UN Speech - September 27, 2018
December 28, 2018
[Maori] Madam President, Mr. Secretary-General, friends in the global community, my opening remarks were in Maori the language of the indigenous people of our te reo New Zealand. As is tradition, I acknowledge those who are here, why we are here, and the importance of our work. It seems a fitting place to stand. I'm struck as a leader attending my first United Nations General Assembly by the power and the potential that resides here, but in New Zealand we have always been acutely aware of that. We are a […]

CPAC - March 4, 2016
March 4, 2016
MARTIN: Good afternoon CPAC. You know, the President of the United States’ last address is gathering eight years ago. Do the math, it was a different president then. As he sat in the Oval Office preparing for that speech, he came across a phrase that confused him. So he asked, “what is this movement you keep talking about in the speech?” The speech writer, stunned responded, “well the conservative movement. You know the one started back in the 60s when this conservative groups first took root?” That apparently didn't sit […]

January 28, 2016
MARTIN: Thank you man so much, Steve, and thanks to Breitbart for all the you do for our movement and for conservatism. And thank you to Joe Dougan and the entire team who organized and put this conference together today. It's such an awesome success. Good morning fellow disruptors. You and I are disrupting the establishment and they don't know what to do. Not even a full seven years ago, our movement began because we were so concerned about the direction our country was headed. In the past year, we […]

Tea Party Five Year Anniversary Event - February 28, 2014
February 24, 2014
MARTIN: We want an America where personal freedom is cherished and all Americans are treated equally so that everyone can pursue the American dream. Nearly everyone you talk to you will tell you they want that too. A lot of Americans think they already have that, but when your targeted by the IRS, when you learn that your government is listening to your phone calls, or making you buy health insurance you don't want or need, or that our nation is $17 trillion in debt, which means every American share […]

The War on Women: Myth or Reality? - April 19, 2013
April 19, 2013
CROUSE: Thank you for coming out on this cold and wet day. Robert Frost’s poem “Mending Wall” describes two neighbors who meet every spring to walk the fence dividing their property. After a cold hard winter, damage has to be assessed and repaired. In the year 2000, CWA published my assessment of a whole century of American women's well-being in gaining ground, a profile of American women in 20th century. This report presented a wide array of data series showing women's well-being in seven different areas: education, health, economics, and […]

Address Before The Second Biennial Convention of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union - Oct. 1893
October 16, 1893
Beloved Comrades of the White Ribbon Army: WHEN we began the delicate, difficult, and dangerous operation of dissecting out the alcohol nerve from the body politic, we did not realize the intricacy of the undertaking nor the distances that must be traversed by the scalpel of investigation and research. In about seventy days from now, twenty years will have elapsed since the call of battle sounded its bugle note among the homes and hearts of Hillsboro, Ohio. We have all been refreshing our knowledge of those days by reading the […]
