Ep.13 - Please Tommy, No | 8/11/25

In this latest episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, the guys talk about former Gov. Tommy Thompson’s tease of a 2026 gubernatorial run at age 85, made during his headline-grabbing August 5, 2025, Wisconsin State Fair appearance — where he declared, “My mind is sharp as hell.”

We cover U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany’s own State Fair stop, where he blasted Madison’s open-border policies and dropped big hints about his own governor run. Plus — the Milwaukee County GOP straw poll shocker you didn’t see coming.

Bill Berrien’s rough week keeps rolling after a painfully awkward news story fails to erase doubts over his past Nikki Haley endorsement, raising questions about his conservative street cred. We also take aim at Gov. Tony Evers’ veto of a bill to protect gig workers like Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash drivers — and why conservatives say he just turned his back on Wisconsin’s working class.

And we finish with some Candy spotlighting Wisconsin’s own Winnie the Pooh.
