Yes, you can download the transcript when you sign in. Barring that I can post it right here:
Thanks for your help! Chuck
1 0:0:3,100 --> 0:0:6,000 Oh, is it an authoritative source?
2 0:0:6,100 --> 0:0:9,000 A librarian would say it's not an authoritative source, because it's on the web.
3 0:0:9,100 --> 0:0:12,000 They say: Oh no, we didn't mean that, there is stuff on the web that's authoritative...
4 0:0:12,100 --> 0:0:15,000 It's not an authoritative source, because it's not peer-reviewed.
5 0:0:15,100 --> 0:0:17,000 Oh wait, we didn't mean that, it's obviously peer-reviewed.
6 0:0:17,100 --> 0:0:19,000 But, they're not peers we like.
7 0:0:21,100 --> 0:0:25,000 We built the 17th most popular website on the Internet.
8 0:0:25,100 --> 0:0:27,000 How have we done this? You've done it.
9 0:0:27,100 --> 0:0:30,000 I've done it. We've all done it as volunteers.
10 0:0:30,100 --> 0:0:33,000 Updated, in real time, by all of its readers.
11 0:0:33,100 --> 0:0:39,000 The problem, of course, with Wikipedia, is that anyone can put their two cents in, and they do.
12 0:0:39,100 --> 0:0:43,000 Wikipedia empowers people, they become authors of their content.
13 0:0:43,100 --> 0:0:45,000 This is the Colbert Report!
14 0:0:45,100 --> 0:0:48,000 You see, any user can change any entry,
15 0:0:48,100 --> 0:0:52,000 and if enough users agree with them, it becomes true.
16 0:0:54,100 --> 0:0:57,000 ... compared an article from Wikipedia with Britannica,
17 0:0:57,100 --> 0:1:1,000 4 errors in Wikipedia and 3 in Britannica.
18 0:1:1,100 --> 0:1:5,000 The more eyeballs, the more people are able to fix things more quickly.
19 0:1:5,100 --> 0:1:10,000 One moron and two CIA bureaucrats destroyed everything I had created.
20 0:1:10,100 --> 0:1:15,000 The vandals, the trolls, the people who put in purposely misleading content.
21 0:1:15,100 --> 0:1:20,000 They degrade Wikipedia's quality and its credibility, and we try to put a stop to it.
22 0:1:23,100 --> 0:1:28,000 It has a huge community element like you're part of a very big family.
23 0:1:28,100 --> 0:1:32,000 There's also a group of people who have an elitist edge to them.
24 0:1:32,100 --> 0:1:37,000 They like the difficulty of the technology, because it keeps people out.
25 0:1:37,100 --> 0:1:38,000 We are all working together for this.
26 0:1:38,100 --> 0:1:42,000 We are all working together to create a better encyclopedia.
27 0:1:43,100 --> 0:1:47,000 Internet Censorship
28 0:1:49,100 --> 0:1:55,000 They fear knowledge which has the potential to lead to something.
29 0:1:56,100 --> 0:2:0,000 It isn't about information getting into China
30 0:2:0,100 --> 0:2:3,000 It's about information from Chinese people,
31 0:2:3,100 --> 0:2:7,000 the Chinese point of view, being expressed to the entire world.
32 0:2:8,100 --> 0:2:13,000 It's the idea that all these things I've read,
33 0:2:13,100 --> 0:2:18,000 and I contribute will be free forever.
34 0:2:18,100 --> 0:2:22,000 Newspaper's top-down, radio's top-down, television's top-down.
35 0:2:22,100 --> 0:2:25,000 We don't have a say. Now, through Wikipedia collectively,
36 0:2:25,100 --> 0:2:28,000 we write the history. This is totally revolutionary.
37 0:2:28,100 --> 0:2:30,000 Democracy, freedom, justice, equality,
38 0:2:30,100 --> 0:2:33,000 and all that stuff that they teach us in school.
39 0:2:35,100 --> 0:2:38,000 Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet
40 0:2:38,100 --> 0:2:42,000 is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.
41 0:2:42,100 --> 0:2:45,000 I don't think the work is ever done as long as the universe exists,
42 0:2:45,100 --> 0:2:50,000 and that's gonna be around for at least ... well, depends.

Anyway, transcription will help some translaters.
Sorry, I eventually found the transcription download form at the right bottom. My desktop was little bit smaller to find it out :p
Most of EtoJ translations is done, however, still needs proofreding and correction.

When you have an account on dotsub, you can translate the text directly in your web browser, just like you translate text on Wikipedia.
