White House Press Credentials and the Best Convention Speeches: Jim Pfaff on The John Fredericks Show | Sep 22, 2026

On The John Fredericks Show, Jim Pfaff says he is not a fan of President Trump pulling the White House press credentials of CNN, MS NOW and Politico, but argues the First Amendment does not give anyone a right to be in the White House, that MSNBC was bad enough for NBC to chuck it, and that a real alternative media is being built. Then he and John Fredericks rank the best and worst convention speeches since Goldwater: RFK Jr. in Dallas, Reagan in 1976, Jeane Kirkpatrick in 1984, and Buchanan’s speech in the wrong year.

Salazar amnesty - Jim Pfaff on mass deportation, the Democrats' socialist bench and the media ban, The Alec Lace Show September 22 2026

Salazar Amnesty and the Democrats’ Socialist Bench: Jim Pfaff on The Alec Lace Show | Sep 22, 2026

On The Alec Lace Show, Jim Pfaff says the Salazar amnesty stance is not a campaign angle but who she is, reduces the Democrats’ 2028 bench to Gavin Newsom or a Hasan Piker pick, reads Trump’s Gracie Mansion meeting with Mamdani as a warning about Netanyahu, says he is not a big fan of banning anybody from the press pool, and makes the case for mass deportation on the rule of law: good people who broke the law still have to go back and do it the right way.

Skynet Is Government Control of AI: Jim Pfaff on Bobby Gunther Walsh | Sep 21, 2026

Jim Pfaff on WAEB Allentown: the real danger is government control of AI. Skynet would be government regulating it, the AI scare followed a successful GOP midterm convention, Anthropic and OpenAI want regulatory capture against open source models from Google and Facebook, and TCC is setting up local AI on its own server. Plus the All-In podcast converts, product liability versus a World Health Organization-style regulator, and the host’s question of why people fear AI more than Iran with a nuclear weapon.

Noncitizen Voting and the DOJ’s 16 Cases: Jim Pfaff on The Jenny Beth Show | Sep 21, 2026

The Justice Department has charged 16 people in seven states with illegal voting. On The Jenny Beth Show with guest host Robert McNeily, Jim Pfaff explains how noncitizen voting happens through motor voter and attestation, why New Jersey’s 6,000 is the tip of the iceberg, how John Thune could use the 1964 Mansfield precedent to pass the SAVE America Act, and why citizens, not officials, run elections.

Talk Radio, Media Bans and the Limbaugh Standard: Jim Pfaff on The Peter Boyles Show | Sep 19, 2026

On The Peter Boyles Show, Jim Pfaff takes the talk radio question of who controls the mic: he is not sure the White House ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico is a good move — open the door and answer the questions — and calls Robert Kraft’s move against Macklemore private business. Plus Charlie Kirk’s courage to explain why, Rush Limbaugh as the standard for media, period, Tucker Carlson’s changed filter, and why objective truth matters.

He also grades the RNC Midterm Convention, rebukes Thomas Massie over the Hegseth impeachment push, and walks the Senate map from North Carolina to Minnesota.

On One America News’ Fine Point with Chanel Rion, Conservative Caucus President Jim Pfaff — who once worked for Thomas Massie — agrees Massie’s move is a big middle finger to his constituents and to Trump, calls partnering up with people like Ro Khanna and Jayapal entirely irresponsible, and names the pattern: vengeance politics when a politician feels rudely treated.

Data Centers and the Push to Regulate AI: Jim Pfaff on The Russ Clark Show | Sep 17, 2026

Data Centers and the Push to Regulate AI: Jim Pfaff on The Russ Clark Show | Sep 17, 2026

On The Russ Clark Show, Jim Pfaff takes the case against data centers apart claim by claim — noise, water, scale — and argues the same campaign drives the push to regulate AI: no proof behind the 10-percent-in-10-years claim, timing tied to the GOP midterm convention, and frontier labs seeking government protection from free open source models like Meta’s Llama and Google’s Gemma. Plus the Skynet that only government could build, and 47 days out, positive signs, by far not decided.

JOIN TCC IN STOPPING THE ATTACKS ON OUR FREEDOM.

If the liberals have their way, our speech will no longer be free, our guns will become outlawed, and every other right we cherish will be endangered. Let your voice be heard and tell our government to uphold the Constitution, and continue to keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave.

THE PLEDGE:

I join the overwhelming majority of conservative Americans to demand that the government no longer violate our Constitutional rights.

I stand with all Americans and affirm our Constitutional rights and urge all candidates and elected officials to affirm the same.
