  • AIPAC Spent $7 Million to Stop Daniel Biss. He Won Anyway.
    Mar 25 2026

    Daniel Biss joined Lauren Egan to discuss his win in a crowded Democratic primary for Illinois' 9th Congressional District. AIPAC spent more than $7 million trying to stop him. Biss, whose mother is Israeli and whose grandparents are Holocaust survivors, opens up about what it felt like to be personally targeted and why he believes those attacks backfired. He also breaks down the strategy behind his campaign, taking on outside money head-on, defining the race early, and turning a flood of spending into a liability for his opponents.

I'm a proud conservative American, but the Republican party has gone off the rails with the MAGA movement. This podcast, despite having some commentators with liberal views I don't share, helps me feel sane. In the Trump era it's hard to find healthy conservative analysis of public events and the Buiwark provides that. Hopefully we'll get through this shameful moment of in history. If you agree with what I'm saying, this podcast is for you.

Fantastic, thoughtful, moderate analysis
