Could you cite your source on this?  I cannot find any reference to the US secretly taking the oil.  I find references that the US helped oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing about what you're stating.  

Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬

 

Here's the statement directly from our President:

 

 

Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:

In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:

 

 

And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:

Yes it can be a challenge for obvious reasons. Remember when people were blocked on websites during the last administration if you didn’t agree. Being retired I can scan all the sites and podcasts. I start in the morning with Glen beck during my walk. Then I watch Orielly that I recorded the night before. I scan the headlines on Newsmax, and News Nation. News Nation has Como so it’s diverse. Weekly him and Orielly have debates sometimes Steven A is along for the ride. My nightcap is Jesse Watters for comic relief. Then it’s the Astros, that’s been disappointing. Sometimes Greg Kelly if the Astros are getting blown out.

Could you narrow down to what timestamp in this video where Trump says they took the ships out, pumped the oil out of them, and then put them back?  In the first few minutes he stated that ships were taken out during darkness.  I thought the media had already reported that the US was escorting ships out.  Nothing mentioned about draining them and putting them back.  Then he went in to seafood.  Please tell me where in the video he says this.  I'm just trying to validate your comments.

 

Your Glenn Beck video stated that the US did drain the oil from the ships and put them back.  Does he have inside information?  Just trying to validate.

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.

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.

Well, now which is it?  Iranian oil tankers or tankers from UAE, Saudi, etc?  Still not showing me where Trump said it.  Until you can show me where Trump said it in a press conference, it's all fake news from the right.

I get it now. If Trump said it, like he would let someone else take credit or be first with good info. You can’t believe it. Or it’s reported as news. It must be fake news.

5.48 for 87 and 6.69 for diesel still. But guys, the peace deal is arriving today. We just have to finish shooting down these Iranian drones from their totally destroyed military. Once Don Retardentia signs the $300 Billion check made out to cash and hands it to Iran, we can move on to celebrating Don's 250th birthday in the big bouncy castle outside the WH!

    • Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol    
    • You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !
    • This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.  
    • My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
