New Jersey’s governor stood at a podium and admitted that 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote in her state — and blamed a software error. On Worldview Tube with Brannon Howse, Jim Pfaff, President of The Conservative Caucus, laid out why that admission is an operation, not a glitch, and why the Save America Act is the fix Congress keeps refusing to pass. Pfaff also addressed President Trump’s warning to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz and the Smithsonian hearing where the American History Museum director refused to define a woman.

Trump’s Warning to Iran Over the Strait of Hormuz

The show opened with President Trump’s statement to Tehran: if Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz — by missile, rocket, drone, or any other weapon — the United States will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant, including those in or next to Tehran. Pfaff read the threat as pressure to let shipping pass. Does Iran care? “I doubt it,” he said, because Iran has acted entirely consistently with everything we know about the regime.

Pfaff pushed the logic further: Trump needs to keep taking out Iranian leaders, because they cannot stay underground forever. Violent, destabilizing actors respond to one thing, and once a president decides to engage militarily, he has to go as far as he can.

“I am confident that President Trump wants to do something good here, but it would be far better to get it completed.”
— Jim Pfaff, President, The Conservative Caucus

That standard — completion, not intentions — is the same one he then applied to Congress on election integrity.

New Jersey’s “Computer Error”: 400 Votes and 6,600 Registrations

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill held a press conference acknowledging that 400 illegal aliens voted and 6,600 were registered to vote in her state. Her explanation: some individuals told the registration software they were not citizens and not eligible, and the software registered them anyway. By her own account, that error was corrected in June 2024 — more than two years ago — yet she says she learned of it only last Wednesday, when she ordered her chief counsel to investigate.

Pfaff rejected the premise outright. He reposted her statement with a warning: do not let people pretend computer errors did this, because computers do what people tell them to do. In his words, this is specifically an operation being undertaken in her state and many other states to register illegal aliens and give them driver’s licenses. California has already passed laws allowing illegal aliens to participate in municipal elections — a legal issue Pfaff says deserves a challenge.

Then President Trump posted the number that blew up Sherrill’s framing: 35,152 non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey, according to Homeland Security — and in Trump’s words, those are just the ones that got caught. Pfaff agreed: 35,000 is a low number, because across New Jersey and the blue states far more illegal aliens are on the rolls, and many of them are voting. That is why Sherrill called the press conference at all — not to clarify the 6,600 registrations, but to twist the situation and hide the much worse problem he believes she knows about.

The Fraud That Can Be Proven

Pfaff drew a line most commentators refuse to draw: between fraud he suspects and fraud he can prove. He does not have the information to prove Dominion voting machines were manipulated. What he can prove sits on the voter rolls.

“if, if you want to look at any actual fraud that’s provable that’s taking place in this country, it is the fact that illegals are on voter rolls and they are voting. That is the fraud that can be proven.”
— Jim Pfaff, President, The Conservative Caucus

The proof mechanism already exists in federal law. Under the Help America Vote Act — HAVA — states are required to make their voter registration lists available to the DOJ for review. The states refusing to hand over their rolls are the law violators here, and Harmeet Dhillon has been adjudicating these cases; Pfaff encouraged her to keep going.

Pfaff also repeated a claim he first made publicly in spring of 2020: China threw COVID out into the wild as a complicating factor designed to take Trump out — and he was shouted down for saying so.

The Save America Act: Thune Stalls While Mike Lee Fights

If illegal aliens on the rolls are the provable fraud, the Save America Act is the provable remedy — and Pfaff aimed his anger at the Republican who refuses to deliver it. John Thune says he doesn’t have the numbers. Pfaff’s answer: he needs to make the numbers, because that is what a majority leader does.

