Trouble extracting Richard Stallman video from YouTude

I really like this concise 3 minute video of Richard Stallman explaining the logic of the Four Freedoms. But the only place I've been able to find a copy is on YouTude:

I've been trying to download a copy so I can republish it on PeerTube.nz. Both because it's a brilliant quick explainer of software freedom by the founder of the movement, and more subtly, as a middle finger to the Safer Spaces Police who demand we push Dr Stallman down the memory hole.
But so far I've been unable to download it. I've tried youtube-dl, yt-dpl, and piped.video, but none of them are currently working for me. Any suggestions for where else I can find a copy of this video, or how I might be able to extract a copy from YouTude?
Play, pause, right-click on the video and select "Save Video As..."
That worked for me.
yt-dlp worked for me just now, you're either using an older version of yt-dlp (the one included in distribution repositories is usually out of date and therefore never works as intended with YouTube in particular), try getting the binary directly from the project repository, or compile it, then upgrade it running "yt-dlp -U" instead of using the distro repositories.
Prospero was right. Play, pause, right-click, save video as, ok, downloaded the video. I did it. Lastly, thank you Dr. Richard Stallman for the great explanation.
Sincerely yours,
Malsasa
