let me begin by paying tribute to ralph nader. i can guarantee you he was around -- if he was around several centuries ago, he would have offered at the podium to ptolemy and copernicus. i want to begin with two ideas. one is the most important any country makes because what sister rose said then is true now, in times of war, the truth is silent. the second is the most important idea in the history of civilization is due process, the prospect that you could get it wrong. to make sure they you do not harm civilians or innocent people. it started over eight centuries ago in the minor part of. it is so important we maintain this discussion with some bright because it determines the fate of the united states as a nation. i would submit that the united states has engaged in violent more sense of 9/11. although it may sound jarring, i would submit that 9/11 was not "war" in the international sense and there was not the same amount of danger to unleash the fury of on armed violence against the population, civilian or otherwise. i submit,

ralph nader would be an excellent person. i know he helps out a lot of these. the religious organizations from the early founding of our country persisted so much, but now it is getting into the corporate base. therefore, by influencing the super rich and most wealthy foundations to bolster giving and provide giving, i think that as one of the best ways to do it. host: are there demographics to those that did? guest: absolutely. one of the efforts is the giving pledge that bill and melinda gates and warren buffett came up with. they have been visiting wealthy people around the world to encourage giving half of their assets away. a least 100 people have signed the pledge in the united states. certainly, the consciousness about giving money away is being raised. host: victor has this tweet host: stacy palmer, what is "chronicle of philanthropy?" guest: recover non-profit organizations, are independent, and we do investigative reporting as well. host: do you specifically focus on charities? guest: non-profit organizations, all the groups under the 501c3 on block.
