I am not in my home studio. I am here on set at Daily Wire studios in Nashville. And we are breaking down some insane stories that happened over the weekend. Turns out the male gaze is back in advertising in America. The Church of England is having a substantial identity crisis with a new female head of the church. And and the Canterbury Cathedral has been destroyed intentionally with woke graffiti. Stick around to figure it all out right here on the Isabelle Brown Show. Astonishing news for your Monday here on October 13, 2025, CNN is bringing out the big guns to let us know that the male gaze is back in America. Baby. I'm scrolling through social media this morning looking for what's happening in the world. Catching up. I've been on the road for five days and the very first thing that comes to my attention is this ridiculous headline that I'd love to unpack with you for a few minutes this morning. After years of of progress on gender, CNN says the male gaze is back. I guess then they go on this whole diatribe about how men are objectifying women again. And because of that, we're experiencing a rise in traditional femininity. And that's really bad. That's really bad because we've spent the last several decades making so much progress to make sure that gender was was a thing of the past, that men and women were virtually indistinguishable from one another and that we all dressed like androgynous brown paper sack things instead of like men or like women. And we should be ashamed of ourselves for going back to a time where women were distinguishable from men and we had our own set of beauty standards and ideals. And God forbid, God forbid ever attracted a man to begin with. And yet these people could really only come up with two examples of how the male gaze is back from the last few months, the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad and the Addison Rae jeans ad. It feels to me like a lifetime has passed, really, since we started watching these ads gloss our social media feeds. I had to remind myself that it has not yet been four or five years since Sydney Sweeney's jeans ad. This was mere weeks ago. Insane how much has happened in the meantime? But if you, like me, are struggling with the passage of time in the last few weeks, especially in the last month, here's a little refresher on what Sydney Sweeney jeans ad broke people's brains in August. Watch this. My body's composition is determined by my genes. Hey, eyes up here, Hasbr? Ke. And Sydney Sweeney wasn't the only person to break the Internet over jeans. Addison Ray had her own ad go viral as well. When all of this happened, people's heads exploded. Because God forbid we show beautiful blonde girls in tight jeans with boobs, because boobs are a woman's experience. Who knew? I guess when you don't even need a uterus to be a woman anymore, you can have a uterus when you're a man. The idea of attaching feminine traits to women and not to men is so wildly offensive to people that we now call this the resurgence of the male gaze. But even when all of that was going viral weeks ago, it was incredibly obvious to me that culture is changing. Culture is changing rapidly, with objective reality, a sense of humor, and generally pretty conservative ideas and values coming back to the surface in America again. Especially when even the President of the United States can joke about this and lean into it effectively. Back in August, the White House. The White House tweeted this picture of Donald Trump walking around on the roof as a meme of, hey, did you see the Sydney Sweeney ad? And everyone else started using ChatGPT and AI platforms to generate images of Donald Trump and in his Canadian tuxedo jeans outfit, saying, not only does Sydney Sweeney have great jeans, Donald Trump has pretty great jeans, too. Nobody likes plastic waste, but what about the plastics that you can't see? I'm talking about microplastics, tiny fragments contaminating our water supply. Shockingly, you might not know this. 94% of US tap water contains microplastics. Which is why we purify our water at home with COVID Pure, a powerful countertop filtration system that actually works. Why should you even care about this? Because disturbing new research reveals that there are up to 100 times more plastic particles in water than we ever thought before. Some are so small that they actually slip into your bloodstream, they invade your organs, and they accumulate in your brain. The average person's brain today may now contain the weight of an entire plastic surface. Spoon in microplastics in your brain. Let that sink in. And bottled water isn't the answer. Heat and sunlight make those bottles leach even more microplastics than our tap water. Those cheap pitcher filters like Brita, they don't remove the nanoplastics or most contaminants out of your water. They're basically band aids on a bullet wound. Cove Pure is thousands of times more effective than Brita, removing up to 99.9% of contaminants, including microplastics, fluorides, heavy metals, PFAS, and more. We love our Cove Pure at our house and it has made such a huge realm of difference in making sure that the water we drink tastes good and is 100% safe for our family to be drinking. Clean water is one of, if not the best investment that you can possibly make for your family. And because we have partnered with them for a limited