Several Sponsors Cut Ties with Jennifer Welch’s Podcast After Hosts Laugh About Desecrating Charlie Kirk’s Body

Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch, and Lola Blankets said on Friday that they no longer sponsor or advertise leftist Jennifer Welch’s I’ve Had It podcast, according to company statements and customer service messages shared online amid backlash.

Cash App condemned violence in announcing it was no longer sponsoring the show. Chewy and Lola Blankets addressed their ties to the podcast in responses shared by customers, while Boll & Branch publicly ruled out future advertising. Their statements did not all specify when the sponsorships ended.

“We do not condone violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast,” Cash App wrote on X in response to a user who tagged the company and called for a boycott over its sponsorship of the episode.

“Does Cashapp support the mocking of a murder victim?” the user asked.

Chewy said it was no longer connected to the podcast in a customer service response shared by X user Val Candee.

“I do want to clarify that Chewy is no longer affiliated with or sponsoring the ‘I’ve Had It’ podcast,” the representative wrote.

“We value your trust and appreciate the opportunity to address this concern. Our focus remains on the health and happiness of pets and the people who love them,” the message continued.

Boll & Branch addressed the matter directly on X.

Lola Blankets also said it no longer works with the show, according to a response shared by X user CaraGrace23, who said a friend had contacted the company.

“Thank you for your comment. We no longer work with that podcast,” the company’s message read.

Both Boll & Branch and Lola Blankets were listed as sponsors in the description of the podcast’s October 27 episode, “Everybody’s a F**king Expert,” which included discount offers for their products.

Cash App’s relationship with the show was documented in earlier episodes. Welch promoted Cash App during the episode “Who Gives a Zuck?” During the episode, they also thanked the company for its sponsorship and included a download link and advertising disclosures.

The statements follow the November 5 episode, titled “Drinking MAGA Tears,” during which Welch and Sullivan read social media posts celebrating Democrat election victories and ridiculing conservatives.

The hosts had been discussing posts mocking conservative positions on abortion, vaccines, and transgender issues when Welch reached the comment about Kirk. Before reading it, she praised the people writing the posts and said their jokes made her feel patriotic.

“We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again,” Welch read.

Both hosts lowered their heads and laughed for more than 20 seconds.

The Time Is Now For Republicans To Rally Around Trump

Republicans must stay unified around Trump’s policies or, assuredly, they will all be subpoenaed, show-trialed, and de-personed separately.

The midterms, for all their horrors, left the Republican Party bloodied, but that is far from broken.

Statewide contests in Florida followed the modest Republican lean I projected from registered-voter turnout, not dubious polls or vapid commentary. Republicans held the governor’s office, the U.S. Senate seat, and vital state cabinet posts, each by a narrow margin. Democrats, meanwhile, reclaimed both houses of Congress and ended the Republican supermajority in the Florida Legislature.

That outcome matched the registration-and-historical-turnout model I published late last month. I foretold that, in Florida, there would be no Ron DeSantis-style blowout victory, yet no blue wave, either. I saw real Democrat openings only in newly drawn congressional seats and in selected state legislative races. Those results arrived after a bruising cycle.

The temptation now is to treat stomach-churning GOP losses, from sea to shining sea, as proof that the party must move past Donald Trump. That reading is wrong. It dangerously confuses impermanent setbacks with permanent voter rejection.

I collaborated on an exit poll of 450 Republican voters, conducted on Election Day through interactive voice response and weighted to the latest population and voter benchmarks. It revealed that Trump’s second term has made 82 percent of the GOP electorate more supportive of the Republican Party. Sixty-eight percent said a Trump endorsement would guide their 2028 presidential primary vote.

Seventy-one percent said they are likely to vote Republican in 2028, regardless of how the economy performs. Eighty-one percent said they will continue supporting Republicans after the Trump presidency ends. Only 18 percent reported feeling less supportive of the GOP due to Trump’s administration. Just 29 percent said their 2028 vote might hinge on the economy.

The same survey found that 57 percent of Republicans base their Trump support on non-economic issues, leaving only 43 percent who back him for economic purposes. The GOP coalition is not a single-issue bloc waiting for a better fiscal cycle. It is a durable amalgamation that has already absorbed the costs, however steep, of the second Trump term. It demands the party stand with the White House.

Patrick Basham’s Democracy Institute, which correctly called the 2016 Brexit referendum and Trump’s 2016 Electoral College victory, executed this exit poll. I wrote its questions. The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points. The direction of its results is unambiguous.

Two years ago, I issued the Five-Point Forecast that correctly predicted Trump’s national victory and the outcome in every swing state. That model relied on lived economic sentiment, employment conditions, energy prices, perceptions of government response, and the reliability of accurate polling, rather than frozen historical checklists. This year, I used a radically different approach, applying it solely to Florida, and it nonetheless produced statewide calls that held.

Therefore, when I say the Republicans cannot afford to turn on Trump, the claim rests on that record, not on social media sophistry or sound-bite “journalism.”

Turning on Trump after these repulsive midterms would mean turning on the resilient voters who just showed up for the party. The 82 percent who feel more supportive of the GOP are not a fringe. They are the bulk of the Republican electorate that casts ballots, come hell or high water.

A party that discards its leader in the name of “moving on” would be discarding the people who still identify with that leader. The resulting split would not be a healthy primary debate. It would be a fracture that hands the next cycle to Democrats who no longer resemble the party of the 1990s, or even the Barack Obama era.

