What's up, sunshine? Today is Monday,
November 10th, and I'm so happy to be
back with you. Thank you for all the
birthday wishes and making your boy feel
loved. In honor of International Tongue
Twister Day yesterday, let's get the
juices flowing with this one. Unique New
York five times real fast. Unique New
York. Unique New York. Unique New York.
Unique New York. Unique New York. Good
luck. Now, let's get to your news. We
begin in Brazil where the world's
biggest climate conference is underway.
Leaders from some of the world's most
powerful nations are meeting at the UN's
COP 30 summit. Why? To find ways to
combat the challenges presented by our
planet's changing climate. One of the
dignitaries was the UK's Prince William,
who in recent years has launched his own
bid to combat climate change. Williams
started the Earthshot Prize in 2020 with
the ambitious goal of funding 50
solutions to environmental problems
within a decade. His Royal Foundation
gives annual prizes of more than a
million dollars each to five
environmental innovators helping to make
the planet a better place.
>> I think it's really important again it's
you you have to provide a leadership and
a and a vision that there's there's good
things to come and that it's not all
negative. And for my children
particularly, knowing that the the
planet's going to be in a healthier,
better state because of the brilliant
people in this room is is something that
I love to tell them, you know, when they
go to bed.
>> One of this year's winners, an
organization called Re Green, is using
groundbreaking techniques to help save
the Amazon rainforest. They use drones
and AI tech to identify areas of the
rainforest that are most suitable for
restoration. So far, they've rehabbed
nearly 30,000 acres and created more
than 200 jobs along with it. uses.
>> Now to an update on last month's
audacious heist at France's famed Louv
Museum. Have you heard about the
password? To briefly recap, four thieves
made off with pieces of priceless
jewelry in broad daylight. Well, a new
report is highlighting some security
flaws. The report from the French Court
of Accounts accuses the museum of
prioritizing high-profile purchases and
renovations at the expense of security
and ignoring gaps in security for years.
that includes a 2014 audit that showed
the password for the museum security
camera system was simply Lou, not move
it or leave it one, two, three, not
smile Mona Lisa exclamation point. It
was simply Lou. The report also
highlighted that security upgrades
recommended in 2015 were not scheduled
to be completed until at least 2032. So
far, no Lou executives or staff have
been fired following the theft.
Pop quiz hot shot. Who was the first
woman elected to the US Congress?
Shirley Chisel, Janette Rankin, Nancy
Pelosi, or Elizabeth Katie Stanton.
If you said Janette Rankin, give me a
Yeah, girl. Miss Rankin was a Republican
from Montana who was elected in 1916, a
full four years before women gained the
right to vote. One of the most
influential women in politics, Nancy
Pelosi, sent waves across Capitol Hill
last week, announcing that she will not
seek another term in next year's midterm
elections. The California Congresswoman
is 85 years old, and she's been one of
the Democratic Party's most powerful
voices for decades. She posted a video
message on social media dedicating it to
her congressional district, which
includes San Francisco. For decades, I
have cherished the privilege of
representing our magnificent city in the
United States Congress.
It seems prophetic now that the slogan
of my very first campaign in 1987 was a
voice that will be heard and it was you
who made those words come true. The
trailblazing Pelosi made history in 2006
by becoming the first woman-eleed
speaker of the house, a role she served
from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to
2023. She also served two decades as the
House Democratic Party leader, making
her the only woman to lead a major party
in either chamber of Congress. All
right, this next story is totally
awesome. The National Toy Hall of Fame
named its three inductees for 2025. All
exceedingly important and fun
contributions to many childhoods. The
first battleship.
>> You sunk my battleship.
>> The strategy and guessing game involves
calling out the numbers of the
coordinates where you think your
opponent's battleships are sitting on
their board in an attempt to sink them.
More than 100 million copies have been
sold. Did you know this game was
originally played with paper and a
pencil long time ago? Also getting the
nod, Trivial Pursuit. One of the most
famous board games in history. Players
flex their noggin to answer trivia
questions on everything from pop culture
to geography in a bid to earn colored
wedges and bragging rights. Of course,
the game originally released in 1981 and
its impact was anything but trivial.
