In 2001, Tennessee Governor Don Sundquist proposed a state income tax to overcome a budget shortfall. Tennessee lawmakers were at an impasse when Republican state senator Marsha Blackburn tipped off Valentine that a vote on the measure was imminent. Valentine opposed a state income tax and urged his listeners to swarm the Tennessee state capitol to voice their opposition. More than 2,000 people stormed the capitol and broke windows in what became known as the Tennessee Tax Revolt.{{Cite web|last=Semuels|first=Alana|date=October 21, 2015|title=Congratulations Tennessee: You've Got the Most Regressive Tax System in America|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/10/tennessee-tax-system-regressive/411547/|url-status=live|access-date=August 30, 2021|website=The Atlantic|language=en|archive-date=August 31, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210831031515/https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/10/tennessee-tax-system-regressive/411547/}} Valentine said Sundquist committed political adultery after promising in his 1994 gubernatorial campaign to veto any state income tax. The measure failed in the legislature and Valentine emerged as a hero among conservatives in Tennessee.

Valentine, who blamed Chinese Communism for its failure to contain the pandemic was a skeptic of wearing masks to prevent COVID-19 and suggested that only those with underlying health conditions should be vaccinated against the illness.{{Cite web|title=Conservative Radio Host Phil Valentine Regrets His Vaccine Stance, Now Fighting COVID in Hospital|url=https://people.com/health/conservative-radio-host-phil-valentine-regrets-his-vaccine-stance-now-fighting-covid-in-hospital/|access-date=2021-09-02|website=PEOPLE.com|language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2020-04-08 |title=Is coronavirus the beginning of the end of Chinese communism? |url=https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/is-coronavirus-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-chinese-communism |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=Washington Examiner |language=en}} He performed a parody song, "Vaxman", in the style of the 1966 Beatles song "Taxman", altering the lyrics to parody vaccination efforts.{{cite web|last=Murphy|first=Paul P.|date=July 23, 2021|title=He sang 'Vaxman' song, now he's hospitalized with COVID|url=https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/07/23/he-sang-vaxman-song-now-hes-hospitalized-with-covid|access-date=August 4, 2021|website=The Mercury News|language=en-US}}{{cite web|last=Levintova|first=Hannah|title=A conservative radio host mocked the vaccine.
