if apple does this for the u.s. government, what about the government of russia or the government of china? could they come in and say we want you to help us? greg: absolutely. cyrus: it will set a precedent. controlsnk if apple this particular situation, they can employ those same controls to russia, china, whatever country comes about and asks for a similar participation. i don't think apple should give blanket access. that sets a bad precedent. but i think apple should be directly involved in this process. emily: edward snowden has been chiming in on this all day, saying this is the most important tech case in a decade. silence means google has picked a side. but it is not the public's. greg, go ahead. what does this say about google? greg: i want to respond to the other point. the other point was, other governments are going to be demanding the same access the fbi is demanding for the iphone. the government of china passed a law that the president of the united states criticized, that would require tech companie

it is having reverberations that apple is doing more itself. carol: what is next for apple? adam: johny srouji is also in charge of batteries. we asked about when we would see batteries in an apple car, he laughed at the question. small things, they are considering wireless charging, thermal charging, so you would not have to plug your handset in to charge. there is a lot of speculation around virtual reality and other products that they could do. he keeps things close to the chest and will not let us in. carol: i guess he is out in the spotlight. we will hear more about him. adam, thank you. you can read about the story. coming up, the perils of political branding. remember the president touting the chevy volt? gm wishes you did not. ♪ carol: welcome back. politics and advertising -- wait, advertising and politics. it is hard to tell which comes first. tim joins us. what came first? political candidates or brands? tim: chicken or egg. we would have to advertise it. i do not know. you look at political campaigns and they are launching a product and you want to have attribu

ted olson, and he appeared on this week to discuss apple's position. >> we want and apple has helped this fbi in this investigation in every way the law required. what it has to draw the line at recreating code, changing its iphone, putting its engineers and creative talents to destroy the iphone as it exists, apple has a responsibility to maintain the trust and faith of millions of people to produce a product that protects their privacy, their intimate personal life. this is a pandora's box. >> would apple still be opposing this request? >> apple complies with the lawl olawand cooperates in every way possible. but george if you were asked and your network were asked to create a program to use your talents to ensnare a kidnapper a criminal a money launderer or a terrorist you would have the responsibility to russia tha re. >> you served as an intelligence officer in the israel defense forces, your perspective will be great and patrick, good to have you with us as well. mattie, this whole issue, raises so many issues, what do you think is the main convention for apple? can you break i

boycott apple. tim cook is doing a number to show how liberal he is. apple should give up, boycott apple until such time they give that information. i think that's a great idea. deirdre: first the pope, now apple. gop candidate donald trump taking on the company just a few moments ago, suggesting a boycott. this is "risk & reward." i'm deirdre bolton. we're in the last 24 hours before the republican south carolina primary and the nevada caucuses. from the silver state to the palmetto state, new york and d.c. we have issues covered for you with our political a-team. we will take you first to charleston, south carolina. connell mcshane is there. connell, are donald trump's controversial comments catching up with him? looks like much tighter race between him and senator cruz, right? >> really depends on what poll you look at, deirdre, to be honest with you. you're right, w -- "wall street journal/nbc" poll. is it really that close? we won't know until tomorrow. all the other polls have larger lead. not

and changing the apple i.d. on the phone, saying once apple could help, it was too late. here's pierre thomas. >> reporter: tonight, the justice department turning up the heat on apple, calling on a federal judge to compel the tech giant to hack into syed farook's iphone. the potential legal threat, that a federal court could hold apple in contempt and issue hefty fines against the company if it does not comply. the fbi says opening farook's phone is urgent because it could hold critical clues about the san bernardino massacre, including whether others were involved. but senior apple executives suggested the government's filing has no legal merit and could set a dangerous precedent. tonight, those senior executives saying they plan to fight, master key that could unlock millions of apple phones. the net effect, they say, of a nuclear bomb for software, making customers vulnerable to hacking. apple says if it complies, requests from law enforcement could come with another phone an hour later, opening a pandora's box. they pointed to a manhattan district attorney who says h

