Irving speaking at a lectern in Milton, Ontario, 1991, with burned captions across the frame.
Milton, Ontario, October 5, 1991. The court heard this recording from trial bundle K3, tab 10. All four clips have burned-in captions; each one links to its caption text and exhibit entry.

Recording 1 of 3

Toronto speaking programme, August 1988

1 excerpt  ·  2:20  ·  Exhibit DOC-08-1

The excerpt names the 1988 Toronto programme and contains Irving’s account of encountering the Biddle notes. It is related primary audiovisual material, not a facsimile of the paper transcript at trial bundle K3, tab 2, quoted in court; the wording does not match word for word.

Sequence played and quoted in court

The audiovisual recording for the sequence filed at bundle K3, tab 10, rather than a reconstruction from its paper transcript.

Recording 3 of 3

National Alliance speech, Tampa, October 6, 1995

2 excerpts  ·  1:55 total  ·  Exhibits DOC-32-13 and DOC-14-5

Both excerpts come from the same 58:47 original recording and appear below in recording order. The second begins at 52:10.5 and overlaps the first by about 22 seconds, so that the Day 14 “necessary” wording keeps its question-and-answer lead-in.
