youtube-dl "wsj:980E2187-401D-48A1-B82B-1486CEE06CB9" works on Python 2.7.9+. wsj.com uses SNI, so you can't use it with old Python.

Well, there are too many reasons for CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED. My first guess is https://bugs.python.org/issue20916 - you need to visit a website (wsj.com) first before Python can correctly connect to it. Other reasons/fixes can be found in #7309.

BTW, Python 3.7a1 gives more info about CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED - worth a try.
