I truly admire his patience. He basically answered the same question many times, over and over again.

Tim cook has amazing patience. I would have lost it and just walked out. This reporter is so annoying. you can see Tim Cook trying his best to maintain his composure.

That's a very modest office. Considering Apple is the world's most valuable company and Tim Cook is the boss, the fact he has a small office like everyone else speaks volumes. I think he may be the coolest, most down-to-earth person in the world.

I agree with you Tim.

How many fucking times do you have to ask a person the same fucking question. That is classic media manipulation. I love Tim Cook's care for our security and will "only" buy apple products while they continue to hold to these principals!!!!

This interview should be called "Watch how many times David Muir has to ask to ask Tim Cook the same question before he understands his answer"

Tim is a very well spoken man. He makes some very strong arguments for encrypting.

Great job Tim. 30 min of David Muir asking the same freakin question over and over. David Muir: "What's your favorite color?" Tim: "Blue" David Muir: "So your favorite color is blue." Tim: "Yes, I said that." David Muir: "If I asked you what your favorite color is, would you say blue?" Tim: "Yes...you goddamn repeating parrot."

I dont own any apple products but I agree with Tim Cook 1 billion percent

Have never seen Tim Cook show such genuine passion. Have not thought much of him until this. I feel like I now understand why he's CEO of Apple. I think they need to find their way again with innovation, but Tim Cook is showing he's not a pushover.

Why not ask him the question again David!??

thumbs up for Tim, thumbs down for the interviewer!

that 50% of Americans that want tim to write this software are probably old people like donald trump who know nothing about 21st century technology

I stand with Tim Cook and Apple 100%.

Full support for Tim Cook and apple do not unlock that iPhone for the government

I know politics is not Tim's forté but if he ever decides to run for president, I would vote for him. It's too bad our current crop of candidates don't have this kind of passion and decency. Best of luck, Mr. Cook.

Tim Cook is right. Many forms of service, not just government.

Tim Cook for president

Thank you Tim! It's amazing how many different ways you could be asked one question

If Apple keeps these views I will always have apple products

I'm not an Apple user but I support them on this issue.

30 minute interview going over the same shit! These questions could have been done in 5 minutes.

This interviewer asked the same question a million times. I admire Tim because he was able to deal with this insistence answering the same answer a million times, maintaining the patience and politeness.

If Tim Cook is inviting congress to decide whether to give the FBI what they want, I suggest everyone contact their congressman/woman and let them know what you think. Good for you Tim and taking a strong stance on this! I think you have won over many of the anti-Apple crowd.

Tim Cook is a very well-spoken man, with incredible high integrity. He also appears to be a very honnest man.

Red eyes? Chewy sound when speaking? Tim's high as fuck.

I am proud of Apple for standing up to this ignorant badgering. This country was founded on the autonomous rights of its citizens. We only give up these rights if we give in to tyranny by remaining silent while being stripped of them.

The reporter asks the same question over and over. I don't know how Tim didn't slap him.

Shout out to the MacBook at 1:58. Just chillin?

Does anyone know if this is an ABC News exclusive? The graphic is a bit ambiguous.

I love you, Tim Cook! sent from HTC m8

I wish i was a CEO you could speak your heart out

Jesus Christ!!!! I hated this interview because the Interviewer was basically trying to MAKE Tim say: "Ok, I'll do it" which he clearly, cristal clear explained why that'd be an extremely dangerous act towards america and society around the world.

30 min for a question.. hats off for the patience of tim cook

I love the way Tim says “products” and “iPhone”😂😂

Thank you Tim Cook and Apple for standing tall for your customers!!

The reporter spent most of the interview with one topic. I want to know more about other topics as well.

David Muir literally repeatedly asked the same questions multiple times. Very redundant...must be frustrating for Tim Cook to repeat himself over and over. I have much respect for Tim. He is right, it is a slippery slope handing over a master key to the govt. Trump is a joke, no one takes him seriously.

Tim probably cleaned that office before letting David in. Thank you Mr. Cook for protecting our privacy.

Tim Cook is standing firm, I wish he remains in same way.

"But in your quiet moments..." in his quiet moments... you know... people like to keep those quite moments to themselves.

This one humble American wants to thank you for standing up for us, the everyday person and our right to our privacy. Stay strong Tim Cook.

I Stand with Apple

did anyone notice how the apple logo on Tim's Mac changes throughout the interview?

It's possible to have (or to find) this video with french subtiles ?

This video helps me sleep.

Much respect Tim

wow they did a very good job preping him for the interview!

that macbook in the backgroud looks a little fat for the new macbook im guessing its the new pro in space grey

Same questions were asked throughout the interview, just in different words.

Great interview

There's a key statement here that has resonated with me since I first watched this interview the day it was aired. At 12:46, he says "Somethings are hard, and somethings are right, and somethings are both." I apply that to so many things when faced with a multifactor variable.

If you want to know who the terrorists contacted why can't you just contact the cellular company?!

The interviewer asks the very same questions again and again

World's most valued company's CEO' office. Very humble.

The interviewer asked the same question 100 times 😂😂😂

That is the reason why Apple is American №1 brand !

