00:01:09.880Poland's prime minister has said that his country will no longer be supplying weapons to Ukraine amid a diplomatic dispute over grain.
00:01:18.340The Biden administration is funding both sides of the war, says that he wants $24 billion for Ukraine.
00:01:26.640And simultaneously, Biden has announced $16 billion that he is allowing to flow into Iran to manufacture drones that the Russian army will in turn use to fight the Ukrainian army.
00:01:41.200When you ask the voters in poll after poll, the most recent poll, two-thirds of Democrats say that they would prefer to see somebody else as the Democratic nominee.
00:01:52.720Only 5% of Americans, 5% say the political system works very or extremely well.
00:02:46.260That means from the men and the women and the children of this country.
00:02:51.220Speaker McCarthy rejected Zelensky's request for another joint appearance, joint summit to Congress.
00:03:04.120He's going to go to the White House later, probably after the show today.
00:03:08.120He's scheduled to be there at 325 Eastern.
00:03:11.400And at that time, he'll be conducting a meeting in the Oval Office with President Biden, but no joint press statement.
00:03:19.360Meanwhile, Poland has come out responding to Zelensky's insult to Poland at the U.N. General Assembly, where he essentially accused Poland of being a Russian actor because Poland said,
00:03:37.280we're not going to be forced to dump all your cheap grain into Polish markets and then ruin the livelihoods of Polish farmers.
00:03:45.160And in fact, Hungary and Slovakia have also banned Ukrainian grain.
00:04:22.120And this is what the Polish president, Andrzej Duda, said yesterday in New York.
00:04:26.660He said, we will not let Poland be destroyed for the sake of saving Ukraine.
00:04:33.560He compared Ukraine to a drowning person who was trying to pull you down with them.
00:04:40.820That's what being a nationalist is all about.
00:04:45.220That's what being a populist is all about.
00:04:47.720It's about standing up for your country first, putting Poland first.
00:04:53.460When is the United States going to understand that?
00:04:59.940When is the United States government, our politicians, going to speak about our country that way, about our borders, about our culture, our language, our traditions, our people?
00:05:20.540We need to spend this money, spend that money.
00:05:22.580We need to be totally focused on the needs of others, on the needs outside the country.
00:05:28.480And that's why billions and billions of dollars more must be sent to people in foreign lands.
00:05:34.920It doesn't mean we don't care about them, but at the same time, when our country is being impoverished while we are building up foreign lands, we ask, why is this happening?
00:05:48.200Well, we're going to look into this because today on the show, in our first interview, we're going to talk all about the Ukrainian baby factories.
00:05:56.920Yes, that's right, the illegal, the black market, and the surrogate industry within Ukraine.
00:06:04.600Did you know Ukraine is the world capital of surrogacy?
00:06:09.120How did this one country, a tiny country on the world stage, become the capital of surrogacy throughout the entire world?

00:08:54.800Yesterday on the show, we broke a story talking about organ harvesting in Ukraine, the video coming directly from a child trafficker who targeted children within Ukraine using a charity called the Heart of Love, the Heart of Love charity operating out of Pachin, which is a city right on the Ukrainian-Slovakian border.
00:09:21.720Now, he also mentioned in part of his video about how surrogacy centers in Ukraine were also targeted for child traffickers and organ traffickers.
00:09:35.280And they would essentially play games with these embryos that were donated from overseas.
00:09:41.560They would tell someone that the embryo hadn't been implanted.
00:09:45.800They would say, oh, thank you for your donation.
00:09:48.280They would say the pregnancy hadn't been successful.
00:09:50.460And then suddenly, the person who was overseas, of course, the donor, would be told that there was no child.
00:09:59.280Well, now there's a child who exists with no paperwork.
00:10:02.760And, of course, they'd tell the surrogate that everything was fine.
00:10:05.760And they would take the baby and say, no, the baby is being sent off.
00:10:09.240Now, this practice has been banned in countries around the world.
00:10:14.720And yet, even in Ukraine, one of the – not the biggest country in the world, not the smallest country, but certainly one of the smaller countries in the world.
00:10:23.740It's a country of a pre-war population of only 40 million.
00:10:26.260Yet, 25% of the world's surrogacy comes out of Ukraine.
00:10:34.920And more and more stories like this are spilling out as the world takes greater notice of what's actually going on there.
00:10:43.940So, in order to help us understand this even more, I wanted to bring on someone who's written for The Federalist, Newsweek, USA Today.
00:10:52.860It's Katie Faust, the founder of Them Before Us.
00:11:01.240I'm grateful that you're shining a light on what is happening through reproductive technologies and the ways that it is harming children because we are looking at not a benevolent nonprofit that's there to help families.
00:11:12.760We are looking at an industry that victimizes children on almost every level.
00:11:17.360Well, and when you say that it victimizes children, let's take a step back before we go all the way down to it because what is it about Ukraine?
00:11:33.440Why has it become this world capital of the surrogacy industry?
00:11:38.040Well, the baby-making industry is always looking to cut costs.
00:11:42.620You need three things if you're going to manufacture a child in a laboratory.
00:11:45.980You need a sperm, you need an egg, and you need a womb.
00:11:49.640Sperm is pretty easy to get to and pretty cheap.
00:11:52.820Eggs, more expensive, a little more cumbersome to access, but, you know, through hormone injections and laparoscopic extractions, we've been able to figure out how to do that.
