my friend and a great leader, senator elizabeth warren. [ applause ] as elizabeth made clear, donald trump proves every day, he's not in it for the american people. she exposes him for what he is. termtly unfit and totally unqualified to be president of the united states. [ applause ] >> and a thousand-year flood. 25 people now have died as massive floods rip through west virginia. president obama declaring a state of emergency, and the national guard is helping with search and rescue everetts today. residents are facing devastation. >> this is my son's baby book. >> oh my goodness. >> that -- i mean, i don't know if i can save the pictures or not, but i'm going to try.

good day everyone, i'm andrea mitchell in cincinnati where hillary clinton and elizabeth warren have just finished their first rally together. we begin with the breaking news, major win for abortion rights advocates as the supreme court strikes down texas's restriction abortion law. this is the court's most significant decision on abortion nearly 25 years. joining me now from the supreme court, nbc's justice correspondent pete williams, pete, major decision. and this does establish precedence. >> reporter: it does, andrea because it's based on the constitutional finding that the law fails a test at the supreme court enacted 25 years ago when it said that states can restrict access to abortion, but can't do so in a way that is an undue burden on a woman's right to choose. supreme said that texas law fails on two counts, its provision that doctors have to have admitting privileges and secondly the clinics have been built to the same medical

standards as walk-in surgical centers. the five people in the majority in an opinion written by justice steven breyer said there's no medical necessity for those things and it makes it worse for women by reducing the number of clinics that are available and creating overcrowding, and increasing the possibility just as ruth ginsburg said when they try some illegal means to produce an abortion. only one justice, clarence thomas, would fully have voted to uphold this law. that's a very interesting fact. the other members of the minority, the chief justice and samuel alito would have sent it back on a number of technical legal grounds. only one full up supporter for the law. it's a big setback for this entire movement,around rab, to try to nibble away at abortion by getting at the clins and this imperils laws in effect in 12 other states based on the texas model. >> and as you point out, these other states, 12 other states now have laws that are too

restrictive, unconstitutional, and undue burden according to to the supreme court. and that is one of the big cases that has been decided since the death of justice scalia, and interestingly, not a 4-4 tie. >> reporter: right, it wouldn't have made any difference, likely. you never know how the interplay may have been different. it would have been 5-4, anthony kennedy joid the more liberal members of the court to produce this five vote majority. now the opponents said that it caused a number of clinics in texas to cut an app to go from 42 to 19. and that he if the law stayed in effect, it would have gone to 10. the fact that the law had been struck down does not mean that we're going back to 42 clinics. it'll be a long process to increase the number that they say the number will go back up, but it'll never get back to 42. >> and there's a big, a big case in terms of the former virginia governor, bob mcdonnell. the court ruled that he deserves

a retrial. on what grounds are they sending that case back to the district court? >> reporter: basically the legs cut off the prosecution, andrea. the prosecutors had said that he got all these cash and favors from the virginia businessman in exchange for official acts. and today, et supreme court said what he did wasn't official acts. official act has to be an exertion of government authority on a matter of pending business, just doing what mcdonnell did, setting up meetings, calling staff members and saying why don't you talk to this guy hosting lunches? they vacate his conviction. they send it back to the appeal's court to say, well, you figure it out, should he have a new trial. if he does vu a new trial, the government will have both hands tied behind his back now with restrictive reading of what official acts are. this is a big win for mcdonnell. it's a big win for him. >> thanks so much, pete williams, busy day on the court. as we say, we're hearing from

planned parenthood, the chief plaintiff in that case coming up with cecil richards later in the show. meanwhile here in cincinnati, a big political show. hillary clinton standing side by side with elizabeth warren for the first time in front of a wildly excited crowd. i can only tell you there were lines snaking outside, people trying to get in. fuelling a lot of buzz of course about an all-woman ticket, warren is clinton's strongest weapon to win over bernie sanders supporters. and an hour ago she went after donald trump in a straight line attack. >> he cheered on the 2008 housing crash because he could scoop up more real estate on the chief, and he cheered on students, desperate enough to sign up for his fake university, so he could bleed them dry and turn a profit for himself. [ crowd booing ] what kind of a man does that? what kind of a man roots for people to lose their jobs?

