greg, let me begin with you. let's start with why this -- the israeli-palestine conflict continues today? >> guest: well, it's been going on now for decades. we're talking six decades. and i think in 10 years ago in 2000 they were close to an agreement and they worked backwards and one of the things we wanted to emphasize in this book was the way they dug a deeper hole for themselves. you look at the things that have happened. hamas is in full control of gaza and wants nothing to do with negotiations. israeli settlements have expanded from 100,000 when the peace talks began early '90s to 300,000 today. so a lot of the problems that you were looking at 10 years ago have multiplied and become even larger and that's one of the things we wanted to emphasize it's not just a continuation of the conflict but it's a deepening of the conflict in part of the way. >> host: and part of your book includes your personal stories as well. i mean, you lived there. you raised two small children there. you were there from what 1999

[laughter] [applause] >> either way, it is your home town. >> that is true. >> you might feel like you're on the hot seat on this panel draws that is ok. i can handle it. >> the background is extensive. certainly, after i have come in, there are psychological profiles. there are lie-detector tests. so, we really do try to get it right. only one out of 11 applicants to the police department makes it through. yet, we still get some folks to do some things we would rather have them not do. but character is everything, as has been discussed, in the police departmen

greg wagner is a very smart man. i suspect that if we ask him what he would do, he would come up with something -- he would figure out how to fix the situation. the problem is that historically in the city, the decisions have not been driven by sound and rational decision making. they have been driven by politics like organized labor, everybody wants to get reelected. we need to believe that there will be sound and rational decision making with your breath of fresh air and this smart group of people. what assurance can you give us that is the decision making process that will be used to address the deficit? >> that is a big question. as you know, i am not a politician myself. my desire is that the board of supervisors return meat to the city administrator's job so that i can have five years of higher pay. i also will say that my colleagues here are not politicians either. they are trying to the best job they can. they have many years of experience. i have been very fortunate to work with my colleagues because they ha
