10:32 pm
site. to learn more about mark zucker burg we look at one of the few objective reporters that spent quality time with a reclusive billionaire. >> joined by david kirk patrick the author of the facebook effect no one is better suited than you to tell us fact from fiction in the social network movie that is causing so much excitement and it's all of the rage in the nation right now. generally speaking would you say it is more fact or fiction in a general sense? >> i would call it about 40 percent fact which is a pernicious reality. it is quite a bit of fact but there's a lot of fiction. i don't even know how you morally justify that myself. >> you think it should be rather than fact based more fiction based with a flash of fact. >> i think when you are dealing with 26-year-old living people who are doing the same thing that the movie is about it is fairly lead thing to be using
10:33 pm
their name the company's real name all that. i don't know how someone justifies that. >> how about as a movie? >> tense from the first minute and keeps the tension alive. as entertainment it is hugely successful. >> first press conference and backstage during the press conference i asked them the necessary question with whether or not his $100 million donation to the new york school system was in path an effort to deflect attention from the social network which portrays him in such a negative way. he answered in a very forthcoming sincere way i was invited by backstage by cory booker the new york mayor and governor who was back there as well chris christie. he freaked out when he saw me. i thought he was going to jump into the arms of his handlers. i extended my hand to shake his hand and it's the first time ever someone refused to shake my
10:34 pm
hand and ran out of the room. >> he wouldn't shake your hand? >> he refused ran out of the room wouldn't look at me. he asked what is this about? i wonder is that reflect tive of his pair now roy of being a multi billionaire his security issue what was he reacted to in such a hyper con netic way? >> i can't say because i wasn't there. but i think he frankly is less public than he should be. i think facebook as a company is increasingly already getting in trouble around the world because it is so huge and has so many itch indications in terms of privacy and identity and all kinds of issues that he has no choice but to get out there and be the public spokesman if he is going to be the ceo. >> you believe he has to step up to the plate and be trumpian or -- >> don't say trumpian. gatesian maybe. he could be much better than gates. he's a much more appealing personality than gates.
10:35 pm
zuckerberg if you start talking to him and as you he is a pretty nice guy. if he opens up he is appealing. they love him at facebook. he has tremendous loyalty from employees yet the movie portrays him interesting done this to get the attention of some girl that spurned him. he's had to fight girls off all his life. they love him because he's funny and smart and super confident. he has had a girlfriend almost the entire period the movie tells the story of. >> reminus of her name and tell us why he doesn't mary her and buy her a home they are still renting in palo alto. >> her name is priscilla chan. if she wanted all that he might do it they are very committed and i wouldn't be surprised if they got married at some point in the not distant future. he is unmaterialistic so is she. he rents the house he walks to work, he doesn't have fancy clothes or a fancy car.
10:36 pm
what interests him is taking facebook and making it a tool that can be used by everyone on the planet. that is something a lot of people have trouble wrapping their heads around. >> dauf individual kirk patrick thank you very much. >> the bigger reason we heard about mark zucker burg is the $100 million contributing to the failing newark new jersey public school system we are in a bureaucracy hard to fire bad teachers are being blamed for instructing reform like the public schools portrayed in another scathing new film a powerful documentary called waiting for super man. >> anthony goes odds are he will enter high school 3 to 5 grade levels behind. he goes to the first public boarding school in the country. >> call your number. >> bitter sweet to me. if i get in they will give me a
10:37 pm
better chance in life. if i don't i will be with my friends. >> by criticizing tenure, teacher tenure and highlighting how difficult it is for school districts to fire those bad teachers the release of waiting for super man and two other powerful documentaries have added to the political pressure on teacher's unions which has been mounting for months now. national attention focuses on charter schools merit pay and other approaches to education that teachers unions generally hate. is the criticism fair? to discuss and debate that point i am pleased to welcome former bush education secretary ron page who joins us from houston. randy wine depart enpresident of teachers here in the studio right now. embattled isn't that fair to say with you and the teachers unions around the country are right now? >> what i care about is actually
10:38 pm
