Seeing a new video of hitchens makes me feel like I've hit the lottery. It's like a very rare piece of art. I am forever grateful for people that post these videos.
@@Wipeout2806 Same! This conversation took place 6/2010, a bit over 11 years ago; it wasn’t posted until 4/2020, a bit over a year ago; and seen by me only two days after you commented. Extraordinary.
Sincerest thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Mr. Hitchens was not only an outstanding intellectual, but a kind gentleman, as his closest friends would attest. He will always be missed by all people who embrace free inquiry, freedom of speech, and logical, defensible, reasonable thought and all resulting questions. Go Hitch! 💚

Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated”-- Christopher Hitchens Now, look at what biblical faith really means that Hitch the liar didn't even look at: Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.

Thanks for this, unseen and previously unavailable Hitchens content is very welcome. I've watched just about all Hitchens content on YT, so thanks again.
I am a Presbyterian minister who misses Hitch greatly. I'm not the only minister who does. A dazzling orator -- a singular voice, really -- who made us think. I appreciated his challenges. I am a better pastor because of Hitch. Gone too soon.
@@matthewyoung6759 Got to commend you on your intellectual honesty. Of all the critics of religion I'd say Hitch had the deepest and broadest understanding of it and its history. Good to know that there are those within religion who valued his contribution.

@@2fast2block Your own definition of Faith is immediately wrong, great attempt though. I must define the deference between faith and belief as it seems you don't know. Belief is based on evidence, where as faith is based on emotions. So when you say "Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen." your are wrong twice. All of your links are blocked. Biogenesis is for life from preexisting, not the origin. The universe is not winding down, it is actually accelerating in expansion. Your "proof" for the proposition of a supernatural creator is a non sequitur, and even if I give you that point then who created the creator? Good attempt, keep reading!
@@DaHoKilla you failed to show what I gave on biblical faith is incorrect. Your blah blah with NO evidence doesn't count. It was the same thing with all you gave, blah blah. Now, if you gave evidence that biblical faith did indeed hold up that it had nothing to do with what was seen, or how the 1st and 2nd laws were actually not laws because they failed, then that would be something else. As it stands, you're just an utter failure. You actually think you defeated the laws including the law of biogenesis. You''re NO thinker. Asking how God was created makes no sense. Clearly, creation had to be done by a supernatural creator. A supernatural who created the natural realm of time, space, and matter, along with the natural laws that govern nature, is not bound by the natural laws the supernatural creator created. That's basic logic but not if people are NOT logical.

I always feel like I am in 'great' company when listening to this man. Thankfully there is a whole library of 'The Hitch', and his unique mind and intellect on You Tube, for all to be tickled, pissed off, or enlightened. Miss you Hitch.
This wonderful piece had me almost in tears towards the end; tinged as it must be by the knowledge of what was to come. What an incomparable loss to humanity and to humanism. His tutelage over the years; too late for me to truly appreciate him in his lifetime, introduced me to the free thinkers. Paine, Spinoza, Jefferson, Harris et al. Such a loss. But he himself would not allow anyone to wallow in said loss. Revel instead. Revel in the joy and beauty facilitated by his thoughts and his writings. If I pass on one thing only to my children, it shall be The Hitch. And I shall have done my work.

You see? You have created a prophet - albeit of minuscule stature; misguided; and, short lived. It's not hard. What is hard is to be an orator that casts a message that lasts for hundreds of years or even rarer thousands of years. That requires more than just a spoiled, unruly, iconoclast.
This is very special. Hitch has a plethora of brilliant debates, often repeating his ‘greatest hits’ on line but this is different. His humour and brilliance are dazzlingly on display here. A wonderful mind, and one of the most important writers and thinkers of the last 50 years. I’ve never loved someone I’ve never met more. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a recent fan of Hitch. Not because I didn't know of his existence, but of the lack of my abilities to acknowledge and comprehend his brilliance. My solace is in this and the other videos so generously shared. Thank You

Whether you agree or otherwise with anything he expresses, I cannot help but wonder whether such a well read, intelligent, engaging, eloquent, humorous and captivating public speaker of his calibre will ever be witnessed again.

