Tucker Carlson received $15 million in funding from 1789 Capital.

So in 2023, when Tucker was setting up his new company after getting the boot from Fox, he got funding from a firm called 1789 Capital, which is run by an anti-woke businessman named Amid Malik. Incidentally, last month it was announced that Donald Trump Jr. is becoming a partner of 1789 Capital, joining Malik and Rebecca Mercer. How about that? According to Reuters, quote, the idea for 1789 Capital began at a secretive conservative donor group, Rockbridge Network, which was co-founded by Buskirk and VP-elect JD Vance. When Tucker launched his first sponsor was an anti-woke app called Public Square, SQ, Public SQ, whose board of directors includes 1789 Capital founder Omid Malik. How about that? Seems cool and no big deal that this company gave Tucker $15 million.

Alex Jones is a capitalist who sells products to fund his operations and does not receive funding from Democrat donors or George Soros.

I am a capitalist. I didn't get $10.6 billion from Democrat donors and George Soros like Black Lives Matter. So I don't get any funding like Antifa or BLM. I don't have people volunteering to do my security. I pay my security. I don't have the Boogaloo Boys volunteering for my security. I pay for my security. So, I mean, I'm a capitalist.

Dan Friesen claims the Guardian article cited by Alex Jones is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

This article was published under the Global Development Initiative at The Guardian. And if you actually read the article, there's a little icon that says supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The content is editorially independent, but the only reason a lot of this reporting that Alex is relying on to build his completely nonsensical and exploitative narratives exists. The only reason it exists is because of money donated by the very people he's trying to paint as the arch villains who are trying to starve the developing world.

Anthony Fauci is not on Bill Gates's payroll; the NIH funds research that also receives Gates Foundation support.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease is a government agency. It's funded by tax dollars, not grants from Bill Gates. It's one of the institutes of the National Institutes of Health, which is contained within the Department of Health and Human Services. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease is really in the same kind of lane as the Gates Foundation in that they both fund research. So it's pretty easy to connect Fauci and Gates that way. A simple Google search will pull up articles about joint ventures between the NIAID and Gates, but it doesn't prove that Fauci got money from Gates or that he works for him.
