5. Shift in Public Attitudes

  “The tide is turning...People are starting to say I think we went too far. I’m married. I’m happy. I’m a mom. I’m happy. I want that for my kids...” (08:51)

• She contextualizes the attack on marriage, likening it to the overreaches in the gender debate.

Some breaking news for your Wednesday Many, many, many, many of you have reached out to me about when I will be making my appearance on the View to defend the American family and to defend myself, my husband and my daughter. To these five women who decided to pick on me on Monday. I have an update for you. Drumroll please. Yeah, they're not having me on. They this abundantly clear. They're not having me on. I read this text on Dave Rubin's show yesterday, but just so you know, to just clear the record, the View refuses to have me on. We reached out begging to be on the show. I said, hey, I will take the train to New York tomorrow. I'll go on an airplane to get to New York as soon as possible. Have an honest open conversation instead of seeing you just slander a 28 year old new mom. Here's what they had to say back. Good to hear from you. They talked about Isabel today. You don't say. And we'll definitely keep in mind we're booked up the next few weeks. But I'll keep her and our radar. I think they mean on our radar. Thanks Narrator. They did not in fact keep Isabelle on their radar. And it was a fun April Fool's joke to play on you guys today on Instagram and TikTok that I was going on the show. Maybe someday. In the meantime, they're just complete absolute cowards. But in the wake of all of the publicity surrounding the View, as I'm sure you guys can imagine, I have done 8 million TV, radio, podcast interviews in the last 24 hours. We've got a whole lot more going on today as well, which is so fun. It seems that there's like a behind the scenes conversation happening among the female comedian world. And I put comedian in big quotations there because these people aren't really funny. Yeah, that's not funny. They might actually think they're comedians, but no one's laughing to anything that they have to say. Looks like Whoopi Goldberg and Whitney Cummings called up all their buddies in Hollywood, especially in the comedian genre, and decided to say operation Lean in begins today. We have to go further, go harder, go deeper into the fight against the American family and make sure that we're not only attacking young moms, we now have to dismantle the entire idea of marriage as well. Comedian Leslie Jones, who used to be a writer and one of the actresses on snl, she's also an actress in several other things, but mostly as well known as a comedian, joined another female comedian on her podcast, Ziwei Famundo Fumudo, to talk about marriage. And boy, did this get interesting. You may have seen this clip already on Twitter, but on the off chance that you haven't take a listen to

[Leslie Jones]

this, I think marriage is legalized slavery.

[Isabelle]

You do?

[Leslie Jones]

Yes, I do.

[Isabelle]

Say more because if I'm thinking about slavery and I'm thinking about marriage, there are two different images that come.

[Leslie Jones]

Absolutely not. I don't think. I don't know how you don't. Man is if. Especially if he expects you to be a trad wife, he might as well pull out a whip in a chain.

[Isabelle]

Well, so there are young people watching who might be wanting to get married. What would you say to them?

[Leslie Jones]

Don't.

[Isabelle]

Don't get married.

[Leslie Jones]

No.

[Isabelle]

Okay, okay. I feel the need to rewind this and just watch the immediate reaction to that again, because Zwe same girl, same

[Leslie Jones]

man is especially if he expects you to be a trad wife, he might as well pull out a whip in a chain. Wow.

[Isabelle]

The pause. The pause is so good. Wow, wow, wow, indeed. But what really gets me about this clip is the smile at the end. What's your message to young people who might want to get married? Don't. Back to it in a second. But you guys know I have been incredibly picky this year about what I put in my body, especially with the supplements that I've been taking. Let's be honest. Starting to take supplements a whole lot more seriously in my 28th year of life. And the more I've done research on all of this, the more I am just so over all of the junk brands that pretend to care about women, but they cut every single corner behind the scenes, which is why I love our friends at We Heart Nutrition, a family owned company from Jacob and Kristen that uses research backed highly bioavailable ingredients without any cheap fillers or artificial colors or sketchy proprietary blends. Plus a third party test everything for purity and for heavy metals. We have been taking these for several months in our house. My husband has as well for their men's multivitamin and it has been a total, total game changer. We just generally feel better every single day. Our baseline health is so much better and before bed we've been known to pop one of their magnesium supplements and I'm sleeping so much better at night because of it. The best part is their mission actually though as a company they donate 10% of every single one of their sales to pregnancy resource centers across the country, actually tangibly supporting women and families who are choosing life. And they've already given over a million dollars to do exactly that. From preconception and pregnancy to postpartum perimenopause and every phase in between as a woman, they have targeted formulas for your specific season of life. Plus those essentials like the magnesium I mentioned for sleep and stress hormone support with clinically studied saffron, omega 3s, probiotics, immunity and gentle iron that's actually easy on your stomach and isn't going to make you feel sick. If you're not sure where to start, they have a 30 second quiz on their website to get personalized supplement picks for your stage of life. Head to weheartnutrition.com take the quiz and and then use code isabelle for 20% off. Your first order. That's we heart nutrition.com use code isabelle for 20 percent off. How much do you think these women are all in this big group chat? Maybe they're all getting paid. I mean, who knows? Where is this coming from? This absolute assault on just general human happiness. This is no longer like a race thing. It doesn't feel like a generational thing, although it certainly is targeted to young women. It's not a parenthood or a baby or women's rights thing anymore. Generic human stability and happiness. Like the, the very idea, the idea of getting married to this people is so extreme, so insane, so a thing of the past that they now feel the need to compare marriage to legal slavery. They're running out of talking points. I honestly think this is exactly what happened with the gender debate. They played their cards a little too far. They just went one step too far and they were like, oh yeah, parents who don't think that their child who has never shown a single sign of gender dysphoria in their entire life. They don't want their child to go through a gender transition in their life and they don't think their child is actually transgender. Yeah, the state's just going to come take custody of your child away from you. Not great. Not great. To hear the President of the United States at the time say, yeah, any child of any age should be eligible for gender transition. Not great. And then people said, hang on a second, this is a little too far. This is a little too insane. I don't know how much I actually believe in this anymore. Now I'm going to go question the entire motive of the entire gender theory movement. I fear they are doing the exact same thing with marriage and children. The audacity to say marriage is legal slavery.

