Transcript Partial transcript

Machine transcription of this recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard. It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome. A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube; on this page it moves the player above the transcript.

How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 1 voices separated from the audio. 1 short machine repair(s) (1 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one. Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings. A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 92.5% of 402 content words. Dotted words (20 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading. 6 passages (13% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there. Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.

Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

I never thought I was going to be that far. This is the place that they gave me the opportunity. And people helped me. And this is where I grew up. I had questions because I never knew, you know, I worked in construction before, but I never knew how we get water, how customers get water. And then Brandon Cox, you know, took his time explaining ‸ me and gave me the chance to prove, you know, that I could do all these things. And thanks to them and all the help of everybody here. So I was able to succeed. When you work in your way,

During the hurricane, and we went out to fix a couple things, shut up the water, you know, that.

wind or that. But I said, it's a job we got to do. You know, sometimes you got to risk it. If you want a place to retire, this is the correct place to be. You got a lot of benefit, opportunity, and you could grow up from here.
