On his show Monday, nationally syndicated radio talk show host Mark Levin commented on the U.K. voting to leave the European Union, saying that Brexit “would be akin to us embracing Article V.”
“[T]hey broke away because they wanted their sovereignty,” Levin said. “This would be akin to us embracing Article Five, embracing convention of the states, and saying to the people in Washington, D.C., ‘No, you don’t get to make these decisions. We get to make these decisions.’”
Below is a transcript of Levin’s remarks:
“Sovereignty. Sovereignty.
“We have to defend our Constitution from politicians who attempt to confer our constitutional powers on international organizations, the U.N. and a whole long list.
“Global governance is what we reject, not capitalism.
“You know who else rejects capitalism? The European Union. You know who else rejects capitalism? Barack Obama. You know who else rejects capitalism? Every fascistic, communist, statist regime on the face of the earth.
“And do you know why they reject capitalism? Because capitalism is the antidote to centralized government.
“It’s true.
“If you support capitalism, you’re not a globalist. You’re a believer in freedom, a believer in freedom.
“The E.U., the Left in our country, the Left in every country, the Left in Britain—let’s not pretend Britain all the sudden is a republic, free of all the tangling, all the tangle from bureaucracy and all that. No, it’s a socialist country. They have socialist healthcare. They have their own problems.
“But they broke away because they wanted their sovereignty. This would be akin to us embracing Article V, embracing convention of the states, and saying to the people in Washington, D.C., ‘No, you don’t get to make these decisions. We get to make these decisions.’”
