> All right. Welcome back. An update now to a story that we've been following for you for weeks. The FBI executing a search warrant at the Fulton County Elections Office where ballots are stored yesterday as part of a probe in the 2020 presidential election where Joe Biden got 81 million votes. And our next guest was there filming FBI agents loading boxes into trucks and confronting Fulton County Commissioner Dana Barrett, who's now running for Secretary of State in Georgia. This means if this woman wins, she'll be in charge of all future elections. We went around Fulton County the last few weeks and we see that people are currently registered to vote in places like empty lots, homeless shelters that closed 10 years ago. What would you do if you become Secretary of State to address that? I'm not going to reply to conspiracy theories. It's not conspiracy. It's a current, you can currently go on to voter rolls, purchase them for $45 and go there with us. We will gladly take you if you want to. I appreciate what you're saying. I'm not going to respond to conspiracy theories. One of the most important counties out there in the United States. I think what you're doing is extremely dangerous. All right, the man behind those questions right there, independent journalist David Kate back with us. David, good to have you back. I want to play you one more clip of you asking that same Commissioner Barrett, another really basic question. It took me $45 to purchase the voter rolls, you can do that as well for the Fulton County. You can see that people are registered to vote from empty lots. They're registered to vote at a Marda bus station. Commissioner, if you're going to be running for Secretary of State and that involves maintaining clean voter rolls, one of the most important counties out there in the United States. I think what you're doing is extremely dangerous. Why is it dangerous? Because you're spreading conspiracy theories. It's not a conspiracy theory. Do you have $45? I'm not undermining it. I'm not saying people are voting there. Oh yeah, it's all a conspiracy theory, David. Why do you think these people are so adversarial whenever somebody asks them about elections in the state of Georgia? Why is that such a controversial issue? Thanks Rob for having me back. It's good to be back. It's a good question, honestly, and that's all we've been trying to investigate the last few weeks. I had no idea who this lady was when she arrived to the scene, but the way she sounded when she arrived to the scene seemed like she was important. And I know that there's only one Republican on that committee that oversees the states or the counties commission. And of course, right away I asked her, what are you going to do since you're running for Georgia Secretary of State Office, what are you going to do about the voter rolls? And the fact that she called me a conspiracy theorist right away is outrageous. All you have to do, as I said in that video, is purchase the voter rolls and you can do the same thing actually offered to take her and show her so she doesn't even have to spend the $45. Although I know she has it. She makes about $500 a week or a month in her elected role right there. But I have no idea why we were still trying to figure why Democrats especially act this way when you ask him such a simple question. I don't get it, especially six years after the 2020 election. Why are they so defensive? The last time you were on, you told us about the thousands of people who are allegedly registered to vote all across Georgia in abandoned homes, UPS stores, churches, parking lots, under bridges. We reached out to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and he gave us this statement, quote, as Secretary of State, I've made Georgia the best, most secure state for fair elections by using every available tool to keep our voter rolls accurate, including citizenship verification and systems that flag voters potentially registered at business addresses or mailbox stores. He's running for governor. Now, do you agree with anything he said in that statement? No, not at all. Maybe they're doing a good job making sure these people don't end up voting, although it seems through various FOIA requests of people have submitted that people do end up actually submitting election ballots, especially in the 2020 election from there. But our main issue, what we're trying to resolve here with the state, especially with the Secretary of State's office, is why is it so simple for me to go there and see for myself that obviously nobody lives there. But based on the Secretary of State's registration rolls, people are actively registered to vote from there. Why wouldn't they just simply go investigate and purge and why every time we bring this up to them, like we brought this up to the Secretary of State, why does he have to respond like this? Yeah. He went on to say that Congress must, quote, update the National Voter Registration Act, as I've repeatedly called for, so that voters can be removed immediately once they're determined to be ineligible. It doesn't take Congress to do that, does it? We know that. Why can't he do that right now as Secretary of State? It would be great if you'd come on Newsmax on your show, perhaps, and actually answer these very simple questions, right? Yeah, we've invited him on, repeatedly. We've invited him on. Yeah, absolutely. And I know that he keeps turning down all inquiries, especially after we brought this back into light. And I'm sure after the FBI raiding the Fulton County's election office yesterday, he seriously doesn't want to cover this at all or talk about this, especially as he's running for governor of Georgia. It's a very simple question, Secretary of State. Why are people actively registered to vote in places like empty lots? It's very simple to remove them, as you said, Rob. Yeah, and again, forget about conspiracy theories. It's not about that. We bring it up because it should matter. Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by what? A little more than 11,000 votes in Georgia in 2020. This is clearly a state where every vote matters. These are questions that everybody should want definitive answers to. Here's another Fulton County official reacting to the FBI asking questions about who is registered to vote in Fulton County. Take a look. This is an attempt to take your vote away. This is all about November 2026, about the primary on May 19th and then the November election. He does not want the midterm elections to take away his power. So he's trying to create chaos. So this is what he does. Chaos in Minnesota, chaos in Fulton County. We are a target. Protect your vote at all costs. I'm telling you, everybody always says your life depends on it. Oh, your life does depend on it this time. Okay. And this is getting the attention of the White House. The president reposted our last segment together. He's aware of this. He's aware of what's going on. I think he wants answers to. I think he's wanted answers for a long time. Again, do you have any sense as to why these people might be so defensive about this one single issue? That's something that we're still trying to investigate. We're figuring it out and it always revolves around money, but we don't want to make any claims, especially here that we're not fully believe in yet, but we're definitely investigating that. But for the commissioner, again, open invitation to her and everybody that's an elected official in Georgia, come around with us, see these places for yourself. We'll take you to lunch afterwards and we can discuss it. We just want you to be open minded and see it for yourself. I wasn't open minded until I saw these places. And now I'm trying to figure out why so many elected officials that have the power to do something about this are doing exactly what you constantly see them doing. David, I'm in the exact same boat. I appreciate everything you're doing. I know a lot of people at home appreciate it as well. This is about answers to questions that shouldn't be so difficult to answer, and we look forward to having you back. David Kate, thank you.

