00:00:00.000 Modern women are waiting far too long to have children. 1.00
00:00:03.700 In 2025, we have women entertaining the thought of having kids in their late 30s to mid 40s. 0.95
00:00:11.180 In a quest to be a boss babe and have it all, studies show that a woman's chance of getting pregnant drops to 20% after 35 and 5% after 40. 1.00
00:00:21.120 Do any of the stats about infertility and age matter to women? 0.56
00:00:25.200 The answer is no.
00:00:26.720 They are going to keep going to high-priced institutions to get degrees that no one cares about, to jobs that aren't going to make them any money, to put themselves into a bunch of debt that they're going to have to pay off the rest of their lives.
00:00:39.960 So what do these women turn to when they've smashed into the wall and they want to have a kid and they're having fertility problems? 1.00
00:00:49.200 IVF.
00:00:49.680 In 2022, nearly 100,000 babies were born with the help of in vitro fertilization.
00:00:56.140 Babies born using IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies grew by almost 50% from 2012 to 2022.
00:01:05.780 Women under the age of 35 have a live birth success rate of 55%.
00:01:15.040 The success rate per cycle drops to below 40 between the ages of 35 to 40 and below 10% after the age of 40.
00:01:26.920 IVF doubles the chance of success for giving birth.
00:01:30.680 Men have hacked fertility, but it is at a cost. 0.99
00:01:34.740 The average cost of IVF is between $12,000 to $17,000 per cycle.
00:01:40.600 If you look at social media, you see all of the success stories from IVF.
00:01:45.200 I mean, women that have finally had their miracle baby after years of trying. 0.92
00:01:49.940 But we never get to hear about the horror stories of IVF, the people that had some type of complication or traumatic experience.
00:01:58.840 That's what we're going to talk about on today's show.
00:02:00.920 I wanted to start by talking about that Kanye West tweet.
00:02:04.740 I wanted to start by talking about the tweet Kanye West put out the other day that got everyone upset.
00:02:10.760 So we got Kanye over here.
00:02:13.560 So is this real?
00:02:15.560 Beyonce fans lash out at Kanye West over his disturbing comments on her kids.
00:02:21.680 Amid his many, many disturbing tweets on social media,
00:02:25.120 on the social media platform X.
00:02:27.920 Ye, a rapper formerly known as Kanye West, took a swing at Jay-Z and Beyonce and their twin kids, Rumi and Sir Carter.
00:02:36.460 Kanye, who has been going on more frequent rants targeting various stars, has long been under fire on social media.
00:02:44.800 Kanye West targeted Jay-Z and Beyonce's seven-year-old twins in his latest posts on X.
00:02:50.420 So as you guys know, Kanye's the type of guy, he says what everyone's thinking.
00:02:55.500 He has, I have never seen someone as unfiltered as Kanye.
00:02:59.680 So there's Jay-Z and Beyonce.
00:03:02.960 As if dragging the names of artists including Cardi B, Iggy, Kendrick Lamar and Playboy Cardi through the mud wasn't enough,
00:03:11.600 Ye has now targeted former friend and longtime collaborator Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce's family.
00:03:18.200 Speaking about the couple's seven-year-old twins, Ye wrote,
00:03:23.020 has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyonce's younger kids?
00:03:26.960 They're, that's why artificial insemination is such a blessing. 0.99
00:03:32.140 Having kids is a choice.
00:03:34.800 He shared with his 33 million followers on Tuesday, March 18th.
00:03:39.980 So there's him smiling, not caring at all.
00:03:43.320 And there are the children.
00:03:44.700 The posts quickly went viral and were reported for bullying by several users.
00:03:50.820 Ye eventually took down the tweets, but it didn't take long for him to follow up in another post.
00:03:56.120 I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay-Z and Beyonce's family down
00:04:00.260 because there was the possibility of my Twitter being canceled, not because I'm a good person, he shared.
00:04:06.900 Wow, thank you.
00:04:08.260 I took it down like Down syndrome.
00:04:10.980 Get it? 0.98
00:04:11.560 F the world, F everybody. 0.59
00:04:13.140 The rapper added.
00:04:15.020 So this is the tweet right there. 0.52
00:04:17.600 At least Jay-Z and Beyonce get to raise their red-ass kids, okay? 0.90
00:04:23.820 And YouTube, he's saying this.
00:04:25.360 I'm just reading it, all right?
