In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys dive into the Wisconsin GOP’s internal turmoil, dissecting efforts by the executive committee to potentially oust Chairman Brian Schimming after recent electoral setbacks, with some members pushing for new leadership to unify the party. The state budget teeters on the brink of completion, but tensions flare as Democrats slam Republicans for finalizing program details before securing funding, accusing them of opaque deal-making. Gov. Tony Evers stands firm, threatening to veto any budget that excludes Child Care Counts funding, escalating the stakes. The hosts mourn the ambush shooting of two Milwaukee police officers, questioning a justice system that seems to falter repeatedly. For lighter fare, “Candy Stories” explores the irony of Waukesha County’s transgender trailblazer breaking glass ceilings, the quirky longest plank record, and unique Wisconsin foods.
