I was out yesterday attending a funeral. AP Dylan has
been kind enough to reschedule her day to join us now. AP,
thanks a lot for doing that. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: How are you.
Speaker 3: I'm doing great and absolutely nowhere is there peace always
here for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate that, and so I guess. Also I
saw that there was a bit of some sort of
a mock funeral that you monitored today up in Raleigh.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, the House and Senate Democrat held a funeral
for all the bills that they filed that are still
in committee and didn't make crossover.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh that's so sad.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The sorry NCA House Press account on Axes actually formally
mocked them.
Speaker 3: With a oh that's a sad gift.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh they're bad. Bills didn't go anywhere. Oh that's too bad.
I actually read did you I forget what the bill was?
I read it earlier a couple of weeks ago. Somebody
introduced a bill like and the bill title took up
the whole first page.
Speaker 2: Did you see that bill? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's it's just such dumb assery and
virtue signaling, and they have no chance of getting any
of this stuff passed. At some point, you got to wonder, like,
why don't you just like try to work on some
things that might actually pass, that might be good for
your constituents, Because I'm sure the Republicans would enjoy the
headlines of a bipartisan deal that they could work with
you on something, right, But it doesn't seem like that's
the strategy.
Speaker 3: Well, what's interesting is the majority of the bills that
did pass crossover all. Most of them were nearly unanimous,
with maybe one or two Democrats not voting for them.
There were maybe a dozen or two bills where it
was sort of a split along partisan lines, but most
of those bills dealt with like public safety, like House
Bill three eighteen, which tightens up the loopholes that have
been exploited by certain sheriffs not to cooperate with ice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I call that one Gary's Law, named after Gary
not my Fault McFadden. Yeah, I call him Gary not
my fault McFadden here because nothing is ever his fault.
He is the hero or victim, He is never the
villain in any of these stories.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep. So you know, there are a lot of
common sense bills like that, you know, expanding you know,
our investments and digital currencies and that kind of thing.
There was pushback on that. There was pushback on updating
and advancing math and science changes and in the education sector.
And on the other side of the House, we had,
you know, a bill that was passed, you know, that
would ban putting plastic cutlery into go things to go
delivery for food. Another one would have banned octopus farming.
These are the not really priorities. No.
Speaker 1: Wait, the Democrats wanted to ban plastic knives into go
packs yep.
Speaker 3: And they wanted to be able to find restaurants who
didn't comply. Why why Yeah, less unless they're specifically requested.
They're not supposed to put those things in there because
plastic the environment at plastic bag thing went yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was thinking public safety like the UK
and all the knife attacks or something. No, oh, environmentalism. Okay,
that that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh yeah, yeah. I had a whole list of
these insane bills actually over on my sub stack. At
one point, I'll shoot those over to you and you
can share them with your readers.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well people can check it out too. It's called More
to the Story. It's on a substack platform More to
the Story. AP's also a reporter for the North State
Journal and sjonline dot com. You can reader work there,
in fact, on your substack. You had the story a
couple days ago about the FBI made the big announcement
of their nationwide crackdown on child abuse offenders. This was
last week, so this was a national effort and they
got some people in North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It was called Operation Restore Justice, and most of
the raids were conducted during the last week of April.
They had two hundred and five rust nationwide and there
were one hundred and fifteen children that were actually rescued
during some of these operations. And all of those one
hundred and fifteen fifteen, sorry, two hundred and five, there
were six that were in North Carolina or one had
actually lived North Carolina and moved over the border. And
I took a look at some of those folks, and
the vast majority of them, in fact, all of them
had private prior records for no issues like being arrested.
One was arrested in Alabama earlier this year. He's the
one who's got the ties to being on the sex
offender registry. He was convicted in nineteen eighty eight when
it was eighteen of sexual battery and fellony restraints of
a minor, so he was put on the sex registry
for that. So he was already on the radar of folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was one guy.
Speaker 3: A couple that were you know, and have GPS Spartan
of public safety records. They've got jail time records.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of them you identified, Terrell Sean Anderson, previously
of Charlotte, arrested by the FBI in Atlanta. He was
charged with distributing child sex abuse material, possession of child
sex abuse material, and then by my calculation, what you
got written here somewhere like he's looking at twenty five
plus in prison. The guy that was picked up in Oh,
this one Jonathan Robert Davlin of Huntersville, he's looking somewhere
around forty five plus years possession and access with intend
to view this kind of material as well. So and yeah,
one from Durham, one from Louisbourg, one from Wilmington, and
then one of Bolivia. Was that Bolivia? North Carolina? Yes, Okay,
I wasn't sure when I first read it. I was like, wait,
we picked up somebody, and okay, that makes a little
bit more sense then. And so you also had this
connection to and you did another story on this group
seven six four, seven sixty four.