time, you can get $200 off your purchase if you use our link covepure.com isabel to don't miss out. $200 off is a big deal. That's C-O-V-E-P-U-R-E.com isabelle to get $200 off covepure.com isabel it turns out though, and maybe this is a news flash to cnn, but they don't really cover the real news or engage in any sort of actual groundbreaking journalism. So we need to help them out this morning. I don't think that it's just the male gaze that's back. I think the female gaze is back in society too. Just as men are realizing that they like women who look like women. Groundbreaking news. I know women are realizing that we are not really attracted to feminine men. We want men, handsome men. Men who don't apologize for being men. And if you recall, just after Sydney Sweeney had her jeans ad go incredibly viral for American Eagle and Gavin Castellano became the face of a Dunkin Donuts ad that was essentially built around the same premise. Check this out. Look, I didn't ask to be the king of Summer. It just kind of happened. This tan genetics. I just got my color analysis back. Guess what? Golden Summer. Literally. I know, I know. We all have things to say about Team Conrad and and Team Jeremiah and the summer I turned pretty, which apparently is over. But not over. We're getting a movie now. I know Jeremiah's character was a bit feminine on the show, but I digress. Different conversation for a different time. It is obvious to me that women are really into TV shows, commercials, social media influencers, and culture in general that is built upon the idea of men being men. What's insane to me is that this seems this CNN piece is actually completely built around the idea that we are undoing their supposed years of progress on gender, when in reality, our culture is just reaffirming that men like women and that women like men. The only thing about the male gaze that's true is that men are not interested in androgynous. They thems. They like women with feminine features and long hair and boobs. Boobs. Shocking information. I feel like Clay Travis during that one news hit where everybody seems to have it go viral every six months all over again, that there's only a few things in life that have never let him down, Boobs being one of them. That's the male gaze, and we shouldn't be shocked or upset or offended by that. And similarly, women like real, strong, masculine men. Not men in dresses like Harry Styles on an album cover or men in high heels wearing makeup like the cast of Queer Eye walking through the White House, but actual masculine men. And we're realizing it more by the day, by the way, the more of us that quit our hormonal birth control and we realize we've been artificially attracted to feminine men for years or decades of our lives. Thank you to the big pharmaceutical industry. When businesses are starting to wake up to this, it's incredibly obvious to me that culture is changing even more rapidly and starting to cement itself in this resurgence of traditionalism. And I know we all might have things to say about the sexiness of the Sydney Sweeney ad or the unfortunate nods in that direction away from conservative culture, but let's forget about that for a moment. Put a pin in that. The fact that we even can live in a society that uses the word woman again is a w. A win is a win for me because businesses and culture alike are. Are starting to realize that you cannot pander to the loudest minority, the people who are screaming in your face about how you are oppressive, you're misogynistic, you're a white supremacist, you're transphobic, you're whatever for simply existing. These businesses can't keep pandering to them and still expect to stay afloat or to grow or be financially successful. This is obviously important marketing for the opposite sex, but I think it's important to say it's not just obvious marketing for the opposite sex for the male gaze or the female gaze. Using the opposite sex as models. Brands are starting to realize the need to embrace legitimate beauty standards again for their own customer base. Just a few months ago, Fox Business ran a whole story about how Victoria's Secret is ditching woke models in order to prefer actual sexiness. Again, read this headline with me. Victoria's Secret is ditching prioritizing wokeness over sexiness after what? Oh, after their sales dropped. Shocking, isn't it, that using androgynous, obese, ugly people to sell beautiful lingerie didn't work out as a sound business strategy over the years. I think it's interesting when we talk about specific businesses like Victoria's Secret in this vein as well, because so many people would say that they obviously were doing better when they weren't setting this unrealistic expectation of beauty. Isabel and but here's my response to that. Do I look like a Victoria's Secret model? No. And I never will. I am a stumpy five foot one. I stopped growing in the sixth grade. I just had a baby. I could afford to lose an extra 15 or so pounds. But I can be inspired by and appreciate feminine beauty standards and work really hard to achieve them in my own life. Because beauty standards, contrary to everything women have been told for the last several decades, are not oppressive. They're not. They can go too far. But beauty standards, when rooted in health and wellness, are empowering. It's something that we should be striving for because