In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys are joined once again by the sharp-witted @jsonlinemkebs (Journal Sentinel Opinions) for his no-holds-barred satirical takes on the week’s political circus.

They open with the recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting that thankfully left no one harmed, but still triggered the usual media frenzy and conspiracy chatter.

The hosts unload on Kirk Bangstad after he once again doubled down on his vile promise to give away free beer the day he dies, calling him a despicable human being who never misses a chance to shock for attention.

Francesca Hong secures the high-profile endorsement from Rep. Ilhan Omar and immediately follows it up with some truly cringe social media moments.

Sara Rodriguez suffers what the panel calls her worst week yet after her awkward “behind the curtain” comments, leaving the hosts wondering if her campaign can recover in the already messy Democratic primary.

They also break down the 8 under-the-radar bills you should know about but probably don’t, plus a whole lot more. The episode closes with "Joel Brennan has a Dream."

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys roast Secretary of State Sara Godlewski’s latest viral moment, where she seemed genuinely shocked that hail is a normal spring weather event in Wisconsin — proving once again that weird politician videos never get old.

They dive into the increasingly hostile Democratic gubernatorial primary, where the knives are finally coming out as Kelda Roys starts throwing stones at her rivals. Roys just picked up the powerful WEAC teachers’ union endorsement, which the hosts say makes the already crowded field even tougher for everyone else.

On the Republican side, Tom Tiffany drops a brand-new campaign ad that perfectly mixes the best (and most cliché) pure Wisconsin vibes and the guys give it high marks for hitting the right notes.

Just a few weeks after Chris Taylor’s big win for the Supreme Court, another Democrat-aligned candidate has already jumped into the next open seat, prompting the hosts to sigh, “I’m tired” at the nonstop election cycle.

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys are joined by returning guests Eric Brooks and Nicole Balisterli for a post-election roundup of the 2026 Supreme Court of Wisconsin race. The panel calls the night a clear disappointment for Wisconsin Republicans, with conservative candidate Maria Lazar falling to liberal Chris Taylor by a full 20 points—solidifying the court’s 5-2 liberal majority for years to come. They do highlight some bright spots in the local races, including strong conservative performances in the Brookfield mayoral contest, the Washington County Circuit Court seat, and the New Richmond School District board races. The conversation also covers the split results on the Waukesha School Board and the disappointing loss in the Waukesha mayor’s race. The bulk of the episode digs into the Supreme Court blowout and launches a nuanced, but realistic discussion on the Wisconsin GOP’s shortcomings—where the blame truly lies, what needs to change, and how the party moves forward. For “Candy Stories,” the hosts can’t resist poking fun at State Sen. Kelda Roys’ latest stunt, joking that she’s using her college political-theatre major to magically double her support… from 1% all the way up to 2%.
