holds. people change and you re talking a law that was signed in the 90s, then state senator obama supported the law. the contexts are different because illinois for example, has legal same sex marriage. indiana, arkansas do not. second of all, as you point out, these laws are drafted differently. i don t want to bore the viewers with all the details, but one of them has to do with whether or not it s religious rights of individual versus business. another has to do with whether or not the government has to be part of this dispute. is the government telling you to do something? that s the law clinton signed. this has to do with two individuals, doesn t necessarily have a government playing a role. hearing from people in governor hutchinson s office in arkansas apparently he was scheduled to sign it this morning. he was going to sign it. i wonder if everything in
does et cetera. legal analysts say it opens the door to that. you have people talking about boycotting instilling boycotts in the state of indiana. why would arkansas want to open themselves up to the same thing? right. i think it s interesting, and i wanted your take on this as well. i was wondering yesterday. you have the talking points for some supporters of the law in indiana harkening back to bill clinton and barack obama then senator when they signed this in illinois. obviously there are differences in the laws. i find it interesting because republicans normally want to tear people down. in this instance they re using it to say if bill clinton and barack obama signed this what about that? it s a fair point. bill clinton signed the defensive marriage act into law he s now repute yated that. barack obama held a position on same sex marriage he no longer
indiana made him stop and think, maybe i ll tweak it a bit and make it look federal law. you have to remember, no one holds anyone more responsible for the economy of the state than the governor. in six days we ll be talking about something else. the economy of arkansas is always going to be what governor hutchinson is judged on. if all of a sudden there are big boycotts i m not saying anybody has proposed this but if wal-mart announced they re moving headquarters out of bentonville. that s not on the table. hutchinson would be held responsible. nobody would be talking about this law and this moment. they d be talking about oh my god we re losing jobs. that s the bottom line. coming full circle when it pertains to jobs economy and the governor. see you at the top of the hour sir. all right. thank you brooke. in indiana, on that
away a little store down the road you ve heard of it wal-mart. in the state of indiana, i want to bring in host of the league jake tapper. to talk about what we ve seen in arkansas and indiana. i was talking to a state rap in arkansas a little while ago. she said it s hard to imagine the biggest retailer wal-mart biggest employer in the united states of america. when they say you need to make a change. maybe that s what made the governor listen. look there are a lot of times social conservatives and fiscal conservatives differ. you see it in immigration reform all the time and see it here with this law. fiscal conservatives, many of them business conservatives want to make money. it doesn t make sense for them to be telling people in any way intentional or not, our state stands for discrimination. some say that s not what the law
government officials say iraqi security forces senior commanders say, they cannot necessarily control. that is why there s such concern that moving forward when the city is trying to be secure when this force moves to other parts of the country, this could have even more greater sectarian dynamic to it than exists. it s phenomenal you and our crew were able to get in. to wouryour point, knowing the geography, this is on the road to mosul. thank you so much in baghdad now. appreciate it very much. next another religious freedom bill in arkansas getting response. it s not just protestors. wal-mart is speaking out against the proposal. one man saw the law a tad differently and starting the first church of cannabis. the so called minister of love joins me live straight ahead.