what all of those teachers and kids who will be in school tomorrow morning think about and care about and all of those teachers come tonight instead of watching the show are actually doing their lesson plan. so embattled not embattled the real issue is how are we going to when we are trying to transcend to a global economy help all kids become "problem solvers"s and critical thinkers. it's great mark zuckerberg gave the donation. i met with cory booker this week about it. >> mayor of newark. >> ultimately as secretary of education rod paige knows, there is no silver bullet in education. part of what is concerning me is that their charter schools are not so bullet. ultimately we believe we shouldn't have bad teachers. there is no epidemic of bad teachers in the united states of america. there is a complicated tough
10:39 pm
strategy in terms of helping all kids who achieve. there are a lot of great public schools that know how to do it and charter schools that know how to do it. take the best of the best replicating it for all kids. >> charter schools generally speaking are nonunion but the wrath of the teachers unions because the teachers in the charter schools would not be under their jurisdiction. >> although we have -- >> opening statement from secretary page. you heard randy say there was no epidemic of this country of bad teachers. what say you? >> there is no silver bullet. >> that is a fact that i think even randy has to acknowledge they have the most powerful political force in education today. they use that force to protect their members not necessarily
10:40 pm
throu throughedcation for children. -- through education for children. >> you do represent 1.5 million unionized teachers. that's an enormous motivated intelligent voting block the allegation from the republicans on the right is the reason the democrats have left you alone is because of the political power you represent. >> this is not about political power. this is about how do we do about all kids that succeed. what we see in america would is surprise you only about half of the school districts in america have teacher union contracts. most of these teacher union contracts are done between manage am and labor. take tenure for a second tenure is due process. >> due process. it's not a job for life it shouldn't be a job for life.
10:41 pm
>> why do you say it's not a job for life effectively. if you get tenure you have got to be convicted of something horrible before you lose your job. it's come to the extent and we have all seen the stories you can't ignore the rubber room so-called where a teacher has been accused of some hideous thing they are not fired because of tenure they are put in a room where they get full pay and benefits do they add to the rubber rooms in the methods of a-judjudicateing whether the per will be fired or not. >> in january i asked ken feinburg who has been busy with bp right now to help us to do what you just suggested. i am very proud of my successor in new york city who came up with away to end that. >> they still exist. >> as far as -- >> what about secretary page's
10:42 pm
main point that the union that's what unions do that's what all organizations do you will matly cares most about its members. that's why you are a union. that's why you are a labor leader. >> first of all, i taught in public school in new york city for 6 years. every single day that i taught what i cared about more than anything else was my kids. every single teacher i know has that view. now the bottom line is this. in the twenty-some odd years that i have been toweling trying to help kids, when you help teachers you help kids. when you try to lower class size so teachers can differentiate you are helping kids. when you fight to make sure that kids have equity and excellence you are helping kids. >> are you helping kids when you keep someone on and you fight for them? i have to get to mr. page. >> secretary you come in -- whatever point you want our
10:43 pm
teachers over unioniunionized? >> schools are in fact over unionized. i think probably the only institution i can think of enterprised in the united states would be more unionized in schools would be the post office. schools are over unionized. it's not the only problem schools have. but we have to expect that this is really a problem that you deal with. >> follow up question. do you agree with governor chris christie that the biggest problem in public school today is the tooepers union? >> -- teachers union. >> one of the biggest problems in schools today is the schools are over unionized. >> the bottom line is, if that was true -- >> what do you think about chris christie? >> i have a lot of admiration for rod. >> i do you, too. >> the best school system in the
10:44 pm
world. the best school systems in the united states of america, massachusetts, maryland and minnesota all unionized. the issue is helping our kids. >> neither of those that you mentioned would say they are pleased with where they are. each of them would want to be better and could be better if they were not so heavily unionized. >> secretary page good luck to you. the debate shall continue. coming up he is not watching pornography at his office computer any more he's playing fantasy football. ♪
