So after chasing off censorship from the last bastion of free speech, we've got another 15 minutes.
So let's begin by talking about Hillary Clinton.
More specifically, the women who are not supporting Hillary Clinton, which is apparently most young women.
Apparently, Hillary got a very small percentage of the 18 to 29 vote.
Now, I personally would put that down to millennial men and women being very politically and socially aware.
They spend a lot of time doing online activism against capitalism.
And so when you have a consistent socialist like Bernie Sanders, he unsurprisingly attracts more of their attention than the candidate who has been funded their entire career by Wall Street.
But if you're an out-of-touch old feminist, you might say something like, young women support Sanders to attract men.
So she was on real time with Bill Maher and she said, when you're young, you're thinking, where are the boys?
The boys are with Bernie.
Which seems like a bafflingly anti-feminist statement to make.
Just, I mean, like, what kind of low opinion of women must you have to think that they are literally just drawn to Bernie Sanders because young men tend to support Bernie Sanders.
I mean, it's not like young women could have looked at his policies and been like, you know, I agree with those.
That's a guy who represents my principles.
Maybe I'll vote for him.
No, no, it's the feminist obsession with the vagina showing forth.
Gloria thinks, well, they're thinking with their vaginas.
All the boys are over there.
They're thinking, well, obviously that's where my vagina needs to be.
That must be the explanation for why young women are not voting for Hillary Clinton, even though they know she has a vagina and they also have a vagina.
I mean, where's the solidarity, damn it?
Why don't they listen to Madeleine Albright?
A lot of you younger women don't think you have to, it's been done.
It's not done.
And you have to help.
Hillary Clinton will always be there for you.
And just remember, there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other.
What a hilarious joke.
But the threat of damnation may well be the reason women are voting for Bernie Sanders.
It might be because they are incredibly religious and that Gloria Steinem made Bernie Sanders an honorary woman.
Actually, I'm only here today to make Bernie Sanders an honorary woman.
Honestly, with material this good, I can't believe they skipped over careers and comedy.
Much like Donald Trump, who has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his vigorous peace through strength ideology.
I mean, I get the idea, but it's kind of counterintuitive.
So I can't say this to the straight face.
On Tuesday, it emerged that Trump's name had reportedly made it onto a list of nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I mean, I knew it was fucking worthless after Obama, but this is just amazing.
Trump's reported nomination comes after he made a number of inflammatory and divisive comments in the run-up to the caucus.
The billionaire business magnate enraged millions by proposing Muslims be banned from entering the US and has been condemned for his comments about immigration and Mexican migrants.
One of the most infamous pledges being to build a big, beautiful wall between the US and Mexico.
And who's gonna pay for it?
Mexico!
Look, these aren't acts of war, you fucks!
They are actually going to prevent violence.
They're fucking awful, but they are actually going to do what they say on the tin.
You can't...
Like we found earlier, segregation is definitely the answer in some cases.
And apparently fucking war with Mexico.
I don't know if I can keep doing this.
I think this is going to turn me retarded.
Okay, I've calmed down a bit now, but I really, really want Donald Trump to win that Nobel Prize.
You know, I didn't even, I didn't even double-check the article just in case it turned out it's fake, and if it's fake, I'm gonna cry.
I want Donald Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Let's make the Nobel Peace Prize great again.
Come on, we can do this.
So I think the fun and games are over as we come down to talk about some actual serious business, which would be the ongoing migrant crisis in Europe.
The women of Cologne kick off a carnival amid heavy police presence.
Hugs, kisses, and singing mark street festivities held in the aftermath of the New Year's Eve sexual assault incidents.
So this carnival is apparently a traditional day of misrule, during which women are allowed to ambush men to cut off their ties.
The Women's Carnival, or... Fuck off, just... Weiber Fastnacht is seen by many female partikers as a symbolic movement of emancipation, even if men in high heels and miniskirts are now a regular sight.
But apparently there's been a shadow over these carnival celebrations, with the German city stepping up security measures for a five-day festival after hundreds of women reported being assaulted there on New Year's Eve.
