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.
