Hitchens always had a way with words, listening to him is like drinking water after eons in the desert.

I thought I had heard every narration of Book 1, Chapter 1 on YT, but this was by far the best.

😂 they dont drink because the glass hits the bridge of their nose. That and the tab..I know that old joke 😂

I love this audiobook.

I wonder what Christopher Hitchens would say about today's Republican Party that has become a true clown act with the brainless Trump as their now permanent leader.

I had to install new ears to hear this

Billy Graham preached the Word Of God from the Bible & was never shy with these so-called intelligent men he could hold his own!

How cold hearted do you have to be that you don’t care enough to be around for your two year old

"We all know that I stabbed my wife." Nice line.

He was always a bit better than the country he represented.

An effortless take down of Rand Libertarians

Oh my god. They should've just kissed and gotten it over with already...

Wonderful! I had forgotten about Denis Wholey. I much prefer him to Charlie Rose. And Gore Vidal? Irreplaceable!

First and last person to have ever brought up Daniel De Leon in the past 30 years.

HN stoned. Power to the people? Sppkesman: he, HN, is out of his depth. U going to be questioned, y question the question? HN u remind me of our VP. HAHAHA!

So much history .... truth..... facts....in his recall...

Now, what kind of sex are we talking about here?! I think that's the one question everybody's asking at this point.

Handsome young man Hitchens. With a voice like Orson Welles

Reagan was an average president of 20th cen., not too good, not too bad. Much better than Wilson and FDR but much worse than W. Harding. His main feature was bla-bla-blaing about virtues of free market, but his socialistic policy never matched his pro-capitalistic rhetorics.

Americans spoke beautifully then, the accents I mean, but then I'm British so not qualified to judge. William F Buckley too spoke like no American now does.

Amazing video 🎉.

Republicans are INCAPABLE of telling the truth. They lie every chance they get to perpetuate their dishonest agenda. Hitchens skewered this dishonest Republican. Reagan was the worst president in history. His presidency was the most corrupt one in history with a record number of indictments and imprisonments. Reagan destroyed the middle class. But republicans will still worship him like a god because they have to prop up sociopaths with lies. They’re doing the same thing with Trump. They worship Trump now even though he’s a psychopathic murderer, liar, misogynist, fraud, imbecile and mentally ill. Republicans are incapable of telling the truth. That includes ALL of them.

6:18 SPot o about Reagan and Todays republican is still mimicking the same show over and over again

What was the remark about shaking down McDonald's managers about? Just elitism regarding small dollar donations or something else?

South africa advanced ?

Gore Vidal was a paedo so let’s not big him up in the comments

Hitch was a good atheist. Too bad he was a socialist.

Rand followers talk about being self reliant, but when they are of age they will expect there medicare, these peopl expect the roads to be maintained, there fire department to be there when there is an emergency, there police to be them.

My best guess is they parted ways when the Iraq War started. Hitchens was for the war. Vidal would never have been pro-war. Hitchens had good reasons why he was pro-Iraq war. Vidal was an idealist & probably didn't make any exceptions.

If anyone is curious where the divergence began and what became of the twos relationship, Hitchens goes over it in an piece called "Vidal Loca"

Critic of all. Accomplishments none

Frum is a liar....he went to the states to grift.... Doesnt work up here

Reagan member of Bohemain Grove and his filthy Reaganomics destroyed the energy industry out west. Greasy voiced bastard scum of Satan puppet of #322 Skull & Bonesman George HW Bush Sr all those years

Hi how are you

Hitchens was a smart man with many solid opinions, but his take on foreign leaders was hypocritical considering he praised George Bush for the invasion of Iraq.

Whether or not You agreed with Hitchens, You were always well served listening to him.

Gore Vidal is a man ruled by his little head rather than his big head.

Where’s the audio??

Reagan is now our greatest President ever . He won the cold war , eliminated several nuclear weapons and is the President of Peace . Hitchens was a liar who came to our country and made a good living , then , like the Beatles in the 1960s , showed contempt for our country by lying about our great Presidents and Pastors . Ronald Reagan and Jerry Falwell Sr . are two of our greatest Americans as Mr . Falwell attempted to protect our precious women by standing up to the pervert Larry Flynt , Hustler magazine and the extreme x - rated porn industry which totally degrades women and has no value in our society . Jesus is the truth and he is alive today and Hitchens is dead . Darwin and his psuedo science lies are dead . Barbarians Hitler , Stalin , Marx , Darwin , John Lennon , Madalyn Murray O'Hair and Hitchens are dead .

To be fair Hitchens you were some what of a drunk yourself.

"Bush is a civilized man." He's a barbaric murders.

Why would Christopher waste his time on her?

He's half pissed, but plenty of room left haha. Good to see him a bit boozy and still coherent as hell.

The ability of people to delude themselves is incredible. I wish there was a god so that there, however slight, would be a chance to get Mr Hitchens back.

The world lost a lot when Chris Hitch went to his eternal reward

Date of recording?

Huey Newton was a government operative. An agent. A made up character put into place, by white supremacists, to brainwash, deceive and lie to black and white people. His name was not real either. It was fake. The initials 'HN' equal 13. One of the Illuminati's favorite numbers. H is 8 and N is 5. Him being the 7th child born to his parents. It's all made up. Seven is another one of their favorite numbers. Occultic numerology, which is coding, is utilized to place a demonic stamp on such puppets of this beast system. Color of skin matters not when it comes to "EVIL'!

The United States never broke away from England. The Royal Family owns the United States to this very day. The United States is not a country. Never has been. It is a corporation. A business. Just like Walmart, the National Football League, Citibank, etc.

Reagan was certainly the greatest president of my lifetime for sure. You can't take Hitchens too seriously, he is an atheist as well.

Oil oil oil. Us exploits other states under the pretext of protecting their people and bringing them democracy
