AlienAmerican I would pay a lot to see him speak about this election cycle . Also Brexit would have been good since he and his brother are at.....somewhat political odds.
@@NostalgiaMan I disagree, but i'm not a conservative, though I respect his brother, as he won't put up with the Tory bullshit and he stood up for Corbyn against an unjust press even though they agree on very little.
I think to be fair the focus in her 'quip' should be placed on 'opinion' as in ''that's your OPINION'' but even allowing for that,Hitch was right in my OPINION!
I love watching the expressions on the faces of these people when they get the truth slapped across their face like a wet towel. Damn Hitch was good. : )
He wasnt that good he just said (more eloquently I admit) what anyone who'd done a scintilla of research knows which is that Clinton is not fit for President.
I knew him through the books and speeches and debates and conversations. "The only reason I’d want to meet Shakespeare, or might even want to, is because I can meet him, any time, because he isimmortal in the works he’s left behind. If you’ve read those, meeting the author would almost certainly be a disappointment." - hitch
I feel sorry for him...he was so unhappy that his own wife reported that he needed to be drunk in order to stand the presence of other human beings, whom he generally dispised.... his chubby bro is a way happier dude because he knows his limits
I wish this great, intelligent, honest, rightly critical and well-spoken man who did his homework well was still alive. Thank you for this compilation/upload. Thumb's up.
They are, its up to us to encourage the new generation of Hitchens types of people to speak up. These voices are silenced today. Not directly, but media just wont talk or acknowledge it, it therefore seemingly is insignificant or non existent to the closed minded person.
@@pokeylope6108sorry to disappoint, I've looked high and low for the next great thinker from the millennial and gen z generation, and no one comes even close. He is a polymath and intellect of the old school kind, he is well read and well travelled.
While, as a theist, Hitch and I disagreed on many things. Nevertheless he was without any doubt a legend and an amazing intellect. Sorry to admit many of his arguments against Christianity were true on the human side of it. I miss him.
It's a tragedy that as Hillary comes the closest yet to assuming the office of President, Christopher Hitchens is no longer with us. We could use his slicing and dicing of Hillary's narcissism in this election, more than ever.
Oooooh how I miss Hitchens. He was so vocal and clear that even after his death, we might be able to fill in what he would say about our current affairs... but he would surprise us. Because I'm not Hitchens, you are not and nobody is. Poor us.
Watching Paul Begala smile and squirm while Hitchens eviscerates Hillary Clinton's character and reputation is truly priceless. Begala is actually confirming everything Hitchen's is saying about Hillary with his body language.
I didn't discover him until his death, and now have an unhealthy "man crush". Thank you Brother for watching. Give us a share if it isn't too much to ask.
@@AlienAmerican Right on man. Yeah, I have the "man-crush" on him too...lol I wish I had his voice. I too didn't discover him until late 2010. Had a year with the Hitch, but what a year. I will give it a share. Always down to let others know about the Hitch. 😎👍
He gave me the courage to admit out loud that i didnt believe in religion. In the bible belt that can be a very damning thing to let be know. I lost my relationship with my family over it. But my views stand firm.
Thank you so much for this gem of a compilation. No one has ever come close to exposing and dissecting Clintonian ruthlessness/psychopathy/incompetence with anything approaching the eloquence, credibility and searing wit of Hitchens. His stance on the Iraq War deeply disappointed me, but in no way diminished the invaluable light he shone on this shameless pair - who probably partied till dawn when he died. Thank god we can still access his crucial voice via technology...I hope this goes viral.
Man do I wish Hitchens were still with us. One of the greatest minds of the latter-20th and early 21st centuries. If only more people were willing to cut through the B.S. like Hitchens so effortlessly did, maybe this nation and species in general would have a shot....
"...If Barack Obama does this to himself, he'll never have a minute's peace in foreign policy and neither will we..." More prescient words were never spoken. How long have we been in the muck about Benghazi or the email situation?
Alien American, thanks for posting this. I actually voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and regretted the moment I cast my vote. I knew how awful she is and I suspect a lot of the people who voted for her knew too. It's so friggin' obvious.
Thank you Brother for taking the time to enjoy my humble compilation. Even though Hitch couldn't be with us, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't help his words be heard one more time on the subject of the Clintons.
Thank you so much for finding this intellectual gem. Honesty, logic, brilliant historian, huge depth of understanding, scalpel like analysis of the truth and unbelievably beautiful prose. It is a feast for Hitch lovers and it's beautifully timed! He, as too few saw, had her number from day one. She's absolutely ruthless and has always put herself and her wants, money and power. It became her downfall. Boy, I miss this man.
