Yields on government bonds can tell us how investors think the Federal Reserve will act. In this episode, we break down what falling yields on short-, medium- and long-term Treasuries tell us about where we’re headed.

By the midpoint of 2025, the U.S. was on track to set a new yearly record in the number of reported data breaches.
That’s according to data compiled by the Identity Theft Resource Center.
One reason is the proliferation of artificial intelligence, which has made the work of criminal hackers easier, cheaper and scalable.
What does that mean for the rest of us?

Assassins and would-be assassins—Thomas Matthew Crooks, Ryan Routh, Luigi Mangione, and Tyler Robinson—have emerged from the shadows over the past year with their sights set on Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, and even former UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The common thread is that they’re all products of the radical Left.
Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the cultural climate that lowered the bar for political violence and the alarming public reactions that followed on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“When you combine those two facts, insidious though they are, that A) there are people out there who are unstable, who feel that they will be rewarded, no matter how deranged or demented that idea is, rewarded psychologically by taking the life of a controversial conservative figure, and 2) there may be people within the apparat who are responsible for the security who also feel that the person that they're supposed to protect may be not deserving of the excellent level of protection that is usually accorded to other people, then you have a recipe for disaster, and we've seen it happen.”

Mike Pesca is joined by CNN anchor and author Abby Phillip to discuss her new book, A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power. They explore Jackson's soaring, sermon-like rhetorical style and the hubris of the "tree shaker, not a jelly maker" philosophy. The conversation traces how Jackson's push to change delegate rules made the path possible for Barack Obama, even as the Obama campaign intentionally created contrast with Jackson's image. We dive into Jackson's unique brand of populism—more Bernie Sanders than Obama—and his surprising, Trumpian anti-globalist instincts regarding Japan and Germany. Plus, we discuss how his rhetorical style, while rousing, could also be exhausting, and why the most heartbreaking part of the world's chaos is the people who are okay with it.
