I like Claude. He may be an emotionless sociopath, but I like him.
Good description .
Aren’t we all?
Sir Claude is a good story teller. I am surprise how quickly he connected with the audience but I think he is being strategically humble.
This guy is 70. He has aged really well.
Amit Vikram Sundar he had a full head of hair up until about 10 years ago
70? 😐 Jesus, guy has aged like stainless steel 👀
Lie. He is 72

Must be all the clean food the rich can afford!!!
i actually hated him but now after seeing him here i quite like him. He is a truly gentleman and honest.
Lemme guess... the interviews?
@@abhainnxv1554 bruh I loved him because of the interviews 😂
@@Mand3012 Ikr, but he really is an acquired taste.
His answer to the last question was class, everything he says resonates with me
This was a great interview. Could listen to Claude all day. Loved his answer to the first question. Stop complaining and get to work.
I love it when someone manages to combine success with humility!
Love his honesty
Amazing talk, such a charismatic and honest speaker ✅
''Chasing money - that's absurd''..... wise words from a very wise and modest guy. He doesn't suffer fools and bullshitters and that's why people are negative about him......In the Apprentice don't give him the ammunition to shoot you down with......
Only 5 mins in, but comes across as really humble and down to earth for a businessman!
First time I've seen claude shake someone's hand
Best comment
Does he have a book out yet? Would love to hear more of his stories.
Yes he does, single minded by Claude Littner, It's very good.
The Claudobiography
I just heard about the accident involving an electric bicycle !!!
...
Just wishing a very speedy recovery indeed !!!
...
The lecture was very interesting also !!!
...
MANY THANKS and GET WELL SOON !!!
Imagine Claude testifying against you in court. He’d leave no stone unturned.
Would suck to be you in that scenario, Patrick.
Hun
Seems hard to believe that even Claude got his ass chewed by Alan Sugar 😂
I enjoyed that.
Very down to earth guy. He knows what he wants to achieve but doesn't have an ego. You could learn a lot working with him
V good thanks for sharing
Very intelligent man.
I love him Such nice man
What an interesting, eloquent man.
I love Claude Littner!
He shows a lot more vulnerability in this Q&A which is interesting.
A really inspiring gentleman
we all have vulnerablilities
28:00 is the question everyone is looking for. You're welcome.
You the MVP
This has been a long time coming
Genuine.
Two pages of bloody sailing boats
Cope better.
Some of these questions. These kids need to get out more
Some Say he is named after Claude Greengrass
Wow, he's totally different to the monster I see on TV :)
Jez the questions asked by the audience are dire typical of students thinking they are too big for their boots not an ounce of common sense
Agreed. Snotty, born to rule little shits
@@ThePrimeMinisterOfTheBlock stay mad
It's always good to move the mic away from your mouth when talking in to it
I like this guy. Good on him
What does Inehritance taxation in the US, have to do with opportunites in the UK ?
45:06
A wild Cosmic Skeptic appears at 34:32
Isn't that the guy Muhammad Hijab humiliated?
You get to ask Claude Littner any question and you ask him that @39:25
28:11 - boy, sort your fade out, what an earth have you done to the side of your head lol.
Really good speech and stories from Claude. Then the first question was stupid as hell
Great speech, and although the question was an odd choice for the guest, his answer was terrible and totally missed the point. The audience member asked about generational wealth and Claude went off about people wanting things for free and he Labour party.
Great guy, but looks like Darth Vader without his mask on
@Redstar Dwight It's a joke, and kind of a funny one, lighten up.
@Redstar Dwight It's a joke. Nobody thinks it is a serious comparison, but it's enough of an unexpected resemblance to be humorous, particularly if you are familiar with his character on The Apprentice. There is a lot of personal and social value in learning to laugh at ourselves. I'm sure Claude would laugh about it too.
@Redstar Dwight I would leave it there, but I'm curious: did you even notice I didn't make the original comment?
I could never go on The Apprentice because I'd find my grilling from Claude just a little bit too sexually arousing.
He criticises the CV and Business Plan of EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE, dismissing them all as useless and worthless ... and yet, his Boss selects one of the Candidates to be his Business Partner with a whopping £250,000 Kite.
Must be REALLY GREAT working for a Fell'er lilke him ... you'd get slagged off just going for a Flippin' Slash.
These students are exceptionally intelligent with respect to academia… However, they can’t string together a question.
Jack of all trades, master of none
Bumbling away and he gets jobs like this ....
It's the Greed of a few,that's causing the agony of the many in the UK
Move to China if you don’t like it
The moderator is HOT .
Glorified salesman........
Not really. He’s fucking done alright on it.
"Labuor want everything for free". Well that's just misinformation. The Tories have a history of low-tax manifestos. You can't fund society if there's not taxation. If we asset-strip our services we have no assets left to manage and therefore less wealth. Which the Tories did. You only have to look at the train service and the Post Office for mismanagement of privatisation. I don't understand his logic at all. Other than that it was interesting. He's a capitalist and would profit from his friends. Of course he's done well in business.
"The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society" my arse it is... people wearing hats and coats what a joke
These students do love to bash the government no matter who the guest is, they always turn political and try to push the conversation into a left-leaning debate.
That's because they're intelligent individuals who are left-wing and not right-wing nutjobs like Trump
@@tdtm82 Yeah they're intelligent for their very limited life experience. Also most right wingers are not like Trump - and I don't even think Trump actually has the views that he spews out - it's all politics to get voted in. But my point was about how they turn every debate into a political one, which it doesn't or even shouldn't be.
@@tdtm82 Right, because intelligence is the exclusive premise of the left… Could have fooled me.
@@tdtm82 left wing equals intelligent does it?
@@cobbler9113 left wingers tend, in my experience, the least egalitarian and generous, when they have to put their hands in their pocket.
I worked hard and ended up disabled. So his logic is twisted.
You're just lazy
Not really. Effort doesn't guarantee success, but idleness always leads to failure
If it were easy, we'd all be rich 🤣
@@WPTHFC he’s in a wheelchair he can’t exactly run around and not be “lazy” depending on what you mean
Claude Hitler
How scary and sad.
He devoted his mind and soul his whole life working to make more profit for already wealthy people....then
espouses classic “old, white, rich man” complaints that workers shouldn’t expect social services.
Then ends his discussion strongly saying money doesn’t matter ....and the environment and sustainability weren’t
Important to him.
Unfortunately, this is why the youth vote is so important. These old guys aren’t going to be around to see the suffering their life’s work caused.
I agree that his answer to the social inequity question was weak, he doesn't take into account the differences in property prices, wages and inflation since the 1960's and makes somewhat vague and sweeping generalisations. That said, I'm not sure what his age, race or gender have to do with anything?
@Jonathan Bowen She is obviously one of those people who do not listen but rather build straw men because they are intellectually too weak to engage in a real discussion.
@Jonathan Bowen Well said. It is always those who think they are doing good who do the most harm.
Claude is Jewish; does that count as white these days?
"old, white rich man" - Take your ageism & sexism elsewhere .
