Civic Outlaws – Question Authority. Demand Accountability. Defend Liberty.

Due to a technical glitch, the first few minutes of today's broadcast apparently exercised their constitutional right to remain silent. Unfortunately, that missing segment contained the setup for the entire discussion.

The show began by examining a simple question: Who should be making public policy in Missouri?

Samuel opens with concerns regarding the continuing use of an Acting Supervisor at Missouri Alcohol & Tobacco Control and asks whether major policy decisions should be driven by officials who have never completed the full appointment and confirmation process envisioned by Missouri law.

From there, the discussion turns to:

• Missouri ATC leadership and accountability • Administrative agencies versus elected government • Catherine Hannaway and Kristen Templeton • Torch Electronics and gaming-machine enforcement • Unequal and selective enforcement concerns • Convenience stores, liquor license holders, and regulatory pressure • Judicial review and agency interpretation of statutes • Loper Bright and limits on administrative power • Sunshine Law transparency issues • MOLAG and licensing advocacy

At its core, this episode asks whether agencies should enforce policy—or create it.

Question Authority. Demand Accountability. Defend Liberty.

On today’s Civic Outlaws, Samuel Trapp examines Missouri’s final day of legislative session and the state’s continuing failure to resolve gaming-machine regulation. The episode targets ATC overreach, Catherine Hanaway’s gaming crackdown, liquor-license pressure, HB3154/SB1407 fingerprint authority, cannabis rescheduling complications, and the broader problem of agencies using uncertainty as power. Samuel also discusses Sunshine Law strategy, MOLAG, and why Missouri businesses deserve clear statutes, not enforcement by press release, advisory letter, or bureaucratic intimidation.

Civic Outlaws turns its attention to Missouri’s gaming-machine and liquor-license landscape, introducing MOLAG — the Missouri Licensing Advocacy Group — as a new organized response for operators, licensees, and business owners facing regulatory pressure. This episode explains why small businesses need coordination, information, advocacy, and protection before agencies define the battlefield for them. Civic Outlaws airs live every Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at damradio.com/live.
