[Assistant] And they will provide an interim report in 60 days and a final report by the end of this year so that we can move forward with a better understanding of how these...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can't intentionally look for a US person's information unless they believe it's a legitimate foreign target, but otherwise they're free to collect data, uhm, pretty much unrestricted abroad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This slide indicated the use of a specific Google cookie, it's called a pref cookie, that's set by Google, even if you've never been on Google.com. In fact, when you turned on your computer and opened the browser, you were likely to get one of these cookies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Google's using a tracking cookie, the NSA can sit back and see all that stuff go by. They can monitor all of that activity, all those cookies, and use it in order to track your browsing activity or inject malware into your computer. And if they sent you malware, it would take over your computer and essentially let them access all your data, all your keystrokes, all your passwords, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we were going back and forth and the Google person was insisting that this is not a tracking cookie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a personal hit on me and that really surprised me that they would go after me personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so my editor talked to Google and said, is anything technically wrong with the story? And the person said, uhm, no, in fact it was very technically accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What Mark Klein found was an infrastructure that suggested that the government was copying all traffic going through the AT&T internet backbone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this was important because if one can split the light or divert the light out of one of those networks, one can copy everyone's traffic on the network. It's kind of unfathomable amount of information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These companies are in a very difficult spot because the types of activities they engage in is very similar to surveillance. It is surveillance just for advertising rather than for law enforcement. The private sector is where the whole game is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I were to go, uh, attach alligator clips to the phone wire, uh, via felony, I'd go to prison for that. Uhm, what Gmail


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Proposed was exactly that, a kind of wiretap of all email looking at the content to pitch advertising in real time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The moment you allow people to look at the content of your communication for some advertising purpose, uhm, is the moment that the government is going to come along and say, if you're going to let them listen in for advertising, why don't you let us listen in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For anti-terrorism or for serious crimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It becomes very difficult for courts to say that the private sector can listen in, but the government can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a fantastic tool to see who, uh, one communicates and associates with, what they're interested in, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said we're gonna basically recover our costs and make a profit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By showing ads when you send email or when you receive email and in order to determine what ads to show you, they read your emails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Glenn Greenwald, one of the world's busiest journalists is sitting in his home in Rio and he sees an email from someone he doesn't know. It's not a friend, it's not his mum, uh, and it just says, I've got some stuff you might be interested in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy, or girl, we don't know who it is, uhm, is persistent, so a few days later emails again and says, look, Glenn, can you do this thing? And Glenn still doesn't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This attempt basically to leak all of these secrets uh, initially just goes straight into the sand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're kind of quite excited, but there's also a sort of feeling that maybe this is just the most terrific hoax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kind of quite a moment there in a secure space, and so Laura creeps forward to go and see Glenn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They kind of can't control their excitement because this, this is clearly the biggest story, uhm, that anyone's worked on since the Pentagon Papers in the 1970s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snowden's instructions to Glenn and Laura are like a kind of magical mystery tour, crossed with something out of John Le Carre. Uhm, he tells them to go to a hotel, the Mirror Hotel in Hong Kong, uhm, and says that he will meet them in a less trafficked part of the hotel, next to a shopping mall, uhm, by a bench and a crocodile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of a sudden, this guy comes past with a Rubik's Cube. Scramble up, which is part of the kind of code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the man before them is not what they expected. They expected some grizzled CIA veteran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wearing a blue blazer, maybe with a bit of dandruff, with a tie, receding grey hair, and they get this callow, sort of thin-limbed student type who looks as if he's just out of high school. And he is their source. And he's supposedly the guy who's, who's got the crown jewels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, Steve. I bought season's tickets to the New York Knicks every year the past 25 years. You think I like winning?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, Snow, but this is important. I have something to tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you here anyway? And don't say it's cause you care about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The crane has been taking photos. No, lots of photos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop this shit. Right now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crane watched me through the magic mirror, uncover his room at the open arms, and then he smashed it so we couldn't use it ourselves to go after it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't have time to wait for the mirror. Crane could be getting on a train right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's if he's even going there. We're trusting a monkey's interpretation of a phone call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holly has Lily's things. That'd probably be the safer bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know who you are, flycatcher. You've worked at the Woodlands for how many years now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was hoping to have a talk with Dee. They're dumb. Do you know where they are?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's official fabled town business. Don't worry. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dear Brother D, I think we should get ourselves a dog. Sincerely, Brother Dumb. Couple of freaks. This is pointless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He owes the crooked man money. Shit. How is he planning to pay this all back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Request for property acquisition, further details filed under donkey skin. Crane hired them to look for a photo? Why did he want it back so badly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't found anything yet. I'm just saying. Look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just trust me on this, Tweedledee and Dum are not nice. They're not helping anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, great, they helped you. That's one person. Now please, just let me concentrate here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Detective Brannigan? Keep an eye on her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big B? Shit. There's something here. I know there is. There has to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would there be anything to- Because they're lying to you, okay flycatcher? That's why. They aren't detectives. They shot at Snow White.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything about crane. Or the witch he was using. Something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crooked man. Care of the lucky pawn. You know what that is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so, but it's interesting. There's more going on here. I still need to find that witch though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Crane is gone now. I, I can't see why you couldn't come back to the Woodlands. Really? That would be, thank you. Come by the business office. I can't make any promises.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No address yet, but I got a name for Crane's witch, Auntie Greenleaf. You heard of her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Snow, I found a note with some money attached. Crane has been embezzling from Fable Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go to the trip trap, see about Lily's things. I think that's our best option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're closed. Guys, open up. It's the sheriff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay, before you get all huffy, it was Snow who let me go, alright? It just, there was no sense in me staying in jail. She, she said so herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't soil yourself, Woody. Sure he understands. Luckily for you, I don't have the time to get pissed off about this right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brent. What? He's a traveler. A weary traveler in search of some hospitality, right? Yeah, sure. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna drink. Anybody else wanna drink?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Friend, Swineheart said you shouldn't mix it with- You think I give a fuck what that fucking guy says? Or what you say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gives you a very, very, very nice high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, he did. He certainly did. Let me tell you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't felt this good in a long time, fat boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you seen her sister's things? What wasn't burned at the funeral?