The ideology displayed by Apple through Tim Cook will probably gain a great deal of trust in Apple itself. Great boost to sales and consumer confidences towards cell technology. Bravo Apple and Tim Cook.

If Steve Jobs was still alive, the FBI would not have even contacted Apple. He is way too intimidating

Tim Cook is absolutely right! The DOJ and FBI are being very narrow minded in their approach. Im a British consumer and buy a lot of Apple products. Millions of Apples customers (most of which are outside the US incidentally) buy Apple because of their quality, their care and ultimately their culture of serving and protecting the customer. It means hundred of millions of people put their trust in their devices to store all their personal information. Other companies like Google, Samsung, Microsoft are famous for monitoring what people are doing, saying, watching, their location and make a tidy profit selling this data on, and I'm not surprised if terrorists (and its not just ISIS or Taliban but Terror states like Iran / North Korea) are already syphoning the internet for this data. It is very sad of what happened to the victims, infact all victims of Terror related incidents, but the course of action that Apple is facing like Tim said has catastrophic knock on affects. Tim said that its a hot debate that should be discussed by the American people, the President and Congress. I disagree! This affects the many more hundreds of millions of people around the world and therefore this debate should be discussed at the next UN meeting and in the context of Security Counsel. I sincerely hope that the DOJ and FBI see common sense and instead of fighting this case for what "might be" on this phone to work with Apple, with civil liberty groups, legislation organisations, and encryption organisations to explore further. Because if they get this wrong and legally force Apple's hand to build this back door, I sincerely hope that those in question forcing this issue can answer the world when nearly a billion people have their financial data stolen that ultimately crashes the worlds banking system, causes Terrorist States like North Korea, Iran and many others to know every detail we have... Yes that is the extreme, but its a very possible extreme, and one Tim Cook and Apple are quite right in defending. #ImwithTim

This is one of the moment when I gain respect for Tim.

He asks the same question in a different way and get the same result lol, Tim should of said to him interview over get the "F" out of my office.

He literally asked what could be on the phone like he knew the guy 🤣

Choosing between user privacy and security is a real problem. Kudos to Tim Cook for taking a brave and rightful stand.

8:52 Shows the pure  style in an answer

I change my opinion. Actually I think, Tim Cook is the best CEO in the world. He is courageu.

Horrible interviewer. Why is he asking the EXACT same question? Mr.Cook answered them with EXACTLY the same answer. This reminds me of Mr.Einstein quote" Doing the same thing and expecting a different result, is Insanity ". Im so happy to have leaders in business like Mr.Cook - that show courage and bravery to stick to their values - which I draw from for benefit of my business and community.

what happened to the Apple logo disabear in the back of the Mac PC at 03:17 03:35 it's came back again hehehehehhehe

Tim was and is 100% right. Good for Apple.

This is why Tim Cook is the greatest CEO, definition of visionary!

Tim is so annoyed with being asked the same question for 30 minutes.

why is that water bottle behind the imac?

10:20 How sketchy is that?! What a coincidence.

Tim Cook is a vary patient man.

Awesome Tim

18:00 he kept asking the same questions over and over. Tim just basically put it into different words

whats the password for your phone David?

Good for Tim

I love how David Muir asks Tim the same questions over and over, despite the fact that Tim provides cohesive reasoning for why Apple won't create a backdoor. Nothing like 5 minutes of content in almost 30 minutes of video.

I love Tim Cook.

Keep up the fight Tim. 100% agree with your stance.

Tim is right.

What happened to the apple logo in the back, it's in different shape very time, 4:15, 10:15, etc... , 5:00 ~~5:10 you can actually see the change. Is this a liege issue ?

Why they kept that laptop open in the behind ?

Sacrificing freedom for revenge is like shooting yourself in the foot. I support Tim and Apple. We live in a civilized society, we have certain unalienable rights that we should never lay down.

They argued the same questions over and over. This could have easily been a 10 minute interview. But j agree with Tim.

Im sure if everyone knew what the FBI actually wanted apple to do the poll would be a lot more in favour of no

This is one of the many reasons I stick with this company

Time stamp 17:23 For example, Microsoft made a backdoor for the NSA, and a bad guy created the WannaCry malware using that backdoor.

I agree with Tim :)

very good Tim !

Good work, Tim!

I feel like the interviewer only had 1 question on that paper and just thought hmmm ill ask it in as many possible ways I can ...the f**k lol

This guy is great! A great leader

The annoying thing about explaining technology is explaining it to someone who doesn't have at least the fundamental understanding of it. You put up so much effort to boil down the complexity of the issue, yet they still don't get the full picture of it - so they can only ask you the same question again and again

THE LEGEND

good for you Tim!

I'm with Mr. Cook on this. If they do write this your privacy is gone... whatever privacy there's left.

I would agree 100% with Apple's standpoint. However, for me - someone who's no tech guy - it is somewhat hard to believe that any approach on unlocking it would 100% establish a potential risk for Apple's security. I mean...what if a small confidential team would work 100% offline and try writing that software, unlock the phone and then destroy the information a 100%.

how many of you just was starring at his office! looking to find somthing intresting!