to lose their homes? to lose their life savings? i'll tell you what kind of a man, a small, insecure, money-grubber who fights for no one but himself. [ applause ] what kind of a man? a nasty man who will never become president of the united states. [ applause ] >> joining me now here in cincinnati, nbc news white house correspondent kristin welker and amy chosen. both of whom have been on the road covering hillary clinton all along. amy, first to you, there was the visual element, there were the sound bytes, there was the chemistry between two women who have not been close before. but as they say in politics, you can be there together on that stage firing up the crowd, that may be all you need. >> exactly. this seemed like an unlikely political alliance.

they solidified into this interesting dynamic. she's the trump slayer. they've had differences in the past, today they struck similar populist notes, raising minimum wage, you would think their politics have been aligned looking at today's event. >> and kristin, picking up on that point, oh the storylines. in the speech for hillary clinton. were things that elizabeth warren and even bernie sanders would be comfortable with? >> absolutely up. senator sanders wasn't on that stage, andrea, but elizabeth warren, hillary clinton hit all of the notes almost that we've heard them hit on the campaign trail. there's no doubt an event rallies all of those progressive sanders voters who aren't quite sure they're ready to get behind secretary clinton. i think the optics were critical. i know that the clinton campaign will be watching closely. there was a lot of question, would senator warren overshadow secretary clinton, i think what you saw was that crowd more energized than we've seen in the

past. and then as we continue to discuss. seems to be one of the more effective people of taking on donald trump. she used that goofy term, against him. you want to see goofy, look at his hat. >> and i was talking to one of the clinton aids and said, you know, the magic of what she does, she gets under his skin like no one else seems to be able to. >> absolutely. she's been very effective at that. and, you know, i would say generally women have gotten under his skin in ways that male opponents haven't been able to. >> you remember megyn kelly, carly fiorina, go through the list. today there was a dynamic duo of two women taking him on. to your point of bernie sanders, he'll vote for hillary, but only to defeat donald trump. as he's deciding whether to campaign for her, she proved that i can woo your base without you with elizabeth warren star power. >> great point. >> one of the points about elizabeth warren, she was on with rachel, and she said you meet the commander in chief test?

would you be ready, she said yes, i would be. this is what tim cain had to say on meet the press with chuck todd. >> are you qualified to be commander in chief? >> you know what, nobody should ever say they're ready for that responsibility because it is so, so huge. abraham lynn khan wouldn't have said yes, harry trueman wouldn't have said yes. those were my two favorite presidents. >> so tim kaine is the front runner. >> he's fluent in spanish, payor, all of this foreign relations experience, amy, that was a very obvious implied rebuke to elizabeth warren saying yeah, i'm ready to be commander in chief. >> that's an interesting response. i also loved his response when he was asked, you know, are the safe, boring choice. he said, well boring people are the fastest-growing demographic. he shows that he has humor in this. i for one have thrown cold water on the warren rumors.

i don't think we're going to shee that. she's certainly considered and vetted. and it's a narrative that both sides want out there. they're closely aligned and hillary clinton is considering her seriously as a running mate. >> to that point, i don't think she necessarily needs elizabeth warren to be on the ticket to achieve what elizabeth warren achieves, throw red meat to the base. get under donald trump's skin, and tim kaine continues to be the front runner. you have to look at the brexit vote and the chemistry here today, certainly considering it. >> well, two of my great road warrior pals. thanks so much. amy from the "new york times." thank you for rushing out here. the event just ended. i want to bring in former white house communications director and senior obama campaign advisor, anita dunn in washington. you watched this event, it did seem like magic on that stage. >> andrea, it's hard to describe. i think that -- but i think democrats across the country probably looked that the event

and thought they saw a pretty good winning ticket for the fall. the chemistry looked very real. the arguments worked very well, and there was a sense of them being complimentary in the same way that bill clinton and al gore always looked complimentary to each other as well. >> even their colors seem to match. >> i wasn't going to go there. >> i know, i know. i briefly -- i was on that rope line trying to get a question in, elizabeth warren was adept at not answering a question as she took questions and selfies with people. hillary clinton, when i said, how did she do? she said it was a great event, it was a great event. speaking directly to the question of how did elizabeth warren do? so that was a response, you know, iowa knee that, we've talked about this in other shows, but it does seem like there is sort of a hard to define quality. you mentioned gore, i was on with him on bus trips.

