The National is CBC Television's flagship news program. Airing seven days a week, the show delivers news, feature documentaries and analysis from some of Canada's leading journalists.
How come the CBC didn’t disable comments for this video? He is speaking truth, after all...
Rex was ahead of his time. All this seems to obvious now but to call this 8 years ago was not the norm. RIP legend
We sure miss you Rex Murphy!
@. Nice! Very nice of you to say so. If you don't have anything nice or factual to say go crawl back in your hole. Many Canadians miss listening to Rex Murphy on Cross Country Checkup where he had many (we) fans! Have a nice holiday!
NO WE DON'T.
Amazing!! this was an amazing segment by Rex.. I hope this opens some eyes
This is another moment when you think, don't know what you have 'til it's gone. Rex was indeed a national treasure.
Like it or not, Rex Murphy was well ahead of the curve from many journalists in understanding the appeal of Donald Trump.
Nice piece. I liked it. It flowed like honey.
To start my short posting here with your own opening line ... "how did Trudeau got where he is ?" I'm a small business owner here in Canada and I'd prefer to have Trump as a prime minister looking after his country. I don't agree with many of his policies towards us, up here, but I think that he is a patriot to his country... I wouldn't mind a Trump -like leader at all.
You are greatly missed, dear Rex. Your wisdom still stands true today.
So very true. Very thought out and well articulated segment! You put my thoughts into words.
I love you Mr. Murphy.
R.I.P Rex.
Very well put. RIP my Friend
Glad we have sanity and Rex in Canada
This aged well, but I said the same thing at the time.
I’m afraid I’d have to disagree on this one Rex. I think you might have summed that up missing an awful lot of information.
Rex. We miss you so very much.
And then Rex Murphy went back to his lily white upper class neighbourhood.
damn, right in the teeths! Well said Rex
+Thecanadianwitch atta girl and that ain't no hocus pocus either... If he wins we'll have to move Canada away from that hateful closed society that will be worse with that nutjob at the helm; we'll leave Trudeau though theDonald can get himself a selfie, as well
+Lance Duke -- Please get some gammer and punctuation and sense, please!
becarlson before you comment on other people's typos, you should make sure you don't make typos yourself in the reply you post about GRAMMAR.
+Thecanadianwitch -- You are absolutely right! It won't happen again...
Thank you I am not use to being defended, LOL most often I just walk away from those that just offer contempt in a conversation.
But it does look like I gotta fix the post, damn it sux having a reading disability.
A great point of view. I agree with Rex, where the failure of the political class is the biggest contributor to Donald Trumps' election. Yes, many people like him, and his style of politics, but it was a failure of his opponents to do better.
Sometimes elections come down to the least worst candidate, and not the best candidate.
Back when CBC let you comment......
Well said Mr. Murphy.
They should have guys voice talking when Rex comes on saying now Rex is gonna bitch about something random for a few minutes now xD lol
Right on the money Rex.
Rex, I am rereading your diddy on Feb 1/16. If Trump wins Iowa/NHam beginning Roll How would u size things up? Further in light of CBC Face/face w/Justin last note, what say u bout his rank as a monied celeb? Cheers !:-)
Nice pitch, trumpet.
Trump proves that Billions of Dollars still cannot buy him an ounce of class or humility.
+GothamCitySWAT Class &/or humility is not a requirement for a politician to be successful.... or a mayor for that matter
Rex is the steady hand on tiller of a boat crash .
"him and his style" ...
I'm curious, does Rex have any kinder opinions of Trump four years later?
Rex, it sounded like your talking points came from Chris Matthews at Conspiacy TV MS13NBC. But it does say that the American Parties have failed to address our problems here in the US.
Bill gate’s is insane
Rex I think your great. I like trump cause he seemed to care for his people. There should be no money in politics. It should be purer and centered towards the people they are to serve, not there own greedy nature.
Excellent news pice, thank you.
rest in peace.
❤
spot on rex. Maybe Trump can bring the politicians back to the real world. No one spends more wastes more or contributes less than them.
This is the professional journalism that the CBC used to provide. So sad where they are today. :(
Good morning Rex - You have this incredible knack for getting it right every time!
I am in 100% agreement with this! The political system of USA and CANADA is more like sensationalized REALITY TV drama than reality itself. We're in trouble!
There's just one more piece of the puzzle Rex Murphy - it's CBC and other TV channels are the ones that air the political drama to the masses. We can't have one without the other.
Shine the hottest light on what brought all of this into being! EXACTLY!
Only the CBC would ever hire Rex Murphy.
ANd the National Post. Canada's answer to FOX News.
Please Chris Matthew yourswlf
I quite disagree with Rex on his assessment of Trump. His political platform - restricting immigration for the national self-interest of American citizens (regardless of their colour), adopting a bare-knuckled transactional approach to geopolitics to avoid letting respectability erode U.S. interests, ensuring economic individualism, et cetera - is premised on common sense and cold hard logic. In politics and statecraft, subjective feelings, emotions and empathy do not and should not matter; decency and unwritten norms of respectability matter less than clinical effectiveness and a ruthless, relentless drive to win. Such an approach maximises material gain, at the cost of superfluous emotive comfort. The latter is transient and easily malleable, the former is essential to improving lives. It's about time that a politician took on this establishment of complacency and mediocrity, and stopped trying to cast themselves as an average human being. They must be better than average people. Trump represents that ideal and has earned the adoration of millions for it.
