The following is a sample of the transcript:

And there's definitely quite a few big ones per se. And the first one we have to mention is the death of Osama bin Laden. And it's almost insurmountable of how big this death was. And you could arguably say this was the biggest news of the death since potentially Adolf Hitler in with Osama bin Laden's death, this would also begin. And I think this is also beginning in the revitalization of the Islamic radical movement. And you could see this with ISIS Boko Haram. And I'm not saying that it's attributed to the fact that Osama was killed, but I'm just saying that after his death, it was such a huge thing that occurred that it just cannot be failed to mention. And overall, I think that's what the death of Osama bin Laden. This gave a huge bonus to Obama in terms of foreign policy. What would you say about Rohan? How do you think that the death of Osama bin Laden, lauded by Navy Seal Team Six, would be viewed by historians in the future? Historians are definitely going to look at with somewhat of a good length because the United States finally was able to take out the mastermind behind the 911 attacks. And it's something that's really hurt the US, because that's really the first time the continental US has been attacked by foreign power since really 1812. In the War of 1812, I know the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, but Hawaii is technically not part of the continental US. And 911, it really struck deep into the American heart because this is the first time, again, as I mentioned, in the continental United States since the War of 1812. So with the killing of Osama bin Laden, historians are definitely going to look this at a time of joy and pride for the American spirit and American patriotism as they finally got the guy cause this terrible, terrible attack. 911.
