And I look at it and I think, well, my family's been here for six generations.

And I was told that when I was seven years old by my dad. Because, again, he won a Texas competitions and stuff in science, and his mom was a principal and school teacher and stuff. She got him involved in all the different things, and they said, oh, there's a thing, you know, Eisenhower's program, he was already out, but it was the program he started, the WizKid thing, and told the story before, but it's important, and you can look up the WizKid thing that continued by Kennedy, and that's what my dad was involved in by then, and they said, well, you're joining this thing, it's by the National Institutes of Science and all of it, and your first job when you're 15 is, we're going to sit you down to... Houston. At MD Anderson Cancer Research Facility. And I'm sitting there seven, eight years old. My dad's explaining this to me. And he went back to me after about a year of that and said, I'd like to be transferred. I don't like this part of NASA. Of course, it wasn't NASA. And I was Department of Defense doing that.

Like my mother's grandmother, who was not in the books or anything, but was pretty much the most famous with the establishment. Psychic. For quite a while, presidents came to visit her in Dallas. She's a channeler.

And the Great Depression that hit Texas really bad because of the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma, my family was... Pretty much aristocracy. They were the wealthier people. Hell, my family owned a railroad. Now, it was a limited railroad from Teague, Texas to Fort Worth and then over to Frisco, but they owned a railroad. And, of course, you can see how for a few generations that all got pissed away. But they... They lost most of what they had in the Great Depression, and they were rich. And they knew how to skin a buck and run a trot line. Now, and they took care of a lot of people, but by the end of the Great Depression, my grandmother told me, her mother told her about it, because she was born back then, but was little. And there was a magnolia tree, right, at the one ranch house that hadn't collapsed, that's planted by her grandmother. So it's like 150 years old now. Big giant, biggest magnolia you've ever seen. But the point is, is that after 10 years of depression, there were almost no deer, no rabbits, no squirrels, and they were eating possums. And during the Depression, a couple days a week, they would put on a big feed in the backyard for 50 to 100 people to come eat for free. And this isn't some leftist virtue signal. Most of them were black.

But the point is, is that, is that he had first-hand experience with the Nazis. Firsthand. And not when he was in the military. I mean, that was another experience with him. They were all over Dallas, all in the German community. And he got a first-hand look at them.

Well, they do it by increments. They do it by increments. And again, I wasn't ever told any of this because it was dangerous stuff. But my dad was really close with his, quote, uncle's earliest cousin. They grew up together, you know, on the same street, same farm. And he went away and was in the army in Vietnam and all that stuff and came back and all that stuff. And, you know, growing up, we'd go visit and he was gone sometimes there. But, you know, he would just have his cows and he bred rabbits and ate those and he was a big farmer guy. But sometimes he would just have to go away on business all of a sudden. And later he told my dad, many years before he died, that, yeah, the government's bad and it's out of control. It's bad. Blah, blah, blah. And what he'd been doing for many years. From the time he was stationed in Germany, in Europe, and then on through, he'd get an order to go kill somebody. And then he was doing it for the Army Special Operations and for the presidential orders. And then they wanted to be more clandestines. They said, well, we're going to have you try out for the CIA. We're going to give you a big position here. But... We want you to go to Chicago and do some stuff for us. So he was in Chicago for a while. And then he said they asked you to do something so horrible. He wouldn't say exactly what it was. He never told me this. He told my dad about it. Until... He told me a little bit, actually. But he read my book, my first book. Shut up! One time we were sitting around at Thanksgiving. And he's sitting there looking at a.45. We're at the adult's table. Obviously. You know what? You can have it. The kid's table has smaller guns. I just read your book. That you, you know, published a few months ago. He goes, you're lucky to be alive. He goes, I'd be surprised if you don't get killed for that. Because, you know. And then I didn't have the full story that he was actually sitting there telling me how dangerous that was. But he knew. But he was basically asked to kill a whole family. And I can kind of suss out because a lot of these, what they do is if they really want to demonize somebody when they kill them, they come in, they tie you up, however they do it. And then they tell you, if you don't. Fill out this suicide note. I'm going to kill your family. And your wife and kids are tied up in the corner. Sure. And as soon as you do that, they just basically use the note. Then they kill your wife, kill your kids, and then they kill you. And then they put the gun in your hand and say you murdered them as that deal. But what he described was basically kill a family, and he wasn't going to do that.

And at 14, Union Carbide says, out of Houston, David Jones has just won this one contest. We've got another contest for him. I'm sorry, were they? And if he can pass this, he's going to give it a very special offer. And he's got five days to complete the task. A truck is arriving in three days. Their ranch, their farm, working farm in East Texas. This truck will self-destruct. I was going to say, yes, this has to be. And lowers a big crate in the front yard with no plans or no designs. My dad tears it apart and in two days... Builds a high-powered ruby laser that was some type of cyclotronic... Cyclotronic? Particle beam. Cyclotronic particle beam. Yep. And starts... Late 70s? No. Frying metal. So glad it was metal. He was wearing three pairs of sunglasses. He was blind for a month. Burned his eyes. They thought he'd never see again. They came back and they said, Mr. Jones, you're being recruited by NASA. You're going to be put in Plan 2 in six months when you're 15 years old, and you're going to be part of NASA.

But I know he developed secret weapons for the Pentagon.

My grandmother's, my great-grandmother on my mom's side was, like, one of the top psychics, but she was not public. She was secret in Dallas. Like, the U.S. presidents would come see her and stuff. So, I mean, and my family wouldn't even talk about it.

Well, my dad was a chemist. He was one of the top chemists for Exxon, actually, and he did his dissertation for his PhD. Now, we looked him up. It's pretty amazing. Yeah, I mean, so he was a co-inventor of Saran Rap, and he was like the leading guy, the leading chemist on plastics.

My mom's brother had been a big helicopter ace in Vietnam. And then he was involved in Iran-Contra.

And I had some other family that was involved in clandestine stuff and, like, Army Special Operations. And that was back when it was all human intelligence. It wasn't digital. It was, like, hit teams and, like, real stuff and, like, killing Russian spies. And, you know, stuff in Germany. I'd be sitting around, like, eight years old hearing these stories at the table, you know, with family talking about it.

Of course, my ancestor, my mom's side, owned that land, sold it to then come start the Texas Revolution.
