In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys tackle the historic flooding in southeast Wisconsin, prompting Gov. Tony Evers’ August 11 state of emergency declaration and accusations of political posturing as he toured Wauwatosa damage sites. The hosts pivot to candidate announcements: Will Martin, who placed third in the 2022 Lt. Gov. race with 17% of the vote, teases another run, while Bill Berrien pushes constitutional carry to bolster his conservative credentials. Big news drops as a Fabrizio poll shows Rep. Tom Tiffany leading the GOP gubernatorial primary with 60% if endorsed by Trump, despite not yet declaring. During the state legislature’s summer break, the Democratic Latinx Caucus sparks a heated, symbolic resolution fight with no real policy impact, highlighting internal dysfunction. Evers stirs controversy by bypassing standard procedures to grant 4% pay raises to state employees. Finally, the hosts celebrate the Milwaukee Brewers’ 12-game winning streak, declared “Burger Time” in honor of their sizzling run.