00:04:27.380 The disturbing comments came just a month after the rapper went on a full-on rant,
00:04:32.260 a streak deemed by many to be homophobic, anti-Semitic, fatphobic, sexist, and racist.
00:04:37.740 At the time, Kanye claimed the public backlash for these posts helped his merchandise sales skyrocket. 0.98
00:04:45.520 No matter how you feel about Beyonce, this is disgusting.
00:04:48.360 Not to mention, he put his own daughter on a song with Diddy. 1.00
00:04:51.440 He's clearly mentally deranged. 0.98
00:04:54.100 That's what the people are saying.
00:04:55.380 Now, not long after Ye's posts, online users and Beyonce's dedicated fan base, Beehive,
00:05:03.880 quickly rushed to clap back at the notorious rapper.
00:05:08.140 One user joked about Kanye West and Jay-Z's iconic album, Watch the Throne, saying,
00:05:14.020 Don't guess, Watch the Throne 2 isn't coming out.
00:05:22.540 A fan wrote, Kanye and his years-long obsession with Beyonce referencing Kanye West's iconic stunt.
00:05:29.060 At 2009, VMAs where the rapper jumped on stage after Taylor Swift bested Beyonce, saying,
00:05:35.260 Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you. I'll let you finish.
00:05:38.080 But Beyonce has one of the greatest, or has one of the best videos of all time.
00:05:42.600 Somebody take all of his devices, please.
00:05:45.900 Another joked, Beyonce letting every single person know she knows to stop working in any shape or form with Kanye and it's over.
00:05:54.100 Other mentioned the recent conspiracy theories that linked Beyonce and Jay-Z to Diddy's corrupt use of power in the entertainment industry.
00:06:02.580 Okay.
00:06:03.300 So, the rest of the article is just, um, obviously everyone getting mad.
00:06:07.600 You know, they're getting upset with Ye.
00:06:10.360 So, all right.
00:06:12.240 Now, was this tweet in bad taste?
00:06:14.940 Yeah.
00:06:15.460 But does he have a point?
00:06:16.980 We see Blue Ivy all the time, but we've never seen the twins.
00:06:20.740 Ever.
00:06:21.840 Do they have developmental delays?
00:06:24.960 Is this, is that why we don't see them in public?
00:06:28.040 Remember, Beyonce and Jay-Z had their twins through IVF.
00:06:32.420 Beyonce was 29 when she had Blue Ivy and 35 when she had her set of twins, Sir and Rumi.
00:06:39.320 Too many modern women are choosing IVF as a family planning method. 1.00
00:06:44.300 They are relying on an industry lightly regulated to give them a child.
00:06:48.960 They are foregoing building relationships with men and marriage for career and hopefully having enough money and resources to pay for something as expensive as IVF. 0.98
00:06:59.680 It is only recently that we see and hear about some of the horror stories that some couples have gone through IVF have experienced.
00:07:09.020 I saw this article that tells multiple stories about complications that people have experienced with IVF.
00:07:14.940 Why don't we take a look?
00:07:16.940 No, I think she didn't have IVF at 29. 0.95
00:07:19.400 I think it was 35.
00:07:20.860 Okay.
00:07:21.620 Another IVF nightmare.
00:07:23.460 Patients have few protections.
00:07:25.680 Christina Murray realized something had gone awry in her in vitro fertilization process immediately after giving birth.
00:07:33.980 She is white, as was her chosen sperm donor, who had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, but her baby was dark-skinned.
00:07:41.660 He was beautiful and perfect, but it was very clear that something was wrong, she said.
00:07:46.720 I hoped it was just a sperm mix-up.
00:07:49.140 The IVF process has been grueling.
00:07:51.240 Murray, now 38, has ensured multiple daily injections, frequent blood draws, bouts of nausea and exhaustion, a first embryo transfer that didn't take, and finally pregnancy and labor.
00:08:03.120 Then, a DNA test revealed that the Georgia Fertility Clinic Murray had used had implanted a different couple's embryo in her uterus.
00:08:13.620 After raising the baby for five months, Murray, heartbroken, handed him over to the biological parents.
00:08:21.540 So, she gave birth to a child that wasn't hers.
00:08:25.360 Oh, I would be so pissed.
00:08:26.860 Oh, I would be done.
00:08:27.760 We all met in court, and the decision was made, she said.
00:08:30.840 I walked in, a mom and a child and a baby who loved me and was mine and was attached to me, and I walked out of the building with an empty stroller, and they left with my son.
00:08:41.760 She sued the clinic last month.
