In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys react to Francesca Hong getting heavily ratioed after posting a cringey fake Knicks fan video that went viral. They also recap the results from the recent Democratic convention straw poll and question whether Mandela Barnes has become an even weaker candidate after finishing in 6th place.

The hosts then tear into State Rep. Greta Neubauer’s “Queer Pride Day” post, calling out what they describe as stolen valor for gays after she publicly claimed to be part of the community despite her lifestyle. For a lighter moment, the guys try the new Mountain Dew Dunkers from Kwik Trip and give their honest review. The episode wraps up with an interview with Katie Baney, Republican candidate for State Senate District 1.

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys react to Kirk Bangstad officially being kicked off the Democratic gubernatorial primary ballot after failing to gather enough valid signatures.

They also share their guesses on the Republican straw poll results from the recent convention. On the Democratic side, the hosts break down Sara Rodriguez releasing her own internal poll, which they see as a desperate attempt to slow down the momentum of the more socialist candidates in the primary. Mandela Barnes released new policy proposals, though the guys couldn’t help but note that he doesn’t seem to know what a muskie looks like. David Crowley continues to struggle as his campaign is now forced to share endorsements with Francesca Hong. Meanwhile, Joel Brennan keeps lighting money on fire with his first ad buy.

The hosts also discuss the surprising news that there are now 97 total candidates running for the Wisconsin State Assembly. They point out that this high number of candidates challenges the narrative that 2026 is shaping up to be a blue wave year.

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys kick things off by celebrating the one-year anniversary of the podcast. They reflect on how far they’ve come, thank the listeners who have stuck with them, and express how grateful they are to still be here delivering unfiltered conservative commentary on Wisconsin politics.

They then dive into President Trump’s recent visit to Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, where he drew a big crowd of farmers and rallied alongside Rep. Derrick Van Orden (DVO) for what the hosts call a great time and a strong show of support for rural Wisconsin.

The guys break down the Democratic gubernatorial primary, asking whether “moderate” Missy Hughes actually has any real shot and whether Mandela Barnes has suddenly become a stronger candidate than he looked a few months ago.

They also discuss whether the State Senate is heading back into session to try and hammer out a new deal on property taxes or other priorities, noting that it’s still unclear but worth watching closely.

On the lighter side, they report that Kirk Bangstad ultimately did not make the ballot after all, sparing the already crowded field from even more chaos. And finally, they check back in on Shadow Governor Vos’ favorite illegal immigrant, who is back in the news once again. There is no way she is coming back right?
