5:01 pm
school officials found this mountain lion cub 10 minutes before school started, many students and staff already on campus. >> the door to the main hallway was closed. they closed the door behind him to lock it in there. the department got to the scene, the school looked to shelter in place. that is put in effect if we have a wildlife emergency. disrupted final exams, and did school earlier than planned. >> you can see here, it hasn't been touched. we did get to see the mountain lion cub. >> very atypical behavior for an animal.

5:04 pm
asked to be the face of facebook and explain misinformation and political disasters and really the web as a nation -- weaponization of social media and she has not contributed that. she made it an advertising powerhouse, she did that extremely well and externally successfully. she created herself a billionaire, many millionaires, i think the tension between her and the company, it just got too much. >> we never saw sheryl sandberg in that role at all. >> she in many ways is a much better phase of the company than zuckerberg. she is more personal.

5:06 pm
of when it comes to female executives, very high level female executives. now for her not to be there, what does that say about her legacy? >> it leaves a big chasm, that speaks badly of the valley. but i can't say enough how important they have been to telling women step up, don't let men dominate meetings, don't let them ask for the races you are not getting. sheryl sandberg was absolutely at the forefront of that. again, that kind of is in the past. a lot of that got overlooked once 2016 happened and cambridge analytica. now she will undoubtedly try to put some distance between her and facebook and maybe get back to a leadership role. because silicon valley definitely needs more women. >> that is for sure, it is one
