RUSH: This morning on Squawk Box Europe, CNBC, David Murrin, cofounder of Emergent Asset Management, is the guest, and the anchor said, ‘David, you\u2019ve just written a book here called Breaking the Code of History: A Map for the Future. So if we\u2019ve been here before, David, as I think you argue, what goes on after this?\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/a>MURRIN: I think sometimes long-term history impacts the now and we\u2019re in it like a schism, like two tectonic plates that suddenly shift after a hundred years of energy building up. And that\u2019s really the end of the Western Christian empire. It\u2019s bigger than the British empire, the American empire. It\u2019s the sum of all the Christian empires for nearly 900 years. And America is the last one. And when the last one changes and declines, which it\u2019s in, it will be very rapid, it\u2019s the end of the whole system. <\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ve never heard it put that way. The Christian empire, America is the largest part it and is the last one, and when the last one changes and declines, which it\u2019s in, so the American empire is in decline. And this is partly because of the health care bill. So he added this.<\/p>\n

MURRIN: At the same time the system that rises challenges far quicker as it moves into the vacuum created by the old system, and that\u2019s the East. The surprise will be the rate of that change. And we view the new administration in America as new hope. Unfortunately, if you look at historical precedents of underclass and the mechanisms of an underclass actually coming to the fore demographically, it is not new hope, it\u2019s the beginning of the end. And we\u2019re seeing that very quickly take place.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you hear that? Did you understand what this guy said? He said that when the underclass, the mechanisms of an underclass come to the fore demographically. To translate this for you people in Rio Linda and Port St. Lucie, when the poor are expanded and more and more people become poor and become wards of the state, it\u2019s the beginning of the end. When the underclass — that\u2019s a British term, underclass means the poor, it doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re lesser people. When the poor become the dominant group, it\u2019s over, by definition it\u2019s over. Well, do I accept this? I do not accept this yet. I do not believe that it is inevitable, but I do believe that the path we\u2019re on would lead to this if we don\u2019t stop this, absolutely. That\u2019s how it works, Snerdley, if we don\u2019t stop this. We know what history says, that we\u2019re bound to repeat it if we ignore it. Here, he added one more thing to it.<\/p>\n

MURRIN: The refusal of Obama to commit to the missile defense system in Poland was a terrible sign to the adversaries of America, they saw it as weakness. And, in fact, if you look at Chinese policy since and articulation, it\u2019s been far more aggressive and expansive. So the moment that the incumbent shows its inability to project power and use the power it has, the challengers move forward very quickly, 56% of their society is male. In a normal society it\u2019s 51. That\u2019s 5% of extra risk capital and what that means is they are far more risk-orientated than actually a society in the West.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, let me explain that. They\u2019ve got 56% males, which means they got a lot of guys they can afford to lose in battle. And they perceive Obama as weak. And they\u2019re acting on it. And so are the others of our adversaries, see Obama as weak. In other words, this guy is an unmitigated disaster no matter which way you slice it. Again, vindication for your host, El Rushbo, the most dangerous man in America, because I\u2019m right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
