Allie Beth Stuckey takes down absurd motherhood lies spouted on ‘The View’
When conservative mother Isabel Brown spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference, she used the platform to champion having more children — a cause BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” can easily get behind.
However, not everyone appreciated Brown’s stance, particularly the women of “The View.”
“I think it’s just really reckless to be suggesting that people should have children when you now know, in this country, there’s this affordability crisis. And for a two-person household, a married household, you need over $400,000 for child care,” Sunny Hostin explained to the panel.
Hostin went on to claim that Brown was “advocating for people to be born into poverty,” where those children will not be educated, housed, or fed.
“At the same time … this government is cutting all of the services that would allow people to have families and big families,” she added.
Stuckey calls Hostin’s statement “over-the-top, inaccurate, and absurd.”
“No one said that having children comes without sacrifices and comes without some form of what people may call inconvenience. But the idea that you have to be making almost half a million dollars a year to be able to just survive with children is absurd,” she says.
“It’s not true today. It has never been true in all of history,” she adds.
But Hostin wasn’t the only one on the panel who criticized Brown’s statement.
“I gave our girl Isabel a little Google,” Whitney Cummings said. “She has a baby. She has a 1-year-old. Of course, she thinks everyone should have a lot of kids. She has a 1-year-old that sleeps all day.”
“I also was like, ‘I’m going to have a bunch more kids.’ Wait till your kid is up and walking and you spend most of your day trying to get its shoes on. You’re probably going to rethink how many kids you have,” Cummings added.
“I must be doing motherhood wrong because, see, my 1-year-olds were awake all day, and they took a nap for a couple hours in the afternoon, but they were awake. Are you thinking about a 1-month-old? A 1-year-old is a toddler,” Stuckey responds.
“Having a 1-year-old is, like, one of the most challenging times because they’re so mobile, they’re so energetic, and yet they can’t just sit there and be entertained by a book for very long. And so, that’s crazy,” she continues.
Stuckey, who has three children of her own, believes that Hostin and Cummings are actually just placing convenience and luxury over children — much like other women in the “child-free movement.”
Stuckey plays a clip one woman posted on TikTok of herself discussing how wonderful it is to lie around all day and prioritize her own needs instead of having children.
“That’s such a superficial and selfish reason not to have kids,” she says.

Lindsey Graham spotted holding bubble wand at Disney World during shutdown
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham may not be able to find the time to vote for the SAVE America Act, but according to newly circulating viral photos, he’s apparently more than happy to rush off to Disney World.
The photos show him hanging out at the Magic Kingdom — holding a bubble wand — during the longest shutdown in U.S. history.
“Why are you there? Lindsey Graham, why are you there? You hate us, it seems, actually,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” disturbed.
“Senator Lindsey Graham has not been able to find the time to just stay and vote on the SAVE America Act … we allegedly have a majority, so it shouldn’t be hard to get it through. And by the way, 80% of Americans will thank you because this is a very bipartisan agreement that we all say you should have to prove that you are who you say you are before you vote,” she continues.
While Graham being at Disney World during this shutdown would seem bad enough even if he had a family and children, the truth is that he doesn’t.
“I just have to tell you guys, for those who are following at home, in case you’re not familiar with this weirdo, he doesn’t have a wife, he doesn’t have kids, he doesn’t have grandkids. Which, by the way, is probably why he wants us to go to war so much. It’s not his family who has to die,” Gonzales says.
“You’re by yourself, you’re buying bubble wands, you’re walking around. What are you doing?” she asks. “Are you using the bubble wand to try to entice the children? Is this like the f**ked up Lindsey Graham version of the man in the van with the candy?”
“And by the way, I did also read that he skipped the line. He skipped the Space Mountain line. Everyone else was waiting, and apparently nobody was important enough as Lady Graham,” she adds.