with bill clinton and al gore and of course their spouses. and there was something that was, you know, that was the boomer magic. that was a generation nol ship. and you got a little taste of that today. >> i fwrougt up for a reason as well, al gore was not a conventional choice for bill clinton. he was generationally the same, geographically the same, and id logically the same, but it did work because there was a sense of this page being turned in the country's politics. you look at elizabeth warren and hillary clinton up there today, and you also had a sense of a page being turned where women cannot only run for president, win their party's nomination, but an elizabeth warren can go on tv and yes, i am qualified. i have to say, i take issue with tim kaine's full response when he says nobody ever says they're kwufled. when you run for president, you are saying to the american people that you are qualified for that job.

and i think it's 2016 and women can say yes, i'm qualified to be vice president. yes, i'm qualified to be president. and that, i think, visually was a really important message today. >> and we've got a little audio of that rope line. it was a bit difficult up there, there'ses so many people, but let's play a little bit of that. >> how did she do? >> it was a great event. >> so that's as good as it can get from the campaign road, road trip, but let's also talk about bernie sanders. i sense growing annoyance on the part of team clinton at sanders reluctance again on television yesterday with jake tapper, not saying that he would endorse her. and in fact, taking fault with some of the concessions that were made in st. louis by one of the subcommittees, the platform committee saying we'll see how far they go, further two weeks from now in orlando. he said grudgingly on morning

joe on friday morning, yes, yes kyl vote, he didn't say yes he had to vote for her, about whether he would vote, he said yes, i want to defeat donald trump. and then, still not endorsing her. not dropping out, not suspending his campaign. he still has the protection at the expense of tax payers. we're also seeing on our new nbc/wall street poll that some of sanders supporters are moving towards clinton. there is an increase in those saying they would vote for her. does elizabeth warren help her enormously, the bad problem? >> well, i think senator sanders, you know, fully understands that there'll be an appropriate time for him to endorse her. he said he's going to vote for her. he has said that he will do everything he can to defeat donald trump and clearly there is one step left to for him to take. and presumably he'll take it when he feels it's appropriate, but of course his supporters are moving to hillary clinton because there's a choice in

november. and the choice is donald trump. and hillary clinton. and his voters are looking at that, it's clear who's aligned with the issues that bernie sanders talked about, and elizabeth warren is someone who has always been able to speaking to that piece of the democratic party that really is fully committed to economic justice. and i think she is an enormous help in helping the sanders voters come behind clinton, which they're doing as the convention gets closer anyway. >> anita dunn, always great to see you, thanks for joining us today. >> have fun out there. >> stay with us -- it is great fun out here, as you can tell we're all picking up on the vibe in covering what could be an evolving political story. and then more coming up on that landmark supreme court decision overturning texas's restrictive abortion law which reduced the number of clinics available from 42 to 19 and would have shut down even more.

the president of planned parenthood cecil richards coming up next. you're watching andrea mitchell reports on msnbc. we're good. okay... what if a million people download the new app? we're good. five million? good. we scale on demand. hybrid infrastructure, boom. ok. what if 30 million people download the app? we're not good. we're total heroes. scale on demand with the number one company in cloud infrastructure. ugh. heartburn.g ] sorry ma'am. no burning here. try new ka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmmm. incredible. looks tasty. you don't have heartburn. new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. enjoy the relief.

this new dog treat called max and dentalife.covered it's really different. see? it's flexible... ...and it has a chewy, porous texture, full of little tiny air pockets that gives dogs' teeth a clean scrub all the way down to the gum line. (vo) introducing purina dentalife. for life.

