said, yes, i'm trying to find my house and we saw him identify things in the river. he found his mountain bike and said the only thing i haven't found is my roof. we heard the governor describe this as search and rescue mission and the death toll risen to 14 and some of this state's most vulnerable populations have been affected and nursing homes affected and 17 shelters established throughout the state, some by the red sox acro help displaced residents and still 500 people crapped inside a- that are trapped inside a mall. and these floodwaters proved too much and the national guard is coming in trying to establish some sort of temporary bridge to get the people out and doesn't look like they will be able to reach them until tomorrow. >> can you give us a sense for the scale in the last half hour

talking about a number of counties, a large number in the state. >> reporter: there are 44 counties currently under a state of emergency. virginia is a pretty rural area and a lot of people live and work off the land. my own grandparents live an hour up the road and both from here. we have farms. what people here do. lots of mining country. one of the women trapped inside of her car, i spoke to her and said, you saw your car lights just going beneath the water and you're standing here in your so socks, were you scared? she said, yeah, i was scared but knew west virginia would come together because that's something west virginians do. that's something we heard the governor say, saying west virginia comes together not only to help their family but friends and neighbor. even though this is happening most severely in this county and 44 counties already declared a state of emergency, this is something not only affecting this state but also virginia where hundreds of thousands of homes remain without power.

>> morgan radford on the scene in west virginia, thank you so much. let's go now to sergeant brian humphries, public information officer for the sheriff's department in west virginia. thank you for being with us at a difficult time. >> reporter: yes miami. >> tell us what's happening in your county. we understand there are rescue operati operation operations, is that happening where you are? >> there are. we have better than 50 emergency rescue calls for 911 and they're not able to handle those all at one time and trying to get to the emergency circumstances first and a lot of water emergency calls where people are stranded and can't get to their homes and maybe have appointm t appointments or out of food and water and we're trying to get food and water to them and medical emergencies and that number is high for us now. >> did you say more than 60

emergency calls are coming in all at the same time? >> that was the number we had this morning at around 9:00 a.m., we had an exact number of 64 and 61 non-emergency calls. i'm not sure how many teams are am in to get to them and other teams that may not be properly equipped to handle swift water rescues or bridge that gap and get a boat out to them and get them out. that mall that was referenced, they've begun walking people out. they found a dry path to walk them out. estimated 500 people trapped there on an island surrounded by water overnight. they're making their way now. >> that's a neighboring county? >> that is kanawha county. kanawa county. >> we show homes completely flooded and homes and businesses under many feet of water.

what do you see out your window and what kind of calls are you getting? where are people trapped? >> i just drove through the kanawa capital, the every is not too far from town. and we have spoken with the army corps of engineers and national weather service and they're looking how to control the waters and stored behind dams and others to try and mitigate that to keep it from overflowing its banks. a lot of tributaries not so luc lucky, we don't have dams to control those. it's absolutely flooded and come into people's houses and d displa displacing a lot of folks. we've also seen videos and heard from co-workers about houses removed from their foundation by the water and watching the foundation go away. >> we've been watching video of a house not only washed off its foundation but on fire. i'm not sure exactly where that was or whether you've heard

about that, is there a situation where there are gas lines that are causing fires? >> that's correct. i'm not certain about the instance you're looking at. we had more than one of those occasions unfortunately, not just one place in west virginia where that's happened, i've heard of several stories now of homes catching fires from a presum presumed propane gas tank or heating source and it burns while surrounded by water and water puts out the fire or taken off its foundation and saw one go into bridge. >> the video we're looking at, there's a sign there that says howard's creek, if that lets you know where that is. >> i'm not familiar with that. >> this is so pervasive in your state now. we just heard the governor talking about the scope of the issue going on. give me your biggest concerns at this hour. loss of life, property damage, getting people to higher ground, what is it?

