0:00.0	Welcome to the David Packman Show.
0:08.7	I am Farron Cousins sitting in for David Packman today.
0:12.8	And folks, we have so much to cover.
0:15.0	I really ought to jump in, but just to let you know what we've got coming up on this week's
0:20.1	show, Donald Trump has his feelings hurt by the cover of Time magazine.
0:24.6	J.D. Vance throws his wife under the bus to save a Doge staffer for his racist posts on X.
0:32.6	And of course, just nonstop chaos from the Doge office in general. Attorney General Pam Bondi decides
0:40.6	that going after DEI is far better than doing anything to help consumers. And the leader that

1:37.2	all these things, but none of those concerns were bigger than, of course, mushy paper straws.
1:44.8	So on Friday, Donald Trump got on truth social and made this bold announcement.
1:50.0	I will be signing an executive order next week, ending the ridiculous Biden push for paper
1:54.5	straws, which don't work.
1:56.5	Back to plastic, he says. So, so there you have it. I mean, I guess all of our problems are solved in