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw her come in with something, but I didn't see where she put it. Nope, haven't seen it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't say you bein' there help things much. Gran, don't start nothin'. Who's startin' anything? I'm not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think I shot up the place? It wasn't my fault. They got away though, didn't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, it's alright. I'm too out of it to get into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna clear the air. We're all in this dung heap of a fuckin' shit town together. We're all gonna have a toast. All of us. Fellas, I'm here for one thing. To look through Lily's belongings and get outta here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. And I wanna help you, okay? And I will. But first, indulge me. It'll take two seconds. As a show of good faith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after, we'll all hunt and peck for lily shit or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna get loaded with him. It's just a quick slug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want anything from you, Woody. What is the problem here? What stupid shit will you both not let go of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I forgot. You haven't heard the news. This walkin' lard cake was payin' Holly's sister to let him fuck her behind all of our backs!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Holly had to find out going through all of her sister's shit. What fun that must have been. Trick after trick of this fat ass and li-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but you knew Hollywood flip out, and you knew for a damn good fucking reason!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah, that's it. Now you're teary-eyed. You were always such a lowlife. I don't know why I never realized it till now. What do you think about this fucking loser sheriff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's okay, cause I'll tell you what he thinks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thinks you have to pay chicks to touch your fat hairy ass. That's what he thinks! I think whatever happened was between them. And Lily is dead. So let's put this whole thing to rest, Grey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Check Holly's room, I don't know. But I wouldn't wake her if I were you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sleepwalkers and trolls. I think that's the role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, Bigby, if you'll excuse me, it seems that I'm gonna pass out. What a day. Am I right, Sheriff? What a fucking day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry for what happened. I'll make it up to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He cares about this. About Lily. About Faith. I know he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got it, Snow. Her address was here with Lily's things. It's on, uh, White Plains Avenue, 1284. It's an apartment complex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't there another way? She's a witch. Can't she just work for us? That way she'd be official.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We found the photos of you and Lily. I know, I know, that's, that was, I just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you mean? You don't think he did it at all? If you'd seen the room-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's nobody else that's even remotely- He's the prime suspect. There is nobody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He glamored a prostitute to look like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are extraordinarily lucky Ms. White was here to save your ass. As if it was up to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll get things under control. Woody? I'm not gonna tell you again. Back off, dog. This doesn't concern you. What you wanna talk about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long this time? Thirteen days in isolation. Impressive. Force gives


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, it is as I feared. Why is this happening to me? The accelerated cloning process is still imperfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I meet, and now destroy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Find and kill General Kota. If you refuse, the woman dies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How'd it go? At the motel? Did you find anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanted to, um, about last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had such a good night's sleep tonight, and I still feel like I'm a bit half asleep, half awake, because I'm so relaxed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, I went to bed 4.30 last night because I arrived here pretty late. And when I was laying down, it started to rain. And then it started to thunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is really unusual here in Sweden. It almost never thunders in September.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I had to check on the app if it was really happening and it was thunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was so cozy. It was like I was inside one of these...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, atmosphere sound videos that you can watch on YouTube. You can turn on videos with...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I slept so good that I haven't done in a long time. So for those of you who don't know, I am in our cabin in the mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like three and a half hours from where we live. But I haven't been here in a whole year. Last time I was here was in October. We were supposed to go here in the summer, but Nanook hasn't been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A medication that he's on that really helped a lot. It's called Libreela, I think. It's for arthritis. So he's feeling much better now. So now it would be no problem to bring him here, but in the summer it just felt... It didn't feel right to bring him here when he was so weak, so we decided to not go. So, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm so grateful to be here. I actually go here every autumn to work, uh, and that's actually the number one reason why I'm here now as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My voice. I always go here to take photos of new jewelry designs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I love the environment here and I love to take the photos of the jewelry by the wild rivers. Now when I have started doing that, I just want to continue with that because it's like, yeaah, it feels like it's meant to be that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's also really nice to work by the water. It brings, eh, something extra, I think. So I'm gonna work a lot with that these days. I'm going to take some really nice photos of some new beautiful jewelry designs that we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I really look forward to it. Just spending some time by the rivers and just focusing on the silver and capturing it beautifully. And then I'm just going to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, work on some creative projects. I have a video that I'm going to edit. It's a video about the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How to do the whistling with the hands, you know, that I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that video will already be out by the time you see this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I'm going to edit it here in the evenings when it's dark outside and I can't be out to film or take photos. So that's perfect. I also brought some books that I'm gonna read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of notebooks so I can write. This time when I'm here I have set up a little rule for myself. I have decided to not use my phone and not use my computer unless I'm working. So I'm not gonna


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go scrolling on any social media. I'm not gonna watch any films or series or anything. I'm just gonna cut off the outer world a little bit and there's no better place to do that than here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it already feels very cut off in a way. And the reason for that is because this past month, like the whole September, I've been feeling...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, like stressed or very much in my head. Uh, so I haven't been able to sleep so good. I try all these things, I try meditation before I sleep, I do breath work, I listen to this fall asleep meditations and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no problem to fall asleep, but the problem is that within an hour,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like my brain telling me like, girl, you gotta get up cause you got shit to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's so hard to calm that down because it's like my body believing that I have to think and, uh, yeaah. I try everything to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Calm down again and relax, but I can't and I end up being awake like half the night. And I usually fall asleep again like 6-7 in the morning, just like an hour before I'm gonna get up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, working on the jewellery photos and some films and write a lot and read a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just eh, disconnect a little bit from the outer world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's, uh, it happens so naturally when I come here. Because it feels like it's so quiet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though it's just as quiet in our home, but you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's important to change environments sometimes. To just go somewhere else. Because it's easier. It's like you start from scratch. You start with a new paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming to this river every autumn to do my photography work has more and more become something my soul craves. Spending time by the water makes me feel so good in a way I cannot really explain. Even though it's a lot of work, it feels like a break from everything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Close to this