of getting any recoupment of that, but also just as they align their financing For any project they might have that that level of psych control, you know Makes the banks and whoever else is involved in financing be able to have some some confidence in that as well So I think that we will visit that topic quite a bit as as things move along Did others have questions or comments for this brood so I'm sorry if this was already addressed but given that Because I am certainly not a professional in this area I think we're gonna have to tear it down because we could have used it for leisure services offices And we didn't I mean it's not if it was good for office space We would have used it for those offices in addition to programming Isn't to say brand-new amazing things don't get developed every day and so maybe there is a way but Given that if it does need to be torn down Is it subject to demolition delay and so I think it's the usual well I mean obviously it's only enough, but there's no reason why it's not exempted for any reason So that would be that would still be an issue So people don't need to panic that it's coming down anytime soon as part of what I'm trying to get across here And the reason for the earliest of the language is just to ensure that people don't say later I wish it had said this other thing So that's all I'm concerned about so if people want if it's possible to get it out a few days Given that we don't have a meeting next week if it's possible to get it out to the select board and then just say Feedback to the town manager, and if you don't care to look at it in more detail, then don't complain on the 19th So but I think that's an important point if the select board feels like we will transfer the property But we don't want the building torn down If that's a value that you're gonna say we want to put on that warrant article or whatever Or if you care if you don't care if it's gets torn down or not You might be in a position where you might have to pre-think that idea During the during the warrant article or something that will certainly come up. I would think at the town meeting if nowhere else So I'm two things one I expect the warrant article will be mute on the issue of what the future of the building will be The second thing I want to say which goes in part to responding to mr. Steinberg's question earlier about the timeline One of the members of the trust is Tom Kegelman Who in his day job does development in the city of Springfield and elsewhere in the Valley? And one of the things Tom has talked about is One of our goals should be to put together a request for proposals that not only describes the site and What we like to see but also offers a package of what the town is willing to support Which obviously in this case would include the property it might include cpa funds We have requested that cpa move a certain amount of money into the trust And if we have control over it at that point that is one of the things we can offer so I think my point is is We're not only thinking about the property but also trying to structure a process and a request for proposals that will be as Welcoming to an appropriate developer as it possibly can be the questions I Just want to as a follow-up into something that mr. Ockman said It's not goodness for me a question of whether I have an opinion one way or another on The nature stark nature of that building but it's actually a decision of the Star Commission as to whether it feels that it's historically significant and therefore wants to impose a one-year delay as happens Periodically including the Red School House of Amherst College, I believe And I think that's the you know just factoring that into the timeline thinking It's better Mr. Bachman speak for himself on that because I think he was saying something else so my that you're not yeah, so my Yeah, I think the delay is one thing But if the if you if the board or the town feels that's an important building from the town's historic And we don't want it torn down You control that at this moment in time and you cannot let it be torn down If you don't want it to but if you say we don't we'll leave that up to the Decision of the development team. That's a different decision just to follow up that sort of gets into the policy we just adopted a few hours ago and because this is essentially we're doing this because we're viewing this is surplus property and The Not tearing it down Really is only an appropriate thing to do if we have a feasible alternative use for it It's good like I agree, but Regardless of how I might feel about That building and its significance The desirability of keeping it or the practicality and maybe not keeping it I think it might be good to Have a kind of courtesy visit to the historical commission just talking about How this might play out and how the decision-making might go because I can see We're gonna get to town meeting and if they feel like they haven't been part of the conversation at all You know like any place rumor start and Questions come up and I think that kind of just You know look we would like to use it, but we don't know if it's it's empty forever. That's not actually Faving it. But I think the worst thing is if they feel like they're out of the picture and all of a sudden they read about it in the paper So Miss Brewer, I think that's a really good point. Thank you for bringing that up and referencing back and I'm gonna Argue with mr. Steinberg a little bit and is that While it might seem completely obvious to you that we would leave it up to the historical Commission to make that decision what I was trying to reflect back on was that as mr. Backelman pointed out it's within our control right now if we do this warrant article It will not be now the select board's position might very well rationally be that We're not those people. That's the historic commission's job or it could be that because In a