Free Republic

Other speakers Monday night will include Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), first lady Michelle Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is this year’s keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention, with a high-profile spot in front of a national audience going to one of the party’s top progressive voices. Warren is slated to take the stage Monday night, where the theme will be putting families first and highlighting Hillary Clinton’s lifelong work, according to a Clinton campaign official.

Radio’s Mark Levin will keynote a five-year anniversary event for the Tea Party movement hosted by Tea Party Patriots in Washington, D.C., Breitbart News has learned exclusively. “The Tea Party, which consists of millions of hard working taxpayers, is to be celebrated not condemned,” Levin told Breitbart News. “The ruling class must be trounced and its media cheerleaders must be exposed if the republic is to survive. The Tea Party is our only hope. It's a great honor to be asked to speak to such outstanding and courageous patriots,” he added. Levin, the host of The Mark Levin Show, served...

Glenn Beck's Speech to the NRA is in just a few minutes. Glenn Beck on Saturday was busy preparing for what he has called one of the most important speeches of his life. Saturday night he will deliver the keynote speech at the 2013 NRA Convention in Houston. TheBlaze takes you behind the scenes and gives you an insider look at how the man himself gets ready for such a big event:

I’m not kidding, this was amazing. Kamal Saleem, a former Lebanese Islamist terrorist, loves Jesus with much more enthusiasm than most Americans I know and he’s not afraid to show it. Not only that, but he sees what is going on in the Middle East and in this country right now and believes we have a duty to fight for this country. He is truly a patriot and you will be more than inspired by his amazing story. Being an outsider, he has an interesting perspective on our liberty and one of my favorite lines from his speech was when...

Chris Christie, the sometimes abrasive but always entertaining governor of New Jersey, is set to be announced Tuesday as the keynote speaker for the Republicans' national convention later this month. ***SNIP*** The scheduling decision was first reported online by USA Today early Tuesday and confirmed by Republican officials directly involved in convention planning. The Republican officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the formal announcement was not planned until later Tuesday. ***SNIP***

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will deliver the keynote address at next month's Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL. NBC News' Jamie Gangel reported Wednesday that Christie would be afforded the plum speaking slot at the convention, a gig that sometimes serves as a launching pad for political figures with ambitions of higher office. The selection of Christie, though, would seem to suggest that Christie is not likely the choice by Mitt Romney to serve as the GOP's vice presidential nominee. Typically, the keynote speaker is separate from the vice presidential nominee, who, like the presidential nominee, speaks on separate...

Even before it became clear that Mitt Romney would be the GOP presidential nominee, many wondered whether his most outspoken surrogate, Gov. Chris Christie, was angling for an invitation to run for vice president. But there’s another high-profile role that could exploit the Garden State governor’s talents and catapult him in the minds of Republican voters already surveying the 2016 field: keynote speaker at the GOP Convention in Tampa. Romney has given no hints about who he’ll recruit as a running mate or ask to deliver the plum prime-time address. And Christie’s camp won’t comment.

Washington - Gov. Scott Walker got a hero's reception Friday night at a banquet for conservative activists from around the country, where he declared that his defeat in a recall election this summer would be a lasting blow against political risk-taking. "Lord help us if we fail," he said. "I'm not planning on it, but if we were to fail, I think this sets aside any courageous act in American politics for at least a decade if not a generation." A featured speaker at the 39th annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Walker asked his dinner audience of roughly 1,000 to...

Protestors chanting "Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Cronyism has got to go!" marched during the lunch hour today in front of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Washington, D.C. headquarters. The marchers were protesting the appearance of General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt in the chamber's day-long conference on job creation, Jobs for America Summit. Immelt, who is chairman of President Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, was the event's keynoter. “We think it’s ludicrous and outrageous that Jeff Immelt should be speaking at a job summit when he is the leading corporate job killer in America,”

The jokes are already flying as Sarah Palin prepares to embark on a trip to India later this month, and more are surely to come. Will she rock a sari? Perhaps guest star in a Bollywood movie? Or bathe in the Ganges for a photo op? Palin has been invited to give the keynote address, "My Vision of America," at the two-day India Today conclave in New Delhi, an event hosted annually by the magazine since 2002. The March 18-19 event is sponsored by global business heavyweight Aditya Birla Group, a billion-dollar metals company, along with a bevy of industry...

