In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys deliver Part 2 of the most recent episode, diving into the jam-packed political and cultural scene. The focus kicks off with Bill Berrien’s bold entry into the 2026 gubernatorial race, announced July 9, 2025, as a former Navy SEAL and businessman aligning himself with Trump’s “Wisconsin First” agenda. But with his past support for Nikki Haley and ranked-choice voting, the hosts question whether Berrien’s conservative credentials can withstand a tough GOP primary. Next, they tackle Minocqua’s Kirk Bangstad, the outspoken brewery owner stirring trouble again with his progressive activism, clashing with local conservatives. The episode pivots to nostalgia, lamenting Summerfest’s decline from its glory days due to recent fights marring the Milwaukee festival’s vibe. Wrapping up, the “Recommendation of the Week” is a perfect way to get your patriotic on and go watch a simple air show.
