'This Is the MOST Important News Story You Can Understand Today': Glenn Beck [WATCH]

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck said the world is already locked in a Cold War–style confrontation involving China, Russia, and Iran, arguing that President Donald Trump is pursuing an aggressive strategy to prevent that conflict from escalating into open war while rejecting what Beck described as a globalist power structure centered around the World Economic Forum.

In extended remarks, Beck framed the current geopolitical moment as a struggle over who controls the global system and how it will ultimately be governed.

“He’s not changing a regime. He’s changing the global regime,” Beck said.

“Who runs the global regime? There’s two things. One, China, China, Russia, Iran. They’re running what I would call the Axis powers.”

Beck said the world is already in a Cold War, even if many people have not fully recognized it yet.

“As I told you last year, we’re in world war three. You just don’t know it yet, we’re in a Cold War. Hope to God, it never becomes a hot war,” he said.

According to Beck, Trump’s approach is focused on deterrence rather than confrontation.

“What Donald Trump is building is this arsenal so it doesn’t go into a hot war,” Beck said, comparing the pace of Trump’s actions to historical wartime preparation.

“FDR, waited too long at the pace that Donald Trump is running, It may not be too late”

Beck said the global system is breaking down economically and politically, leaving only a few possible outcomes.

“Everybody’s economy is falling apart. The whole system is falling apart. It doesn’t work anymore,” he said.

He outlined what he described as two dominant global paths: alignment with China, Russia, and Iran, or submission to a global governance structure led by elites and financial institutions.

“The WEF is the great reset that is a global government run by oligarchs and businesses and banks,” Beck said, adding that the system involves “all of the oligarchs and the banking system.”

Beck identified European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde as a central figure in that effort.

“Who’s the big foe of of the United States right now in Europe… it’s Christine Lagarde, the central banker of Europe, the European Central Bank,” he said.

“She’s the one that is coordinating all of the currencies… to bring them into this fascistic WEF world.”

Beck said Trump has proposed a third path that rejects both globalist governance and Chinese-style control.

“Donald Trump has come up with another choice, and that is America first, which is bucking the entire system,” he said.

“It’s saying we’re not going to go with a, WEF… And we’re not going to be run like a like, you know, the by the Chinese.”

He argued that Trump has effectively written off Europe as a strategic partner and is instead focused on reshaping alliances elsewhere.

“I believe Donald Trump has given up on Europe. It’s over. They can go their own way,” Beck said.

“He is written the Far East off as communist Communist China run and the Middle East, he’s negotiating with everybody.”

Beck said those negotiations are part of an effort to build leverage and prevent adversaries from aligning fully against the United States.

“He’s trying to build the the arsenal of the West,” Beck said, likening the strategy to historical efforts to neutralize threats by keeping rivals from uniting.

Turning to domestic and transnational crime, Beck criticized what he sees as a narrow focus on cartel leaders while ignoring the financial and political infrastructure that enables them.

“Marco Rubio said the other day, we’re going after the cartels and the oligarchs,” Beck said, explaining that targeting only visible criminal figures fails to dismantle the system.

“If I’m a cartel… what does the cartel boss need?” Beck said.

He listed enforcers, workers, and corrupt officials, including “the cops, the judges and the politicians,” arguing those elements are essential for cartels to survive.

Beck said removing a single leader does not stop the operation long term.

“What happens once America stops watching it? It just grows again,” he said.

He pointed to Jeffrey Epstein’s financial dealings as an example of institutional failure.

“Epstein, in his last couple of years, moved $13 billion,” Beck said, noting that repeated financial alerts were triggered but never acted upon.

“You can’t move that much money into offshore accounts without the bank knowing. The bank did know. The Treasury knew.”

Beck said focusing only on individuals misses the deeper problem. “Did we get the bad guys? No, no, we got some of the bad guys, but we didn’t get the bad guys that made it all possible,” he said.