different planet with a different set of select board members This particular building does hold a particular value for the community that we say that no matter What the historical commission thinks we think this it sounds like we quite possibly don't believe that we quite Possibly agree with mr. Steinberg, but this is our chance to figure that out is what I'm getting at even though Practically speaking that may seem like the most obvious thing to do that would not necessarily be the most obvious thing to do If a different select board was sitting here because this is a moment at which we have control before It ever gets to the point of the stroke mission and I was kind of waiting timing-wise for someone to bring up the surplus property So you win mr. Steinberg? because we talked about that at agenda setting as to how to Accommodate this particular test case given that we were just now putting the surplus property into play and I think that It became obvious that We move along with this particular project because this particular project has its own trajectory And while we can apply elements of the surplus property description to remind us of things that we're doing associated with that it is in a As though we have already determined that it is surplus property in this particular case Or we could have taken a different tack tonight if this conversation was going a different way and saying wait stop We just did this awesome policy, and we need to make sure it goes through this policy So that is another option that is available to us. It's not one I would recommend but it is one that we we needed to have this conversation tonight to make sure that It wasn't suddenly important to people that we put it through a policy that we've waited this long to have And knowing what we know about the history of this property and how it has been being looked at for housing That is not like just an idea that came up the day after we took surplus property Action so we we have some choices now that we won't have later We can't decide later to put it through the whole surplus property discussion. We can't decide later that We're willing to let the historic commission decide But we won't have a decision and so I'm I'm not arguing that we can't that we need to stop anything I'm just saying there's some decision points that we have available to us now that won't be available later Couple two quick things. I think we want The historical commission to have a consultative Salting world, you know, we want to consult with them in some ways. I would be willing to and it may be wise to have the language if possible reflect that the feasibility or the Practicality of preserving That building will indeed be looked at but to Not have the the actual decision rest with someone else. I mean, I think That decision we can authorize the decision to be made based on some some Set of something feasible, but to say it'll it'll definitely be considered and looked at but if all things point to it not being able to be kept That that ultimately would be okay, but sort of assuring people that it'll It'll be looked at And I don't know if there's a way to kind of build it build something in that talks about that without an absolute requirement that it be saved But I would want the historical commission to feel like we've heard them and consulted with them as well I Understand the words you are saying I don't know how they translate into action for town meeting, right? So I think that it's valuable input for the petitioners to consider Just right strongly consider going to talk to historic commission purely so that they're in the loop now Because they would be in the loop differently. Were we going through the actual surplus property disposition process? So I guess that the point on this is if you it depends who controls the property And if they're so if the trust controls the property and if you say we want a restriction on it That says you must keep this building for whatever reason suppose You just like the building then they put out an RPS says Develop the property, but you have to keep this building if you say we don't care if the building's up or not Then we then they do their best judgment on what is the best use of that P that piece of land So it's just a really matter of who controls the building from your perspective And you're what this Warren articles saying I believe I haven't seen it But is to say the trust will control the building and that's the pivotal question for town meeting Is to who will take control the bill to this this piece of land actually no I don't think that's precisely correct as I understand that the article will mean that the town remains in control Up to the point at which we have a developer in hand who is ready to go forward So until we reach that point the town is Retains control of the property. That's again what I suggested earlier that we wanted to avoid a situation where the trust Formally owns the property and then because one or another difficulty comes up We say okay, we can't go forward. We have to turn it back to the town with whatever legal costs and the like Need to be absorbed as a consequence of that return So we're trying to avoid that which means that the town will have control I mean in the document or the I should say the memo that Ms. Farrell and I Co-drafted that you received it does say that we will do an analysis of the feasibility of retaining that building and I would share the memo that we shared with you with The historic Commission they personally commit to doing that so that will initiate the conversation that you're asking On the other hand We have been advised to keep the language of the warrant article as simple as possible So I'm reluctant to put that into the warrant article on the other hand I referenced a kind of an outside agreement that we could have with the select board that would probably include that language In My initial