>> we're still mostly concerned with loss of life. always an issue. west virginia the topography difficult to work in. ordinarily you travel on the waterway to get some place and all the homes are built on the waterway and go a tributary to tributary to get where you're going and don't have many other ways to get out of places other than taking your time and for forging a path to a mountain or ridge and eventually, you will meet another valley. right now all those valleys are filled with water and makes getting to places difficult and rescuing people difficult and getting out on our own very hard and getting to where you can access them is dufifficult for first responders. the volume of the calls is overwhe overwhelming. i don't want to paint too bleak a picture, something we hope and believe we have a good handle on the scope of the problem at this point. we understand how many people are still stranded. unfortunately, we're forced to triage those and say we take this most important now and take

the next most important as soon as we get done. >> sergeant brian humphries, we will let you get back to work and appreciate you joining us by phone in kanawa county in west virginia. please get back with us if there are other things we should know about. we are now in the final hour of a very dark day on wall street. not whether or not stocks will be down at the bell at the cl e closing hour, how much they will be down. right now the big board, dow is down more than 570 points, inside, about 180, s&p down 60 points. those numbers, just the first few ticks on an economic seismograph thanks to a political earthquake across the atlantic, uk voters making a controversial decision, they are leaving the european union, the first country ever to do that. now what? for starters, british prime minister david cameron says he's resigning and the leader of the uk independence party is

celebratin celebrating? let june 23rd go down in history as our independence day! >> and american leaders are reacting either with approval or what we might call respectful d discontent. here's the president a short time ago. >> thank you so much. i do think yesterday's vote speaks to the ongoing changes and challenges raised by globalization. but while the uk's relationship with the eu will change, one thing that will not change is the special relationship that exists between our two nations. that will endure. >> donald trump's take on the vote a little different. he praised the vote as historic saying it represents voters who got tired of seeing quote stupid decisi decisions. does the british vote foreshadow anything for the u.s. election? we have everything from politics to economics starting from london and later live from the floor of the new york stock exchange. let's start at the uk, just

after 8:00 p.m. keir simmons is outside one of the most iconic buildings, parliament, where workers have a tough road ahead. how long is the process going to take to get out of the european union? >> reporter: depends who you ask, kate. it could be a very long time. we are at the beginning. you want to think of this like a divorce, we're at the stage one partner found the strength to say to the other, i can't live with you anymore. any who's been through that difficult process will know there's a long negotiations, what do you do about the kids and the house and the money? that's what brits are facing how you unwind all kinds of deals and do new deals and just like a divorce, there will be plenty of acrimony and plenty in europe saying britain should be punished if for no other reason

to hold the european union together, others saying we need calm heads now. the problem -- just one of the problems, britain, as you mentioned, has a prime minister who will only be around three more months. the leader of britain is something of a lame duck. it will be some time before another leader is in place who can even begin to negotiate. >> one of the other problems we noticed over here, you woke up to this news today. we woke up to it, too. you've been talking to people who seem to regret their decision yesterday, basically having buyer's remorse. >> reporter: kate, what we saw here was a ground swell of popular opinion, a bunch of people who basically felt kept locked out of the system who felt like, and london voted 2-1 to be in the european union felt like london was a different place from the rest of the country who think they aren't part of the system. we heard from the president talking about globalization leaving people out. those are the kind of people,

many of them, said we're fed up with this, we don't want decisions made by politicians and bureaucrats who don't seem to have anything to do with us. you're right. google is saying it's now seeing people googling how does the european i don't knunion work a are people saying if i knew what would happen yesterday i wouldn't have voted this way and there are others celebrating s y saying this is independence for britain, an opportunity for britain to forge its own path. >> keir simmons in london, thanks for a look at the effect this is having on global markets. let's welcome in cnbc mary thompson. those numbers do not look good. >> no. the dow jones industrial average was down 500 points and we saw little bit of recovery. as we approach or are in the final hour of trading, the dow is very close to its session w lows today. there could be even more volatility as we head into the close because there's an important rebalancing of indices

