It’s on CSPAN3 and the only place I can’t watch it on TV. Saving it there is a snap, but I haven’t a clue as to how to do it on my laptop or desktop.

Any suggestions, please?

And if you can, please enunciate exaggeratedly, gesticulate wildly and shout - you know, like an American in Paris. 😃

By now it is probably too late, but…

Please rephrase this. I have no idea what you mean. If it is on TV, turn on your VCR. If it is a streamed webcast, I don’t know how to do it.

I guess it doesn’t matter if I can save it or not. I’m watching it live and that should be enough.

There is software out there that will capture streaming video so that you can save it to your computer.

Or, you can watch it live as you already stated.

Or, you can wait until someone else captures the stream and posts to youtube or similar web sites. Due to the nature of the content, it will probably show up on [Crooks and Liars](http://www.crooksandliars.com/) in no time.

Yup. Selected prime cuts already there for your dining and viewing pleasure.