“He’s a weak, feckless leader who won’t push forward what needs to be pushed forward. And Mike Lee is an American hero for continuing down this path and not letting it go.”
— Jim Pfaff, President, The Conservative Caucus

This is not a new pattern. As we documented in our analysis of Senator Thune’s filibuster against the Save America Act, Senate Republican leadership has repeatedly buried its own party’s election-integrity bill. The original SAVE Act passed in spring of 2025, and Mitch McConnell hid it in his committee for months. To their credit, Mike Johnson and House leaders attached the bill to an already-passed Senate bill, bypassing the committee process — the same fight TCC covered when the talking filibuster stalled the bill.

Lisa Murkowski gave the excuse a face: she opposes the bill as drafted because implementation in a rural state like Alaska would “disenfranchise” a majority of voters — while insisting she supports citizenship voting and voter ID. Pfaff answered with the state’s own history: Alaska became a state in 1959, and from 1959 until about 20 years ago, rural Alaskans voted just as much as anyone else. They were never disenfranchised. Murkowski lost a primary to Joe Miller and kept her seat through a ranked-choice-voting pact with Democrat voters. She knows the bill would make her reelection harder — that is the real objection.

The Smithsonian Hearing: A Museum That Refuses to Categorize

The second half of the show turned to the testimony of Smithsonian American History Museum director Dr. Hartig. Nancy Mace asked direct questions: Do you believe men can become women? What is a woman? How many genders are there — given that a museum glossary tells visitors other countries recognize three or more? Hartig answered none of them, saying the museum strives to represent and not categorize all Americans.

Pfaff went after that one sentence, because it concedes the whole case. Science and history share a basic construct: taxonomy, and taxonomy is categorization. Unless you can make distinctions between things, you cannot even find out what a thing is. Hartig’s refusal to define a woman echoed Ketanji Brown Jackson’s — except, Pfaff noted, Hartig already knew that mistake and talked around it.

“She can’t even do basic history because she can’t categorize. If you can’t categorize, then there is no history.”
— Jim Pfaff, President, The Conservative Caucus

And the museum does categorize — just falsely, Pfaff argued, because it abandons the law of non-contradiction: A cannot be non-A at the same time and in the same relationship. He cited a Heritage Foundation video showing the deeper failure: none of the Founding Fathers have displays in the American History Museum, and nothing covers the natural-law foundations of American constitutional liberty. Instead, the Smithsonian built its displays with the 1619 Project — a lie, in Pfaff’s words — and the Southern Poverty Law Center, already indicted by a grand jury.

Congressman Brandon Gill added the defining exchange: the mass action toolkit promoted through Hartig’s organization lists politeness as a defining characteristic of white supremacy culture. Pfaff’s point is that these are not isolated absurdities. The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence laid a firm foundation America built on for more than 200 years, fixing its evils along the way — and these people want to destroy the foundation itself.

“They’re attempting to reframe history to be able to move forward on the taking of power.”
— Jim Pfaff, President, The Conservative Caucus

Pfaff closed with a demand for Republicans in Congress: wherever Donald Trump lacks the authority to fire people like this, grant it to the executive. And on the day of the broadcast, four House Republicans blocked an NDAA amendment codifying Trump’s executive order barring mentally ill transgender individuals from military service — with a Republican majority. Pfaff called it absolutely absurd.

Key Takeaways

1. New Jersey admitted the numbers – Governor Sherrill acknowledged 400 illegal aliens voted and 6,600 were registered, blaming a software error corrected back in June 2024.
2. Homeland Security counts 35,152 – Trump posted the DHS figure of 35,152 non-citizens registered in New Jersey; Pfaff says 35,000 is a low number.
3. The provable fraud is on the rolls – Illegal aliens registered and voting is the fraud with evidence, and HAVA obligates states to hand their voter lists to the DOJ.
4. The Save America Act is stalled by Republicans – Thune won’t make the numbers, McConnell hid the SAVE Act in committee, and Murkowski’s Alaska claim collapses against her state’s voting history since 1959.
5. Voter records are walled off – Kentucky’s voter data costs $4,000, requires a campaign, a form, and state approval — access that used to be free.
6. The Smithsonian is reframing history – A director who will not categorize cannot do history; a museum with no Founding Fathers displays is promoting lies to move forward on the taking of power.