@@joaquinmisajr.1215 "While granting there could be a “God”'" Was that somehow supposed to show you're not a loser, as if you have some sort of notion how you got around the evidence I gave? It may work with your fellow losers but not with me. "Not a lot of folks have accepted that mythical character Jesus because it’s obviously farcical, capitalizing on emotional blackmail." Again, all you have is bowel gas as your proof. It's what you losers have. ----"According to Marcus Borg, the following facts are agreed upon by most New Testament scholars: Jesus was born sometime just before 4 B.C. He grew up in Nazareth, a small village in Galilee, as part of the peasant class. Jesus’ father was a carpenter and he became one, too, meaning that they had likely lost their agricultural land at some point. Jesus was raised Jewish and he remained deeply Jewish all of his life. His intention was not to create a new religion. Rather, he saw himself as doing something within Judaism. He left Nazareth as an adult, met the prophet John and was baptized by John. During his baptism, Jesus likely experienced some sort of divine vision. Shortly afterwards, Jesus began his public preaching with the message that the world could be transformed into a “Kingdom of God.” He became a noted healer, teacher and prophet. More healing stories are told about Jesus than about any other figure in the Jewish tradition. He was executed by Roman imperial authority. His followers experienced him after his death. It is clear that they had visions of Jesus as they had known him during his historical life."---- from the article (that communist youtube won't let me list the site) --Did Jesus Exist? All Scholars Agree He “Certainly” Existed
Never heard of the guy. Stumbled on this because of the Mitford Sisters. No idea he passed, but not surprising. The whole time I was watching I thought...why is he sweating bullets? Prob. gonna have a coronary on stage. Regardless of what killed him, he is right and wrong on everything.

Now after having watched a Christopher Hitchens video I always have a lump in my throat. Or sometimes even in tears. They always die too soon, the good ones.

An intriguing and instructive session with Christopher, as always - and I would also offer huge compliments to Austin Dacey as a perceptive and constructive interviewer. Very rare. Very well researched and prepared, but never intrusive in Hitch's responses. A textbook lesson.

To have attended this talk, dare I say enlightenment, & have a booked signed by him, what a treasure! I miss this man greatly. I didn't agree with everything he said but he always made me think. In my book, there's no greater gift.
I tuned into Mr. Hitchens to understand the Middle Eastern conflict and find out its origins ,have found so much more about religion and history( I have been atheist since a young age,just by instinct and logic. Hitchens is a breath of fresh air and knowledge
The last few minutes are pure gold. He doesnt just sign the books, he has some kind words and the typical Hitchens smirk for everyone. Although he already must have known he was very, very sick and maybe was already in pain.
1:03:35 Hitchens thoughts on declaring others racist would help out so wonderfully in today’s state of affairs. I miss him. “If a word like that becomes cheap, then we’ve all lost a very important term of condemnation.” Bravo. However I think it’s safe to say we’ve lost that term of condemnation as it is so irresponsibly thrown about.
Undoubtedly the best and most riveting tape of CH I've seen. Surprised that this was not professionally recorded by the Temple itself!! It's nice to see him in discussion and not under assault for his beliefs by one sort of incompetent "believer" or another. Instead, he was accompanied by an eminently competent well prepared questioner!! I even learned a few new things I had not b4 this video, including being introduced to Mr. Dacey. Christopher was not sweating solely on account of the weather conditions BTW. Thankfully, thru YT Christopher's eloquence continues to inform and educate people that may have not even heard of him, while the rest of us can come back and watch something new every now and then, just like this video!! Thank you for your efforts David.
Hello, thank you for your kind words. My goal was to record Hitchens with as much quality and respect as I could possible have done, after having watched loads of videos from his previous lectures and debates. May he forever live in our hearts.
You really don't even have to agree with Hitchens to appreciate what a great intellect and sense of humor he had. He really believed that human beings should think for themselves and not just accept the indoctrination of the particular culture and society they happened to be born into. I will always watch these videos to remind myself of him. I wish I could have met him and had a conversation with him.
At 1:03:30 Hitch talks about what woke people are actively doing to the word racist. Hitting the nail on the head as was his wont, he corrected my assumption that nothing much is lost with the devaluation of the term.
Salman later years after this interview as we know what happened, here we really understand that these persons of letters really are hated by the religious as Christopher is talking about, and in the crossfires these Men drinks, write books, and make their families...these are the real heroes and im grateful to have been fortunate enough to establish time in my life time to for to listen to them.
One has to admire Hitchens' tenacity notwithstanding his other lauded qualities. He was plainly in considerable discomfort portending his underlying illness and yet he prevailed with gracious demeanour. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting this video! So refreshing to see a new CH video after all this time!! The ending as you say, is very cool to watch. Shout out to Austin Tx. I saw a keep Austin weird shirt. Nice! Although some outfits look a bit 1990's. Cheers!!