For those who don't remember, on New Year's Eve in 2015, there were about 600 reports of women being sexually abused or molested or raped by men of Arab or North African origin.
But we have been assured by the feminist media this is absolutely no different to what German men are like.
In fact, gender men are more like this because there are more of them in Germany.
So if anything, this is all German men's fault.
This year, Cologne police have doubled their usual presence at the carnival to about 2,000 officers, some of whom will wear body cameras.
Which is weird considering that there's no problem with the migrants.
I mean, we've been told so often that there is no problem with the migrants that I don't see why you would need to double the police presence at any future carnivals.
I just don't understand it.
Cologne has released guidelines for women participating in carnival festivities, advising them to stay away from individuals who make them uncomfortable.
Traveling groups, avoid consuming alcohol alone, and in the event of attack, muster up all your rage, scream and fight back with determination.
This is of course nothing to do with the migrant crisis.
This is probably something that the German authorities were going to be putting out to German women years ago to deal with the depredations of German men.
It's a giant coincidence.
Women have the right to move freely and without danger in public spaces.
It is not the responsibility of women to protect themselves against sexual assaults either by the way they dress or by avoiding appearing in public.
See, this is advice that's clearly aimed at your average native German man.
He doesn't understand how not to rape women in public, and therefore he actually has to be instructed on what to do.
And it would really behoove German men to remember that if you do it right and you do it good, you're charming and nice and not pushing, you might have success with women.
This is no guarantee, no enforceable right, and no promise for a marriage.
Oh yeah, because that's the reason.
That's the reason any of this happens.
It's because people don't realize that they're not actually entitled to have sex with anything that they want to have sex with, and that consent is actually a thing we use in the West in order to maintain other people's human rights.
And what do you know, it worked.
Doubling the police presence kept the number of sexual assaults reported down to a measly 22.
The officers are refusing to discuss the ethnicity of those arrested at the street festival, describing them as a cross-section of the general public, so probably mostly German men then.
But police did say that the number of sex attacks on the first night of the carnival was higher than at last year's event.
But you know, the 2,500 police officers who had deployed to the week-long events is surely a burden on the taxpayer that they are willing to pay.
It's, you know, it's fine, there's no problem there at all.
And so you've really got to wonder why the small channel island of Guernsey is so damn Islamophobic.
They're so fucking Islamophobic, they're not going to take any migrants at all.
Literally, Islamophobia among Guernsey residents was partly behind the island's decision not to accept refugees, its chief minister has said.
Jonathan, whatever, has said that negativity would make it difficult to guarantee the safety of any Syrian refugees on the island.
I can't believe the balls on this guy, right?
Literally, it's like, well, we would accept Syrian migrants, but honestly, a lot of people in Guernsey hate Muslims.
They just hate them.
They hate you.
Islamophobic is what I would describe them as.
And honestly, I think they might kill them.
I mean, they might, like, execute them in the street or something.
I can't guarantee their safety.
They might push them into the ocean, whatever.
But basically, it's not going to be safe for Syrian migrants to come to Guernsey.
So we're just not going to accept it.
It's for your own good.
And the other major channel island of Jersey has already confirmed that it will not take in any Syrian refugees either.
Presumably by just giving a slow shake of the head.
And probably because they've been reading the papers.
Iraqi migrant rapes a 10-year-old boy at a swimming pool in Vienna and tells police that it was a sexual emergency because he hadn't had sex in months.
So a 10-year-old boy was so brutally raped by an Iraqi migrant that he had to be hospitalized for his injuries.
The lifeguard immediately called the ambulance after the boy reported to him while the Iraqi was entertaining himself by repeatedly jumping off the 3-meter diving board.
And when interrogated, he told the police that it was a sexual emergency as he had not had sex in four months.
Does this story strike you as incongruous or is it just me?
He told the police that he knew it was a mistake and did not mean to scar the boy, but he could not help himself as he had an excess sexual energy.
So instead of getting a prostitute or, I don't know, raping a woman, you decided to rape a 10-year-old boy.
So I don't normally feature articles that are just someone has done something terrible to someone else, and there is a horrible, horrible victim narrative going on here.
