably is based on his record. i think i agree with him on that. there is old adage, when you go overseas, you leave the domestic

politics behind. that is the criticism that president trump is receiving. that is the criticism that president trump has noticed. thus that tweet that just came from the president moments ago, joe biden has responded in kind today. coming up michael avenatti walking out not one but two courtrooms today. this time he is the one saying not guilty. why he is accused of trying to derail one of the world's retail giant. but first, deadly tornadoes, violent storms and massive flooding. coming up the very latest warning. ♪ this is the couple who wanted to get away who used expedia to book the vacation rental which led to the discovery that sometimes a little down time

blake: large parts of the nation reeling after deadly storms. tornadoes an devastating flooding. at least one dead in ohio, at points, roughly five million people are without power. mike tobin is surveying the tornado damage in dayton, ohio, roughly 700 miles southwest of mike is matt finn in arkansas. we begin with the latest in the battered midwest. mike? reporter: blake, according to the national weather service at least two tornadoes toughed down around the dayton area were so powerful, reached a little of

three to five on the enhanced fujita scale. the line of storms developed rapidly across the midsection of the nation. stands to reason the some of those twisters will make their way into population centers and residential areas like harrison township. you can see what is left behind. this is garage knocked down. a number of trees down. all power lines knocked out. a five million people are without power in this general area. the people in the area heard warnings, went to the basement or center of houses. in this particular neighborhood you have a lot of houses destroyed. no people were killed. only one person was killed in the salinas area. that individual was sleeping in his bed and the storm dropped a car right on him. the fact there is so much destruction, relatively low numbers of casualties, experts are giving credit to the fact there is an advanced system of

warning people. people are paying attention to the warnings. first-responders spent a day going through debris, looking through it to see if there were any survivors trapped inside of the debris. the bad news risk is not going away. risk of thunderstorms continues through wednesday. the risk of flooding is ever present. blake, back to you. blake: mike tobin and devastation in dayton, ohio, thank you. fox news's matt finn is in arkansas with the latest there. matt? reporter: sit officials in for t smith expect 1000 homes flooded when the arkansas river is expected to crest 42 1/2 feet. doubled the flood stage, the highest area the area has ever seen. arkansas river engulfed businesses in area. this is the four-lane road of highway 22 looking more like a lake. the water is inching towards the top of traffic lights in the distance.

we've been watching this raging arkansas river rise and increase in intensity. we talked to neighbors in a residential area not far from here. they say they grabbed things like pictures and work clothes and then evacuated or assisted their neighbors. >> so many people were hit by tornadoes, even cleaned up from that yet, until the flooding hit. really bad for a lot of people. reporter: all of the water in the arkansas river is headed south. the natural guard tells us that yellow count is concerned. sandbagging is happening there. mayor of north little rock is declaring an emergency. this water is headed toward the capital of little rock. unfortunately this area is battered by storms, historic flooding, there could be several more inches of rain on the way here. blake? blake: matt finn in fort smith, arkansas. thanks. much of central u.s. under tornado watches and warnings through wednesday. this might not be over anytime

soon. adam klotz at the fox weather center with the very latest. what have you got there? >> blake, we're seeing another round fire up. it will run into the early morning hours. all those middle of the country, all yellow boxes and redboxes. thunderstorm watches an tornado watches apwarnings. looking at pennsylvania, running into new jersey. all the pink boxes. those are tornado warned storms. we'll fire those up. running through the midwest of the those continue through the plain states. this is exact same pattern we see every single day for the last week. it is happening this evening back across missouri down through portions of texas, tornado watches, warnings. there are more warnings through the overnight hours. unfortunately the setup for tomorrow is very much the same. this is wednesday's severe threat. looking similar area running across the midwest, towards the mid-atlantic, another area we'll see big thunderstorms, maybe

more tornadoes. we're stuck in the pattern and system keeps dropping tornadoes. fortunately dropping he have had rain. that is big of a concern as anything. this is the estimated radar precipitation, for the lack week or so. anywhere from five to 10 inches across the large area of the plains. nowhere to go, why we're seeing so much flooding across area refers. this is the area we're paying attention to now. flood watches and warnings from the plains. running into the upper midwest. all that is funneling into tributaries. we're seeing record levels of flooding. unfortunately that continues as more rain is on the way. blake. we've got tonight, tomorrow, looks like a couple more days of really rough weather. blake: adam, thursday a possibility? >> coming down a little bit. this will linger on for a while. blake: adam klotz, tonight in the severe weather center. thank you. while the communities will clean up in the days and weeks ahead. others are still waiting on washington to pass a disaster relief pack on for different

