As they spoke, the two men sat across from each other. It was obvious that Bernstein was frustrated by Cavuto’s doubts.
The heated discussion quickly ended when Bernstein was bitten by a wasp near the end of the interview.
“I am watching a wasp that’s flying right around me right now,”Bernstein said it while trying to avoid the insect.
Cavuto responded with a joke “must be CNN”.
As the White House’s economic advisor looked for the wasp, he attempted to talk about the future of inflation. He almost yelled at the audience. “oh s***”as the wasp flew towards them.
Cavuto quickly interjected, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I’m going to let you go – last thing I want to do is see you get stung. As long as the American people aren’t getting stung by inflation.”
Before Bernstein made a joke, the two men laughed. “That’s nice to hear, I wasn’t sure where you stood on the should Jared get stung.”
As the interview ended, Bernstein continued to avoid the wasp while he dodged his head.
