Kashkari will be on Bloomberg TV next.

CNBC's Joe Kernan tried to make sure Kashkari will never go on his show again.

"I think you and all your friends might get bailed out because you inflated the assets with QE and zero and now you get tax reform and some deregulation and the underlying economy might even catch up.

Do you want to say that right now? Thank you Donald Trump."

Kashkari: "I'll just say this. I have not yet changed my economic forecast for fiscal policy."

Kernen (interrupts): "That's coming, that's coming. You're going to do that."

An embarrassed Becky Quick then asks a question about business confidence.