the end of trading today. that will drive up volume, investors waiting to see whether it accelerates the move to the down side we are seeing today. one of the reasons we're seeing such a big pullback is coming into the votes. the markets were betting the uk would stay. markets don't like surprises and that's what they got this morning and we saw the sell-off as a result. >> talk about the fears that we all have. we all have investments and college education funds and all these things, retirement, 401 ) 401(k)s in the market. there's fear maybe we're headed back to the bad time office a few years ago. what do economists say? >> i think a number of people expect there will be some impact on this vote, specifically the uk. the question is how does that -- is there any ripple effect from that into the global economy? min merrill lynch was out that they expect to see it have an effect of 2% but over a two year

basically. but until we see what happens with the uk and what type of restrictions are put up and how it impacts the eu and global economy as well. it is not expected to be an event that has no effect, the question is how big negative effect it ends up having. >> mary thompson as we're at negative 605. >> that would be the lows of the session. >> we'll keep an eye on it. thanks so much. the political response to this news pouring in. donald trump, hillary clinton both weighing in on britain's vote to leave the eu. their views, polar opposite. proud of you, son. ge! a manufacturer. well that's why i dug this out for you. it's your grandpappy's hammer and he would have wanted you to have it. it meant a lot to him... yes, ge makes powerful machines. but i'll be writing the code

that will allow those machines to share information with each other. i'll be changing the way the world works.

i think people see a big parallel. a lot of people talking about that. not only the united states but other countries. people want to take their country back and want to have independence, in a sense. >> donald trump, as we're following fast moving political reaction and also economic reacti reaction. look at that ticker in the bottom of your screen there, dow now down 633 points as we wait for the bell next hour, all this coming after the vote to leave the european union. we heard from donald trump and hillary clinton saying she respected the uk's choice and this time of uncertainty only underscores the need for calm steady experienced leadership in the white house to protect americans' pocketbooks and livelihoods to support our friends and allies and stand up to our adversaries and interests

and pull together and solve our problems as a country, not tear each other down. with us, susan ox who held treasury positions and now at a new think tank and "politico"'s chief uk political correspondent, nice to see both of you. thanks for being with us. susan, you served two presidents at the treasury. if you were there today watching this news and trying to figure out what to do, what are your top concerns? >> the number one concern is the trading in the markets orderly and the main reaction not panic. a lot of concern but not panic. they're actually pretty orderly markets. >> it's orderly but down 635 at the moment. >> it's down a lot but considering the magnitude of the seismic shift we just experienced yesterday and today it's not that bad. i know it feels back bad to

viewers but not that bad and not hearing liquidity problems? the bank of england got out and said we're here very early to make sure this does not become a panic and it has been going very well. >> let me ask you about the connection with donald trump and those saying the result a new milestone in the global war on the elites. is that what this all comes down to? >> it's a pretty accurate description. you look at the uk, who voted in and who voted out, london overwhelmingly voted to stay in the europe union. wealthy parts, the entirety of scotland voted to stay. it was england that took the country out of the uk. it was angry england outside of london, those areas that aren't doing very well from membership

of the european union, who feel put upon, like they are paying the price and turned around and said, nope, we're off. >> susan, is anybody celebrating today other than those in great britain, who wanted an exit worldwide saying this is great news for me? >> there is uncertainty over the next couple months and next year we start to see how this take sha shapes, the problem is other countries talking about are they going to pull out of the european union. >> right. be inspired. >> and spain and france and the netherlands and the unraveling of the entire block is a concern. people say is china going to benefit? they need a strong eu to sell their goods. >> let me ask you about the generational divide. 75% of 18-24 year-olds voted to