Freshman Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) gave a speech to close this year's Conservative Political Action Conference that earned a more enthusiastic reaction from conservative activists than those given by most rumored 2012 presidential hopefuls over the past three days. The first-term congressman brought the audience to its feet several times late Saturday, repudiating President Obama's social and economic policies and promising "a new dawn in America." West took the coveted speaking slot that was rejected by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who declined to attend CPAC for the fourth straight year. West, who represents a district that voted for President...

I put Glenn's CPAC speech on YouTube, but it's in 6 parts- so I decided to combine them together into one video..let me know if you have any problems with the video. Watch The FULL Speech in ONE Video at http://www.watchglennbeck.com/CPAC2010

VIDEO: Conservative Libertarian best selling author, radio talk show host, and TV host Glenn Beck gives the keynote address at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), the nation’s largest gathering of conservatives annually. It is a project of ACUF (American Conservative Union Foundation) and its largest annual conference. To rousing applause and standing ovations, Beck attacked Progressivism as a "cancer", and said that the Republican Party must "admit that it has a problem".

When Sarah Palin delivered the keynote speech at the T.E.A. Party’s first national convention in Nashville last Saturday, she touched on many of the Obama administration’s policies which were delivered on the empty rhetoric of the “Hope and Change” campaign he ran last year. As she addressed the enthusiastic crowd of delegates by citing all of the President’s promises for “change” in how Washington politics would become the most transparent in the history of the republic, while eliminating all partisanship that had “gridlocked” the Beltway for so long, Palin reminded the American people that Obama’s administration, coupled with Congressional Democrats...

Sarah Palin's speech to the Tea Party convention in Nashville showcased all of the former Alaska governor's strengths. She was confident, funny, down-to-earth, at times emotional--and she took a scalpel to the Obama administration and congressional Democrats. Ignore the critics who will say Palin spent too much time looking at her notes; her off-the-cuff approach and decision not to use a TelePrompTer was clearly calculated to highlight President Obama's reliance on scripted events and canned speeches. The timing of the speech was also significant. Palin used the talk, broadcast live on Fox News Channel and C-SPAN, to respond to the...

Yes, I know, I am a tad late, but, as is policy, we don’t talk about Sarah Palin’s schedule unless Sarah or her spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, has verified that Sarah is indeed going somewhere. There are just too many flaky promoters using Sarah’s name to sell tickets, without a verification from Sarah, who then try to blame her when she doesn’t show at an event she had never committed to in the first place. So we are not going to help them with that scam. As we reported earlier, Sarah has almost 1100 invitations to speak at events, both paid...

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani will give the keynote address at the Republican National Convention next month and Democrat-turned-independent Sen. Joe Lieberman also will take center stage at the GOP gathering.

WASHINGTON - Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani will give the keynote address at the Republican National Convention next month and Democrat-turned-independent Sen. Joe Lieberman also will take center stage at the GOP gathering. John McCain's vanquished Republican primary rivals — and a slew of potential McCain running mates — also have speaking roles at the four-day gathering in St. Paul, Minn. President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, first lady Laura Bush, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lieberman, who was the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000 and is said to be under consideration for the same role with McCain,...

Reflecting new Democratic optimism about the South, former Virginia governor Mark R. Warner will keynote the party’s national convention in Denver two weeks from now.Warner appealed successfully to NASCAR Democrats in his election as governor, running strongly in rural areas and with working-class social conservatives. Warner, 53, briefly sought the Democratic presidential nomination but dropped out to pursue a U.S. Senate race against another former governor, Republican Jim Gilmore. Warner is far ahead in polls and fund-raising. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is targeting Virginia as a traditionally Republican state that he could turn blue this year. The resources his campaign...

I had a recurring dream this past weekend. I was sitting in Moscone Center, waiting for Steve Jobs to deliver his Macworld Expo keynote. The Apple CEO took the stage to a thunderous ovation and began a recitation of Apple’s past year—the success of the iPod, the release of Tiger, the forthcoming transition to Intel chips. And just as we’re getting to the point in the speech where Jobs traditionally starts rattling off the new products Apple plans on introducing, he looked right at me and said, “Well, that’s all I got for today…see you folks later.” He strode off...
