This needs to be 'priority number one' for the Trump campaign: Todd Piro

MARIA: IT IS TIME FOR THE HOT TOPIC OF HOUR, CANDIDATES HITTING THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, PRESIDENT TRUMP BACK IN MICHIGAN WHILE THE HARRIS TEAM WILL BE IN SAVANNAH GEORGIA THAT'S WHERE SHE WILL SIT DOWN FOR THE FIRST MEETING INTERVIEW SINCE BIDEN DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE 40 DAYS AGO, THOUGH SHE'S BEEN OUT AND FOR A SOLO APPEARANCE SHE IS SITTING WITH CNN DANA BASH ALONGSIDE OF HER RUNNING MATE TIM WALZ THIS IS WHERE WE GET A SNEAK PEAK INTO WHAT IT'S LIKE TO INTERVIEW THE VICE PRESIDENT THE NEW YORK TIMES AS ONE OF THE REPORTERS TO DESCRIBE THE PROCESS FROM THE TWO TIMES SHE SPOKE WITH KAMALA HARRIS DESCRIBE IT AS ARGUE WAS. I WAS TRYING TO SIT THERE PLATITUDE TO FIND A SPECIFIC VISION OF THE STORY THAT SHE WAS TELLING ABOUT HERSELF BECAUSE IT WAS NOT CLEAR, WHEN SHE SAT DOWN I ASKED HER IF SHE LIKED HER JOB AND SHE SAID SHE DID BUT SHE DIDN'T LIKE DOING THIS, I THOUGHT SHE WOULD WANT TO TELL THE STORY ON THAT FRONT END WAS THE PART SHE DID NOT. MARK TEPPER I DON'T KNOW IF GET A LOT OF WORD SOLIDS TONIGHT OR IF WE WILL GET LOW ENOUGH QUESTIONS OR IT SHALL BE HONEST WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> THIS IS AN INTERVIEW ON A FRIENDLY NETWORK WITH A FRIENDLY INTERVIEWER WHERE THERE WILL BE SOFTBALL QUESTIONS SHE PROBABLY KNOWS ALL THE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE, PRERECORDED AND SHE STILL CANNOT RUN THIS SOLO SHE STILL NEEDS A WING MAN WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SECURE THE MOST SUPPORT POSITION IN THE WORLD AND ENTER TO COWARDLY TO GO OUT AND DO A ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEW THAT THE PROBLEM. TO YOUR POINT ABOUT HER WORD SOLIDS THAT'S PROBABLY WHY TIM WALZ IS THERE TO JUMP IN AND PROTECT HER IN THE EVENT THAT SHE STARTS TO USE HER EXAGGERATED HAND GESTURE AND SHE STARTS TO TALK IN CIRCLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT IS WHAT HE'S THERE FOR, IT'S INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING. MARIA: ONE OF THE MOST SUPPORT THINGS AFTER TONIGHT'S INTERVIEW TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE HECK KAMALA HARRIS IS ON THE MAJOR ISSUES. IT'S A FLIP-FLOPPING GOING ON. I WANT TO BAN ON FRACKING, THEY DON'T WANT TO BAN ON FRACKING, MEDICARE FOR ALL, THE AIDE SAID SHE DOES NOT WANT THAT FOX NEWS POLL SHOWING A NEAR DEAD HEAT BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE PRESIDENT HERE'S IN THE SUN BELT STATE HARRIS EDGING OUT TRUMP BY ONE POINT ARIZONA, GEORGIA AND NEVADA TRUMP UP BY ONE POINT IN NORTH CAROLINA OVER THE BATTLEGROUND STATES HARRIS IS UP ON TRUMP 50 - 49 AMAZINGLY EVEN THOUGH NOBODY KNOWS WHERE SHE STANDS ON THE ISSUES VOTERS SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL DO A BETTER JOB ON THE ISSUES MOST IMPORTANT TO VOTERS THAT INCLUDE IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY AND THE ECONOMY. HERE'S SPEECH TRUMP ON HEALTHCARE AND ABORTION. TODD PIRO YOUR REACTION. >> MY REACTION YOU WILL NOT CONVINCE THE DEMOCRATS TO VOTE FOR JUMP BASED UPON THE ISSUES THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ISSUES THEY WANT KAMALA HARRIS BECAUSE OF THE TOUCHY-FEELY REASONS WE ARTICULATED MULTIPLE TIMES, YOU NEED TO GET THE INDEPENDENTS IN THE INTERVIEW AND OBVIOUSLY THE DEBATE EVEN MORE SO ARE THE KEY FACTORS. YOU HAVE TO TRANSLATE THE EDGE THAT TRUMP HAS ON IMMIGRATION IN THE ECONOMY INTO VOTES. