This edition of the Notable Speeches podcast features U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley's October 31 keynote address at the National Conservatism Conference in Orlando, Fla.

"America needs good men," the Missouri Republican said. "We need men who will shoulder responsibility, men who will start and provide for families, men who will enter the covenant of marriage and then honor it."  

He decried leftist attacks on "toxic masculinity" and argued that decades of "government policy has helped destroy the kind of economy that gave meaning to generations of men."