apple's c.e.o. tim cook talked about this issue in an interview last fall for "60 minutes" and this show. >> here's the situation. on your smartphone today, your iphone, there is likely health information, there is financial information, there are intimate conversations with your family or your co-workers. there is probably business secrets from the work that you're doing. there is also tracks of what you searched on, lots of information about what you're looking at and writing. maybe you're a journalist and maybe even your sources, right? >> rose: sure. all this stuff is incredibly personal and we believe incredibly private and you should have the ability to protect it. and the only way we know how to do that is to encrypt it. why is that? it's because, if there is a way to get in, then somebody will find a way in. there have been people that suggest that we should have a backdoor. but the reality is, if you put a backdoor in, that backdoor is for everybody, good guys and bad guys. so we don't know

speaking of apple, samsung scoring a legal win over apple. samsung did not infringe on several iphone features and will not have to pay $120 million in damages. they did say apple is liable for infringing on one of samsung's patents. ising up, when nintendo slashing revenue estimates, what is next for the japanese game maker? cory: the irs says taxpayers have been hit with twice as many cyber criminals as in the past. 724 thousand people. another 300,000 were targeted but hackers could not get access to their files. the irs is moving aggressively to protect taxpayers in the future. let's move back to our top story. i showdown between apple and the u.s. government over privacy. apple says they are working to make encryption stronger, re.haps with a key hi he happened to be the lead developer of edward called leadp signal. pentagonave a former policy advisor. core os team do? >> he is joining the core os security team. he is working on the security aspects of the core operating system of -- cory: is that the same thing that takes my thumbprint

what should apple do? >> just opennen that asshole's phone. i mean, seriously, apple. wow, i didn't know you'd have such a strong feeling about this. >> by the way, would you like me to continue your google search of "backdoor access?" >> no no no. that's unnecessary. please erase my search history, siri. thank you very much. thank you. ( cheers and applause ) now, the case seems pretty simple when you're just focusing on one phone. that's what the government keeps saying-- we just want to unlock this one phone. but it's not entirely the whole story. the government is trying to get into at least 12 other phones, and they're not all high- profile terrorism cases. one request would allow the government to search the phone of a guy who's suspected of possessing meth. government, you're wasting your time there. i can tell you what's on that meth-head's phone-- a google search for "how much is a washing machine door worth at a pawn shop," directions to the junkyard at the edge of town, and an e-prescription for super-gonorrhea. that's pretty much what's gonna be there. it's

would apple propose the request. >> apple complies with the law and cooperates. if you were asked or your network were asked to create a programme, a programme to use your talent to ensnare a kidnapper, money launderer and terrorist. you would have your responsibility unless and until there's legal authority to do that. >> joining me in the studio is matty kahn. he's the c.e.o. of info tech. and served at an intelligent officer. and joining us from washington d.c. is patrick tucker. good to have you with us as well. let me start with you. this whole issues raises so many questions. what do you think is the main contention in this case for apple? can you break it down for us. what are they concerned about? >> fix the issue itself breaks to three categories. we have a security issue, and a trust issue. and the technology issue the question is it right to ask apple to right a deciption for their own encryption for the customers. on security, we talk about national security. are we right to hold back information from our - from the f.b.i. from n.s.a. from the police

apple should get the security. emily: trump was treating from an iphone shortly after he made those comments. big number, probably to show how liberal he is. you can see he was using an iphone. he caught wind of the iron he both anaying i use iphone and samsung. if apple does not give the information to authorities, i will be using samsung. this did not come in iphone -- thish did not come from an iphone. e said, -- this did not come from an iphone. michael, how does this play out? apple has two incredibly high profile lawyers, the same guy who represented bush in birth -- bush versus gore. where does this go from here? apple is in a tough spot and they are making a real stand in terms of privacy and the way technology is going, but effectively if they're able to do this, the judge has said, you need to help the fbi with this investigation. if they're able to do this, they have to make a complicated argument that doing it is going beyond what they just are not capable of, they have to create creating this new firmw

but in silicon valley most of the tech companies have backed be apple, an advocacy group says apple's right, the government's wrong. >> it's about right, that nobody expects a nuclear terrorist investigation to be stymied by technology companies in a scenario. at the same time, we can imagine that petty infidelity, petty drug dealing, petty small crimes investigations from local law enforcement maybe should not get the same level of back door or investigative purview or access or priority as a very important national matter should and will. so look, i believe that we also have to remember that it is very, very possible that the intelligence services of the word that counts including in the most complicated environments like china, could well have already done this crack themselves. okay this is not some magical crack, it is a very difficult one but it is definitely feasible. if it's feasible we can imagine apple saying we won't do it customers, we stand with you. if you look at the behavior and take the temperature down as we should when we are looking at headlines and hotly contested

