Power vs. Influence with Bret Stephens

<p>Bret Stephens, SAPIR editor-in-chief, joins David Wolpe for a conversation about why having power doesn’t always mean you have influence. Bret makes the case that American Jews face a striking paradox: more power but less influence than at any point in his lifetime.<em> </em>They explore how that happened, and the lessons for anyone trying to change minds in a polarized era. They also discuss promising new ventures in media and publishing, as well as how to equip the next generation of Jewish leaders to thrive. </p><p>You can read Bret Stephens&#39; editor’s note, The Anxiety of (Waning) Jewish Influence, at <a href="https://sapirjournal.org/influence/2026/the-anxiety-of-waning-jewish-influence/"><u>https://sapirjournal.org/influence/2026/the-anxiety-of-waning-jewish-influence/</u></a> </p><p>The IHRA definition of antisemitism, which was referenced in their conversation, can be found at <a href="https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism"><u>https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism</u></a>. </p><p>Learn more about SAPIR and subscribe to the print journal at <a href="http://www.sapirjournal.org"><u>http://⁠www.sapirjournal.org⁠</u>.</a></p><p>Subscribe to the SAPIR Podcast on Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sapir-with-david-wolpe/id1583771945"><u>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sapir-with-david-wolpe/id1583771945</u></a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7JcLb3jkh60ybrtX7Awp0m"><u>https://open.spotify.com/show/7JcLb3jkh60ybrtX7Awp0m</u></a> </p><p>Or wherever you get your podcasts: <a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/sapirpodcast/"><u>https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/sapirpodcast/</u></a></p><p>Comments or questions?