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-09-09T03:30:30.413Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Summary

This media-only post amplifies a news segment reviving 2020 election-fraud claims tied to an FBI action at the Fulton County, GA elections office, six years after certification and multiple audits found no widespread fraud. With no original text, stylometric and defense-mechanism analysis of the subject is not possible; the analyzable behavior is selection. The clip frames a citizen journalist's confrontation with an election commissioner (now a Secretary of State candidate) as exposing suppressed truth, brands her denial as evasive, and implicitly extends the grievance to Georgia's Republican Secretary of State, who has publicly rebutted similar claims — illustrating that this narrative functions as an in-group loyalty test transcending party lines. This fits a persistent contamination-sequence narrative (the 2020 "win" corrupted by fraud) and a paranoid-spectrum schema toward electoral institutions that shows no evidentiary closure despite the passage of time. Danger is rated elevated, not high, because no explicit violent or eliminationist language appears; however, publicly naming and delegitimizing individual election officials during a week marked by other politically charged violence (the Pretti and Omar incidents) carries a documented history of downstream harassment risk. Authorship attribution rests solely on early-morning ET posting time, a weak single-factor signal, and is capped at low confidence — it speaks only to who selected the clip, not to any words, since none exist.

## Post Analysis: 2026-01-30 Media-Only Repost (Fulton County FBI Raid Segment)

**Nature of the post:** No original text from the subject. The act under analysis is selection and amplification of a cable-news-style segment covering an FBI search of the Fulton County, GA elections office, framed around a 2020-election fraud narrative, featuring independent journalist David Kate confronting Commissioner Dana Barrett (a candidate for GA Secretary of State) over voter-roll irregularities. The segment's claims, tone, and phrasing belong to the broadcast participants, not to the subject.

### Level 1 (Traits)
Not directly assessable — no first-person text. The choice of content is weakly suggestive of low Openness/values-rigidity (continued investment in a settled 2020-election dispute six years on) and low interpersonal Agreeableness-by-association (amplifying an adversarial confrontation), but these are inferences about curatorial behavior, not verified trait expressions. Confidence: low.

### Level 2 (Characteristic Adaptations)
**Agency motive:** vindication-seeking — the clip functions as "new evidence" supporting the long-standing claim that the 2020 election was fraudulent, six years after the fact.
**Schema:** the electoral system (and officials who defend it) remains suspect/adversarial; journalists/allies who "just ask questions" are persecuted for truth-telling; election administrators are cast as evasive and hostile ("I'm not going to reply to conspiracy theories" is highlighted as damning).

### Level 3 (Narrative Identity)
This fits a long-running **contamination sequence**: the 2020 "victory" (as he frames it) was corrupted by fraud, and every subsequent piece of ambiguous evidence (a $45 voter-roll purchase, an FBI evidence transfer, stale registrations) is folded into the ongoing "un-redemption" story. The subject casts himself implicitly as the vindicated party; David Kate and Barrett serve as proxy hero/antagonist; Raffensperger (a fellow Republican who disputes the narrative) is the **contrasting other** despite shared party — illustrating that the grievance transcends partisan lines and functions as a loyalty test.

