nbc can have their own policy in charlotte, north carolina, or anywhere in north carolina. but i do plooef believe in our schools, our middle schools, our universities, we should continue to have the tradition that we've been having in this country for years. and we have a womens facility and a mens facility. you know, it's worked out pretty well. and i don't think we need any further government interference. >> but this as we talked about this law went further than that. it wiped away the city of charlotte's ability to govern, to do some things on their own. for instance, they can't even have their own minimum wage now. why did you do that? you're a former mayor of charlotte. could you accept all these limitations that big state government has put on city and local control? >> i made a point when i was mayor of charlotte for 14 years we dealt with fire and police and airports and roads and light rail lines, we didn't impose new regulations on businesses. and i don't think the government ought to be the hr director for every business whether it be in charlotte or greensboro

north carolina is among them. the laws there force transgender people to use public restrooms matching the sex on their birth certificate. in response, cirque du soleil has joined a list of acts to cancel their performances in the state because of the law. for now, the national basketball association says it plans to play its all-star game in north carolina despite calls to relocate it. >> the law as it now stands in north carolina is problematic for the league. there was flow discussion of moving the all-star game. what the view in the room was, we should be working toward change in north carolina. the best role for the league to play here is through constructive engagement toward change, not setting deadlines, not making ultimatums, but working with the private sector and the government to affect change in north carolina. >> our national correspondent is with us live. paolo, you've been following the controversialing well. north carolina is not the only state. >> absolutely not. it seems to be this wave of debat

so grat lations, north carolina and mississippi. your republican governors and republican legislatures have now given your states a new global reputation that you didn't necessarily have before. >>> today the commissioner of the nba said that if north carolina's new discrimination law stays put, charlotte, north carolina, can likely say good-bye to next year's nba all-star game that comes after a string of other business and cultural decisions that have essentially orphaned those states because of these new laws. and all of these myriad forms of pressure do seem to be making at least north carolina conservatives a little antsy on this subject. the night before last conservative groups in support of north carolina's discrimination law, they sent out a pledge to state lawmakers asking the state legislators to sign a paper swearing that they would never repeal discrimination law and they promise never to pass any laws that would protect lgbt people from discrimination in the state of north carolina. lawmakers were supposed to sign and

not anymore for anybody logging in from north carolina. if you're logging in from charlotte or chapel hill, where are you? sad trombone. no porn for you. if you went to this site, instead of porn you got a message about north carolina being the land where homophobia is law. north carolina, stop your ho homophobic insanity. that happened today. i don't want to draw too strong a conclusion. i don't want to say he's changed his mind completely or north carolina's insanity has stopped but i will note that also today, the governor started to cave a little bit. 21 days and one porn mascot thing later, the governor began trying to undo the law he signed and defended until today. he put out executive orders that purport to soften the impact of the law. whether you see this as a change of heart by the north carolina governor or an attempt to not crash the state's economy while up for re-election. the harm to the state of north carolina because of this law it's been very, very front and center. that trouble might be visible next door in tennessee be

that's north carolina. now we can report here exclusively at least two federal agencies are looking to see if mississippi might be in violation. the house of development told us which are aware of the mississippi law and are reviewing it. we a also told a second agency the u.s. department of transportation is also reviewing mississippi's new law, if these federal aviation finds they are in discrimination, then mississippi, too, like north carolina, they could lose billions of federal dollars, which north carolina cannot afford, but which mississippi desperately cannot afford. yes, mississippi's republican governor continues to defend this new law. he signed as right and fair and constitutional and not discriminatory at all. laws have consequence, including consequences thatf goes might not have imagined. when they find these things. we hear back from more agencies. more of the federal government concerning mississippi or north carolina and how many billions of dollars they may be about to lose for their sta

