"75 people at Politico signed a letter saying I shouldn't call the mullahs aggressors. So I held an all-hands and said: you're right. I should have called them mass murderers and terrorists." Mathias Döpfner runs Axel Springer, the empire behind Politico, Business Insider, Bild and Die Welt. At ARC 2026 he was unapologetic: journalism that pretends to be neutral is lying, and a newsroom should know exactly what it stands for. Watch Mathias Döpfner's full conversation from ARC 2026.

"The story isn't that women are victims of the West. The story is that they are the ones being called to save it."

"Young people today have a counterfeit formula for the good life: love things, use people, worship yourself." At ARC 2026, Arthur Brooks argued that the West's deepest crisis is not political but a crisis of meaning, and that a generation raised online has inherited exactly the wrong formula for a good life.
