## What this episode is about

A summary: The piece condemns Jennifer Welch (referred to as the angry podcast lady) for making hateful comments about right-wing figures, notes her advertisers pulling back, and highlights the surrounding controversy over dehumanizing rhetoric and violent joking about Charlie Kirk. It emphasizes the backlash and calls the behavior despicable.

## Key takeaways

- Celebrity punditry as theater: toxic sentiment sells clicks, not ideas, until advertisers stage an exit.
- Assassination talk reveals deep moral fatigue on both sides, debasing discourse more than any single tweet.
- The 'angry podcast lady' archetype proves how dehumanization concepts become revenue models, not discussions.
- Backlash highlights: advertisers eventually punish incitement, even if it’s packaged as freedom of expression.
- Hate calibrated as strategy backfires; authentic accountability often follows, reshaping once-toxic brands.

[0:00](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=0) I almost never talk about this woman because she's so disgusting and hateful. But like Emily, I've got to say, you know, you you and I do this all the time. And there are a lot of hateful characters on the left in particular when it comes to things we care about. And I cannot think of one, not a single one, not this Jennifer Welsh, not not one whose death I would celebrate. Truly, I I cannot I I don't really have that in me. I have it in me to celebrate the death of like a hardened criminal who's murdering or attempting to harm my children, you know, like that, I could.

[0:34](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=34) But like just a pundit who has different political views from my own, even ones I find quote hateful or, you know, really objectionable. I just I I am never incapable of seeing their humanity. Um, I don't I genuinely don't understand what's happening on the left with this assassination culture thing and this dehumanizing people on the right whose views they disagree with. You know, all their about feeling dehumanized by a remark about Santa being white, which actually was said to me,

[1:05](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=65) a classic, right? Like that's such utter And this stuff is actually dehumanizing what they're doing. You know, celebrating the murder of right-wing pundits. Like, it's very, very dark. And I wish I had some great insight on it, but I don't. I know it's absolutely despicable. And that's what this woman's been since she really emerged on the national scene. So, her name is Jennifer Welsh. We usually just call her the angry podcast lady, but that is her name. She's got a sidekick name kick named Angie Sullivan who's just as gross. and they made this so-called joke about Charlie Kirk on their podcast on November 5th.

[1:49](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=109) Uh, Dad Mororrow says, "We're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again. I'm zooming into the fox.

[2:14](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=134) No comment. \[snorts\] No comment. No comment on that \[clears throat\] other than he was shot by somebody that was super MAGA family.

[2:20](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=140) He was shot by a MAGA person. So do that with what you will. White person. White MAGA family.

[2:31](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=151) So they're disgusting pigs. They are like pig just trying to laugh it up to get clicks with their audience. And I have absolutely no use for either one of those total twits. Um but now they're getting their just desserts because advertisers are starting to leave them in droves. I mean like scores of advertisers. And the reason the advertisers are leaving is because this wasn't a one-off. It wasn't one thoughtless moment. I mean, it wasn't even just one moment. They they laughed for how many seconds there? They were hysterical. They could barely get themselves back under control. They genuinely thought it was hilarious to laugh about the assassination of a young man who's the father of two young babies. Um, it's because this is their brand. This is their bread and butter.

[3:22](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=202) This is a day ending in why for these two on the very same show. This is what that Jennifer Welsh said. S 28. I have so much more hate to give towards him. I've barely even tapped into it. I would say out of my potential of hating him 100%. I'm only 10 to 15% there. I still have 85 more% to realize in these next two terms. You have seen nothing yet. If you think our measly 10 to 15% of hate for \[snorts\] this guy is you've never seen anything like it, sit down and get your popcorn fat ass cuz we are just getting started. I can't even begin to tell Sean Hannity how how much untapped hatred Yeah.

[4:10](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=250) I have for Donald Trump and the MAGA movement at large. I feel like I feel invigorated. Yeah. I feel like my god, I can go. I'm going to go. Here's 5% more hate here. Here's three more percent there. I will hate this forever. Yeah.

[4:27](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=267) And ever and ever. And everybody that voted for him. I want you to have healthcare. I want you to have all that stuff. But if you voted for Trump, I hate hate. I hate you.

[4:37](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=277) Good news. Birch Gold has extended the Veterans Day silver offer through November 11th. So act now to get a free 1oz silver coin for every $10,000 purchased. This silver coin features the American flag and the Gadson flag. And as a reminder that you saw the writing on the wall and did something about it. You realized we cannot afford the interest payments on our national debt. You realized inflation is still a challenge and it's time to diversify into gold and silver. Text MK to the number 989898 today and speak with a Birch Gold precious metals specialist.