conversations with sure and ever at a common and page that is exactly What she recommended is to keep the article fairly short tight and then move items like a review and practical analysis of the building to a an agreement between the trust and the select board so I think that's fairly common practice and She has drafted even points in that that would go in that document So thank you So the warrant article will connect those things though I mean the warrant article obviously won't list the points to go in the future agreement But what I'm trying to say is that so town meeting right town meetings gonna see some we don't have this thing in front of us Town meeting is gonna see something that then in addition to various verbal assurances Also says something in the article itself about and there will be an agreement My understanding is that it would authorize the select board to enter into negotiations and an agreement with the trust and We could speak to what elements would be in that It would not be drafted at that point because we don't want to presuppose But we may have some talking points or things we know will be in there and I suspect that An analysis of the financial feasibility and and how practical it would be to reuse the the existing East Street school would Be in that agreement Are there further questions or comments? Well, thank you both very much for coming and we appreciate your your input and you're in your Presenting this to us so that we're you know sort of up to speed as it were as move ahead and I know that I'm being on the trust but also proceeding my time on the trust that this is an area Physically an area that has been of interest for all time So I think it's an opportunity for the the trust to take some action Even if it's decide no, we can't do anything there to clarify that for folks and that you know You know allows us to move ahead I'm just gonna follow up since I talked so much already I thought I would go ahead and clarify not that the newspaper is still here, but for anyone listening at home who might have Sorted out that I said that we've in effect declared this property surplus while that is true in one hand It is not actually true according to the way the policy is written and it's not actually true legally and so It's a side process that's not really fitting in here We're aware of this we're thinking about the different elements that are in here, but for all the reasons we've already stated we are not You know skipping to step six and going ahead and declaring the property surplus We are working on a very specific project with a very specific group for a very specific purpose And if that purpose doesn't work out It never actually gets transferred to them and then once it changed transferred to them if some other things go wrong There's still some other things to be looked at Again, thank you both very much for coming and thank you mr. Zomek for being here as well.  All right, mr. Steinberg. Thank you. Thank you mr. Steinberg So the last thing we have I believe remaining or select board member reports And I believe all the other things are thinking I assume mr. Steinberg doesn't have anything so 930 on the side So I'm going to turn to either my colleagues and see if they have some select work I have a couple of things, but they can keep for a moment. So if either of you have some things you'd like to mention so You can talk about the Hampshire County Youth Legislative Forum We went to together mr. Slaughter and Mass Municipal Association Had kicked off their series of legislative breakfast meetings in Palmer. I'm glad we didn't drag mr. Steinberg to that one He wasn't up to a car trip for that purpose and What I will say for that event is we got to make a remark associated with Affordable housing and zoning in terms of MMA's priorities and we also got to make another remark associated with MMA's priorities around local licensing for marijuana, which I don't believe they still are elaborating on to the detail I would like them to And I expressed that to David like minute He was very receptive as you as they were on the more complex issue of affordable housing and zoning Which I'm sure Ms. Krueger could get into in great detail But the other thing that I wanted to mention associated with it is that the reason you go to those meetings is to make sure there Isn't something new you don't know about and There wasn't and the other thing that made it weird is that we were in Palmer, which is not here and Even though it's only 35 minutes away, and it could take a while to get delivered sometimes to and belcher down different representatives so senator Gobi was there and representative smaller who we don't normally see at anything and They also had magically despite the fact that we walked in right at the end of coffee and conversation And right at the beginning of welcome by host community Which is when they then normally get the long report from MMA and then you ask the legislators questions and Yeah, that didn't happen They were already talking and wrapping up when we were walking in because they had something else to be at surprise We didn't know that driving to Palmer and it was a very small crowd. So it was not the best Use of everyone's time when it comes right down to it But I did appreciate that MMA sent people out and they did talk to us And so I found that it was probably better to know That there wasn't anything new and to get our two comments in and another in another fashion Thank you Just on that was it representative go go pee so that senator Gobi So senator go be any said what other issues would you like us to be aware of and in your community? And I said sanctuary community and gun control And then later I found out that he was a Republican because I didn't know who he was and I was like, well, that probably went over We don't have one opinion that we have different opinions on where that's gonna go