2:46:23 That's fucking prescient, Hitchens lived a little bit longer than 1 year after this interview, but Kissinger did make it to 100 years old before he died. What a shame on both counts

Had a pleasant day at work lady coworker said thank u kindly sir and asked if my tattoos hurt

Girl asked if my tattoos hurt. I shouldve said yes, but i like the pain. Lol.

Hitch should never be forgotten! Giant of a man

Such a great man and way ahead of his time

2:10:19 Interesting to hear him describe his lack of enthusiasm for any candidate and say that he's unlikely to vote in the upcoming election. He later talked about his pleasure at voting for Obama and how impressive a candidate he was. I wonder when his mind was changed.

Depth ?

Hitchens’s raw and clearly spoken honesty in all things was a one of a kind. Long after his death I am still learning from him. Thankfully we still have Sam Harris, but Sam lacks the cutting humor and literary expansiveness of Hitchens. I also relate to his dislike of the title of “contrarian.” I think he was trying to say his views may be contrary to those held by most others, but this is not his intent-this just happens to be the case and he just happens to be vocal about those views.

George Washington the pro-slaver was not a friend of Thomas, at best he was neutral

Lil baby Hitch

Zinger at 44:33 ... ha!

He saw through Putin very early.

Christ incarnate.

Anyone watching recently?

Something in the description of this video about the Hitch is totally wrong and misrepresents him. “The September 11, 2001 attacks strengthened his embrace of an interventionist foreign policy”. This is not true at all, he had been for removing Saddam Hussein from power many years before 9/11 and he was in solidarity with the Iraqi opposition, particularly the Kurds. What 9/11 made him realize is that we were in a war with jihadists that most of us didn’t know we were fighting until that horrible day

The sheer joy at finding a ‘ Hitchens Thing’ that you haven’t listened to when you convince yourself that you’ve exhausted his online content…. It made my daily commute to and from work so much more enjoyable. Mr Hitchens thank you for all of your common sense and superb articulation ❤️

For the question at 14:00 minutes in: In addition to Pres. Clinton's ill fated Sudan strike, one of the most striking failures of the Clinton Administration was the continued use, funding and support of networks affiliated with, either financially or logistically or politically, a burgeoning Al-Qaeda network, during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990's. Particularly, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) -- one of the principle recipients of CIA & DOD largess, training, and weapons -- had discreet ties with Al Qaeda in the form of Ayaman Al Zawahiri, who during the slaughter by the Serbs of Bosnian and Croatian civilians, capitalized on the previous relationship the US had with Al Qaeda during the Afghan-Soviet War supporting the Arab-Afghan legion of fighters coming in from all over the Middle East and diluting the original indigenous resistance movement. During the 90's, Zawahiri is reported to have traveled to Bosnia in order to lead various Special Operations Elements within the KLA. This leads us down a rabbit hole, but even after the '83 Beirut Barracks Bombings, the '93 WTC Bombings, the '96 NY Landmarks "Day of Terror" Plot, and the '98 Kenya and Tanzania Embassy Bombings, the US Govt demonstrated a continued relationship with dangerous Jihadist elements throughout the US (Al-Khifa Center & Maktab Al Khidimat National Arab Afghan Volunteer Recruitment Network) and Middle East into the 1990's as Al Qaeda began to spread and openly declare their hatred and jihad against the United States. One interesting connection that surfaced and illuminated this continued relationship was Egyptian double agent, Ali Mohammed. Worked for CIA, FBI, and US Army, took US Army leave in 1981 (while on a Egyptian-US military partnership training program at Ft. Bragg) to go fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, trained 2 of the hijackers in airplane hijacking techniques (Nawaf Al Hamzi & Khalid Al Midhar), provided surveillance photos to Bin Laden in early 90's which was used to carry out the '98 embassy bombings, was the source for the Aug 2001 President's Daily Brief "Bin Laden Determined to Strike the US", and continued to be on US Govt payroll up until 2001, when he was detained and interrogated by George Cloonan of the FBI. I have not been able to find any updated information on Ali Mohammed, but he is almost certainly in witness protection.

Good points... with insidious anti-Christian drivel mixed in

26:58 "...that KGB goon and thug Vladimir Putin..." Hitch had the true measure of him long before most of the rest of us.

