| I should really read to you the opening sentences there. | |
| They reported on my speech, and it's not even subtle that the reporter didn't like me. | |
| Is that fair to say? | |
| Oh my God. | |
| I spoke for about, I would say, almost 90 minutes, and then... | |
| And then I took questions, and I would say virtually nothing of what I actually said was reported. | |
| But I want to read to you the opening of the report. | |
| College Republicans host conservative commentator Dennis Prager for Israel and Morality Talk. | |
| That's the headline. | |
| That's the title of the piece. | |
| So who wrote it? | |
| Cameron Spur. | |
| I didn't even look to see that. | |
| Conservative author and radio host Dennis Prager, a school of international and public affairs dropout. | |
| I have to say, I've been called everything. | |
| I mean everything. | |
| Dropout, that's the first. | |
| So, it's so interesting. | |
| The normal way of putting it, somebody who attends, Graduate school, for example, and does not stay for a degree, you normally say, Dennis Prager, who attended the School of International Affairs. | |
| Isn't that what you would normally think? | |
| Whether I got the degree or not? | |
| Or even say, but, you know, left before getting his degree or anything. | |
| I'm not even... | |
| I'm not personally offended. | |
| I just want you to understand how in the first sentence the Columbia University newspaper wanted to belittle me. | |
| So it's an interesting thing. | |
| Did you ever even hear of a graduate school dropout? | |
| It's a term used for high school and college. | |
| And not even college so much. | |
| I'm a graduate school dropout. | |
| It's really precious. | |
| By the way, just for the record, you should all know what it meant to drop out. | |
| I actually gave my master's thesis orally, and I did not type it up. | |
| That is correct. | |
| It would have taken a very long time. | |
| Ironically, or interestingly, perhaps not ironically, because I simply didn't know how to touch type. | |
| And in those days, unlike now, when you make an error, you just redo the word in a nanosecond. | |
| In those days, if you made an error while typing, you had to use some white-out fluid over the letter, go back, and then retype the letter. | |
| So if you didn't know how to type, touch type as they called it, you really were in trouble. | |
| And the interesting thing is I was never taught it. | |
| Here's an example of where sexism, and it was sexism, I will acknowledge, really benefited women. | |
| When I was in high school, I think it was high school, The girls were taught to type and the boys were not taught to type. | |
| Did you know that? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Did you have that too? | |
| No. | |
| No, but I did. | |
| It was probably common a long time ago. | |
| Those lucky girls who learned how to type. | |
| I didn't learn anything in the other class. | |
| I don't even know what it was. | |
| I think it was something to do with health. | |
| Maybe that's why I've been healthy. | |
| Maybe I shouldn't be ungrateful. | |
| Anyway, dropout. | |
| Spoke to students in the Lerner Arun Arledge Cinema on Tuesday in an event titled Israel and Morality, hosted by the Columbia University College Republicans. | |
| Prager, a staunchly pro-Israel voice. | |
| That's so fascinating. | |
| A staunchly pro-Israel voice. | |
| That's correct. | |
| I am a staunchly pro-Israel voice. | |
| I assume that the author believes that there are just two sides. | |
| There's the staunchly pro-Palestinian and the staunchly pro-Israel. |
