Resources – where to find Beck
General Comment – Grab and download video!
As Glenn Beck recently said of the White House, “They’re trying to scrub the internet of things that might be used against them. Download everything you can”. In this context, he was referring to video that might reveal Communist or Socialist leanings from White House Czars. But it’s a a good general statement – download the clips – don’t rely on Youtube to be your friend and your resource several years into the future.

Beck transcripts at LiveDash.com –
Livedash.com has auto generated, high quality transcripts of the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News. This generates keywords so it has implicit search capability in the transcripts. It would appear possible to search for “When Glenn said xyz” using this service, with some limitations. For example, the automatic speech to text used generates a few errors. But it is much better than the “rush transcript service” which Fox News does to do a similar thing.

Spendulus recommends – Clicker.com
Clicker is a new service that claims to be capable of replacing cable or satellite TV with the same shows, via the Internet. It is apparently a serious and well funded attempt to do this.
The Glenn Beck shows are here, in a different format than on the Fox News Site. There is a history going back several months of the shows, like TIVO.
The main page of Clicker seems capable of being operated with a TV remote.