apple doesn't have it. they can sit down and build it. it will be complex, it will be a burden, but they can do it. the thing that tim cook is saying, if the f.b.i. can compel me to build software that basically opens up phones of my customers, they won't stop with the this one. >> rose: stopping there would be naive. apple says we can build software to open a phone up. f.b.i. says, okay, open this phone up with the software you build but then destroy the software. we're not asking you to do anything else with it, we just wanted access to this one phone. i'm keeping over here for a moment the idea someone else may come and say, ah-ha, i know you destroyed that but do it for us because we have a case of a mass murderer and if we can get inside his phone, it will tell us stuff about what he did. >> right and the perhaps more scary wrinkle is they open up the phone, say we have a case and real probable cause and a very scary thing going on, what we needed to do is turn on cameras on every laptop out there, or on every phone or -- >> rose: th

(knock on door) may i come in? hello, carol. please come in. we were just talking about your charming husband, what a nice fellow he is. and what a pleasant neighbor. and he steals apples. oh, roger, i can't tell you how embarrassed i am. for once, i'm going to be firm. i am not going to forgive wilbur so easily this time. buddy-boy, you may lose your wife, but you've always got me. that's what i'm afraid of. all right, now, ed, please be quiet, huh? - ladies and gentlemen, - all right. you will now see with your own eyes why margie is known as the world's most intelligent animal. he should live so long. now, margie, tell the ladies and gentlemen how old you are. 1...2... - 3...4. - (applause) why, she's 60 if she's a day. yeah, well, you make as much money as she does, - then you can talk.

amy: apple vs. the fbi. a major debate over privacy and online encryption erupts after apple announces it will fight a the fbi breaking into the iphone owned by one of the san bernardino shooters. edward snowden has called this the most important tech case in a decade. if apple gives the fbi a way to access user data, who else could use the backdoor to hack into your phone? we will speak to the aclu's alex abdo. then to utah. >> your great-granddaughter, your great-granddaughter, your great-granddaughter. your great-granddaughter. your great-granddaughter. your great-granddaughter. amy: more than 100 protesters disrupt a federal auction of oil and gas leases spontaneously bursting into song until they were forced to leave. one activist, the famous author terry tempest williams registered as bidder 19, , successfully bidding on 1750 acres of land to spare it from fossil fuel extraction. she will join us from salt lake. then will south dakota become , the first state to ban transgender students from using bath

charles: donald trump is talking about apple. >> i said at my last speech, i said apple computer, apple, boycott apple. we want the secrets. they don't want to open up the phones. give me a break. why wouldn't they want to do it? they don't want to open up the phone. it's owned by the government. government is owned by government. what are they doing? open up the phones. we have to be smart. we have to look and see what's going on. let anding open up the phones so that we find out where these threats are coming from. and i said boycott apple until they do it. boycott them, who cares. we have to be smart, we have to be vigilant. there are so many enemies out there. we have to be so smart, so vigilant. i will say this. so the new hampshire experience to me was an amazing experience. but what was their big problem? i go in, their big problem heroin, drugs. new hampshire the most beautiful place, the greatest people. these people are great. every place they are great. you are great, they are great. no matter where you go. the people of this country are unbelievable people. the potential of

you think apple is in the right. apple should resist the order. it would set a precedent. it would mean the fbi could demand that apple unlock any phone, no matter what operating system. it would go to apple and say, if you can give us access to phones, how about computers and other providers and demand the same thing. there is a lot at stake. could present a precedent. particularly if it moves higher in the courts. emily: you disagree. >> apple should participate in a controlled way. i don't agree with giving blanket access to the technology . i do believe that given these situations, apple should participate in the process. that would require the government to change their rules as it relates to how they investigate situations and who is involved. and notould be involved have to be compelled to give up the keys to the kingdom. emily: this debate has been going on a long time. since the revelations of edward trying to rebuild trust between washington and silicon valley and get these technology companies to help the government more. take a listen to what he had to say on "

