Listen here, let me make one thing perfectly clear. A man from these parts, a man who's seen the fog roll in thick off the Tennessee River and who understands that a hard day's work is the only thing that puts food on the table, doesn't have time for what you call jokes. Life is a serious business, from payin' your bills to raisin' your kids right to standin' up for the flag. I look at the world and I see things that need fixin', I see problems that need solvin', and I see a future that needs protectin'. There ain't nothin' funny about that. My mind is built for ponderin' and for strategizin', not for punchlines. So when I speak my mind, whether it's about the state of our nation or what a brilliant fella like Elon Musk is gonna do next, you can take it to the bank. It's the truth as I see it, plain and simple, and there ain't a laugh track in the world that's gonna change that.
