I mean, most people have "free" shows, but the audience can still contribute. It's the basic structure for most online shows and, even the ones that are paywalled usually have a free component to hook people over and drive discoverability. Most shows are free.
If it's free, who is funding it?
Silly question, and you obviously want the answer to be Big Whamen.
Your question isn't valid it's absurdly obtuse with a sprinkle of im14andverysmart. He gets paid by the Daily Wire. He gets paid by ad revenue from advertisers on his show. He makes additional money for speaking and selling books the value of which increases due to his visibility from the podcast. He's not doing the show for free nor did he (again, to a person of normal functioning) suggest that. You get to watch it without having to go through the Daily Wire paywall which, in normal parlance, qualifies as free.

Yes, but all those "free" shows are on platforms where ad revenue gives some kind of safety net.
What I want the answer to be doesn't change that the question is valid.
