Then tell me when did he say it? I'm just trying to validate your point of view. Seems that you two and Glenn Beck are the only ones that heard it.

Yes, Donald Trump did make statements along those lines, but not exactly that the U.S. seized tankers, pumped the oil out, and then returned them.
In remarks on June 10, 2026, Trump claimed the U.S. had secretly helped move large amounts of oil through the Strait of Hormuz despite Iranian interference. He said the U.S. had been "taking out millions of barrels of oil" and described oil tankers moving at night with their lights off. He later posted that he had directed a "secret mission" to support oil tankers and commercial ships through the strait, claiming more than 100 million barrels of oil had reached world markets and over 200 ships had passed safely.
However, there is no evidence that Trump said the U.S. boarded oil tankers, pumped the oil out of them, and then put the tankers back. The claims were about helping ships transit the Strait of Hormuz, not confiscating or unloading their cargo.
It's also worth noting that Trump's statements were questioned by his own Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, who testified that he was not aware of the U.S. removing millions of barrels of oil, though he did say the U.S. military had helped some oil shipments move through the strait.
So the short answer is:
Yes, Trump said the U.S. secretly helped move millions of barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
No, he did not say the U.S. took oil out of tankers, emptied them, and then returned the ships.
Some of the details and scale of Trump's claims have been disputed or remain unverified.
I watch the press conference where he said it. Then I listen to the Glenn Beck radio the next day. Shortly after the press conference the barrel of oil went down. Gas prices have been going down around here. I guess you go on an adventure and see for yourself. It might be a little dangerous. I’m sure if you look enough you can find alleged evidence you back what ever you believe.
