In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys open with the biggest political football heading into November: exploding property taxes. They break down how Democrats are aggressively messaging the issue to win back seats, but question whether it’ll actually stick with voters or just become another tired partisan distraction. They give a warm welcome to a brand-new conservative media outlet, The Heartland Post, which promises sharp commentary and stories the mainstream media won’t touch. The hosts react with disbelief to State Rep. Francesca Hong’s latest idea: a “Hooker Bill of Rights” that would expand protections and regulations for sex work. They cover the shocking case of a Wisconsin judge who handed a kid no jail time, only for him to go out and commit murder just four days later, sparking a serious conversation about holding judges accountable when they have so much unchecked power. Tragedy hits home with the murder of a Wisconsin Trump supporter by her own coworker, who openly cited the victim’s politics and alleged “racism”—raising the question of whether this qualifies as a politically motivated hate crime. On the gubernatorial front, the latest poll shows Francesca Hong leading the Democratic primary for the fourth straight time as the field finally starts to take real shape. Meanwhile, new internal polling for Rebecca Cooke shows her only narrowly ahead of U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden (DVO)—hardly the confidence booster Democrats were hoping for heading into November.

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys kick things off with March Madness fever, as politicians across the state fill out their brackets and spark a lively debate: Should elected officials stay loyal and always pick Wisconsin teams like the Badgers, or should they actually pick who they genuinely think will win the tournament? They react to the shockingly fast cancellation of Cesar Chavez Day events in several cities—axed in less than a week, even quicker than the usual progressive cancellations. The hosts then dive into the heated debate in Washington County over renaming a major highway. Liberals are strongly opposed, but the hosts themselves are split on the idea, and some Republicans are pushing back too. They cover several Republican retirements announced recently, leading into a deeper conversation about how to bring younger people into the legislature for fresh perspectives. They specifically debate whether Will Martin should pivot and run for State Senate instead of Lieutenant Governor, but unsure if it's realistic. The guys criticize Democrats for putting the cart before the horse on the 2026 elections, acting overly confident while they predict that the November general might not split down traditional lines .Finally, they cover the Sports Betting bill and the NIL bill both heading to Governor Evers' desk for signature.
