P in odessa on the set of an pindependent movie to see how pclose the state is to acting. P the movie being shot in this pmansion may one day win lots of pbig awards. Pbut you can see there a lots of plocal people working on this pfilm. Pand they say they would love to phave more work to do in tampa pbay and they are not going to pget it until the state approves pincentives of big films. P look how many people it takes pto film a scene. P action, cut. P on this indy film, the plights, cameras, tape measures pand slates are manned by locals. Peven the location itself is prented from an odessa homeowner. P even though theres 35 people phere, nobody is tripping over peach other. P the love story is produced by ptampa filmmaker. P we decide today have the pfilming done here because we pcould find all the cast and crew pand all those people. P but local movies is all tampa phad. Pa Ben Affleck Movie<\/a> with a crew pof 300 is being shot in georgia ause that state offered 6 pmillion in incentives.

Ptelling her she couldnt get pbenefits because her husband was pstill alive. P her husband died nearly 30 pyears ago. Pat one point the va insisted he pthe va claimed he didnt serve. Pand then she couldnt get pbenefits because she is premarried premarried. P they say she wrongly was premarried because she didnt preturn the letter that was va pwas sent to the wrong address.

P deborah thinks of her husband pand his promise that uncle sam pwould have her hand. P congressman bill posey helped presolve her problems and restore pher benefits. Pgood progress and aimed at pserving our vets. Pyou will find the record and ptestimony related to these pglitches and delays on our pwebsite. P all right. Pthanks. Phow about tonight the san pbernardino shooting spree in the pnews yet again. Pthe f. B. I. Wants to see who is pon pon the gunmans iphone to see if pthey were working with the pislamic state. Pthey want apple to open up the hone. Pwhy would apple be so reluctant pto help the f. B. I. Given what phappened in this case . P right, it was so emotional pand you would think your gut preaction is to go ahead and do pit. Punlock the phone. Pbut apple says it is a complete poverreach and getting support pfrom its rival, google. Ptim cook issued an 1100 word pletter. Psaying we have no sympathy for pterrorists. Pcook says the government isnt pjust asking for apple to unlock pthat particular phone. Phe says the f. B. I. Wants apple pto essentially reengineer the poperating system. Pinside the federal government pcan override that there. Pif you put in the wrong pass pcode it will be locked. Papple says theres no guarantee pof that. Pand the government is trying to pmake apple hack its own users pand undermine decades of psecurity enhancements. Pso am is saying we are not going pto do this. Pa federal judge says yes, you pare going to do this. Pis a massive. Pnow am is insisting and google pis backing them saying this is a pmuch larger case. Pmore implications than just that pone terrorism case. P what is apples next move and pwhat is the governments next pmove . P its clear they are going to pgo to court. Pit is definitely going up for pappeal. Pso i would not be surprised if pwe see in the coming days, more aperwork and more legal prambling. Pi think it would be a different pquestion if the f. B. I. Handed p to reengineer everything, plimited scope maybe they will pcomply. Pbut a larger scope that no pguarantee it will be p maybe thats part of the pnegotiations. Pthats just what the problem pthats what the case with google pand think about that. Pthese are huge rival. Pthis is like coke and pepsi. Pgetting on the same page, prepublican, democrat saying this pis a terrible precedent. Pwe should not go down that path. Plets hope this is an element of pthe compromise.
