President Trump arrived in Corpus Christi on Friday and did exactly what conservatives have been demanding for years: he put American energy front and center and unabashedly shouted “drill, baby, drill” while laying out an agenda to unleash domestic oil and gas production. It was a welcome reminder that defending American energy sovereignty is not a partisan indulgence but a practical plan to lower prices, create jobs, and secure our future.
Corpus Christi isn’t just a scenic Gulf Coast city — it’s the beating heart of U.S. LNG exports, and Trump was right to set his message where American energy is made. The Port of Corpus Christi handles a staggering share of the nation’s liquefied natural gas, making it the perfect backdrop for a speech about returning manufacturing and energy jobs to this country. Local workers and families understand what’s at stake: energy means livelihoods, and Mr. Trump made their case plainly.
The president also used the appearance to remind Americans of the economic wins his policies have produced, pointing to surging production and a revitalized oil sector that critics said was impossible. Conservatives should be proud that an administration is finally prioritizing production over endless regulation and foreign dependence, proving once again that when America taps its potential its workers prosper.
You could feel the enthusiasm in the crowd — from lifelong oilfield hands to kids seeing real-world patriotism up close — a 14-year-old even skipped school to watch the president speak. That kind of grassroots excitement doesn’t come from scripted press releases; it comes from people who see opportunity in energy and want leaders who will fight for it. Meanwhile, the hostile coastal elites and their media allies will wring their hands about “climate” while ignoring the wages and stability at stake for ordinary Americans.
This administration hasn’t just talked — it has taken bold steps, including declaring a national energy emergency and moving to restore America’s resource dominance so we don’t live at the mercy of foreign whims. The Left’s “green new scam” talk has been exposed as an abstract virtue signal that sacrifices real workers and real security, and Trump’s unapologetic pro-energy stance is the sensible, patriotic alternative.
As Texas Republicans prepare for hard-fought primaries, Mr. Trump’s message is a clear call to keep energy policy in the hands of those who value American strength and independence. If conservatives want prosperity, security, and genuine sovereignty, they should rally behind policies that unlock our resources, fuel our industries, and put American workers first — and they should remember that real leadership doesn’t flinch from saying exactly what needs to be done.
