The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yechezkel Hartman’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Today they would do parah adumah, and the person will not be tahor from tumas meis. Is it kidai to go to the mikvah when a person goes to the biskurs before or after? So the Ben Ish Chai says it depends on how we learn our gemara over here in the Kuzari and the Rambam on the bottom. Cuz the gemara before said that a tamei meis can touch a trumas chutz la'aretz. And only when tumah yotzei migufoy, he cannot touch trumas chutz la'aretz. Then the gemara brings a story. The story is that Rav Nachman, Rav Avraham, Rav Avraham Avinu, they were in a in a ship, and then came this woman and asked him if a tamei meis should he have should can can he go to the mikvah and eat trumah without ha'arev shemesh, without waiting for the evening? So the gemara says in the beginning of the base of Avraham Avinu came back, he said, you can be tovel trumas chutz la'aretz, and he does not have to wait for ha'arev shemesh. What is the reason? Is the gemara says before, Rav Nachman said a svara over here, yesh lanu, we don't have a zar. We don't have we do not have the idea of full taharah of a meis. There's no point to wait for
