bill bratton is with us now. it's a perfectly timed title for a book.ing america right now, it seems to me. is that so many of the leaders in america are at each other's throats. never mind the world that american leaders collaborated, isn't it? >> actually if you want an example of data to collaborate, all you want to do is look at the u.s. congress in terms of the fiasco that that body has become. it's perfectly timed. collaborate or perish is very appropriate. and it going to get us nowhere unfortunately. >> all these things are into businesses, whether you're running a government, you're running a police force. whatever it may be, a television network, it all comes down to very common ground in terms of running a team of people. running businesses. >> we're going through a major reorganization at this point. in los angeles and new york, the success in those cities was as a result of collaboration. my proudest accomplishment in the public sector was the collaboration between the los angeles police department and the city's minority population, partic

bill bratton ran the police force in new york and brought it to boston and l.a.so coauthor of "collaborate or perish." he's an inspiration to health care and other hot spotters all over the country who are applying his methodologies in his field of study. new levels of connectivity and shared information. new pressures that are unprecedented. and that it's only if we use the new tools that we'll be able to solve these problems. is that the point? >> that's the basis of it. the idea if you're not going to learn how to use the new network, you're going to perish. borders out of business. it didn't transcend on how to reach customers. barnes and noble hanging in there because of the nook. this is an example of the idea to collaborate on something as simple as selling books. >> susan, go ahead. >> i'm just curious. do you talk about how important it is to go through the process and fail at times? meaning you have to try new things and you even have to budget for it just so you can collaborate. not everything is going to be a home run from day one. >> it took awhile t

but chief bratton, who endorses this book, says you cannot build enough walls to keep this stuff out. look at what has happened in latin america. look at what has happened in italy. if you think you can secure your neighborhood and leave these children in the gang has ounce in perpetual terror, they end up incubating a threat that will come out where the upper-middle class folks like us like a cat in a bag and it will be too late. generalontdi, mcchrystal, all saying that this is a good book. it is a warning. if you keep the poorest children in gains on, you incubate a real danger that will come back at you. tavis: sometimes people do the right things for the wrong reasons. i would be happy if those persons who are well-to-do, the rich, the lucky, the elite would understand the argument that you are making in the book. if they understand and act -- and accepted the argument for what it is as opposed to doing the right thing for the wrong things, which is my personal safety, that is all i care about. how do we get them to do the right thing for the right reasons? does that make sense?

once that is very bratton, chief bratton, the second transformative chief, parker was the first one, chief bratton began the end of lapd's imperial culture unaccountable to anybody. unaccountable -- the city council held out the power. the politicians are terrified of lapd. has it changed completely? no. but the fact that my first book party was given by chief pack and they were lined to around outlays. i can even sue lapd because they don't have to. we are allies and we are going children and jordan downs and them. you.

that he was going to bring in this new police chief and i had actually heard about him from bill brattonbefore the current police chief, charlie beck. bill called me up and says there is this guy george gascon, he is considering to be the chief of san francisco police department. he is a really great guy, would you talk to him? and i did. and then he was appointed as police chief. i have to tell you, he would come down to the office at least on a weekly basis and we had many conversations over the course of a couple of years. and his perspective, the perspective of george gascon has always been the perspective of a leader in law enforcement who has, as a first priority public safety, but always with a mind toward how we can do the work better, how we can think about reform and how we can always aspire to that goal that we often call the smart on crime approach to criminal justice policy. and so when he decided to run after being appointed by then mayor newsom, when he decided to run as district attorney, i was very excited to support him. and what i knew then was what we saw during the c

we may not see it today by great-grandchildren will my great 10 would give me a also chief bratton and great retired general and i love stan mcchrystal i am a military cad. we had him out here to root and doing? i am and afghanistan you are is in our children are dying is the mission. stay on at. said on the back cornell west and tavis smiley that is a great line up. i have to tell you i don't i know that i sound that would call we were not allowed to watch a tiny 1 foot square locked but she thought it was poison to brought to our brains. we were all the allowed to watch news. walter cronkite, the "60 minutes", but we were allowed to read and read. nomad an end those they don't belong to geographically to any tribe. was one of the theory -- first african-american and a first liaison to the british embassy we grew up in europe, japan, 17 different it and we do need to help privileged writing on the before not the first talented painfully aware on the shoulders of the giants of which i stand. not just my parents. but if you think the efforts that it took for me to stand here it is truly

think about what bill bratton was talking about with collaboration. you can't collaborate with people like jim demint who says we have nothing in common. how is it possible that we don't have a shared goal of getting people jobs? how can that not be a shared goal. but i think the bottom line is people have to be the ones to push to make it happen. we have to say to our candidates, i wish that in south carolina, for example, people hadn't heated the dog whistle of newt gingrich and instead said, wait a minute. i want to talk about jobs. i want to talk about health care. >> but the problem with that is as you shrink the voters, it's easier to do the manipulation as you have more voters in the pool. the tolerance for the cheap manipulation of either political party becomes much less powerful. speaking of manipulation, to a development today in the fraud closure crisis. state attorney generals have signed on to a brain manipulation. that's what the federal government is offering. anybody? no? call me after the show if you want to sell your house. no furth
