Speaker 3 (0:00) The most shocking part of the story of the USS Liberty, the American ship bombed by the Israeli government back during the Six-Day War in 1967, is not simply the facts of the case. 34 Americans murdered by the Israelis, 171 wounded, bombed, strafed with machine gun fire, etc. That's a tragedy and it's shocking. But the most shocking part of the story is that the U.S. government, beginning with the then president, Lyndon Johnson, covered it up. prevented the survivors from talking about it, prevented the public from knowing that it even happened. That's ongoing, by the way. American officials still refuse to talk about what happened to the USS Liberty, by and large, with some exceptions. So that's the part of the story that really makes you wonder what is going on here. It's one thing for a foreign country, foreign government, to murder your citizens. That does happen. Speaker 3 (0:54) But the idea that your own government would take the side of the foreign nation as it murders your people, the people your government is in charge of caring for, that is really stunning. And you have to ask why. Well, in some cases, of course, just a product of evil intent. There are bad people in positions of power. But for the most part, it's not active evil. It's passive evil. It's the result of moral cowardice. It's more painful to take the side of your own people than it is the side of a foreign government. Therefore, you take the side of a foreign government. That's just the truth about the way most people are, unfortunately. So as you think about that, you think about the depth of the betrayal involved in the aftermath of the USS Liberty murders. Speaker 3 (1:42) You think, well, that couldn't possibly happen now. Well, in fact, it is happening now, right now. More than a dozen American citizens have been murdered in pogroms in the occupied territories that Israel controls, the West Bank. And they've been murdered by Israelis, mostly Israeli settlers, the ones conducting these pogroms. armed by the U.S. government, carrying American rifles. And if you think the term pogrom is too strong, you don't know the details of what's happening there. Israeli settlers, many of them American citizens, carrying American weapons, murdering. the local population, Palestinians, some of whom, more than a dozen of whom, have been American. And by the way, who are prohibited from defending themselves. They cannot carry weapons, of course. Palestinians can't carry weapons on their own land. But Israeli settlers who seek to steal that land can. So this is these pogroms have been ongoing, of course, but most Americans have no idea that American citizens have been murdered during the course of them. And they have no idea because the media, by and large, don't report it. And American officials have no interest in talking about it. So, we want to bring you a very specific story of a young American man, and by American we mean literally American, born in the United States, worked at his family's ice cream shop in Tampa, who was murdered last summer in July of 2025 in the West Bank. He was murdered attempting to go to land that his family owns, has a deed to, not owns in some conceptual sense, but literally owns. And he was killed by settlers, none of whom have ever been punished for that crime. And under normal circumstances, we would give long monologue about why this is bad. Of course, it's self-evidently bad and what it means. But we've just conducted two of the most extraordinary interviews we've done in a long time, one with the father of the boy who was murdered and another with an American journalist who works for a Christian and Catholic publication who was effectively prevented from talking about this entire topic, who was censored on behalf of the Israeli government. In the United States. So these two interviews answer at least two questions. The first is what is happening? You may not know the details. Speaker 3 (4:10) with your money in your name to your fellow citizens in a foreign land. And the second is, why haven't you heard about this? Why is there effectively a media blackout on the details? Not a total media blackout. In fact, we're about to play you a clip from CNN, which to their credit, they did about the murder last summer of the boy from Florida. But by and large, the American media do not report on the details of these crimes, of these pogroms. Why is that? And the second interview with the editor, former editor from this Catholic publication, gives you a sense of just how the news coverage is shut down at the level of the news organization, what the censorship looks like within the newsroom. And so we want to frame the first interview we're about to bring you with that clip we just mentioned from CNN. which