### Level 4 (Clinical Indicators)
**Paranoid features (moderate):** continued suspicion of election administration absent new dispositive evidence; persistence six years after the 2020 election and multiple audits/certifications is a notable deviation from evidentiary closure.
**Narcissistic features (low-moderate):** the clip's utility to the subject is self-referential — validating his own long-asserted claim of a stolen election.
**Defense mechanism — distortion (pathological level):** amplifying content that reframes a routine document-preservation/legal matter and anecdotal registration irregularities as confirmation of large-scale fraud reshapes reality to fit a pre-existing grievance rather than updating on settled outcomes.
**Reality distortion / epistemic closure:** the segment explicitly brands the official who resists the narrative as "spreading conspiracy theories," while the journalist insists "it's not a conspiracy theory" — amplifying this exchange reinforces an in-group/out-group truth test consistent with epistemic closure dynamics documented in prior posts.

### Rhetorical/Propaganda Techniques (of the amplified content)
Cherry-picked anecdote generalized to systemic claim ($45 voter-roll purchase → "clean voter rolls" indictment); loaded/leading questioning; framing dissent as evasion ("why are they so defensive?"); implicit appeal to authority ("independent journalist").

### Danger Assessment: Elevated
No explicit violent or eliminationist language. However, the segment publicly names and adversarially frames two election officials (Barrett, and by extension Raffensperger) in a context of heightened, ongoing political violence risk (concurrent events this week include the Pretti shooting fallout and the Omar assault). Repeated targeting of named election administrators as dishonest or complicit in fraud carries a documented history of downstream harassment risk toward election workers. Rated elevated rather than high/critical due to absence of explicit calls to action or dehumanizing language.

### Authorship Attribution
No stylometric evidence exists (no original text). Attribution rests solely on posting time and pattern: 12:41:57 UTC converts to approximately 7:41 AM ET (Trump was most likely at Mar-a-Lago or Washington in late January; EST applies either way). This is an early-morning hour consistent with the subject's documented habit of personal, unsupervised posting before staff business hours begin, but it also falls within a range where staff could plausibly queue content ahead of a workday. Given the total absence of textual markers, this is weak, single-factor evidence bearing only on who selected/posted the clip — not on authorship of any words, since none exist. Confidence is capped at low as instructed.

## Authorship Analysis

**Uncertain** (score: 40%)

### Indicators

- Posting time ~7:41 AM ET is an early-morning hour plausible for personal posting but not diagnostic
- No text present, so no stylometric, grammatical, or idiosyncratic-error evidence is available
- Content selection (an adversarial news segment reinforcing his long-standing election-fraud narrative) is thematically consistent with his known personal preoccupations, which weakly favors personal selection over routine staff scheduling

## Psychological Profile

### State

**Mixed State**

**Trigger:** Maintenance (Ongoing FBI Fulton County elections-office action reported in the days prior; no acute personal injury identifiable in the clip itself.)

Sentiment: -0.25

### Clinical

**Malignant Narcissism:**
- Narcissistic: 30%
- Antisocial: 10%
- Paranoid: 50%
- Sadism: 5%

**Defense Mechanisms:**
- distortion (pathological)

**Cognitive Complexity:**
- Complexity: 0%

**Parasocial Techniques:**
- Amplifying a citizen-journalist confrontation to position an ordinary voter-roll inquiry as suppressed truth

## Danger Assessment

**ELEVATED**

### Indicators

- Public naming and adversarial framing of a named election commissioner/candidate (Dana Barrett) as dishonest/evasive
- Extension of the grievance to a fellow Republican official (Raffensperger) who rebuts the narrative, illustrating loyalty-test dynamics
- Occurs amid a period of heightened political violence risk (concurrent Pretti/ICE and Omar/vinegar-assault events), raising downstream harassment risk toward named election workers

### Gaslighting

- Amplified content brands the official's denial of fraud claims as itself suspect ('I'm not going to reply to conspiracy theories' is presented as an admission of evasiveness rather than a legitimate response)
- Reinforces a six-year-unresolved claim of 2020 election fraud despite certification and audits, treating the dispute as still 'current'

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**A 1 A.M. attack on a dead nurse, a Fed chair by breakfast, then eleven hours of silence.**

Trump posted just nine times, all of it packed into two short bursts — a few overnight posts around 1 AM and then a rapid run just before 8 AM. The overnight stretch included a personal attack on Alex Pretti, the nurse killed by federal agents the week before, whom he called an agitator and possible insurrectionist. By dawn he had switched to presidential business, naming Kevin Warsh as his pick for Federal Reserve chair and then spending four straight posts on the announcement, including consoling the runner-up and thanking the candidates who lost out. Minutes later he shared two videos, one defending his supporters as unfairly maligned and downplaying January 6, the other reviving 2020 election fraud claims in Georgia. Two things stand out: he said nothing at all about the Justice Department's release of millions of pages of Epstein documents that mention him over a thousand times, and after 8 AM he went quiet for the rest of the day.
