Analysis: Conservative Caucus President Jim Pfaff


When the President of the United States addressed the nation about active vulnerabilities in our election system caused by foreign nations, several networks refused to air it — and then commented on a speech their own viewers never saw. Jim Pfaff, President of The Conservative Caucus, joined Bobby Gunther Walsh on WAEB 790 AM in Allentown to name what that blackout really is: a deep state problem that runs from a CIA propaganda operation called Project Mockingbird to an FBI official describing a shadow government inside our own institutions.

Topics Covered


Censored, Then Commented On: The Address the Networks Refused to Air

Walsh opened with a line from Red Wave that frames the whole story: refusing to air a presidential speech to the nation about election fraud is a horrible way to convince people you were not in on the election fraud. He added the reaction of Sean Farish — TCC’s own Tennessee state director — who pointed out that when Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for a day or two, the left and the mainstream media lost their minds. A presidential address about active foreign vulnerabilities in our election system got crickets.

Pfaff sharpened the point. The networks did not simply decline to carry the speech — NBC and ABC in particular ran commentary on the very address they refused to show. Viewers heard opinions about a speech they were never allowed to see for themselves. Mike McConish, a former CNN figure, said he would play the address during his own radio show and comment on it afterward, because the American people need to know. That contrast is the same pattern TCC documented in the Jimmy Kimmel suspension double standard: full-volume outrage for a late-night host, silence for the presidency.

A Deep State Problem Decades in the Making

Pfaff calls the blackout the epitome of the deep state problem, and he backs the label with names and documents. Among the documents recently released, an FBI official named Nikki Flores stated that a shadow government was created. Pfaff’s question cuts to the bone: how broadly did that go?

“But we already know that the media is still influenced after decades and decades from Project Mockingbird.”
— Jim Pfaff, President, The Conservative Caucus

Project Mockingbird was a CIA project to move propaganda into American media that benefits the government. Because that influence was never extracted, a coordinated network decision to censor a presidential address on election vulnerabilities fits a decades-old pattern — not a one-day news judgment. Pfaff then asks the questions the networks will not: General Milley, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs, called his Chinese counterpart in October 2020 — before the election — saying they would tamp down the situation with Donald Trump if needed. Peter Schweitzer’s book Secret Empires documented Biden family money from communist China through Hunter Biden while Joe Biden was vice president. Pfaff states outright that he does not know the extent of Chinese coordination and refuses to over-push the theory. What he states as fact: China is influencing our government at some level, and Donald Trump is weeding it out.

“We have had a deep state problem in this country for decades”

Pfaff traces the money behind it. Companies and politicians profited from these arrangements all the way back to the most favored nation push in the latter part of the Clinton administration — the move that handed China the economic foothold it used to grow aggressive and assertive on the international scene, right up through the Belt and Road Initiative. Financial interests built over decades do not surrender because of one election.

The Numbers Nobody Will Answer

Walsh then put hard numbers on the table — facts, he stressed, that are not disputable; officials simply do not answer them. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Democrat of Nevada, won in 2022 by 7,928 votes. That same year, Nevada processed 163,900 duplicate registrations. The Department of Homeland Security found as many as 14,576 non-citizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania.

“Pennsylvania sent out 1.8+ million mail-in ballots. They got back 2.5 million. How did that happen?”
— Bobby Gunther Walsh, Host, WAEB 790 AM Allentown

Add one more unanswered question: who ordered vote counting stopped in all five swing states at the same time on election night 2020 — every state where Trump went to bed leading and woke up losing? Pfaff’s answer points at the intelligence community.

The vote totals themselves make the case. Barack Obama drew 67 to 68 million votes. Joe Biden drew 81 million — a total nobody reached before him and nobody has approached since. Kamala Harris fell back to Obama levels, a few million under. Walsh described putting that exact question to a liberal at an event; the man admitted he had no answer for how it happened.

Why the Voter Rolls Fight Matters

In the states that have turned their voter registration records over to the federal government, a quarter million illegals were found registered to vote. California and other very large states refuse to hand theirs over. That refusal is exactly why Pfaff deduces the true national number runs into the millions — the quarter million came only from the states that complied.