I enjoyed this, thanks. Hitchens was obviously not feeling well but stayed until the end to sign books like the trooper he was. I think that says a lot about his character.
Thank you sharing this, even if you did sit on it for 10 years before doing so. It seems to me that anyone who admires and respects Hitchens does in fact have "some piece of him": I know I do.
"My own opinion is enough for me, and I claim the right to have it defended against any consensus, any majority, anywhere, anyplace, anytime. And anyone who disagrees with this can pick a number, get in line, and kiss my arse." -Christopher Hitchens
Hitchens is a fascinating recantour with discussions of knowledge gained, and intellectual understanding of history around the world. I get much explained, and in a very charming, entertaining way. I miss you greatly.
Thank you so much David for this video. I've always admired the Hitch. He was a very good writer, a brilliant debater, but as an orator he was unsurpassed. He could give a speech about the paint drying on your wall and you would remain fascinated about walls and paint to your dying day.

It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. ... Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated”-- Christopher Hitchens
Now, look at what biblical faith really means that Hitch the liar didn't even look at:
Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Hitchens always went into evasive word antics to avoid key questions like how we got the creation of the universe.
Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.
Life only comes from life. Law of biogenesis.
God is the reason for us and all we have.

@@2fast2block Your own definition of Faith is immediately wrong, great attempt though. I must define the deference between faith and belief as it seems you don't know. Belief is based on evidence, where as faith is based on emotions. So when you say "Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen." your are wrong twice. All of your links are blocked. Biogenesis is for life from preexisting, not the origin. The universe is not winding down, it is actually accelerating in expansion. Your "proof" for the proposition of a supernatural creator is a non sequitur, and even if I give you that point then who created the creator? Good attempt, keep reading!
@@DaHoKilla you failed to show what I gave on biblical faith is incorrect. Your blah blah with NO evidence doesn't count. It was the same thing with all you gave, blah blah. Now, if you gave evidence that biblical faith did indeed hold up that it had nothing to do with what was seen, or how the 1st and 2nd laws were actually not laws because they failed, then that would be something else. As it stands, you're just an utter failure. You actually think you defeated the laws including the law of biogenesis. You''re NO thinker. Asking how God was created makes no sense. Clearly, creation had to be done by a supernatural creator. A supernatural who created the natural realm of time, space, and matter, along with the natural laws that govern nature, is not bound by the natural laws the supernatural creator created. That's basic logic but not if people are NOT logical.
We needed Hitch's voice during these most insane times. What a major loss.
nah he wouldn't have believed they were happening
Steven Steen - The hell you say? That man's eyes were as open to the stink of the Swamp as anyone's. He always went after the so-called beloved and Sainted golden calves...the ones the sheeple couldn't see.

