The Daily Wire posted a 96-second excerpt of the hosts' video feed from the November 5 episode of I've Had It. Jennifer Welch reads posts celebrating Democratic election results from a list shown on screen, then reads one that says, "We're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again." Both hosts laugh for about 20 seconds. Angie Sullivan then says Kirk was shot by somebody that was "super MAGA family" and Welch says he was shot by "a MAGA person". Welch adds that the only thing she ever saw Robinson wearing was a MAGA hat.
