Americans give hundreds of billions of dollars to charity every year, but is the money well-spent? Is it sometimes wasted or even counterproductive? What’s the best way to apply the charitable impulse?

Also, with brigadier general Jeffrey Sinclair going on trial for forced sodomy, does the military seem prepared to finally confront the long-term problem of sexual assault?

Plus Boeing has announced plans to release a “self-destructing” phone that, when tampered with, will automatically delete all its information? Is this the wave of the future or just a gimmick?

Finally, our panel discusses California’s new “Eraser Law” giving minors the right to demand that any embarrassing photos or other material they’ve posted to social networks be removed. Will this law actually protect anyone?

All this and a legendary Ana Kasparian #NoFilter rant on sexist and homophobic Pastor James Manning’s fixation on her breasts.