After 9 years, a new video of my hero? Can't thank you enough
Hello Pristik, thank you.
@Halcyon Days well he did referred to Jefferson as his personal hero xD
@Gods Servant oh! Dont worry, buddy. We are still here making people like you undertand how stupid they are.
@Gods Servant can a random anonymous person on TH-cam offend me?
@Gods Servant you got me... Hey why are you doing this to me fellow servant? I thought we were friends!
Just 16 days after this event here in 2010 he was diagnosed with cancer. Such a tragedy to have lost this man. RIP.
Interesting...Watching him, I was thinking that he did not look well and wondered if he was ill.
Lynn Ransom I thought when seeing him sweat like hell: it must have been a very late night, the night before ( referring to his fondness for spirits ). But apparently there was something much worse going on in the body of this genius. Sadly enough.
That explains why he seems a little off his game.
If you look at the back of his right hand, he has a bruise that looks like a site where either blood was drawn for fluids were infused.
@@wordwarrior2350 as opposed to what? Satan taking him?
brilliant as always ... 💌💌💌
Thank you so much for this. I miss the man every day and it was a rare gift to see him happily signing books at the end.
Thank you Paul, yes my favorite moments are at the end, when you almost get a sense of his kindness and engaging manner.
Thank you, Mr Snider. This interview is priceless! Will miss Mr Hitchens until the day I die.

I always feel like I am in 'great' company when listening to this man. Thankfully there is a whole library of 'The Hitch', and his unique mind and intellect on You Tube, for all to be tickled, pissed off, or enlightened. Miss you Hitch.
This wonderful piece had me almost in tears towards the end; tinged as it must be by the knowledge of what was to come. What an incomparable loss to humanity and to humanism. His tutelage over the years; too late for me to truly appreciate him in his lifetime, introduced me to the free thinkers. Paine, Spinoza, Jefferson, Harris et al. Such a loss. But he himself would not allow anyone to wallow in said loss. Revel instead. Revel in the joy and beauty facilitated by his thoughts and his writings. If I pass on one thing only to my children, it shall be The Hitch. And I shall have done my work.
It's not a loss when a loser passes.

You see? You have created a prophet - albeit of minuscule stature; misguided; and, short lived. It's not hard. What is hard is to be an orator that casts a message that lasts for hundreds of years or even rarer thousands of years. That requires more than just a spoiled, unruly, iconoclast.
This is such a wonderful gift. Thank you so much, David Snider.
You're very welcome Pady, take care.
This is very special. Hitch has a plethora of brilliant debates, often repeating his ‘greatest hits’ on line but this is different. His humour and brilliance are dazzlingly on display here. A wonderful mind, and one of the most important writers and thinkers of the last 50 years. I’ve never loved someone I’ve never met more. Thanks for sharing.
The Hitch! What a delight to see a new video of him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for uploading. ♥️
What pure pleasure this was. Thank you Hitch. Thank you David for the upload.
I'm a recent fan of Hitch. Not because I didn't know of his existence, but of the lack of my abilities to acknowledge and comprehend his brilliance. My solace is in this and the other videos so generously shared. Thank You

Whether you agree or otherwise with anything he expresses, I cannot help but wonder whether such a well read, intelligent, engaging, eloquent, humorous and captivating public speaker of his calibre will ever be witnessed again. His legacy, influence, mastery of the the English language, and inspiration to free thinkers will continue on; a small crumb of solice for the 'early' loss of such a truly exceptional man, who would no doubt have had so much more to contribute to inquisitive minds. He is very sorely missed, but fondly remembered. Sincerely, thanks again 🙂

"Not a lot of folks have accepted that mythical character Jesus because it’s obviously farcical, capitalizing on emotional blackmail."
Again, all you have is bowel gas as your proof. It's what you losers have.
----"According to Marcus Borg, the following facts are agreed upon by most New Testament scholars:
Jesus was born sometime just before 4 B.C. He grew up in Nazareth, a small village in Galilee, as part of the peasant class. Jesus’ father was a carpenter and he became one, too, meaning that they had likely lost their agricultural land at some point.
Jesus was raised Jewish and he remained deeply Jewish all of his life. His intention was not to create a new religion. Rather, he saw himself as doing something within Judaism.
He left Nazareth as an adult, met the prophet John and was baptized by John. During his baptism, Jesus likely experienced some sort of divine vision.
Shortly afterwards, Jesus began his public preaching with the message that the world could be transformed into a “Kingdom of God.”
He became a noted healer, teacher and prophet. More healing stories are told about Jesus than about any other figure in the Jewish tradition.
He was executed by Roman imperial authority.
His followers experienced him after his death. It is clear that they had visions of Jesus as they had known him during his historical life."----

Hitchens always went into evasive word antics to avoid key questions like how we got the creation of the universe.
Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.