The callers who support the Clintons are a perfect representation of the collective brainpower present in the democratic party of today. Seems as things change, the more they stay the same.

total ignorance of the Founding Fathers and their spiritualism

As ive watched a lot and a lot of footage of ww2, its pretty undeniable there were extermination and concentration camps..

34:50

God the father God the son Jesus Christ God the Holy Spirit! I am pray for this world! Heaven is real Hell is real which one u gon choose! Amen

2:46:24 this one hurt 😢

As an atheist (as I am), Hitchens seems to have a lot of time for the Israeli state. Zionism? I wonder if he were alive now what he'd think about the current goings on in Gaza. There's an inconsistency.

Has anybody else noticed, that throughout this discussion, Christopher Hitchens is framed in camera in a very awkward position? What i mean is the rule of thirds concept of framing someone in a shot. William Buckley and that idiot Emmett Tyrrell are framed just right in the thirds rule, but the camera angle on Christopher looks awkward. I wonder if because he was a liberal (i hate the term, but for arguments sake) and the other 2 are conservative, this was an intentional ploy in the hands of the producers and director? Just a running thought, not seeking an argument. Fantastic example of someone being ripped to shreds intellectually. RIP Hitch

Hitch (not sure if u can hear me),M8 I've followed + loved your wit + how you've destroyed your opponents in religious debates with your intelligence for years. But I honestly believe that you have sold out to the "american establishment + the zionists ", m8 look back on who you were - and who you come across as now.

Nature is my god, it's bounty is my love and conscience, & science my religion. By....I don't remember who.☺️

First: who can claim to be sinless or have the power to be with God for eternity without God's intervention? Second,:"For all care l can go to hell."Wish granted .

What was the outcome of the final ballot?

“Almost certainly a rapist” 😂😂

It’s clear that Peter Hitchin was a Communist who was intent on spreading poisonous lies. Look at South Africa now in 2024, a failed state thanks to his Communist buddies, the ANC.

Chris had a real wake up call when he made his pilgrimage to Havana and realized how wrong he had been about the Marxist Utopia he had previously fawning over so much

I admire Hitch’s ability to stay calm, measured, and on-point. He’s unflappable…makes him a force to be reckoned with. I miss you Hitch! ❤

The fella in the blue suit , is Dan the High Talker from Seinfeld

We Trump supporters need to be careful getting too cocky( as they were here in 1984) when he wins this election. We will not be witnessing a conservative renaissance. The left will be extremely fired up and likely take it back in 2028. There will be no more Trump's. He was one of a kind.

that cough. 😢

This guy was a fat sack of nothing. Having issues with Mother Teresa? I noticed he didn't have the sack to debate her because she would have destroyed him. He hated her because she wanted to eliminate unborn child slaughter and contraception. He believed that those two evil acts would reduce the poor. In other words he wants the government, of course, to sterilize the destitute, slaughter any babies that happened to make it through, and then once that's completed just sit back and let the poor die off. This is how he means to decrease the surplus population. That's demonic.

that cheeky look on Christopher’s face. ❤

Tyrell is a dope.

When he died I wept. We lost something. Cannot be replaced. In the intervening years I have only cried two other times. I cannot put into words what he did for my life.

lord he was so brilliant

4:32

Watching these videos and trying to educate yourself further can cost u your life in modern "society".

I love rewatching this but two thoughts keep coming back to me. First is Hitchens stand on the war in Iraq. I think it’s been established and confirmed that the war was a boondoggle, that the Bush Jr. administration repeatedly lied to the public in the build up and throughout the war. And yet knowing this and denouncing Bush and all his warmongering cronies multiple times he was still in lockstep with them. And while I completely agree that we could never appease Muslim fanaticism, to not acknowledge at all that Americas entanglements in the Middle East contribute to the overall dislike of the west is just not being honest. It’s the only thing I ever heard Hitchens say I took a little exception to. And the second thing is the host of the show. Why does his head look comically small sitting on top of his head? It’s a little distracting to me, especially when they are shown in profile. lol.

Would have been great on Rogan

Hitchens had some weird fixations, like attacking Mother Teresa. He liked being a contrarian, that was a big part of who he was. And he was a Marxist, which explains the rationale behind a lot of the people he attacked.

That "two cheeks of the same arse" line that George Galloway has made hay with for three decades - turns out it belongs to his arch rival! 16:07
