What’s said in this shiur

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

Every breath in that room feels like eternity. They're watching, waiting. The Navy Seals have just entered the compound. No one speaks. Eyes locked on the feet, hearts racing.