A pleasure to have been given the opportunity to watch and reflect on.
Thank you.
What a joy to come across this after years of thinking I had seen every video of CH on the internet! Thanks for sharing! Regarding what the Hitch would make of events today--one things for sure, his views would be adorned with wit, nuance and historical insight.
Now after having watched a Christopher Hitchens video I always have a lump in my throat. Or sometimes even in tears.
They always die too soon, the good ones.
The comment section on YT isn't the proper place to elaborate too extensively on the greatness of 'The Hitch' but those who actually have taken the time to listen to him and read his books knów what I'm talking about.
For those who know him and his work it is unnecessary to say what many of you keep on mentioning in this section and what ought to be carved in granit for that matter is :
Christopher Hitchens, we miss you terribly.
I'm rereading his marvelous book 'God is not great' at the moment and I am convinced it will be on my nightstand perminently.
He wasn't good, he lied and didn't care.

An intriguing and instructive session with Christopher, as always - and I would also offer huge compliments to Austin Dacey as a perceptive and constructive interviewer. Very rare. Very well researched and prepared, but never intrusive in Hitch's responses. A textbook lesson.
Oh wow a new christopher hitchens video! Its like he has come back to life.
@Gods Servant u on a bout?
The most intelligent man of his generation and with a melodic , mesmerizing voice. An awful loss way too early. It was on this book tour that he was diagnosed with cancer. Tragic.
He was a loser so wake the F up.