roaring symphony, I feel the very pulse of the earth. And it reminds me of our own journeys in this life, where sometimes we flow freely, and at other times we need to carve our way through life's obstacles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The water doesn't resist the boulders. It finds its way around them, shaping landscapes as it journeys forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find myself humbled and inspired when being close to this relentless force of water, where each ripple tells a story older than any civilization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the constant roaring sound from the river silences the noise of my thoughts, which allows me to reach a state of deep focus where the hour seems to go by so quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next morning I got my stuff ready for a day outside, but not for going to the river and work with the photography. Instead I was going to meet up with a friend that I had never met before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her name is Petra and she also has connections to this beautiful place in the mountains and we've had some contact during the past years. So this day we decided to meet up with our vans and go and explore some beautiful places together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was so nervous at first, but very quickly I felt so comfortable and relaxed in her company. Almost as if we had known each other for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After spending some time by the waterfall, laughing a lot and having some coffee, getting to know each other better, we then continued to another place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She told me about a stream that had a lot of beautiful shiny stones. So we hiked through some wonderful nature landscapes in the afternoon and then spent some time picking stones in the cold stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt so relaxed this day, which is very unusual for me when I meet someone new. I think it's a beautiful sign when you can be with someone without having to necessarily talk all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, this is a little sneak peek on some of the new jewelry designs that we have been working on this year. Some of these pieces will already be up on our webshop now as this video is live, and the rest of them will be released in the beginning of November.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a new day, and I'm very excited for another day by the river.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you look really, really cool. I guess a lot of people are gonna be like, oh, do you have glasses now? Tell us all about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like the smallest problem in the world. It's just that it hurts a lot because, uh, someone is stealing my content on TikTok and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just stole everything and put it up and it got-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now 11 million views and we have tried to report it, like you are, you and us have been working all day, just mailing, reporting. Nobody listens and I just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Oh yeaah, but I'm so grateful you have been helping me so much. And also Adrian, our colleague, he's been working so hard on this too. Yeaah. And I also, just, the past weeks, just been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I think this new time that we're in, things are going very fast and how social media changes and I just feel a bit stressed with it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I just wanted to share, it's nothing serious, you don't need to worry, like, this happens now and then, all the time, for everyone I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tears coming out, they like burn, like it feels so good to cry. I feel like I need to squeeze out some more, but I gotta stop the recording.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you guys are amazing. I have the most beautiful followers in the world and, yeah. Screw all thieves out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you're adorable in this. Every time I watch you I just feel so much love because you're so cute. Yeah, but this was a good cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a really long day fighting copyright infringement and being all stuck in my head with worries and self-doubts, it felt like such a relief to just go out in the most beautiful nature and take some deep breath and get back into my body again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I almost felt like all of this happened so that I would find myself in this exact moment, once again being reminded of what is important and not. And as I was sitting there, some really strong and icy winds came out of nowhere, bringing the first snowflakes of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we are all packed up in the car now because we are actually going to go home again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they decide that they're going to push every boundary they have. Addington at one point says, we're going to push and push and push until some larger force makes us stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a very cautious agency. It's an agency that is fighting with one hand tied behind his back out of a fear of a political backlash by


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What they propose to do is create a whole new surveillance program without warrants, trapping all sorts of information, taking advantage of the fact that modern communication trunk lines tend to come through the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Michael Hayden goes home after briefing the president and the vice president about his ideas for expanding surveillance and takes a walk with his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This order is one of the most closely kept secrets of the Bush-Cheney administration for four years. Uh, it kept so secret that many people involved in national security inside the White House and the government don't know about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goldsmith tells him we're going to, uh, pull back our, uh, endorsement of the legality of this program. And Addington roars at him and says, if you do that, the blood of a hundred thousand people, uh, killed in the next attack will be on your head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They go to the attorney general, John Ashcroft, they say, we don't think this is legal. We think we need to get this changed or we need to stop what's going on because we don't have a solid foundation to go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The example he gives them is a plot in which, uh, Radical is planning to bring down the Brooklyn Bridge, apparently with a device similar to a blowtorch. And it actually kind of makes the Times editors kind of scratch their heads because they think this is kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for once, the president actually decides he's gonna come out and address it directly. He goes on the offensive to try to, uh, uh, push back against critics who said he went too far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's promising to be the most transparent administration history. He believes that there's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a calibrated statement. This is a political statement. This is, in his words, uh, surveillance state run amok.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] President Bush is really a significant reversal. He's decided he needs Congress to back up what he's done. He, in effect, is abandoning his claim that he has the power under Article 2 of the Constitution to do this without Congress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a chance to say, well, that's too far. Let's not, uh, sweep in quite so many people who don't have anything to do with terrorism as part of this broad sweep. And, uh, he chose to keep the programs largely intact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well you did and I know. The cat's out of the bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, can we find the dull pervert or not? No, it can't be fixed. It's missing a piece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems he spoiled your every attempt at locating him. And now it's none of my business?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he has the stones to kill prostitutes like any common sex-frightened serial killer and not face a real challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then, excuse me for having the commonwealth in mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the few shorter hours, the more you babble about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Bigby is free to go there if he likes. But I think the question you should be asking is just what do the two Tweedles know about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I'll pick the blasted lock. I've wasted enough time waiting for the mirror to find him. I won't waste anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've no interest in nicking his drapes, my dear, if that's what concerns you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it's evidence. Before you had no interest, and now it's a crime scene. Bluebeard, you're not going anywhere. Really now? And what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gonna stand here and babysit me? While the rest of your leads evaporate into mist?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, the sniveling weasel chickened out. Never went anywhere. And is upstairs right now in his pitiful penthouse, crafting a fort out of couch cushions. Look, this is how a smart person would do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is how we're going to do it. Wherever you go, I'll go to the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Dribdun. It's like a transformer for the spotlights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a before 9-11, and there was an after 9-11.