[SPEAKER_00]: The liberal globalist order is on its brink and awakening a new conservative age.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Steve Turley, join me every day as we discover answers to today's toughest challenges and explore the re-bondalization of conservative civilization.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is Turley Talks.
[SPEAKER_00]: something's happening that's literally changing everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: For decades, Iran has been holding the entire world hostage.
[SPEAKER_00]: They've maintained an iron grip on the single-most important energy choke point on the planet.
[SPEAKER_00]: But now, as of this moment,
[SPEAKER_00]: That Trump card has just been permanently stripped away.
[SPEAKER_00]: Stick me the very end of this video because I'm going to show you exactly how this war is literally changing the world, how the UAE, Saudi Arabian United States are rewriting the map of global energy right before our very eyes and how it promises to permanently defeat Iran and its terrorist proxies everywhere.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey gang, it's me, Dr. Steve, your patron professor here to help you make sense of the madness.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're breaking news in analysis.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to get anywhere else.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know what to do, make sure to smack that bell and subscribe button also with everything going on in the Middle East right now moments like this are exactly why I created Patriot Alerts.
[SPEAKER_00]: I send you the real story on what matters most for your faith family and freedom before you hear it anywhere else.

[SPEAKER_00]: in 60 seconds, you're signed up.
[SPEAKER_00]: U.S. Central Command has just completed its 12th consecutive night of strikes against Iran, late Wednesday, for nearly two straight weeks.
[SPEAKER_00]: American firepower has been raining down on Iran, and Wednesday nights barrage.
[SPEAKER_00]: was no exception.
[SPEAKER_00]: U.S. Central Command unleashed another wave of strikes, smashing maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage depots, coastal surveillance sites, and air defense systems in one relentless push.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sancom is reporting that this campaign is systematically stripping Iran permanently of its ability to threaten civilian mariners,
[SPEAKER_00]: having already redirected nine commercial vessels and disabled another just to keep the naval blockade airtight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Trump is drawing a hard red line, vowing to obliterate one bridge, or power facility every single time, Iran dares to target a vessel in the straight of four moves, with more than 50,000 American troops locked in across the theater, this war shows zero signs of slowing down.
[SPEAKER_00]: However,
[SPEAKER_00]: Against the backdrop of the bombs, the tankers, the blockade, the real story of this war might be happening underground.
[SPEAKER_00]: In pipelines and supply chain rerouting that nobody's even noticing.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, the state-owned oil and gas company the United Arab Emirates, one of the largest energy companies in the planet, just confirmed
[SPEAKER_00]: that a brand new pipeline bypassing Hormuz entirely is already nearly 50% complete and it's going to double export capacity at the port of Fujira on the open ocean side of the UAE with full operation target at just months from now and early 2027.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now this is technically the second pipeline that they would be building the UAE has been running oil through a single pipeline to the port of Fujira since.
[SPEAKER_00]: 2012, moving roughly 1.5 million barrels a day completely avoiding the straight.
[SPEAKER_00]: This new pipeline would, of course, at least double that capacity, and they're not alone.
[SPEAKER_00]: Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline known as Petra Line, transports crude oil roughly 750 miles from the eastern province oil fields to the Red Sea port of Yambu, allowing
[SPEAKER_00]: Saudi officials say it can move as much as 7 million barrels per day, giving the kingdom a major strategic hedge against any or moves disruption or blockade.
[SPEAKER_00]: Alongside the UAE's pipeline network,
[SPEAKER_00]: It forms one of the goals two primary bypass routes, though we should note that combined capacity still fall short of the roughly 20 million barrels per day that normally transit's the straight.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you combine that existing capacity with the new UAE expansion, you're looking at somewhere between three and 5.5 million barrels a day that can move without ever touching
[SPEAKER_00]: still shorter the roughly 20 million barrels a day that normally flowed through the straight before the war, but as it turns out it's just the beginning.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing less than an entire regional buildout happening in parallel in the scale of it is absolutely staggering.
[SPEAKER_00]: Rihond is now in preliminary talks to expand its east west pipeline petrol line from 5 million up to a full 9 million barrels a day alongside new red sea export terminals near the futuristic gnome development.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's also Iraq
[SPEAKER_00]: which has been the most exposed nation in this entire crisis, Baghdad is now building its own 435 mile Basra to Haditha Pipeline, linking through Jordan, Syria and Turkey carrying up to 2.5 million barrels a day backed by roughly $1.5 billion in new construction.
[SPEAKER_00]: On top of that, the UAE is planning an entirely new port
[SPEAKER_00]: to rival Dubai's Jebel Ali, extending this bypass strategy beyond oil into general shipping and trade, and it's not just individual countries acting alone.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Gulf Cooperation Council, the GCC itself
[SPEAKER_00]: has now formally discussed accelerating joint regional infrastructure, so they're studying shared oil and gas pipeline networks along with coordinated rail, electricity and water interconnection projects across member states.
[SPEAKER_00]: Goldman Sachs estimates that if all of these projects come online as planned.