remain in the european union. and they lose. is there going to be a lot of anger at the older generation? >> i think there already has been a bit of anger. boris johnson, the leader of the brexit campaign left his house this morning in london in one of the wealthy boroughs of london that voted overwhelmingly to remain. he was greeted with a mob of angry pro european supporters heckling and shouting at him. it has the potential to get a little bit nasty. at the same time, the younger generation didn't vote as much as the older generation, a lot at the glasgow music festival or traveling in europe. older voters in their droves, whether through postal ballots or just turning up at the polling booths, they felt more passionately about this and that's democracy. >> tom and susan, thank you both for being with us. appreciate it. we're keeping an eye on that

box down in the corner of your screen, the dow still down. the uk's vote leave the eu having ripple effects throughout the world. it is not just about that box and your money, also about security coordination, especially when it comes to the fight against terror. as you'll see, when shoppers add an item to their jet carts, they automatically shrink the prices of millions of other products. very impressive. whoo, it's got a little kick to it. sorry, i can't hear you?? nice shirt craig. at jet.com, we always find innovative ways to save. get 15 percent off your first order. i accept i do a shorter set i acthese days.t 22 i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't play anything less than my best. so if there's something better than warfarin,

i'm going for it. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both... that's what i wanted to hear. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept i don't play quite like i used to. but i'm still bringing my best. and going for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

in the end, this question is about the people, about the right of the people of this country to settle their own destiny, about the very principles of our democracy. >> it's a great day for the british people. >> as we watch the world markets react to the news out of britain today, one of the other major concerns is what britain's decision to leave the european union means for national security. the e urku coordinates things l this. how does this impact counter

terrorism gathering? >> in the moment it's not imp t impacting and they will renegotiate these agreements. you're right, some european agencies try to spearhead this effort. a lot of intelligence sharing and yoorganizine ining organize and weapons trafficking, a lot based on the fact the european union exists and has this mechanism to cooperate. if you take the european union out of it, it seemed inevitable they have to negotiate these treaties bilaterally with the european union and you have seen on the financial side there may be hiccup and roadblocks and not easy separation. security is paramount for both the united kingdom and eu but in terms of united terrorism the fact you have less intelligence sharing and less cooperation, less police craig in, that is

more problematic than not. >> what about immigration? so many voters saying they were voting to get away from the eu because they felt immigration was a threat, the refugee crisis was threatening their security in britain. what happens now with immigration policy? >> that will be a real test for the european union. they have been struggling with like those in germany and others taking in refugees from central asia and afghanistan. a lot of countries have had this challenge with their own populations that feel the refugees and migrants coming in will pose a sense of risk because of culture di difrientiation and security concerns. the truth of the matter that was prominently portrayed in the brexit vote and you saw billboardses showing the migrants and trying to make a presence of them in security.

security is a main factor many decided to vote leaving the european union. they felt they needed to secure their borders more and been a cornerstone of the european union. that is a major factor. how that plays out the next several years depends on the negotiations that take place between the eu and united kingdom. the united kingdom wants to be part of the free-trade agreem t agreements. the eu may be reluctant to allow the uk stay part of the free-trade agreement while preventing free movement of people. if they want some of the benefits of trading with the eu, they may still impose free movement of people and that would require free movement of migrants and refugees to get to the united kingdom's doorstep. >> so many complications. today, german chancellor, andrea

merkel to warn against other quick conclusions to leave and says they must aim for close relationship to the united kingdom in the future. for more reaction out of europe, joined by a correspondent from dutch and belgian television. i want to play something we saw this morning on british television, from the leader of the uk independence group le leading people to leave the eu. hours after the vote comes out he's questioned about an ad they called a vert ed a veradverts pounds they end to eu every week wo gou to the national health service and asked if he could guarantee that? >> no, can't. i would have never made that claim. that was one of the mistakes.

