Ron Paul joined Tucker Carlson for the latest episode of his new show, and the former Texas congressman revealed to Carlson an exact date he believes “there was a coup, and we lost our government.”
Paul, a longtime Texas congressman who ran for president multiple times, discussed his lengthy career and Libertarian-leaning views fitting into Congress during the discussion, but he also revealed the day he thought “the republic is gone.”
“The date I saw it was concrete that there was a coup, and we lost our government was on November 22,” Paul, 88, told Carlson.
The date he’s referring to is November 22, 1963, the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
“That was 60 years ago and our lawmakers never talk about it,” Carlson said.
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 Kennedy’s death. Dulles has previously resigned from his position in 1961 after reported tensions with Kennedy.
“The republic is gone,” Paul recalled about his reaction to Dulles’s appointment.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has also theorized that the CIA was behind his uncle’s death.
Paul said he remains an “optimist” despite his belief about this coup within the U.S. government and his dissatisfaction with the makeup of Congress. The congressman said he’s encouraged by how much “studying” people have done on systems like the Federal Reserve over his career. Paul wrote a book entitled End the Fed, and the short phrase became a staple for his career as he railed against the “fiat money” pushed by the Fed.
“I tell people you’re not going to get 12, 24, or even 100 new members of Congress. The system is embedded with bankruptcy and corruption that that’s not going to work, but I’m still an optimist,” he said.