because it might harm our company, what would apple think? apple has to comply with the law. broader than that, i think silicon valley has to understand we're concerned about privacy. when the federal government, fbi goes out to get a court approved warrant because they believe that there is an imminent threat of a terrorist carrying out an attack against americans, that they have got to comply with that warrant. deirdre: so, governor, let me ask you when you say complying g with the laws, maybe there needs a new law, that a law could be passed specific to these kind of situations. >> right. deirdre: apple doesn't feel like it is betraying it is customer base. >> right. deirdre: or doesn't feel like it is creating dangerous precedent to be used in sillier instances like divorce case. i'm totally making that up. >> totally understand. apple is right to be concerned about the privacy of its users but not in the face of court order. not apple's decision that there has to be different law. deirdre: i heard. >> you if the court says directs you to do it, you have to do it. not bec

emily: you worked at apple, it feels like apple, was apple an option? tony: we considered all possible acquisition targets. through that, they were on the you list. and at the end of the day, been you there done that, google has massive computing power and research around where we are headed. it is a huge part of server technology and software that we need to pull it off. emily: you continue to run nest in my as a semi-independent company. how has your role changed? how have the goals of nest changed since this transition? tony: faster. more. we laid out a 2-3 year roadmap. larry says implement it as fast as you can. i'm not going to go changing it. we believe in this, go. emily: how do you decide what the next new product will ultimately be? tony: sure. first, every day we run into frustrations, things around the home, why is it that way? the next piece is, hey, why don't you guys make your roadmap and i will make my roadmap, so we have 5-10 different groups that are making roadmaps, and then we compare notes. emily: would you say you're working on 10

apple is not even willing to do that. >> apple does not have the phone. the phone is in the possession of the fbi. it is the f ei. >> you think that it is perfectly fine for apple to create something that would eat entirely beyond the law. >> why is it beyond the law. making communication between human beings private? trish: think about it. any time law-enforcement can go and get in order and then they can go into a home, they can steal your diary. they can steal your computer. you have private information. that is if -- that is available for law enforcement. you are creating a privacy. it just does not exist in society right now. >> is this what you want? >> i have been in this business my entire life. terrorists and murderers. it is what you are doing. trish: you said that we could pack into any phone right now. >> it is one thing to grant the phone and to hack into it which takes weeks. it is another to have a key that says i can crack into any phone in the world. we are making ourselves vulnerable. >> i am out of time. this is a very important discuss

needs apple. they are using a law "all writs act" from 1789 actually signed by george washington when he came into office so this is a time when the hottest technology was wooden teeth and apple is not buying into it. >> apple says the government is asking it to great create a so-called backdoor to undermine decades of security and put everyone's phone at risk. >> if a court can ask us to write this piece of software, think about what else they could ask us to write. i mean, i don't know where this stops. >> trevor: apple has a point because it's easy for the f.b.i. to say, we're only going to use the backdoor once. it's a special occasion. but... (laughter) apple knows that once it lets the f.b.i. use the backdoor, then they'll just start expecting it. they'll think it's normal. they'll be like why do it any other way? (laughter) but f.b.i. supporters are saying this -- >> we're talking about one phone, one terrorist, one valid search warrant. >> trevor: exactly. one time only. hard to understand

you've invite med to apple before. the stories are legendary about new products with black drapery over them, locked doors, secrecy. any american company can keep a secret, it's apple. to those who might say, why didn't the fbi and apple team up far earlier in one of those secret labs and get this done and no one would have had to know about it? >> i can't talk about the tactics of the fbi. they've chosen what they've done. they've chosen to do this out in the public. for whatever reasons that they have. what we think at this point, given it is out in the public, is that we need to stand tall and stand tall on principle. there's probably more information about you on your phone than there is in your house. our smartphones are loaded with our intimate conversations, our financial data, our health records. they're also loaded with the location of our kids, in many cases. so it's not just about privacy, but it's also about public safety. >> if you didn't think this would set a precedent, if you didn't believe this would b

