[laughter] >> much has been said about h.b. 2 in the selection season. also accessing restrooms under the law. perhaps the most controversial part is that it excludes old ddt people from the anti-discrimination law and prevents the government to pass any ordinances to protect them so i asked you not about the restroom provisions but the lack of protection, why was this necessary? mccrory: it was necessary because there was the bathroom provision. >> could it have then written without anti-discrimination quick. >> concept of gender identity which was a radical concept the left brought up the issue one of the great political scams of state and national history is the mayor of charlotte brought it to north carolina with the eighth jersey -- that they had to add a portion of the bill to have a gender identity your expression in order to get into a private sector locker room or shower . had that not been there we will not have had a problem. >> i have the of legislation here so reading about those that were projected idol see anything about the ilg bt communi

a requirement spanishve you have to set this up to say the governorship be defeated just by signing h.b. 2 visa. >> to guess on background that is much discussion this spring the city of of charlotte that there was transgendered rights provisions among others to give access to what course bonds with gender identity but the state legislature had a one day session to pass a law to return those coordinates and then to sit as individuals will not be required to go to the bathroom to correspond with their gender not necessarily gender identity it is then a member of legal filings it is now tied at in court but politically speaking what do we know? as we increase businesses and the atlantic's coast conference as we with droll various championship eventsit's the last development from the n.c.a.a. to withdraw the championship event to kick things into gear of those surveys recently do approve for disapprove disapproval was clearly a outpacing approval. so there is no surpriseic those democratic candidates are in the campaign ads that any of legislators that supported h.b. 2 and comes up with vi

. >> moderator: but the question was about h.b.1 visa.ay: it has to be done in a balanced way under the immigration system so that we take all parts of what we're doing to make sure it is fair and balanced. people are concerned about the h.b.1 visa system to bring people in mostly because they want to be sure that people in united states have access to jobs. we all do. we need to be educated and trained pretty can be done in conjunction with the h.b.1 visa program. >> moderator: san question do support raising the per country limitation? vance: h.b.1 visa this is been utilized for a long time by microsoft to get the workers who have high tech skills setter necessary but i have heard from a lot of tech workers in washington state that feel the program is used to bring in workers from overseas to lower their salaries and they are very concerned i am pro immigration reform that 2013 bill has all the elements that we need but there has to be at balance between protecting jobs and people. talking about immigration everybody understands what ha

the h.b. 2 as i talk with people around the state, they keep coming back that they don't want boys inls bathroom. other than that, repeal h.b. 2 and let's get on with a reasonable discussion, look at the bill and write something that takes more than one day to get through the legislature. >> mister mcrory, if you are reelected would you push to change house bill 2 to make it clear that lgbt people would be specifically protected under the states antidiscrimination law? >> i actually agree with that concept and i've been looking for a compromise for months on this issue but i'll make a deal with him right now. if you agree to take out this gender identity and gender expression regarding access to our school locker rooms, restrooms and showers, i will support a bipartisan effort to make sure we do not discriminate against the lgbt community and hiring or firing. i signed an executive order for all state employees which was buried in your newscast, was buried across north carolina news and a national newspaper which forbids discrimination and hiring and firing of anyone based on sexual o

i mean, as a teenager, i read a lot of h.b.o i wrote like that, in my 20s i read ross mcdonald and raymond chandler so i wrote like those guys. little by little, you develop your own style. >> brown: you describe the discipline, the place where you want to write, things like that? >> yeah, at least kind of self-hypnosis involved in it, too. if you start at the same time every day, most writers have little routines they go through. i like to always stop with a couple of pages that i haven't -- that are just raw copy, where i haven't touched it, i haven't tried to revise it, i haven't tried to polish it. it's like having a little bit of a runway. the next day when you sit down, you have the comfort of saying, well, i've got a little bit here, used to be in the type writer. now it's in the magic box, the computer. >> brown: so it's not an empty slate as you start the next day? >> a cold start is a hard start. (laughter) >> brown: let me ask you one more thing. can you imagine stopping writing, not writing? >> well, when people say

. >> host: let me turn to the topic of the h.b. 2 law that was passed. we up to previous caller what he thought the long-term might be especially in this election cycle. what is your take? >> guest: well it's been a disaster for republicans. it it's a classic political miscalculation. they created this issue. they call the special session of the legislature to pass it. nobody saw the bill before with pass. mccoy signed it the very same night and then people realizing what was then and we started having real economic damage. companies decided not to come here. a lot of companies that were looking at north carolina to locate here pulled away. north carolina's pride as well as its economy when we start losing the ncaa and we started losing acc basketball tournamens basketball was born in north carolina and it belongs in north carolina. we have to keep it here.li i think that vantage is really really -- damage is really severe and you see a lot of legislative candidates trying to back away from it. this whole thing about it was charlotte's fault, what charlo