A recent CNN/SSRS poll found that about 34 percent of Democrat and Democrat-leaning adults identify as democratic socialists, with that share rising to 59 percent among those under 45. That self-identification tracks with electoral gains by Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates. The rising blue tide wants to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, end most deportations, and force structural changes. These include eliminating the Senate and packing the Supreme Court.

A September 2026 Centre of Heterodox Social Science report was based on a survey that heavily sampled liberals and Muslims. It documented a substantial constituency that applies an oppressor-versus-oppressed lens to both domestic and international questions. Roughly one-quarter of American liberals in the extreme segment of that survey held correlated attitudes favoring socialism, criticism of the West, and alignment with (disproportionately immigrant) Global South groups.

The report linked those patterns to candidates such as Zohran Mamdani, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Abdul El-Sayed. I say these patterns amount to the scourge of third-world supremacy, which threatens the livelihood of every sane American.

Radicals are not marginal voices inside a still-moderate party. They are the ascendant wing that wins primaries and shapes the Democrat future. When Republicans urge their party to distance itself from Trump, they are effectively inviting the most motivated, and inherently extreme, Democrats to fill the void.

A fractured Republican Party cannot block the toxic policy sewage that flows from blue third-worldism. The result is not a normal alternation of power. It is the transfer of governing authority to a coalition whose dominant youth cohort has already rejected the Western civilization that earlier Democrat majorities accepted.

The exit-poll majorities make the practical choice clear. Republican voters have already decided that Trump’s second term strengthened their attachment to the party. They have already indicated that his endorsement will matter in 2028. They have already shown willingness to stay with Republicans after he leaves office. A leadership class that treats those findings as negligible is not adapting to new realities. It is ignoring the electorate that remains tied to the party.

Unity behind Trump does not require silence on reasonable policy differences or automatic endorsement of his every decision. It requires recognition that the alternative, open internal war, is the outcome Democrats want. This is also the outcome which the exit poll shows Republican voters will not reward.

The midterms showed that Democrats can still win newly drawn seats and legislative majorities when Republicans are divided, demoralized, or detached from the reality that red seats can flip blue. The same midterms showed that a statewide Republican lean can hold when the GOP’s registration advantage and voting patterns are allowed to synchronize in real time. Preserving that lean into the next cycle depends on keeping Republican voters inside the coalition rather than driving them out.

I am not offering this assessment as a partisan slogan. I am offering it as the analyst whose Florida turnout model accurately predicted a series of tough elections and whose earlier Five-Point Forecast matched the 2024 presidential map.

Data from the Democracy Institute poll of Republican voters point in one direction: the party’s remaining strength is tied to voters who continue to stand with Trump. Abandoning that link after a savage midterm is not sound strategy. It is the path that leaves the American political arena open to nation-wrecking Democrats. Their younger ranks have already moved past the fringes of earlier eras. Ignoring reality will not make it go away. The ignorant only deepen their delusions.

America stands on far too dangerous ground for Republicans to turn on each other. Now is the time to unify, and Donald Trump must be the focal point of that unity.

Democrat Richard Ojeda Said He Would Be ‘Happy to Go to Jail’ for Beating Up Stephen Miller

Democrat Richard Ojeda, who defeated Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), in Tuesday’s midterm elections, expressed a willingness to physically assault President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, saying he would be happy to go to jail for doing so.

“Stephen Miller needs to be thumped. That guy’s a friggin’ worm,” Ojeda said. “I would be willing to go to jail for. I mean, how much would I get for just cracking him a couple times?”

“You know, I’d be willing to go to jail to kick the shit out of him,” Ojeda continued. “I’d be more than happy to find myself in an elevator with him, and I’d whoop his ass from the first floor to the fifth floor, and be happy to go to jail.”

Ojeda, a retired Army veteran who served 24 years in the military, also emphasized his anger with political leaders in a campaign advertisement, citing childhood poverty in West Virginia and coal miners’ pensions.

“People say that I’m angry. Well, angry is an understatement,” Ojeda said in the advertisement. “When I come home and I find that I got children in my backyard that have it worse than the kids that I saw in Iraq and Afghanistan, I can’t accept that.”

During that portion of the advertisement, an on-screen reference to an October 25, 2012, Public News Service report appeared with the headline, “STUDY FINDS TOO MANY WV KIDS GROWING UP IN POVERTY.”

“When I see companies using bankruptcy loopholes to keep repaying our coal miners the pensions that they work for, I will not sit quiet,” Ojeda continued. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have been sold out. We’ve been sold out by people like Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, and the Washington Insiders.”

“I approve this message because I am angry and I’m ready to fight back,” Ojeda concluded.

Ojeda defeated Hudson in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District, receiving 138,707 votes, or 51.1 percent, compared with Hudson’s 132,692 votes, or 48.9 percent, according to the Associated Press.

Hudson’s defeat marked the loss of the NRCC chairman’s own congressional seat in a district Republicans had held since 1963, according to NBC News. The NRCC is the official Republican Party organization responsible for winning or maintaining a majority in the House of Representatives.

Following his victory, Ojeda celebrated the defeat of the Republican campaign chief in a post on X.

“WE JUST UNSEATED THE CHAIR OF THE NRCC,” Ojeda wrote. “IT’S A NEW DAY IN AMERICA.”
