Here's your link: https://www.transfernow.net/dl/20240225UqPsku7V

How to download: USA proxy > use stream detector > grab master.m3u8 > download local > use N_m3u8 on it
The video has closed captions included in it. Can be extracted with ffmpeg I think if you want srt.

Edit: Apparently there's a hidden 720p version of that video. @Stabbedbybrick's answer is the proper solution.

Just use yt-dlp. It extracts the 720p as an added bonus:

❯ yt-dlp -F "https://play.mylifetime.com/shows/where-is-wendy-williams/season-1/episode-1"