on their last decision day of the year, the supreme court struck down one of the nation's toughest restrictions on abortion in a 5-3 decision. joining me now is cecil richard, the president of the planned parenthood. cecil, i said earlier you were a plaintiff, you were not involved in this case, but i wanted to get your reaction. >> sure, well thank you, andrea. look, this was a huge victory for women today. the women of texas, frankly women all across the country. and really applaud the senator that brought this suit and then the dozens of folks like planned parenthood who filed supporting briefs. this case is huge. this 5-3 victory means that now women will be able to actually

access safe and legal abortion in texas, in many areas of the state. and of course that doctors who have been prevented from providing medical care will finally be able to care for women again. it's a really big day for women. >> and what about the other states that have similar, there are 12 states that have similar restrictions? do you expect that people will begin challenging those one by one? >> absolutely. i mean this is -- what this means now, i think the court has spoken decisively about the laws that have been passed in order -- that have nothing to do with women's health, but in fact passed just in order to make it more difficult for women to make their own decisions about their presentations. what this means is we can now challenge these, not only in court, but work to repeal them, state by state, again, there is just no way to overstate what an important victory this was. and i think it really underscored the court's decision showed how much women have suffered in the state of texas

under these -- under this law. you know, it was really just about three years ago that thousands of people went to the capital, day after day and of course senator wendy davis held her famous 13-hour filly buster. this has been a law that was never supported by the people of texas. it was wrongly passed. and it's really wonderful to have this victory today by the supreme court. >> i was very struck, cecil, now i could stand corrected because i was inside of that rally, it was very hard to heahe loud speakers, but you had two women on the stage, two powerful, supposedly progressive democratic women, but i did not hear them talking about this ruling. i have been told that they were going to add that to the speech, but then it was pointed out to me by someone involved in that planning that cincinnati is what they call a pro-life area, and that they were political drawbacks to talking about abortion rights with this -- in this kind of community. >> well, actually i've been

following the case, so i didn't follow this most recent rally, but i will say, secretary clinton tweeted out immediately her support, and of course understanding that -- >> i saw that -- >> the fight goes on. this was not simply a matter of this decision. as we know, there are still women across the country who do not have access to safe and legal abortion. we never to overturn the height amendment, nine justices on the supreme court. there's a lot of work left to do. these issues are going to be important in the national election. in november. and it was wonderful to hear, i know that the white house and the administration has always put out a statement applauding this decision and the right of women to make their own decisions about their health care, including their pregnancies. >> indeed. the president statement says i'm pleased to see the supreme court protect women's rights and health today. as the brief file by the general makes clear that the court affirmed today, these restrictions harm health and plays an unconstitutional

obstacle in the woman's reproductive freedom. so clearly that is in part what the president had to say from the white house. at this point, does that take some of the emotion out of the political debate? over the supreme court? if abortion is at least, for now, off the table? or as you point out, is a lot of work from your perspective more to be done? >> there is a lot of work left to be done. of course this is a country that believes that abortion should be a decision that's left up to a woman and her doctor. and firmly support that. and clearly when you have a candidate, secretary clinton who is so strongly in support of women's health and rights and on the other hand donald trump said he would appoint justices who would overturn roe versus wade. this is going to continue to be important. it is going to be a defining issue for women voters in november. i think we are going to see a record gender gap in november. and this is going to be one of the main reasons, and the

planned parenthood action fund as well as others will be making this an important point in the months to come. >> and the clinton campaign is pointing out i'm told they did open with a brief statement on the abortion issue. i've got to tell you, in that loud crowd it was hard to hear everything going on. >> i'm sure. >> we'll fix that as well. cecil richards, thank you very much. i know it's a busy day. thanks for joining us. >> thanks andrea, good to see you. >> you bet. and coming up, keep calm and carry on. prime minister david cameron trying to ease fears after the brits vote to break away. the latest from london, coming up next on msnbc. real is touching a ray. amazing is moving like one. real is making new friends. amazing is getting this close. real is an animal rescue. amazing is over twenty-seven thousand of them.

