A Speech by The Duke of Cambridge at the Patron's Lunch on The Mall Your Majesty, Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you so much for showing that the Great British public doesn't let a little rain spoil a good day out. It means so much to see everybody here today. Can I begin by thanking the organisers of this event, especially my cousin Peter for working so hard over ...
Hello, Air Force! Thank you so much. Thank you. It is wonderful to be back at the United States Air Force Academy! Thank you, Secretary James, for your service to our Air Force and to our nation. Governor Hickenlooper, Academy leaders, faculty and staff – especially your outstanding Superintendent, Lieutenant General Michelle Johnson. And most of all, congratulations to the ...
Hi, everybody. The story of America is a story of progress. It's written by ordinary people who put their shoulders to the wheel of history to make sure that the promise of our founding applies not just to some of us – but to all of us. Farmers and blacksmiths who chose revolution over tyranny. Immigrants who crossed oceans and the Rio Grande. Women who reached for the b...
Elkhart, Indiana was the first town I visited as President. I'd been on the job for three weeks, and we were just a few months into the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. Elkhart was hit harder than most. Unemployment there peaked at nearly twenty percent shortly after my visit. Nearly one in five people there were out of work. This week, I returned to Elkhart. Unem...
President Obama: Hi, everybody. I've got a special guest with me this week – Macklemore. For those of you who don't share the same love for hip-hop that I do, he's a Grammy-winning artist, but he's also an advocate who's giving voice to a disease that we too often just whisper about: the disease of addiction. Macklemore: Hey, everybody. I'm here with ...
Thank you, thank you, President Faust, and Paul Choi, thank you so much. It's an honor and a thrill to address this group of distinguished alumni and supportive friends and kvelling parents. We've all gathered to share in the joy of this day, so please join me in congratulating Harvard's Class of 2016. I can remember my own college graduation, which is easy, sinc...
When I was in middle school, a poisonous spider bit my right hand. I ran to my mom for help, but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on fire. After wrapping my hand with several layers of cotton, then soaking in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth and ignited the cotton. Heat quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my hand. The searing pain made...
You can't say it, but you know it's true. Good evening, everybody. It is an honor to be here at my last – and perhaps the last – White House Correspondents' Dinner. You all look great. The end of the Republic has never looked better. I do apologize – I know I was a little late tonight. I was running on C.P.T. – – which stands for "jokes that white people sho...
President Obama: Thank you! Hello, Howard! H-U! Audience: You know! President Obama: H-U! Audience: You know! President Obama: Thank you so much, everybody. Please, please, have a seat. Oh, I feel important now. Got a degree from Howard. Cicely Tyson said something nice about me. Audience member: I love you, President! President Obama: I love you back. To President Frederick...
I have just been to Buckingham Palace, where Her Majesty The Queen has asked me to form a new government, and I accepted. In David Cameron, I follow in the footsteps of a great, modern Prime Minister. Under David's leadership, the government stabilised the economy, reduced the budget deficit, and helped more people into work than ever before. But David's true legacy ...
Hi, everybody. I've delivered a few hundred of these weekly addresses over the years. And you may have noticed a theme that pops up pretty often: The Republicans who run this Congress aren't doing their jobs. And guess what? Congress recently returned from a seven-week vacation. And they've only got two weeks left until their next one. But there's a lot of bu...
Good morning! Thank you all very much for joining me this morning after a long night – and a long few months – for all of us. Yesterday, Scotland – like London and Northern Ireland – voted overwhelmingly to remain in the European Union. We voted to protect our place in the world's biggest single market – and the jobs and investment that depend on it. We voted to safeguar...
Hello, everyone. Nine months ago, I announced the Reach Higher Career App Challenge. We called on app developers, educators, entrepreneurs, and others to put their heads together and design new mobile apps to help students realize their career dreams. We did this because we know that there's so many excellent programs that teach cutting-edge skills, including career and ...
So Mr. President, Secretary General, Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, Prior to my assuming the high office of the Presidency, and before taking the solemn Oath of Office, I have a few remarks to make before parting with my status as President-elect. Firstly, on behalf of you all, it is my duty and privilege this afternoon to thank the President of...
Hello, I'm Buddy Carter, and I represent the first district of Georgia. This week, I held seven town-hall meetings with people from all over our district. We talked about a lot of different issues. But the one thing I heard over and over again was this: People are frustrated. They're working as hard as ever to pay the bills and put food on the table. But they're ...
Ladies and gentlemen, Dare to dream that the dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom. This, if the predictions now are right, this will be a victory for real people, a victory for ordinary people, a victory for decent people. We have fought, we have fought against the multinationals, we have fought against the big merchant banks, we have fought against big politics...
Good afternoon, everybody. As all of you know now, this morning, three law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge were killed in the line of duty. Three others were wounded. One is still in critical condition. As of right now, we don't know the motive of the killer. We don't know whether the killer set out to target police officers, or whether he gunned them down as the...
Earlier this year, I got a letter from a South Carolina woman named Ashley, who was expecting her third child. She was, in her words, "extremely concerned" about the Zika virus, and what it might mean for other pregnant women like her. I understand that concern. As a father, Ashley's letter has stuck with me, and it's why we've been so focused on the th...
In the summer of 2012, London hosted what can only be described as the greatest show on Earth. The 2012 Olympics opening ceremony showed Britain at its creative best. I remember the opening ceremony vividly. I loved it. I mean, it was sort of a people's history of England. We went very much on the rise of our country culturally, economically, all the things that we'd...
Hello, everyone! I'm delighted to join you in celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. This evening, we gather under the moonlight to give thanks for the harvest and the year's successes. As we light lanterns and make mooncakes, we are reminded of Canada's greatest strength – our diversity. I'm grateful for Canada's diversity and proud of the contributions ma...
