Segment #1085
It is interesting to listen to the Rising podcast interpretation of these two vile women that are certainly free to say whatever they want under our system of freedom of speech. We don’t censor or cancel them, we just don’t support them. The left could learn a bit about how our constitutional system really works.
he two liberal podcasters are Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, co-hosts of the podcast I've Had It.

On November 5, 2026, they laughed for approximately 30 seconds after reading a social media post joking about exhuming Charlie Kirk's body and shooting him again.
On November 7, both apologized, acknowledging that the joke was insensitive and that they should not have laughed.
The controversy has continued: Advertisers have reportedly withdrawn sponsorships, and Welch subsequently criticized Turning Point USA for its response.

I've Had It: Background and the fallout from the Charlie Kirk controversy
I've Had It is a comedy and political commentary podcast hosted by Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, two Oklahoma City women whose appeal is built around irreverent humor, blunt opinions, and an increasingly outspoken progressive political perspective.
The important distinction is between the podcast's established audience and the financial or reputational damage resulting from the November 2026 controversy.
Losing advertisers, losing listeners, and losing revenue are three different things. Advertiser departures may be visible immediately, while the longer-term effect on the podcast's audience and business can take considerably longer to establish.
Who are the hosts?

They appeared together on Bravo's Sweet Home Oklahoma before launching I've Had It in October 2022.
Originally, the podcast was built around complaints about everyday annoyances, relationships, social behavior, and popular culture. During the 2024 presidential election, it became increasingly political.
Their guests have included Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

These numbers make it a substantial independent political media operation, not a small amateur podcast.
How much advertising support has it lost?
As of November 9, the following companies have publicly ended advertising relationships or distanced themselves from the program.
Cash App - Confirmed it is no longer a sponsor
Zenni Optical - Canceled advertising
NOBL Travel - Reportedly ended its sponsorship
Lola Blankets - Reported as no longer sponsoring
Boll & Branch - Not currently advertising; says it will not advertise in future
Chewy - Says it has no current sponsorship relationship
At least three sponsors have been reported as explicitly terminating advertising relationships, with several additional companies publicly distancing themselves. Not every company listed can be counted as a newly lost contract.
What is the financial damage?
There are no reliable public figures establishing the dollar value of the canceled contracts.
Lost sponsorship relationships - Multiple confirmed or reported
Annual advertising revenue lost - Not disclosed
Percentage of sponsors lost - Unknown
Paid subscriber cancellations - No reliable count
YouTube subscriber decline - No verified before-and-after figure
Podcast cancellation - No indication
Apple Podcasts also displays numerous recent negative reviews alongside supportive reviews. This demonstrates backlash but does not establish a measurable loss of listeners.
What happens next?
The hosts issued an apology, acknowledged that laughing at the joke was inappropriate, and announced a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety.
Mediaite
The podcast has several possible ways to recover financially, including finding replacement advertisers, increasing direct subscriptions, and relying on its established audience. Its existing political positioning may also mean that some loyal listeners remain supportive despite the controversy.
My assessment: The immediate advertising damage is real and documented. However, claims that the podcast has lost most of its financial support, is collapsing, or has suffered a major audience exodus are not supported by the figures currently available.
The meaningful test will be whether advertisers return and whether audience numbers fall over the next 30–90 days.
