stupid stuff. there was no wrong place at the right time. in recent years, we've become accustomed to hearing how the jewish agency for israel as rescue jews from areas of distress life through the sloppy church and brought them to be here in israel. but when we hear that the jewish agency has rescued a young american jew from daytona beach, florida. that's another story paul. together the story of john daly. welcome, john. your story begins back in 1990 on a beach in florida. what happened to the 7 neo nazis can, and some of them were from the town of account that i lived in, recognize me and proceeded to do their best to do me. and they tried to kill you in general, there is no such on here. so therefore i have to refrain, okay, i mean if there are certain things, i say i literally went to prison,

one of them shouted, died, you, boy, die. they pulled me to the ocean. and 2 of them sat on me to make sure that i couldn't get up. the perpetrators of this crime are members of a known national organization who would not stop at murdering chime. in part, i think to save themselves for from prosecution somewhere. that's going to people when you committed to the get. i mean, they don't forget when you do and you don't want them to forget, you know, you want them to know what you're doing is wrong. it's against them. it's hatred. hey, i'm right here. don't forget we ever get away with in peace. luckily you survived amazingly survived. it's really hard to believe almost that this kind of anti semitism, skinhead attacks, exists in the united states. is this an isolated incident, or do you know of others like it? no, i don't believe it's nice and i think it's where their attacks may not be against

necessarily jewish jews in general, but they're against minorities. i think any attack on any minority is a, is an attack on us a 6 years after they were sent to jail. if i remember correctly, 2 of the people who attacked you were released and things changed for you. then they were beginning to some of the people went to jail for just assault and battery to went to jail for attempted murder. they were leaders in the race organizations. and they've made it clear that when they got out there, they were going to finish the job. i always thought i had the greatest criminal mind if anyone had ever met. and john love to entertain these ideas because i always had some good life. we just, you know, basically somehow stayed out of trouble last causing a lot of trouble. one of our favorite things to do with the shooting, with matching 385 shots, and we put them to work the standards or an organization such that said members

from orlando will sit around and laugh and joke around at the beginning of the evening, telling stories about the houses, the fire bombed, where the phone remembers that they shot before they began any discussions that way the, the groundwork has been laid for you understand what happens to people who just walk away. oh, i me. what drew me to john as he was very quiet, very well thought you could tell. he was an incredibly methodical person. he was like a chess players, like bobby session is always 10 moves ahead. he knew what he wanted from life. one of the same things i want valerie, i was almost like, isn't it? this is because i was very quick to react and very loud and john was exactly the opposite. very tom on collective as well. he would get mad, he would almost whisper, very quiet, smile a lot would get now in your face. move around a bunch. so it was,

it was an odd economy with the 2 of us together. for more information. he said it was his friend, so call friends. and that's when his door began to come out. ah selfish can still be the 2 where has been the best thing ever happened. time has made him humble and i used to pray god, he needs to be broken. john father came from a very violent background. he brought that into the marriage gun. you name it. i've had it held in my head to my throat. my dad, when he was younger, was a gang leader in new york city. no small thing, and unto itself, my dad with

a poor ring and see which one would fall. that was something i remember hearing more than once, various times. my family's, like. when he was younger, you ran over my grandfather and shot my uncle, me the same night about feeling not showing alone and showing your part of something, even if it wasn't something you wanted to be a part of what you were in. you know, once i was to add to it and it, you know, recruited i was top of packing or as soon as you bring, you know, 5 or 6 people to the table. also everybody was one thing that separated me from a lot of the other guys. and some of the notice was the fact that i had no tent is the only pass i want are ones that normally gave me, i wanted skins on the inside of my lip. the other tent that i wanted was a spider one showing that i killed somebody. and number one day, there was, i was at somebody's house,

one of the apartments in the area. and i grew black. i showed up and they said they wanted one of the guys inside a white guy friend of mine. and i don't know how many it was, but they just came into the door and jumped on. started been on it, got back into the kitchen, and there was a frying pan on the kitchen stove, a nice being bled frying pan and an interesting whack when they hit him in the head, hit him so hard, they didn't, the metal frame can on top of his head just the fear and helplessness at that moment that i had no one i could call no one to turn to. there's no one that i could say, hey, i need help. i could come. and that was terrifying moment because of the bullying. he had some black people, he got so he didn't liked him and it put a fear in him. and all the sudden he finds these people to be a part of his back. he was tied to being picked on and i can't say, i blame him. they're insuring against racism was basically a skin is worn,

