Democrat podcaster Jennifer Welch is asking listeners to financially support her show after advertisers cut ties with the program over her laughter at a social media post about digging up Charlie Kirk’s body. Welch directed her audience toward paid YouTube memberships and Substack subscriptions on Monday.

The appeal came at the end of Monday’s episode of I’ve Had It, which carried the title “Not Today, TPUSA.” The show’s own feed summarized the installment with the line “Turning Point wants to cancel us.”

Welch carefully distinguished between the program’s free offerings and the paid options available to listeners. During the same pitch, she promoted her book, Not Today, Fascists.

The Oklahoma native also claimed the boycott had produced a surge in attention for her program. She put the increase at nearly 30,000 new followers in recent days, though that figure has not been independently verified.

“Ever since Turning Point put a target on us, our numbers have grown, and they’re going to continue to grow all week,” she said. The declaration presented the sponsor revolt as a growth opportunity even as Welch asked loyal listeners to open their wallets.

Welch then defended the political style that has defined the show’s approach. She made clear that her program’s rhetoric was aimed at the portion of her audience that regularly watches and supports the hosts.

“Our brand of fighting fascism and our brand of MAGA-slaying and Turning Point-slaying is not for everybody,” she said, “but it’s for those of you that tune in every single day and support us.”

Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan plead with their supporters for financial support after more than 20 sponsors dropped them.

Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for Turning Point USA, pushed back against Welch’s attempt to pin the advertiser exodus on the organization. He argued that Welch’s own conduct, not Turning Point, was responsible for sponsors heading for the exits.

“You can blame me or Turning Point all you want, but we’re not the reason all your sponsors are fleeing,” Kolvet wrote. “You are.”

Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan of the “I’ve Had It” podcast have posted a new video slamming Turning Point for its coordinated boycott of their podcast, which has resulted in over a dozen advertisers stating they will no longer advertise on the show.

They specifically mention a tweet by @AndrewKolvet — a longtime friend of Charlie Kirk and a producer and co-host of the Charlie Kirk Show — in which he says about the duo: “If they apologize for being part of a toxic and evil culture that perpetuates violence against conservatives, I might actually be willing to listen.” Welch and Sullivan have come under fire from conservatives after they laughed at a tweet on their post-midterm election show that joked, “we’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” Erika Kirk has also criticized the podcast hosts and Dave Chappelle in a new tweet, but she did not mention them by name — Yashar Ali (@yashar) November 8, 2026

Kolvet counted 21 companies that had either ended their deals or clarified that they were never associated with the show. Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch, and Lola Blankets all departed Friday.

Newsweek counted at least 10 brands that had ended their arrangements or ruled out placing advertisements with the program in the future. That group included Zenni Optical, Casper, Honeylove, and iRestore.

One of those 10 companies, Monarch Money, said its agreement had already expired in September. That expiration came weeks before the episode at the center of the controversy aired.

“Just don’t legitimize political violence,” Kolvet added. His response placed the dispute squarely on the nature of the content rather than Welch’s claim that Turning Point had merely targeted the podcast.

Welch and fellow host Angie “Pumps” Sullivan apologized Saturday in a post on Instagram. They also announced a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control group.

By Monday, however, Welch had returned to discussing Kirk on the show. The interior designer turned podcaster played a compilation of Kirk’s remarks about race before delivering another blistering judgment.

“He was a vile, unrepentant racist,” Welch said. The comment arrived after the apology and donation announcement, while the program continued confronting the advertiser fallout and directing supporters toward paid access.
