It looks like JMeter cannot access the Internet, most probably you're behind a corporate proxy server

If you want to record website(s) (or other resources) which are in the Internet - you need to make JMeter aware of the upstream proxy.

Normally your Internet connection looks like:

browser -> corporate proxy -> Internet

when you're recording with JMeter you substitute your corporate proxy with JMeter hence Internet access won't be available anymore:

browser -> JMeter proxy -> you can only access local resources

so you need to make it like:

browser -> JMeter proxy -> corporate proxy -> Internet

See Using JMeter behind a proxy user manual chapter for more information.

Additionally I don't think you should be recording requests to www.gstatic.com as it's Google's CDN so I believe you neither should record the calls to that site nor replay them as this is something absolutely beyond your control, moreover your IP address can get banned (unless you're a Google employee who has the task to load test the CDN). See Web Testing with JMeter: How To Properly Handle Embedded Resources in HTML Responses article for more information if needed.
