my sense is that jerome powell failed the marshmallow test. he ate the marshmallow at the november press conference. he wanted to declare victory on inflation too soon. if he had shown a little self-restraint financial conditions would not have eased and inflation and economic activity would not be re-accelerating as we have now. i think despite their predilection to want to cut, the fed will possibly have to stay higher for longer. it all depends on what the fed does. katie: i have heard people tell me over the past few weeks that the fed wants to cut but they can't yet. why do you think they want to cut? why is that the narrative? scott: jerome powell said it in front of congress. katie: that's true. scott: i take him at his word. david: coming back to trump for a second, your name has come up as maybe playing some role. if you had conversations with the former president his team that would indicate to you where he thinks he wants to go economically? scott: sure. what i will say is i'm not going to repeat private conversations but i think a
