arrived there and rob ford became mayor, what's canadian for alleluia?eventful few years for me? >> the first little while that rob ford was mayor, he was never the typical mold of a politician. he was always very colorful and he didn't make a lot of friends and he was aggressive. >> he started off somewhat positive with the colorful thing. very quickly went in to aggressive. >> it wasn't until about a year after that i started hearing about domestic incidents about the mayor's home, then rumors of drugs and then he stopped coming to city hall every day. his staff didn't know where he was sometimes. and it was a year after that that -- >> let me stop you right there. >> okay. >> so there's rumors of domestic abuse, drugs and absenteeism. >> right. >> and everyone waited a year. how does he get away with this? is he just -- what keeps him lovable and in charge? >> well, part of it, i think you guys take for granted how great your access information laws at least compared to canadian lawyers. >> really? >> i hear about instances, canadian laws. >> in 2011

surprising foresight from the man the canadian media has officially dubbed crack mayor rob ford. what possible reason did he have top want his sister's exboyfriend to be beaten up in prison. >> according to the suit to keep him guy bet ford's abuse of drug and alcohol. >> jon: yes, if not for him how would he ever have learned about his drug and alcohol abuse? he has done such a good job on keeping it on what we call the dl. >> yes, i have smoked crack cocaine. >> mimed another councilman driving drunk. (bleep). >> i will (bleep) (bleep) money, money, it said i wanted to eat (bleep). i never said that in my life to her. i'm happily married. i have more than enough to eat at home.

so they go home and google him and sure enough it's rob ford. and rob ford denied being there.gotten that he was giving out business cards cause then they were like -- but the business card here. so then he eventually said -- >> seth: i love the level of drunk is when you're handing out business cards. [ laughter ] it is like i do parties. >> and he poses for photos all of the time. i mean that's the theme in the book of the brazenness with which -- when he's in this state, he is still not afraid to pose for pictures, be videotaped. >> seth: this is the social media era and he wouldn't do interviews -- he wouldn't tell reporters where he was. but you could just go on twitter and track him. here's a photo he just took with a bachelorette party and that's him. [ laughter ] >> seth: and let me just say like it's really hard to take a picture with a bachelorette party and be the craziest looking person.

rob ford now mayor, his brother wants to be premiere of ontario. he city council seat open which they're already saying another ford will run in that seat. they really do believe they are born to lead the country. >> is he still popular? >> he is still popular. he's unclear whether he can get re-elected. his approval ratings are still in the 40s. he was elected with 47%. approval rating isn't exactly the same thing as voting intention. the question will be if he can keep his nose clean for the next little while. he does have this uncanny ability to connect with voters. he really will phone you back. if you phone rob ford, he will call you back. and that's i think a real message for politicians in general. is that people feel so silenced, so unheard that they are willing to overlook all this other stuff. >> you also talk in the book about a conversation between rob ford's wife and a confidante you heard a recording of. she denies is ever happened. >> the mayor's wife, who we don't know a lot about, and we're reluctant to report on her because they ha

that's sort of the footsteps that rob ford followed in.ok i talk about the story behind the story. i think a lot of people know obviously about his famous youtube vid y youtube videos and some of his more vulgar statements and of course the crack, but there's this really compelling story about a family in suburban toronto that is unorthodox and dysfunctional and has a history of substances and lying -- substance abuse and lies and there's been several shootings in their history. and they style themselves as the canadian kennedys. >> the canadian kennedy thing kills me because i think you have to be at least prime minister of canada, at least one of you, to earn that. but let me give you the two questions i want to touch on. first, quickly, as a writer, i'm curious how long it took you to write this book because you're right on trend with this thing. secondari secondarily, at the end, you almost talk about the near probability in your mind he'll be re-elected probably because he's been delivering for people, his approval rating is still in
