The Bret Baier Podcast

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

This interview first aired on Tuesday, 04/21, on Special Report.