has video in it that you may not have seen, but this is something worth watching. So what you're about to see is video of the father accompanied by a news crew attempting to go to the place where his son was beaten to death during these pogroms. Watch. Speaker 1 (5:17) Kamel Muslit hasn't been able to reach this land in over a year. This is the hillside where his son, Saif, an American citizen, was killed. Speaker 5 (5:27) It's like it's down here if you want to walk. Speaker 1 (5:29) beaten to death by Israeli settlers exactly one year ago. Since then, settlers have illegally occupied the area, preventing this father from getting the closure he so desperately seeks. We Speaker 5 (5:43) have Speaker 1 (5:43) to keep an Speaker 5 (5:43) eye because Speaker 1 (5:44) usually they'll come down that way. But this solemn, sacred moment won't last. Within seconds, we spot a car speeding towards us. We start to leave, but as we drive away, we see that four settlers have set up a roadblock. Armed with clubs and rocks, they try and block our way. First with their bodies. Speaker 1 (6:04) And then... And now it looks like he's trying to slash our tires. He's trying to slash our tires. Speaker 2 (6:08) Oh, he's got a knife. He's going for our tires. Speaker 4 (6:10) A Speaker 1 (6:10) group of independent journalists and activists are in the car behind us. Speaker 4 (6:15) Move! Move! Move! But their Speaker 1 (6:17) vehicle isn't armored. But the settlers aren't done. More arrive, blocking another road before chasing us and attacking us again. Speaker 3 (6:31) No, they're trying to stop our car Speaker 2 (6:32) again. They're hitting us. Speaker 1 (6:37) We finally make it back to safety where I get on the phone with the Israeli military, which is responsible for security in this area. But settlers have also called the military. And these soldiers are only interested in harassing us, refusing to take action against the settlers. Speaker 3 (6:54) That man, as you just saw, is called Kamal Mousselet. He runs an ice cream shop and a smash burger store in Tampa, Florida. And we're about to bring you our interview with him. And we're not going to say a lot more because nothing we could say would be half as affecting or informative as about as what you're about to hear him say. But we just add one thing. You will hear him describe his efforts to get the attention of his own U.S. Senator, Rick Scott of Florida. Now, keep in mind, Colin Muslatt is from Florida. He grew up in Clewiston, Florida, right near Lake Okeechobee. He's not some foreigner. He's an American, an American citizen and has always been. His family is. parents were American citizens. And of course, his son, now gone, was an American citizen too. Rick Scott is the Republican senator who represents him. And yet Rick Scott has refused to meet with him. Rick Scott is always welcome on this show to explain why. Consider this an official invitation to Senator Scott. But keep in mind as you listen to this, that his representative in the United States Senate, Rick Scott, has refused. to meet with him or do anything to affect justice in this case. The killers of his son remain unpunished. So with that, here's our interview with Kamal Mousselet. Kamal Mousselet, thank you so much for joining us. So I'm hoping you'll tell us the story of your son. And I just want to be clear for people watching that he was an American, not simply a green card holder or even a citizen, but a birthright American born in Florida, fully American. And he was murdered. in the occupied territories by settlers. So tell us who he was and what happened, if you would. Speaker 5 (8:39) Sayfullah Musallat, my son. My name is Kamal Musallat. Sayfullah Musallat was born in Port Charlotte, Florida. He was working at an ice cream shop in Tampa, Florida. And me and him, you know, built it together and we opened it up and he was serving ice cream to kids. You know, that was his job description. Sayfullah. in the summer of 2025, July. He was in West Bank, Palestine. He wanted to visit his family. He wanted to visit... My wife was there at that time. And his siblings were there. And honestly, he wanted actually to hopefully find a potential wife. He wanted to get engaged. And he said, maybe I can find my spouse there. And so I told him, you know, I was debating because business was booming and the ice cream shop was doing well. But he convinced me that let me go there for now. I told him, okay, but what we'll do is that we'll kind of switch places. You know, I'll go take care of the ice cream shop while you go there. We spent some time together there together. We spent our holiday, the Eid, and we attended my nephew's wedding. which is his cousin. And I came back to the States. I left him there. So Israeli