>> wait a minute. it was one of your asverts. that's why many people have voted. >> they made a mistake doing that. what i can tell you is -- >> you're saying after 17 million people have voted for leave based -- i don't know how many people voted on the base of that advert, that was a huge propaganda. you're saying that's a mistake? >> we have a 10 billion pound a year and free money we can spend on nhs or schools or whatever it is. >> he's essentially saying he's not sure they can do what they promised in their ads. are we looking at a situation where what people thought would happen may not happen? >> you're looking at something very european, no scenario or clear leadership. people promise things and nobody anticipated that the brexit would actually happen and now we're here. guess what. there's no scenario. everybody in europe told me this

morning there's no scenario and nobody knows what's going to happen and it will take two years and they renegotiate and this and that and nobody knows in the end and this is a clear example in that. >> you're says it was emotion that drove a lot of this vote. >> in america terms, the brexit is pushed by the force that push trump in this country, emotional thing, yes, partly about money but mostly emotional, we want our borders back and want our immigration policy back, we want our country back. trump, who happened to be in scotland, how convenient, said the same thing. now for my country, the netherlands said the same thing, they want a brexit or netherlands exit. borders, immigration, we want our currency back and everything back. >> which is what angela merkel is worried about, let's not do anything crazy or rash. know it's her job to worry, like president obama is saying, calm down, nothing too drastic, it will be fine. >> is there some concern some

nations might try to follow suit? >> of course. you have scotland and northern ireland saying we don't want to be part of the great britain union inform. they will try. then there's netherlands and france, parties, not the whole population, parties saying we should have a referendum like this. it's hard to leave. a little bit like hotel california, you can check out but you can never leave as your correspondent rightfully said, there has to be negotiations. you're looking at a breakup of two partners, one is one and the other 27 angry wives so to speak. >> there's that divorce analogy again. >> represented by the eu and nasty and great to look at and everybody will see what are we going to get out of this, british and the other countries as a domino could say the same thing, we want that, too. >> glad for your perspective. thank you. in central california, two people confirmed dead, lives taken by a fast moving wildfire

threatening nearly 15 million homes as we speak. on the scene of that fire in lake isabella. what can you tell us? >> reporter: a lot of bad news coming out at this fire this afternoon. some of it is the wind. i don't know if you can see. the trees are blowing, this wind is blowing back from where the fire was last night. the fire swept through here yesterday and completely decimated this neighborhood. you're looking at a clump of ho homes, about five or six homes back to backside by side and it ripped through. these homes had no chance at all. now, we're seeing these evacuations will stand because the wind is whipping up again. we now know there have been two confirmed fatalities we have been hearing as soon as we got here and hearing rumors about them and we know at least two people have died here. it's something that kind of falls in line with what a lot of people in town have been telling

us about this particular neighborhood. they said their elderly parents live here and some may take naps or nay may be unable to leave t home in a hurry. we talked about vehicevacuees, worried about their neighbors and kids parents unable to get a ahold of them because their cell phones have been out in this area and two people have died and there is a possibility that possibility could climb. kate. >> gadi, keeping an eye on that and thanks so much. we're keeping an eye on the markets and 30 minutes to the closing bell, the west wing taking aim at donald trump, this time president biden issuing a blistering response to trump's tone and campaign strategy without ever mentioning the presumptive gop nominee by name. bernie sanders speaking on "morning joe" saying he will fight to keep trump away from the oval office.

>> are you going to vote for hillary clinton in november? >> yes. i think the issue right here is i'm going to do everything i can to defeat donald trump. to in minutes or across the globe in under an hour. whole communities are living on mars and solar satellites provide earth with unlimited clean power. in less than a century, boeing took the world from seaplanes to space planes, across the universe and beyond. and if you thought that was amazing, you just wait. ♪ think fixing your windshield is a big hassle? not with safelite. this family needed their windshield replaced but they're daughters heart was set on going to the zoo. so guess what, i met them at the zoo. service that fits your schedule. that's another safelite advantage. ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ ♪ everything your family touches sticks with them.

