    Madison’s Notes: The Phoenix Rises: On Restoring Notre Dame Cathedral with Philippe Villeneuve

    Philippe Villeneuve has been chief architect of Notre Dame Cathedral since 2013. On the night of the shocking 2019 fire, he learned by phone that the building he had loved since boyhood, and modeled in miniature at just 16, was burning. In this conversation with host Ryan Shinkel, he traces how a career spent restoring fire-damaged monuments prepared him for the five-year effort to bring the cathedral back, and explains why he describes the result not as a restoration but as a restitution. Along the way he makes the case for Eugène Viollet-le-Duc as the father of his discipline, defends the judgment of the craftsman against the certainties of computer modeling, and recounts the three “miracles” he found in the ruins. Underneath it all runs a striking humility: the conviction that he is a single point in a long story, preparing the cathedral for generations he will never meet.

    Daily Signal: Victor Davis Hanson: The Dangerous Consequences of the Democrats’ Midterm Victory

    The Democrats have ridden a blue wave to victory in the 2026 midterms, but what does that mean for President Donald Trump and the future of America? From the economy and the war with Iran to the growing influence of the socialist left, the election raises serious questions about what went wrong for Republicans and what comes next. With control of Congress shifting and the 2028 presidential election on the horizon, the stakes extend far beyond the next two years. Could a Republican comeback be possible, or is America headed toward a fundamental political transformation?

    Erick breaks down the Republican wipeout in the 2026 midterms, from Texas and Georgia to South Carolina and Kansas, and argues the Trump-era GOP lost the multiracial, multiethnic coalition it built in 2024. He walks through the exit polling on inflation, tariffs, corruption, the Iran war and immigration enforcement, then explains why JD Vance blaming only the war offers an echo, not a choice, and why the loss is recoverable. Midterm wipeout: Republicans lose Texas, Georgia and South Carolina ground as Hispanic voters swing to Democrats, 62 to 35 Exit poll breakdown: 79 percent report inflation hardship, 64 percent say tariffs hurt the economy, 63 percent call the Iran attack the wrong decision Why "it was just gas prices and the war" is wrong: affordability, corruption, tariffs, deportation overreach and the ballroom JD Vance, 2028 and Reagan's "a choice, not an echo" after the 1974 Watergate wipeout Why it is recoverable: the Senate map, Nebraska and North Carolina ballot measures, and majority support for capitalism and low taxes

    The Learning Curve: Dr. John Ferling on Jefferson, Hamilton, & Federalism

    This week, on The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools and Prof. Albert Cheng of The Ohio State University speak with Dr. John Ferling, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of West Georgia. Prof. Ferling explains how Jefferson and Hamilton’s sharply different political and economic convictions shaped the early American republic. He explores Jefferson’s American Revolutionary politics, mistrust of centralized power, and more states-driven vision for the nation. Ferling also discusses how Hamilton’s military service under George Washington shaped his case for an energetic national government and political economy grounded in commerce, banking, and manufacturing. He examines the two statesmen’s cabinet clashes, their 1790 compromise, and competing views on constitutionalism, debt, tariffs, and foreign policy. Ferling also considers their responses to the French Revolution, the Jay Treaty, and the Alien and Sedition Acts. He explores Jefferson's victory in the election of 1800, Hamilton’s mortal conflict with Aaron Burr, and how the enduring legacy of Jefferson and Hamilton's rivalry still influences American political life and policy today. Prof. Ferling closes with a reading from his book, Jefferson and Hamilton: The Rivalry That Forged a Nation.

    Heritage Explains: A Tough Night for Conservatives: Now What? | Steve Chartan

    Heritage co-founder Dr. Ed Feulner had a well-known saying. “In Washington, there are no permanent victories or permanent defeats.” But victories and defeats there are, and President Trump and the Republican Party received a decisive defeat at the ballot box in yesterday’s midterm election. As of this morning’s recording, Democrats have secured significant majorities in both the House and Senate, and have lost several key governorships across the country. Even in places where President Trump had a commanding lead in the 2024 election, support for Republicans has collapsed. No better example of this is Texas, where Democrats have secured victories in all statewide races, including for Senator and Governor. This outcome was considered a stretch by analysts on the left and unthinkable by those on the right. It’s clear that the 2026 midterm elections will be an inflection point in American political life. And that begs the question: what next? Here to help us understand what happened and where we go from here is the Executive Vice President of Heritage Action, Steve Chartan.

    The American Idea: Jefferson’s Other Declarations: His Enduring Impact on American Politics and Culture

    Famous for the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson spent the rest of his life thinking and writing with an eye toward changing public and political ideas and norms. Professor Jeremy Bailey, author of a new book on the subject, discusses with Jeff three other ‘declarations’ Jefferson made during his long public life, commenting on a free press, native lands and peoples, and slavery. Jefferson wrote knowing that his words would become public, and would likely be read for years, and continued debates over these three issues is proof of his 250-year reach through our history, politics, and culture.

    Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into former Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Haley Stevens endorsing GOP nominee Mike Rogers over DemocratAbdul El-Sayed, PBS & Politifact telling us it's totally normal not to know who won on Election Night, the left building momentum for making the Death Tax much worse, and a dead dog getting his voting rights restored in Virginia. First, they dive into how Haley Stevens went from planning to be at a Democratic Party unity rally on Sunday to endorsing Republican Mike Rogers instead. They also react to the volcanic Democratic Party rage aimed at Stevens ever since. Next, they shake their heads as PBS and Politifact try to downplay expectations of concrete election results on Election Night. Jim and Greg explain how, with some exceptions, we should absolutely expect to know who won on Election Night and should not accept anything less.

Jim and Greg have a simple suggestion for him. Finally, they roll their eyes as Virginia officials restored the voting rights of a dog that died five years ago. But the story gets even more insane.