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After 9-11, the gloves come off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would take me hours to say all of their names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their faces, out of a Dickens novel. Many without shoes and socks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'd been getting ready for Doomsday for years and thought a lot about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then on 9-11, it seemed like it was almost coming true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He felt sort of death was stalking him. He kept a gas mask and a hazmat suit, uhm, in a bag, in the back seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of this mindset of constant fear, they looked at law not as something strengthening them, but as something that was constraining them. And they looked for ways to get out of the constraints of the law. Law became an impediment to get around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Afghan policy was a failure and all the smartest generals and the presidents of both parties, nobody could make this policy succeed. It's a humiliation for the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shocking, unforeseeable, unimaginable is that 20 years later, Guantanamo is still a prison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Equating them with criminals and terrorists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also have to work those sort of the dark side, if you will. We're gonna spend time in the shadows in the intelligence world. A lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly without any discussion using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies if we're gonna be successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guantanamo Bay's climate is different than Afghanistan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read eight headlines that talked about chaos, violence, unrest, and it just was henny penny. The sky is falling. I've never seen anything like it. It's just unbelievable how people can, can take that away from what is happening in that country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To see those images over and over and over again of some boy walking out with a vase and say, oh my goodness, you didn't have a plan. That's nonsense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does A-Rod wear to bed? Uuuh, underwear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys. What's a silly thing that you're afraid of? Rats. Okay, so the only thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this thing I hate the most. They're very intelligent. Did you know that? They're disgusting. Nope. Well, they think you're disgusting. Uhm, uhm, I'm afraid of A-Rod's penis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Saddam Hussein pose a real and grave threat to our security.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that would never be part of something that I believe to be fundamentally wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a heavy heart and undiminished love of my country and my department.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I resign as Deputy Attorney General of the United States, effective immediately. Sincerely yours, James B. Comey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to General Hayden, the vice president's counsel, David Addington, drafted the first authorization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Consequently, the White House counsel, rather than the attorney general, signed the 11 March 2004 authorization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those who were on high before, in particular the bathists,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who use their power to repress the Iraqi people will be removed from office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shortly I will issue an order on measures to extirpate Ba'athist and Ba'athism from Iraq forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was going on at Abu Ghraib came from Guantanamo. Abu Ghraib was a kind of, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to Jonah's office on the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blue. Yes. Dang. Well alright, that's what I put. You put what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were threats coming in all the time. Al-Qaeda getting hold of a nuke or Al-Qaeda gaining an ability to, to produce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chemical weapons, biological weapons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point of the briefing was to provide the president and the new national security team at the White House with an overview of how these programs worked, what the value of the programs was, the legal structures that supported the program, what the authority was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we talked about these programs, the way they were used, in particular the value of the collection of, of content, extraordinarily vital tool, that, uh, that the idea was, alright, this is a really important program, we need to maintain it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the president approached this with the degree of seriousness that you would hope and expect from the president of the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Senior American military officers, diplomats on the ground, who essentially told him, uhm, the Iraqi state is not ready for this. You cannot go to zero. And if, if you go down to zero,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In December of 2011, and within 24 hours of that, Maliki, the Prime Minister, the Shiite Prime Minister, he orders the arrest of his Sunni Vice President.


[User] Please transcribe this text

I just love fucking California cause, you know, being sent to like different states and shit, but of my childhood, I mean, they were like cool to visit, but like I always loved coming back here cause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it would take a while for me to catch on too, like, cause you had to be out in public and be like, I know you from TikTok and I didn't know what TikTok was. So I'm like, what the fuck? And then like, yeah. And like people would just be like, Oh, Oh, like I'd be out in public and it would happen. So like, so like when it's kept on happening and then the labels hit me up, I kind of understood what was fucking going on, but it was just still so surreal and shit. Like, you know, like people, even when people notice me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause yeaah, yeaah, that's why yeaah. Yeaah, a lot of people still, they don't like, exactly know who I am or whatever. They don't know like, who I am as a person, so I mean.

[Assistant] Central Coast Crips and shit. Yeaah, Blueface is cool. But yeaah, I know Crips. I be locked up with Crips and shit. Central Coast Crips and L.A. and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Washington, the Bush administration brushed aside the bad news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] General Jack Keane was acting Army Chief of Staff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking back, Keen says that the war plans drafted by Secretary Rumsfeld and commanding General Tommy Franks did not include adequate plans for securing the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even as tensions were rising, General Franks had a surprise announcement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A division about 30,000 would handle Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The administration's strategy was to pull the troops out of Iraq and hand over responsibility to an American civilian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Washington, Vice President Cheney's office had just the man for the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little known diplomat named L. Paul Bremer III.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Bremer, Cheney had given Secretary Rumsfeld a businessman, a diplomat, managing director of Kissinger and Associates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a two-week crash course on Middle Eastern politics, he arrived in Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To head what was known as the Coalition Provisional Authority, the CPA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The army was gone. As they drove into the city,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Military commanders refuse to go along with Bremer's idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew he would have to deal with Iraq's complicated sectarian politics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saddam Hussein and his Sunni-dominated Ba'ath party had brutally controlled the country's majority Shiites and the Kurds. Now, Bremer was determined to change that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would end Sunni domination of the government and bring in rival ethnic and religious groups, the Kurds and the Shiites.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Retired General Jay Garner was one of the few Americans who knew his way around Iraq. He'd worked there before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ambassador Bremer says he does not recall the conversation with General Garner and the CIA officer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a depathification order, Bremer made a decisive statement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In doing so, he gave the CPA staff, the military, and the Iraqis the first indication of who he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, seven days later, another decisive and controversial announcement. CPA order number two. The decision to dissolve the Iraqi military.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a decision that had been quietly authorized by the civilian leadership at the Pentagon. But just nine days before the war began, the president had agreed to keep the Iraqi army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The U.S. commanders, desperate for boots on the ground, had been counting on a pacified Iraqi army to do the grunt work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for commanding General Tommy Franks, it was just one more reason to retire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, the top military commanders in Iraq all left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any debate about whether there was an insurgency was settled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the experts, it was clear. America was still at war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Secretary of Defense boarded a C-17 Globemaster to go see Iraq for himself. Impatient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rumsfeld spent a couple of days looking around and realized his commanding general, Ricardo Sanchez, didn't know what was happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sanchez needed a place to hold and interrogate the prisoners. There was one not far from Baghdad. Saddam Hussein's most feared prison. Abu Ghraib.