we can appreciate when something is beautiful and when something is ugly. And just like in our culture of desecrating beautiful architecture, destroying art to sell you gazillion dollar bananas taped to a wall with duct tape instead of beautiful paintings and sculptures in our culture that's trying to convince you that music lacks refinement and beauty and instead should just be computer programmed noise. Obviously they're going to do the same thing for people too. But if we've learned anything throughout our lifetime, especially in Western culture, beauty matters. Because beauty allows us to transcend the brokenness and evil and destruction of humanity and to focus our attention, our. Our efforts, our inspiration on something larger to appreciate the divine insane that we can have that realization from a jeans ad, or from businesses realizing that the male gaze and the female gaze actually matter to society. But we are, in the era of common sense and objective reality, making a comeback. And I for one, am here for it. Today's episode is brought to you by our friends at Grazza. Everyone knows I love to cook for my friends. And lately I have taken my food to the next level with Graza, my favorite olive oil of choice. It is delicious. It is easy to use extra virgin olive oil at an affordable everyday price. Graza is always fresh. They pick, press and bottle all of their olives in the same season. You can even see the harvest date on every single bottle, which matters to me a lot. They have not one but two extra virgin olive oils to stock in your kitchen and you can choose between their squeeze bottles or their glass bottles. There's Sizzle, their everyday cooking oil that is perfect for roasting, sauteing and anything else that you cook. And they also have Drizzle, a super punchy, flavorful finishing oil that is perfect for dipping your favorite bread, whipping up a salad dressing, or even drizzling over ice cream. Don't knock it till you try it. It's my favorite thing to eat in Italy and now coming back home as well. It is seriously my favorite brand of olive oil to use when I'm cooking or when I'm eating. Healthy eating is something that I have really tried to prioritize lately, especially as a new mom and olive oil is the timeless classic healthiest F that I have added to my meals. It's wonderful for your heart health, your brain health all around. Just making sure that you are your best self every single day from October 1st to the 21st. It's their famous annual site wide sale. It's time to stock up on your favorite olive oil for the whole year. Discounts are automatically applied at checkout. Absolutely no code needed as we're seeing businesses wake up to the reality that they can't keep pandering to the woke left sleep. Sadly, there are other institutions taking a much longer route to get there. One of them being the Church, which sadly is very, very, very very woke in Western civilization today. And I'm not talking about church with a capital C obviously. I think generally, despite some interesting headlines over the past few years, I'm incredibly grateful for the Catholic Church remaining quite steadfast against a lot of the influx of woke in our society. But the Anglican Church is not faring so well. A few weeks ago, the very first ever female Archbishop of Canterbury was appointed. Her name is Sarah. And people are wildly unhappy about this announcement that came out about 10 days ago. Dame Sarah Mulally Mulally has been announced as the first female female bishop archbishop, excuse me, of Canterbury, which is essentially behind the King or Queen, the head of the Anglican Church. That alone obviously is not great, but it is especially worse when you start to consider the positions of this woman that now is responsible for leading the souls of every member of the Anglican Church on abortion. For example, the Archbishop of Canterbury has gone on record saying, I would suspect that I would describe my approach to this issue as pro choice rather than pro life head of the Anglican Church. Here she is ranting and raving about microaggressions. Listen to this. I would love to encourage women, which.

I do all the time, but there.

Continues to be institutional barriers. We continue to experience microaggressions. And if that wasn't bad enough, when asked about Pride and the expansion of the Pride movement coming into the grooming of children and the sexualization of society aimed at children, she had no response. Utter silence. Don't take my word for it. Listen to this.

Not all pride is sexualized. There is evidence of sexual content. Sorry about this, that's never happened before. There is evidence of sexual content on our streets that would not be allowed on TV before 9pm and there is evidence of. Of sexualisation and grooming of children at Pride. This is my question. Chair. There is evidence of sexualization and grooming of children at some Pride events. What is the House of Bishops doing to protect children from that sexualization at Pride? Or from Queer Theory? Thank you. That does not relate to the question, the original question. It does. It's about the Bishop's position on Pride. Chair. And whether they're protecting children from Pride. They should have a position and be able to tell me. Because you don't want to protect children and you dare not speak against Pride or Queer Theory. Shame on you.

