today, in arkansas, asa hutchison changed his mind. he said he will not sign it after all. he wants the language in the arkansas bill either recalled all together or wants it amended to make the bill less like what just happened in indiana, and more like the garden variety, noncontroversial religious freedom bills that have been passed for decades, because they weren't discrimination bills like the one just signed in indiana. asa hutchison explained his about-face today by citing a personal communication from his own son. >> my son, seth, signed the petition asking me, dad, the governor, to veto this bill. and he gave me permission to make that reference. and it shows that families, and there's a generational difference of opinion on these issues. >> governor asa hutchinson was also urged to veto the bill. not just by his son, but by a little company you might have heard of called walmart. which is headquartered in arkansas. which is so big, it could eat the state of arkansas in one bite if it ever chose to. also lobbied to make this decision that he made today by the mayor

what was it about this particular situation that made asa hutchison take a second look?t it seemed certainly to the public they were responding to the uproar over what was going on in indiana. they sort of got caught on the coat tails of that. there are states that have religious freedom laws in one form or another. some of them are similar to what indiana and arkansas are doing. this isn't the kind of moment in time history, where people are saying even if we agreed to this before we don't really agree with it anymore. >> do you think some of the laws that have been passed like the once i just referenced in arkansas, do you think there will be a re-examining of those as well. >> i would be surprised if arkansas gets rid of that law. i do think there is an increasing number of people that are looking at this and saying we should sort of have protections for people. it's not that bad of a thing. you know making sure that people are not discriminated against is a goal. >> one of the most interesting parts is that a lot of corporations like to say, not exactly true they'd s

how could aicha hutchison go against that?with washington, d.c., how shocked are you saw people in the span of 7 days sit in their positions to completely reversing and getting it done in the legislature all within a week? >> i'm not that surprised because this is how this issue is moving. gloria is right on the business thing. i mean, this is the, you cannot go against the business economic interest of your state here. that is simply a stupid thing to do. they realize that. so this is the first clash we're really seeing of the main street wing of the republican party, if you will. the chamber of commerce and the social conservative in this presidential campaign. frankly, it's bad for business and it will be bad for donors too. it's good at this point of the campaign to sort of reach out to those voters, but if ted cruz is going to try to get big dollar donors, that's going to be difficult. but everything moved so quickly this week. you're so right about that, but it's an image of how fast it's moved overall. in 2004, we didn'

i think that asa hutchison did a very smart thing, and mike pence can't seem to find the thing with both hands. when you're on the wrong side of a human rights issue from walmart and nascar you really have to wonder how far from the pack you've strayed. >> jay what do you think of that, and the idea that whether it's walmart, the biggest company around which has plenty of practices that are controversial in their own right, to small businesses this stuff doesn't fly anymore. this is seen as a baseline don't discriminate and don't tell us around the country it's just for free religion that people can't follow what's really going on. >> well and while this bill protected religious freedoms for all our kansans, it was interpreted as a bill that an arkansasan can use. >> do they think this is a chance to plan a flag and establish themselves in a positive light? >> you know i think this is a chance for our arkansas businesses to plant that flag and establish themselves in a popular light, simply because businesses are made up of individuals. individuals want to live work play and learn in a c
