now, obviously steve forbes the editor in chief was a republican candidate. what do you make of the magazine's decision to put this on the cover? >> i think it was not only a cover story but cover for politicians like gingrich to connect to this birther movement, even though this article does not assert that he was born anywhere but hawaii because i think a lot of politicians like gingrich are looking to do that and that's what this accomplished. this author in particular in the past has been a foundation for these kinds of things. he wrote a whole book claiming that cultural icons, american icons like britney spears caused 9/11 by outraging islamic values, offending islamic values -- >> i've never heard those two words in the same sentence -- >> i know, britney spears -- and a lot of politicians like pat robertson went on to say yeah, it's the godless american cultural leaders who caused 9/11. and that was -- that's what this author accomplished in that case. >> dinesh d'souza told me he explicitly rejects the whole birther movement and he told me he drew th

according to forbes, 26-year-old zuckerberg is worth more than $7 billion, that's $1 billion more than steve jobs. he spends more per student than any other district in new jersey including the rich districts but half of them graduate. adrian, let me begin with you. if you're looking at a district that spends more than any other district and is getting so little in terms of results, what do they expect to accomplish in terms of money. >> they're doing it very differently. the governor in new jersey has a radical plan for performing the school district. and this money, while it hasn't been said exactly how it's going to be used, we can assume because the governor's involved and mayor booker is involved who's also -- the two of them are very big supporters of school choice, of charter schools, of merit pay, that this is going to be what the unions in new jersey have been fighting since the governor took office and we're going to see a very different type of school program. >> i know that you're very familiar with the education system in new jersey. your family is involved. >> run a big charter