The long, enduring list of adjectives Chris Hitchens attributes to Bill Clinton is hilarious and absolutely spot on; then, now & FOREVER!! Like he said from the beginning, in more eloquent terms, the Clinton’s suck!!
Thank you for putting this all together, i thought i was a Hitchens nut. Even CNN had turned their backs on her with her attacks on Gabbard and accusatory ramblings. Took long enough
W O W - and thanks for this illustration of our beloved Hitch using his brilliant mind proving that Bill is a professional politician who prefers to win elections , - and that Hillary also aspires to win elections in order to pursue her a career in Public Service .. .. Quite informative in that I learned something new about Hitch ..
I adore Hitchens. I don't worship him or agree with everything he thought. I have a much higher opinion of Hillary than he did. However, had he lived to see the 2016 election season, I can't conceive of him EVER supporting Trump, given his disdain for hypocrisy, corruption, stupidity, nepotism, racism, Evangelical "values", pro-Israeli fanaticism, and irrational discourse. That's a very incomplete list. He *may* have advocated abstaining from voting, or a third party candidate. It's a shame we'll never know. RIP CH
He would've railed against Hillary in this last election. He would've supported Trump's hard stance against islamist extremism, one of the last big causes he was truly passionate about and warned us about. He may not have been Trump fan numero uno but you clearly haven't read his books or seen enough of his thoughts on the Clintons to make an asinine statement like that. Completely delusional.
I especially love watching Hitchens' American TV experiences to try and time the moment the producers yell in the hosts ear to cut to commercial or change the subject every time Hitchens hits a nail squarely on its head.
***** Oh my gosh, if Christopher Hitchens were still here, he'd hitchslap the daylights out of you for saying that haha. Peter hitchens is a complete tosser, I'll say no more.
LOL. I'm talking about their observable dynamic in the clip shown only. But I ask you, posing in that trenchcoat for that photo shown in the thumnail what the hell does he expect?! May as well don a deerstalker.
peter Hitchins may be 'funnier' then Chris...but at least he doesnt need to be drunk in order to put up with other human beings...whats the gain in being "smartest" if your just an unhappy old sourpuss? Christopher is a much more successfully HAPPY human being
For the few people who don't know, and the even fewer who are interested to know, the gentleman on the right from 2:35 is Christophers brother Peter who is a journalist and author.
AlienAmerican ... indeed, , it is rumoured that peters lack of presents,,particularly around christmas, was the initial cause of the friction and rivalriea they were so famous
I'm so sorry that Hitch is gone...virtually all of the guests on these programs inspire yawns. He brings an wit-filled luminescence to the screen and is a joy to listen to. Even when I don't agree with him I think he's marvelous (in this case, his commentary on HRC, I DO agree with him)
He is unbelievably prescient! His argument is as specific and logical as if he was commenting on the election in 2016! Once more, I turn to my intellectual kindred spirit (in this particular case) to remind me of the logical beauty of the truth. We miss your clarion voice today, more than ever. Oh, Chris!

respect for putting this together- this is essential public viewing-ive only just properly got into his work so every one of these quotes are new to me thanks mate
Major respect for Hitchens even if I don't entirely agree with everything he said. No respect for the uploader who felt it necessary to loop Hitchens' statements like we are fucking children and need something repeated that was literally _just_ said.
Well you gotta have a bit of respect for the uploader, he did put all these clips together. I and most people I suspect wouldn't have seen all of these clips otherwise.
Oddly enough, I became a believer in a "higher power" after I started following the works of "The Hitch" and his famous debates on spirituality. I can listen to him for hours on end. I don't always subscribe to his opinions, but I so enjoy his repartee. He possessed qualities I always exclusively assigned to Jefferson, a brilliant, inquisitive mind with the gift of being able, and above all else, articulate himself in such a way that one can only admire. We are all the poorer for his passing.
This is a fantastic compilation and I wish, like pretty much everyone here, that Hitch was still with us. I'd reallyl ove to hear his take on the preposterous Trump era, the feeble old-geezer Biden era, war in Ukraine etc.
People such as Chris Hitchens are quite impressive not because they figure out what a crook HRC is, but because they figure such things out quite early on.
Now I understand why people don't always agree with Hitch, I mean that he might not be completely right on a subject but he makes his opponent look like a idiot. So it might make people hate him for coming off so smug and seemingly correct on a topic that they hope he is wrong about. But only a fool would deny that he did not have something insightful and intelligent to bring to the topic. It's that very thing that is missed so much!!!!
The funny thing i find about most people who criticize his alleged ostentatious style is not how he phrases things or goes after opponents, rather that they say people only find him insightful because of his accent, which is patently false (at least in my case) as i was first a fan of his writing rather than speaking. I would also add that i don't always agree with him, i'm not that sort of fan.
