Ep. 3902 Trump Is Playing a MUCH BIGGER GAME Than You Think!!! · Turley Talks

• 0:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: The liberal globalist order is on its brink and awakening a new conservative age.
• 0:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: On Dr. Steve Turley, join me every day as we discover answers to today's toughest challenges and explore the re-bondalization of conservative civilization.
• 0:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is Turley Talks.
• 0:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Iran thought it had the ultimate weapon.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: At 21 mile choke point,
• 0:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: of the world's natural gas and the audacity to hold it hostage.
• 0:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: But here's what nobody in the legacy media is telling you.
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Iran didn't seize a leverage point.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It just handed one to Trump.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the single move, President Trump flipped the entire geopolitical strategic board.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Make sure to stick them to the very end of this video, because I'm going to break down exactly why Iran's Hormuz Gambit was strategically suicidal and why what you're watching now is not an escalation.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's the beginning of the end, and there's no way out for the regime.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey gang, it's me, Dr. Steve, your patron professor here to help me make sense of the madness of breaking news analysis.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to get anywhere else.

• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: As of 10 a.m. Eastern time this morning, U.S. military's blockade of Iranian ports officially went live, St. Combs blockade is being enforced against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports in coastal areas.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: through the Strait of Hormuz covering all Iranian ports on both the Rabin Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Critically ships transiting between non-Aranian ports are still being allowed through the Strait.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: meaning it is a targeted economic stranglehold on Iran rather than a full closure of the waterway.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, the blockade, of course, follows the complete breakdown of the 21-hour ceasefire talks in Islamabad with Vice President J.D.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Vance, where Iran refused to agree to nuclear dismantlement.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, what's happening here with this US enforced
• 2:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: is literally virtuistic artistry as far as the geopolitical chess board is concerned.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Calling this 40 or 50 chess on Trump's part would be an understatement.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Iran had one card.
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had a single point of leverage.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just one.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Weaponized the single most important energy choke point on the planet.
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's all they had.
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Close the straight-of-form moves.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: disrupt the global energy market, so as to force the United States and Israel, the whole their military bombardment, Iran believed that by threatening Hormuz, they could trigger a global economic shock so severe that Washington would have no choice but to stand down.
• 3:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: The world would literally be begging America to stop.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: They sound like the whole world would sound like Democrats, right?
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: And as it turns out, that logic was catastrophically flawed for the Iranians.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: When Iran mined the straight and started shaking down tankers, it didn't create leverage.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It created urgency.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Urgency for the Gulf States to build pipeline infrastructure around the straight by passing the straight.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Urgency for global energy markets to reroute urgency for regional actors to further align
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: and most importantly urgency for Trump to act and act decisively and Trump's move was pure jujitsu.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: He in effect said, you want to block hate the straight.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: You think that's your card, right?
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: You want to block hate the straight.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Fine.
• 4:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll block hate it better than you.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll block hate it better than you ever could.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trump has literally instituted a block hate of
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: He did the unthinkable.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: He saw their hand and he raised him 10X.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: U.S. forces as we speak are blockading the straight of who are moves and effectively blockading Iran's blockade.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: As of this morning, the United States Navy is sailing directly through the water.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Iran claimed it controlled.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: and sweeping it clean of all its minds, the age of system on those destroyers is the maestro of the naval orchestra talking to F-22s, F-35s, E-2D Hawke eyes, and other destroyers simultaneously, tracking and engaging multiple threats while
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: pushing 30 plus knots through a 21-mile channel.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And what the Iranian regime is now learning the very hard way is that their decision to weaponize the straight-of-war moves has turned out to be perhaps the single most strategically self-destructive move any regime is made in modern history.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this was a fool's errand from its very beginning.
• 5:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Their military, or what's left of it,
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: for prolonged enforcement against determined superior opponent and the moment you escalate a choke point like hormones you had better when you got away you have to win so that escalation because if you don't you're going to walk away with nothing you've got I mean if it's your only card and you don't win it you're going to walk away with no
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: A number of analysts have noted that Hormuz actually wasn't Iran's card.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: The only card that ever gave Iran real weight at the negotiation table was its nuclear program.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And of course, that's gone.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so the logic behind the move to turn Hormuz into their leverage was completely backwards.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, they did this on a desperation.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: The plan was to trigger a global economic shock so severe that Washington would blink, but that didn't happen.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It simply didn't happen.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: What happened instead is that the entire world started building around them.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: new routes, new infrastructure, new corridors that don't touch a Iranian water at all Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline has been ramped to roughly seven million barrels per day, routing Arabian heavy and Arabian light directly to the Red Sea completely bypassing Hormuz.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: The UAE's Fujera port is exporting over a million barrels a day through its own separate pipeline.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: daddy of them all is the Gulf of America rerout.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is it, gang, this is proof that Trump is the grandmaster, 10-D chess champion, the likes of which the world is simply never seen and we as a nation are going to be swimming in more money than we ever imagined.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: possible weight until you see this.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: But first, when we think about war, we picture soldiers in battlefields, but the real damage doesn't stay contained.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Take a look at what modern warfare looks like.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Why is this town covered in spider webs?
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: And yes, this is real.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: The answer is those are not spider webs.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is fiber optic cable.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that is what warfare looks like in 2026.
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: They prevent the drones from being jammed.
• 8:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: They trail behind them mile after mile of fiber optic cable.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now the landscape is absolutely covered
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not just these fiber optic cables, every time a missile goes off or a bomb explodes, microplastic particles are released into the upper atmosphere and spread globally, making their way into the air we breathe and the food we eat because they're so small, they get absorbed in the bloodstream and our organs, where they build up over time, triggering inflammation and increasing the risk of heart disease,
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: cancers and even Alzheimer's.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: But here's what's incredible.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: New research is now showing that certain probiotics found only in kimchi can bind to these microplastics and help remove them from the body.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: The results show that people taking the kimchi-derived probiotic were clearing out nearly twice as many microplastics.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it doesn't stop there.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Another study found that a specific strain in kimchi
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: can break down BPA.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: One of the most toxic chemicals in plastic.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now what that means is your body actually has the ability to get rid of toxins, but only when your gut is balanced and functioned the way it's supposed to.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: But here's the challenge.
• 9:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Most people aren't eating kimchi consistently enough to get those benefits.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's why
• 9:26

• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now getting their oil from the United States and U.S. broker to arrangements with Venezuela.
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you beginning to see the grand strategy that Trump has been implementing for months now?
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: According to WindWords, maritime intelligence as of April 12th.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: 172 crude oil tankers were currently in root to the United States Gulf.
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Our Gulf Coast reflecting a massive shift in global crude flows toward the United States.
• 10:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a stable export anchor.
• 10:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: That includes a 46% increase in tankers arriving via the northern corridor from Europe and a stunning 132% increase in arrivals via the southern corridor from Asia and the Gulf.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Formuz tanker traffic has dropped by roughly 70% initially after Iran's blockade began on February 28, then fell to near zero, with over 400 oil-laden tankers anchored outside the Gulf waiting for clearance.
• 11:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: That stranded volume had to go somewhere, and guess where they went?
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: They went west.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: They came here.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: buyers are replacing stranded middle Eastern barrels with US, Venezuela and Brazilian crude.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bottom line, Iran just blockated itself out of relevance.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the United States Gulf is the Gulf of America is the direct beneficiary.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So in trying to make or move their greatest weapon,
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: The IRGC is guaranteed that Hormuz becomes irrelevant and that their adversary, the United States, the very force that's bombing them becomes the chief beneficiary of that irrelevance.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is strategic stupidity at the highest level.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is the game that Trump is playing, that Iranian forces literally have no idea of by weaponizing horror moves.
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: The regime has incentivized all their neighbors to build pipeline infrastructure to get around horror moves.
• 12:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've incentivized their neighbors to further support the United States and they've incentivized the oil market to re-center itself around the Gulf of America and American energy.
• 12:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: in trying to weaponize the choke point, Iran guaranteed the construction of the very infrastructure designed to render that choke point irrelevant and make their enemies oil all the more valuable.
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right now as we speak, the largest convoy of empty supertankers
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: is streaming from the Gulf of Oman around Africa toward Texas, toward American oil, American workers, and American prosperity.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Gulf didn't become Iran's leverage, it became their liability.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And by blackhating hormones,
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trump is guaranteeing that this new global energy architecture, this new energy infrastructure will solidify permanently around the stability of the United States.
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And this new world of American-dominated energy isn't just adversely affecting Iran,
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's also completely freaking out, ding ding ding, China, right?
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Remember from the very beginning of this conflict, we've noted that Trump is accomplishing two fundamental objectives in one fell swoop and taking out Iran.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's getting rid of the chief impediment to lasting peace and prosperity in the Middle East, secured by the Abraham Accords that joined together as Rayleigh Muscle with Arab Money and
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's permanently boxing out China from having tacit control over the single most important energy choke point in the world.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hormus, China was the chief financier of Iran by 80% of Iran's oil, and a nuclear Iran would make China's control over the region permanent.
• 14:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so now think about who loses most when not a single ship moves through the straight with this U.S. blockade.
• 14:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: The single largest importer of Iranian oil on the planet.
• 14:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: They get 40% of their oil from the straight and 20% from Iran.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: The economy most dependent on that choke point, staying open is China.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Every day or moves stays closed.
• 15:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is another day, China's industrial machine runs a little hotter,
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: to stand out.
• 15:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trump didn't just block hate Iran.
• 15:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: He handed China a ticking clock, either the Hormuz situation results, which means Iran capitulates or it doesn't resolve and China pays the steepest price of anyone.
• 15:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Either way, America wins.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's absolutely brilliant.
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is five D chess on steroids.
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And again, it's not just finally dealing with Iran.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not just peace and prosperity in the region through the Abraham Accords.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not just boxing China out of the region.
• 15:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's literally forcing the world, but most especially China to recalibrate their energy purchases around the stability of the United States.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: placing America at the very center of global energy for the foreseeable future and there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is making America great again like we never even imagine.
• 16:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: China's already being forced back to buying American crude oil and LNG imports with
• 16:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: tanker tracking data showing roughly 600,000 barrels per day of US crew that's worked close to about ten billion dollars a month at current prices all coming from China.
• 16:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's absolutely astonishing that money is all coming to the United States from China's desperation and how much it needs its oil.
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: All as Iranian oil exports are going to zero.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're $100 million a day in toll extortion in the, uh, straight gone.
• 16:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: China's discounted sanctioned oil pipeline, interdicted.
• 16:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Every card Iran held has been taken off the table.
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is epic fury signature.
• 17:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Total situational dominance, zero sentimentality, and a relentless refusal to lose.
• 17:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: and we ain't seen nothing yet.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: The best is yet to come.