some politicians find it convenient to scapegoat immigrants instead of welcome them, to play to our fears. to play to our fears rather than as abraham lincoln said appeal to our better angels, divide us, based on religion or ethnicity rather than unite us on our common humanity, build walls instead of bridges. it has been un-american what we have been seeing. >> that was vice president joe biden speaking out about donald trump without actually menti mentioning him by name in dublin, ireland today, trump's proposed border wall and muslim ban have both become hot button

issues on this campaign trail and the reason a man who worked on six presidential campaigns, worked for ray gone and george h.w. bush and george w. bush and wrote "farewell my grand old party." he is a branding and media sunlight with sosa and sosa. >> thank you for having me on. >> you have worked with multiple presidents. do you agree with president biden when he says donald trump is scapegoating our fears? >> i do agree. he is taking the party too far, taking the party from being a party of opportunity, a party that welcomes people and party that's there for everyone into a very divisive angry type of

feeling i don't think is beneficial either to our party or this country. >> you wrote in that op-ed that came out on wednesday you didn't want this to happen. your party left you. that you feel you are left no choice. is this a temporary thing? can you see yourself going back to the republican party some day? >> i hope it is a temporary thing. i think the coming months will really tell. if donald trump gets elected, maybe we have a new republican party that i'll have to accept. if he loses, then we know that we're out in the willderness another four years and maybe another eight years and they have to get stuff together and will have to be able to open ourselves and say we welcome immigrants and we welcome lat o latinos and welcome asians and we welcome women and we welcome african-americ african-americans, we welcome young people. these are the parties that we have to reach out to. but we're not reaching out to any of them, or at least donald

trump is not reaching out to any of them. >> what about -- sorry, go ahead. >> that's what i feel is being lost, you know. george w. bush called himself a uni unifier, not a divider. george h.w. bush had a thousand points of light. a kinder gentler nation, compassionate conservativism. all those words are lost now and it's a new place, place i per n personally don't feel comfortable being in. >> lionel sosa, nice to have your perspective. thanks for being with us. we are watching the markets on the bottom of your screen.

remorse. >> actually trending in the uk is #wh#whathavewedone? this is mandy from london having a little buyer's remorse, take a listen. >> i would go back to the polling station and vote to stay simply because this morning the reality is actually hitting in and the regrets are filling in of we have actually left eu. >> a couple of examples for you of tweets we're seeing, this first one talks about the pound plumm plummeting. a lot of people woke up this morning and saw the markets, see at the bottom, nigel, farage, the leader. and i have one more tweet where somebody talks about basically, they feel they were robbed and lied too. passions still running high even after the vote. >> i wonder if any of that is off the interview we showed a little earlier where he couldn't

quite explain the campaign he had led and ads they had ran. >> any time you're talking immigration, the passion runs high. >> we've been talking about an up and approach the close of th markets, to say the least. amid the uk's vote to go it alone and leave the eu, the dow down about 548 points right now. the closing bell ten minutes away. we'll bring that to you live right here on msnbc. but first a look at what will grace the cover of the "ft weekend." the headline, "britain breaks with europe." we'll be right back.

500 something down. >> yes. all day, kate, it was sort of holding steady around 500, but in the last hour up to the close it was down as much as 640. we are well off that. the dow still down some 520 points. that's about a 3% drop. that is a pretty big move for the dow overall. that basically means we've wiped away our gains for the entire year. bank stocks the hardest hit. bank stocks such as goldman sachs, jpmorgan having their worst day since 2011. oil taking a big hit today. the only asset classes seeing it big is the u.s. dollar. the british pound plunges. the british pound falling 10% overnight. now trading at $1.34. it was the weakest price since 1985. overall traders just very unsure about what is going to happen next. nobody really knows what the

economic impact is going to be of a brexit. traders here in fact now taking bets on which will be the next european country to vote to leave the european union. a lot of uncertainty down here and that is a sell signal. one thing traders do seem to be on the same page about, they all feel that it's very much less likely that janet yellen, the chair of the federal bank of the u.s., is going to raise rates any time soon. given all this financial instability, the last thing the fed chair wants to do is tighten the monetary policy environment. kate. >> yeah. olivia, for those who have money in retirement funds and 401(k)s and college funds and we're all wondering what to do this weekend, hold on tight? >> yes. of course the worst thing you can do is panic and sell after the market drops. that said, it could be worth a call to your financial advisor and check out what is actually in your 401(k). do you have any exposure to european equities. that would be a good thing to

