Glenn Beck’s new Web TV venture, GBTV, put up preview videos late Wednesday that tease the Sept. 12 launch of his paid Internet show. Most of the footage deals with the notion of his venture being “five years ahead” of its time, the work being put in by GBTV’s creators and the risk he is taking by leaving Fox News.



But Beck also gives a 10-minute interview with Raj Nair, GBTV’s head correspondent, during which both speak about misconceptions surrounding Beck. At one point, Beck asks himself and Nair about what the average person thinks of his political leanings, and Nair agrees the perception is that he is a Republican.



Not so, says Beck.



“I hate them. I think they are as much of a problem as the other side,” Beck says, walking alongside Nair on the streets of New York. He then invokes George Washington, saying Washington warned of the danger in political parties.



“If you speak out in today’s world, you’re either a Republican or Democrat. How about just being real?” he later says.