00:08:44.840 White women love doing the sperm donor thing. 1.00
00:08:47.720 I think we're the highest earning other than Asian. 1.00
00:08:50.900 So, we're the ones with the money for the dumb shit, right? 0.99
00:08:54.580 Like, that's, do you know what? 1.00
00:08:56.720 We, we're all different races of women, and not all, I'm speaking in generalities, we just have different tools of how we're crazy, right? 1.00
00:09:05.620 You know, like, you see the black women in the news, and not all, not all, but like, you know, they're throwing hands or whatever, and you see that a lot, right? 1.00
00:09:14.340 White women, we just sign up for dumb shit. 1.00
00:09:17.720 So, like, if you see a kid that's transitioned, that's getting transitioned, right, guarantee, it's a white woman doing it. 1.00
00:09:25.480 If you see, like, a kid, like, I'm gonna raise my kid non-binary, it's white, like, we have the money for those gender clinics or whatever it is. 1.00
00:09:34.320 And the IVF stuff, I do really see a lot of white women doing this. 1.00
00:09:40.660 Now, again, I'm not saying other nationalities don't, or races don't, but I can just speak from where I grew up, okay?
00:09:48.940 Okay, so she sued the clinic last month.
00:09:51.480 Although many cases, like Murray's, are thought to be rare, an NBC News analysis of federal and state legal databases found more than 300 lawsuits filed from 2019 to 2024,
00:10:06.040 alleging that embryos, eggs, or sperm has been lost, destroyed, or swapped.
00:10:10.500 The suits were filed against fertility clinics or companies involved in the IVF process across 19 states.
00:10:17.700 And the majority, at least 260, involved alleged allegations of product or equipment failures.
00:10:25.840 Some legal experts say that the cases are, in part, a product of the industry's rapid growth.
00:10:32.200 The number of babies born via assisted reproductive technology, which includes IVF, more than quadrupled from 1996 to 2022.
00:10:41.380 The number of fertility procedures increased more than sixfold.
00:10:44.920 Market researchers estimated the U.S. fertility industry was worth $5.7 billion last year.
00:10:52.780 IVF isn't governed by the same regulations that hold other medical practitioners accountable for mistakes or safety violations.
00:11:00.980 Three legal experts said, for example, although more than half of states require hospitals to report serious, avoidable medical errors to regulators,
00:11:09.880 those requirements don't apply to IVF clinics.
00:11:12.580 And embryology labs aren't subject to federal inspections the way, say, blood banks are.
00:11:20.500 Instead, most are inspected by accredited organizations.
00:11:25.880 What's more, there is no established legal claim pertaining to lost or swapped embryos,
00:11:33.320 like there is for medical malpractice cases involving errors by health care providers.
00:11:38.940 So, IVF patients have a hard time seeking redress after something goes wrong.
00:11:44.860 Few of the lawsuits in NBC's news analysis have gone to trial.
00:11:49.360 And of those that have been resolved, most were settled or dismissed.
00:11:52.980 Adam Wolf, an attorney representing Murray, says he expects to see more cases like hers because, in his view,
00:11:59.740 the U.S. lacks sufficient state and federal regulations governing fertility clinics and labs.
00:12:05.080 So, again, this is what women do. 1.00
00:12:07.420 Not all, not all, not all.
00:12:08.820 Have a tendency to do, I'll say.
00:12:10.700 We make a bad choice, right?
00:12:12.360 Or a risky choice, right?
00:12:14.800 Like, for example, a woman gets, goes to Miami and gets a BBL.
00:12:20.080 That's risky. 0.99
00:12:20.820 But when things go south and it looks pretty stupid, she's going to blame the surgeon or say she was lied to. 0.95
00:12:31.440 And if a guy gets a risky surgery like that height lengthening surgery, he's just going to say, 0.98
00:12:37.820 I took a risk and it didn't pay off, right?
00:12:39.940 Until IVF clinics are subject to real regulations, reporting requirements, and mandatory certification programs for lab staff,
00:12:48.140 these type of errors will continue to occur.
00:12:51.780 He said at a news conference last month,
00:12:55.120 Wolf is part of a growing chorus of former IVF patients, lawyers, and bioethics, and even anti-abortion advocates
00:13:02.620 calling for increased regulation of IVF.
00:13:05.600 So all the lawyers are looking at this. 0.99
00:13:07.560 They're saying, I can't wait to make money off of these dumb hoes. 1.00