know. even if you have big u.s. multi nationals in your portfolio, it's worth checking out which ones they are and trying to figure out how much exposure they have to the british economy and the european economy more generally. if you're in the market for a new house, though, this could be good news because mortgage rates are likely to stay lower for longer. >> don't see a lotf people running behind you. is the mood calm? >> it was very frenzied this morning. a couple of things going on right now. we're about four minutes away from the close so things always heat up. obviously a huge week. there's this technical thing going down here with the rebalancing of the russell index, which is an index of smaller companies here in the u.s. that's causing even more volatility. a couple of traders i spoke to did say this is the biggest day of volume. for traders, that's good news because they're not taking bets on which way the market is moving, they just want other

people making bets on which way the market is moving. obviously a huge down day here on wall street with the dow off some 550 points right now. >> olivia sterns down on the floor of the stock exchange. thanks so much. let's turn to josh barrow, senior editor with "business insider" who joins me in new york. josh, you wrote today the strangest thing about brexit is of all the members of the european union, britain had the weakest case that it would be better off leaving. you're arguing that there were other countries that might want to leave that had a better case for it. >> i think the eu is a deeply flawed institution and the biggest problem is the eurozone. the problem is currency should move like they have moved today. countries with stronger economies should have stronger currencies. that hasn't been able to happen and that's been a big source of economic problems in places like greece and italy and spain over the last eight years. but britain is not in the euro. britain also has its own passport control regions so the issues in continental europe about migrants entering without

authorization to the continent don't really apply to britain. so brintain, people could move anywhere they wanted to europe without dealing with the problems of currency and unauthorized immigration. they should have kept that deal. i think what we're seeing today in the markets is a reflection of the fact that opting out of the eu is a big negative economic move for the world as a whole and especially for britain. >> as we look at this number, josh, and we're inching back towards down 600 potentially as it was about an hour ago, what does it mean for all of us? what does it mean for the u.s. dollar? i know you said one silver lining is travel to europe gets cheaper. >> the lowest pound since 1985 means it is a good time to take a vacation in london if you want to do that. mostly the weakening pound is negative for the u.s. economy. it's going to be harder for u.s. companies to sell their products into britain and the rest of europe. the dollar has strengthened

against the euro. these currencies weakened because this is a bad economic sign for europe and one thing they will do is import less stuff from the united states because their economies will weaken. that's a major reason that stock markets have fallen in the united states and all over the world today. i think that's the main takeaway people should take from this, this is a problem for the whole world, including us. josh, we're down 606 at the moment. josh, thanks so much. i'm kate snow live at msnbc world headquarters. just seconds away from that closing bell. my colleague, steve kornacki, picks things up. and continuing msnbc's coverage this hour, i'm steve kornacki. topping our agenda as kate just said, seconds away now from the closing bell. a day of chaos, a day of havoc on wall street, in markets all across the globe, this is day one of life after the brexit, the dow right now down close to 600 points, trading closing at

4:00 p.m. sharp. we are standing by with the final number and also with a live report as soon as that bell rings. also on our agenda, is it a harbinger, the campaign in britain to leave the eu. there's a lot of parallels to donald trump's campaign back here in the united states. could the shocking result in britain be a preview of what's to come here in november? we have been digging through the brexit numbers all day. as you can see, the bell ringing on wall street right now. trading now officially closed for the day. are we going to go there right now? are we going live to the floor on wall street? are we going? there it is. it's at 600 points. okay. we are going to get an update there -- here it is. mary thompson, cnbc's mary thompson. let's go to her right now. >> steve, an ugly day on