What a load of hogwash.
Trump isn't afraid to say what is on his mind. He isn't afraid to says things that a career politician wants to say but don't have the balls to say it. That is what I like about him.
This 3:27 Bite says it all.
Murphy, you're drunk. go home
Did I just hear you right? 1:27.... Respectable politicians. An oxymoron.
So who would u vote for Rex the liars or thieves
How about a whole new set of candidates who aren't churned out by the tired and old political machinery now engaged. It's 2020 at this writing (took me several years to get here) and the DNC in my country has made the worst Presidential ticket choice in their history. The DNC had a chance for easily better candidates and a better ticket of real pragmatic moderates, but no. They chose the worst. And they are going against a ticket I'm not that fond of either. But those tickets are the result, not the problem. And instead of revamping the tickets, let's revamp the DNC and RNC instead. Thank you for listening to the rant of one fed up American.
Trump 2020 bit chezzzzz
is this your view or the CBC view?
Trump Baby
Only in America superficial.
donald 'Von ShitzInPantz'
Rex might say what most people are thinking, but he is a journalist. Even worst he is a journalist paid by canadian taxes. This was not an objective view of the man. Shame on you Rex for not following the first rule of journalism (stay objective). Look I agree with most of what he said, but it should not be said by a journalist of the national. This is a really dangerous path our canadian nationnally founded news is taking. For some years now they started to loose their objectivity. Seriously if you are a journalist of the national take a long big look of what your team is doing. Try to change it, so we have news and not opinions!
After Hitler won the chancellery, democratically, and decimated his opposition, he said "who's laughing now"

+John Lawrence no, all I was alluding to, was that people shouldn't think Trump is just a joke. In Europe, the potential of millions of Muslim 'refugees' flooding in, with their 10+ member families, is going to dramatically alter the base culture of those nations. Trump doesn't want the in the US. If we are concerned about an erosion of the stunning progress made by women, gays, and the freedom religion, we should want a pause in Muslim immigration too.
What a shallow assessment of Trump, Mr. Murphy. Following the same old usual and ordinary talking points of all the mainstream organizations. Way to stick out there sir!
The world is vulgar, especially now. Look at his family, the most non-vulgar bunch of kids you could see, on TV, and I fail to believe it is an act. After all, no drinking, drugs or arrests.
I think when pundits call someone a demigod, they are, like they always are, wrong. That's vulgar, too.
The word he used was demagogue, not demigod
stuffwithben Thanks... not a word I use often, but you know what I meant. It is too easy to throw words like that out there.
Hilary was a terrible candidate that's why.
What ever Rex the martian.
TRUMP FOR PRIME MINISTER!
i dont watch cbc ,,they sucks ,, why ,,i talking about here ,, it came up on youtube ,, i was born in Canada ,, but ,,,i dont ,watch the new on tv ,, because it sucks ,,
Rex Murphy, you sit with Conrad Black and sing a different tune. I thought you might be genuine. then you sit for the CBC and say the complete opposite. You're all mercenary.
I think you mis interpreted this monologue
Youre loosing rexie
Rex was great, until he went super right-wing loopy nutsy. I mourn the old Rex, the new Rex can go to hell AFAIAC
And then he turned out to be the Best President Ever!
Who knew that would happen?
WORST by all measures.
Rex Murphy's segments are embarrassingly overwritten. And he is an ultimate cynic. His segment on reality television is laughable because his monologues are far from reality.
Why is this guy wasting our time talking about Trump, and saying he swamps all the standard candidates.
He
says, "If real politicians had dealt bravely and maturely with (the big
issues) Trump would be squeaking unnoticed in some corner off stage."
Well,
Bernie Sanders is ahead of Trump in polls, EXACTLY because He IS
dealing with the Biggest issues, and yet Murphy doesn't mention him at
all. Instead he keeps shining the light on Trump, while ignoring the one
real Human in the race.
I wonder if Murphy has even heard of Bernie, or just ignores him because he is not a "standard" candidate.
Murphy is a tool.
Bernie, just another polished politically correct, lying politition.
My God, is this man for real. Who does he think he is. His looks alone scare me and his mouth, well that is another thing. He tries to be smug and intelligent but what comes out of his mouth is anything but. Who the hell hired him.
+C Gravelle Well thankfully for us all, his looks have nothing to do with the material he talks about, he has been a Canadian political reporter for several decades and might know a thing or two, I'm pretty sure he "thinks" he is Rex Murphy. Now be a good little God boy and go pray that if Trump is elected that WW3 doesn't start shortly afterwards or else you will get to meet your "God" sooner than you may think.
Rex Murphy is a Rhodes scholar. Just because you’re not smart enough to know what he’s saying, doesn’t mean he’s wrong. Making fun of the way he looks says more about you, than him.
you sound just a little bit jealous rex. maybe its time for you to retire.
This guy is senile, he has no relevance at all.
He dead.
Rex was a goof that did his utmost to undermine the climate catastrophe we find ourselves in today... good riddance. With any luck God willing Conrad Black follows suit and goes down for the dirt nap
