Changes to off-sales, Martyn's Law, amendments to smoking rules and introduction of Digital IDs are all key developments that those owning and running taprooms need to be aware of. So with that in mind, we welcomed Piers Warne of TLT to our Brewers Lectures in Bristol last month. Piers has 20- plus years' experience licensing premises for the sale of alcohol and other licensable activities. This includes licensing breweries for direct sales to customers, online sales and for tap rooms. He has acted on the licensing around sale and purchase of major breweries and small start-ups across the country and on registrations for AWRS and other relevant certificates. As well as breweries, Piers has licensed major events, such as the King's Coronation, large event spaces and festivals and every kind of pub, bar and nightclub you can think of.

Linda Murphy discusses the controversial statewide longitudinal data system bill in Oklahoma, highlighting its origins in the Obama administration's stimulus money and its connection to the Common Core State Standards. She explains how the system, initially designed for aggregate reporting, was transformed to collect student-level data, raising privacy concerns. Murphy also touches on the influence of the Hope Foundation and the Oklahoma Prevention Needs Analysis survey, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding funding and the potential misuse of data. Linda Murphy discusses the Oklahoma Prevention Needs Assessment, a survey given to sixth graders that includes questions about gender identity and sexual orientation. She highlights the controversial nature of these questions and the potential for long-term data collection on students' attitudes, values, and beliefs. Murphy also mentions a federal labor report from the Clinton administration that included a student data profile with subjective evaluations, such as honesty ratings, and warns about the dangers of subjective judgments in data collection and potential misuse of this information. Linda Murphy discusses the approval of an AI platform from Carnegie and concerns about data collection in education. She highlights the need to dismantle the federal data system and emphasizes the importance of aligning data collection with state law and values. Murphy also mentions the role of Megan Offedil, hired to run the Office of Education Quality and Accountability, and her vision for transforming it into a P20 data hub. A Senate bill, amended before voting, prohibits the state's new data system from serving the same purpose as the state student identification system or directly reporting data to federal agencies. The bill also prohibits the collection of personal data, including religion, political affiliation, health insurance status, and medical information. The goal is to prevent top-down control of student programs and curriculum, emphasizing local school board and parent involvement. Linda Murphy discusses transparency and regulations regarding student privacy data, highlighting the 2013 student privacy data bill. She offers to send additional documents and encourages listeners to like, share, and subscribe. _______________________________________________________________   Visit my Patreon Page to access all the links mentioned in the show.

New Zealand First has proposed new legislation to define the term "woman" in law as "an adult human biological female". New Zealand First leader Winston Peters spoke to Corin Dann.

New Zealand First has introduced a member's bill that would do away with what it calls the "woke ideology" around the subject of womanhood. Labour leader Chris Hipkins spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Winston Peters says the term 'woman' needs protection - by a bill legally defining it as an adult human biological female. MP Jenny Marcroft's proposed Members bill would legislate gender to biological sex, essentially meaning transgender people could not legally align with their identities. The New Zealand First leader says having to write the law this way is unusual, but it has become 'critical'. "And the fact of the matter is - that this is a case where women, who are deserving protection and support in many other occasions, are simply not getting it in our law."

Armed American Radio, gun rights, Florida State University shooting, Second Amendment, gun control, evil, political agenda, self-defense, Ryan Petty, Mark Walters Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio's Daily Defense, host Mark Walters discusses the recent shooting at Florida State University with guest Ryan Petty, a Parkland father. They explore the implications of gun violence, the political responses to such tragedies, and the ongoing debate surrounding the Second Amendment. The conversation emphasizes the reality of evil in society and the importance of self-defense rights. As news unfolds about the FSU shooting, they critique the immediate calls for gun control and reflect on the failures of past legislation. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to support their rights and remain vigilant against tyranny. Takeaways Evil is a real and present danger in society. Political agendas often exploit tragedies for their own gain. Gun control measures do not effectively prevent violence. The Second Amendment is crucial for self-defense. Legislation cannot replace personal responsibility for safety. The media often highlights mass shootings while ignoring defensive gun uses. Tragedies like the FSU shooting highlight the need for armed presence in schools. The Parkland bill did not prevent further violence at FSU. Understanding the nature of evil is essential for personal safety. Support for the Second Amendment is vital in combating tyranny. titles Evil and Gun Control: A Real Conversation The Reality of Gun Violence in America Florida State Shooting: A Call to Action Understanding Evil: The Need for Self-Defense Political Agendas and Tragedies: A Discussion

On tonight's episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast, Courtenay welcomes Colorado State Representative Ken DeGraaf for an in-depth discussion on the latest legislative battles over parental rights and the controversial push for transgender policies in Colorado. Rep. DeGraaf, a vocal critic of recent state bills, will break down the implications of legislation like HB 1312, which he argues undermines parental authority by requiring courts to consider “misgendering” or “deadnaming” as forms of “coercive control” in custody disputes. According to DeGraaf, these measures could strip custody from parents who do not affirm their child's chosen gender identity, effectively compelling parents to endorse gender transitions or risk losing their children. The conversation will explore how these legislative efforts, backed by progressive lawmakers and advocacy groups, are framed as anti-discrimination protections but, in DeGraaf's view, represent a direct threat to family autonomy and children's safety. He contends that such bills pave the way for irreversible medical interventions on minors—procedures he describes as mutilation and castration—while silencing parental concerns and labeling opposition as hate speech. Listeners will also hear DeGraaf's perspective on the broader cultural and political climate in Colorado, where parental rights groups have been compared to hate organizations by bill sponsors, further polarizing the debate. Drawing on his experience as a legislator and Air Force veteran, DeGraaf will share why he believes standing up for parental rights is essential in the face of what he calls an “onslaught of leftist legislation”.
