Paris Curfews, Rays-Brewers World Series, and Sleep Cursing

Tuesday, October 20, 2026

Good Morning! On this day in 1803, the Senate ratified the Louisiana Purchase Treaty, doubling the size of the United States for $15 million, possibly the greatest real estate deal in history.

Nearly one in three weddings now lasts three days, according to a new report. However long the party ran, the first dance tends to stick. Hit reply and tell us your first-dance song and the year. We may share a few favorites in an upcoming edition.

What does $1 million actually get you once retirement hits? A life of cruises and beach houses, or something far more ordinary? How much disappears into housing before the first trip is booked? What happens when the medical bills arrive, and is there anything left for the grandkids? And the biggest factor in how far a million goes: It’s not the stock market, and it surprises almost everyone. On today’s episode of The Flyover Podcast, Ayla counts down the five things you need to know about retiring with seven figures. Tune in here!

Today's sponsor, American Hartford Gold, is sharing Elon Musk's warning about America's mounting national debt and offering a free guide to help Americans explore ways to protect their retirement savings.

Trump to France: ‘Close the Borders, Fast’

President Trump urged France to "CLOSE THE BORDERS, FAST" on Monday after a weekend of rioting left nearly 1,000 police officers injured, about 2,400 people under arrest, and at least 3,000 businesses damaged. “The migrants have taken over France,” he wrote on Truth Social.

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu ordered overnight curfews in parts of Paris and several northern cities, blaming “ultra-left" groups. President Emmanuel Macron refused to accept his interior minister’s resignation, even after the minister admitted police had “lost control” in some cities.

Some 550,000 people marched Saturday. Rioters gutted the 19th-century city hall in Limoges, torched Lyon’s tourist office, and smashed luxury boutiques in Paris. See photos here.

Not everyone was rattled. A couple was filmed sharing a drink and a cigarette at a bistro table near the Arc de Triomphe as fires burned behind them, and a jogger wove past burning e-bikes. The Louvre closed Monday, and unions have called a nationwide strike for Nov. 5.

Musk Pledges Stock Giveaways to Kids

Elon Musk said Monday he will give one of his SpaceX shares to every child in America next year, a pledge worth roughly $10.5 billion at Friday’s closing price of $146.03.

“Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many,” he wrote on X, without saying how the shares would be distributed or who counts as a kid.

The post answered a Sunday announcement from AI developer Anthropic, which committed 5% of its shares to a new Public Benefit Fund, with over 1% more for every 50% rise in the company’s value. Musk had replied that Anthropic should give the shares “directly to the public” instead.

Both companies are under scrutiny over AI’s effect on jobs, and Anthropic is preparing a stock listing that could value it above $1 trillion. The Census Bureau counts about 72 million Americans under 18, and SpaceX stock rose more than 2% in early Monday trading.

1 in 3 Weddings Now Last Three Days

Nearly one in three American weddings now stretches across three days or more, according to a new report from The Knot, as couples turn the big day into a weekend of welcome dinners, ceremonies, and day-after brunches.

The wedding-planning site’s annual trends report, drawn from the planning habits of 1.7 million U.S. couples, found searches for coastal Italian “beach club” weddings up 315% from a year ago. Antique lace searches are up 280%, and silver flatware and cool-toned decor searches are up 133%.

Food is becoming the entertainment, with searches for roaming caviar, oyster, and cannoli carts up 66%. Couples are also registering for camcorders, record players, and old-fashioned cocktail glasses.

All of it adds up. Wedding spending was up 8.5% through May this year, according to Bank of America card data. The Knot’s editorial director told the media that couples’ “No. 1 priority is now the guest experience.”

Elon Musk has avoided two major financial crises before. He pulled Tesla and SpaceX back from the brink of collapse and built two of the most valuable companies in history.

Now, he’s sounding the alarm about America’s $40 Trillion debt time bomb that could destroy the fabric of our society.

While head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Trump, Musk exposed just how bad things are:

✅ Runaway government spending has pushed national debt to unsustainable levels
✅ The Federal Reserve’s rate hikes are squeezing the economy, making inflation irreversible
✅ The stock market is on shaky ground, putting traditional 401(k)s, IRAs, and TSPs at risk

That’s why financial elites aren’t waiting to react; they're moving their wealth now.

For the everyday American who’s worked hard to build their nest egg, Trump preserved an IRS loophole that allows you to protect your retirement savings before billions in American wealth are lost.
