Tucker Carlson continues to have a larger audience on X, formerly Twitter, than Fox News. Millions of people watch his videos. His latest episode is an interview with the greatest libertarian of our time: Ron Paul.
Of course, as a libertarian, Paul believes in limited government and self-government. But that’s something the former Texas congressman no longer believes Americans have.
In fact, Paul told Carlson that the day “we lost our government” was when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated nearly sixty years ago.

Ron Paul pinpoints the day Americans lost their government
Among the many things they discussed, Paul told Carlson, point blank, in their interview: “The republic is gone.”
Paul then explained: “The date I saw that there had been a coup and that we lost our government was November 22.”
He was referring to November 22, 1963, the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
“This was 60 years ago and our legislators never talk about it,” Carlson responded.
From Mediaite, “Paul believes the CIA was directly responsible for the assassination, saying he saw the death of the ‘republic’ when former CIA director Allen Dulles was allowed to serve on the controversial Warren Commission, which investigated the death of Kennedy. Dulles had previously resigned from his position in 1961 after reporting tensions with Kennedy.
“The republic is over,” Paul recalled of his reaction to Dulles’ nomination.
The story continued:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also theorized that the CIA was behind his uncle’s death.
Paul said he remains an “optimist” despite his conviction about this coup within the U.S. government and his dissatisfaction with the makeup of Congress. The congressman said he is encouraged by how much people have “studied” about systems like the Federal Reserve over his career. Paul wrote a book called End of the Fedand that short phrase became a staple of his career as he railed against Fed-promoted “fiat money.”
“I tell people you’re not going to have 12, 24 or even 100 new members of Congress. The system is steeped in bankruptcy and corruption and this won’t work, but I’m still optimistic,” she said.

The libertarian essay
Paul has probably done more than any other political figure to raise public awareness about the Federal Reserve and what this institution does to devalue American money. It’s something Americans may pay more attention to now that inflation continues to rise.
Ron Paul obviously thought that the turning point in the Americans losing control of the country came when JFK was assassinated.
It’s hard to argue that he might be right.
