8:01 am
>> this is some of the damage that was done when the tornado struck overnight. and this is one of the bricks that was torn from the facade of this gas station and tossed around like a tennis ball. it's a wonder that no one was seriously hurt. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. a handful of democrats this morning are still holding an extraordinary sits-in on the house floor. they want a vote on new guidance laws. >> call these republicans up on the phone and tell them we want a vote! >> bring common sense gun control legislation to the house floor. give us a vote! >> the '60s-style protest even include members singing "we shall overcome." >> cameras and microphones were off, so members streamed the sit-in fm

during elections that are taking place in just a few months. beyond that, house republicans say it's the principle of the thing, that democrats shouldn't be able to break the rules, disrupt the business of the house, and then be rewarded for it. >> nancy, thank you very much. the battle in the house extended to the campaign trail. donald trump and hillary clinton used their speeches yesterday to portray each other as dangerous for the country. >> she lacks the temmeperant and the judgment and the competence to lead our country. >> he's going after me personally because he has no answers on the substance.

"the new york times" says more than 46 million people are registered to vote. recent polls show a neck and neck battle. >> britain's departure known as brexit. if the u.k. leaves the 28-nation partnership, the shockwaves could rattle the global economy. mellody hobson is at the table. good morning. >> good morning. >> we're going to talk about how this could affect our mortgage rates and other things at home. first, what are your sources telling you about how it vote may go? >> very close. it's going to be very close. on the one hand, it looks like it will come through. they will remain. the market seems to be signaling that. as of monday, it breathed a sigh of relief. you also see the bookmakers saying the odds are with staying. the polls are saying stay. however, some question the polls because they overindex for the cities which are more likely to be in favor of staying. people are worried about the generational divide. young people are in favor of staying. older people are in favor of leaving. older people are the votes you can count on. >> what's the impacts of
8:07 am
impact of the death and murder of the member of parliament? >> some feel that's helped those who want to stay. it's come across as being very extreme. as a result, it's turned some people saying i don't want to be associated with this person in this horrible, horrible outcome in terms of this death of this m.p. so in some ways, it did help those who want to stay as horrible as that is to say. >> this vote has great implications for what happens in this country, as well. >> implications for the globe. the u.k. is small but mighty. 65 million people, second largest economy in europe. there's never been a country to go out. so this makes a big statement about free trade. it makes a big statement about how people feel about open borders. as a result, we'll see repercussions in the market for sure. if this vote goes the wrong way, hold on to your seat tomorrow and for the coming days. there also is a sense it could be the first domino to fall. so other countries that are feeling a little antsy might
8:08 am
and it really would start a very bad situation. we're already looking at slow growth in europe. this could slow it even further. >> we want them to stay. >> we want them to stay. yes. the investment community in the u.s. wants them to stay. fingers crossed. >> mark phillips said this vote is being as much driven by fear as economic concerns. explain that. >> it resonates with some of the things that donald trump is saying. just now -- america first. make america great. it's about this idea of terrorism. so the fear around my personal security. my financial security, are these immigrant taking -- immigrants taking my job? free trade, they also call them economic migrants, not just syrian immigrants. people are coming to europe for a better life. the issues around free trade, nationalism, anti-government vote, as well. there's a lot that resonates. >> and it will have political repercussions in great britain in
8:09 am
cameron. >> if cameron loses the vote, he called nature referendum, he although -- called for this referendum, he loses his job. everyone says it. >> this summer saw the queen, the prime minister, and got involved in this and said if in fact they leave, not giving advice, but if in fact you leave, you're going to have to go to the end of the queue in terms of relationships with the united states on trading and economic matters. >> i also think it's going to affect the reps with the e.u. even if they stay. this is bad versus very bad. bad because they've already signaled we may want out. you don't get welcomed back to the table enthusiastically. when you've sort of had one foot out the door. that's going to be hard to repair over time. >> well, and mark n mark's piece, he says the bookies are predicting as close as it is that they will vote to stay. >> they will remain. >> here's the only question -- if they vote to stay, could they vote again later if the vote is really close? it may not be one and done. down the road.
