What's up QAA listeners? The

0:06

fun games have begun.

0:09

I found a way to connect to the internet. I'm

0:14

sorry, boy.

0:15

Welcome listener to the 234th

0:18

premium chapter of the QAA podcast,

0:20

the Tuttle Twins episode. As always,

0:23

we are your hosts, Jake Rakitansky, Liv

0:25

Aker, Julian Fields, and Travis

0:27

View.

0:28

What's up fellow libertarian

0:31

children? Are you ready to

0:33

have some fun and learn some things along the way?

0:35

Because today we're going to be exploring

0:37

the Tuttle Twins, a kids

0:39

book series turned cartoon that's chock

0:41

full of right wing gripes and propaganda.

0:44

So kids, are you ready to learn why

0:46

Bitcoin good and Karl Marx

0:48

bad? Wow,

0:54

you guys sound younger than I remember. The

0:57

Tuttle Twins book series was launched

0:59

in 2014 by a Mormon man

1:02

from Utah named Connor Boyack.

1:05

Of course he's from Utah. And of course

1:07

he's a Connor. And of course he looks

1:09

like a toe.

1:11

Three years before that in 2011, he founded the Libertas

1:15

Institute, a nonprofit think

1:18

tank educational organization that promises

1:20

to free individuals from the tyranny of an over

1:23

controlling government. My favorite thing

1:25

they do is an event called the Children's

1:27

Entrepreneur Market for kids between

1:29

the age of five and 16 at which

1:32

quote, parents are welcome but are strongly

1:34

encouraged to stand back and let the children

1:36

deliver their pitch and close the sale. Always

1:39

be closing kids. God, could you imagine

1:41

how over it

1:41

would be for you if your kid, your parent

1:44

takes you to this at like five? Go sell

1:46

something kid. I'd probably be so much better

1:48

with money. That's true. I want Connor

1:50

to be my daddy. Now the running

1:53

joke online is that libertarians cannot

1:55

help themselves. They always end up debating

1:57

the age of consent. That's a pretty

1:59

cruel.

1:59

generalization or so I thought

2:02

before I googled Connor Boyak age of consent

2:04

and found a podcast episode he co-hosted

2:06

in 2018 titled what is

2:08

an appropriate age of consent? God damn

2:11

it. Is

2:13

it is it okay for for

2:15

example two 15 year olds

2:17

to engage in sexual relations?

2:20

Okay if that's okay then

2:22

is it okay for a 15 and a 35 year old?

2:24

You know like right if they can consent

2:27

then can they truly consent? These

2:29

are really tricky questions and I can see why

2:31

a lot of people have been tempted to increase that age.

2:33

Oh my god where are

2:36

the the people crying about

2:38

groomers on these people? I mean this is

2:40

literally someone who's talking hypothetical

2:43

situations about sleeping with

2:45

a 15 year old as a 35 year old

2:48

making educational materials for

2:50

children. When he recorded this in 2018 Connor

2:52

was 36 years old. They fucking

2:54

rule. He has some pretty

2:56

amazing

3:02

tweets

3:06

about his marriage I have to say so I

3:09

thought we'd read a couple. He says over

3:11

the past decade my wife and I have

3:13

had scores of families over for dinner maybe 2%

3:16

of them reciprocated. That means 50 couples

3:19

you have over and one of

3:21

them

3:22

invites

3:26

you back.

3:29

For a while I thought it was something about us it

3:31

is but then I heard from others who are

3:34

outgoing inviting that they experience

3:36

the same thing. What do you think? I

3:38

think that's statistically impossible. Yeah.

3:40

They can't see how that works. Yeah.

3:43

Can you imagine an existence where you

3:45

like you know you invite somebody over for

3:47

supper and they stay and they're out the

3:49

door and you close the door behind them and you turn

3:52

to your wife and you go alright well

3:54

let's see let's

3:57

see let's see if we get invited back

3:59

for

3:59

supper. I imagine the couple leaving and

4:02

being like, okay, well he spoke

4:04

for most of it about the Fed.

4:07

Let's never do this again. He asked us how old our daughter

4:09

was? The

4:12

weirdest part was after they brought

4:14

out the piece, he forced me to open

4:16

my phone and download Coinbase.

4:18

I don't even know what that is.

4:22

A second tweet, My wife already

4:24

has someone in mind for who I should consider

4:26

marrying in case she, my wife, happens

4:29

to pass away. That's weird, right?

4:31

Crying face emoji. Yep. So

4:34

good stuff. We love whatever's

4:36

going on in Utah. It's good

4:39

and we love it, folks. Also

4:41

maybe you should look inward if your

4:44

wife is casually bringing up like, oh

4:46

yeah, you know, just in case I go away, I think

4:48

you and Shirley

4:52

would be a great match. Yeah.