Speaker 2: I'd never heard of this. What is seven sixty four?
Speaker 3: It is a global sex stortion terror network that formed
so three or four years ago by a guy who
was in his late teens early twenties at the time
out of I believe in Texas. He has since been
arrested and is like spending the rest of his life
in prison. But they basically do things like they'll find
a kid on roadblocks or on a social media platform
that they think is vulnerables, particularly females ages anywhere from
nine all the way up to sixteen or seventeen, and
they become their friend and they work on them mentally
and room them to do things like cut themselves, attack
their parents, arson, vandalism, new photos of themselves, which then
they uses leverage over these kids and it's global.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they groom them. And you mentioned roadblocks for
people who don't know, that's a video game that kids
play online with other people, and so these adults go
in there and pose as kids and then they strike
up friendships online and then they get the kid to
do these things and then they use that as extortion
material to get the kids to do worse. And yeah,
I was not aware of this organization seven six'.
Speaker 2: FOUR i think you're.
Speaker 3: Going to be hearing a lot more about them in
the coming. Months, okay this is just a tip of the.
Iceberg they arrested a number of these folks globally in
the last, year but since The trump administration came, in
they've made it a focus and two of those people
were involved in that organization or arrested last. Month one
of them was arrested in High, Point North, carolina a
guy Named Prossan nepaul who was twenty years.
Speaker 1: Old so all, right and you can read more about
that add more to the story as. Well real, quick
we've got about about a minute and a, half so
tell us all about The Power school data. Breach what
can you get to in about ninety?
Speaker 3: Seconds, Okay, well last week we sat down with The
department Of Public. Instruction they held an impromptu virtual press
conference and told us that The Power school breach that
occur at the end of late last, year at Which
Power school said all that data has been taken care,
Of they've paid the ransom and it's not going to
show up. Again, well it showed up again and last
week twenty of our districts received emails from quote threat
actors asking for bitcoin and other payment methods to get
the data.
Speaker 2: Back So Power school hasn't.
Speaker 3: Said who which district this, is but it evolves the
same data apparently as the original.
Speaker 1: Breach So Power school is what a system like an
operating system or.
Speaker 3: Something, Yes Power school is the student information data system
where all the grades are, kept contact, information parent, stuff
everything is in. There it's a dashboard with it's got
all the data on a. Kid teachers have profiles in
there as, well and their their profiles were breached as.
Well and this thing is used. Statewide it's going to
be changed. Though they're going through a different system In
july Called Infinite. Campus So Power school is going. Away
Power school came in and Under June atkinson through it
used to be owned By. Pearson pearson sold it off
and the people they sold it off to sort of
cobble together an entire district wide statewide system for. Us
normally it's just one district that'll pick up a news
Power school here or there in the, state But North
carolina was the only state at the time who used
it across all districts in the.
Speaker 1: State So Power school gets, hacked they get, breached they
get extorted for, bitcoin they pay off the, ransom and
then they, think, okay now the extortionists will leave us
alone and delete all of the, data and, surprise, surprise
they did not actually delete all of the. Data it
appears they actually did go ahead and put it out
on the dark web where others got.
Speaker 2: It that's what it.
Speaker 3: Looks, yes, Yes and then The Power school's offering credit
AND id theft monitoring Through. July they're trying to extend
that The North Carolina Attorney General's. Office THE doj website
also has credit monitoring credit freeze options for folks out.

Speaker 2: Com so last.
Speaker 1: Week we had a New board Of elections installed In
North Carolina State board Of elections brand new. Members this
was after The General assembly moved the appointment power away
from The governor's responsibilities and gave it to the State.
Auditor the Governor Josh, stein A, democrat and the State
Auditor Dave, bullock A, republican although he had voted In
democrat primaries for like twenty years. Prior so Now Dave
bullock is appointing the board, members and he did. So
he Named francis De luca as the new chairman of The.
Board francis De luca Of. Wilmington he And Bob ruccho
Of Catawba county are the new. Members Stacy eggers the.
Speaker 2: Fourth he was on.