+Kubomi As enthralling as his voice can be, it has little affect without the immense, encyclopedic reservoir or knowledge backing his words. His writings as well, have touched emotional strings I rarely experience reading anyone else. I wish I could thank him personally.
@@syzyphyz His accent is authentic, I can assure you of that, I am a British citizen ... That is how people, with a bought and paid for education speak... That's partly why they buy an education, so they learn to speak with gravitas, perfect diction, confidence, with a cut glass accent... Check out his brother Peter Hitchins... He sounds marginally posher, because he never left the UK but they sound almost identical ... Genuinely how posh people speak.
Certainly some on the fringes that could be said to hate Christopher but they disqualified themselves for such thinking. He was without doubt an amazing intellect and worthy opponent for many that had the fortitude to debate him. Great post!
I’m so glad Hitch’s flirtation with 24 hour news networks was so brief. It was a terrible forum for him to operate in. He did so well in auditoriums with time to breathe and elaborate on his ideas.
I'd pay any amount of money to hear Christopher Hitchens' thoughts when, if he lived to see 2016, what he would have done/said when his choice for President of the United States was Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.
hmmm. He ended up being wrong about the faithful however. They don't mind people pretending to be more pious than they really are, as long as they are named Donald Trump.
A real believer would start quoting Mathew, 'when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are'. So it would seem god does not love phonies either.
What Hitchens thought of Trump in 2000: "Donald Trump - a ludicrous figure. At least he's lived it up a bit in the real world and at least he’s worked out how to cover 90 per cent of his skull with 30 per cent of his hair."
susan jones wth? You don't think she could use like a year of beauty sleep? Lol We're caught in between a lunatic and a liar, and there is no happy middle ground. Sad days, indeed...
Thanks. I wish he was around. Like his brother he always has an interesting take on issues. I think he would mercilessly attack Biden if around today. And have a complex view on Trump.
Can you imagine what it might have been like to live with someone like Hitch? Like, just sitting down to breakfast and trying to start conversation. Starting a day with a Hitchslap just for asking about the weather. And don't let him catch you watching Fox News. lol Miss the guy. 😂
One of the Most correct men to have ever lived. Hitchens was spot on.

Oddly enough, I became a believer in a "higher power" after I started following the works of "The Hitch" and his famous debates on spirituality. I can listen to him for hours on end. I don't always subscribe to his opinions, but I so enjoy his repartee. He possessed qualities I always exclusively assigned to Jefferson, a brilliant, inquisitive mind with the gift of being able, and above all else, articulate himself in such a way that one can only admire. We are all the poorer for his passing.
"Get real."
RIP Hitch
"Get real."
"would you prefer if I answered with your opinion?" hahahaha!!!
That was gold.
+Cameron Hjeltness I just made it mine. hahaha. good one.
True! I loved how he said it.
I miss Hitch. Imagine if we had him and he moderated the Clinton Trump debates this fall. He'd be awesome and expose the both of them
Hitchens went on later to defend the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He blowtorched her!! Amazing intellect and brave man!!
Thank you Mr. AlienAmerican :]
This made my night
Jeremy Harris thank you for watching Brother.
Christopher did have a way with words.
Funny how these things have all come to pass. It blows my mind, of how evident it's now. We lost a real bloodhound in Christopher Hitchins.
Very true my friend. Thank you for watching.
White men being a leader of a free world is equivalent to separate but equal.
"The frog in my throat"...the early signs of the cancer that would kill Hitch.
Nixon resigned over much less. Just imagined what else future candidates will be able to avoid because of the precedent set up by Clinton
Right. Nixon is slightly before my time, but I've read about it. He did "jack shit" compared to what the Clintons pulled.
This is a fantastic compilation and I wish, like pretty much everyone here, that Hitch was still with us. I'd reallyl ove to hear his take on the preposterous Trump era, the feeble old-geezer Biden era, war in Ukraine etc.
I'm sure he wouldn't be at a loss for words. Thank you for watching.
People such as Chris Hitchens are quite impressive not because they figure out what a crook HRC is, but because they figure such things out quite early on.
I concur.
Now I understand why people don't always agree with Hitch, I mean that he might not be completely right on a subject but he makes his opponent look like a idiot. So it might make people hate him for coming off so smug and seemingly correct on a topic that they hope he is wrong about.
But only a fool would deny that he did not have something insightful and intelligent to bring to the topic.
It's that very thing that is missed so much!!!!
The funny thing i find about most people who criticize his alleged ostentatious style is not how he phrases things or goes after opponents, rather that they say people only find him insightful because of his accent, which is patently false (at least in my case) as i was first a fan of his writing rather than speaking. I would also add that i don't always agree with him, i'm not that sort of fan.
