Exposing the Playbook: Rep. Claudia Tenney on Fake Narratives and High Taxes

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney joins the program fresh off the House floor to discuss the rising public backlash against coordinated, “astroturfed” far-left protests and the potentially catastrophic, long-term economic consequences facing deep-blue states. Tenney breaks down her Protect TANF Family Benefits Act, which prevents state governments from raiding federal funds designated for truly needy families to backfill state budgets. She also details her formal inquiry into acting Attorney General Todd Blanche regarding the status of the criminal referral for former New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo over his deadly COVID-19 nursing home directive and false statements to Congress. 

In the second segment, Shawn Carney, CEO and president of 40 Days for Life, weighs in on the theological identity crisis unfolding within the Democratic Party. Carney reacts to recent statements from the Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico claiming that God supports abortion and that Jesus was silent on the issue. He analyzes how the left’s aggressive drift away from biology and common sense on transgender and abortion issues has systematically alienated traditional faith voters ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. 

Lastly, muscian Mike Cavanaugh discusses his new tribute song, The Voice of an Age, a ballad honoring the legacy and Christian faith of the late conservative figure Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September 2025. Cavanaugh opens up about how Kirk’s unfiltered eloquence inspired him to reflect on his own willingness to speak out against modern woke narratives and corporate church silence.