devastation. this includes relief from hurricanes that hit hard last summer. those historic california wildfires that you probably remember. fox news's chad pergram is live on capitol hill tonight. chad, this is stalled again. the question is, why? >> well they are 0-2 for house of representatives, trying to pass this bill. they try to pass bills in the house sometimes by unanimous consent. that means everybody agrees if there is one objection, the bill is dead in the water. last week it was chip roy, a republican congressman from texas. today it was thomas massey from kentucky, republican lodging the objection. now the senate passed this bill late last week 85-8 on thursday but the house of representatives had already fled washington for the memorial day recess. i asked house majority leader steny hoyer today why he didn't keep the house around a little later on thursday or maybe even friday just to finish this bill. listen to what he had to say? >> the answer to that question, there was no assurance that the senate was going to get work

out. we had no assurance that they were going to be able to pass it. >> the issue here this is $19 billion. this is not a post office renaming. they didn't ask for unanimous consent to rename a post office. they asked for unanimous consent which means no vote, no debate. let's just deem it passed. to spend $19 billion which is not in the budget. that is, if it is precedented, that is the definition of the swamp. reporter: there was swath of tornadoes moved through ohio earlier today. i asked thomas massi what would happen if the tornadoes were 100 miles to the south, district he represents in northern kentucky, would he vote yes or no, and he dodged my question. i would demand a recorded vote. there is brief session scheduled in the house of representatives thursday. they will try again by unanimous consent according to steny hoyer, they have to wait

until next thursday to have vote via role call. blake? blake: and people in those states wait. prosecutors say he did it. the charge? extortion. the victim? nike. the attorney? one michael avenatti while he was pleading not guilty for alleged crimes committed against stormy daniels. are you sick of work. turns out you might be burned out. now the world health organization says that is a legitimate diagnosis. what this could mean for those who want to say, i'm out. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost.

embezzlement and extortion. one case involving the porn star stormy daniels and the other involving nike. jacqui heinrich with the story and very latest. what a story you have on your hands. reporter: no kidding blake. it ended with a fiery press conference where michael avenatti appeared to lay the blame on his troubles for president trump. in court he was calm smiling, pleading he is 100% not guilty on charges that he tried to shake down nike for up to $20 million. ahead of information for nike's quarterly earnings call and ahead of the in. caa basketball tournament. he told the company's lawyers he wasn't messing around. if he didn't pay up he would take $10 billion off nike's market cap. in his first appearance he pleaded not guilty to wire fraud, identity theft charges to former client stormy daniels. prosecutors say they took the money supposed to go to daniels

for her book deal, spent it and hounded the publisher for paying back what he had taken. he had the payment sent to his account, even faking his signature and spending it on lavish items like ferrari payments hotels, restaurants, even payroll checks to his employees at coffee company and law firms. he is charged with taking $300,000 from her and in both case he maintains he is innocent. >> i intend on fighting these charges. i look forward to a jury verdict in each of these cases. i am confident that when a jury of my peers passes judgment on my conduct. that justice will be done and i will be fully exonerated. thank you. reporter: if avenatti is an could vicked of all the charges stemming from two cases here in the southern district of new york he could go to jail for 69 years.

he is facing charges out of california for allegedly stealing from other clients including a paraplegic man including tax fraud, making possible combined total sentence of 404 years in prison. blake? blake: 335 in california. 69 there in new york. he is in a world of trouble. jacqui heinrich, live for us in new york city. thank you. joining me now criminal defense attorney who joins us live in studio. avenatti, he is in some trouble. not saying he did it. he is in trouble. >> he is in a world of hurt, absolutely. its bad for michael. blake: let's focus on the nike part of it. >> sure. blake: there were public tweets on this the bottom line with the nike case, there was quarterly call. companies do that sort of thing, but michael avenatti went to nike i have dirt on you, you need to remedy this or else i go forward on eve of quarterly call. that is no, no according to prosecutors. >> what michael did, he went to

the nike lawyers, listen, i need this money and you better pay it. he used the quarterly call as a threat he was going to announce what wrongdoing nike, which for the purposes of this conversation isn't important, but probably nike has some liability there. had this been approached in normal course, pinkies out, draw up a complaint, send a copy of the complaint, don't file it, create a backbone what your complaint is in normal process that would be perfectly legal. blake: you are saying this was a shakedown of a company. >> absolutely. blake: because of timing of this? give me my money now, i need it or i'm going forward with a call? >> two things, michael avenatti is facing absolute financial oblivion. he is circling drain of disaster. all his businesses, coffee empire, his racing business, his law firm, as 10 terrible schuss lifestyle. he is dying desperate for money. he approaches nike without any

