President obama will meet with the families of the victims of the San Bernardino massacre tonight. Now, marquez is not accused of participating in that attack. But prosecutors say he did hatch plans for other Mass Shootings with his long time friend and neighbor. After ten days of questioning by the fbi, Enrique Marquez arrived at a federal courthouse, appearing to face charges that he plotted terror attacks with Syed Rizwan Farook and unlawfully purchased the rifles farook and his wife used in the San Bernardino massacre. Federal agents say marquez admitted to planning an attack with farook at Riverside Community college in 2011. According to the criminal complaint, the plot targeted the because they wanted to maximize casualties. They also planned a rush hour attack on busy state route 91 in riverside.

To the attacks but cook has since told us that apple has not changed its position. In the government they say its like you have a search warrant but you cant unlock the trunk. Heres the situation. On your smartphone today, on your iphone, there is likely health information. Theres financial information. There are intimate conversations with your family or your coworkers. Theres probably business secrets. 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 . Its because if there is a way to get in, then somebody will find the 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, for good guys and bad guys. But do the government have a good point, they say if we have information is evidence of criminal conduct, or National Security behavior. If the government lays a proper warrant on us today, then we will give the specific information that is requested, because we have to by law. In the case of encrypted communication, we dont have it to give. Like your imessages are encrypted. Help me understand how you get to the governments dilemma. I dont believe the tradeoff here is privacy versus National Security. I think thats an overly simplistic view. Were america. We should have both. In our next hour well hear how cook talks about tax.