So no, he was cordial He was like, well, what are issues in your community that the legislature might want to know about Did that That's just my that was my add-on and also representative on Goldstein rose Yes, that is true. He did come as well. They all had to leave early. Yes So I have a few things First off We did go to the if you would be so kind just to show me again Hampshire County youth legislative forum, which was a An event put on by AmeriCorps, I believe it's most of who was there. However, it did have Represented Goldstein rose it had Senator Rosenberg was there assistant superintendent during Cunningham from the schools was there. I was there miss Brewer was there a Staffer for our senator Adam Heinz. Thank you John Gould. Yes was there And so we had this I was mistakenly thinking it was going to be mostly sort of, you know Amherst kids and a few others from maybe like Belcher town Hadley and Northampton or something But it was actually kids from kind of throughout the Piner Valley and they they brought to our attention a few few issues that were were interesting to hear about Some of them weren't sort of curious about sort of what we did and how we did what we did and so it was it was it was an interesting, you know couple hours on Friday afternoon, right and so it was interesting was also just talking about Senator's representatives dashing off things. I guess Friday was the day that they all went to about a bunch of half a dozen different things because Mr. Or senator Rosenberg and and and and representative Goldstein rose were had been at three different events that day But had been to other events in between those three events, so they couldn't have like carpooled But in this it was a great event and and it was interesting to sort of meet the kids and have a chance to chat with them second thing I want to bring up is that the PBTA hearing process for both the Changes in the Affairs as well as changes to the roots Are happening as we speak and and there was one last Thursday the first on campus at the University We had a person who'd gone to that reach out to us and and I will take their their Suggestions back to to the PBTA with me, but there's also hearing tomorrow Afternoon we can from the time. I believe it's 4 30 is the start time. It is in the bang Center Yes, it starts at 4 30 until No, I'm sorry. It's 4 o'clock to 5 30. That's what it's 4 o'clock to 5 30 It is a fairly formal process So it is a bit kind of intimidating in some ways to go to one of those Because they come in and they do a presentation for a short period of time and they take you know Sort of formal feedback from people so you have to step to the microphone and they have a transcriber there It's kind of like being a court in some way, so it's very disconcerting to people But there are many ways in which you can reach out to the PBTA They take emails you can call them on the phone leave a phone message You can obviously come to the public hearing, please I would like to encourage everyone to you express their opinions and and Suggestions, I do know that the the staff of the PVTA do take them very very seriously and try to incorporate those things that they hear about from from the riders and from the public at large into into the Next steps that they take the PVTA advisory board will actually meet on the 28th of this month And we'll hear about what was gathered up in that hearing process And then we will schedule a special meeting in in April, and I do not recall the date off hand Where we will take action relative to that hearing process, but we'll hear about the feedback and initial Recommendations to us about what changes can and will occur one other thing. It's occurring. I Want to say the ninth, but it may be I forget the date exactly an opportunity to go to Boston to a Legislative meeting relative to the RTA's and I may take advantage of that I think I have to let them know by This Friday, I believe it's next week, and if I can possibly go and attend that I will And essentially it's an opportunity for the RTA is not just our own but Franklin Worcester everywhere else to to kind of be in a room with legislators and and Impress upon them the need for a greater level of funding the governor's budget currently is is level funded from last year Which essentially turns into cuts In a variety of ways and so hopefully we'll have an opportunity to interact with the legislators and perhaps Impress upon them the need to fund the RTA is a little bit better And support our our communities in a pretty profound way One other thing I wanted to ask you actually was just The sister city The kind of kazaki reception for the youth that are coming is this month and it's soon. Do you know the date? At one point it was on the agenda. Oh, yes, it's on the agenda. Oh good. It is March March 21st Wednesday March 21st 435 30 right here in this room. That's why I want to make sure to mention that because it's coming up soon It's very brief and and pleasant event for people to to come and watch and see it's it's a pleasure to sort of Meet the kids that are coming They do a bit of a whirlwind tour Coming from from Japan to here and so they're a little Overwhelmed in some respects, but it's a nice opportunity to kind of meet everybody and and so I would encourage people to if they have an Opportunity to come and sort of see that it's nice. It's very very nice event And I think for me that is A last of the items the PVTA being the primary one of note here in the next day or so a Couple of things I'll try to be brief Last week I attended the personnel committee meeting and they Voted to Adopt the new procedure manual they've been working on for quite a while And it'll be coming to the select board now. We don't actually it's kind of funny We don't have authority over the policies or the procedures. We have Authority over the things in there that has to that cost money. So it's kind