[SPEAKER_00]: Golf producers could bypass a straight-of-horamose entirely for up to 45% of pre-war export volumes by the end of 2027, and that figure climbs to 60% by 2028.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's not a workaround, that's a wholesale re-architecture of how oil moves out of the Persian Gulf, permanently diminishing the one Trump card
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, of course, the legacy media is never going to tell you any of this.
[SPEAKER_00]: What they present is neutral reporting.
[SPEAKER_00]: It often steers perception instead of surfacing all the facts.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fortunately, millions are realizing that the news is broken, but they don't know where to turn for reliable news and information.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's precisely where ground news comes in.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ground news pulls headlines from over 50,000 news sources and makes it easier to understand what's actually happening.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could see the political bias of each outlet insights like reliability and outlet ownership and how coverage breaks down across the spectrum.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why over a million people downloaded ground news.
[SPEAKER_00]: Check it out for yourself at Ground.News slash Steve.
[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite feature is the Blind Spot feed.
[SPEAKER_00]: It shows you which stories are blowing up on one side of the aisle, but barely mentioned on the other.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the clearest way to see media bias and actions.
[SPEAKER_00]: any traction on the left, it's about Democrat strategist James Carval who totally ripping into the far left socialist destroying the Democrat party.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's actually claiming the party is going to end up splitting a part.
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't it interesting that the legacy media isn't making this a front-page story?
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, of course, the right has its own blind spots too, but now you'll know.
[SPEAKER_00]: With every story, Ground News shows you the entire spectrum of who's reporting from left, right, and center, how reliable each source is, and who owns each outlet.

[SPEAKER_00]: As it turns out, this re-architecture, the global oil supply chain in the Middle East, doesn't complete the puzzle.
[SPEAKER_00]: Another oil exporter has a reason to take up the mantle, and that exporter is in our own backyard.
[SPEAKER_00]: American energy producers are caching in on every bit of this realignment US crude oil exports hit a record 6.4 million barrels a day back in April the highest level ever recorded by the EIA the US energy information association total US crude and petroleum product exports surge to a record 12.7 million barrels a day the same month with the EIA confirming crude exports alone
[SPEAKER_00]: average 5.6 million barrels a day in April, 21% above the previous record.
[SPEAKER_00]: The week ending April 24th marked a genuinely historic moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the first week in modern American history.
[SPEAKER_00]: where the United States operated as a net exporter of crude oil.
[SPEAKER_00]: West Texas Intermediate WTI has ridden this entire wave every barrel that used to flow uncontested through horror moves that now can't.
[SPEAKER_00]: gets replaced by American oil loaded on the tankers at ports like Corpus Christi in Houston, which together handled the lion share that record export surge.
[SPEAKER_00]: Corpus Christi alone had its busiest month in port history in March and its most active quarter ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not just oil either.
[SPEAKER_00]: U.S. LNG exports broke their own record in March, climbing to 11.7 million metric tons as buyers who used to rely on Hormuz dependent supply scrambled from American gas instead was shipments to Asia more than doubling in the single month.
[SPEAKER_00]: And all of this is happening at the very same time that the United States has effectively seized control of the four major geopolitical choke points in the planet.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got Panama, that started with literally his first day in office back in January 2025, a very first week back in office, Trump rececured the Panama Canal, then you had the straighted Gibraltar, which sits at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, that's a deal, Trump struck with Morocco, which is now part of the Abraham Accords.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he got the straight of Malaka.
[SPEAKER_00]: That links the Indian Ocean with the South China Sea, and where 80% of China's imports inevitably have to sail through.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, of course, Hormuz would Trump even threatening to charge a toll for all ships going through the straight.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the United States now has a fact of control of four of the most important maritime choke points in the planet that account for nearly
[SPEAKER_00]: 50% of all the world's trade and oil access.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so putting it all together, the architecture of the world's oil supply chain has already completely changed.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Gulf nations are done depending on Iran's good behavior to move their own oil market.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are completely bypassing Hormuz, combined with American oil exports that have reached record highs all the while the U.S. guarantees the security of this new global oil export architecture by seizing control of the four major energy choke points in the planet.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is why reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the centerpiece of the talks going all the way back to April's, is Lama-Bod round in June's 14-point memorandum.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is why it's gonna carry a lot less weight.
[SPEAKER_00]: It runs one irreplaceable card as being replaced piece by piece, barrel by barrel, port by port.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's really the lesson here.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to win every battle to win a war.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes you just make your enemies best weapon obsolete while your own producers feel every gap they leave behind.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly what's happening right now in real time from the deserts of the UAE to the oil docks of corpus Christi Texas.
[SPEAKER_00]: The world is changing.
[SPEAKER_00]: And in many respects, it's only just beginning.
[SPEAKER_00]: One last thing, every wonder why analysts keep getting blindsided by Iran, Russia, or the Middle East, they're missing the theology behind the politics.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly what I unpack in my new book, Civ Cosm, available now, order using the link below.
