You can't just give a speech and expect people to fall down and agree with you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the areas I have a little less confidence in is giving any kind of a speech.
Trust me, I have never written a speech in my life, and if I have my way, I never will.
While the protection of speech is at the bedrock of our democracy, it's critical as a nation that we exercise our right every day - and that includes embracing and engaging with those we may not agree with.
I encourage people to find and use the power of their voices just as much when I do not agree with those voices as when I do agree with them.
The simple truth is that everyone has an opinion, everyone has the right to voice it, and they should if they want to.
When you make speeches you elicit expectations against which you will be held accountable.
For free-speech principles to be reinforced and free-market ideas to win the day, more people are going to have to stand up and be heard.
I always feel kind of absurd and presumptuous presenting a speech.
People want to hear what I have to say and respect what I say.
When you're standing in front of an audience like this that is so enthusiastic and so much behind you, it is very hard to give a bad speech. Even a bad speech sounds good in a convention hall like this.