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS TRUMP IS LOSING IN THREE STATES HE WAS WAITING A MONTH AGO. I UNDERSTAND POLLS ARE POLLS AND THEY CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE PROCESS BUT I WOULD RATHER WIN THAN LOSE, I UNDERSTAND TRUMP OVER PERFORMS ON THE ACTUAL ELECTION BUT THAT'S THE REALITY. I WANT TO BE WINNING YOU NEED TO TRANSLATE THOSE INDEPENDENTS AND FORCING HER ON THE ISSUES NEEDS TO BE PRIORITY ONE FOR THE CHOP CAMPAIGN AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAPPENS TONIGHT ISSUES ARE HOPE AND JOY. MARIA: THAT'S WHAT THE CHOP CAMPAIGN CAME OUT WITH QUESTIONS THAT THEY THINK DANA BASH SHOULD ASK THEY HAVE A WHOLE LIST OF QUESTIONS ABOUT MANY OF HER FLIP-FLOPS. AT THE END OF THE DAY THE AMERICAN DREAM IS FEELING OUT OF REACH FOR MANY PEOPLE. THAT IS ACCORDING TO A NEW WALL STREET JOURNAL NRC POOL, 89% OF THE RESPONDENTS SAY THAT OWNING A HOME IS ESSENTIAL TO THEIR LIVELIHOOD BUT ONLY 10% SAY IT'S EASY TO ACHIEVE, FINANCIAL SECURITY IN A COMFORTABLE RETIREMENT AT THE TOP OF THE CENTRALS LIST, AGAIN LESS THAN 10% THINK THEY CAN HAVE THAT. WHEN IT COMES TO THE AMERICAN DREAM, ONLY 34% SAY IT'S REAL, 49% SAY IT NO LONGER EXIST. >> IT'S BEEN A ROUGH FOUR YEARS, IF WE RENTED THE MATH THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS 75 GRAND THAT'S A LITTLE MORE THAN $6000 A MONTH, LET'S GO TO THE EXPENSES, AVERAGE MORTGAGE PAYMENT 2500 A MONTH AVERAGE COST FOR A CAR WITH GAS AND AUTO INSURANCE BUILT-IN $1000, GROCERIES $1000, UTILITIES 500, CHILDCARE 1500 A MONTH WERE ABOVE THE 6000-DOLLAR BOGEY ALREADY. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE 1.1 TRILLION IN CREDIT CARD DEBT. THIS IS WHY YOU SEE PEOPLE IN GROCERY STORES USING BUY NOW PAY LATER TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE. YOU HAVE TO ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL JUST TO MAKE ENDS MEET. MARIA: IT'S INCREDIBLY DISINGENUOUS TO TALK ABOUT INFLATION OUT OF CONTROL AND BLAMING CORPORATION PRICE GOUGING AND NOT ONCE MENTIONING $7 TRILLION IN SPENDING BY THE DEMOCRATS. >> IT'S NOT THE SUPERMARKET, I KNOW IN NEW ENGLAND THEY CLOSE STOP & SHOP LEFT AND RIGHT THEY WOULD NOT DO IF THE STORES WERE MAKING MONEY. IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT MY PROBLEM ABOUT A HOUSE AT 2020 I GOT LUCKY IN TERMS OF MY TIMING. IF I TRIED TO BUY MY HOUSE TODAY WITH THE SAME SALARY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD MY HOUSE COMBINED WITH CHILDCARE AND ALL OF THAT. THE AMERICAN DREAM SHOULD NOT BE BASED SOLELY AROUND BLOCK. IT SHOULD NOT BE. MARIA: THE PAYMENTS WILL BE HIGHER BECAUSE OF THE 7% MORTGAGE