racist. they weren't active doing much more than just seeking when the next year was going to come from and looking out for one another. and that was something that was new to me. and i was instantly drawn to it. i saw other cell address to other kumradi, the fact that they flowed to get a laugh together. and more importantly, they all had each other back. coming from being a geeky kid was picked on, you know, never felt to belong to also have people that would do your bidding. feels good. i'm not gonna lie till is good. one of the guys sensitive shirt, me white hand and the black can breaking us, wants to go. and he said, oh, it's cool that you're jewish. you, we don't have a problem with races whatsoever. there were some guys that did have racist white supremacy, tattoos that i didn't know about. they were hidden on their bodies and i didn't see and so much, much later to the guys were guns, orlando. and while they were down to the met up with some braces can heads from

a way of area and use force was laid by a guy named ritchie who was a die hard new and skinhead. one day there was a knock in my front door and he was outside with 2 other neo nazis candidates. for the back on mine it was like, if this is for you, like if they're here for you, go with them. i didn't know that the guys didn't met up with had already handed over the names and addresses of everybody where we all live. and i didn't know i was jewish. that was one piece of information that chris and he had kept to themselves. so as i rode with them and they're telling me about this organization that they belong to. oh yeah, you remember that guy, bobby? i went to different city. they found him crucified in his front yard and each one sort of started seriously. this mysterious, that the richly over the back. welcome aboard. and i knew at that moment that i wasn't being and i was being told one year now with this and to if you try and

leave, it wasn't that they did as to strangers. that refused to their friends. so at that moment i was gonna say, wait a 2nd, i'm jewish. i can't involve little that i know as meeting with my future attempted murder that day. he's trying to hide the fact that he's getting more and more involved in serious races. skinhead meetings, there was no internet, there was no computers. you didn't have cell phones. these guys are totally messed in society. i knew they could find it because you just didn't know if you'd look, the guy sitting next to him restaurant was a supporter, was active. and when you see that, at 16 years old, that you're near a police cruiser and police officer in uniform is talking to was an equal because your races and thinking, wow, i can't call the cops. what did they send this guy? they were part of your people bragging about hanging with judges junior people talking about hanging out with politicians. i couldn't type in

a google in 1990. hey, how do i get avenue not to organization? can you help me? i couldn't turn to my parents and say, hey, i know you guys, no money, let's move to another city, change your names and try and go into the witness protection program. so it doesn't work like that. i would say, where are you going, john? i'm going out, how did you hurt you 1st? it looks, bruce, i don't know. i just knocked against something. and suddenly the door was shot. i was no part of john's life anymore. i really stopped dealing with my parents and brothers and other people around me. even some very close friends. they walked down the hall in the dock. martin boots combat boots and the kids and the teachers stepped back and made way for them. and by association with your tough or not all. and you are. and you scare me, which is very attractive. somebody that months prior aah was picked up and all of a sudden you're placed in a position where hey,

i can defend myself. now. i don't know be afraid anymore. on one hand, i'm terrified that they're going to find out i'm jewish, but on the other, i think it's so far away the chances so far and so remote, so removed from me that i'm safe. now, i've actually found faith in the embrace of nazis and as a jew, so if i'm stuck in there's nothing i can do. i might as well try and be as tough and his crazy and his wildest the rest of the people around the oh, well never be a victory for russia. wait, we shall see what you're still waiting. much really need not unless you look at a meal. crane war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. naz,

oman on media comes to not should get done in carbon dioxide. america forces are in, you're not in europe to gauge in conflict of russian forces. the american forces are here to defend nato ally that happens, that nato escalates even more indiscretion. military operations become a war when you put them up. so that was a dealership and that'll that notion is my thought, i see it that i see your to us. thank you. plus list of me live. so you sleep, he shenika you stuff to with almost them. let's see. we live at home is still foolish. there in your sewage there a secret, the girl whose ah

a sampler water is thrown in the old hon and the snow falls about scheduling this concert. the last dance her. but what i feel is we sprung from dosher hours from them to literally do it in bt de shanie a gift away in the pals teacher skills on the edge on the ball asia. so was to let them know though for getting a little bolcom in the crucial chest middle school, that was all sweetness. wookey loading is not good. p t d still not what you need to do with the leukemia. what will they need? they will lit up, should we, can you video pics the will be to let you go with us. when grossi show the missed miss, they need to the neural southam off and you can give us his net. 32. it is

