Glen Beck is the latest conservative political pundit to appear on Fox News. The Glen Beck Program appeared on Fox News in January 2009, a day in fact before Barack Obama was inagurated. Beck has previously had other talk shows and also hosts his own radio program. He also is an author of numerous political books, all which have become best-sellers. Beck, like other Fox News anchors, has plenty of controversy. A Libertarian, Beck has been harshly critical of the Obama administration and often talks about the threat liberals and progressives posse to America. He often goes on long rants against liberal officials, and may have influenced the outing of White House Environment czar Van Jones. His unique style of anchoring, as shown in the video, has garnered a huge fame base of conservative Americans. His influence in conservative politics is so great that he recently organized a rally in Washington DC titled "Restoring Honor" which he called Americans to once more embrace traditional values.
In this clip, Beck imploys a common practice on his program, looking back at American history and relating it to the present day. Beck here is talking about the 1946 mid-term elections, which saw a Republican sweep in Congress during the Truman Administration. Beck explains the similarities between this election and the current mid-term elections which may witness a Republican takeover of Congress.
