i'm quoting from tim cook. while we believe the fbi's intentions are good, it would be wrong for the government to force us to build a back door into our products and this would underman the very freedoms our government is to protect. he points out he has cooperated with the fbi in then san bernardino investigation when it comments comes to data already in the fbi's investigation and providing expert advice. bob redell, today in the bay. >> this fight just getting started. thank you. >> it has you saying tim cook is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. >> exactly. i want to take you back a couple months ago, not a surprise. stanford university, tim cook invited to a cybersecurity summit by president obama himself. he stands up there in front of the crowd and makes his first major statement the secrets on our iphone are our secrets and not the government. apple does not know what's on our phones and cannot figure out what's on our phones and will not build something to break into those phones. you have

tim cook: "this would be bad for america. it would also set a precedent that i believe many people in america would be offended by." but in the name of public safety.. attorney general loretta lynch... is urging apple to comply. loretta lynch: "judges all over the country and on the supreme court have said that those parties must assist if it is reasonably a judge in california ordered apple to unlock san bernardino i-phone and apple has happening insisting -- at stake is the data security of millions of law abiding people.. "hands off our phones!" tim cook: "some things are hard and some things are right. and this is one of those things." apple has until friday to file a response to the judge's order and some legal experts say this is a landmark case that could reach the law abiding people.. "hands off our phones!" tim cook: "some things are hard and some stake is the data security of millions of law abiding people.. "hands off our phones!" tim cook: "some things are hard and some things are right. and some things are both.

i think tim cook is all about business. i don't think he is about protecting america like fbi director comey is. this is business matter to tim cook and now to google and microsoft who apparently are joining in with amicus briefs in support of apple. reality is, i distrust government as much as anybody does but i don't distrust government's desire to safeguard and protect american citizens. at the end of the day, that is what this is about. cheryl: i have to say, it was a brief that reporters were given. one of the things apple said, this demand violates apple's first amendment rights against compelled speech and discrimination. that screams supreme court to me. i want to go back to director comey to see what the difference he says the court is actually asking apple to do, versus what apple said. listen. >> in the case in san bernanadino, the judge, the federal judge has ordered the maker of the phone to do two things. that is, disable the auto erase function on the phone, so that if the fbi is trying to guess the pass code

a tim cook might have said yes. they did this very public kind of display and so there couldn't be a behind the scenes back channel which is what i would have expected. instead you have tim cook is basically saying, listen, we want to protect privacy. it resonates, frankly. mr. board is so spot on today, it's a joy to listen to. and it's so right. i wish other people when they saw the data get weak kind of re-adjust. the inflation rate is coming down because of oil. it's great to hear someone say there's a little bit of change, therefore, you have to change with him. >> this is nice. let me return the favor. i love your comments on apple. it's a lovefest today. >> it wasn't always like that between you two guys. this is really nice. >> jim, you want to break up the banks, too? >> no, no, i think the banks are fine. i worry about the oil exposure and the pipeline exposure. they're all coming out now. geez, it would have been nice to know how bad it was when they reported at the beginning of the year. >> mr. cramer, w

now tim cook is responding. but when you're responding in a case where there's a terrorist act we all saw the aftermath of that playing out. on twitter, on social media and conversations i don't hear a lot of sympathy for this position. somehow am and others in the industry that want to defend encryption want to get out ahead of this and say here's a solution. what we can do to help more. >> there's no sympathy. we saw what happened in san bernardino. we haven't really seen a clear example of what the worst case scenario could be and apple's tim cook is saying they're a u.s. based company but they operate globally and if the u.s. government can demand this can china's government? can russia's government? can other governments do the same thing? >> i thought where you were going with it is if this is put into apple devices it's going to be unbelievably detrimental to their international sales. no other country is going to want to buy this equipment if the fbi and nsa accessed these devices. nicholas weaver put ou

i think tim cook is standing up more for national security than anyone right now. emily: so the same question with an droird, if this is saving lines of, targeting one criminal, what is wrong with that? >> i believe tim cook is saving more lives by making this decision and it's the right way to go. what you are hearing from public technology companies, maybe they're not supporting this. i've spent the last day with cyber enception experts and everyone agrees that tim cook is making the right decision here. the government is asking us to build a unicorn, something that doesn't exist and if it's made for one, it will be made for others and the code will spread. so this is a very landmark case here and we need to make sure we hold our ground. emily: bob, what do you make of how as businesses these companies have respond or not? hiroshi lockheimer stopped short of saying we would -- would do exactly the same thing. >> couple things to think about. number one, the details of this case aren't necessarily for release of a, an encryption key. that clearly would never pass

we're going to begin with apple's ceo tim cooke and his reaction to his exclusive interview with abc news. >> cooke says helping the fbi to unlock an iphone used by one of the san bernardino attackers would be like creating a master key that could impact hundreds of millions of users, but a senior government official says the fbi wants apple to develop a way into that phone which will be known only inside apple. >> abc's elizabeth hur has more. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: kendis and reena, good morning to you. right off the bat, tim cooke addressed the victims' families of the san bernardino attacks saying that they have his deepest sympathy and no one should go through what they have been through. that said, cooke says this case is more than about just one phone. >> safety of our kids, safety of our families is very important. is incredibly important. >> reporter: apple's ceo tim cooke explaining his decision exclusive to "world news now" tonight with david muir senator apple has cooperated with the fbi fully in this case this they came to us and asked us for all the infor

ceo tim cook is calling the request to unlock the iphone a dangerous precedent. just after midnight, apple released this letter from its website explaining why they will be fighting the federal magistrate's order to unlock the cell phone of syed farook, one of two people who shot and killed 14 people last september. and they have been trying to unlock the iphone to read e-mails for a month and a half prior to the shooting but can't because he disabled the cloud feature. and they said unlocking the modified ios is too dangerous to create that could bypass security and encryption found on millions of other i phones and points out there's no guarantee the government could or would keep the master key confined to the terrorist iphone. we are challenging the fbi's demands with the deepest respect for american democracy and love of our country. we believe it would be in the best interests of everyone to consider its implications. he quoted he has no sympathy for terrorists and cooperated with the investigation and also making available engineers to provide expert advic