Also selling more than 100 million
copies worldwide, spurring special
editions on everything from Disney
movies to World of Warcraft. And the
final honore is good. Slime is a hall of
famer. The gooey colorful substance can
be stretched and squeezed. It can go
splat. And it's fun to make at home as
well. With shaving cream, contact
solution, and Elmer's glue. Slime was
originally released by Mattel in 1976.
Did you know? And it's become
ubiquitous, or shall we say ubiquitous
in the world of toys. Next up, a story
about continuing to pursue your passions
even after you think you should stop.
Lindsey Vaughn, one of the greatest
skiers of all time, the only American
woman to win an Olympic gold in the
downhill, retired from her sport about 5
years ago, but now at 41 years old, she
is back. I caught up with her in New
York City as she prepares to compete in
her fifth Olympic Games. Fast forward to
the end of these games, no matter what
happens. What are you going to be most
proud of yourself or even going to them?
I'm just proud that I'm here and I'm
doing it and I'm doing what I believe
in, what I believe I'm capable of. You
know, I've already gotten back on the
podium at 40 years old last year. You
know, that's so much more than anyone
ever thought was possible, including
myself, cuz I never thought I would be
here. So, no matter what happens this
year, no matter how the Olympics go, um
this was an incredible opportunity, an
incredible journey. Of course, everyone
knows I'm very competitive, so I really
don't want to go away empty-handed, but
um but it's all about perspective, so I
definitely have that.
>> Love that. So, you wrote an email to dad
letting him know you're coming back.
>> If you wrote an email to young Lindsay,
say 17-year-old Lindsay, you started out
this Olympic journey. Um what would you
say to her about all that she was going
to face and how scared she would be at
times, how excited she would be at
times? I would never write myself an
email because I have to experience all
the hardships in order to appreciate the
success. And I've had to go through
every different obstacle in life to be
in this position right now to have this
perspective that I have right now. And I
wouldn't change that for anything. So
even though I've crashed, even though
I've had surgeries, even though I've had
all these bad things happen to me, I'm
lucky. I'm thankful I'm here. And uh I
don't want to change that. So, I don't
want to tell myself anything.
>> That's amazing. Isn't that the great
lesson though to the next generation?
Like, embrace your struggles. Your tough
times can make you tougher.
>> Well, that's what I don't think the next
generation understands that failure is a
privilege because it's the best lesson
you'll ever get. And everyone fails all
the time, every day. Don't don't hold
that over yourself. Learn and move
forward. Always keep moving forward.
Failure is a blessing.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.
You on October 10th 1010, we asked you
to submit your 10 out of 10 moments from
the year so far. And the response was so
epic, so inspiring, we decided to do
this on the 10th of every month. That
was actually one of your suggestions. I
think without further ado, we give you
you,
[Applause]
Miss Alvarez at Okarti Public Schools,
who sent this picture of the boys
baseball team, which won the 2025
Oklahoma State Championships for fall
ball for the first time in school
history. Watch this.
[Applause]
Teamwork, dream work. Way to go,
Warriors. And we got this clawsome photo
from Oliver Jorgensson who wrote the
awesome thing that happened to me this
year. We got a kitten. Meow. As a cat
guy, this is perfect. Welcome to the
fam, Rocky.
And from Shaina at Tach Choppy High
School who made this in robotics class
with a friend. She says the video shows
their robot sorting colored pingpong
balls using complex series of coding.
Uh, what in the world? You guys are
awesome. This next one comes from Sophie
Snow at Elen Middle School in Elen,
North Carolina, who learned how to play
a Nirvana song on the guitar in just two
days.
Rock on, Sophie. Keep up the good work.
Finally, 16-year-old Trayvon Critlau
shared these beautiful photos from his
greatg grandmother's 100th birthday
celebration. He says, quote, "I think
that's my 20 out of 10 moment, and I
will never forget it." Unquote. No
doubt, buddy. We never know how much
time we have with the elders in our
lives. So, great job celebrating that,
Trayvon. We love hearing from all of the
good news going on in your lives, and
we're going to be doing this on December
10th again. So, keep them coming. What
