Chapter 1: What are the key topics covered in this episode?
Good morning and welcome to Bontina Report Early Edition. Trump signs a pro-IVF executive order. Teenage, so grown up, designer babies say that they need therapy. The U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops sues the Trump admin for cutting refugee settlement funding. Violent anti-police rioters receive, rioter, I'm sorry, receives a $7.6 million DOJ settlement.
A black queer woman is cast as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. And Democrats admit COVID red-pilled Gen Z. All this on Bongina Report. Early edition. President Trump signed an executive order yesterday calling for policy recommendations to expand access to an affordability of in vitro fertilization, or more commonly known as IVF.
Caroline Levitt wrote on X that the order directs policy recommendations to protect IVF access and aggressively reduce out-of-pocket and health plan costs for such treatments. So we're not exactly sure what this entails, but the president is obviously beginning the steps of potentially making IVF more affordable.
Now, this order follows up on Trump's campaign, Trump's campaign promise to establish a new federal entitlement to IVF if elected, whether through direct subsidy or insurance mandate, we're not sure. And this is a President Trump L, in my opinion. I do not agree with this at all. We have to be honest about that. We have to look at this admin objectively.
Sometimes we can praise President Trump for really good things that he does, and sometimes he makes really bad decisions. I would say not that often, but when he does, it's important that we talk about it and we handle everything that this admin does really objectively and honestly. It is IVF is a seriously unethical process. It is the conscious creation of countless excess human embryos.
So human lives only to be killed. Um, and these unborn children who were actually born treated like commodities to be bought.
It has been estimated that there are more than 1 million embryos frozen in storage in the United States following IVF that, and there may be, I guess, 93% of all embryos created through IVF that either die, they're left frozen, abandoned, destroyed due to eugenics, experimented on, miscarried. So this is a real ethical concern.
Imagine that like millions of human lives created and they're just stuck, they're just frozen, they have no chance of life, and apparently the taxpayers are going to somehow subsidize this. If you are pro-life, the ethical ramifications are pretty self-evident. IVF separates the creation of life from the natural procreation process. It reduces human embryos to commodities.
It subjects them to selection, destruction, indefinite suspension, violating the inherent dignity of human life. Now, what President Trump is right about is that we are indeed experiencing an infertility crisis in this country. People can't have kids. It's a huge problem. And it is linked to the chronic disease, over-medication, and obesity crisis that we're also facing in this country.

Chapter 2: What are the ethical concerns surrounding IVF?
It is immoral for the taxpayers to continue funding the entire lives of non-Americans while our own suffer. We have veterans on the streets. We have... at Lahaina or the Carolinas that were victims to these hurricanes. We have problems here in the States and resources and funding is being taken from the taxpayers and allocated to illegal migrants instead of our own.
There's something inherently disordered about that. And whatever happened to religious leaders raising money on their own, operating off of donations? Why are their charitable projects government-funded now? I think that this defeats the purpose of charity, which should be done out of the goodness of people's hearts, not ripped out of the pocketbooks of taxpayers.
There's something really weird about the Catholic Church becoming an NGO, facilitating the illegal migrant crisis, all at the expense of the taxpayers. There's something very, very wrong with that.
And speaking of waste and spending dollars, ripping funding out of the taxpayers' pocketbooks, President Trump decided to read aloud last night a list of some of the most ridiculous projects that the taxpayers have been funding. This is incredible. Take a listen.
$520 million for ESG. $25 million to promote biodiversity, conservation, and promote licit livelihoods by developing socially responsible behavior in the country of Colombia. Well, that's nice. $25 million to go into Colombia for something that nobody ever heard of. $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants.
$42 million for Johns Hopkins, great place to research and drive social and behavior change in Uganda. $42 million. What about us? What about social change in our country? $70 million for a center at Purdue to research university-sourced, evidence-based solutions to developmental challenges. I mean, these are massive numbers on things that nobody ever heard about.
$10 million for Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcisions. $10 million for circumcisions in another country?
Exactly. $10 million for circumcisions in Mozambique is wild. Why the heck were we funding that? How is that necessary? All of these that he just listed off, completely unnecessary. I also learned last night that the NIH funded studies at UNC Chapel Hill to research lesbian cigarette use. What? HIV stigma in Zambia and the immune systems of Latina mothers.
This is not what the government should be funding. If Chapel Hill wants to fund bizarre studies about HIV stigma in Zambia and lesbian cigarette use, go for it. Be my guest. You guys do what you want to do. You guys can take enough of students' tuition dollars, but the government should not be paying for this crap.