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Abu Ghraib became the de facto boot camp for the insurgency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rumsfeld also took a hard look at what Paul Bremmer had been doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told Bremer the Defense Department had decided it wanted Iraq given back to the Iraqis as soon as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had formed a governing council of various Iraqi leaders but had no confidence in them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was given until June 2004 to form a coalition government and wind down the American occupation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But four months later, one incident threatened to undo everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first time, he reached directly into the process and ordered the Marines to retaliate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bremer appealed to the President to stop the Marines. The President pulled back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with a pullback, Bremer's fragile coalition held. And on June 28th, 2004,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He pushed through an interim constitution, formed a new government and handed Iraq back to the Iraqis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 140,000 American troops and a war that really had just begun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The summer of 2004 was the height of the political season. The president was running for re-election. The insurgency was still raging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rumsfeld reached into the Pentagon bureaucracy for a four-star general and found George Casey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To train and shift responsibility to the Iraqi Army, ASAP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The American force would retreat to large bases and only engage the insurgents when absolutely necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had set up his headquarters inside the shrine of Imamali Mosque, daring the Americans to attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Casey spent 1.2 million dollars buying back some weapons and 330 million more in what were called reconstruction funds. They hoped they had bought some peace and quiet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The key insurgent stronghold was familiar territory for the American military. Fallujah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once again, Casey's light footprint was set aside. He drew up plans for a full scale attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Casey's military success may have backfired politically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On election day, Rumsfeld's plan for democracy was about to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the next ten days the Shiites responded. Sunni mosques were attacked. Imams were killed. Their bodies dragged through the streets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr unleashed his Mahdi army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With violence growing, the Bush team began urgently looking for an Iraqi leader to unite the country and stop the fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] American Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad was frustrated with the available candidates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A relatively unknown Shiite member of parliament, Nouri Kumal al Maliki.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Saddam was in power, Maliki lived in exile in Iran and Syria, trying to topple the Iraqi dictator. But he had no real experience in government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Ambassador Khalilzad was desperate. He arranged a face-to-face meeting with Maliki.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nouri al Maliki was elected the new prime minister of Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maliki was so inexperienced, the president himself scheduled frequent video conferences in order to school the new prime minister in the art of politics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That fall President Bush was learning a political lesson of his own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now the president was determined to find a new strategy for Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On January 10th, 2007, Bush announced the surge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In private, with his national security advisor Stephen Hadley, the president revealed just how unsure he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To implement the surge, the president replaced General Casey with an unlikely choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That spring, General Petraeus and almost 30,000 new troops initiated the surge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That meant fierce engagements with Sunni insurgents and with Shiite militants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ambassador Ryan Crocker worked closely with Petraeus during those rough first months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the death toll grew, the political pressure intensified.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the president's men blamed Nouriel Maliki.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The previous fall, Hadley had authored a memo warning that Maliki's government was becoming increasingly sectarian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reports of non-delivery of services to SUNY areas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Removal of Iraq's most effective commanders on a sectarian basis and efforts to ensure Shia majorities in all ministries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All suggest a campaign to consolidate Shia power in Baghdad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now, on a secure video conference, both General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker gave up on the president's man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Bush had taken a liking to Maliki. He insisted he would not turn his back on the prime minister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the news from the battlefield got worse, Atreus upped the ante.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He decided to try to drive a wedge between the foreign Al Qaeda fighters and the Sunni tribes that had been supporting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In one clandestine meeting after another, millions were handed over to former Sunni insurgents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Petraeus called his Sunni paramilitary group the sons of Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In exchange for fighting al-Qaeda, Petraeus also promised the Sunnis a role in the Iraqi government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end, 103,000 Sunnis joined Petraeus' army. They cost $400 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In December of 2008, during the last month of his presidency,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Together, they signed an agreement that would keep American troops in Iraq through at least 2011.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On January 20, 2009, the war in Iraq was now Barack Obama's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Iraq war was nearing its sixth year. The country was weary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the campaign Obama had been warned not to leave Iraq too quickly. General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker were firm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of his first month in office, before thousands of Marines at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, President Obama told Americans what he intended to do about that campaign promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He rejected Petraeus' and Crocker's advice not to publicly announce a timetable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the aftermath, the effects of the announcement were immediate. NSC Director Douglas Olivant saw it firsthand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maliki, who had grown used to frequent conversations with George W. Bush, now rarely spoke to Barack Obama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without regular guidance from the Americans, Maliki was on his own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within months, the old Iraqans were getting word that Maliki was beginning to consolidate power and increasing sectarian tension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Iraqi army trained and equipped by the Americans was one of Maliki's first targets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the Sunni heartland, Betrayus' sons of Iraq were quickly becoming enemies of the state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The American ambassador, James Jeffrey, knew Maliki was a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevertheless, the American government continued to back Maliki.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a series of tough meetings in the Situation Room, the President pushed back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even that small number would require a new agreement with Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over video conference, Obama and Maliki negotiated in earnest for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obama insisted Maliki convince the Iraqi parliament to bestow legal immunity to the American troops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no public criticism of Maliki's sectarian maneuvers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, for better or worse, President Obama, like his predecessor, was entrusting Iraq's future to Nouri al Maliki.