Cancel culture is back.. But it switched sides

Backlash and Response

The video discusses backlash against Jennifer Welch and her co-host after they laughed on their podcast, I’ve Had It, about digging up Charlie Kirk’s body and killing him again. The host characterizes the remarks as praise for political violence rather than merely an offensive joke.

He reports that Cash App ended its sponsorship, while Chewy and Jones Road Beauty also said they no longer sponsor the podcast. Ridge Wallet had reportedly removed its tags from posts but had not confirmed that it was ending its sponsorship at the time of the clip.

Welch and her co-host later apologized, describing the joke as insensitive and saying there was nothing funny about gun violence. They also announced a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety. The host rejects the apology, arguing that it redirects the discussion toward gun policy.

The Host’s Argument

The video’s central argument is that advertiser pressure is a form of “cancel culture” now being used by conservatives. The host urges viewers to contact remaining sponsors and push for the podcast to be removed from Spotify. He presents financial pressure as a possible first step toward broader consequences, including deplatforming and legal or government action.

The host advocates applying pressure deliberately and persistently, and uses dehumanizing language about the podcast hosts. These are his opinions and recommendations, not neutral reporting.

Boycotts and Political Context

The video also includes a clip in which Welch calls for boycotts of Paramount, CBS, Bank of America, and Bari Weiss. She argues that audiences can prevent right-wing media from becoming mainstream.

The host says this illustrates that both political sides use boycotts and advertiser pressure. He also argues that many conservatives view Kirk as a stand-in for people who share his views, so celebrating his death feels like a threat to them.