Speaker 1: The board and remains on the. Board all three of
them Are. Republicans there's now A republican majority on The
board Of. Elections the two of the Three democrat members
that were on the board Remain Chavon millen And Jeff,
carman the former chairman of The board Of elections is
no longer, There, Okay so that's that was how that
all went. Down this was based on a ruling by
The North Carolina court Of appeals that blocked a lower court.
Ruling Josh stein had sued, saying you can't take these
powers from. Me the legislature, said, yes we, can because
they're not specifically designated to, you and so we can
move them around in the executive branch however we would,
like and a lower court agreed with the. Governor but
then The court Of appeals blocked that court ruling and, said,
no the legislative leaders can do. That the legislature can control.
That so De luca is now the. Chairman he Replaced
Democrat Alan hirsch at the first. Meeting and this is
according to the story at The Carolina journal dot. Com
the board then went into a closed session meeting for
just over thirty minutes to discuss legal and personnel, matters
including the appointment of a new executive. Director the pick
was decided ahead of time by The republican members of the.
Board this was made clear because a statement was put
out by the current executive, director well now Former Karen Brinson,
bell announcing that the board had decided to go with someone,
else and she handed out her statement before the meeting.
Began so she had written up a statement knowing she
was going to get, canned and she handed it out
to members of the media and everybody before the. Meeting
So bell is out and in as the new executive
director Is Sam. Hayes the new executive. Director hayes is
currently The general council For North Carolina House Speaker Destin.
Speaker 2: Hall, okay so he's a.
Speaker 1: Lawyer he was a lawyer general counsel in The speaker
of The house's. Office his two year term begins actually On,
thursday And millan Chon Chevon, Millen, democrat member of the, board,
SAID i think this is a shabby way to treat
a nationally admired executive election director and further that the
recent habit of changing the executive director whenever the composition
of The Election board changes runs counter to our goal
to boulder bolster people's faith in fair. Elections, yeah you
guys did. It this is actually now the. Norm see
this is WHAT i told. You you're not gonna like
it when these norms are applied to, you because the
first time that the executive director was canned for politics
was when The democrats took over After pat McCrory lost
To Roy. Cooper And cooper and the board had the
executive director Then Kim, strack they had her. Fired remember that,
name say her, Name Kim. Strack in, Fact egger's one
of the board. MEMBERS A republican board member pointed out
that there is in fact precedent for changing the executive director, position.
Speaker 2: Like When Roy cooper did.
Speaker 1: That i'll have more on that in a. Minute let
me wrap up This carolin A journal. Story So Karen
Brinson bell asks the, Chairman francis De, luca, twice if
she could make some remarks and thank the, staff but
the Three republicans voted to just adjourn and ended the
meeting before she. Could she then would read from her
prepared statement to you know people that just gathered around
her after the, meeting sort of like a to press,
conference and she read her statement, there saying it was
the greatest honor of her life and that she would
have liked to have continued to serve the county boards
of elections and the voters Of North carolina in that.
Capacity so she did not want to. Leave she didn't
want to be, fired and that's exactly why you don't
let her make the. Statement trust, ME i know a
thing or two about getting. FIRED i work in. Radio
they usually don't let you stick. Around when they fire,
you they don't put you back on the. Air and
when the board fires its executive, director they don't let
you make a statement afterwards in front of, everybody because
chances are you didn't want to get, fired you. Know she,
Said i've worked in the elections field at all levels
over the past nineteen, years and this is a very
different environment THAT i hope can be restored to the
civility that once.
Speaker 2: Existed this, WOMAN i tell you, what it's almost.
Speaker 1: Like maybe this makes sense if you have amnesia and
you didn't live through THE covid, election the collusive, settlement
There's oh, yeah we're gonna go back over. It we'll
give you the low lights and the high lights in a.
Minute here's a great. Idea how about making an escape

LIFETIME i am very excited to see what changes the
newly comprised or Constituted board Of elections will be. Doing
hopefully fingers crossed the super exciting and sexy topic OF lisp. Maintenance,
hmmm ah, man that's gonna be. Awesome like actually cleaning
up our voter. Rolls that would be. Fantastic maybe doing
a little bit of cross check with other, states you,
know interstate cross.
Speaker 2: CHECKING i. Know exciting. Times So.
Speaker 1: Sam hayes is the new executive director And Destin, hall
The speaker of The, house had previously Employed Sam hayes
as the general counsel in his office the, lawyer and he,
Said sam is going to be an excellent executive director
who will follow the law as passed by The General.