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After nearly nine years, over 4,000 Americans killed, more than 30,000 wounded, and an estimated cost of $2 trillion, the last U.S. troops left Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as American troops headed home, the diplomatic effort was also being scaled back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More than 10,000 State Department employees would begin to leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the Americans gone and the attention of the world waning, it did not take long for Maliki to act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An arrest warrant was issued for Maliki's rival, the country's Sunni vice president, Tariq al-Hashemi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They accused him of running death squads and assassinating political enemies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Petraeus could not broker a deal. Vice President Hashemi was sentenced to death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But smuggled to safety in Turkey where he is under police protection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the months that followed, Maliki would go after others. The offices of the Sunni finance minister were raided. Sunni leaders were detained. Mass protests broke out in Sunni provinces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Political protesters in a Sunni town were brutally attacked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the north, a Sunni group, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joined by former Baptists and other Sunni insurgents, stunned Maliki by capturing key cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In short order, ISIS shocked the world by releasing brutal execution videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As ISIS and their Sunni allies marched to the edge of Baghdad, the Iraqi forces led by Maliki's hand-picked generals were no match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this time, Petraeus' Sunni paramilitary, the sons of Iraq, did not fight for Maliki's government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is now President Obama, whose legacy is being threatened by Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dead hear the sacred one sing, and gather about her and their millions, for they seek eternal rest and repose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our minds must be unclouded, our hearts free of regret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said they should make ratting illegal. And I'm like, yeaah. I'm with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bremer hadn't been there very long, literally a day, and these papers were coming out of his briefcase. I was in the office outside of the front office and began reading them and so on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are the basic element of a sentence. So if you want to speak English, you need to know about the different kinds of nouns. And I'm going to try and teach you as well as I can. Let's get started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let's start with concrete nouns. Now in English, concrete nouns are people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can basically use your five senses. Let me give you a few examples. If we talk about people, you could say, a man, or a teacher, or me, Fanny, or Mr. Smith. If we talk about places, you could say, a house, a school. You could name a city like London. Very nice city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or a beach. And if you talk about things, you could say a show. You could say a marker. You could talk about a dog. Or food, like a pizza. These are concrete nouns. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So abstract nouns, unlike concrete nouns, are ideas, concepts, emotions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they are nouns. They are things that exist, but you cannot see them or taste them. You can't use your five senses. To give you a few examples, we could talk about love, or time, or religion, rules. These are all words that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's get into more detail about nouns. Let's now see the difference between


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Common nouns and proper nouns, which are very important in English.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So common nouns and proper nouns refer to people, places, things, ideas. Let's see a few examples. We could talk about people. For example, a woman. That's a common noun. But if we talk about a specific woman, for example, me, Fanny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That becomes a proper noun with a capital F. Because, and you should know this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Proper nouns are always capitalized. You could talk about places. A city. That's a common noun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then you can name a specific city. Let's take a great city, London, of course, with a capital L. Remember, proper nouns, always capitalized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can talk about things. For example, an animal. Let's take a dog. A dog. That's a common noun. But if we take a specific dog, like Snoopy, capital S, that's the proper noun. If we talk about things again, but for example, a car, that's a common noun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if we name the brand, the specific brand of the car like Volvo, that's a proper noun and it takes a capital V. And finally, we can say a team, common noun. But if we name a specific team, for example,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best football team, Manchester United.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then that's a proper noun and it's capitalised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now mind you, team is a special word because it's called a collective noun in English because it refers to a group of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So collective nouns can be used as singular nouns or plural nouns. But we will talk about this again later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now that we know a lot about nouns in English, let's practice finding nouns in a sentence. Okay, first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my class at Oxford University, I have many friends. My best friend is Jen. I have a lot of love for her. Jen has a cute dog. Its name is Juju. What are the nouns in these sentences? If we take the first sentence,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my class at Oxford University, I have many friends. We have class and friends. These are common nouns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also have a proper noun. Oxford University.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second sentence is, My best friend is Jen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now in this sentence, the noun is friend. Common noun. And there's also the word, jan, is also a noun, but a proper noun. As you can see, it's capitalized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, I have a lot of love for her. What noun can you see? Of course, love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember the abstract noun we talked about a few minutes ago. And finally, Jan has a cute dog. Its name is Juju. What nouns can we find?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can see jam again, proper noun. Dog, common noun. But also name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you probably know, I haven't mentioned I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or her, or it. They are also nouns, but they are pronouns. And they're considered a different category in English. We will talk about them in another video. Great job, guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please make sure to watch my next video as I keep on talking about nouns. See you!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh-huh. There's something I have to do. It has to be me, and it has to happen right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our world is being destroyed. There's no place for them to come back to. And there's no way for them to be reborn anymore. So they're caught in the chaos with their pain. They just can't escape it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once upon a time, Noel was one of the leaders. He helped us in the struggle against the chaos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the Order took the reins of power, he went underground, but he didn't disappear. He worked from the shadows to help keep the peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The moment you die, you'll have failed in your mission as savior. And that, in turn, means you could not save Noel's soul. What would happen to him then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were just pictures. There's no way to see into the hearts of the people you saw in them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were all supposed to be in it together, but in the end the entire burden fell on their shoulders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you see, they have to be helped. We don't have any choice. We owe them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened was initially when we arrived here, I mean, we used coalition money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, you know, at some point, you know, that ran down and honestly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a few months, I mean, we were, we were really at a standstill. I couldn't get weapons, I couldn't get uniforms, patrol cars. I have a couple police stations that only have one patrol car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can ask all the contractors in the world to come out and build a sewage line and everything else, but you know what? Someone can come right behind them, throw a couple RPGs at it, and what do you have? We need the security first in order to allow these civilian contractors to get out to do their job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sheikh Gazi is, uh, rumored to be one of the third or fourth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, richest sheiks in Iraq. Uh, he's a man of great political influence. But you were suspicious of Qazi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I would not say, uh, we're suspicious of anyone, Sheikh, uh, in particular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well we've had a few threats from different people. I don't think that, uh, you know, Sheikh Ghazi is in a position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he can be a future leader of this city in Iraq. It should not only be the coalition and CPA providing resources, uh, to Fallujah. There are Iraqis with money that can do great good for this city. But he wants the U.S. coalition forces out. You know, some sheiks will say that, but to a man, they will tell you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we did leave and pick up and stack arms and go tomorrow, there will be a tribal war with more bloodshed than this place has ever seen. You have to develop a representative government that can stand on its own. How long is it gonna take?