Not every European headline makes it across the Atlantic, but the intense domestic debate now blazing in the United Kingdom over the nation’s future relationship with the European Union has surely come to the attention of even casual observers. Brexit has been a regular part of the news cycle for three years now. Fifty-two percent of Britons who went to the polls on June 23, 2016, for an unprecedented national referendum voted to leave the European Union. Several months later then-Prime Minister Theresa May initiated the formal withdrawal process after the UK Parliament passed legislation empowering her to do so. Yet there is still much uncertainty about what the twice-extended withdrawal date of October 31 will hold. What is certain is that the British public is as fractured as the Parliament is deeply divided. Given that this is primarily a UK domestic issue, and at its most broad a European issue, should Americans even be concerned? Yes, absolutely.

On June 23, 2016, Britain voted to exit the European Union, but since then, Members of Parliament have repeatedly delayed Brexit. While Prime Minister Boris Johnson is now fighting to keep Britain's leave from the EU on schedule, establishment MPs are committed to ignoring the democratic voice of the British people. Rev. Richard Turnbull, director of The Center for Enterprise, Markets, and Ethics, helps explain the chaos surrounding recent events unfolding in Parliament and what the future likely holds for Brexit. On the second segment, Christopher Scalia, eighth child of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, joins the podcast to talk about a book on his father's faith, titled "On Faith: Lessons from an American Believer."
