Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: The liberal globalist order is on its brink and awakening a new conservative age.

- 0:18[SPEAKER_00]: This is Turley Talks.
- 0:21[SPEAKER_00]: China thought it had all the cards, a nuclear armed Iran, buying Beijing permanent control over the state of Formus, discounted oil flowing in secret paid in Yuan, a strategy decades in the making designed to dethrone the American dollar and make Beijing the center of global power.
- 0:43[SPEAKER_00]: But here's what nobody in the legacy media is connecting for you.
- 0:51[SPEAKER_00]: a trap and President Trump just sprung it on two fronts simultaneously.
- 0:57[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure to stick with me the very end of this video because we're going to see how what looks like a crisis is actually the most brilliant grand strategy any American president has executed in modern memory and there's absolutely nothing Beijing can do to stop it.

- 1:44[SPEAKER_00]: Let's start with China's moves because Trump is in the only one trying to play Grand Strategy chess here.
- 1:52[SPEAKER_00]: So right now, US intelligence has confirmed that China is actively preparing to deliver
- 2:02[SPEAKER_00]: anti-aircraft missile launchers to Iran routed through third countries like Pakistan to obscure the origin of the weapons.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_00]: And that's not all.
- 2:13[SPEAKER_00]: Separate intelligence reporting reveals Chinese companies have been shipping chemicals, fuel, and dual-use military components directly to Iran to help rebuild the regime's battered military manufacturing capacity.
- 2:28[SPEAKER_00]: Meanwhile, Beijing's official response to Trump's Hormuz blockade was to call it, quote, dangerous and irresponsible declaring that they will honor all energy and trade commitments to Tehran and warning Washington against, quote, external interference.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_00]: Russia's foreign minister Segail Lavrov flew to Beijing for emergency talks to coordinate a united front against this
- 2:58[SPEAKER_00]: Trump, for his part, responded by threatening 50% tariffs on any nation found arming around most especially China.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_00]: So there are arming our enemies.
- 3:09[SPEAKER_00]: They're running diplomatic interference.
- 3:11[SPEAKER_00]: They're calling our blockade illegal.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_00]: And they're doing everything they can to try to thwart our efforts in the Middle East.
- 3:18[SPEAKER_00]: And yet, what seems to elude Chinese officials, what they have yet to process,
- 3:25[SPEAKER_00]: is that every single move they just made actually walk them deeper into a trap.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_00]: So let's make sure we understand how all the pieces are placed on the international chess board here.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: China is the world's single largest importer of oil on the planet, bar none.
- 3:46[SPEAKER_00]: They currently import approximately 10 million barrels per day
- 3:53[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to depend on foreign sources for as much as 80% of their total oil consumption.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_00]: Now, here's the number that should make Beijing wake up in a cold sweat.
- 4:03[SPEAKER_00]: Roughly, 80% of China's oil imports pass through a single narrow waterway, and it's not the straight of our moves.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_00]: It's the straight of Malaka.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_00]: It's a two-mile-wide channel of water between Malaysia and the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_00]: Over 90,000 ships squeeze through this artery every single year.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_00]: And for natural gas, approximately 41% of Chinese imports transit the same choke point.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_00]: This is what Chinese strategists call,
- 4:43[SPEAKER_00]: dilemma, and it goes all the way back to the early 2000s, when President Hujian Tao himself identified this as China's chief strategic vulnerability and publicly warned about it in number of his speeches.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_00]: He was right to worry, because there are three nations that control the state of Belaca.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.
- 5:08[SPEAKER_00]: Now Singapore is already a rock solid US ally.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_00]: Malaysia has been moving closer and closer to Washington's orbit for years.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_00]: And Indonesia, well that's where this story just got very, very interesting.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_00]: But first gang, let's face it.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: You had a number in your head, right?
- 5:31[SPEAKER_00]: The number of you thought would be enough to retire and then the price of life went up.
- 5:37[SPEAKER_00]: and up, and up, and now the question isn't whether you saved, it's whether what you saved can still buy the retirement you plan for.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, think about what's happening right now, warflering up oil spikes, and then everything gets higher.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_00]: Gas, groceries, insurance, bills, we seen this before.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_00]: We're watching a structural shift in the global economy where
- 6:02[SPEAKER_00]: inflation isn't temporary, it's embedded.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_00]: And historically when that happens, purchasing power doesn't recover.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_00]: It erodes.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_00]: Your dollar buys less, your savings carry less, and people who are counting down to retirement, they start wondering if they got to push it back all because the cost of living moved the finish line.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_00]: that was my wakeup call.
- 6:27[SPEAKER_00]: I knew there had to be something else I could do to protect what I built.
- 6:32[SPEAKER_00]: So I researched and that's when I found Augusta precious metals.
- 6:36[SPEAKER_00]: And gang, they taught me things I didn't even know where possible.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_00]: I had no idea you could move your IRA or 401k
- 6:44[SPEAKER_00]: into physical gold, tax-free, penalty-free, a real asset that's held its value through war, oil spikes, and market chaos.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_00]: And that changed everything for me.
