The Daily Signal - Shutdown Deal is HERE, More January 6th Controversies | Nov. 10, 2025

Starting point is 00:00:00 The end to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history may finally be in sight. And new controversies erupt from several January 6th revelations. I'm Tony Kinnett, host of the Daily Signals Tony Kinnett cast, syndicated nationally at 7 p.m. Eastern. It is Monday, November 10, 2025. This is the Daily Signals, top news in 10. 40 days of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, it appears that there are finally enough Democrat votes flaking a way to vote alongside Republicans to reopen the federal government. According to Politico, quote, the agreement which was negotiated in part by

Starting point is 00:00:42 Senators Angus King, Jean Shaheen, and Maggie Hassan, as well as Republican senators has more than enough members of the Senate Democratic caucus to advance, according to two people granted anonymity to disclose the terms. After a test vote last night on the floor of the Senate, a new continuing resolution does a couple of things differently. First of all, all of the federal officials who would have been fired or laid off since October 1st would be brought back into the federal government and given their job and back pay. And according to several sources, a handshake deal that would allow the Democrats Obamacare subsidies to be voted on in December separately. This new continuing resolution would fund the government through January 30th and after passing the Senate

Starting point is 00:01:28 would go over to the House for its second vote. This might come not a moment too soon as Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy told CNN's State of the Union Jake Tapper that the growing concern in the aviation administration as well as many other transportation agencies in the United States are feeling significant stress that could wreck the U.S. holiday season in travel. airlines canceled more than 1,400 flights here in the United States. Another thousand have already been canceled today. And it's about to get worse with air traffic controllers set to miss their second full paycheck this week. Joining us now to discuss is the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy. Secretary Duffy, thanks for joining us. In addition to those cancellations,

Starting point is 00:02:12 more than 6,000 flights were delayed this weekend, sometimes for hours and hours. How much worse do you expect this is going to become this week? What are travelers in for? assuming there's no end of the government shutdown. Yes, so first off yesterday, Jake, 18 of 22 controllers in Atlanta didn't show up. We had 81 staffing triggers throughout the national airspace yesterday. Yesterday, that means controllers weren't coming to work. To answer your question, it's only going to get worse. I look to, you know, the two weeks before Thanksgiving, you're going to see air travel be reduced

Starting point is 00:02:47 to a trickle. We have a number of people who want to get home for the holidays. They want to see their family. they want to celebrate this great American holiday. Listen, many of them are not going to be able to get on an airplane because there are not going to be that many flights that fly if this thing doesn't open back up. We have controllers who, again, are making decisions to feed their families as opposed to come to towers or tracons or centers and do their jobs.

Starting point is 00:03:08 And I want them to come to work. The problem is they're confronted with real economic problems. The answer is vote to open up the government and then have your debates, have your conversation. I think that's the best way and the best approach to get America. back operational. Many on the left whose hardline on this particular shutdown was gaining Obamacare subsidies through the Affordable Care Act and the federal government assistance programs have already come out to slam this particular possible shutdown deal. That including DNC Vice Chair Representative Malcolm Kenyatta saying, quote, any deal that ends with Dems just getting a

Starting point is 00:03:45 pinky promise in reference to the proposed Obamacare subsidy vote in December. In return is a mistake. The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop health care costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn't fix that reality falls massively short, end quote. As a quick fact check, the Obamacare program was pushed by Democrat, President Barack Obama, passed by the Democrat Congress and was fully funded through this continuing resolution. Additional subsidies that were put forward as a COVID stopgap measure, also through the Biden administration were being allowed to sunset, a sunset that Democrats at the time had voted for and continued through several continuing resolutions. The Senate reaching a 60-vote deal at this time

