Wow! Let me just take it in. First of all, it is beyond a pleasure and an honor to be here to celebrate the City College of New York Class of 2016! You all, I mean, this has been the most fun I think I've had at a commencement ever. Let me just say a few thank-yous. Let me start, of course, by thanking President Coico for that wonderful introduction, for her leadership h...
Today, as Americans, we grieve the brutal murder – a horrific massacre – of dozens of innocent people. We pray for their families, who are grasping for answers with broken hearts. We stand with the people of Orlando, who have endured a terrible attack on their city. Although it's still early in the investigation, we know enough to say that this was an act of terror and a...
Thank you. Thank you very much, Mike, thank you for the introduction, but – more than that – for your service to our country, and our partnership during the four years I served as Secretary of State. What happens in Vladivostok stays in Vladivostok. I am delighted to be back here at Stanford. And I will never forget the day that we first brought Chelsea here. I brought her t...
CRUZ: Wisconsin is a beautiful place where the people place solutions over slogans. Our campaign is for the working moms, the truck drivers, the mechanics, and the machinists with calluses on their hands. It's for the farmers and factory workers and the families who worry about prices going up while paychecks stay flat. It's for the young people coming out of school ...
Mrs. Reagan. Thank you. As a mother, I've always thought of September as a special month, a time when we bundled our children off to school, to the warmth of an environment in which they could fulfill the promise and hope in those restless minds. But so much has happened over these last years, so much to shake the foundations of all that we know and all that we believe i...
Hello, I'm Senator Richard Burr from the great state of North Carolina and I'm honored to chair the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Today, I'll lay out for you the terrorist threat to the United States and our allies – a growing threat that is no longer confined to the Middle East, South Asia, or even Europe. Since the deadly attacks in Brussels just two...
Hello, I'm Kelly Ayotte, and I'm proud to represent the great state of New Hampshire in the United States Senate. For the past few years, I've been working to bring attention to the heroin and prescription opioid abuse epidemic that is impacting my state and communities nationwide. This is a life or death issue. In 2015, four hundred twenty New Hampshire resident...
Hello, everybody. This past week, we lost an American icon and one of the most influential figures of her time – former First Lady Nancy Reagan. Born in New York City, and raised mostly in Chicago, Nancy Davis graduated from Smith College in 1943. As an actress, she appeared in 11 films. And off-screen, she starred in a real-life Hollywood romance with the love of her life, ...
Hello, everybody. One of America's greatest strengths is our free market. A thriving private sector is the lifeblood of our economy – it's how we create jobs, expand opportunities, and give everybody a shot at success. It's what has made America the strongest country on Earth. The most essential ingredient in a healthy free market is competition. But right now, t...
Thank you, Mr. Secretary General, for the honor to address this body once more. And thanks to the distinguished climate leaders assembled here today who are ready to take action. President Abraham Lincoln was also thinking of bold action 150 years ago when he said: "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present…As our case is new, so we must think an...
Good afternoon, everybody. If we could get started. If everybody could take their seats, please. Just to summarize where we've been, in the morning session we discussed the extensive and impressive national action steps that many of us have taken, and the collective efforts that we've made to reduce the amount of nuclear material that might be accessible to terrorist...
Thank you. Thank you very much, Ian. Thanks for that introduction. Thank you for the welcome. It's great to be back in Birmingham, great to be with you at PwC. And, as Ian has just said, we've got 78 days to go before the most important political decision that most of us will make in our lifetimes: whether to stay in or to leave a reformed European Union. And it is i...
Thank you, Texas! God bless the Lone Star State, and God bless the great state of Oklahoma. In 324 days, Marine One will depart Washington, D.C., with a very important dignitary onboard – former President Barack Obama. This much is certain. January 20, 2017 will be President Obama's last day in office. And, on that day, we will have a new president of the United States. ...
Good afternoon, everyone. It is my privilege to welcome you to this landmark gathering – the first U.S.-ASEAN Summit hosted by the United States. This reflects my personal commitment, and the national commitment of the United States, to a strong and enduring partnership with your 10 nations individually and to Southeast Asia as one region, as one community – ASEAN. I want to...
Every 25 minutes in America, a baby is born who was exposed to drugs during pregnancy. Because of their exposure to opioids, heroin, and other drugs, they may spend their first weeks suffering from withdrawal. Their bodies shake with tremors, and their cries are heartbreaking. This is called neonatal abstinence syndrome, and it is truly a terrible way to come into this world...
The people of the United Kingdom have voted to leave the European Union. Inevitably, there will be a period of uncertainty and adjustment following this result. But as the Prime Minister said just this morning, there will be no initial change in the way our people can travel, in the way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold. And it will take some time for th...
Hi, everybody. This week, we continued our mission to destroy ISIL. This remains a difficult fight, and the situation in Syria and Iraq is incredibly complex. ISIL is entrenched, including in urban areas. It uses innocent civilians as human shields. Despite these challenges, though, I can report that we're making progress. And this week, I directed my team to continue ac...
Hi, everybody. One of the things that makes America so strong is our spirit of innovation, our drive to invent and harness new technologies to tackle our greatest challenges. It's how we won the race to invent the lightbulb and the Internet; it's why we were first to the Moon and Mars. It's why I keep models of American inventions like the telegraph in the Oval O...
On behalf of the whole country, I want to wish Her Majesty the Queen a very special 90th birthday. Her Majesty has devoted her entire life to the service of others, representing our country, and carrying out all her duties with extraordinary grace and humility. Rarely has anyone in public life served for so long, served so brilliantly, worked so hard, and brought so many peo...
In the suburbs of Chicago, somebody dies from using heroin every three days. And every single one of them leaves behind a family in grief. I want to tell you about one in particular. His name was Alex Laliberte. He grew up in Buffalo Grove – just outside of Chicago. Alex graduated from Stevenson High School, played sports, got good grades, made a lot of friends – and had his...
