The Visionary Villain and/or Villain with Good Publicity has their plan nearing completion, and is ready to take the helm and put their evil scheme in motion. Soon the world will be theirs! One thing left to do: Meet the press, and give them a speech.
Apparently your PR team want a bit of honesty in your affairs, or maybe it would just be more fun to not lie to your soon-to-be underlings. Either way, the trick is the New Era Speech: empty platitudes evoking "incredible changes", "putting things in motion", "a historic moment", "a future you could never imagine". The right words, the right environment and an upbeat inspiring tone, and you can make The End of the World as We Know It sound like the Dawn of an Era the populace will love you for. Remember that you want to win the people over to your side, so it's best not to spend too many words on transparent threats of violence against anybody with the insolence to oppose your glorious new regime.
As an added bonus, you can sneer at opposition as "old-fashioned" while you pander to the Black Shirts who have eagerly awaited your rise to power and completion of your "vision".
Someone who knows or can figure out your plan may be able to read between the lines of this, but in context, it can still sound inspiring. It's possible for someone to give one of these speeches accidentally before things Go Horribly Wrong.
If the villain believes in the ideals they propound, then they probably also believe that Utopia Justifies the Means. Other villains are far too selfishly cynical to qualify for that trope, however, and still other villains are "idealistic" after a fashion, but their vision has little in common with the positive values implicit in this kind of speech.
This trope may overlap with Motive Rant if the New Era Speech also serves to show why the villain committed bad acts.
Compare Sarcastic Confession, Just Between You and Me, Engineered Public Confession, Storyboarding the Apocalypse, and of course False Reassurance. Contrast Bastardly Speech. Do not confuse this with a genuine Dawn of an Era speech by the good guys: for that, see Rousing Speech. No relation to Future Slang.

Wolfram and Hart get a few in Angel: "Can we really change the world? We're counting on it."
And how could Jasmine, i.e. "Miss Utopia Justifies the Means Personified", have been complete without examples of this, like "I come to you not as a leader or divinity, but as your partner in a venture to make this the best of all possible worlds, without borders, without hunger, war, or misery. A world built on love, respect, understanding, and, well, just enjoying one another. Doesn't that sound nice?"

Tanz Der Vampire has an unusual example—the speech in question is delivered by one of the good guys (a pompous, ineffectual old windbag of a good guy, but a good guy nonetheless) as he grandly announces that the world is about to enter a new age of clarity of purpose, ruthlessly effective methodology, and above all, massive changes. He's oblivious to the evidence of his own failure right behind him—namely, that the girl he and his assistant tried to save from vampires is now a vampire herself, and she's just turned his assistant. He leaves in one direction, the young-lovers-turned-hungry-vampires leave in another, and the rest of the vampire chorus enter to show that change is indeed on the way...

Hugo Drax in Moonraker.

He doesn't know that Bond has reset the missile to its original target: the Soviet sub in the North Sea on which Drax is escaping.

Nathan does this twice in Heroes - and the second time, he really should have skipped it and just gone with "Hey y'all, watch this!"...
Sylar gets two of these, too Although both times he's masquerading as Nathan. The first time takes place in the future where he's managed to con his way into becoming President of the United States and is preparing to initiate a mass genocide against all other supers to eliminate the competition, the second time he's about to make a play for the Presidency (and through that, Total World Domination) and gives a big speech on national TV promising "you have no idea how much your world is about to change".

Brecht's play above has an inspiration from Richard III and Julius Caesar, both of which have proto examples of the New Era Speech. In the former, Richard starts out with a line about the (former) winter of our discontent being allayed by the "glorious son of York" (his brother), and thus hides his true intentions as a usurper behind a facade of family loyalty. In the latter, Mark Antony's funeral speech isn't necessarily misleading to the Roman mob, but it initially covers its true intent (to enrage the Roman mob and get them to slaughter Brutus and the other conspirators) and pretends to be conciliatory.

Naruto:
Akatsuki leader Pain pulled this on many of his recruits into his group. He promised them wealth, power, and control of the world while he was actually planning a massive Depopulation Bomb.
This was how Tobi gained Kisame's loyalty. Kisame hated the lies and betrayals of the shinobi world, wanting only to see a day when everything, even death, was honest.
When he later gave a similar speech to the Kages in an attempt to make the final steps of his plan go smoother, they rejected him flat-out; and Naruto called him on bullshitting the entire thing. Tobi chuckled and agreed.

In Half-Life 2, Dr. Breen's speeches — both to the public and to Gordon personally — are chock-full of empty promises of some sort of "future" that he never actually describes or defines, save for vague insinuations that it would be idyllic and transcendent in some way. Whether or not he really believes what he's saying is never made clear.

Loved and Lost:
After helping Twilight Sparkle stop the Changeling invasion, Prince Jewelius delivers one to the still-shaken citizens of Canterlot, publically calling out the heroes (sans Twilight) for their canon mistakes and vowing to make things right. Thanks to the invasion being fresh in everyone's mind and the heroes' failed escape attempt making them look as guilty as they're accused of being, Jewelius succeeds in obtaining the throne and turning the public (and later Twilight) against the heroes.
He gives another one in the 12th chapter in response to Fluttershy asking Canterlot's citizens who will raise the sun if they go through with executing Celestia, claiming that his reign will make Equestria strong enough to take care of itself without the alicorns or the Elements of Harmony. The speech successfully renews the citizens' resolve to have Celestia hanged, and it requires a heartwrenching apology speech from Celestia (who has out of guilt decided to let herself be hanged) before the citizens (as well as Twilight) make a 180.

Azami Nakiri in Food Wars! gives one of these when he's named the new Principal of Tootsuki (after he gets his father-in-law ousted from the position). He announces his intent to dissolve every club, society and organization in the academy, and create a single organization named Central that will control everything with the Council of Ten dictating what will be taught. Naturally this causes an outrage among the student body, but he quickly calms them down appealing to the fact that the current meritocratic system is unfair to those who are unable to fulfill the academy's high standards, managing to win over a lot of students on the promise that the skills, recipes and ideas of the members of the council will be available for them.

Played with, subverted, and lampshaded in Rick and Morty, after Evil Morty is elected the new leader of The Citadel and purges the members of The Omniscient Council of Vagueness that thought they could control him, along with anyone else in The Citadel that stood in his way. He considers making such a speech and even gives one to himself, before deciding not to.

Near the end of Gadget: Past as Future, the player character is subjected to the hypnotizing beams of the Sensorama device one last time, where he's shown what may be a flashback of the setting's dictator, Paulo Orlovsky, proclaiming how he wishes to use the Sensorama to nip would-be revolutionaries in the bud and bathe the entire population in the Sensorama so that they will only be loyal to him because a war is coming, and that the player character is one of the guinea pigs, although unbeknownst to Orlovsky, the scientists working for him changed the Sensorama so that the player character would follow them instead.

The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui by Bertolt Brecht (who collaborated with Kurt Weill) is Brecht's Roman à Clef for Hitler's rise to power, set in this case in Gangsterland Chicago. Ui actually takes rhetoric classes from a washed-up Shakespearean actor, which he puts to use at the end of the play, in a speech following his gaining a chokehold on Chicago and betraying many of his allies. The speech is about how he is working to fix Chicago, but cities across America need his help too, and he will "protect them". This speech, especially the ending references a quote attributed to Hitler regarding his intentions, "Today Poland/Europe; tomorrow the world!"

Several James Bond villains have done it.
Gustav Graves in Die Another Day: "You have no idea how much Icarus is going to change your world!" The composer does, though — cue Ominous Chanting...
Hugo Drax in Moonraker.
Karl Stromberg in The Spy Who Loved Me.
Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies. Bonus points for including the phrase "new world order".

Exalted: The Scarlet Empress, after having hashed out plans for the future of the world she saved with Chejop Kejak, gave a speech declaring herself savior of the world, defeater of The Fair Folk and that in return she would have the obedience of the people with which to create a new Realm. Particularly notable for her using the Sword of Creation to project images of this proclamation to every settlement on the Blessed Isle.

Speer Und Er: Speer is first drawn to Hitler by a calm, passionate, erudite speech he gives to a crowd of university graduates about Germany's future. This is Truth in Television: Hitler is often portrayed in popular culture as a raving madman during his speeches, but the reason he was such a charismatic public speaker was because he would only get into Milking the Giant Cow mode towards the very end of an hour-long political monologue. He would always start slow to acclimate his audience or tailor to the crowd.

Godzilla: New Era: Commander Aso of G-Force gives a rare heroic example after the demise of the second Godzilla. It's an obvious PR move to try and give the scared humanity assurance that the plague of kaiju that had been afflicting the world since 1984 is finally over, and that mankind's dominion was assured. And then a third Godzilla arises...

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Played for laughs at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), where Ronan starts a pretty hammy speech in front of a fearful crowd he's about to slaughter. He gets interrupted by the hero challenging him to a dance-off.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania: Kang gives one of these to his troops (and by extension his whole realm) at the climax, boasting how they will now escape the Quantum Realm and conquer the Multiverse... only for his broadcast to get hijacked by Cassie, who uses it to give a Rousing Speech that inspires the general population to join La Résistance in an uprising against Kang, kicking off the Final Battle.

X-Men: Apocalypse:
The eponymous villain's declaration, "EVERYTHING THEY'VE BUILT WILL FALL!!! AND FROM THE ASHES OF THEIR WORLD, WE'LL BUILD A BETTER ONE!"
Thanks to Xavier's powers, Apocalypse sends his own to all the people in the world about how he'll tear down everything that humanity has ever built in order to usher in a new world order. Charles changes the ending to "those with the greatest power, protect those without."

Played with in Continuum. In 3x13 "Last Minute", it looks like Green Alec's keynote speech is going to be one of these, but he's interrupted less than twenty seconds in by Lucas hacking his video feed to broadcast Travis. Piron manages to shut down Travis after about twenty seconds, Alec offers a quip, and it looks like the speech is going to get back on track, but then Garza fires two warning shots from a balcony above the audience and everything goes to hell.

The Lord of the Rings:
Saruman gives such a speech directly and personally to Gandalf in the book urging him to surrender to Sauron, "deploring maybe evils done by the way, but approving the high and ultimate purpose: Knowledge, Rule, Order...." Gandalf's response indicates that Sauron's emissaries are also known for them.
Sauron's entreaty to the Elves of Eregion to create the Rings of Power also qualifies.

In Knickerbocker Holiday, Stuyvesant, upon becoming governor of New Amsterdam, makes a magnificently hypocritical speech, promising freedom of coercion to everyone so long as they do just as they are told and guaranteeing enough for every person to live on "unless it be my personal opinion that he is not worthy to live." The speech culminates in a Villain Song inaugurating "an age of strength through joy." (Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson wrote the show in 1938, and took liberties with 17th-century history so they could issue thinly-veiled warnings about a contemporary threat to democracy.)

Saruman in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers gives his Uruk-Hai a speech like this.
In the book, this line is part of a conversation Gandalf and Saruman are having when Gandalf realizes Saruman has turned to evil; Saruman isn't delivering it as a speech, but Gandalf does note that it sounds like the speeches given by the minions of Sauron.

Colonel and General's speech to Repliforce in Mega Man X4. While General's speech is more of this trope, Colonel's speech following General's is more of a Rousing Speech.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy VII: Rufus' speech after he becomes the new president of Shinra Inc.:
Final Fantasy VIII: Sorceress Edea, with the atypical twist that Edea is completely up-front about her villainous intentions and, rather than couching the speech in vague platitudes, lays into the crowd, calling them "lowlifes" and "shameless filthy wretches" for cheering her, and murdering the President of Galbadia right there at the podium. In this case, however, it is strongly implied - though not outright stated - that she's using some sort of large-scale mind control on the crowd.

Starting out with humorous commentary on how humanity has benefited from technology, he comments on how the Ancient Greeks would view modern humans as gods if they witnessed our technological advancement, and asserts that Self-Directed Evolution is not only a choice; it is a human right.

Daimon Kiyota concludes Issue 11 of The Secret World with one of these - though only Dragon players get to see it. Of course, given Kiyota's propensity for 1920s slang, it's a bit more eccentric than most, but there's no denying that he definitely earned the right to wax grandiose after the events of the issue: to whit, Kiyota has forged a temporary peace between the Jingu Clan and the House-In-Exile and gotten the upper hand over all other factions in Tokyo - and he's been selected to replace Bong Cha as the Voice of the Dragon, signifying a major change in approach for the Dragon as a whole.

Doctor Who:
"The Pirate Planet": The Captain would announce a "New Golden Age of Prosperity" every time the artificial planet Zanak would materialize around a new planet that it would plunder.
"Doomsday": The Cyber-Leader tells the head of Torchwood to contact the "central world authority" and order a global surrender. When told no such authority exists, he smugly declares that it does now, and broadcasts his speech to the world.
The Cult of Skaro actually make this kind of speech in "Evolution of the Daleks". They refer to the Human-Dalek hybridization process as the dawn of a new age, at least until they decide it contradicts the Dalek imperative and kill a transformed Dalek Sec.
Mr. Saxon's victory speech in "The Sound of Drums". Bonus points for the punchline: "What this country really needs... right now... is a Doctor."
"Spyfall": Corrupt Corporate Executive Daniel Barton's speech at his alleged "new tech rollout" press conference is clearly intended as this, as he announces that he and his allies plan to turn the majority of humanity into comatose living hard drives. However, Barton is forced to flee the scene instead when the Doctor stops the plot.
In spinoff Torchwood: Miracle Day, Oswald Danes gives so many New Era Speeches he becomes thought of as the One True Voice of the New Era in question. Interestingly, however, he himself is not responsible for Miracle Day, he's just getting paid by whoever is and making the most of it. As an aside, Danes also gives the odd Bastardly Speech as well. He's just one big evil PR man.

On the December 15, 1997 Raw, Vince McMahon delivered a huge promo where, invoking USA Network's slogan of the time "The Cure for the Common Show," he said, "The WWF extends far beyond the strict confines of sports presentation into the wide open environment of broad based entertainment," effectively proclaiming the beginning of the Attitude Era, though not using those specific words. He proceeded to compare Raw to Jerry Springer, King of the Hill, Days of Our Lives, and Seinfeld. Then came the big Wham Line, as Vince drew a clear line in the sand between the company's past and its present and future:
Cue the legendary Attitude Era.

These were frequent enough in TNA for their occurrence to be a running joke to fans. As ratings and business in general were increasingly on the skids, it seemed either Dixie Carter, or Eric Bischoff, or Hulk Hogan, or Dixie Carter would come out and give a speech about how everything USED to suck (great endorsement of their own product there) and that things were going to drastically change for the better and business would then be booming. Neither of those things ever happened. Which ultimately caused Dixie to sell TNA, which lead the new ownership to giving speeches about how it was a new era and everything was going to be better and not the same old bullshit. Which, in true TNA fashion, turned out to be mostly crap.

Kurtz's treatise on the colonial spirit in Heart of Darkness ends up being one of these. It's a whole dissertation on colonialism as a noble ideal, the White Man's Burden, etc., and it concludes with a line written much later (by the now insane Kurtz) that Character Narrator Marlow sarcastically describes as the strategy for implementing this soaring language. It is "Exterminate the Brutes!"

X-Men: Apocalypse:
The eponymous villain's declaration, "EVERYTHING THEY'VE BUILT WILL FALL!!! AND FROM THE ASHES OF THEIR WORLD, WE'LL BUILD A BETTER ONE!"
Thanks to Xavier's powers, Apocalypse sends his own to all the people in the world about how he'll tear down everything that humanity has ever built in order to usher in a new world order. Charles changes the ending to "those with the greatest power, protect those without."

In Sabrina the Teenage Witch, as Salem was being hauled away by the police, he protested that his group was a "non-profit organization" that "[met] to discuss new ways of thinking". In reality it was a supremacist cabal that actively plotted to overthrow the Council and turn mortals into second-class citizens.

In the OVA Giant Robo: The Day The Earth Stood Still, the first flashback to "The Tragedy of Bashtarlle" has a speech by Dr. Franken Von Fogler that establishes the Mad Scientist reputation he enjoys during the story. But all is not as it seems...

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Bruno Giovanni delivers one of these to his extended family of vampires, ghouls and mortals. It's difficult to hear, given that it takes place behind a locked door that you're not allowed past unless you're prepared to kill the bodyguards, but if you're willing to listen carefully, it does explain why the Giovanni wanted the Ankaran Sarcophagus in the first place.

Transformers: Beast Wars' Megatron loved to give new era speeches, yes. Whether the occasion was finding an alien artifact, raising the most powerful ship in Transformer history or altering time itself, he was never without a grand speech to go along with it, oh no.

Early in the live action adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin, this kind of speech is delivered at the beginning of the Meiji era by an imperial army commander to his westernized army. Interestingly enough, the guy wasn't a villain, and he was also speaking the truth, as a new era had just begun.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon: In "Deux Amours", Genet holds a rally for supporters of her populist movement "The Cause", telling the assembled crowds that with most of post-Zombie Apocalypse France now under her control, she's announcing the birth of the Sixth Republic. She declares that it will be an egalitarian society where the people will have control of things, conveniently avoiding the topic of how she alone will be the absolute ruler of this new nation.