Please sit down. This happened 10 days ago that this woman was appointed to be the head of the Anglican Church. And then a few days later, very, very quickly, we saw a systematic decision of destruction come from within the Anglican Church and at the Cathedral of Canterbury. The Canterbury Cathedral, for the record, was established by St. Augustine and now falls under the jurisdiction of the Anglican Church where a. How do I say this in their terminology, person from a minority community was brought in to the Canterbury Cathedral to create a new art installation that challenges the nature of of our faith as Christians and provides thought provoking information for Christians to ponder when they walk in. Is it a beautiful fresco painted on the wall? Is it a beautiful marble sculpture handcrafted over hundreds of hours of dedicated artistry? No, it's frickin graffiti. Disgusting, ugly, horrifying graffiti. Intentionally painted all over the Canterbury Cathedral to challenge God. To challenge the existence of God. To poke fun at God. Put there on purpose, with permission. If you look at some of these images, it's absolutely insane. This looks like something out of like the slums of a third world country. But they intentionally put this on the wall of this beautiful cathedral. Look at this first image. Why did you create hate when love is by far more powerful? People are saying, when I go to church, this tweet is really good. From Alex Phillips. When I go to church, it is a powerful, personal and vulnerable time where I lay everything at God's feet. Church is a sanctuary where the desperate, weary and hopeless go to find comfort and meaning. Imagine someone heartbroken, lost and afraid, seeking sanctuary and being surrounded by gaudy graffiti, questioning God's existence. What a cruel and senseless way to treat a believer. Sometimes I would say all the time. It feels like the Church of England hates its own flock. And she puts this image, does our struggle mean anything? Graffitied on the wall, Are you there? Question mark to God. Graffitied on the wall. The Canterbury cathedral was built 1425 years ago by hand by people who desperately wanted to create a sense of immersion in the divine in our broken world. And our response to that now, nearly 1500 years later, is to destroy this beautiful sacred sanctuary with graffiti mocking the existence of God. Classy. There's videos being shared of this art installation by Tommy Robinson. Again, reminds us the Canterbury Cathedral was established in 597 A.D. by St. Augustine. It was specifically founded to reintroduce Christianity to the Anglo Saxons that had lost a tie to Christianity. And now these modern artists are saying, why all the suffering? God in gaudy, disgusting, dripping blue and red paint all over a timeless cathedral. Why all the suffering? Are you there? How Literally mocking the existence of God. Nothing is sacred. Some good Internet sleuths took it upon themselves to figure out who was responsible for this disgusting desecration of the Canterbury Cathedral. Here we go, from Tommy Robinson, the artist behind the desecration of England's oldest cathedral in Canterbury, is this guy. Yeah, that sounds about right. This man in a dress. This man hiding his identity behind a mask. This man tweeting, this is effing outrageous about trans books being banned from the children's library. His name is Alex Velis, the so called artist behind this desecration of the Canterbury Cathedral, who proudly describes himself as a, and I'm not making this up, non binary agender. Interesting, because non binary was supposed to be a gender right Non binary agender goblin. Only in the UK today could somebody like this, a non binary agender goblin, be allowed to desecrate one of the holiest sites in Christian history and call it the name of progress as he's literally mocking the existence of God, mocking all of the teachings of Christianity and as a man wearing a dress in the process. So that's great. How you guys doing over there across the pond this Monday while we're watching the desecration of everything we know to be good and true and beautiful. It is so clear to me that we are living in a time where the truth feels dangerous and when silence comes at a cost. That's exactly what happened to a beautiful young mom named Victoria. She walked in just like millions of other women to a Planned Parenthood when, facing an unexpected pregnancy, scared and desperate, and instead of meeting her child on an ultrasound, was instead handed the abortion pill. The weight of regret hit her so hard she even considered ending her own life. But by the grace of God, she found a preborn network claim where compassion instead broke through. Loving staff gave her real hope and helped save her life, but also her baby's life. The moment that I met my daughter on an ultrasound for the first time, watching her little hand wave at me at just 11 weeks old, it completely cemented to me just how rare and precious these moments are with our children and knowing the truth that our babies