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

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

the university of north carolina will play villanova for the title tomorrow night. neither of them got into much trouble in the final four. if you missed it, villanova dominated oklahoma, winning by 44 points. in the second game, unc stamped out underdog syracuse. the one consolation for the orange, a post-game visit from vice president joe biden, a syracuse law school alum. >> and on the bay bridge in san francisco this morning, a not so high speed pursuit. california highway patrol officers stopped traffic. you see this? to catch a chihuahua on the run. and in case you were wondering, we checked. in california, you can get a year in jail for evading a police officer. but good luck finding a jury willing to convict a face like that. they're still looking for the dog's owner by the way. >>> when we come back, a war time relic is back where it belongs, with the family of the soldier who wore it on the battlefield. >>> finally tonight, she said good-bye to her brother for the last time more than 70 years ago. now so many decades after he was killed in world war ii, a

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

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

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

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, what they're going through with all the business that's leaving, all of the strife -- and this is on both sides. leave it the way it is. there have been very few complaints the way it is. people go. they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. there has been so little trouble. and the problem with what happened in north carolina is the strife and the economic -- i mean, the economic punishment that they're taking. >> do you have any transgender people working in your organization? >> i don't know. >> no? >> i really don't know. >> if caitlyn jenner were to walk into trump tower and wanted to use the bathroom, you would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses? >> that is correct. >> different issue -- >> you know, there's a big move to create new bathrooms. problem with that is for transgender, that would be -- first of all, i think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. that would be unbelievably

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
