I will do my best to detail at least some of the key information that he covers, even if its not on "time" and place the youtube clips below for more detailed information.
Beck does an amazing job of putting a million details into a 1 hour programs and it is sometimes impossible to get everything! So don't forget to tune in all this week at 5 pm on Fox to watch The Glenn Beck program.

Topic: Economy, Things that don't make sense. Until they start making sense you should not allow them to pass any other bill.
Why is no one else asking these questions?
1. Can we survive this debt?
a. If yes, how?
2. What is the rush on Health Care? Cap and Trade?
3. Who is writing these bills?
4. Will Washington read and understand these bills?
5. Why is it grassroots if it is for and astroturf if it is against?
According to USDebtClock.org

Part 2
- Cloward- Piven Strategy in a Nutshell, 1966 Nation's Article
- Basic Idea: Everyone on welfare will wipe out poverty. Accomplish that through community organization overwhelming system that would lead to a new system.
- Liberal Democrate, Pat Caddell, Former Democratic Pollster: guest
- Doesn't believe that the Cloward-Piven Strategy is what's going on even though he thinks we might eventually get there.
- He wants to know where you get these bills 6 months into the administration when previous administrations were still "finding the bathroom"
- With the issue of Holder and the CIA, Caddell was asking himself, The country said move on? The President say move on? But extremely liberal organization are pushing this. So I had to ask myself, is Barack Obama really in control? Whose really in control here?
- over 3 dozen Czars, special advisers to President
- Van Jones, Green Job's Czar: Board member for APOLLO alliance, the group that wrote the stimulus bill
- "I'm basically a community organizer withing White House"-Van Jones
- Bio on Van Jones
Arrested during the Rodney King Riots
"I met all these young radical people of color, I mean really radical, Communists and Anarchist, and it was like 'this is what I need to be a part of'"..."by August I was a communist"- Van Jones
Member of STORM- Radical Revolutionary
Van Jones work included "mobilzing young people of Color into Militant Direct Action and combin it with more deeply-rooted organizing in our communities."
"He considers himself a revolutionary just a more effective one"-Van Jones
Was the White House aware of Van Jones' background in radical politics? If so, did this give the White House any pause?
Response from the White House
Mr. Jones is entirely focus on one policy goal: building clean energy incentives which create 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources (Statement WH Council on Environmental Quality)
- The role that the APOLLO alliance and Van Jones have in the actual stimulus bill.
- Stimulus includes more than 110 billion for Green initiatives.
- APOLLO Alliance, Van Jones put this organization together to promote Environmental blah blah
- Apollo aligns big labor social justice groups and the green movement.
- Apollo aligns interest of many deep pocketed left activist groups
- Apollo backers include SEIU ACORN, AFL-CIO, UNION STEELWORKERS + more
- Labor was guaranteed its piece of the pie in stimulus with Davis-Bacon
- Davis Bacon act mandates prevalent wage on Govt-Assisted Fed projects
- ACORN eligible to receive 4.1 billion in stimulus funding
- Pat Caddell: They are looting--It's all about the money
- APOLLO Alliance asked for 11 billion for Smart Grid and received 10.9 million. APOLLO Alliance wanted 100 million for job training for Smart Grid. They got more than they asked for in many areas.
- "Hooptee for Hybrids" found in Van Jones' book from a few years ago --the foundation for the Cash for Clunkers.
- How did these Czar get vetted? The White House is doing it, supposedly.
Day 1
Can we survive this debt? If yes, how?
Why the rush on health care reform, cap-and-trade?• Who is writing these bills?
Will Washington read and understand the bills?
Why are you called "grassroots" if you are for, but "Astroturf" if you are against?
Our unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?
We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and health care programs before we stop the flow of red ink?
The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN: How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?
If it was so important for Congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it, why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent six months later?
Former President Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them; how exactly does that work?
Why won’t member of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?
Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?
Was the "cash for clunkers" program meant to save the Earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?
How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist, become a special adviser to the president?
Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special adviser?
The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill; why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?
If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1,000-page plus bills actually impose on the American people?
If the "public option" health care plan is so good, why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?
If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind, why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?
Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?
Why would you want to overwhelm the system?
Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through Congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about not letting a crisis go to waste?
What are the president's "czars" paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?
