After we finished recording this episode, John said it was the best we’ve ever done. Not to get your hopes up.&nbsp;



A lot going on this episode. The overarching question is “who is the leader the United States needs?” A simple question that takes into some hot topics. I take on Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden, libertarians, civil war LARPers, and more. And John makes the case that President Garfield deserves more credit than he gets.&nbsp;



We mean it when we say it: this one is pretty good.

EP 56: Hodgepodge

Tough Talk is purposed towards the modeling and promotion of elevated discussion of relevant and often Tough Topics. Isaac and John noticed the breakdown of conversation as social media has been on the rise and we believe too many Americans are unwilling to have uncomfortable conversations about tough topics.
