Summary

The Builders Movement, a global initiative addressing the "us vs. them" mentality, is working to bring people together during this divisive time. KIND Snacks founder, Daniel Lubetzky, and co-founder of the Muhammad Ali Center, Lonnie Ali, are members of Builders and they both joined host Dave Anthony on the FOX News Rundown to discuss the organization’s mission. They discussed how to find common ground on issues even as divisive as the war in the Middle East, why extremist ideologies are given so much attention, and how civil dialogue could build a bridge between human beings on each side. Lubetzky shared his experience being the child of a holocaust survivor and how the recent examples of public antisemitism have impacted him. They also discussed how the legacy of Lonnie Ali’s late husband, Muhammad Ali, was an inspiration to them. The segment that aired this week on the regular weekday version of the Rundown only included a small portion of the interview. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Daniel Lubetzky and Lonnie Ali author, and hear even more about how they are trying the lift the voices of the center and combat the extremists who are dividing our country and world.