This is the same battle TCC has pressed in the election integrity fight behind the Trump agenda: validate the rolls, or the irregularities compound election after election.

Evidentiary Hearings Where No Evidence Was Heard

Christopher Krebs ran CISA, the agency designed within DHS to monitor election integrity around the country — and he pronounced 2020 the cleanest election in American history. Pfaff calls that a lie from the very beginning, and he explains the mechanism. When a candidate loses, you throw the sour-grapes narrative on top of him, and having manipulated the information environment, you keep that narrative going.

The courts finished the job. Walsh cited David Sestokas, an attorney general candidate out of Illinois who has written a book on the Constitution and who represented Trump in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Sestokas told him directly: it was an evidentiary hearing, and the judges would not hear the evidence. Another guest reported the identical outcome in Pittsburgh. So when Shapiro says Trump lost 45 appealed cases, the record shows something different — judges refused to hear evidence at hearings whose entire purpose was to determine whether there was cause to proceed. Pfaff adds that this exonerates Rudy Giuliani, whose work on those cases he calls phenomenal.

Invalid on Process Alone: Article II, Section 1, Clause 2

Pfaff’s constitutional argument does not depend on finding a single altered ballot.

“even if we don’t find specific votes changed, the 2020 election is invalid on process alone”
— Jim Pfaff, President, The Conservative Caucus

The Constitutional Standard

Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 assigns each state’s legislature the power to direct the manner of appointing presidential electors. Walsh read the clause on air. Congress holds a regulating role, but it is the state legislatures — not courts, not secretaries of state — that determine how elections are run.

Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Michigan all changed their election laws outside that constitutional process. In Pennsylvania, the Secretary of State filed a lawsuit, Governor Wolf supported it, and the state Supreme Court imposed radical changes to election law that the legislature had no ability to stop. That process is what opened the door to the massive influx of mail ballots, state after state after state, expanding the electorate in either fraudulent or proper ways. Pfaff is precise about what is known: the fraud totals are not established, but the illegality of the process is.

Detroit supplied the visual. Republican election watchers were kicked out of a major counting area, and workers covered the glass walls with cardboard — anyone who remembers election night knows it happened. Pennsylvania produced report after report of the same thing. Removing opposing election watchers from a counting facility is immediately a violation, because watchers validating the count is the whole purpose of having them there. Our elections are not run by secretaries of state, Pfaff argues — they are run by the people; the secretary of state exists to coordinate and set up the processes.

“I think it is appropriate to still, to this day, 6 years later, to question the outcome of 2020 and what really happened there.”
— Jim Pfaff, President, The Conservative Caucus

His conclusion on Pennsylvania is unqualified: its elections were invalid on their face, on a constitutional principle. And the address the networks refused to air was not relitigating 2020 — Walsh underlined that the president was saying these problems still exist, if not worse. That is the whole problem in one sentence: the vulnerabilities remain, and the institutions that should report them censor the man who does.

Key Takeaways

  1. Censored, Then Commented On – NBC and ABC ran commentary on a presidential election-fraud address they refused to air, so viewers never got to compare the commentary to the speech itself.
  2. A Decades-Old Pattern, Not a News Judgment – Pfaff ties the blackout to Project Mockingbird, the CIA project to place propaganda in American media, and to released documents in which FBI official Nikki Flores said a shadow government was created.
  3. The Numbers Go Unanswered – Nevada processed 163,900 duplicate registrations the year Cortez Masto won by 7,928 votes; DHS found as many as 14,576 non-citizens registered in Pennsylvania; Pennsylvania sent out 1.8+ million mail-in ballots and got back 2.5 million.
  4. Courts Refused the Evidence – Trump’s Pennsylvania cases died at evidentiary hearings where judges would not hear evidence, which Pfaff says exonerates Rudy Giuliani’s work.
  5. 2020 Was Invalid on Process Alone – Five swing states changed election laws outside the legislature’s role under Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, making the outcome invalid in Pfaff’s view even without proof of changed votes.
  6. Voter Rolls Are the Next Front – A quarter million illegals were found registered in states that shared their records; California and other large states still withhold theirs.
