Remarks at 48th Munich Security Conference - Feb. 4, 2012
February 4, 2012
Thank you very much. This is a first, with both Secretary Panetta and I here together. But I think that it speaks volumes about the importance that we place on this conference, Wolfgang, and on the significance of the alliance that has grown so strong over the last 50 years. It is also a great personal pleasure for me to be back in Munich with so many colleagues and friends. I wish to thank one of them, my friend, the Foreign Minister, Westerwelle, for his important comments. And I also […]

Thank you. Thank you. Well, just standing here, looking out at all of you, the people I have been honored to serve and lead and work with over the last four years, is an incredible experience. When I came into this building as the secretary of state four years ago and received such a warm welcome, I knew there was something really special about this place, and that having the honor to lead the State Department and USAID would be unique and singular, exciting and challenging. It has been all […]

Human Rights Campaign Americans for Marriage Equality- March 18, 2013
March 18, 2013
A little over a year ago in Geneva, I told the nations of the world that gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights, and that the United States would be a leader in defending those rights. Now there were some countries that did not want to hear that. But I believe America is at its best when we champion the freedom and dignity of every human being. That's who we are. It's in our DNA. And as Secretary of State, I had the privilege to represent […]

To God be the glory. Don’t ever forget that God had His hand on this campaign from the day we announced to the day we humbly accept this nomination. There are a whole lot of people that I need to thank. I am going to forget some of them tonight, but you all know that I love you so charge it to my head and not my heart. I first have to apologize to Sean because he wrote me a fantastic speech. He wrote me two speeches. One was a […]

January 20, 2015
Good evening. I’m Joni Ernst. As a mother, a soldier, and a newly elected senator from the great State of Iowa, I am proud to speak with you tonight. A few moments ago, we heard the President lay out his vision for the year to come. Even if we may not always agree, it’s important to hear different points of view in this great country. We appreciate the President sharing his. Tonight though, rather than respond to a speech, I’d like to talk about your priorities. I’d like to have […]

Thank you Mr. President. And I am so honored to be here at the same time with my friend and a colleague whom I admire so much and have such great affection for -- the Vice President-elect Joe Biden.

And the way he evoked the Senate and the relationships that are developed here and the work that is done on behalf of our country was as good as I've […]

Stump Speech - April 8, 2010
April 8, 2010
I want to tell you a little bit about myself, and then we’ll go into why I’m running and then let you ask some questions because it’s more interesting to hear from you than it is from me. I was born and raised in the small town of Bamberg, which, if any of you know where that is, it is a small little town that you couldn’t think about doing something wrong without somebody already calling and telling your mom. It was a great place to grow up because we […]