there is only one place where real and amazing live. seaworld. real. amazing

you owned your car for four years, you named it brad. you owned your car for fyou loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends, three jobs... you're like nothing can replace brad. then liberty mutual calls, and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement™, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. see car insurance in a whole new light. libertmutual insurance. i think it is absolutely essential that we stay focussed on how in this transitional period, nobody loses their head. nobody goes off half cocked, people don't start ginning up,

scattered brained or revengeful premise, but we look for ways to maintain the strength that will serve the interests and the values that brought us together in the first place. >> john kerry in brussels earlier today and now in london. where he's going to be speaking in the next hour. it's hard to be reassuring about the future and of course the partnership, that special relationship after britain's decision to break away. kerry as i say has arrived for meetings in london with british prime minister david cameron, now a lame duck prime minister. now we have been reporting from london, dan, thanks so much for being with us. first of all -- >> happy to be with you. >> just to clear up confusion on this side, we're told that while this was not final, it is final, there is really no review. it's just a matter of parliament taking action, and in fact, leaders in brussels, the other 27 want them to speed up the

exit, the negotiation, not slow it down. >> that's right. there is some confusion still about what exactly it will take to trigger this process and whether there are any ways to undo it, but what's happened over the last few days, clearly is that there's been a desire on the part of the leaders in europe to move this on a faster timetable than perhaps some of the people here in britain wanted to do. there seems to be a bit of a confluence on that at this point. and it's still a very long, slow process. i mean it probably won't be triggered until early fall, and then it's a two-year process to negotiate the terms of the separation. so it's -- they're going to be in the middle of this for a long time and that's creating a lot of instability. >> and the instability reflected in the pound dropping to a 31-year low. our markets, the dow is down 227 after the opening today. there's going to be a lot of

volatility associated with this uncertainty. and what is the political fall kbrout? first of all over there, see they're going to have a party decision as to the next prime minister. what are the odds of horace johnson, the former mayor of london who led the brexit -- >> back up -- >> yeah. >> let me just back up half a step. the political fallout cannot be overstated. i mean david cameron has lost his position as prime minister as a result of this vote. that means that the conservative party has to pick a new leader to succeed him and then become prime minister. but after that, there is likely to be a general election in order to ratify the choice of the conservative party. at the same time, the labor party is in the middle of a vicious civil war aimed at current leader jeremy corbin who has seen a massive defection of his front line leadership over

the last few days. at least two dozen people have defected and there is now a crises within the parliamentary labor, but jeremy is insistent that he has the support of the rank and file member's. they're headed for a very bruising fight at the time when the country needs a strong opposition party as well as a strong governing party. >> and at a time when the u.s. needs a strong uk because of a lot of problems overseas. and starting with the syrian civil war, problems with vladimir putin, john kerry trying to smooth it over, but that's at best a band aid today with his presence there. there's not much that the u.s. can do with an outgoing prime minister. what are the parallels that you might see with this kind of populist revolt? we know that immigration is a big issue here as well as there, they've been faced more with the migration crisis obviously it's more on their doorstep. and the american population is much more diverse and much more

open to immigration, at least in the democratic side, but what are the warning signals, if any, for hillary clinton and the democrats? >> well, i think the warning signals for hillary clinton and the democrats and frankly for political leaders in general sl that they cannot take for granted that the sort of resentment and anger and populist sentiment that exists not just in our country, this country, but in a lot of different countries. there are a lot of threads that have come together here to produce those result. some of those clearly exist in the united states. now as you point out, a referendum is not the same as picking a new president of the united states, and there are other significant differences that you can't simply say because something happened here that it's going to happen in the same way in the united states. but this is not a time for political leaders to be come place sent or to think that the status quo is acceptable to a

good size of the electorate wherever that electorate is. >> dan bowles, washington post correspondent. thanks so much for joining us from london today. coming up, joining forces. hillary clinton and elizabeth warren teaming up today in their first joint appearance. is it a preview of more to come? stay with us. vin. hey, fancy seeing you here. uh, i live right over there actually. you've been to my place. no, i wasn't...oh look, you dropped something. it's your resume with a 20 dollar bill taped to it. that's weird. you want to work for ge too. hahaha, what? well we're always looking for developers o are up for big world changing challenges like making planes, trains and hospitals run better. y don't you eck your new watch and te me what time should be there. oh, i don't hire people. i'm a developer. i'm gonna need monday off. again, not my call. that's why i run on quickbooks. details. i use the payments app to accept credit cards... ...and everything autosyncs. those sales prove my sustainable designs are

better for the environment and my bottom line. that's how i own it.

squuuuack, let's feed him let's feto the sharks!sharks! yay! and take all of his gold! and take all of his gold!

ya! and hide it from the crew! ya...? squuuuack, they're all morons anyway! i never saidhat. they all smell bad too. no! you all smell wonderful! i smell bad! if you're a parrot, you repeat things. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what u do. squuuuack, it's what you do. and we have breaking news. the house democrats on that benghazi committee have just released their long-awaited minority report on the benghazi attacks. joining me now from capitol hill with more is luke brussard from capitol hill. from the caveat that the democratic report was going to be defending the administration and has long been arguing that the republicans have been going too far in trying to prosecute this case. what are the headlines coming out of the democratic report?

