CouleeConservatives Weekly Recap

How do you know whether a candidate truly shares your values—or is simply delivering a polished campaign message? This week, Chris presents a practical, evidence-based method for comparing candidates on the issues that matter most to you, from law and order and property taxes to education, energy, privacy, and national security.

The episode also examines political advertising, campaign financing, controversial Flock surveillance cameras, government waste and fraud, and the growing shift from government employment to private-sector opportunity. Above all, it is a challenge to move beyond slogans, study the evidence, make a voting plan, and become an active defender of liberty in your community.

How do we balance work, family, faith, responsibilities—and still make time to enjoy life? In this episode of Life Is Life for Everyone, Chris and Dana share hard-earned lessons about managing time through every season of life. From marriage and raising children to demanding careers, creative ambitions, and community involvement, they explore why being busy isn’t the same as being productive. Guided by Scripture, they discuss setting priorities, discovering your “why,” knowing when to say no, and recognizing when life has fallen out of balance. This honest, relatable conversation offers practical wisdom for making the most of your limited time while staying aligned with God, honoring your commitments, and remaining present for the people who matter most.

America’s future won’t be secured by spectators. In this fast-moving Weekly Recap, Chris examines President Trump’s historic oil agreement with Venezuela, the administration’s efforts to expose government fraud, and the growing battle over AI, data centers, and the infrastructure powering our economy.

Closer to home, he contrasts Tom Tiffany’s promise of permanent tax relief with David Crowley’s record in Milwaukee County, highlights Derrick Van Orden’s support from small businesses, and examines the widening political divide in Wisconsin.

With the November election rapidly approaching, this episode delivers a clear message: preserving liberty requires faith, vigilance, informed voters—and citizens willing to get off the couch and into the arena.

The burden of history is on our shoulders.

Wisconsin stands at a pivotal moment: How do we power a 21st-century economy without sacrificing farmland, local control, property rights, or the beauty of the Driftless Region? This week, Chris Muller examines a controversial transmission-line proposal, the promise of small modular nuclear reactors, and common-sense safeguards for data centers and taxpayers. He also explores the wider choice between liberty and government control, the importance of making a plan to vote, and how ordinary citizens can influence the future through the Victory Squad and their local Republican Party. The burden of history is ours—will we carry it?

What drives a prosecutor to keep fighting after coming within one percent of statewide victory—and surviving open-heart surgery? In this powerful Speakeasy Conversation, Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney shares the life-changing experience that renewed his calling to serve and explains why he is running for Wisconsin attorney general. Toney discusses fentanyl, violent crime, delayed forensic testing, street protests, cash bail, and the consequences when politics overtakes public safety. He also outlines his plans to strengthen law enforcement partnerships, restore accountability, and protect Wisconsin communities. Meet the man behind the campaign—and hear why he believes November 3 matters.

This week’s CouleeConservatives.com Weekly Recap is packed with big questions about Wisconsin’s future—and a challenge to every citizen who believes liberty is worth defending.

Chris draws on 30 years in information technology to explore what he sees as one of the most consequential developments of the 21st century: next-generation nuclear power. With electricity demand climbing alongside AI, data centers, electrification, and an increasingly digital economy, he looks at emerging small, scalable nuclear reactor technology and argues that America may be approaching an energy revolution capable of reshaping how communities power themselves.

Then the focus turns squarely to Wisconsin following the August primary. Chris digs into the gubernatorial results, the upcoming Van Orden–Cooke rematch in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, questions surrounding polling and election results, the political battle over SNAP, and the stakes of control of Congress. He also highlights Congressman Derrick Van Orden’s work on increased Medicaid funding for Wisconsin hospitals and expanded hunting and fishing opportunities on federal refuge lands.

Closer to home, Chris celebrates the Holmen Kornfest Parade, where volunteers joined 94th Assembly candidate Keith Purnell and lieutenant governor candidate David Varnam, and he calls on listeners to become more involved in their own communities—including an immediate opportunity for residents of Onalaska’s District 3 to apply for a vacant Common Council seat.

Running through the entire episode is one central message: citizenship is not a spectator sport. From voting and joining your county GOP to walking in a parade, volunteering with the Victory Squad, or simply sharing information with a neighbor, Chris argues that preserving liberty requires sustained participation long after Election Day.

Technology. Energy. Wisconsin politics. The outdoors. The November election. And a call to get off the couch and into the arena. This is a wide-ranging episode about the choices being made today—and the Wisconsin and America we will leave to the next generation.

What if changing your life begins with changing the way you think—and the words you choose to speak?

In this episode of Life Is Life for Everyone, Chris and Ace explore the powerful difference between optimism and pessimism, the danger of negative self-talk, and how faith can transform the way we face fear, conflict, failure, and uncertainty. From social-media battles and personal goals to military training, positive affirmations, and the life-changing power of Scripture, this conversation offers practical encouragement for anyone feeling trapped by negativity.

Discover how to “fight the good fight” with love, surround yourself with positive influences, and tap into the ultimate source of hope: God’s Word. If you’re ready to reset your mindset, strengthen your faith, and become a positive influence in someone else’s life, this episode is for you.

With a critical election just days away, this week’s CouleeConservatives.com Weekly Recap digs into the candidates, controversies, and political battles that could shape the future of Wisconsin and the Coulee Region.

Then we contrast those stories with Republican candidates including Tom Tiffany, Derrick Van Orden, Keith Purnell, and Cedric Schnitzler—and what they say they’ll bring to Madison and Washington.

But this episode is about more than candidates. It’s about you.

What does Scripture teach about civic responsibility? What happens when good people disengage from politics? And how can ordinary citizens make their voices heard—from voting and joining their local party to becoming part of the Victory Squad?

Liberty or greater government control? Engagement or apathy? Wisconsin must choose a direction.

Before you cast your ballot, hear the arguments, examine the records, and decide for yourself.

Wisconsin may be about to become the political battleground that shapes America's future.

In this episode of On the Issues, Chris Muller and Mike Huebsch tackle the stories the corporate media won't connect—from the growing instability in Europe and the immigration crisis to Wisconsin's high-stakes governor's race, election integrity, and the future of the American Dream.

They examine the ideas driving today's political movements, discuss why history matters more than ever, and explain why the decisions voters make in the months ahead could have consequences far beyond Wisconsin's borders. Along the way, they explore free markets, government power, public education, healthcare, and why informed citizens—not headlines—must shape the future.

Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation challenges assumptions, asks difficult questions, and makes the case that this election could be one of the most consequential in a generation. Don't miss it.

This week highlights two very different visions of Wisconsin. One is built on peaceful communities, small towns filled with patriotic Americans, hard work, family traditions, and opportunity. The other is playing out through political conflict, competing policy agendas, and fierce debates over the state's future as voters come to a conclusion on the choice between Liberty and Tyranny. Chris Muller, just returning from a vacation Up North, catches up on the latest chaos in Madison and unpacks the week's biggest stories—from Madison politics and election integrity to healthcare wins, manufacturing growth, energy policy, and the importance of grassroots civic engagement—while asking a simple question: Which Wisconsin will we choose at the ballot box?
