It wasn’t random. It was financed.
That’s the explosive claim from Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, who joined Sean Hannity to pull back the curtain on what he calls the “protest industrial complex.”
Bruner says more than $300 million in donations from billionaire foundations — including Soros, Gates, and Zuckerberg — have helped bankroll Antifa and the “No Kings” protest movement, transforming street unrest into a well-funded operation.
According to Bruner, President Trump’s domestic terrorism designation is now cutting off that financial pipeline, threatening the money flow behind the movement.
“It won’t deter the crazies, but it will prevent the funding mechanisms — the people bankrolling this,” Bruner told Hannity. “I applaud President Trump’s leadership on the designation because it’s drying up the funding sources. Zuckerberg and Gates have pledged to stop, and even Salesforce’s Marc Benioff has called for National Guard intervention in San Francisco. That’s a huge reversal.”
Bruner added: “What Trump’s leadership is doing is cutting off the financial oxygen. As for chaos on the ground — we’ll see hotspots. I’m in Florida, so I’m not worried, but in Portland, Seattle, Chicago — expect flare-ups.”
Journalist Andy Ngo joined the segment to describe his own near-fatal encounters documenting Antifa violence — and how a compliant political media has normalized the chaos.
Together, Bruner and Ngo delivered a chilling warning: radicalization isn’t bubbling up from the streets — it’s being funded and organized from the top, putting public safety and democracy on the line.