subtlety or genteel. i need the money. pay me now. he is using the fact he has a soapbox of threatening nike to give out this money. blake: does this end with a plea probably? there is a whole lot of cases out there, whole lot of years, whole lot of counts, different parties? do you think he eventually pleas to something or will he go down fighting? for better or worse, whatever the result may be? >> short answer the smart move is for him, a, shut up. b, let his lawyers do talking, let them negotiate something, quiet down. is that something michael avenatti can do, i don't know. what he does, we're watching a a car crash. we all can't look away. blake: some would say it is like that for a while. gary, thanks for joining us. >> appreciate it. blake: coming up d.c. political warfare, president trump versus joe biden, separately james comey versus the president. a lot of news here in the last 30 minutes or so. there has been apop-ed from james comey, a tweet from

playing politics in their investigations. blake: there is some other news that the president is responding to comments he made regarding joe biden. this started a few days ago which the president tweeted the following as he was headed to japan. the president said on twitter, north korea fired off small weapons which disturbed some people and others but not me. chairman kim will keep his promise to me and smiled when he called swamp man joe biden a low i.q. individual and worse. perhaps that is sending me a signal, the president asked. he was asked in press conference about the tweet and this was his response. watch. >> well, kim jong-un made a statement that joe biden is a low i.q. individual. he probably is, based on his record. i think i agree with him on that. blake: the president says there he agrees with kim jong-un on that. he has received a lot of criticism. president has just responded

with the following tweet saying quote, i was actually sticking up for "sleepy" joe biden while on foreign soil. kim jong-un called him a low i.q. idiot and many other things. where i related the quote of chairman kim as much softer, low i.q. individual who could possibly be upset with that? the rule here, congressman, generally speaking when you go overseas you leave domestic politics behind. in your estimation was the president wrong to make that extra step? >> well look, politics is a full contact sport. if joe biden has a problem with kim jong-un has a problem with him as candidate, i can't imagine what type of problems he has as president. blake: you don't take issue with the president saying i agree with a murderous dictator and not sticking up for former u.s. vice president while on foreign soil? >> look the president is trying to protect america. the president is trying to insure that north korea isn't developing nuclear weapons. i think that all the american people are very much in support of making sure that north korea doesn't develop nuclear weapons.

so i think that is the important thing to get here. blake: you're in a state of florida, that is a very important state, my home state. you know that could potentially tip 2020. do you think the president is gearing up to face joe biden there, all across the country? >> yeah. the president was here in panama city in the panhandle not too long ago. i think you will see him down here a lot. florida will be a great state for him. at least some polling i have seen he is ahead or doing better than that in the state of florida. i think the state of florida will swing is -- his way in 2020. blake: congressman steube, thanks for last minute changes handling tough questions for us. >> thank you. >> surge of illegal immigrants at the border, the government is transporting border crossers to other u.s. cities. we'll tell you where, why they're doing this as well. that is coming up after the break. ♪

hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief... what?! i'm here to steal your car because, well, that's my job. what? what?? what?! (laughing) what?? what?! what?!

blake: first for customs and border protect you shoul protecs illegal border crossers to other cities for processing. they are required to process migrants within 72 hours, but key border points right now cannot handle the surge. hector garza is joining me now. i'm told is happening. rio grande valley facility has

too many there are planes every day from the valley to del rio portion of texas, maybe two to southern california. then about 135 seats on that plane, do some math. about a thousand own 1200 immigrants crossing border who are sent on the planes to there are facilities. what your take on that? >> first of all the border is out of control, there is no end in sight, some people are send to places make san diego, california, here to san antonio, texas this crisis is affecting many parts of federal government, for example we have to detail tsa employees to help at border, and detail custom officers away from ports of entry, and having them assist with border patrol duties. that is affecting our airports as well. blake: i'm glad you bring that

up. sorry to jump in there was a story out that it could be a ter terrible travel summer at airports because the tsa employees will not be at airports but at the southern borders. >> they are already there, our trade will be affected, my hometown, that business, the customs officers will not be ale pro process cargo, we have a mess on the border, congress is not acting to fix the problem. blake: president had threatened in the past to take some illegal immigrants and move them to so-called sanctuary cities, i am told is not that, not close. but do you worry maybe there could be a slippery slope of once you put the immigrants on planes then buses it may be 7

communities could be -- certain communities could be targeted. >> the border is overwhelmed, border communities are overwhelmed, we're seeing now these people are being sent to the cities, they are also going to feel the impact. this is very nice to be behind the screen in your state without affected but 1 you see the people take up your resources and medical services and education services it will hurt you and your family, we hope we'll see a change, but we'll have this problem for some time, it is a dig -- big deal, people need to make up and make sure congress fixing these laws. we're continuing to encourage illegal immigration, we must not reward that. blake: hectar hectare garza thay so much.
