See?  Instead of *studying*, instead of *reading* and *learning*, you are 
only *guessing* from *ignorance*.  That approach is hopeless.

I have already told you that Lorentz himself said that he abandoned his 
theory before 1914 at the latest, in favor of (Einstein’s) special 
relativity (SR).

    Only Poincaré insisted to his own death (in 1912) that his modified 
    version of Lorentz’ ether theory (1905) had more merit than SR, without
    a shred of evidence to back that up (the ether is by his own theory
    undetectable).  Contrary to Lorentz, he would not even acknowledge
    Einstein’s contribution.  So ISTM that, unfortunately, at an old age
    the once reknowned scientist became somewhat of a crackpot who likes to
    believe their own fantasies (here: the ether as a preferred reference
    frame) rather than observed reality (all reference frames have equal
    standing).  Similar to you.

Although *you* carry the burden of proof for your claims, _not_ I, (Paul 
and) I *have* proven you wrong on *all* accounts now, *including* the CMB 
(the temperature/observed photon frequency of the radiation it is actually 
_not_ isotropic – detected by RELIKT-1, COBE, WMAP, and “Planck”).

(You meant to say “_But how do I get it?_”)

The YouTube UI is unintuitive, maybe even buggy, in that regard.  Select 
“Settings” (cogwheel icon) → Subtitles/CC → “English (auto-generated)”.  
[“Auto-translate” below that is displayed, but somehow disabled.]  Then 
select Subtitles/CC → “Auto-Translate” (enabled now) → Italian.  It takes a 
few seconds before the UI responds again.

Yes.