I'm actually featuring this one because it's a migrant, and I'm doing it not because I'm trying to say that all migrants are like this, but I don't think this is very representative of any migrants.
Like the guy says, he knows he's sick, and he's got a wife and kid back in Iraq.
He just apparently has something wrong with his brain.
What I'm saying is, while I agree that there is definitely problems with women in Islam, this guy raping a young boy isn't necessarily indicative of that.
It's more indicative of problems with this guy.
So more than a month after the cologne attacks, feminists are now brave enough to write about why they weren't brave enough to write about the cologne attacks closer to when they happened.
And I'd like to thank the New Statesman for making feminists look like a bunch of self-obsessed narcissists who are too cowardly to stand by their own principles.
One of my favourite things about this is how feminists have suddenly rediscovered their own skepticism when it comes to whether women can tell the truth or not.
Women reported a string of sexual assaults in the German city on New Year's Eve, with many of the perpetrators said to have been, quote, Arab or North African origin.
This story became inextricably linked to Europe's debate about refugees.
Well, why would that be?
I mean, there's no doubt that something awful happened that night.
On the 18th of January, a 26-year-old Algerian asylum seeker became the first person arrested over the sexual assault.
I don't know why it's extremely linked to the debate about refugees then.
And don't forget to be doubly skeptical of any 13-year-old girls who claim to have been kidnapped and raped by Middle Eastern migrants, because they may have been making it up to avoid being punished for skipping school.
These are typical feminist positions.
And it's really weird that the men's rights activists, whose usual response to the allegations of sexual assault is disbelief, and yet in the case of Cologne, they've become instant converts to hashtag I believe her, whereas we've abandoned it completely.
Why?
Because this allows them to implicitly reproach Western feminists for not seeming grateful enough for men, allowing them the freedoms they currently enjoy.
In this way, women's ability to walk safely in the public is cast not as a fundamental right, but as a special privilege nobly granted to them by European men.
That's right.
It's not because in, say, the case of, I don't know, the Jackie Rolling Stone case that nothing happened, and so people were like, why aren't you being skeptical about this?
And in the case of Cologne, 600 women reported sexual assaults and rapes, and as you said, something obviously happened that night.
It's not that there was a difference in these cases or anything.
It's because men's rights activists are just looking for a reason to pillory feminists.
It's not that the migrant crisis has exposed a major flaw in intersectional feminist ideology.
It's not that you guys have dropped the fucking ball in attempting to defend women's rights.
When you were actually presented with what you would describe as a rape culture, you're fucking silent.
And when you finally do come to speak on the issue, it is apologia and pointing the finger at the scary MRAs who are actually out there protesting over the assaults of women.
You're fucking disgraceful.
You are absolutely fucking disgraceful.
You're a bunch of vapid, self-interested narcissists who literally do not care about women's rights, but you do care about your own position.
That's what it is.
As a feminist, I'm opposed to all sexual harassment.
Oh yeah, I forgot.
All rapes matter.
That means we don't have to talk about any rapes.
Especially not a bunch of rapes committed by Middle Eastern men against European women because many of these men actually hold ideas that feminists have spent years convincing themselves Western men hold.
I know, why didn't we talk about white supremacists?
That's a good idea.
I mean, there weren't any white supremacists in Cologne or Stockholm or any of the other cities where this was taking place.
I mean, at least they weren't the ones doing the rapes and molestations, but let's talk about them anyway because they're a convenient boogeyman.
In fact, let's start a hashtag called Not Your Woman and instruct them specifically not to protect us if we're being raped by immigrants.
That's literally where Swedish feminists are at this point.
They would rather be raped than you be a racist.
I mean, that is unbelievable commitment to the cause.
You've got to give them a fucking round of applause.
I would rather someone be a racist than get raped.
But you know, that's just me.
I'm fucking backwards that way.
I'm not your woman.
I don't want your protection.
You're the ones making me scared, worried, angry, and sad.
And so now I'm put in the horrible position by feminists where I have more in common with the fascist right than I do the modern feminist movement.
