Remarks Invoke 'Gold Rush' Rhetoric and Slogans in Push for Domestic Mining

Department of State · August 10, 2026

Summary

At a Department of State event, a presenter used historical and campaign-style language — "reawakening the spirit of the gold rush" and "we're making mining great again" — to promote a domestic mining agenda; the transcript records rhetoric but no operational plans.

The presenter used historical and emphatic language to promote domestic mining, invoking the "spirit of the gold rush" and saying, "we're making mining great again," while also thanking the president for bringing mining back to the country.

At times the remarks included informal or colloquial phrasing intended to be memorable: "You've proven that we can drill baby girl," and "we can mine baby mine, and we're gonna put American mining back on the map." These lines served as rhetorical emphasis rather than policy detail. The transcript contains no follow-up Q&A, implementation plan, or references to specific projects.
