a person you advocate some practices preparedness, one ready for any event that would disrupt their daily routine. That is a proper. We are the proper broadcasting network. Hello everyone out there in Internet

Radio Land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. And I'm coming to you on a Friday. How about that? Man, Friday. We had half a day today at school, so I got home early here. It's beautiful outside.

It's perfect weather. And Maria has a list longer than I'll get to today. But I got to say thank you to the Intrepid Commander. Because, man, he's really boosting my ego, giving me all these accolades. and I'm just a regular guy. I'm just the guy that has had, you know, different experiences, and I'm just the guy. I mean, okay, so maybe I should explain.

He named the month of challenges after a quote, too many firsts. I have a lot of quotes. Too many firsts. establish your position and prove upon it daily. I have a bunch of things. But let me tell you about too many firsts. So when I was in Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, and I was the watch officer,

I was the one that trained all the other agency reps that came into the Emergency Operations Center. and I would have a day of orientation. And I would tell them, and we'd finish at about lunchtime after we did the training. At lunchtime we'd finish, and I'd say, now, the rest of the day, work from this location. Get into all your programs, make sure you can access everything from our computer. because the first time I see you shouldn't be when the disaster's happening. And that's where that came from.

So too many firsts. You never want too many firsts. Now let me tell you this. If you want a month of firsts, you can easily do that the first time I ever packed my bug out bag. The first time I ever put the bug out bag on my back. The first time I ever started a fire with a magnesium fire starter. The first, do you understand?

The first time I ever drew my weapon and fired two shots, rapid fire. Draw on fire. That's the way we were trained. Draw on fire. And you fire two shots. You never fire just one. It's draw bang, bang. Draw bang.

because one shot can be construed as premeditated. I know, I know. You never shoot and look and see if your shot was effective, okay? And going to the Secret Service, holy crap. The only one that shot was the guy that was shot in the chest. that man should be dead in the hail of gunfire, and no one should have missed. When I went to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glenco, Georgia, Fleetec, for two months, I took Basic Police Academy training because I was a Federal Protective Service officer.

And for two months, every other day, for a, two hours every day, we went to the range. We had revolvers. Smith and Wesson 357 revolvers, 357 Magnum revolvers. And for every other day, we fired, and we fired different ranges, different ways, different distances, loading, you know, reloading, And the days that we didn't fire, we did martial arts, take downs, apprehensions, cuffing techniques. That's what we did.

And for the Secret Service, they did way more than we did. I went to basic police academy training. I was a federal protective service officer. So it was the, you know, standard. Standard by the la la. I was top shooter, though, in my class. That was funny because three of us that were, was in Anchorage, Alaska. We went to three different training academies because we were hired at different times.

And we were all three top shooters. Okay. And when we came back, we used to make things up on the firing range. to try and trip each other up to get better and better and better. But the Secret Service did way more firearms training. We didn't shoot in anything that was moving. Okay. Ours were all stationary targets.

Yeah, that guy was running, but you lead the runner. You lead them. Which means you point in front of them before you pull the trigger. all of that guy's shots were behind the guy. And man, and he's the only one firing? Inconceivable. Inconceivable. But it just shows the level of training that's going on right now

as opposed to the level of training that happened in 1980. 1980. Holy cow. That was a long time ago. Anyway, I want to thank the Intrepid Commander for doing this, and he's putting a lot of my old shows up. You know what I get from the old shows? How, wow.

I mean, yeah, it's all good stuff. And I was really basic back then. Really, really basic. We have come so far on the Jones. Jones Homestead, Jones stead, as future Dan calls it, the Jones stead. Hey, Patriot Power Hour guys, man, news and analysis, you cannot get anywhere else. Do you know what I heard on the Patriot Power Hour was how I ran can't store any more oil? and when the flow of oil stops, water, groundwater, seeps in,

and it takes a long while to get things back to normal. And I heard it today on the actual news. So the Patriot Power Hour guys had the scoop before regular mainstream news media even conceived what was going on. and Trump, Trump is awesome. Today, because we had a half day, all I did was show Trump signing that executive order to put a thousand dollars matching a thousand dollars in a retirement account to low income. Now think about this. low income.

Anybody 18 years old that has just graduated high school is low income. And I told all my students, when you turn 18, sign up for this. Get it going because you get $1,000 from the government. As long as you put a dollar in, they give you a dollar back and it's your money. when you retire. I mean, who wouldn't sign up for that? And I don't know too many high school graduates that are middle income. I don't know.

I don't know of any. I mean, there probably are some out there, but everybody's working at sheets or, you know, the grocery store, they're doing stock and shelves. They are low income. so why not sign up for it? And you keep getting that thousand dollars for every year you are a low-income person for 35 years.

So that's $35,000, just saying. So anybody within the sound of my voice, this is when I'm teaching my kids, my kids, my students, and my daughter, who's 18, as soon as this comes out, we're signing up for it. So she has a retirement account. Anyway, I just wanted to come on here and say thanks to the Intrepid Commander. You know, I just get on here, do my best.

It's like any job I've ever had. I just go into it, do the best I can, and that's all anybody can ask, right? And that's what I did for the past three years at the high school. And yesterday, the ninth grade, actually figured out that I was not coming back because they have a different history teacher next year. And they said, why isn't your name listed? and I told them that I wasn't coming back and I said,

one thing I know for sure is that I will miss you guys more than you will ever miss me because do you remember who your ninth grade high school history teacher was? I don't. I do remember Mr. Schmell.

You know how you have all that? You have that one teacher. He was English. And he let me do a book report on Harry Houdini while I was tied up in a chair by the students and escaping from the chair at the same time. So I used techniques that I learned from Harry Houdini to escape from the chair. They tied me up and I gave the book report while I was escaping. And Mr. Smelzer said,

Jones, I don't know what you're going to do when you get older, but I'm sure I'm going to hear about you. And I just hope it's not that you climbed up in a tower and started shooting people. Because that was the time the Texas Tower Terror. If you Google that, you'll know what I mean. That was the time that was all going on. I was in high school then. Oh, gosh.

Anyway, I hope I taught those kids something, not only about history, but about life. Anyway, Peebe and family, I just thought I'd come on here since I had a half a day. And I want you to take care and prep on.
