they have no civil rights protections except, as i said before, in phoenix, tucson and flagstaff.nd that. >> okay, gene. i have to think, i have to think, first of all can we get along with fewer laws and regulations in life. if you're caterer and you don't want to do this kind of wedding ceremony, go to another caterer or say i'm not really happy you. don't want the band playing at your wedding that doesn't like you. you don't want the cater serving you who doesn't like you. but anyway, the rights are rights. and my question is this something just to throw it at the gay community? is this just some nasty shot, we don't like you? >> it sounds like exactly that. you know, look, these cities have ordinances they have chosen, their citizens have chosen to protect lgbt rights, and this is the state saying, no you can't do that. you can't have laws discriminating against these people because we want you to be able to discriminate against them. it's making a point. but it seems to me that, you know, this is about public accommodations. and one wonders if this would pass constitutional m

hot, dry weather is the stuff of legend in the sprawling metropolis of phoenix, arizona. here in the valley of the sun, summer temperatures can exceed 100 degrees for weeks on end. being surrounded by desert only makes things hotter. on july 5th, 2011, the combination results in a spectacular phenomenon that fills the sky. >> the storm spanned from one side of the horizon to the other. >> this time lapse must be seen to be believed. the storm is called a haboob. >> an arabic term and it means wind. we generally just use the word dust storm. >> the wind from a dying summer thunderstorm kicks up enough dust to produce a dense, massive wall, advancing towards the city. while some take cover, videographer blain sees this storm as a perfect photo op. >> get your camera, i don't care what you're doing. get out to the nearest hill you can. as soon as i got to the nearest intersection, i saw it coming. >> this one is special. >> it was extensive in both how big it was, it stretched for more than 90 miles. it was more than a mile high, according to some reports, but it was an incr

the phoenix suns and the wnba phoenix mercury released a statement, "the phoenix suns and mercury are proud members of this community and we embrace fans, families, and businesses of every stripe. we cannot support anything that is not in the line with that philosophy." since you're on the ground, mike, i'm curious, are we hearing more talk about the money impact of this? as we know, they say money talks and the rest of it walks here. we see this economic pressure that is a cloud over this governor's head and she says she wants to do what's right for arizona. >> absolutely. it's a cloud, and it is a huge cloud. you're talking about an avalanche of opinion all cutting one way right now, as the governor's just returned to her home state here, the state she runs. she's hearing not just from the corporations, but people who know the institutional history of this state. don't forget, they lost a super bowl back in the '80s when the legislature and politicians, including then-congressman john mccain objected to an idea of a national holiday to martin luther king. super bowl is worth, what,

a political reporter for kpnx tv in phoenix and a columnist with "the washington post."ou so much for joining us. i guess when we try to figure this out from a distance, my question is what is the intention, i mean, really, what's the intention of this law? >> the specific intention of this law is to basically eliminate an anti-discrimination law here in phoenix that protects the lgbt community. the sponsor of this bill in the legislature last year lost a bitter fight to prevent phoenix from passing that civil rights ordinance. she came back almost the very next day at the legislature with a bill similar to the one we're talking about right now. it did pass last year. governor brewer vetoed it. mainly because she was in a fight with the legislature over something else, the medicaid expansion. kathy hera, the woman behind the bill brought it back again this year. it passed locally. but you have to see it locally. it really is all about getting around ordinances in phoenix, tucson and flagstaff, our largest cities. >> what is this about? you can put a sign up in a bar, thi

. >>> phoenix veterans in need are all coming together. annual event has government and community organizations all in one place. they are offering everything from medical services to haircuts. what is this event all about? >> reporter: well, del, this really is a one-stop shop for those veterans who are homeless or at risk, because they have all the of the services under one roof here. it is the largest standown in the country. we're expecting 1500 veterans coming through these doors already. this gives you a sense of all of the services they have here. we have a box full of clothes that veterans can go through. all of the tables back here are the benefits. veterans can get their social security benefits, check on their medical benefits, and they have showers and beds set up here. this is an annual event, but this year they are marking a very special milestone. the city of phoenix has become the first city in the country to end chronic homelessness among veterans. all 222 veterans have permanent housing as of today. i want to bring in jam