Assembly as my general Counsel sam has demonstrated exceptional, judgment,
professionalism and a deep commitment to public. SERVICE i am
confident that his leadership will serve the citizens of our
state with fairness and. Integrity, now the woman That sam is,
Replacing Karen Brinson. Bell she told reporters after the meeting
that she has been very fortunate to work With Sam
hayes and knows that he is knowledgeable about election, law
but with all of the lawsuits and such that he's
had to litigate as a general, counsel she, SAYS i
hope that that will serve him. Well it is, unfortunate,
though that they have taken a path where the individual
does not have practical election administration. Experience But i'm confident
that if he will work closely with the state board,
staff that he has some, incredible incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated
people who will see that we are handling elections. Well
so there's a little bit of a backhanded compliment, there.
OH i hope that his experience serves him. Well but you,
know he's never run an election because she was an
election executive director at the county level Before democrats elevated
her after they had to replace a couple of other
executive directors who had some, scandals but whatever doesn't. Matter
point is she had the experience and he does. It
AND i hope that he just relies on all The
democrat staffers. There, No i'm, kidding they're. Nonpartisan i'm sure
Now Karen Brinson belle is. Out but let's walk down memory.
Lane the year was twenty. Nineteen the executive director of
the State board Of elections was a woman by the
name Of Kimberly strack Strch, strack and she was doing
a good job and then she got. Fired she helped
to guide The board Of elections through the minefield of
the Ninth Congressional district election fraud. Scandal she had offered
strong suggestions to lawmakers about preventing future, fraud and some
of those recommendations actually became part of a truly Bipartisan
North Carolina house. Bill so why did she get? Fired
because she wasn't A democrat and The board Of elections
became Majority democrat After pat McCrory lost To Roy. Cooper
the firing happened at a meeting that Told North carolina
voters all the wrong things about the people in charge
of their. Elections it told them that party, matters not.
Fairness it told them that politics, rule not. Effectiveness, strack
who has led the board since twenty, thirteen was replaced
By Democrat Karen Brinson bell in a three to two
vote that split along party. Lines Why, well the board
chair at the, Time Robert, cordle explained unconvincingly That Brinson
bell's background fit the board's need to focus on training
local election officials for the twenty twenty, election something that
surely brought a smirk to the many veteran local election
directors across the. State this was The Charlotte observer Editorial.
Board The Charlotte Observer Editorial board even they could identify
the quote ugly double standard Regarding Kim. Strack Kim strack
was an investigator at The board Of, elections and When
pat McCrory became, governor he elevated her to run the.
Show she was doing a good job.
Speaker 2: And she went.
Speaker 1: In but here's the, Thing democrats didn't like her because
she was an. Investig if memory serves, correctly she was
the one that went After.
Speaker 2: Believe it Was Mike, Easley Jim black.
Speaker 1: Right she had a few high Profile democrat. Scalps she
had Some republicans, too but that didn't. Matter and so
the board chair, says we need somebody to train the
local elections. Officials our local election official In Mecklemburg County Michael.
Dickerson he's been doing this for thirty. YEARS i have
no doubt.
Speaker 2: That that.
Speaker 1: He does not Need Karen Brinson bell's. Training like the
guy knows what he's. Doing now back to The Charlotte
observer editorial from twenty, nineteen a more persuasive argument might
have been, simply these are the spoils of. Winning right
when you, win you get to name your. People that
would have been. Honest, Instead democrats launched an ugly attempt
at character. Assassination he had The North Carolina Democrat Party
Chair Wayne, goodwin does that name Ring A?
Speaker 2: Belle it.
Speaker 1: Should Wayne goodwin has been in charge of the colossal
and epic failure that is OUR. Dmv right now he
is stepping, aside but at the, time six years, ago
he was the chair of The Democrat party Of North,
carolina and he Accused Kim strack of Protecting republicans for
nearly two.
Speaker 2: Decades his, words she's.
Speaker 1: Unaffiliated the reality is That strack and the board under
her have vigorously pursued Both democrats And, republicans most recently
when she Resisted coles to Leave Mark harris.
Speaker 2: Alone in the ninth.
Speaker 1: District Even Cordal Robert, cordle the board Chair, democrat said
That strack had done it an excellent job for the.
State among her, offenses according To Wayne, goodwin the big
one her Husband phil see Phil strack is an, attorney
And Phil strack regularly represents The republican led legislature in court,
battles and some of those court battles involved election law.
