History is full of many important and inspiring speeches, and writers are quite often fond of quoting them. For millennia, the voices of those speeches were limited to the words on pages or the voices of those who read them aloud. With the coming of the modern age, the ability to record not only the text of a speech, but also the voice in which it was given has emerged. Not just a re-enactor reading the speech, the actual original recording.
This gives creators the option of clipping parts of those speeches and dropping them into their works (at least ones that have a soundtrack). Needless to say, none of these examples can be Older Than Radio.
The reasons for doing this are many and varied, depending on the work or the speech in question. In historical works, a speech contemporary to the period would only be natural. In other cases the speech could be from the past but be topical to the subject of the work.
John F. Kennedy seems to be a particular favorite.

Police Quest 4: Open Season: The floppy version has one of Adolf Hitler's speeches playing in Dennis Walker's house, since he is a Neo-Nazi member of the Aryan Brotherhood. It has been removed from the CD version, even though a much more spacious CD would have less problems with storing audio, though this is presumably because the characters speak and it wouldn't want the audio to clash.

Pan Am: The episode "Ich Bin Ein Berliner" is set on the day JFK travels to Berlin to give the eponymous speech. While the action follows the main characters, they are at times close enough to hear snippets of it, using clips of the actual speech, while Kennedy himself is never actually seen.

The Simpsons:
In "Worst Episode Ever", Homer eats some expired baking soda and goes on an "antacid trip" that takes his taste buds back. The ensuring hallucination features audio from Johnnie Cochran's "If it doesn't fit..." defense from the O. J. Simpson trial, President Nixon's resignation speech, and Neil Armstrong's "One small step for man..." quote.
In "Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts", Superintendent Chalmers plays a wax cylinder recording of a speech by Theodore Roosevelt (who actually receives a guest star credit).

Contact opens with a long shot pulling away from Earth into deep space while audio representing radio transmissions are heard going from newest (at the time) to oldest as we move further away. Amid the period music and television audio are snippets of some of the landmark speeches from various time periods, including:
Audio from the Challenger disaster
Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook" statement
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech
JFK's first inaugural address
The "Day of Infamy" speech
Hitler's remarks at the Berlin Olympics (which becomes more significant later in the film)

Midway (2019): The mood is set in the opening by a recording of FDR's so-called "quarantine" speech, in which he speaks of the need to hem in the growing waves of totalitarianism rising in nations around the world. After the Pearl Harbor attack, Admiral Yamamoto is shown listening to Roosevelt's "Day of Infamy" speech on the radio.

The teaser trailer for the fourth season of the The Crown (2016), which focuses on Prince Charles's nuptials to Diana Spencer, is overlaid with the real speech given by Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie at the wedding. The speech's emphasis on Happily Ever After is juxtaposed with less-than-ideal scenes behind the curtain.

Margin for Error, near the end of the first act, has the characters being treated to, or rather enduring, a radio speech from "the Awful, Awful Voice of Hitler... hysterical, guttural, hideously sure and hard and loud." This obviously can be represented by a recording of one of Hitler's actual speeches, though its particular subject doesn't matter; all that really matters is that the German Consul, who wanted to hear it more than anyone else in his room, is murdered before it ends.