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to put a timetable to it. I think it's the conditions that you look for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let me, uh, let me stop for a minute. It's an incident with another unit in our zone. So if you give me a minute, we can stop rolling, I'll be right back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And our thanks, uh, to the kids. To the kids. They really, uh, they were very sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't want to recognize him. No. They dislike him. He's challenging the established authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Corporations saved billions in taxes, and the rest of us are picking up the tab for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Played yesterday in a small Pro-Am on the south course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, couldn't believe the condition the golf course was in. It's absolutely perfect. Uhm, and this is a, this is our biggest tournament, you know, besides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, for us, the PGA Tour, the Senior Players Championship is our biggest event. So, to play it here on an iconic course like, in a hard course like Firestone is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To have Kuhlig as our new sponsor here is tremendous. They've done such a great job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, you know, it's going to be a great partnership with them. So uhm, we're all excited. This is our.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, it's a beast. I think it's the hardest golf course in the United States. You have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drive it straight, you can even hit it in the fairway and have a problem with trees that are overhanging some of the greens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 18 is a perfect example, you know, pins back left, you can hit it in the fairway on the left, down the left side and have really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to have to hook it around the tree to get it onto the screen with a, you know, eight, nine iron, whatever the club is. So it's a, um, it's a very, very, very, very.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Difficult golf course, the rough, you know, I, I've seen it higher here. It's not as high, but that still doesn't matter. You still have to control your ball. And, uh, and then once you get on the greens, you know, then it's a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a whole nother deal in trying to figure out which way these balls break and try to make some butts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my favorite hole. Uhm, let's see. There's a lot of good ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it just, it just isn't the same where, you know, when the player has a chance to win and you're on that 18th tee and you have to pipe one, uhm, it brings, it brings out,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best in you, you have to do it. So I would say 18 is the hardest, but also the, is the hole that I think, uhm, that I like the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'll tell you, I haven't had a whole lot of success here. Uhm, I played a little better, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, on the weekend and on Sunday last year, but uhm, it should. I mean, I don't, I'm, I'm, I'm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fairly straight off the tee, uhm, you know, uhm, I can get it up and down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, you know, so far it hasn't worked out. This'll be the year then. Well, I'm on this show first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then now being on the show, now I'm, I'm, I'm going to have the luck of the Ohioans. Yes, absolutely. And maybe this will, uh, propel me to greatness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then work backwards from there and then work on your long game and try to hit, be able to hit drives. But if you're just starting the game out, um, if you can just, uh, spend a lot of time with your short game, you're going to do just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just keep doing that, kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then when you go to shoot a TV show or a movie or something like that, do you have to kind of shift, make a change because you're performing in front of a group of people and then instead you're performing in front of no one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm curious about this and I've asked a couple of people and I want to see what your answer to this is. When you are in a serious relationship with someone and you're doing a play for that long period of time, how many times are they expected to come to see you at the play?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's very- and then when famous people come to the show, do you feel compelled to greet them after the play?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Jimmy Kimmel. Click below to subscribe to our YouTube channel or if you want to be that way about it, don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are committees set up to consider each aspect of the future life of Iraq and how you could deal with it in the immediate days thereafter. It involved an awful lot of very bright people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That got shut down largely because I think people were afraid it would be a one-way street for military intervention, our military intervention, and the military, our military wasn't prepared for that at that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's his label, Cactus Jack, not Cactus Gang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By 40? Yea. I mean, your kid's gonna be 10 and you're gonna be fuckin' 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, you know, my- my- the only reason I know about fucking Zelda is cause my cousin, she's into that shit. She's what you call a gamer girl. She has like a fucking tattoo of like the Triforce, that's what it's called. Love Link.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? No, it's not the same as in the city when you get it off the truck though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as where I- my living situation, yea, but I'd still be out and about, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's ridiculous where you'll catch me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just not stupid to go ahead and try to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I don't really run into any type of problems outside, so that's why I don't feel the need to like, be in hiding. What the fuck? My life goes on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next person eats doesn't make me shit, so I don't give a fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was going to say, it feels way different now. Time flies. It does, and I feel like I'm in such a fucking different space now that I would be stupid to live the way people think I should be moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm out here working with, uhm, different people because I want to put out skin care and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My skin care, alright, obviously. Yeah, like, I'm doing a lot of things, cactus and pews, it's good, like aloe and fucking rose water, I'm doing a lot of it with cactus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until you say, hey, you nonchalantly throw it out in there too, right? Like, hey, I hear you got a lot of beef going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can respect, I said this before, I can respect anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find her very annoying. She is, she is hella annoying. She knows it too. And she can probably say, oh, fuck you, Sarah. Like you did, she's very flip floppy. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, she's uh, yeaah, she's... She's messy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Threaten them, I guess, like, that's what it is, the hush money, but not that she's fucking with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For that, she'll fuck with him just to fuck with him and then say, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had a fucking cat scratch me one time, traumatize me for life. I was like, dogs don't do this shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fuck with it though. I fuck with it. I see it, but I'm very-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You forgot where I'm from, from New York. You can't finesse me into thinking that's something I should be doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are the strip clubs good out there? The strip clubs is popping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has so much respect for it. The what? The bitches in the strip clubs really ain't shit. They look nice though. They're poppin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so it's just like, Selena's a clout chaser, we all know that, but it's just like, it shouldn't be so hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fucked you but I don't give a fuck if you know I'm fucking your friend and you're gonna sit here and eat it and then I'ma leave with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would, I would hope so. I would love to watch Selena on fucking TV. Just fuck somebody's home up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's crazy cause she still holds a lot of loyalty to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'll, she'll ride that, that her fucking wheels fall off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pulling out pistols. Selena, she's just out here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but Kastak does all that and more, and she's really about it, so I respect Kastak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see when she did the 10 year challenge and it was, I think, R.I.P.