Tonight I'm going to sign a historic executive order to officially waive the off -road requirement and allow anyone to purchase tax -free red dye diesel for any reason. Executive order on red dye diesel. What's red dye diesel? I mean I know all of those words individually but not all together. Is that how they make Froot Loops? I think... Well thankfully the president is signing an executive order about it. So he'll explain it to us. Red -dyed diesel, you know what that is? I don't know what the hell it is, but whatever it is, it's supposed to be very good. Does anybody want to explain it? If you're doing this to help us, shouldn't you at least know what it is? This feels like a doctor going, well, I finished your vasectomy. By the way, what do the balls do anyway?