of a joint Effort and mr. Balcom might might know or maybe an agenda setting was talked about when they're planning to come To select board. It's in the offing. I just don't remember that April something And you know, it's sort of a culmination of a lot of work including the staff committee that has been working in concert with the personnel board so Just like that's a preview JCPC has been meeting every week except for the Public school vacation week we had a week off and you know, that's it's kind of rigorous when it's happening and Mr. Slaughter you recently had had that and We're meeting this Thursday and we're getting close to having heard all the Proposals and then the hard part is then balancing out funds available with funds requested That'll be coming up in the next You know a couple of weeks. Oh working hard and it's a good group. It's proceeding Just parking downtown parking working group mad. I know you'd be disappointed if I didn't say something about it We had a very good meeting. It was kind of an internal work session like okay get our act together and Last time when that group came to the slick word it collected a whole bunch of recommendations and it was sort of a package I think and I'll know more after their next meeting. There are some recommendations We've already talked about that are not controversial within the committee. We'd like to bring to the slick board sooner We might not have the whole package. There's other stuff. We're working on it takes longer and Because other things are happening in the town relevant to some of the things we've already decided about We thought we'd bring those sooner and it won't be the everything be all So I Don't have I don't know when but we're working towards coming forward with the things we feel pretty confident That committee must recommend to the slick board The work Mr. Steinberg and I've talked about before working with the sponsors of the zero energy by-law working towards a Revision that can come to Annual town meeting. I know Miss Brewer has expressed concern at valid and it's valid concern There's a lot to do in a short amount of time, but I'm pretty confident now especially after the last couple of meetings that we will have a reasonable draft or You know moving towards final language That can be brought to this board within the timeline. We talked about earlier. I Think we're close to something that could Certainly go to council for feedback and start to shape up and we're very aware that you know the sort of time is of the essence quality the Parties that have been meeting together have been meeting every week and with other meetings in between with their separate teams and work in between so It's just to kind of keep you apprised that I think that could happen For spring and that's where for annual town meeting we're shooting for and then my last thing it's not I'm putting it under member reports, but you're looking at the calendar. I wanted to mention one that April 18th, which is a select board meeting on a Wednesday that I will be not available. I don't know Exactly why maybe that's Wednesday because it's a town meeting Monday's a holiday. Okay. I won't be here that week. I'll be out of the country and We had talked a while ago and I think October our last select board retreat. Was it October or was it November? That we would have another retreat post the March 27th election because Planning we didn't know which direction there's a big fork in the road whichever way those are planning We'll have to address that so I Thought maybe soon not tonight, but soon if we picked a date for April April's a busy month for people I'm gonna be away week and mr. Steinberg has some stuff coming up that we might want to hone in on a on a date And I had some ideas of maybe restructuring a little bit What what time we did it and how we how we manage that but? Just planning ahead it might be good Pick that because we can't do anything now, but I'm gonna have lots to think about Whatever the outcomes are so That's my pitch So associated with that. Do you want to come up with some potential so you're talking about in April? Because April isn't busy enough Well, I want you want to wait. I know yeah an April retreat date and so We should bring that to the March 19th meeting then and I'm saying we because Just setting or we could we could ask mr. Bakerman to have staff pull us around some possible dates Or we're here right now, right? I mean it's just those things just drag out forever is what I'm trying to get at So if we know for sure like this date in this state people are out of town, then we've been doing we've been doing Saturdays I was gonna suggest we do afternoon instead of morning Some reasons I won't get into right now, but I Think mr. Steinberg said he has some things, but they're not set yet Okay, so for sure you can't do it because you're gonna be away away from the 15th of the 20th So not that weekend after right? Right actually can't do that. Yeah first so the Saturday's no 20 no no 421 So Saturdays of the 7th the 14th of 21 at 28 Thank you You can try Come up with a time too because that'll make a difference in people's schedules If they think it's at 9 in the morning versus if they think it's 3 in the afternoon. Yeah, or For one one o'clock one o'clock, you know something like one to four Thank you I could follow up then With a couple of things so looking at our agenda planning So personnel policy revision was listed for March 19th, so I don't know if that's changed But given what you just said that they've already voted. Maybe that is indeed maybe that is it? I just don't know. I don't remember. I think that was going to be forwarded to Select board. I mean to mr. Bachlemann for Yeah, I mean it's not currently scheduled for March 19th, but I mean obviously Things get moved. No, I think that's probably that sounds like the familiar data. Just don't remember so along with what