>> reporter: well we should caution our viewers this dropped at noon today, it's 344 pages, we have a team back at the bureau going through this trying to fine the highlights. find the golden nuggets if you will. the most important thing is absolutely the way you characterize this is correct. the democrats on the benghazi select committee implied rather that chairman gowdy, the republican who's chairman of this committee led a partisan witch hunt. they were locked out of meetings. did not have access to the information that republicans did. they say that in the future, historians will look back at this congressional investigation as an example of an overzealous member sent to try to prosecute a democratic nominee and acting totally without regard in out of bounds. so they're very, very forceful about that. as for what came forward regarding the investigation that actually happened in benghazi on that night, a few highlights from the report, i'll just read them quickly.

repeated republican claims of secretary clinton or anyone else delaying the military response or ordered to stand down are unsubstantiated and offensive to our men and women in uniform. essentially ab solving hillary clinton. the united states military could not have done anything differently on the night of the attacks that would have saved the lives of the four brave americans in benghazi. they make the point that the dod plans are in place that evening that any adequate response was too far. and they say that has now changed in the last few years. they say the security measures in benghazi will wholly inadequate and that was a result of diplomatic security. if anyone gets raked over the coals, it's the bureau of democratic security that they say was not adequate, obviously that fell under hillary clinton at the time, but they said she was not directly responsible for the inadequacies and i'm sure there's a lot more that we'll get to as we go through the 344

pages. as of right now, not unexpectedly ab solving hillary clinton of direct responsibility and procedures that had been in place that theerng are not adequate in present day, andrea. >> and luke, just to, just to reset the table here, there were seven other congressional investigations. hillary clinton got through an 11-hour interrogation from this committee last fall. independent review board fro the state department also reported and explored midlevel officials and some higher ups in the state department, but did not interview and did not even investigate what her role was or was not. and when the republicans who say that they are going to have the majority report soon, when they have their report, we'll have full coverage here on this program. luke, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> thanks for being with us. and hillary clinton got a boost today. what a clinton-warren ticket might look like when the pair rallied here in cincinnati.

founder of the washington post fix blog and usa today washington bureau chief, two great handicappers of vice presidential short list. sop let's go to the list with both of you. susan, first to you, on your short list, let's talk about the democrats first, you have on your list, i believe, tim kaine, shaird brown, but not elizabeth warren. question there as to why not, why not elizabeth warren and my friend, chris, you've got kaine, castro, warren, brown, and broussard. why don't you think warren or perhaps you've changed your mind after watching the two of them today? >> you know elizabeth warren gave a terrific speech with hillary clinton and did hillary clinton a lot of good. elizabeth warren a lot of good and help kind of reclaim the progressive mantle that bernie

sanders has been holding over the last couple months with his campaign. but this does not really change my assessment that she is not a likely vice presidential pick, not impossible that she would be chosen, but i think in terms of, you know, kind of the demands of the job, which requires you to be -- to take a secondary slot, not always speak your mind as vice president's discover sometimes to their disappointment, and also just the politics of it. i think there are other things that hillary clinton could do with that vice presidential pick that would do her more good. >> and before we move on to republican possibilities, chris, your best bets for democratic running mate, especially after watching today? >> yeah, i still think tim kaine, because it's the do no harm pick and he happens to be from virginia. former head of the democratic national committee, he's been a senator, governor, mayor, a guy who is a governing pick. and deep down in places they don't talk about and parties clinton people probably figure they're going to win if they do