settlers, since April of 2025, they've been... Speaker 5 (10:23) basically trying to steal more land. You know, the land theft that they're doing and the land theft that they're getting away with. And since April, they've been coming to our town. It's basically across from our village. Across from our village, meaning these two big mountains or hills. One of them has the homes and schools and so forth. And then the other one is kind of like open field, but it's part of our village. Tucker, as you might have heard before, our village consists of 80 % American citizens. Speaker 5 (11:01) Yes. Al-Mazra'a Sharqiyah and most of Ramallah area. So like my father is the one that came to the States. Speaker 4 (11:08) My Speaker 5 (11:09) grandfather came to the States in 1895 on a boat and lived in New York. My father came in the 60s. So, you know, I'm second generation. I've been here for years and I grew up in Clewiston, Florida, a small town by Okeechobee. I know it, yeah. I went to Friday night football games, you know, that's who we are. Speaker 3 (11:42) Eating right's pretty important, but it's hard if you live here. About half of the American diet is ultra-processed foods, and that hurts you. Fake food harms your body, your mind, and especially your liver. So people think that feeling sluggish and foggy and bloated is just... what it is to be older, but that's not true. Eating crap makes you feel that way. Well, our friends at Dose have a solution. It's called Dose for Your Liver. This doctor-approved, plant-based liver supplement is clinically proven to promote liver function and lower liver enzyme levels. That means you're less bloated, less tired, you feel more like yourself. All you need to do is take a daily two-ounce shot, tastes like orange juice, an easy shot of liquid, it's not the vax. People we know use Dose for your liver and they have seen rapid results in their blood work and they feel much, much better. The difference is very obvious. Lots of brands claim to support liver health, but do so before their products have gone through testing. This has been tested. Everything checks all the boxes. Visit dosedaily.co slash Tucker.

My older brothers were born in the States and so forth. So our village, just like my father, most of the older generations, they moved to the States. So 80 % of our village, it consists of 20,000 people. Only 4,000 live there. And 15,000 live abroad, either in the States or South America, and most of them are American citizens. So most of these American citizens own these lands. I own a piece of land in this mountain. And the Israeli settlers have been going there since April 2025 and preventing us from getting into our lands. And as you know, Tucker, there's area A, B, and C. Believe it or not, this land where these settlers are at right now, this moment, as we speak, I can't get to my land. It's Area A and Area B. It's not this Area C disputed Oslo agreement saying that it's under Israeli authority. No, this is under Palestinian authority. But the Palestinian authority doesn't even go there. We don't go there. So they were trying to get to their land since April. And week after week, they were attacked and attacked and attacked. And it just, you know, it doesn't make sense that we can't get to our lands because of five or six or seven of these Israeli settlers attacking us. You know, they're armed with M-16s. They're armed with sticks, with rocks and so forth. And every time someone would try to go there, they would get hurt or attacked. But it's our right to be in our land. This is land that is owned by us. It's land owned by American citizens, Tucker. There's many Americans all over the world that buy land and own land in many foreign countries. So that July 11th, just like every other week, many people were trying to get into their lands. they were prevented by these Israeli settlers. Saifullah was one of the people that was trying to get to his land. I have land there that's about an acre land there in area A. Speaker 5 (15:27) There wasn't many settlers or they didn't see many settlers. It seemed that they had an ambush ready for them. When they got there, maybe 50 settlers, a mob of them, ambushed. Speaker 5 (15:47) Saifullah ambushed his friend Muhammad Shalabi, attacked many other people. That day, his friend Muhammad Shalabi was shot in the back, a close friend of him, a Palestinian, but his name is not known as much because he's not an American. Saifullah was beaten to death that day. And what happened was that Speaker 5 (16:14) The ambulance, a first ambulance was trying to reach him. And on the way there, it was attacked by stones and had to go back. My other son, Muhammad, when he heard about this news, and I'm in the States, Tucker, Speaker 4 (16:30) right now,
