  "summary": "Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, hosts of the \"I’ve Had It\" podcast, issued a joint apology on Saturday following backlash for laughing at a joke regarding Charlie Kirk during Thursday's episode. According to Variety, the hosts characterized the joke as insensitive. Deadline reported that the hosts expressed regret for laughing at a midterms joke concerning the September 10, 2025, shooting of the Turning Point USA founder.\n\nTheWrap reported that the incident led to advertisers such as Cash App and Chewy cutting ties with the podcast and prompted a boycott led by Kirk's supporters. In a statement posted to the podcast's Instagram page, the hosts said that regardless of political differences, there is nothing funny about gun violence.\n\nTheWrap also noted that the hosts have long supported common-sense gun safety reform and have made a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety. The hosts stated they will continue to use their platforms to fight for the safety of all Americans.",
