they're taking 3 in 1 data, pothole request and crime report and matching it up with social media. they're getting this really deep and rich picture of what is going on in the city. and you can do that with data when you think about it creatively. philadelphia as i mentioned, they are really active in open data. and new york, again with 3 in 1 is doing smart analytics. i think that's what you'll see happening as well, government starts to become smarter, make better decisions, better policies. this term algorithmic regulation, which means you can have laws and policies in the cities determined by data and not just what we think is best, but what's actually best. so, as cities keep catching on and more and more with the data, you're going to see some really interesting things coming out. >> cool. while we're talking about data, another part of the announcement today was also motion loft making private data available within sort of that initiative and that website wrieri'd like to hear a little more, john, about kind of deciding to share that data with the city and also a lot of times

obviously all future trials will have a heavy, you know, data, social media component to them. let's get a plan here where the judge can't keep stuff that was obviously exculpatory to zimmerman out of the trial. he could be in jail right now if the jury would have gone a different way and my view, if he had been convicted, it would have largely been judge nelson's fault. >> in all due respect, even if every detail of the text messages, every negative thing about his background had been out there, it still might not have been remained germane in this case. that means all the time in criminal trials, that the background of someone isn't always admissible. sometimes it plays to the favor of a defendant, by the way. >> the media were all over the background of zimmerman. every accusation against him had a huge trumpeting and everything that was mentioned by jon wasn't in the media about trayvon. jon: the fact that trayvon was sort of cemented by the early photos that were released to him. the family brought out the photos of him young and age, age 12 or 11 like that. he was 17 when

neil: exactly, what would media then not pounce on that, say, all right this data is questionable? >> because, they have an agenda. they know what the purpose of this data is. that is -- >> to feed more government. >> more government, more higher taxes, more power for big government cruit cats -- brute cat, they think this is economic crisis is because of greedy bankers not fact that federal reserve undermined col adoed doe have a craze tax code. obamacare killing full time employment. neil: do you think that market just climbs that wall of worry? they are liking this? they are okay with this? or just -- >> market sees a couple things, to put it in perspective, market behind what it was 15 years ago. terms of looking to future, they realize obama cannot raise taxes any more. politically he will not be ale. to obamacara falling on its own weight, dodd-frank, falling ons had own wait, they are looking out two and 4 years saying there is money down the road. neil: maybe they are right. >> i hope so. neil: stev steve forbes thank yu very much. >> thank you, neil. neil: fast-food worker

could you go beyond social media and sort of share your thought on leverage data to form foreign policy? >> the current problem is still that -- the good news is the foreign policy apparatus or the importance of technology. the problem is we still view in foreign policy technology through the lens of public diplomacy and communicating. i'm not touting the importance of public diplomacy and communicating. that's one instrument of stay craft. the bigger sort of role of the technology can play is in how it empowers local entity and individuals who address local challenges. there's a huge role in the technology can play around analyzing and correlating data. i'll give you one example. google idea we look a lot at how do we use data to mass expose from traffickers to organ harvesters to human trafficking networks. terrorist organize organizations. when you look how they are organized in government they are deeply -- so the people working on human trafficking that typically falls in the human rights area. when people were working on -- it's the dea area. we silo these things. we look at them