00:12:03.940That is the most expensive part of the baby-making assembly process.
00:12:08.160And so big fertility is always in search of cheaper and more available wombs.
00:12:12.600And they tend to find that in areas where women are more economically.
00:12:16.280Vulnerable, you know, places like third-world countries.
00:12:20.080Oftentimes, these smaller Asian countries would open their doors to the big fertility industry because they had women who wanted to pay for their kids' school fees or help pay them mortgage or cost of housing or whatever it was.
00:12:32.020And so they would rent out their bodies for a year.
00:12:34.040They were desperate, economically desperate, and they put themselves in these compromising situations as a result.
00:12:39.780But then what we saw is countries like Nepal, India, Cambodia, Thailand would open their doors to big fertility.
00:12:45.840And within a couple years, they would shut them out because they said, what is happening to our women and to the children is nothing short than trafficking.
00:12:52.720And so that is why surrogacy is banned across much of the world because it is considered a violation of human rights.
00:13:04.300So some of these instances that I've talked about, and again, I'm hearing this from the side of actually a human trafficker.
00:13:12.740That's what even got me to this question of surrogacy because we talked about, of course, you know, displaced children from refugee centers or refugee camps or just families trying to flee the war, being caught up, being separated from parents, and then falling into the hands of traffickers.
00:13:30.180But then you got one of these guys who's behind bars, and I'm sure you, I know you read the article that we posted yesterday, and then he's the one who actually said we also have targets or we have partnerships with some levels of these baby factories, these surrogacy centers.
00:13:48.720And that's why I wanted to speak with you today because I didn't even realize that this industry was so completely unregulated.
00:13:58.080And let me, like, frame this as somebody who used to be the assistant director at the largest Chinese adoption agency in the world.
00:14:04.820I was responsible for ensuring that our agency was in compliance with international, federal, and state laws as it related to the child's best interest in adoption.
00:14:14.960Now, we have layers and layers of best practice globally, nationally, and on the state level to ensure that children who have been disconnected from their mother or father are not trafficked, are not abused, are not placed in risky households.
00:14:27.140Like, we have so many layers of screening because we understand that when children are separated from their biological parents, they are vulnerable.
00:14:35.060And now what we have going on in the big fertility world is the intentional separation of children from their parents with none of the screenings, vettings, background checks, post-placement reports required in the adoption world.
00:14:48.080Further, one of the main problems with big fertility is that it violates the gold standard, one of the greatest red lines never to cross in adoption, which is, in adoption, you never have direct payments from the adoptive parents to the birth parents, to the genetic parents.
00:15:04.960If you do that, you immediately step into the world of child trafficking.
00:15:10.000And so if money makes its way to the birth mother or the birth family, you're no longer adopting a child.
00:15:17.260But that is actually what big fertility is built on.
00:15:20.060It is built on direct payments to the genetic father, built on direct payments to the genetic mother, built on direct payments to the birth mother.
00:15:27.320This is categorically child trafficking, even if the baby ends up going to a loving heterosexual couple.
00:15:34.080What we're doing in the world of big fertility violates all of the norms that we have spent decades establishing in the world of adoption.
00:15:41.560Both of these areas are dealing with very, very vulnerable children.
00:15:45.540One of them is seeking to protect their rights.
00:15:47.420The other one is violating their rights.
00:15:52.140And we should mention as well, how lucrative is this industry?
00:15:57.320Well, it's growing by leaps and bounds.
00:16:00.220You know, a lot of times we don't have the data on much of what's happening.
00:16:09.500A lot of times they're not registered.
00:16:11.840Even if they are registered, they're not registered with factual information.
00:16:15.180We now have entire governments that are falsifying children's birth certificates.
00:16:18.600And instead of putting the genetic parents on the birth certificates, they're putting the commissioning parents on the birth certificate of the child.
00:16:25.560We don't know how much these agencies are making.
00:16:27.860We don't know what happens to the children that are unused, discarded, donated.
00:16:32.180A lot of times fertility companies won't even tell us what they're doing with the unused embryos.
00:16:37.520There are virtually no limitations, no record keeping, no tracking on what's happening in this very lucrative industry.
00:16:43.900It's now up to about $14 billion, but every year it increases exponentially.
00:16:50.420You know, I've got these Google surrogacy reports, and it's always like global surrogacy market expected to expand to $30 billion in the next 10 years.
00:16:57.700And, I mean, this is a money-hungry industry.
00:17:01.520This is not a benevolent organization trying to help people have families.
00:17:05.100It looks like that on the surface, but that's not what surrogacy is.
00:17:08.140Surrogacy is on-demand, designer babies shipped worldwide, and they make a bank load of money doing it.
00:17:14.500So we're talking $14 billion just in Ukraine.
00:17:22.740And at the same time, they're making children in these factories, some of them which, you know, and we've got some of the promotional pictures here,
00:17:32.620but this promotional footage does not always reflect the actual reality.
00:17:39.060These are run-down apartment buildings, in some cases bomb shelters where these kids are being held, and then they're forced to be kept there.
00:17:47.560Plus, if you've got shady characters like this individual, Denis Vassil, who was arrested in Ukraine,
00:17:57.280he's telling us that for some of these kids, because there's no paperwork for them,
00:18:02.420or they'll claim that the pregnancy was a failure, et cetera, that they are taking them and then putting them into more nefarious needs.