[Commercial Announcer]

What are you talking about?

[Isabelle]

Particularly as a successful black woman, which inherently invalidates everything that actual anti slavery activists have been fighting against for their entire lives. Lives. This is the same thing as calling anything that's not actual racism racism and diluting what actual racism looks like. You destroy the meaning of racism entirely. This is insane. This is not normal human behavior. The comments and responses to this on X. This was tweeted originally by End wokeness. Great account by the way. Have me deceased. This is amazing because the tide is turning. Just as much as people heard Whoopi Goldberg go on her friggin tirade on the View on Monday and Whitney Cummings come after me and my boobs, people are watching clips like this that are also happening coincidentally in the same week as every single loud voice in media seeks to completely invalidate marriage and motherhood, the tide is starting to turn. People are starting to say I think we went too far. I'm married. I'm happy. I'm a mom. I'm happy. I want that for my kids. That should make them happy. And the rolling back is going to start very, very quickly. This is the same woman. Just for the record, as someone reminds us in the comments section that a few months ago joined the Kelly Clarkson show and was complaining about how no man wants to date her.

[Leslie Jones]

I'm sick of men telling me oh well, you know, you hardcore. Yes I am. I am.

[Isabelle]

Can you handle it?

[Leslie Jones]

Oh well. What you bringing to the table? I am the table.

[Isabelle]

I don't even know what to say to that. But people have the greatest responses to this in the comment section. David Said gives marital advice. Never married woman smiling. It's a smile at the end. That's so good looking at you. Anna Navarro by the way LurkmoreTV said thank goodness she has no fans. But it raises an interesting point. I've been thinking a lot about this in the last 48 hours. No part of the View was funny. I don't know if they were intending to be funny. I don't know if this was some sort of joke against me or something. It certainly didn't feel like it. I thought it was pretty comedic because of the level of insanity, but it wasn't funny. Objectively speaking, this isn't funny to tell women that marriage is legal slavery and that if you want to be a trad wife or traditional wife, to be a stay at home mom and to not have a full time job, it is akin to asking your husband to break out the whip and chains pushed on a podcast hosted by a comedian. Said by a comedian. Why are they using female comedians to push this this type of anti family slop propaganda? I did a little Google now I'm gonna say this every single day. I did a little Google and if you look up female comedians, the very first solution that comes up or the first result that comes UP is from IMDb. I just want you to read through this list of female comedians. Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes, Tina Fey, Tiffany Haddish, Ellen DeGeneres, Ali Wong, Margaret Cho, Amy Poehler, Carol Burnett, Skip ahead here. Kate McKinnon, Joan Rivers, Kathy Griffith Griffin, excuse me, Mindy Kalig, Chelsea Handler, Kristen Wiig, Whitney Cummings. What do all of these women who I think for the most part are just objectively not all that funny, have in common? Most of them are constantly pushing a pro abortion, anti child, anti marriage left wing agenda. It's interesting. Just an observation, but it certainly isn't funny. Any married ladies, any married women want to jump in in the comment section here and let our new friend, the comedian comedian Leslie Jones know that marriage is not indeed legal slavery? Let us know in the comment section. Also, you guys might notice there's a fun new addition behind me here. Yesterday I joined the Amazing Moms for America and received one of their Abigail Adams Awards. Everyone was asking me to show it on screen yesterday, but we didn't have it yet when we taped the episode. It was a huge honor and a true blessing to join them for a 2:50America's 250th birthday and be honored as a modern day Abigail Adams in our continued fight for the family. Thank you to Moms for America for this incredible honor. Check them out. They're doing amazing work to celebrate our nation's birthday across the country this year with some really cool special Americana and history festivals probably happening in your own backyard. Today's a short episode because I have like 15 more TV and podcast and radio interviews, all kinds of stuff going on this afternoon. So I gotta jump. But thank you guys for helping to continue amplify this message and to keep supporting us in the midst of all this craziness. Sorry I tricked so many of you for April Fool's today. See you tomorrow.

Quick break. This surprised me. The most useful advice I get now doesn't come from experts. It comes from regular people on TikTok. What works, what doesn't. No filters. Download TikTok and see for yourself.