+Kubomi As enthralling as his voice can be, it has little affect without the immense, encyclopedic reservoir or knowledge backing his words. His writings as well, have touched emotional strings I rarely experience reading anyone else. I wish I could thank him personally.
+Kubomi and by the way, Thank you for taking the time to peruse my humble tributes to him.
@@syzyphyz His accent is authentic, I can assure you of that, I am a British citizen ...
That is how people, with a bought and paid for education speak...
That's partly why they buy an education, so they learn to speak with gravitas, perfect diction, confidence, with a cut glass accent... Check out his brother Peter Hitchins... He sounds marginally posher, because he never left the UK but they sound almost identical ...
Genuinely how posh people speak.
Certainly some on the fringes that could be said to hate Christopher but they disqualified themselves for such thinking. He was without doubt an amazing intellect and worthy opponent for many that had the fortitude to debate him. Great post!
Great resource. Thanks for posting.
Hitchens saying "get real" is my favorite thing in the world.
I loved the interaction between the brothers Peter seems to be the only person not overly impressed by Christopher
Good observation.
I’m so glad Hitch’s flirtation with 24 hour news networks was so brief. It was a terrible forum for him to operate in. He did so well in auditoriums with time to breathe and elaborate on his ideas.
Agreed. He was too elegant for a 60 second talking head.
Why are there weird edits/repeats in slow motion? Please tell me this isn't intended
I'd pay any amount of money to hear Christopher Hitchens' thoughts when, if he lived to see 2016, what he would have done/said when his choice for President of the United States was Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.
@william henderson even if Trump was her opponent??? Pretty sure he would’ve DESPISED Trump.
So many people, like Cristopher Hitchens, should have been alive today to comment on our current situation.
He was correct about her: Clinton on Qaddafi: We came, we saw, he died [Laughs]
"Every hack in the land." Love it.
Thanks for watching Brother. Please give me a share.
And we never did have a moment's peace with Hillory as Sect. Of State as Hitch predicted and US Ambassador and American veterans died as well.
hmmm. He ended up being wrong about the faithful however. They don't mind people pretending to be more pious than they really are, as long as they are named Donald Trump.
That's not true. I've heard many Christians criticizing trump.
A real believer would start quoting Mathew, 'when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are'. So it would seem god does not love phonies either.
I never see Trump pretending to be pious or ever claiming to be pious.
And would "they" support Hillary?
I just wonder what Hitch would say to her E-Mail Server Scandal. RiP We miss you!
I want him back for MANY many reasons. We need his wisdom now more than ever.
If only.
What Hitchens thought of Trump in 2000: "Donald Trump - a ludicrous figure. At least he's lived it up a bit in the real world and at least he’s worked out how to cover 90 per cent of his skull with 30 per cent of his hair."
I'm just scared of Trump's wig going apeshit while Trump is sleeping and nuking a country...
I agree with you in a way. I think I might just be more scared of Hillary ignoring the lives of our troops while she is sleeping.
susan jones wth? You don't think she could use like a year of beauty sleep? Lol We're caught in between a lunatic and a liar, and there is no happy middle ground. Sad days, indeed...
susan jones you're just buying into Trump rhetoric. Hillary was not actually asleep during Benghazi, and Trump backtracked after saying it.
+B-poptosis Might as well have been.
Ugh, when he said he had a frog in his throat... heartbreaking.
Thanks. I wish he was around. Like his brother he always has an interesting take on issues. I think he would mercilessly attack Biden if around today. And have a complex view on Trump.
Agreed. It's nearly impossible to predict what he'd say about anything, but I can't imagine nice things being said about Biden.
Ironically, the closest thing I've ever had to a god. Hitch. I won't see you in heaven.
That “frog” in Hitches throat was the beginning of the end for him.
Too soon.
Hitches knew there is only one truth ...and you cannot be beaten on any debate when you speak the truth
Can you imagine what it might have been like to live with someone like Hitch? Like, just sitting down to breakfast and trying to start conversation. Starting a day with a Hitchslap just for asking about the weather. And don't let him catch you watching Fox News. lol
Miss the guy. 😂
Based on the amount of Scotch and wine he drank, I can only imagine every meal was interesting. Thank you for watching!!
my 2 favourite brothers, and how i miss Chris, i remember sone of this, bless him
Christopher if you please . He promised his Mother he would never allow anyone to address him as Chris . Fact ✌🏼🥃
Hitchens is so fascinating to listen to that no one in the comment section thinks about criticizing the editing of the video :D
Isn't it great 👍
@@AlienAmerican Hahaha It's a BIT heavy I'd say. ;)
@@blasalvice I know. Sorry. It seemed like a fun idea at the time. Thank you for giving it a chance.
@@AlienAmerican it's all good. Thank you for sharing the Hitchens love !
