This interview is a transcript of last weekend’s interview with Godfrey Bloom. It has been slightly edited for clarity:
Jeff Deist: Godfrey Bloom, thank you so much for joining us this weekend. I have to get right into this because I’m seeing today that the “remain” camp appears to be using this tragedy of this bizarre stabling of a labor MP yesterday or the day before yesterday to generate support against the “leave” folks. Do you think this will work?
It had been a peaceful night in Europe where all the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the children are above average. Martin woke up on his EU regulated bed and looked through his EU regulated window. This night, Martin had slept like a baby thanks to the 109 EU regulations concerning pillows, the 5 EU regulations concerning pillow cases, and the 50 EU laws regulating duvets and sheets. Martin went to brush his teeth with his toothbrush regulated by 31 EU laws.
Today Janet Yellen came before the Senate Banking Committee to answer questions following last week’s announcement that the Fed will keep the Federal funds rate steady in light of May’s devastating job numbers.

What national boundaries can be considered as just? In the first place, it must be recognized that there are no just national boundaries per se; that real justice can only be founded on the property rights of individuals. If fifty people decided voluntarily to set up an organization for common services or self-defense of their persons and properties in a certain geographical area, then the boundaries of that association, based on the just property rights of the members, will also be just.
On 23 June 2016, the people of Great Britain will vote whether to stay in the European Union (EU) or leave it.
The pro-EU camp argues that leaving the EU will cost Britain dearly in terms of economic prosperity, financial stability, and domestic security. In fact, people are being told that exiting the EU will bring dismal times to Britain.

Last weekend’s horrific terrorist attack in Orlando dominated the headlines this week, another example of how government can’t be trusted to keep us safe. Predictably, politicians shamelessly jumped on the tragedy to try to curtail gun rights, ignoring the fact that homicides are at a 51-year low.
