What’s said in this shiur

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

um and there's a question why does Alaska have so many mosquitoes well firstly it has mild temperatures a lot of precipitation Marshland lakes and here's the real reason because of the permafrost the water can never drain so everything is basically Marsh so in light of being in the land of the mosquito let's talk about a very interesting halacha are you allowed to kill mosquitoes and there's a mosquito nasty mosquito he wants your blood he's going for the jugular I had to kill a mosquito on now on Shabbos obviously you can't kill the mosquito what Malacca is it the tilas in the shama is but what about on YouTube should we say Mr Brewery that the same way we say in Italian supplies to cooking to baking as well so it's wanna let it kill a mosquito and yamta says revruderman it is permitted to kill a mosquito on YouTube and that is how with small kamonesky pascans that it is permitted to kill a mosquito on YouTube but what's interesting is rebiakov kamonesky said not so fast but vyakov writes is printed in the emission even though there's a sword to say
