Scott Jennings Mocks Richard Quest: You Called a Recession Last April, You Took Your Shoe Off

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: "I just want to point out, you called the recession. You called it. You took your shoe off."

QUEST: "Would you like to see that again?"

JENNINGS: "You took your shoe off. You brought cookies out here."

QUEST: "15% shoe!"

JENNINGS: "You took your shoe off and you said there was going to be a recession."

QUEST: "Listen, Scott — "

JENNINGS: "GDP is 3%."

QUEST: "It's too early to give a final verdict."

JENNINGS: "He called it."

PHILLIP: "All right, Scott, Scott — "

QUEST: "It‘s too early. Just a second, Abby. He‘s basically calling me — calling me out here. It‘s too early to give a final verdict on the tariffs. You may wish to, but at the moment, it can‘t be said what the long-term effect is going to be."

JENNINGS: "Richard, I am just a journalist — "

QUEST: "No, you're not."

JENNINGS: " — and all I can do is read the economic data."

PHILLIP: "Scott, it‘s a bit of a stretch, but — "

JENNINGS: "3% GDP. Trade deals. Record high in the stock market. Cooling inflation."

QUEST: "These trade deals are garbage."

JENNINGS: "Garbage?"

QUEST: "Yes!"

JENNINGS: "Oh, brother."