>> the phoenix sun and the phoenix mercury both came out condemning senate bill 1062 and they wanted to see a veto clearly. >> so going forward peter do you think sports will be even more inclined to come to arizona, is that the hope of the state at this point? >> i think the hope, although there will still be a bit of a hangover with this. we started spring training baseball, we have nascar rating, and we can't afford to have that kind of interruption in tourism industry. >> and concerts, no? >> during the mlk controversy we did lose some concerts and also with the sb 1070 the immigration bill we lost concerts for that as well. >> peter corbett, sports business reporter for the arizona republic, thanks so much for the insight. >> you're welcome michael. >> opponents for the bill 1072, brought up the buying community as the reason for the governor to veto that bill. the league is starting to see some of those financial benefits. the brooklyn nets 98 jersey, collins, wears number 98 as a tribute to matthew shepherd, the gay student beaten to death. he will wear that jersey tonight in

reporting live from phoenix. joining me now, a lawyer with an organization that testified before members of the arizona state legislature, and he supports the bill, and paul, a cnn legal analyst. let me start with you, paul. the first thing to do would be to explain why you think it's right and fair that if -- let's just say a gay couple walks into a restaurant, and assume for a second that you are able to determine from how they act that they are gay, why it's okay to tell them they can't eat there? >> well, erin, this nation has had a long-standing history for letting people freely live out their faith in private and in business. this bill does two things, it protects liberties. if they are concerned about discrimination, it protects people of faith from discrimination. this bill has nothing to do with serving people in restaurants. >> but i am trying to understand, because if you are trying to cite religion to be consistent, wouldn't you say you are a restaurant owner and i walk in with a man, and you happen t

i was down se survivors outreach services program here in phoenix.e would say the flag is presented, taps are played, after the sound of the last note, we kind of forget about what happened. survivors are no longer considered. so we put this together and the idea came about having a bear made with clothing of the individual we honored. >> such an amazing idea because it's something the families can hold onto. that's where i want to bring in phyllis. phyllis, you just lost your son nine months ago. our hearts do out to you and we're so sorry for your loss. >> thank you. >> i can't imagine to feel like to know this bear you hold in your hands is the actual clothing of your son. >> yes. it means a lot to me because after we lost our son, his personal effects starting arriving, so we have trunks of his uniforms and didn't know what to do with them but didn't want to give them away because they belonged to him. when i was approached in phoenix that charles established this organization where they would make a bearing out of my son's old uniforms, i jumped

into the market i think we actually even have some graphs on that they're not you know it's either phoenix or las vegas we can put that out there that out we can show that some of us you know what we see here i think this is this is the one for phoenix or it's the overall market you can see that those are all ok of cash investors was increasing as we had the increase how we have drugs as well as very ones that are you see that. here's the interesting thing. is you can see it's all up except the part at the bottom is showing that even though vegas is still going up and we see big it's a sort of a harbinger of what happened elsewhere because they lead in terms of the way down and then leading the way up the cash buyers are now increasing and. so people are starting to get out the cast by smart money you know our money is getting out of the market and yet we still see that things are going up so the question is is this a harbinger of you know the market softening somewhat not necessarily the market going down but the home price appreciation softening so when you look back at what dean baker w

first of all i want to thank you for all of your support when you were with the phoenix police and also. but where does it say in the constitution that judges can tell an elected sheriff how many people to hire, and i have to give speeches? that doesn't come under courts. but this is something i will be appealing all the way to the supreme court, and we know how to run our organization. we have monitors. they ought to be coming to us for training, asking us how we do things. but it looks like it is the other way around. that's okay. >> our system of democracy is based on a system of checks and balances. who checks you? >> who checks me? >> yeah. >> i think the people check me by hiring me every four years. they are my bosses. they don't like me, get rid of me. fire me. that's my check and balance. but we have a judicial system. i respect the judicial system. i have been with the federal government for 30 years, sacrificing my time and life with the department of justice, and now they turn on me, just because i'm trying to do my job as sheriff? that's not fair. >> sheriff we have our com
