Trey: good evening thank you for joining us i'm trey gowdy, sunday night in america, parts of the south are devastated, there has been death and millions there without power people waiting in line for gas, water and food and power may take weeks to restore, i have witnessed the devastation firsthand trees board long before i was are now on top of houses, in south carolina it looks like a ghost town we were nowhere near the eye of the storm, even in the dark of night without power you can still see light, not only our neighbors taking care of neighbors but strangers are taking care of strangers, a glimpse of beauty in the wake of devastation, there is unity and survival. I wonder if we can ever have that unity without the devastation. If you have the chance to help those in need with the basics of life, please do so in the special word of thanks to those working aroundtheclock to get life back to some semblance of normalcy for a region that is reeling right now. Neither urologist adam klotz joins us from the fox weather center with more. As you know this is been a fairly active hurricane season, four hurricanes have made landfall so far, to unfortunately in the ford of big bend that's where we saw helene make landfall in so many folks know it's not necessarily where the landfall is and where you're tracking the devastating results of the storm these are some of our rainfall totals on the highend 30 inches of rain from north georgia getting into the appalachian mountains, north carolina, south carolina all these communities saw a foot of rain from the system and those areas and all of the rain funnels downs to creeks and streams and flooding has been absolutely devastating. On top of that the winds in the rains knocked on a bunch of trees and cause power outages. We are still looking at three different states where power outages are up over half a million, what's the weather going to be like in these communities in the next couple of days if your without power, unfortunately it's that time of year, temperatures in the 80s, 90 degrees you're dealing with that without power if you're in the appalachian mountains a little bit cooler, rain on the way the next couple of days certainly is good to be a little bit to get this cleaned up. Thank you adam, to the race for the white house it remains close with several key states within the margin of error voters consider the economy, the border and immigration as top issues all of which should be issues for republicans, if the polling shows a close race, even with major issues benefiting republicans, the question is why, why is it still close, speaking of questions, vice president harris hasn't been getting many, when she does the details are sketchy. If you are hardworking, if you have the dreams and ambitions in the aspirations of what i believe that you do, you are in my plan. Expanding the child tax credit warehousing before if you can raise corporate taxes or if gop takes control of the senate where you get the money to do that. Organ have to raise corporate taxes we're going to have to raise and make sure the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. Some of her immediate interviews seem more like friendly job interviews then the vetting of the leader of the free world, i've actually gotten tougher questions ordering a drivethrough window then she gets from the national media. So much for speaking truth to power but voters don't seem to mind. These day candidates can get away with avoiding interviews and avoiding debates kamala harris visited the border which must've been on her bucket list because she has not been there much before, meanwhile trump is talking about the economy, manufacturing trade, tariffs and tax relief. If i'm elected president we will have the world's reserve currency in better shape and order in every country will follow it. If they don't, we will put tariffs on that country and we won't trade. The centerpiece of my plan for a manufacturing renaissance will be a 15% made in america tax rate. About the business tax rate from 39% or higher down to 3221%, now i'm doing a step further, i'm get a break down the 21% to 15%. She's also getting questions not just about his economic plan but other candidates like north carolina governor tori located at mark robinson kamala harris doesn't get questions about biden who she backed and vouched for his lucidity with the rest of us knew better, somehow trump is being asked about a guy from north carolina who engaged in highly inappropriate conduct. Joining us at townhall. Com political editor and the host of the guy benson show, guy benson, welcome, if the border immigration and the economy of the top issues it should portend success for republicans in the race look really close, why is that. Put simply were divided polarized country, people can maybe agree theoretically that trump would be better on the top issues but roughly 45 or 46 or 47% of the country is one way in a similar sized group about the other way no matter what that's the reality of our politics at the moment i would also remind people republicans seem to have those similar types of advantages in 2022 in the midterms of the big issue if you look at the historic trends that a lot of people expected a red wave, it didn't some places but certainly not nationwide but a presidential cycle is different, it's a much bigger electric yet lower propensity of voters that show up and we believe will favor donald trump a little bit more so, very close election polarized country, different ballgame. Tim walz and jd vance are debating this week or neroli vp debates don't matter, maybe this one won't either, is there a chance in a close race everything that matters. I think that's a fair question and it's hard to tell what moves the needle with anyone these days. For a while it felt like the one perhaps only debate between trump and harris was significant and might've helped her a little bit but some of the data came back and suggested not so much, now you go to the number two guy on the ticket is lacking to draw the audience in the eyeballs that we've seen previously i'm not sure, to your point i think people are like we know a lot about donald trump and we don't know that much about kamala harris an what's authentic about her what she would do as president, let's see trump's running mate, they cast him as a dour weirdo, is that true, tim walz they're trying to do the joy thing could he put any more meat on the bones in terms of policy, you have tens of millions of people