Starting point is 00:04:30 would also end some of the speculation regarding the nuclear option in which the Senate would eliminate the filibuster, allowing things to be passed by a simple majority vote of 51. This is a measure that the President of the United States had taken, as well as more populist members of the Republican side, like Senator Josh Hawley had said. I'm played a role in the election? Listen, I'm not a voter in those states, but here's what I do know is the shutdown needs the end. And in my state, I can just tell you, it is really hurting real people. This is why I've offered a bill to pay those SNAP benefits because people need the assistance,

Starting point is 00:05:02 42 million people. I mean, this is becoming a humanitarian crisis, and I think we have got to end this ASAP. This measure had heretofore been promoted by Democrats who were looking forward to submitting an end to the filibuster so that perhaps Supreme Court justice seats could be added and states added to the union. Echoing that support for ending the filibuster came again this weekend on this week's ABC, where Senator Adam Schiff reaffirmed this to George Stephanopoulos. You were running for Senate. You came out against the filibuster. If that comes to the Senate floor, will you vote for it? I have continued to oppose the filibuster and would be happy to do away with a

Starting point is 00:05:42 filibuster. But the question is, do away with it for what reason? I would do away with it so that we can expand and protect people's freedoms and their rights. The Republicans and the president right now are talking about doing away with a filibuster so they can raise people's health care costs. That is the wrong reason to do away with a filibuster. And ultimately, what's going to protect the American people, frankly, are not Senate Republicans who give into this president all the time, not House Republicans who are not even on the job, not the president certainly, not the Supreme court, that is his biggest rubber stamp. But what we saw on Tuesday, and that is the voters coming out and rejecting Republicans, rejecting health care increased costs, rejecting a president

Starting point is 00:06:23 who's more focused on his personal enrichment than he is on trying to help people who are hungry and working to try to keep their families afloat right now. And two new major controversies erupting from the January 6th riot revelations. The first, an investigation from The Blaze, showing a forensic analysis of a female former U.S. Capitol police officer's gate, a 94 to 98 percent match to the unique stride of a particular January 6th pipe bomb suspect, according to the Blaze News investigation confirmed by intelligence sources. This at the time, Capitol Police Officer the Blaze names as Shawnee Ray Kirkoff, 31 of Alexandria, Virginia, left the Capitol police force in mid-2021 for a security detail at the CIA, other sources told Blaze

Starting point is 00:07:15 News. The identity of the pipe bomber has remained relevant after a number of accusations of an inside job have spilled into several congressional hearings over the last couple of years, notably in July 23, when Representative Thomas Massey grilled then FBI director Chris Ray about a video unearthed showing the man who apparently discovered the bomb at the the DNC building. It's this same congressional hearing in July of 2023 that would be a part of the lying to Congress charges that would then be filed by the Trump DOJ a couple of weeks ago. And lastly, after a BBC documentary on January the 6th was found to be edited, by which I mean editing out certain comments from the president of the United States, Donald Trump, on encouraging

Starting point is 00:08:02 the crowd to remain peaceful, BBC's Director General Tim Davy and the chief executive of the news Division, Deborah Ternis, have resigned. We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and I'll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell. We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. The malicious edit of the president's speech was discovered by The Telegraph and published on November 3rd. BBC is reportedly planning to apologize for deceptively editing Trump's January 6th

Starting point is 00:08:45 2021 speech saying, quote, Samir Shah, the BBC's chairman, will write to the culture media and support committee on Monday, that being Monday, November 10th, to express regret for the way the speech made on the day of January 6th, 2021 Capitol Riot was spliced together. Both Tim Davy and Shaw were both allegedly warned about the doctored footage back in May. but, according to the Telegraph, decided to keep it quiet. The president of the United States wasted no time at all, hopping on true social and saying just what he thought about the two individuals stepping down. The top people in the BBC, including Tim Davy, the boss, are all quitting or fired

Starting point is 00:09:23 because they were caught doctoring my very good, perfect speech of January 6th. Thank you to the Telegraph for exposing these corrupt journalists. These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a presidential election. On top of everything else, they are from a foreign. country, one that many consider our number one ally. What a terrible thing for democracy.