nothing hugely wrong or take any big risks. now that may be the right or wrong gallon. i think kaine. i put warren on the list ian though i totally agree with susan because we know she's been vetted. i feel like if you make a top five, you've got to include the people who we know are being vetted. i think the leak that elizabeth warren was being vetted which came out a week or so ago was really designed to say, consider her liberals, we're not dismissing you out of hand. though i'm with susan, i'm very skeptical she winds up getting it. >> and when we turn to the republicans, both of you have chris christie on your list. what happened to the theory you don't want someone who would overshadow the nominee? >> you know, here's my theory, you remember when we saw with john mccain in the end he didn't want to pick somebody he didn't like, didn't want to be with? they kept encouraging him to take picks that he really didn't want and so he went with sarah palin who he didn't really know. chris christie has a high

comfort level with donald trump and he's more than willing to go after hillary clinton in an aggressive way. i think if donald trump just goes with who he wants, that chris christie would definitely be very much in contention. >> and chris, when you look at your list, who is the most likely choice for donald trump? >> i still think chris christie. this is the guy who sacrificed -- we know that donald trump wants a politician. he said that. he wants someone who understands governess to his mind. we assume it's a politician, christie fits that bill. he fits in terms it of personality traits, willingness to say what he thinks and really has sacrificed more than any other politician to support donald trump. remember he was in very early on for trump. he has gotten a ton of ridicule for that decision. he may have sort of nixed his chances going forward if he doesn't wind up on the ticket. and he likes people he knows need him. and chris christie very much

needs him to pick him as vp. >> thanks both for joining us on a big political day today. coming up historic floods. more heavy rains even expected in west virginia today. survivors trying to pick up the pieces. senator joe manchin joins us next. on the msnbc. n cards can help you take on a new job, or fill a big order or expand your office and take on whateveromes next. find out how american express cards and services can help prepare you for growth at open.com. find out how american express cards and services mother in-law with a glad bag, full of trash. what happens next? nothing. only glad has febreze to neutralize odors for 5 days. guaranteed.

i have a lifetime of experience. so i know how important that is. jen stops workg,, but her aleve doesn't. hemom! because aleve can last 4 hours longer than tylenol 8 hour. what will you do with you? officials still looking for more victims in west virginia, 23 people at least were kill ed the deadly flooding. senator joe manchin is with us now. you are so deeply rooted and connected to your people. our condolences. this is really kbron how else to describe this? >> thank you so much. the outpouring of compassion and love has been great, and we appreciate it very much.

you know, we thought the death toll went to 25 and then i just found out that this is still a 23 because two of the people that neighbors saw being washed away were found alive. so search and rescue have still continued. there's always hope, you know that. always hope for a miracle, but this is devastating. i've never seen anything like it in my life. i came back last night to be here to make sure everything was done on the federal level. i intend to go back to the state to help my entire staff is out trying to assist. i want to thank the president, the white house, they acted really, really promptly and basically signing the declaration of disaster for three counties and we're assessing how many more, but it's a devastating proportion. i talked to a man yesterday and he took me down into white sulfur springs down by the creek. three homes collided, that's the one you saw burned up and blew up, and the one woman was in the attic, she got blown out of the

house and hanging into a tree. i think she finally pa rished last night because of the burns she had. then the other people up the other side of the street i talked to the grandmother who she lost her husband, her daughter, and one of her two grandsons, they climbed into the attic before it was washed away. i don't know how -- you know, my heart goes out and my prayers. i don't know how to console people that such tragic losses, but we'll get through it. west virginia is tough. we'll make it. but we appreciate and we do need the help. >> well, i know you mountaineers are tough, but it's so heart breaking. what more should or could the federal government do, fema, what can we do as americans to help our neighbors? >> yeah, in 1985 we had a historic flood. and the federal government and fema worked in, we altered the streams and did repairs to streams, infrastructure, and in some areas, you know, we didn't have the loss of life like we did this time, but we have more destructions as far as

railroads, trussles, bridges, and all of that. the little state of west virginia -- no state can take on that. we need help with infrastructure. fema will come in and help the people with the disaster. so many people do not have flood insurance, andrew, they couldn't afford it. they just couldn't afford it. astronomical, but they're going to have to have help. they'll have to have help to relocate out of the floodplain and fema has always been good. we're hoping that will continue. i know it will. they're immediately set up right now and people are taking and registeri registering, but if people to want know where they can help and donate and give back, probably go to my website manchin.senate.gov is very easy. manchin.senate.gov. we have all of the listings of where you can go do, if you want to go to the state and volunteer, no money but yourself and compassion and love to help other people. we need you. if you have resources, we need it. if you have any types of goods that can help people start over, that's needed also.