[5:09](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=309) They will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold and silver and then you will receive a free 1oz silver commemorative coin for every $10,000 you spend. But this offer ends on November 11th. Diversify into gold and silver and get free silver. Text MK to the number 989898. That's MK to989898 today. And this is why we call her the angry podcast lady. Um, Trump derangement syndrome really it corrods you from the inside. It's very, very poisonous. It's really, really disgusting. It eats away your insides, your internal organs. It starts with your heart, moves on quickly to your brain, and then you can see obviously it it eats part of your face and makes your outside match your inside. And the next thing you know, you're saying like that, like openly about your fellow Americans. Um, then came the backlash because Turning Point started to tweet a lot about what she had said and so did many of us. And

[6:14](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=374) then they started to lose advertisers, one after the other after the other after the other. And now they've lost 25 advertisers who want nothing to do with this disgusting, toxic brand. And here was her follow-up statement after she tried to issue a paper statement quote apologizing. It was a lie. It wasn't a real apology. It was um she didn't mean to make light of gun violence. She didn't mean to make light of gun violence. Nothing about Charlie's humanity. nothing about how genuinely rattling and disturbing that was to most sane Americans, never mind the right wing, uh, who loved Charlie, but just absolutely no thought for people's humanity and what this is actually doing. Not to mention Erica Kirk and his children. Um, and then she must have heard from her little hateful minions who watched that show and decided to come out like, "Oh, I'm a badass now.

[7:14](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=434) Everyone can right off." And this was the follow-up message we got in ST 29. All right. There's a huge online cancellation campaign from all the titty babies over at Turning Point. Andrew, we're we're never ever going to sit down and listen to you. When we apologize for laughing at a joke on our podcast, that wasn't for you. That was for us because somebody I love very much died from gun violence two years ago and I just didn't feel good about that. I don't expect you to understand this because at turning point y'all laugh at violence all the time. For you to think that apology was for you just exemplifies how out of whack you are with where the American people are right now. Let's grow this thing and show Turning Point how irrelevant they are. I don't think that her podcast is going away. I think she'll plug it in and get subscriptions.

[8:13](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=493) And but what I am concerned about is that there is an audience for this. That this is scratching the itch of some some number. I don't know. They're never ranked anywhere. I have to be honest. I watch the podcast ranks. You're never up there, sweetheart. And you never will be with this brand. Um but some collection of leftists is getting off to this and that I do find deeply disturbing.

[8:36](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=516) Yeah. She gets a lot of big interviews and has really fashioned herself as more than a podcaster but also an activist and agitator for the party to go in a much more progressive direction which I mean it's all it's odd. It's a lot of it is uh her anti-Israel sentiment that she tries to channel into these interviews with major politicians. But uh she she's not just a comedian, right? Like she's not chapo trap house. She's somebody who's trying to actually be an activist within the Democratic party and a serious political commentator that gets really big interviews. So I think there's a significant difference. If your part in the if your part in the political ecosystem, the ecosystem of the discourse is a comedian, that's one thing. If your part in the ecosystem of the discourse is to be a like serious podcast commentator slactivist trying to nudge actively the politics of the Democratic party in an ideological

[9:22](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=562) particular ideological direction. If you're part of that movement and you are seen as a significant part of that movement by the politicians who sit down with you then yeah you're going to have to you're going to have to reap the consequences of this type of thing. And I just like I don't like the idea of pressuring companies to make speech related decisions. It's I just don't like it. And I've seen it too many times. I understand why that's happening in this case particularly. It's not because somebody said uh that, you know, a biological woman is not a man. Uh this is over a joke about a political assassination from somebody who wants to see herself as sort of like the tip of the spear for the Democratic party going in a further left direction. And it's just so sad. I mean, even her bringing it saying, "It's not for you, Andrew.

[10:04](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=604) It's for us. It's about me. It's because I like it is all just profoundly sad." She has built her personality around anti-Trump politics, around anti-conservative politics. Going back to their days at Bravo, their entire shtick was being anti-conservative Christian, anti-eangelical Christian. They have built their entire lives around that brand. And it has to be it has to be so painful and exhausting and sad. And I feel like you can see that. They would never admit to it publicly, but you can just see it. It's sad. It's sad. They need something more fulfilling and positive to center their lives around than this. Because going off about how bitterly you hate

[10:41](https://reclip.me/podcast/megyn-kelly/leftist-host-jennifer-welch-starts-losing-advertisers-after-her-disgusting-charlie-kirk-comments/transcript?t=641) your fellow countrymen, how bitterly you hate people who are also just trying to do the right thing but disagree with you.
