Summary

In the Information Age, democracy faces an emerging threat in the form of political polarization. Fortunately, it is not without a solution. Chairman of Special Olympics International and Founder of UNITE, Tim Shriver, sat down with Bret to go over his efforts to turn down the temperature of American politics through the creation of the “Dignity Barometer,” an eight-point scale that aims to help Americans of opposing views work together to solve their problems by giving them an objective way to measure the “dignity” of political rhetoric. This interview first aired on Tuesday, 04/21, on Special Report. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
