In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys break down Vice President JD Vance's visit to Plover, where he rallied about 300 supporters at Pointe Precision—a machining facility in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District—touting Trump-era economic wins like affordability and fraud reduction while stumping hard for Rep. Derrick Van Orden's reelection and boosting Gov. candidate Tom Tiffany's momentum.

They then tackle fresh charges recommended by the Wisconsin Elections Commission against 13 people tied to the failed 2024 recall effort against Assembly Speaker Robin Vos—accusations of fake signatures and false addresses on paperwork—calling it a dud attempt that fizzled and now faces criminal referrals.

The hosts discuss the disorderly conduct charge against Rep. Sylvia Ortiz-Velez for alleged threats against a Democratic colleague over Hispanic Heritage Month and veterans' resolutions in 2025, viewing it as politically motivated infighting amid her caucus drama.

The big doozy? The latest Marquette Law School Poll shows massive indecision: 65% of Democrats undecided in the gubernatorial primary, with State Rep. Francesca Hong edging out at 11% (tied with Mandela Barnes at 10% within margin of error), Sara Rodriguez at 6%, and others trailing. The hosts warn this fragmented field—now led by Hong in her second poll showing strength—could spell disaster for Democrats jockeying for position, risking a low-turnout primary mess that weakens their general election shot against a consolidated GOP.

In the 7th Congressional District race, new entrants pile in after Trump's January 2026 endorsement of Michael Alfonso. That includes one democrat.

Finally, they roast AG Josh Kaul for accepting funding from out-of-state billionaire-backed groups (like Bloomberg-linked entities) to support special prosecutors in DOJ cases, asking what could possibly go wrong with private money influencing public positions.