a battle circle. miss nancy, this material, but in the stone tossed the even the so gray, you need to locate those little bit just to look me. it doesn't help with them. you have yet to me she go, she returns country. yes. but he's not up there. numerous marriott, so to handle most of his mom will shuttle specially to renew the lease is up to engine. you took a little of doing piecemeal. mm. the american firm was a national organization with chapters all over the united states. oh, started by david lynch, who was the eastern states chairman of the american front were stenciled. we had 5000 soldiers under his command, and bob hike, bob hike was somebody that was on the raw rivera show. sick and tired of hearing his sob stories. i get sick and tired to see to uncle tom here. i

think it. oh, he's a member of our group. we're most i'm haven't even finished high school and he's had his nose and books since he was a kid. he knows the history over on world war 2, their weapons, everything about it, both sides with german side and the other side of that. so when he was involved with these people, he would keep them straight. they'd try to tell him a story and he said it didn't happen that way, happened this way. and he could produce the facts and the book in the page and show you where it happened. so these people, the leaders begin to say, hey, we've got

a kid, they can think on his feet, he's doctors out there birds and fighting and creating a rock us. he can think he knows how to think on his feet and they begin to take an interest in him. this was a leader that they wanted to train. i called me a good little racist one day when i asked about if you said anything about us or what was really back to me about your little wrist. and i'm over at the time being so touched. so for bob, this was something i was somebody that he knew david lynch as well. i was somebody spoken to in the summer of 1990. i received a phone call saying a launch in the northern florida leader of the american from all of them. a fire belongs to me. i now had in my mind a limited tower. i knew that i could pick up a song, make a call and say, i want something done and they were guys would do it. it wasn't something that i was gonna say. oh no, thank you. and truthfully,

i was honored and flattered that i had been recognized. we talked a little bit about it and i remember telling john, john, you've been to yard for shim. you see what the nazis did? they kill jews. and he just like shrugged his shoulders. like, oh, well, i distinctly remember my mom sitting me down one night and me saying, john, they're going to her, you know what she meant when they found your jewish, they're gonna, they're going to hear you. i didn't find out. john was jewish. i think until i tried to put him on the ground was ah, how i found out the eating of october, the 6th 1990. the phone kept ringing off the hook. and it was heather, the ex wife of one of john best friends. it was great urgency, she kept saying he must be on a beach. we're having a special meeting tonight. he's got to be there. and that's when

i found out i knew everybody was involved. none of these guys were going in a way to be like, hey, maybe should get out of here. every time i went into a room it was quiet like, this is weird. so it's just the weirdest 5 of i forgot. at one point someone said, let's go down to the beach and one guy hunch me behind my ear that heard somebody shot now, and the rest came. and the punches started flying and shutting out on the scan and trying to change my mind tries to trying to rationalize why this was happening. me. somebody shouted out die jubilee died. and at that point i knew there's come back. it wasn't just one or 2 cakes. i've redone, i mean it was an ongoing country. was savage beating. they were gonna kill him and they beat him up and dragged him out in the ocean. drowned him and left him

floating out to see when i called him i grant any longer and i inhaled i could feel the water had my lungs and as soon as in my lungs i shot it out in my lungs. and when i filled up again, i read the position every one that they went back until the ocean sat on him, pushed him down to the bottom of the beach. or he could feel the break of the sand on his face and held him down until he that you feel the water rush into your lungs . and just as quickly, your lungs will collapse to shoot it out. and then again, it will expand again, and it takes 2 poles here dire from to completely fill your lungs with water. and you can feel it. or you can feel it, especially october night. she can feel with that cold water hit your lungs. and apparently the doctors told my parents, you're right in saying about your son. a

had an indian doctor. they came in and looked at me and said, there is no medical reason why you should be alive. you to find something to believe in a table, a chair, you need to find something to pray to because there is something that saved your life. so at 1st i didn't believe it. and then when i i knew it was true. i was more concerned about his well being. it was our time, our little town, i'm not gonna lie. everybody, it seemed like everybody was out to get everybody else. everybody was throwing a real under the bus. so it, like i said, as soon as i graduated high school, which was quickly, i got a regular old, high school diploma. and i was like a prom dress. i was off, i ended up moving to gainesville for a bit, still in the movement, and then wound up in apopka, florida, and hang out with the same group guys, eventually that try to cause john's demise. at which time i realize

