Welcome back to FAST MONEY. We've got a first look
at Lester Holt's exclusive interview with President Biden.
Let's get back to Eamon Javers for the headlines.
Eamon.
Melissa, that's right. Lester Holt has wrapped up that interview.
And in the interview, President Joe Biden suggests that he
needs to defend his political rhetoric,
but he says it's really Donald Trump political record That
is the one that's irresponsible.
Take a look at this exchange from the interview.
Do you just not say anything because I may incite
somebody?
Look, I have not engaged in that rhetoric.
Now my my opponent is against that rhetoric.
He talks about to be a bloodbath if he loses,
talking about how he's going to forgive all the actually,
I guess, suspend the sentences of all those who were
arrested and sentenced to go to jail because of what
happened to the Capitol.
So you see there the president of the United States
stumbling a little bit over the answer,
but making the case that it's Donald Trump's rhetoric that
is irresponsible in this political climate.
And we'll see what the response is from here in
Milwaukee,
WI, as the Republican National Convention is underway here.
And we do expect to hear from Donald Trump later
in the week.
And we'll see whether the assassination attempt on him over
the weekend changes some of the rhetoric here on this
side of the political aisle as well as we go
into the rest of this convention list.
So back over to you,
Amon. Thank you.
