In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys break down the high-stakes Wisconsin Supreme Court debate that took place this week, where the justices clashed over everything from election maps to abortion and the future of the court’s 4-3 balance following Justice Bradley's retirement.

They also cover the arrest of the head imam at the Islamic Center of Wisconsin, who was picked up by ICE on immigration violations. The hosts roast Gov. Tony Evers for pulling a classic Friday news dump on Good Friday, vetoing a stack of Republican bills hoping most Wisconsinites would be offline or at church and miss the story entirely.

The Heartland Post joins forces with the New Fashioned Conservatives podcast, featuring their interview with Washington County Judge Candidate Grant Scaife.

Despite being one of the most Republican counties in Wisconsin—and a key part of the historically pivotal WOW counties—Washington County’s four-seat circuit court bench is currently composed entirely of judges appointed by Tony Evers and one man is trying to change that: Grant Scaife

Grant Scaife currently serves as an assistant district attorney in Washington County, where he has spent the past seven years prosecuting serious criminal cases. His experience includes handling homicides, sexual assaults, drug trafficking, domestic violence, and OWI offenses, often working closely with local law enforcement.

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.