powerfulg is a statement of apple's point. they said the demand by the government compels apple to create a new operating system, effectively a backdoor to the iphone that apple believes is too dangerous to build. it's ae is really saying fundamental change in what they're offering to customers and the government knows this but wants to use this case of terrorism to inspire the courts and the public to adapt to this change. throughout this document they customer information, personal, private information. cookame quote that tim used last night, the information about where your children are and certainly about privacy. about whatand talk it means for the implications of how their business works. it is certainly a business issue. apple wants customers to trust that your information is secret and they think that their sales could be hurt if secrecy is in doubt. alix: what does it mean for other tech companies? >> twitter may be doing that and will look for other companies. we will have the former ceo of yahoo! on bloomberg west t

it is having reverberations that apple is doing more itself. carol: what is next for apple? adam: johny srouji is also in charge of batteries. we asked about when we would see batteries in an apple car, he laughed at the question. small things, they are considering wireless charging, thermal charging, so you would not have to plug your handset in to charge. there is a lot of speculation around virtual reality and other products that they could do. he keeps things close to the chest and will not let us in. carol: i guess he is out in the spotlight. we will hear more about him. adam, thank you. you can read about the story. coming up, the perils of political branding. remember the president touting the chevy volt? gm wishes you did not. ♪ carol: welcome back. politics and advertising -- wait, advertising and politics. it is hard to tell which comes first. tim joins us. what came first? political candidates or brands? tim: chicken or egg. we would have to advertise it. i do not know. you look at political campaigns and they are launching a product and you want to have attribu

you really just have to ask apple. he himself sort of held back there the opportunity to go after apple the way the government had gone after them last week. so an interesting evolving debate here. >> yeah. a very interesting tone as well. thanks so much for that. as aman said 24 hours remain for apple to respond to that court order. tim cook took to abc to explain why he is concerned. take a listen to that. >> we had no more information. the only way to get information at least currently the only way we know would be to write a piece of software that we view as sort of the software equivalent. we think it's bad news to write it and we have never written it and that is what is at stake here. >> joining us, former fbi assistant special agent in charge of cyber, now with the corporate investigations and cyber security, defense firm k-2 intelligence. it's great to have you, good morning. i know you're not on the team here advising the tone of what comey should take but did this seem like a step away from the clash we have

and so apple kind of shifted. and with regard to those phones, this is the manhattan d.a., cyrus vance jr., has talked about these phones, but he has not pointed out how it has actually thwarted an investigation not to get whatever is on those phones. that's i think another important point here. we don't know if whatever is on those phones would be helpful or not. >> i was reading that police are often very happy to find a cell phone on a crime scene. so they are used to getting information from phones. what kinds of information did they used to get from phones that weren't this type of iphone? >> well, think about it. what we do on our phones. in 2014 the supreme court held in kelly versus california, they actually found that phones today are nots the same as phones used to be. they saw that what we have on a phone now is where we are, our health information, banking. if you want to find out a lot about someone, if you've got -- i'm like a -- i carry my phone around with me everywhere. it can tell you where i've

i think there is a very good argument to be made by apple that the reason people buy the apple telephone is because of security and once apple creates this back door, if anyone is able to get in through that back door, why buy an apple telephone. >> if people want to do harm to this country are going to use encryption whether they use an iphone or not. they're not relying on apple's default encryption. there are lots of tools out there. you are going to use them. two things you've really got to keep in mind is that the f.b.i. tried to get legislation for a back door. they have been trying to do this for at least the last two years. the administration and congress listened to every tech person on the planet who says if you build a back door for the f.b.i., you build one for everybody. they listened to americans saying they didn't want these and didn't want insecure inter nets >> if i'm the ceo of apple and there is another domestic spate of terrorism like we saw in san bernardino and we ultimately find out that the information on that terrorist's telephone could have saved hundreds of liv

carol: very apple-like. adam: we traveled around. , whereed us to cupertino they have some labs that they are doing some tests on two designs of the future. there is a lot of equipment in there. n ices about the size of a hockey zamboni, where they run simulations to test a future chip. in the next room, another is simulating an ios software design that is putting the chip through its paces. it is a three to four year lead up process. that is what it takes to get a chip from the beginning to the end and into the customer's hand. carol: what do other folks say, specifically? is this something that intel has to be worried? does samsung need to be worried? apple works with samsung on chips. adam: it is an important distinction. it contracts with companies like samsung and a company in taiwan that will manufacture the chips to their specs. to a certain extent what apple , is doing is bad for traditional chip companies like intel. if apple is doing this themselves, that is one customer intel cannot sell to. intel