inside of us are not just random clumps of cells, but are real human beings worthy of all of our dignity, protection and love. This is why truth matters now more than ever. Because when a mom meets her baby through an ultrasound, lives are saved. Just $28 provides that truth through a free ultrasound for a mom in need. This is your chance to make a difference that echoes into eternity. Will you answer the call? You can pick up your phone and dial £250 and say the keyword baby, that's £250 baby. Or donate securely@preborn.com Isabel that's that's preborn.com Isabel do it now today for just $28 because life matters. It is not, sadly, just the Anglican Church that is being targeted by calls for desecration or just really wild rampant protests and people doing everything they can to destroy our most sacred sites in Christianity. Certainly we know that there are churches across the United States of America that have been attacked at increasing numbers. In the past five years there have been more than 500 Catholic churches attacked in some way, shape or form with destruction of property, arson or something else. In America alone across the Middle east you're seeing the destruction of Christian holy sites and churches that are important to our history. In Nigeria we are watching an all out genocide against Christians where tens of thousands of people have been killed in the last several years while attending Mass or their Christian worship service. And even this week at the Vatican at St. Peter's Basilica where I just was a few weeks ago to meet the Pope at the first ever event with Catholic content creators Someone took it upon himself to urinate all over the high altar right in the heart of St. Peter's Basilica over the tomb of St. Peter, the actual St. Peter in a symbol of destroying Catholicism. I guess this happened at 9:30am over the weekend. This guy urinated on the altar in front of hundreds of pilgrims that had come for the jubilee year before being removed. And he did it while mass was being celebrated at the chair of St. Peter, which is just behind the high altar. I don't find that coincidental at all. And I think it's really important to start paying attention to this behavior because you're watching this happen during church services or at important moments where new heads of churches are being appointed. It's not just the woke left. And the scary part about all of this is you're watching the woke left want to destroy the church, but you're also watching calls for a different type of replacement theory being called for all across Western civilization. Just after the urinating on the high altar clip went incredibly viral, somebody sent me this one from Rome. This is right outside the Vatican, right outside of St. Peter's Basilica where dozens of Muslim men start engaging in Muslim prayers right near the Vatican. There are 66. Zero mosques inside of Rome. So why choose to pray in a large group of Muslim fighting age men right outside of the head church of the Catholic Church? Tell me that's not a coincidence and tell me that you're paying attention. The Church, like all of these businesses that are starting to wake up to realize that they can't keep operating in an upside down reality. The Church needs to wake up desperately. You cannot pander to people who legitimately want you to be fundamentally destroyed from the inside out at the very best case scenario, by the way, or people who are legitimately attempting to genocide Christians all over the world. I do not find it coincidental at all that so many fires are also being set at churches across Europe. Excuse me, Churches are burning across Europe. Heavy quotations on that. Like a beautiful convent that was set on fire over the weekend in Italy, threatening the lives of dozens of nuns living inside the Church of St. Carlo Acutis that he grew up going to, who we just celebrated his first feast day over the weekend. Burned over the weekend. I don't find any of that coincidental whatsoever. In the era of pro choice woman archbishops over in the uk and specific Muslim calls to prayers from the heart of Catholicism just outside of St. Peter's Basilica. This is why, and I say this all the time, but it's becoming more important. With every passing day, we we desperately need unity in the church again to stand against the forces of evil seeking to destroy the truth of God. Whether that fight is about abortion, gender theory, or the replacement of Christianity with other religions, we are called to be one body of Christ. And there is only way, only one way that the church will prevail against the gates of hell. It's when we link arms together and fight back against this broken world. Kudos to all of these companies realizing the need to start standing up. But the church has got to come next or our fight for Western civilization will be for naught. As I mentioned at the top of the show, I am here in Nashville at our Daily Wire Studios today filming something extra special. A huge surprise to share with you guys on the show for tomorrow.
