  Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Bitches, you can call me the donkey
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of the day, but like I mean, no harm. Donkey
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of to Day for Tuesday, November twenty nine goals to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Balencia Yaga. Now, I usually don't discuss things I can't
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: afford are barely pronounced, but we need to discuss this
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: because the reality is I don't know how this happened
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: or why it happened, but there's some sick ass humans
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: among us, and they're projecting their fetishes and agendas on
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to us. We the people. Now, if you missed it
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: because you don't pay attention to things outside of your salary,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I understand, but let me explain to you. Luxury fashion
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: house Balencia Yaga has apologized for featuring children cuddling Teddy
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Bears dressed in bondage gear and his latest advertising campaign. Yes,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: they had young kids with Teddy Bear bags dressed in
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: what looked like BDSM inspired outfits. One child is pictured
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: with an assortment of empty wine glasses. And if you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: have any doubt on what they were trying to tell
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: folks with this ad, and ask yourself why the ad
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: also featured court documents that mentioned virtual child porn. Now
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: everyone from Fox News is Tucker Carlson to Ben Shapiro
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to everyday folks on social media had something to say.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Are they accused Blind Yaga being groomer's sexualizing children and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: producing child pornography? Some folks on social media pointed out
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: demonic elements like blacked out eyes in the name of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the demon ball bow Balls that up pronounced that right now,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Blind Yaga has apologized. But what I find more interesting
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: is that they are assuming the production company that designed
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the set, North six Incorporated, and the set designer, Nicholas
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: des Jardins. Now, I don't know Nicholas des Jardin's but man,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I think he needed to be investigated, Okay, at the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: least questioned about why he thought this was a good idea.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Can we check his computer history and see what's in
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: those cookies? And was he using said cookies to lure
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: little children? All valid questions based off this ad campaign,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: But the nerve of Valenciaga okay to suit a production
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: company for twenty five million dollars. What are he's suing for?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: They are suing because of the paperwork about a Supreme
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Court ruling on child pornography that was identified and one
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of their images. Can we go to Good Morning America
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: for the report police this morning fashion house. Valenciaga a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: favorite of stars like Kim Kardashian and celebrated in songs
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: by Lizzo, Belifussy, walking in Mobliss and party beans. I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: like the facing backlash. Accused of sexualizing children in a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: controversial new ad campaign. The luxury brands now apologizing for
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: these photos showing little girls in Balenciaga sweatsuits with plush
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: bears and what appeared to be Bdshim inspired harnesses. And
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: these uncovered documents on the desk showing an excerpt from
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight US Supreme Court opinion usv. Williams,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: which upheld the criminalization of pandering of child pornography. We
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: sincerely apologize for any offense our holiday campaign may have caused.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Our plush beare bags should not have been featured with
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: children in this campaign. Critics sounding off on social media.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I understand that that a lot of Balenciaga's marketing is
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the shock factor of it all, but this is just disgusting.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: M Lenciaga. I know you think that maybe since the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: average person can't afford to buy your stuff, that maybe
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that makes us slower than those who can't. But this
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: paperwork is just one piece of this campaign. What about
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the BDSM inspired outfits? What about the empty wine glasses?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: You're telling me this production company showed you all of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: this and you signed off on it, But the paperwork
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: about childhorn was too far Blindiaga said all the items
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: included in this shooting were provided by third parties that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: confirmed in writing that these props were fake office documents.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: They turned out to be real legal papers, most likely
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: coming from the filming of a TV drama. Balenciaga, what
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the hell are y'all talking about? What does it matter
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: if the documents were fake? A real okay? Why were
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: y'all okay with an ad campaign that sexualizes children, right,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that's the question, right. The court filing is alleged that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: because of the production company's actions, members of the public,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: including the news media, have falsely and horrifically associated Balenciaga
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: with the repulsive and deeply disturbing subject of the court decision,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and it should be held liable for all all harm
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: resulting from the false accusation. Now, this is why Belinciaga
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is getting donkey today, because an attorney for Nicholas des
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Jardon said in an email statement to CNN that there
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: certainly was no malevolent scheme, malevolent scheme going on, and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: representatives from Balenciaga were president at the shoot, overseeing it
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and handling papers and props, and des Jardon, as a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: set designer, was not responsible for an image selection from
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the shoot. In fact, the production company said they did
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not have creative input our control over the shoot, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they were not on set during the final set arrangements.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you all a question, nor six, do
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you think this makes any of this better? After you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: found out what the theme of an ad campaign was,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: why would you choose to still do it? Okay, But
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: lends Yaka says, as it continues with its own investigation.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It has taken accountability for its lack of oversight and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: control of the campaign images. Look, man, everybody here is
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: full of it. Okay, as far as I'm concerned, all
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: these people are sick. There's nothing artistic about sexualizing children.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Who are you catering to pedophiles? Okay? We are living
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in a world that is literally trying to normalize the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: worst of human behaviors. And I know an apology with issue,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: but where is the investigation? Don't you think when a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: company of this magnitude does something like this there should
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: be a larger investigation because how did how did this
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: get past so many people? And why were so many
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: people okay with this? I don't care how progressive this
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: country gets or how tolerant of other lifestyles there is.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You know, there's just no way in hell we're about
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to make pedophilia thing, all right. We've not about to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: condone the sexualization of children. I don't know what the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: punishment for Valencia Yaga should because I don't wear it anyway,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: but we shouldn't just look past this. Please give, please,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: let remy mark give Balencia Yaga and this production company
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: North six, the biggest he ha he ha he ha,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you stupid mother, Are you dumb? Alright? There should be
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: some type of larger investigation into this, don't you think?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely and so many adults thought this was just okay
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to do, absolutely all right, Well, thank you for that
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: donkey today