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, she try to do it like in a funny way. I don't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was a picture of 10 years ago. It was like the 10 year challenge, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she had, threw up a picture of her and Q, like walking together, and then-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, present day, she threw up like something about him being dead. But she tried to do it in a funny way. I was like, ooh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Off limits. I don't- I personally don't fuck with that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what happened with the whole Trippie Redd thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, no, but I understood, he was just retaliating for someone talking about his dead brother. That's why when I had a conversation, finally did, he did apologize to me about it. He was like, you know, I'm sorry, but he spoke on somebody that I cared about, put me on, that's my brother, that's my brother. I was like, I understand, but me as a mother, I can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like, feel comfortable with you even saying that type of shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You felt like the fucking line was crossed, so I understand your initial reaction, but he has a brother. You coulda said fuck his mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's how many years has it been since you guys even worked together? Like years, right? We worked together seven years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you only knew the type of problems that were going on in that house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, at some point it was just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I would have a problem, so. No, you wouldn't understand. He would like, oh hey, I'm going to the strip club, they're giving me a quick bag to just show up, and then the next morning he's on a flight with a bartender, literally a few hours, and he doesn't come home for like two weeks. That's the type of shit, and I'm seeing him, and I'm seeing the little bitch, that's what I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was til that situation happened that he got robbed that that's when it became necessary. Cause that was something that was real, it happened, and they came to our home with that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, that was my story to tell and it was already, you know, it's crazy about that. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My management now was his booking management, right? His booking agency or whatever. They were doing all his bookings and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I became close to her through them working and everything and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She basically knew a lot of things that were going on. I would confide in her. I would tell her. She would give me a lot of advice. You know, feel bad for me as a woman and would want to help me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was, he, at a point, he made me stop talking to her because she was helping me better myself in ways that he wouldn't want me to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, so he made me completely cut her off. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once I stopped dealing with him and then he went and just started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lying about everything like, oh, they stole money from me, this and that, and he was like trying to tarnish her company name. You know, at that point, she went out and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I put out the story, I didn't even bring my story out, this was like in November, before he got locked up in October, uhm, about what he had done to me that I told her in confidence and stuff that she already knew and she had pictures, you know, of me like in the hospital and stuff like that. And she put that all out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for a long time after that, I didn't start talking to her until like January, February, and that was put out in November.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yea, no, cause she shared it with multiple blogs, it was on media, take out and everything. You don't understand, I was emailing these people, writing these people, please don't put this out. Cause, I wasn't ready to accept that, that was my truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or that was something that I was going through. Cause for a long time I always tried to protect him and his image cause I cared about him. I loved him. We had a kid. We were a family. That's how I thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm writing to all these people, please take this down, blah, blah, blah. I begged Dom is live. I told everybody this can't be out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially with all that he had going on, this was I think before he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was going to trial or whatever for the allegations that he had in 2015. I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't, it was too much for me to deal with and I wasn't ready to deal with it. So, I mean, it took me some time, but I got over it and I eventually forgave her because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she didn't put that out, I don't think I would have ever put that out and I would have never got the response I got from it. I wouldn't been able to move on and have so many people reach out to me and tell me like how brave they thought I was, even though I wasn't at first that I needed that push. So I don't regret anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at some point, I'm just like, and then that's when he started doing all the bullshit that he was doing with the unnamed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's just like, I fuck you, like this is, you have the nerve and I've been out here trying to protect you for so long and put this image out on of you to make you look better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Far from what you actually are, and you're gonna, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep on trying to bring me down? Fuck you know, this is what I went through. And that's when I started speaking the fuck up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you say you thought it was out of affection?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I can speak on, I'll speak, this is my thoughts, it's not bashing her or anything, whatever. If she wants to take it there, she can, but it'll be obviously for clout or whatever, cause I'm only speaking what anybody else would fucking think or say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was with him for seven years, so I- I'm like, yo, he told her to write that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told her to post that up, like, this is crazy. The way I feel, this is my opinion and many people will agree with me and many people won't, but fuck yeaah. I feel like in a way he's using her as a puppet to keep his name still going if she can do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I see it happening now. I've seen fucking people he's done songs with be like, oh, my brother, blah blah blah, even after whatever it is that he's doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And being in my DM talking wild shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the craziest shit. I'm like, yo, y'all some triflin' ass niggas. Like, y'all triflin'. You will be calling him your brother and then, fuck you. Yeah. I'm just like, ugh, just stay away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew it wasn't intentional the moment I hung up in his face. He was like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At some point I was having fun with it though. I was picking up the FaceTime calls and I'm like, stop fucking calling me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had to get done. It had to get done. If you only imagine, my phone was non-stop ringing different numbers. It was like, Adam leaked your number on the live stream. I'm like, what the fuck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and one of those numbers was like, official, so I was like, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, what do you think about Youngboy's music? I don't, I think he's disrespectful. I just think he's an angry little boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was in my DM and I was like, why are you so angry? Like he was talking to me very aggressively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm like, you're an angry little boy. So I just like, that was something that was already mentioned before I mentioned it on the livestream, and he didn't take it too personal until I said it on the live. So I'm like, oh fuck you, I been told you, you was angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I'm not understanding how that was a valid point to curse my ass out, but aren't rappers supposed to be angry? Is it like a bad thing to say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's- that's- I won't convince her cause it- I mean- It's amazing, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sneaky, like she gets away with shit and it's just like, I see you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing, oh, she's the ultimate finesse. Like, she thinks she's smart, like, on a level where, alright, you not gonna catch me, bitch, I'ma go to grandpa, I'ma, he gon', he gon' make sure I get what I want, type shit. I'm like, yo, I see you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not on first control. Oh, you showing blanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Like, I can't really say yes or no, but for me it's like, uh, right now, a definitive no. Like, I have to be like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like with me, sex is more personable, so, like, personal. So it's just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I don't- I'm just not out here fucking, so- Yeah. I can't- I have to have some type of like relationship with you to even- or-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Build with you in that way. We have to be fucking with each other already. I'm not just gonna be off rep. Hey, I'mma fuck you, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm very like, I don't, the thing with me, I'm very competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to still hold with some type of respect and I feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though it's not, you wouldn't really, like, consider it a respect thing, it's just like, once you open that door, it's kinda hard to close it. I know, I can't cut him off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like the most craziest, craziest thing I've ever seen, like, as far as, like, any of your podcasts was the, uhm, when this guy fucking passed out. Yeah.
