Secretary Rex Tillerson’s First Speech: “Hi, I’m The New Guy”

President Donald Trump’s new Secretary of State Rex Tillerson just gave his first speech today in Washington, D.C.

After spending four decades in business and leading ExxonMobil, he thought he would be retired by now with his wife, spending time with the grandchildren. Instead, as he explained, that changed when Trump gave him a call and asked him to serve our country.

“Renda (his wife) and I were ready to head off to the ranch and enjoy our grandchildren. But when I came back from my first meeting with President Trump and he asked me to do this, Renda said, ‘you didn’t know it but you’ve been in a 41-year training program for this job.’

Then he added a joke that has everyone laughing: “So despite our own dreams, she said you’re supposed to do this. Well, my first day is here, I’m on the job.”

He concluded, “Hi, I’m the new guy.”

This is hilarious:
