Well, since you're talking about speeches, I'd say that, ironically, I'd probably use a rhetorical question, such as the one that it looks like the article you read posed.
I suppose I would pose an interesting question or present an interesting situation that was relevant to the topic I was speaking about.

State an open question that is thought stimulating, that people can relate to, or debatible. An arguementitive statement can catch attention as well. Like for example: "I believe that only certain people should only be granted freedom..."
Or just start performing "The Charleston"

Hey, I've kinda imagined this, actually. If I can get within earshot of the President, like if he is waving at a crowd or something, I would definitely yell out this: "Mr. President! Why would the government hide information about alien aircraft?" Or, "Is the government hiding information about alien aircraft?"
LOL if it is true, then that would get him to think, and he would probably at least look in my direction. If it isn't, well, he would probably say in his mind, "What a lunatic..."

I would figure out something to say that would be shocking to them. Perhaps the truth about something they all falsely believe.
It really depends on the audience and why they came to hear you, too.

How, high are you? If they didn't catch it or notice, I'd try "Wipe your a*s*s me for, cowshit I know! One Love People.