(cheers and applause) first, i want to talk about north carolina. over the years, they have been known for their tobacco, barbecue and almost winning stuff. (laughter) last month, their governor mccrory signed legislation allowing discrimination based on sexuality. now time for the backlash. >> bruce sprinsteen is refunding concert tickets in protest of the north carolina law. canceled a sold out show in greensboro friday explaining on facebook some things are more important and the fight against prejudice and bigotry is one of them. >> trevor: few things more important than a rock show. this is bitter tweet for gay and transgender friends in north carolina. if they had tickets, they don't get to go -- this concert is one thing i have to look forward to while living here. this is great. more power houses are standing up against north carolina's law. you can feel the movement building. the movement may have just reached a climax. >> north carolina facing another boycott over a controversial new law and this one is unique. the porn site xhampster said

north carolina. he said this law if challenged, he will not defend it in court. you have volunteered to defend it for free, why? >> it's a common sense law and constitutional. first of all, there's no chance federal funltds will be taken from this particular state for this law. we have to go back and look what the law actually did. let's start with the charlotte ordinance. it did not regulate employment. in fact, the charlotte ordinance specifically says employment is a statewide issue. what it did was open up the men's and women's bathrooms to people of the opposite sex so men could use women's restrooms. >> let me stop you here, mat, and i don't make a habit of interrupting gefrts but in the discussion of transgender men and women, they are men and women. >> no, they're not. a man in this particular situation in the charlotte ordinance, a man who's biologically a man could use the women's shower room and locker rooms. in fact, sweerch this happen in other places. >> we're talking about the state la

so that is what has happened in north carolina. and a.l.e.c., which is the american legislative exchange council, is a very, very conservative group. they put out legislation called model legislation. i believe our state, north carolina, has passed more a.l.e.c. legislation in the country. you look at the voting id requirements, you know, the right to vote in north carolina now has all these things subjected to it. that's a.l.e.c. proposals. and those are the kinds of things that i think people have got to wake up to and realize. this is not what the majority wants. we now have so many gerrymandered congressional seats, more democrats voted in north carolina for congressional races, and yet we still have ten republicans and three democrats. and i think what that says to us is that we've got to look at a different way to take the politics out of these gerrymandered districts. i don't know what the number is, but there are so few contested congressional house races in this country because they're all gerrymandered. so those are thing

north carolina governor pat mccrory is here. first trace gallagher is here to explain what caused the uproar. trace? >> megyn, wihen the city of charlotte passed an ordinance allowing transgender to use the changing room and bathroom they identify with, the legislature controlled by republicans was called in special session and in one day hb-2 or the bathroom bill passed both houses and was signed by the governor. supporters of the law say it prevents men who may be sexual offenders from pretending to be a woman and entering a woman's restroom or changing room. opponents call hb-2 discriminatory saying there are no known instances of predators dressing up like women and committed sex crimes. so far, the state has taken a financial hit for the loss of conventions and concerts like bruce springsteen and pearl jam. others stars like jimmy buffet who opposes hb-2 decided to perform anyway. american airlines and bank of america want the law repealed and paypal even canceled a north carolina expansion project, although paypal makes no

and catching north carolina at a really good time. i would say that north carolina has a little more talent than villanova, but the way they have been imposing their will, the key of the game is whether they can stop the north carolina big men inside. but they deny the ball inside. you can't get the ball inside, pressuring the guards so well, they can't get it to the coast. >> and a lot of players said they did not realize they were up by 40 because they were so locked in, and i hope they stay that way one more day. and jeff skversky with them in houston as they get set for the biggest game of the lives. >> the road ends here for villanova in the final four national championship game tomorrow night against north carolina. the night before the biggest game of their lives, the wildcats are focus asked dialed in on beating one of the most historic programs in college basketball. >> you know, their resume speaks for themselves. they are one of the best programs in this country, so this will be, you know, an honor playing against them in t

both north carolina tarheels, 77-74. it's being hailed as one of the best championship games of all time. top-seeded north carolina. underdog. we thought the talk of the town would be marcus page's 3- pointer to tie the game. it's chris jenkins, 3-pointer at the buzzer. he played ball here at gonzaga. and this victory will always be remembered as one of the best games. beating north carolina meant beating his brother, nate brit. it was a bittersweet moment for the championship hero. >> it was a good game, a tough game. and unfortunately, one of us had to lose. i'm happy it was you. you know. but you know, i love my brother. and there's no one in the world i want to beat more than him. it was good to get that win. yeah. because he's the ultimate competitor. he wants to win at everything. i know that's burning him up aside. when i shot it, i kind of like thought it was short at first. then i realized that man, that might go in. so i gave it a little paul pierce look. and when it went in, i was like, man. and before i knew

