Jennifer Welch

Joining us today is the brilliant, noble, and hilarious Jennifer Welch — co-creator of the breakthrough political and cultural podcast I’VE HAD IT, which disrupted the political media landscape, amassing over 4.5 million followers across platforms with razor-sharp, unfiltered, anti-authoritarian critical commentary, first broadcast from the “Buckle of the Bible Belt”, Oklahoma City!  Jennifer talks with Ilana about the Bible Belt’s disturbing obsession with sexual chastity and purity culture, the hypocrisy of evangelical atonement, and how these misguided patterns have led to morally corrupt, sexually repressed politicians. Jennifer unpacks the false narrative from the Right that un-learning capitalist conditioning and standing up for human rights is somehow political “radicalization”. They discuss Jennifer’s hit YouTube channel, brand new book NOT TODAY, FASCISTS, her triumphant move to New York City, and how we are actually winning the culture wars. Come on in, it’s open!