Issues but that's one of the reasons Why Kim strack
had to. Go she had claimed too Many democrat scalps
as an investigator uncovering, wrongdoing and she's married to a
lawyer who represents the, evil Mean republican. Lawmakers strack did
her job the way any party should want it. Done
Phil strack, right he's representing his. Clients The observer editorial,
concluded if there was ever a moment not to reply
an elections director because of, party it was. Now The
democrats did so, anyway and they justified it in the
worst possible. Way it was unseemly and. Hypocritical it was
politics that ushered Into Karen brinson Bell.
Speaker 2: Era what did she? Do we'll go over that.
Speaker 1: Next all, right if you're listening to this, show you

Transparent So Karen Brinson bell's term as executive director of
The State board Of elections is.
Speaker 2: Over, huzzah.
Speaker 1: Huzza her tenure was not without, criticism according to The
North State journal piece by Ap dylan that we interviewed
earlier in the, program but not about, this but she,
Wrote Brinson bell's tenure wasn't without. CRITICISM a secret legal
Agreement Brinson bell entered into during the twenty twenty election
cycle with former go To Democrat party Attorney Mark elias
involved elections, changes some of which changed rules after voting had,
begun which is a violation of The Percel protocol, basically
which is a presidential case that says you don't change
the rules of an election during the election because it's
too confusing for. Voters it creates administrative, burdens right you
just not even during, elections even like in the run
up to the election. Period like judges generally do not
like changing rules when it comes to elections in a you,
know the months preceding an, election and we saw changes
after the early voting had already. Begun Brinson bell in
the agreement became the subject of a twenty twenty One
Senate redistricting And Election committee, hearing and a federal judge
later ruled that some of the changes violated equal protection. Laws,
now if you weren't here in twenty, twenty you were
probably locked down in some, state or you were living
free or in a state that did not lock. Down
we got locked, down And Karen Brinson bell had gone
to the legislature and demanded changes to the, rules and
the legislature, said, no you're not going to do those
changes on your. Own we will make some changes that we,
think as the legislature we think or, needed and they
did so they made some, changes but they didn't make
all of. Them so then she tried to go through
this other commission or something to try to get the changes.
Made that, way she got blocked, there and then some
left wing groups sued coincidentally to enact the very changes
that she wanted. Changed the lawsuit named the State board Of.
Elections The Attorney general's office then defended the state that
would Be Josh stein's, Office and so you've got The
board Of elections controlled By democrats appointed by The democrat
governor you've got The attorney General, democrat and you've got
the plaintiffs in the case that are All democrat. Aligned,
now the legislature was also part of the lawsuit as a,
defendant but they were not included in the settlement. Agreement
so all of The democrat aligned groups and agencies and,
lawyers they all get together and they enter into a,
settlement an agreement to make the litigation go away by
basically doing everything That Karen Brinson bell wanted done and
the plaintiffs that sued her wanted, done over the objections
of the legislative, defendants who were not even apprized of
any potential. Settlement this is why they called it a collusive.
Agreement does this sound? Familiar does this sound strikingly similar
to the very thing that we are seeing with our
state or city council rather In charlotte with the payout
to the police. Chief this collusive agreement.
Speaker 2: In twenty.
Speaker 1: Nineteen this is from The Blue Ridge, Times Tim. Wyginton
in twenty, nineteen control of The State board Of elections
was seized by The. Democrats they Fired Kim. Strack AS i,
Mentioned Karen Brinson bell then led the State board into
the collusive settlement with progressive groups and then lied to
The General assembly about it in twenty twenty. Two by
the way that she did lie to, them they tried to, say,
OH i didn't change any of the, rules but she.
Did and they're, like you've changed the. Rules like you're
saying you didn't change the, rules but here are the
rules that you just. Changed in twenty twenty, two under her,
leadership The North Carolina State board Of elections denied ballot
access to progressive groups in a bid to Help Democrat
Sherry beasley in Her senate, campaign in a move that
was later overturned by a federal. Judge, right they tried
to block ballot access for The Green party, candidate and
the was A justice For All Cornell west. Right they
tried to block their ballot access because they didn't want
them to siphon votes away From Sherry. Beasley in twenty twenty,
four The Fair Election, fund a nonpartisan, group released a
report that highlighted serious issues with election administration In North,
carolina particularly in regard to voter registration list. Maintenance so,
YES i am happy that The Karen brinston bell era
or error is over.