- 6:55[SPEAKER_00]: I've spoken with the gusts as education team.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_00]: These guys know their stuff and they explain it so clearly.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_00]: So here's what I recommend you do right now.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_00]: Go to turlybuysgold.com or text turly,
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: to 35052 to get Augustus free gold IRA guide.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: That's turlybyesgold.com or text turly to 35052 because the retirement you dreamed of is still possible, but only if you protect it.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_00]: On Monday, April 13, while the entire world was watching horror moves, Secretary of War Pete Heggseth, quietly hosted Indonesian Defense Minister, Shafri, Sam Shaudin, in the Pentagon.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_00]: And what they announced was a major defense cooperation partnership between the United States and Indonesia.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_00]: The partnership has three pillars,
- 7:48[SPEAKER_00]: One, military modernization capacity building, two, training and professional military education, and three regional exercises and operational cooperation.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_00]: And woven into this agreement is Indonesia granting US military aircraft, quote, blanket overflight access across the whole of Indonesian airspace,
- 8:18[SPEAKER_00]: the southern bank of the state of Malaca, US aircraft with overflight rights over Indonesia means that American eyes and American firepower are now positioned directly above the single most critical energy choke point.
- 8:36[SPEAKER_00]: in China's entire global economic architecture.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_00]: And this is so key, we now have effective control over the most important shipping lane in the world, linking the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea without deploying a single ground troop.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: without firing a single shot.
- 8:56[SPEAKER_00]: Without triggering a single international incident, just a handshake at the Pentagon and suddenly the Malaca dilemma goes from a theoretical vulnerability to a very real one.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_00]: It's pure jujitsu.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_00]: China spent decades worried about the scenario and Trump made it real.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_00]: While the world wasn't even looking.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I want you to connect the dots here because this is where it gets it's absolutely stunning.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_00]: We now have the United States controlling or at least able to control both of the choke points that China's economy completely depends on.
- 9:37[SPEAKER_00]: Or Moses locked.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_00]: China was getting 40% of its Persian Gulf oil through that straight.
- 9:42[SPEAKER_00]: That tap has effectively been turned off at least when it comes to Iran.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_00]: Every day the blockade holds is another day China's industrial machine gets running hotter.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_00]: It's paying more it's scrambling for alternatives.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_00]: And then Malaka, that's the other 80%.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_00]: It is now effectively under American surveillance and strategic influence through our new Indonesian partnership.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_00]: China's alternatives are pitiful by comparison.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, Beijing has been trying to solve the Malakad dilemma for 20 years.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_00]: And the answer every time comes back to say, there is no solution.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: The geography simply doesn't allow it.
- 10:30[SPEAKER_00]: And now with Indonesian Washington's corner, that dilemma has become for China a strategic nightmare.
- 10:42[SPEAKER_00]: it gets even better.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_00]: Because Trump isn't just threatening China's energy supply.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_00]: He's recalibrating the entire global energy market around the United States.
- 10:55[SPEAKER_00]: Here's what the maritime tracking data is showing us right now.
- 10:58[SPEAKER_00]: 172 empty crude oil tankers.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_00]: are currently in root to the Gulf of America, reflecting a tidal wave shift in global crude flows toward the United States as the new stable export anchor for the world.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_00]: That includes 132% increase in tanker arrivals via the southern corridor from Asia and the Gulf.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_00]: American crude American LNG American energy and China, which was getting its discounted sanctioned Iranian oil for pennies on the dollar, paid in yuan is now being forced in an utterly humiliating way back to U.S. crude and LNG imports.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_00]: With tracking data showing approximately 600,000 barrels per day of American crude going to China worth close to 10 billion dollars a month at current prices.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_00]: We are literally as a nation swimming in money right now.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_00]: It's absolutely extraordinary.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_00]: Iran was China's back channel energy pipeline cheap off the books,
- 12:22[SPEAKER_00]: And the world is now recalibrating around the Gulf of America, all the while the other major oil exporters, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and of course Venezuela are now all U.S. aligned suppliers.
- 12:39[SPEAKER_00]: All of it transacted in U.S. dollars through U.S. anchored markets.
- 12:45[SPEAKER_00]: China wanted de-dollarization.
- 12:48[SPEAKER_00]: what they got was re-dollarization on steroids.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_00]: So let's step back and gaze at the complete architecture of what Trump is built here.
- 13:00[SPEAKER_00]: In this new world order as it were, in the very dynamics of international relations, America gets increasingly stronger all the while our adversaries are primed to get increasingly weaker.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_00]: America gets stronger.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_00]: Our adversaries get weaker.
- 13:22[SPEAKER_00]: That's the new dynamic that's built into the system, the architecture that Trump is creating.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_00]: America gets stronger militarily every single day with new partnerships, new forward positions,
- 13:37[SPEAKER_00]: a carrier strike group dominating Hormuz and now overflight rights above Malaka.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_00]: America gets stronger economically every day with global energy demand, surging toward U.S. oil, U.S. LNG, U.S. workers, U.S. dollars.
- 13:55[SPEAKER_00]: And our adversaries at the same time, Iran and China.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: they get increasingly weaker together.
- 14:04[SPEAKER_00]: Iran losing its last card in Hormuz, China losing its energy security.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_00]: Both of them watching the dollar, they tried to kill become more essential to the global economy than ever.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_00]: This is total situational dominance, zero sentimentality, and a relentless refusal to lose.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the new world of America.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_00]: Made great again.