watching, stuff will go viral, i suspect that jd vance will perform well he is an able and smart politician he was very good in his debates in ohio and the senate race. I will be watching with baited breath, i think it could be telling in a number of ways i think he will hold harris and walz's feet to the fire that we have not seen in any other setting, doesn't matter ultimately with the voters who will sway the election, we will find out but i am not sure. Trey: let me switch gears, some republican states scour the landscape looking for the only republican who actually cannot win statewide and then nominate the person, mark robinson and kari lake are behind in two important states for the former president will they drag him down or do you expect voters to split their ticket, how do you see that. Number one republican voters have to prioritize winning moving forward and i think they would argue and a lot of cases, they do but obviously poor choices have been made not just this year hypothetically looking at polling but back over recent cycles you look at the number of points left on the field after those elections and it can be very frustrating it's been costly in terms of what the country has faced in terms of policy, losing the georgia senate seats immensely costly, trillions of dollars were talking about with those two races going the wrong way in 2021. Your followup do some flawed candidates on the right hurt donald trump or other republicans on the ticket in those states be arizona or north carolina. I don't know you can point out flawed people on the left we don't tend to talk as much about them or those scandals because the media has less interest in doing so but based on what were seeing this far when you look at the polling out of arizona or north carolina, donald trump is massively at the top of the ticket over performing the two candidates that you mentioned. Even as robinson has fallen in his will has gotten deeper in north carolina, trump is holding serve in the same spot. I'm not sure will have that type of reverse coattail effect, we will know in a close election anything can matter. Trey: guy benson thank you for loaning us your political expertise on a sunday night, i will see you soon, if not on election night. Good to see you. Montana is always beautiful, this year it is beautiful and very important, control of the senate may come down to the big sky state, jon tester is no moderate and wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat does not change that. And yet he survived in the past, we shall see if he survived since most recent challenge from former navy seal current u. S. Senate candidate tim sheehy. Welcome, how are you, thank you for joining us and thank you for your service to our country. Thank you for your support and your service is a very important time for this nation we need great voices to speak the truth. Trey: jon tester has been tested before, different years, different candidates that he won in a red state and those of us that don't live in montana are wondering how, how can he win an estate is greatest montana. Is important to remember that a lot of our states and landscapes have about this past several years it used to be purple and now red and some b blue, the reality montana has become better and better over the past few cycles for one simple reason the democrat party continue the champion policy that are bad for america and bad for rural america and bad for montana whether it's energy, waging war on are: oil and gas and shutting down the keystone xl pipeline and open up our southern border and flooding our states with drug, fentanyl and crime, the democrat party and jon tester voted with them every single step of the way he's been a supporter of the bride inheres agenda and voted to impeach trump twice, voted against court nominees that trump forward he is been a rubberstamp for the bride inheres agenda and montana realizing that in the last three and half years you can't run from the record and most important you cannot run from the results of the record which is been disastrous for the entire country cheekily and montana it's a different environment and it's good to be very hard for him to justify how he's behave the last three and half years supporting the bite inheres agenda every time. Trey: the d. C. Media is certainly trying to help him they are pro train tester as a moderate, i really not think of a single time he has said no to chuck schumer, joe manchin, i get it, he is a moderate but jon tester i cannot think of a single time he stood up to chuck schumer and said no. You can't think of one because there never has been one, he is a rubberstamp with the schumer, bite inheres agenda and a lobbyist cashed of all candidates in the nation one of the top recipients and as you know with your experience on the hill chuck schumer will literally shake both in shake bills to protect people like jon tester and then the washington post in the new york times and the whole d. C. Swamp media will go over time to ensure that they are patting his resume, to protect him and wrapping him a bubblewrap while sending terrible torpedoes at us misconstruing everything we've ever said or done to help them along the way its full mobilization with the radical left media in the democrat party and the dark money machine to protect jon tester and most important late to hide his record into hide when he's actually done in office which is a lot our veterans, sellout our country, opener border, but for record inflation, tinker in industry and for america last, this is what the democrats have been doing for the last three and half years yet now on 2024 ticket montana is going to have a choice to choose for a prosperous three strong america or choose for more of the same but the last three and half years which is what jon tester has been voting for every time he's had the chance, you're absolutely right chuck schumer has been any controls jon tester he bought and paid for and showing polls as we've been speaking people montana waking up to this reality and begin to work hard for the next 35 days we have to keep the pedal to the metal but we're going to win this and put america first. Trey: i am reluctant to use the word battle for somebody who's been in a real battle and faced real bullets on behalf of this country. I will just say race, the race to control the senate may very well come down to the big sky state we will all be watching, thank you for your service to our country and for joining us on a sunday night.