4:55

So yeah, so basically, so

4:57

yeah, my wife is fantasizing about dying.

5:00

That's weird, right? My

5:02

wife, you know,

5:05

she, my wife, fantasizing

5:11

about dying so that I can marry

5:13

the neighbor. She keeps saying, you're gonna be

5:15

fine. You're gonna be just fine.

5:18

Anyways, we are here to talk about

5:20

the Tuttle Twins. So I went to Boyak's

5:23

website and the first thing I was greeted by

5:25

was large text asking, are your

5:27

kids being brainwashed? And a video of

5:29

Boyak's two children promoting his book.

5:32

Hey, parents, kids like us have

5:34

a problem and it's one that you can help

5:37

solve. But most parents aren't even

5:39

aware the problem exists. Here's the

5:41

issue. Most schools today aren't

5:43

teaching young kids some really important concepts

5:46

like how the economy works or what our rights

5:49

are or the definition of true laws. That's

5:51

before you were born. Schools often

5:53

taught the principles of a free society.

5:55

But not anymore. That's why our

5:57

parents have us read.

6:01

These books teach children about

6:03

economic and civic truths that we need to learn,

6:05

and there's nothing else like them in the world. Each

6:08

book covers a different topic, helping

6:10

us learn how the world really works. For

6:12

example, these books teach kids things

6:15

like how the free market is the key to prosperity,

6:18

the history of the money we use, what

6:21

our rights are and why we should protect them,

6:24

how kids can be entrepreneurs. I

6:26

definitely want to be my own boss

6:28

someday, and these books will help. Kids

6:31

like us absolutely love these books, maybe

6:34

because they don't treat us like little children.

6:35

That's... that's

6:38

so gross. But

6:40

then who are the little children? There's no little children

6:43

then?

6:44

Like what? If the little children aren't treated as

6:46

little children, then what do we even have? Are

6:48

little children just like the government invented

6:50

that concept? Also like, even in Canada,

6:52

like you're being taught things that are pretty

6:54

close to that. Yeah, public

6:56

curriculum, it's not like capitalism is fed,

6:59

and Karl Marx is actually based. I mean, these

7:01

kids are fucking homeschooled. So what

7:03

the fuck would you know about the goddamn school system?

7:06

You just fucking turn on the TV and have

7:08

people complaining about it, and you just assume, yep,

7:10

that's clearly what's going on there. Guess it's just

7:12

a, you know, a critical race theory

7:15

all day long. The book series has

7:17

released 13 volumes so far, the

7:19

latest being titled The Tunnel Twins

7:21

and the 12 Rules Boot Camp, in which the

7:23

twins teach their uncle Brock about

7:26

the 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson.

7:28

Oh. So, it's just good

7:30

company. So here is Connor Boyak

7:32

introducing himself. Hi, my name is Connor

7:35

Boyak. I am a husband, the father of

7:37

two, president of a freedom fighting

7:39

organization. I'm a beekeeper, a lover

7:41

of ska music. Jesus

7:44

Christ. I'm so sorry

7:46

to ska lovers out there, but that cracked

7:49

me up so much, a lover of ska music

7:52

and beekeeper. And a part

7:54

of an unnamed freedom

7:56

group. Well, it's the Libertas

7:59

thing, you know. And they mostly, they're kind

8:01

of all over the place. I mean, they do a bunch of really

8:03

annoying libertarian stuff, and then they'll do the

8:05

like small good percent of libertarian stuff

8:07

like, you know, you shouldn't arrest people for

8:10

possession of pot or whatever. Right. And

8:12

you should listen to Mighty Mighty Boss Tones.

8:15

Yeah. Yeah, we need to replace

8:17

the national anthem with a skanking version

8:19

of it. In this introductory video,

8:22

Connor explains how he came up with the idea

8:24

for the Tuttle Twins. And I'm also the author

8:26

of the popular Tuttle Twins books. The free

8:28

market think tank that I founded, Libertas

8:30

Institute, changes laws dealing with

8:33

property rights, free markets, education,

8:35

freedom, and much more. A few

8:38

years ago, when my kids were still pretty young,

8:40

they would ask me what I did that day for work. And

8:42

I struggled to know how to talk to them about those

8:45

types of ideas. I began to think, you know,

8:47

how do you teach children about things like the proper

8:49

role of government or economics? So

8:51

like many parents, I turned to Amazon, hoping to

8:54

find a book that would help me teach my kids

8:56

about the principles of freedom. And I

8:58

couldn't find anything. The lack

9:00

of resources was actually pretty surprising

9:02

and frustrating. It made me realize that there was

9:04

a huge need for this type of material. They don't

9:07

need resources because they can just read the things

9:09

that like adult libertarians are

9:11

reading. Because it's like a children's

9:13

understanding of how the world works by

9:16

itself.
