The statement 'Long time watcher, first time guest. It's an honor to join you on the other side of woke, Chris.' does not constitute public discourse. It appears to be a personal comment made in the context of a guest appearance on a television show. The statement is conversational and does not substantively engage with public issues, debates, or discussions that contribute to civic dialogue. It primarily serves as an introduction or a personal remark related to an upcoming interview, without addressing any societal issues or policies.
