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