Monday, November 2, 2026

Good morning! On this day in 2010, Nathan Deal was elected governor of Georgia, defeating former governor Roy Barnes. Deal was re-elected in 2014.

The clocks fell back this weekend, and almost nobody is happy about it. But ending the time change is harder than it sounds. America tried going without it once, and what happened that winter turned the whole country around in a matter of weeks. Fifty years later, the fight is back on, so how did we end up changing our clocks in the first place, and is this the year it finally stops? On today’s episode of Flyover Focus, we dig into the strange history of Daylight Saving Time, the 1974 experiment that changed everything, and the three ways this could all end. Tune in here!

Today’s sponsor, RAD Intel, builds and acquires businesses powered by its proprietary AI, with more than 30,000 shareholders and a portfolio that has signed over 200 enterprise contracts in 2026—explore its investment offering today.
