I'm Tony Kinnett, host of the Daily Signals Tony Kinnett cast, syndicated nationally at 7 p.m. Eastern. It is Monday, September 29th, 2025.

Starting point is 00:01:00 This is the Daily Signals. Top News in 10. An arrest of the suspected shooter at Southport in North Carolina has been made after the shooter attempted to flee on a boat after killing three and injuring five in a mass shooting at a Southport waterfront bar. Here's Southport Chief of Police, Todd Coring. So good evening. My name is Chief Todd Corning with Southport Police Depart.

Starting point is 00:01:30 I just want to take time to greet our community. about what's the one on this evening at the American Fish Crumping. It's located behind me of 150, the Yacht Lason Drive. Approximately 9.30 this evening, we got calls to our 911 Center about shots fired at the establishment that people were taking fire. As officers arrived and were on the way, we got multiple reports of an active shooter possibly coming from a boat that was out in the intercoastered door plate. We've got multiple agencies that have responded to assist South Blue Vinay to include Oak Island,

Starting point is 00:02:08 Bowling Spring Lake, Shalote, a lot of SBIs here, ATF is with us, the district attorney is here all the site with us. Multiple partners are here across the county and the state, so we're certainly appreciate that. Unfortunately, we do have three deceased at the establishment that we are dealing with right now, worker crime scene, and we have possibly six that are injured at local hospitals that are receiving treatment. We don't have the names and will not be releasing any names right now due to notifications that need to be made to those families. We just ask that we keep those that have been affected by this in your prayers and the thoughts. In our community tonight, I want to say that I'm comfortable to say that there is no, we don't feel like there's any additional threats to the community right now. We're going up in the neighbor and O'Gaile over the possible suspect, but we'll have more information on that at a later time.

Starting point is 00:03:00 So again, I just want to appreciate everyone for being. Appreciate everyone for being here tonight again. Keep for unity and those involved with our family's in your thoughts of Christ. And another horrible mass shooting and also arson attack ended with the shooter dead in Grand Blanc, Michigan

Starting point is 00:03:18 yesterday. The shooter and arsonist crashed his pickup truck into the Latter-day Saints Church in Grand Blanc Township. And according to eyewitnesses walked around the church building pouring gasoline before setting it on fire. And after the building caught fire,

Starting point is 00:03:35 as individuals were running out of the church building to save themselves and their families, he began shooting the churchgoers openly, leaving at least four dead and eight wounded. Here's Granblock Township, Police Chief William Raine. During this incident, what we know right now is a 40-year-old suspect from Burton. He's a male.

Starting point is 00:03:58 He drove his vehicle through the front doors of the church. He then exited his vehicle, firing several rounds at individuals within the church. Ten gunshot victims have been transported to local hospitals at this time, including one who has been deceased. Officers who were trained immediately responded to the area. One was a DNR officer, and then one was a Grambling Township officer. where they met the suspect and they engaged in gunfire with that particular individual, neutralizing that suspect. And that suspect is no longer with us.

Starting point is 00:04:41 As I said, it is a 40-year-old male from Bergen. We'll have more information on these two shootings later on the Tony Kinnett cast this evening. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves and do any speculating. And with the government shutdown approaching quickly on Wednesday, Democrats and Republicans took to this weekend's Sunday shows. to air their confidence in front of the nation that they would reach some type of agreement. At the moment, Republicans are attempting to pass a clean resolution, meaning a continuation of the current funds appropriated for the federal government, whereas many on the Democrat side

Starting point is 00:05:16 of the aisle are calling for the expansion of health care expenditures for individuals like illegal immigrants. Here's Speaker of the House Mike Johnson on CNN's State of the Union Sunday. So at this meeting tomorrow, is President Trump looking to make a deal or is it going to be like when Michael Corleone met Senator Geary? My offer is this, nothing. Well, look, we'll have to see, but I can tell you where his head and his heart are. He wants to do right by the people. He does not want the Democrats to hold up troops pay, you know, the people who are serving in the military. They don't get paid during a shutdown. He doesn't want WIC funding, you know, women, infants, and children, nutrition program being held up. He doesn't want telehealth and mental health and FEMA services to be stopped. That's what Chuck Schumer is holding hostage. Why? So that he can add 1.5 trillion in new spending at a time when we're simply just trying to keep the government going for seven weeks so we can have those debates. It's wrong. He also wants to, by the way, what Chuck Schumer