this is probably a little bit over my head. the last thread i received was a very simple in the last kind of gets out of prison for every union. all of us to go with you or we're going to finish both started. i contacted us agency and i said i knew digital now they were a jewish family in trouble. this was a jewish kid and trouble. we were not asking a lot of questions. we just wanted to know how we could, and they began to get the wheels moving, and i found myself in short order in my new home. and the state of israel were here . i felt safe. me come in, i'm come in. ready brain surgeries and that's exactly what it sounds like. you are a wait while you're going through surgery and the operating table that was strapped

down my leg, my arms around the side. i can kill them. only my scout detached it from my skill. for some reason the anesthetic that they use to know my cranium, my skull so i wouldn't feel it didn't work. so once that started sliding in, it was a pain that i can even begin to describe the neuropsychologist i was dealing with. explain to me that this was most likely the products of slow bleeding my brain shipped to me and you've had this to me for a long time. the only thing i can think of because it's bleeding brain would have been the beating of

kevin was one of my best friends at a period in my life. when my life was spoken, mirrors are sitting and standing and talking with kevin face to face. both was had guns in their hands, and it's a lot to digest. leaving israel, cutting the umbilical cord to my hospitals. i'm excited to see him. i'm excited to see who has become, where he's gone in his life, which i'm quite impressed with that. but at the same time, what if he still with the white power he open for with my name's kevin connell and i'm

a small yet and my brother was hated was a known racist thought of blacks. but they were scared of him because he was a pretty big violent guy because they couldn't or wouldn't do anything to my brother and i was a prime target. icims 14 my brother and graduated high school. i was attacked by no more than 6, no less than 4 black use, a crush my elbow socket. i knows broke my jaw. ha! had a cerebral hematoma on the right frontal lobe. i had to drill a hole for catherine. my skull. things were pretty rough. i was in the hospital for, for several months, and after that, i was enrolled in a special school for problem children that i had done nothing wrong on. while i was not bill, the local skinheads had found out what happened and they were the only people to come visit me. there were the people that showed me that i didn't have to be scared

anymore. and i got involved in the movement in tagging left by the bathroom. keep taking less. i found it straight to travel, we can not get into. hopefully, hopefully you get in there. so it's closed. i've been trying to find john on facebook for quite some time. i literally had to find everybody else from ocala and make friends with them until i found somebody who was friends with john rizoto boy with parents and kini shala's farmer. john? yeah, let's do it. like down down i said, eclectic sedan decent beers. the easiest way to recruit people into the, into the skin head moment in the white premise moment is people that are just outside. they're right on the french. they're trying to put their foot into

a quick turn or trying to belong to trying to make friends there slightly. a slightly, not everybody, not like everyone else. because when you show people a little bit of power and you show people loyalty, you'd be surprised what they'll do for you. and what they do is they go through and they take all of your failures in your life. and so, you know, wasn't a failure, it's a conspiracy. and they build a conspiracy slowly but surely and strong enough that you really buy into it. and then you're like, i am at work and these people that are trying to do this, to me, my culture, my family, my race need to be destroyed and you really feel like you're doing something for the betterment of society, erase because all they want to do is restore your race and bring your race down. and once you've got somebody like that, you've got, you've got all the war, you've got a terrorist. so it all starts at the top and i was at the very bottom. but by recruiting you're moving out and then all those people are at the bottom is

a recruit name. so it's an italy and ideology to move in to perpetuates itself. praying upon the week, the downtrodden, not too far from here in wagner was a, you know, basically trans term and can check republic funnel 100000 there, jews through send them off to, in further eastern europe to me. and i think that will so russia, morgan, a, that image of the united states, a power a a

with with i was trying to origin philadelphia got in the movement in age,

13 or 14. we were violent towards those people because we believed that we're in this race. we were here 1st and this is our country being part of that movement. i got a sense of power. when i felt powerless, we got attention when i felt invisible and accepted when i talked to level life after, hey, is an organization that was founded by for skin, neo nazi white supremacists in the u. s. in canada. and they found each other and they knew that they wanted to, the other guys get out. there's 2 parts to getting out of a violent extremist group. the 1st part is disengagement, which is where you leave the social group. and then the next part is d. radicalization where belief systems are to remove it was very impactful when someone finally came along with no fear, no judgement,

you heard my story did nothing too challenging with with headlines this hour maintain less of a day i was put on washington to stop post. yeah, thought they'd back track on the years on from a campaign. again, there was a book, china, why is 0 coded policy? this white with as being the say certain social media uses have been just still think back up, protest. and there are high hopes foot piece in the us and i think of it as it's close to ally, kenya, who's the new round of top seeking to demonstrate.