>> senator joe manchin, thank you so much, thanks for that and of course, again, our thoughts are with you and the people of west virginia. and right now to london, secretary of state john kerry speaking in london about that special relationship. >> our relationship with the eu. i reaffirm the centrality of u.s. eu relations and the common agenda that we share. this includes the promotion of peace in syria. the defeat of daesh, support for afghanistan and it's fight against its extremists. support for the government in libya, support for a sovereign and democratic ukraine. just to mention a few of the global challenges that bring us together constantly. it includes addressing the global refugee crisis, implementing both climate change agreement approved in paris and the joint comprehensive plan of action with iran to reduce the

threat posed by a nuclear weapon. it includes our international health efforts, where together we help stop the spread of ebola and now stand on the threshold of the first generation, born free from aids. and it includes our effort to revolutionize the way that we produce energy. crack down on corruption, create jobs, and spur growth on both sides of the atlantic. and while last thursday's outcome was as phillip said, different from what he hoped for, it was different from what both our governments look for. >> that's john kerry with phillip hammond, his counterpart in the uk who of course will also face a shake-up as that cabinet is changed and as the prims resigns. and this morning the dow jones industrial average briefly fell more than 300 points extending friday's decline.

olivia stern joins us live from the stock exchange. olivia, have things begun to rebalance or facing a lot of volatility? >> we are off session lows. it's interesting, not a huge amount of volatility, despite the fact there's a huge a. volume and some traders down here have been telling me they think that is a sign that there might be a little bit of confidence out there because the vix is known as the fear index, and if it's not spiking, that suggests there is confidence. the number it is scary. off now 275 points. s&p all five out of 38 points right now. flirting with that psychologically important 2000 level. basically we're back to where we were in march, we've been wiped away the gains for 2016. i'm looking at a dow that is 17,124 in december of 2014 was the first time it broke through 18,000. it's interesting. i think what everybody down here

is trying to figure out, andrea, is to what extent the american economy are exposed to the brexit and what you are hearing people begin to say is perhaps some stocks have been oversold if they're down now 6, 7% since the vote because they may not have so much actual exposure what's going on in in europe, around andrea. >> and olivia, in terms of the reserves that the banks have, a lot of fixes were made in the year since 2008. we're not worried about a run on banks so much anymore, correct? >> we are not so much worried about a run on banks anymore because now we have had the stress tests and a lot of them have boosted their so-called capital buffers which means they have much bigger rainy day funds if you want to call it that. the banks are in better health, the american banks have done more reforms than the british banks. either way the bank stock, the biggest victims here. earlier today in trading and london, both rbs were halted.

shares in barkleys alone, down 31% because these are the companies whose futures whose business models are in question. are the banks going to move from london to paris? who knows? jpmorgan and goldman sachs really weighing on the index and heard immediately, we saw a letter leaked from jamie diamond, the ceo on friday already signaling to his employees, listen, we're not going to make any decisions soon, but it's very possible that in the coming years we might have to relocate many of you elsewhere, lickly the continent -- likely the continent. >> and what we're going to see as, you know, dimensions of this widen is major businesses deciding not to invest in the uk because of uncertainties. >> of course. uncertainty is the number one thing that is just toxic to economic growth. to put it in perspective, $2

trillion wiped off of markets on friday. that's about the gdp of the uk. it's as if we erased the entire economic output of britain. from that sense, it seems overdone, but it's this issue that the uncertainty can create this paralysis, that it can infect capital markets and then talk yourself into a sell-off which can sort of tricker a recession. all of this stuff is psychological interlinked and potentially very damaging, andrea. >> thanks so much. thanks, olivia stern at the stock ek change and much more coming up on msnbc. stay with us, we'll be right back. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension. your blood pressure could drop to an unsafe level. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medic help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. ask your doctor about viagra single packs.