one goes to north carolina, one goes to villanova. once they got to the final four they stopped talking to each other and it is going to be dragging rights for the end of time, unless they meet in an nba finals down the line somewhere. but kris jenkins got the better of his brother and the game-winning shot, 14 points. and none bigger than that at the end. >> they showed such poise and it comes down to two things, senior leadership and one jay wright. not a bad coach. >> not a bad coach. >> we want you to hear something that really will be fun. the villanova radio station. the student radio station that was broadcasting the game. and here is the call as the game was won. >> three seconds to go across the timeline. two seconds to go. jenkins three to win it, he made it! he made the three at the buzzer! cats win it all! 30 years later they are the king of basketball once again. >> i think we will pull that up again that couple of minutes, i have to hear it again, absolutely. as the crowd beats a speedy exit from the pavilion to get out

that's north carolina law. well, now we can report here, exclusively, that at least two federal agencies are also looking at mississippi's new discrimination law, to see if mississippi might also be in violation of federal nondiscrimination rules. the department of housing and urban development told us directly, quote, we are aware of the mississippi law and are reviewing it. we're also told that a second agency at the u.s. department of transportation is also reviewing mississippi's new law. if these federal agencies find that mississippi is in violation of federal non-discrimination policies, then mississippi, too, like north carolina, they could lose billions of federal dollars. which north carolina cannot afford, but which mississippi desperately cannot afford. and yes, mississippi's republican governor continues to defend this new law he just signed as right and fair and constitutional and not discrimina discriminatory at all, but laws have consequences and consequences that governors might not have imagin

components to the north carolina law. one is a common sense provision that would restrict men from accessing girls' locker rooms. it's for safety, privacy. security of women, children, and our men. we don't want to have to undress in front of someone who is the opposite biological sex. >> you brought that up. how is that going to be enforced. you have to go back to -- you can only use the birth bathroom that is of the sex that is on your birth certificate. >> these laws have been passed in other states to allow men to access the women's restroom. those laws are misused. and they violate the safety and security of people. we should have a reasonable expectation of privacy to go to undress in front of someone of the opposite biological sex. it's common sense. >> what's the answer to that, john? >> the idea that this is about safety and security,s the like when somebody says they ate all the ice cream in order to make room in the freezer. that's obvious it's not the real reason. this is about discrimination. particularly aga

the obvious obstacle for nova is the opponent north carolina. the wildcats and coach jay wright are also concerned with concentration. >> i'm proud of them, i really am. it's hard for me to keep focused and to watch 18 to 22-year-olds do this intelligently, it's really cool. we have to keep focus on this game and afterwards whatever happens we'll deal with. >> coach wright also told john clark of comcast sports net, you just saw it right there, north carolina is a huge road block to overcome. >> there's no team we played like this in the tournament. we played high-scoring teams like oklahoma and athletic teams like oklahoma. we haven't played a team with this size and length and depth. we have to play scrappy to combat their size. >> villanova's all-time tournament record against north carolina is a dismal 1-5. last time they lost to north carolina was the '09 final four. they lost by 15 points. but the lone victory in the tournament came during the cats title run in 1985. i'm smelling karma a little bit here. live in the digital operations cent

we're talking about access to bathrooms in north carolina. nothing i can do about. >> so let's talk about some of the issues of today. >> good. >> sound like a plan? sounds like a plan. what is going to happen from here? where we are in the race, we haven't talked to you in -- since -- we haven't talked to you in a little while and since the new york primary, ted cruz, he ended up in third. he's running, polling in third in many of the states at least that are going to be coming up next week. got donald trump supporters calling him mr. third place. >> mr. third place. >> what's going to happen? >> abe lincoln finished second and still won. so all i can tell you is donald trump says he's going to get 4 1,400 delegates. mr. trump, you better get 1,237 because if you get 1,236 you're in trouble. >> you're in trouble. you think if he's within 20 -- >> if he's within one. >> you don't think he can get enough unbound delegates, one unbound delegate from pennsylvania, one unbound delegate from the virgin islands to support him? >> maybe so, but i'm