Hard to imagine, but he found out only three days before this on June 10th that he was mortally sick, and 18 months later, he was gone.
He really didn't look well in this
To have attended this talk, dare I say enlightenment, & have a booked signed by him, what a treasure! I miss this man greatly. I didn't agree with everything he said but he always made me think. In my book, there's no greater gift.
I will always be thankful for Christopher Hitchens . Even in death he holds aloft the flaming torch of the predominantly self taught polymath .
I’m halfway through the memoir and enjoying it so much. This was wonderful to watch. Thanks
Wow, really nice to watch new content of Hitch. Especially enjoyable since I have read Hitch-22. Thank you from India.
Thank you very much!
Ironic that he will have a longer "afterlife" than most religious apologists will ever dream to have.
Well said!!!
Could you explain that please?
You are saying that Hitchens wrote a few sophomoric books? If so, I agree.
longer after life .......... yeh in hell (sadly he choose to reject God)
@@rep10101 I don’t think God rejected him.
Wow😊 Thank you for finally sharing 👏
Love the magic moments at the end watching Hitch sign books and talk with folks...so cool so fun.
Made my day, never had seen this before. Thanks a ton
You're very welcome, Kees. Take care.
Thank you so much for posting this.
You're very welcome!
A new Hitch talk -- Huzzah!
Whenever I undertake to read anything by Mr Hitchens, my head really fecken hurts. However my heart flies.
RI Polemic Christopher....thank you.
You'd better be sauced
There will never be another Hitch
Gods Servant oh but there are many sheep like you the world doesn’t need.
I dread the thought, but you may be right.
True. But Douglas Murray is a worthy successor.
I tuned into Mr. Hitchens to understand the Middle Eastern conflict and find out its origins ,have found so much more about religion and history( I have been atheist since a young age,just by instinct and logic.
Hitchens is a breath of fresh air and knowledge
The last few minutes are pure gold. He doesnt just sign the books, he has some kind words and the typical Hitchens smirk for everyone.
Although he already must have known he was very, very sick and maybe was already in pain.
1:03:35 Hitchens thoughts on declaring others racist would help out so wonderfully in today’s state of affairs. I miss him. “If a word like that becomes cheap, then we’ve all lost a very important term of condemnation.” Bravo. However I think it’s safe to say we’ve lost that term of condemnation as it is so irresponsibly thrown about.
True greatness
Undoubtedly the best and most riveting tape of CH I've seen. Surprised that this was not professionally recorded by the Temple itself!! It's nice to see him in discussion and not under assault for his beliefs by one sort of incompetent "believer" or another. Instead, he was accompanied by an eminently competent well prepared questioner!! I even learned a few new things I had not b4 this video, including being introduced to Mr. Dacey. Christopher was not sweating solely on account of the weather conditions BTW.
Thankfully, thru YT Christopher's eloquence continues to inform and educate people that may have not even heard of him, while the rest of us can come back and watch something new every now and then, just like this video!! Thank you for your efforts David.
Hello, thank you for your kind words. My goal was to record Hitchens with as much quality and respect as I could possible have done, after having watched loads of videos from his previous lectures and debates. May he forever live in our hearts.
You really don't even have to agree with Hitchens to appreciate what a great intellect and sense of humor he had. He really believed that human beings should think for themselves and not just accept the indoctrination of the particular culture and society they happened to be born into. I will always watch these videos to remind myself of him. I wish I could have met him and had a conversation with him.
At 1:03:30 Hitch talks about what woke people are actively doing to the word racist. Hitting the nail on the head as was his wont, he corrected my assumption that nothing much is lost with the devaluation of the term.
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you uploader. The Hitch will always be in my heart.
Salman later years after this interview as we know what happened, here we really understand that these persons of letters really are hated by the religious as Christopher is talking about, and in the crossfires these Men drinks, write books, and make their families...these are the real heroes and im grateful to have been fortunate enough to establish time in my life time to for to listen to them.
One I’ve not seen. Thank you!
Oh my bleeding heart. How I miss the hitch so very much.
Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for uploading :)
Thank you very much.
Thank you for posting ✌🏼
One has to admire Hitchens' tenacity notwithstanding his other lauded qualities. He was plainly in considerable discomfort portending his underlying illness and yet he prevailed with gracious demeanour. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting this video! So refreshing to see a new CH video after all this time!! The ending as you say, is very cool to watch. Shout out to Austin Tx. I saw a keep Austin weird shirt. Nice! Although some outfits look a bit 1990's. Cheers!!
"People who have all the information they think they need"....that phrase stopped me in my tracks
Not to exaggerate but this has been the best gift that I have received in 2020. Thank you @david Snider
Hitchens only person that could cut through my bs and allowed me to get out of my religion, forever missed!

Pamela: what a treat to listen to this brilliant polemicist. Never met him personally - yet reacted to his relatively young death with great sadness and a deep sense of the loss of this great thinker to the world.
I
These are like rare-gems
I enjoyed this, thanks. Hitchens was obviously not feeling well but stayed until the end to sign books like the trooper he was. I think that says a lot about his character.
Miss you Christopher Hitchens.
Thank you for this David.
Thank you sharing this, even if you did sit on it for 10 years before doing so. It seems to me that anyone who admires and respects Hitchens does in fact have "some piece of him": I know I do.
To this day the loss can be felt.
I like the interviewer. He was respectful and didn't turn this into a debate.
"My own opinion is enough for me, and I claim the right to have it defended against any consensus, any majority, anywhere, anyplace, anytime. And anyone who disagrees with this can pick a number, get in line, and kiss my arse."
-Christopher Hitchens
Hitchens is a fascinating recantour with discussions of knowledge gained, and intellectual understanding of history around the world.
I get much explained, and in a very charming, entertaining way. I miss you greatly.
Thank you so much David for this video. I've always admired the Hitch. He was a very good writer, a brilliant debater, but as an orator he was unsurpassed. He could give a speech about the paint drying on your wall and you would remain fascinated about walls and paint to your dying day.
Andrew Morton Well said! Nice one.
Thank you Andrew. The Hitch was indeed a phenomenon.
Great to see him signing books at the end
