The "Viewing list" thread is kinda movies only, so I thought it would be a good idea to create a separate thread for cool political interviews, debates, talks and lectures on youtube and/or vimeo. Bonus points if you post interviews or debates where some reactionary (or even better, some journalist!) is completely destroyed and left without a leg to stand on. :grin:
Let's broaden it out further than just the Revolutionary Left, e.g. Malcolm X got some very good points on racism and the limitations of non-violence even though he's not a revleftist.
To start off, Malcolm X's talk at the Oxford Union (I'm pretty sure there's a longer, higher quality version floating around somewhere where you also catch a short glimpse of Tariq Ali, but can't find it atm):

Chomsky's also got some great interviews. He's a calm dude, but he really got riled up in this interview with Evan Solomon (I don't blame him, who wouldn't?). I don't know if that was Solomon's intention, but it makes for great entertainment :grin::

Chomsky on HardTalk with Stephen Sackur:

Chomsky kills Paxman:

There are lots more by Chomsky, I'll probably add some later.
Now I know I'll catch flak for this, but here are some clips with George Galloway which are just classics. Interview on Sky News during 2006 Lebanon War (she definitely bit off more than she could chew...:grin:):

The "Grapple in the Apple", a debate on the war in Iraq with Christopher Hitchens, where Hitchens is completely destroyed:

Yeah, so if you guys got some cool videos then post. It doesn't have to be an interview or debate, can be a lecture as well.
