Radio Address for the League of Nations Association - Jan. 10, 1935
January 10, 1935
The League of Nations is fifteen years old today. All around the world its coming was hailed with joy by millions of men and women who accepted it as a sign that there would be no more war. Alas! there were two facts the world forgot at that moment. First, when a nation proposes to enter war, certain primitive instincts are aroused among the people such as hatred, jealousy, scorn, suspicion, and distrust. If its people are not sufficiently controlled by these low motives, it issues publicity aiming to bestir […]

Radio Broadcast on the Cause and Cure of War - June 5, 1933
June 5, 1933
When bands are playing, flags flying, and the soldier boys, amid cheers of the crowds, are marching away to war, there is an elemental query that should be uppermost in the sober reflection of all the people, but, for some unaccountable reason, from statesmen to shoe-black, it enter no man's thoughts. In time the bands play again, the flags fly, rejoicing crowds cheer, and the soldier boys march home. "The War is over" shout the people. "Our noble war is at an end" say the newspapers. "Blessings on our heroes" […]

Radio speech - Nov. 2, 1932
November 2, 1932
Herbert Hoover or Franklin Roosevelt will be elected our next President on November 8th. There is no other possibility. I hear men and women say that they do not approve of Hoover or Roosevelt nor their respective platforms; therefore, in protest, they propose to vote for a minor party candidate. They think they think. But I call such a conclusion a clear evasion of logic. There is nothing to be gained by throwing votes away. On the other hand, whoever is elected, will be strengthened and encouraged by every additional […]

Neutrality – Nov. 11, 1935
November 11, 2021
Broadcast - 5 to 5:15Monday, November 11thNational Broadcasting Company As written In the closing days of the last Congress a bill was passed, familiarly known as the Neutrality Bill. So much controversial debate took place in connection with it and such varied comments were made upon it by the press, that many of our citizens have a wholly false conception of the intention of the bill. There are those who suppose the measure declares our neutrality in the war now in progress between Italy and Ethiopia and that it is […]

A Message to the Home – undated, c. 1932
January 1, 1932
Probably a broadcast Abolish War There is a brand new idea in the world. It is so new that the generation before ours had never heard it expressed. Now, it is growing, spreading and fairly galloping over the entire world. It should bring a glad message to every home. It should make every father lighter hearted, every mother happier and all the children look forward to brighter prospects. And what is it? Great Nations propose that wars shall cease and permanent peace reign. "Make war impossible" is the new slogan. […]

President's Weekly Radio Address - Nov. 17, 2001
November 17, 2001
This address marked the first time that the first lady of the United States delivered the President's weekly radio address. Good morning. I'm Laura Bush, and I'm delivering this week's radio address to kick off a world-wide effort to focus on the brutality against women and children by the al-Qaida terrorist network and the regime it supports in Afghanistan, the Taliban. That regime is now in retreat across much of the country, and the people of Afghanistan -- especially women -- are rejoicing. Afghan women know, through hard experience, what […]

Talk for Community Chest over Radio in Washington, D.C. - 26 January 1929
January 26, 1929
Talk for Community Chest over Radio in Washington, D.C. Jan. 26, 1929. It seems too good to be true that we have at last adopted the Community Chest in Washington. We all know that there are welfare and other institutions in our midst which need help. It would be an unwarranted reflection upon the intelligence of a Radio audience to waste any time to prove that. When an individual or a city needs anything the sensible thing to do is to [st]udy the best way to get it. And that […]

Marianne Williamson on NHPR's The Exchange - April 17, 2019
April 17, 2019
KNOY: Our guest today is Marianne Williamson. She's a bestselling author and lecturer and now a Democratic presidential candidate. Williamson's campaign is based on the same themes that have brought her acclaim and financial success. For the past 30 years, she calls for a "moral and spiritual awakening" in this country and for a politics based on love, not fear. That ethic guides her positions on the issues. For example, Williamson says her economic policy would be 'capitalism with a conscience' and on national security she'd seek violence prevention establishing […]
