00:00This is an executive order relating to the use of paper straws.
00:03As you've consistently identified, nobody really likes paper straws.
00:07Number one trending.
00:09Can you believe it?
00:10A paper straw was number one trending for three days or something.
00:13The environmental impact of plastic straws versus paper straws is entirely unclear.
00:18This has cost both the government and private industry an absolute ton of money and left
00:23consumers all over the country wildly dissatisfied with their straws.
00:26So we're asking aspects of the federal government, federal departments and agencies to look at their
00:32existing procurement processes and we're asking your domestic policy council to look holistically
00:37at this issue to address it and it really is something that affects ordinary Americans
00:42in their everyday lives.
00:43We're going back to plastic straws.
00:45These things don't work.
00:46I've had them many times and on occasion they break, they explode.
00:52If something's hot, they don't last very long, like a matter of minutes.
00:56Sometimes a matter of seconds.
00:57It's a ridiculous situation.
01:00So we're going back to plastic straws.
01:03I think it's okay.
01:14And I don't think that plastic is going to affect a shark very much as they're eating,
01:19as they're munching their way through the ocean.
01:22Thank you, sir.
01:23Don't miss out.
