Handed a sample during the executives' segment: "I want the gold. Bring it over here. It should be heavy." Gold or Silver cleared at 45.5 cents.

"Doug made a terrible mistake before when he said coal. I said you always have to precede it by saying clean beautiful coal. He made a speech once and said clean beautiful coal about 40 times, and I said that's enough."

He added that China is "building 58 coal plants right now" and sells wind turbines it does not use.

Clean Coal or Beautiful Coal cost 63.5 cents this morning and cleared in the last 90 seconds of the event.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, closing his remarks: "You've proven that we can drill baby drill and we can mine baby mine and we are going to map baby map."

Only Trump's own words count. Drill Baby Drill cost 29 cents, and Trump's reply was about oil output: "We do more oil right now than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined."

Strategic cleared on the Department of War's "office of strategic capital" signing a $1.4 billion loan for a battery plant in Washington state. It cost 77 cents.

Magnet cleared on this: "To build rare earth magnets, you have to go with magnets. That's a good one. Everyone should go for magnets." It cost 58.5 cents.

China cleared too, on mining graduates. Previously, Trump said China in 12 transcripts out of 12, and now 13.

"Before I took office, federal mining permits took 4 or 5 years, and now they take as little as 25 days."

Permit or Permitting cleared. It cost 74.5 cents this morning.

In the same passage he referred to himself in the third person, calling the White House occupant "President Donald Trump", which settles the Trump contract at 46.5 cents.

Copper had already cleared a minute earlier, on tariffs: "protecting American workers on foreign copper, aluminum, and steel." Copper opened at 62.5 cents initially and now closed at 100 cents.

Trump came out to music, thanked Marco Rubio for hosting at the State Department, and was into the subject in one sentence: "We are reclaiming America's rightful place as the minerals superpower of the world."

Rare Earth or Mineral cleared immediately. It opened this morning at 94 cents.

"The United States lost more than 3,400 mines" over three decades, and 160 mineral deals were approved in 18 months. He put the investment figure at $19.2 trillion and said it would pass $20 trillion.

The single most reliable word in this dataset is China.

China appears in 12 transcripts from 2026, spanning an agriculture roundtable, an oil and gas executives meeting, a Ford plant tour, a press briefing, two coal events, a defense summit, three energy speeches, a manufacturing speech, and a Las Vegas rally. The number of times China was said in each ranged from one to 28.

This event exists because of Chinese export controls on rare earths in the first place.

On February 1, Trump signed the bills creating the Strategic Critical Minerals Reserve, the $12bn stockpile the administration calls Project Vault. It is the closest event in the record to today.

He spoke 4,096 words. Mineral 8. Rare earth 3. Permit 4. Strategic 2. Vault 2. Magnet 1.

He said copper, cobalt, lithium, gold zero, silver, Alaska, and Nevada 0 times.

And he said crypto 4 times, which is the number we think has to be kept in mind while Bitcoin or Crypto trades at 7%.
