I did tell them when they called — it’s really okay, I’ve got this. I told them when they called, I said, you know, I dropped out of GW. It was my third and final attempt at college. And they said, “Oh, no, that’s cool. Come on ahead.”
And so today I want to share with you a bit of the story of how I came academically to achieve the sum total of 18 college credits. Thank you very much….
The best news is I don’t have a speech. I have just a few thoughts because it’s hot, and you’re hung over. But enough about your parents. We’re also way too close to Congress to give a speech, and we’ve established you’re all smarter than me. So I have just two things to tell you. Number one, how I dropped out of GW, which is kind of a fun story, and number two, a few great things about America. And then you’re free to go.