Starting point is 00:06:18 is demanding in exchange for all those good things I just listed, he wants to reinstate free health care for illegal aliens paid by American taxpayers. We are not doing it. in that. We can't do that. That's just one of the crazy things he's requested. Well, I think he would take issue with that. Here is what House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffrey said on CNN Friday night about what he says Democrats are asking for, which is the continuity,

Starting point is 00:06:39 the continuing of the Obama Gear subsidies being extended to American citizens only to prevent more than a million of those Americans joining the ranks of the uninsured. I'd like to your response. This is what Jeffrey said. And all we're saying is let's find a path forward

Starting point is 00:06:54 to actually fix the health care system that Republicans have broken for the good of everyone. They dropped this reckless partisan bill that continues to gut the health care of the American people, and it went down in flames. And so their bill is dead on arrival. Is that demand for the continuing the Obamacare subsidies? Is that even on the table tomorrow? Look, that statement by my friend Hakeem is absolutely absurd. There is nothing partisan about this continuing resolution. Nothing. We didn't have a single partisan in a priority or policy writer at all. We're operating completely in good faith to give more time.

Starting point is 00:07:32 The only thing that would gut health care, using his own phraseology there, is if we took Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer's demand here, because they want to cut $50 billion from rural hospitals. That's the new fund that we added in the big, beautiful bill, the working families tax cuts that we passed just a couple months ago. They want to gut that. They also want to hold up all this funding that I listed. I mean, the WIC program is something that we all champion for women, infants, and children, nutrition.

Starting point is 00:08:02 That would be held up. So it's exactly the opposite of what Hakeem is talking about. The Obamacare Subsidies is a policy debate that has to be determined by the end of the year, December 31. The December 30th, if not, not right now while we're simply trying to keep the government open so we can have all these debates. And after mounting pressure from political adversaries and allies alike in the face of the potential election, of radical socialist and pro-jihadist Zoran Mandani in New York City, current mayor, Eric Adams, the Democrat mayor, has announced he will no longer be seeking his bid for re-election in the highly contested four-way race between he, Cuomo, Zoran Mandani,

Starting point is 00:08:43 and Republican Chris Silwa. Here's Mayor Eric Adams coming down the staircase and making his announcement. Nearly four years ago, Gracie Mansion became my home. Who would have thought that a kid from South Jamaica, Queens, growing up with learning disabilities, could one day become the mayor of the greatest city in the rural? And yet, despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign, the constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board's decision to, withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign. And lastly, the Trump administration has officially deployed the National Guard to Portland, Oregon. In a memorandum from the Secretary of War, Hegseth wrote, quote, 200 members of the Oregon

Starting point is 00:09:58 National Guard will be called into federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days. These National Guardsmen are set to aid federal agents at ICE facilities who have been under siege by assailants many coordinated with the now terror organization Antifa for the last couple of months. The state of Oregon has responded by suing the Trump administration, arguing that the deployment of the National Guard to Portland is unlawful. Now, as you may already be aware, at the present time, federal precedent has stated through the judicial system that the Trump administration has been allowed to use the. National Guard in the way that is currently being deployed to Portland, Oregon, in the way that it had already been upheld in Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles. We'll keep you updated with all of those details on the Tony Kennett cast. Speaking of which, before you go, head down to the description and make sure you're subscribed

Starting point is 00:10:52 to the Tony Kennett cast so you can join us for a roundup of the day's news and nonsense at 7 p.m. Eastern. I'm Tony Kinnett, and this has been The Daily Signals. Top News in 10. Take care. There.