feels like 50,000 other things so what I'm wondering given the long list of things that are already theoretically happening on March 19th including complete streets crosswalk seasonal license renewal town manager performance goals update review Sustainability committee structure in charge personnel policy revision. We did need to move the municipal property up So we got that done First look at the town meeting warrant and setting our April retreat dates What my question was then going to be since we're not doing agenda setting this week and obviously Other things will happen and other things will move etc But we're trying to get everything done before we've started doing warrant articles, right? So I get that The other priests I'm wondering about though is like associate with complete streets I know they're they were planning a meeting around this time before they get it to us and with the Sustainability committee Next steps and the personnel policy if any of those things could be provided to us prior to the Friday before March 19th because even though I'm Sure, we've probably all already made plans for next week at this time because we knew we didn't have a meeting just That's a lot of stuff to absorb from Friday to Friday night to Monday night And so I'm wondering if anybody is pretty close to ready like say I'm just giving the example of personnel Send it to us now and say you're gonna talk about this on the 19th That would be helpful to me in terms of stretching out my workload because Friday to Monday is always insane And when it stays when we get lots of stuff, it's hard Just in terms of personnel when I'm remembering has many memories Is they rather than reading assuming we would read the whole document we'd get a link to it But we would get a summary memo of a page on which so that means that the people who are working on that Would need to have had the time to have done that ahead. So great idea. That's my point But I have no idea, you know, it's not just like sitting in sitting in a box after that meeting and just zoom it away It hasn't happened And that's why I bring it up tonight rather than bringing it up Thursday I know So I'm hoping that the town manager can discuss with staff what if any of these things might be available to us prior Except this is gonna happen if this was this week agenda settings not until next week Yeah, so It's not gonna happen. This is only Monday. You're saying we can't do anything until agenda setting next week That's what I'm confused about So then so then we'd have agenda setting Tuesday or Wednesday and then we'd get the stuff on Wednesday and we normally get it Friday That's not really solving my problem, you know, I really think it's unrealistic to think we're gonna get all this stuff front-loaded like you know If it could happen great, but I think it's not necessarily realistic expectation It's also a completely unrealistic expectation that this board functions Friday night to Monday night. That's insane and Most boards don't have that short a period of time doing this kind of work And so any time we can do it early if somebody can't write the memo early, fine But if they can great and you know, it's not always staff who has to write it sometimes. It's a committee member Appreciate the desire for it But there are other things For topics not anticipated If not, then I'd take a motion to adjourn. I move we adjourn second Sure, I'll second. Okay. All those in favor, please say aye. Yes It's 953. Thank you Amherst media


The school is now being recorded. Good morning everyone. We'll just open in prayer. If someone can open us in prayer, we'll begin. Father, we thank You for this day, for this time Lord. We come to Your presence Lord and we praise You, we worship You Lord. At this time I surrender this class into Your Lord Jesus. What are we going to learn? Lord, You teach us through, Lord Jesus. Give us understanding, wisdom, so we can understand deeply. Thank You Father. Once again, we praise You in Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Thank you. So we'll just, we have the last chapter of the book. So we'll try and finish it off in today's class. And then tomorrow we won't have class. I posted the final quiz and some of you answered the quiz, but there was that one question that I changed. It was given as a multiple choice, should have been a checkbox. So I think most of you responded, but I think if you have not, I sent you an email with the question, with the corrected question so you can respond with the answer. Whoever's doing it now, it's already changed. But for those who did it before, I sent them an email with the question. So you can just respond, answer the question.  Right? Final paper, reflection paper, all of that. So yeah, I think we're done with the class except for whoever needs to do the quiz. Also, I'll just confirm, but I think that you all will get like an opportunity to give feedback on class. So that will come from past Nancy from the Bible college, I think. So if that is coming in, please send in your feedback. If that's not coming in, I'll post something, I'll ask past Nancy and I'll post and you all can send in feedback. So just on any ways in which we can improve, like I can improve the classes, assignments, anything like that, if you have feedback will be very helpful just because we're all learning. So it's a good opportunity for us to hear from you and then look at better ways for us to do things. Yeah, that one. So I emailed you, no? You got my email. Everyone's done the quiz, so everyone's finished. Yeah, so we can't discuss the questions here. You can talk to me later. Okay. Have fewer assignments. What? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I... So this is the first time I'm doing with the online e-learning this thing. That was something I decided all... but four assignments was too much. But I know some classes you'll have two, right? Yeah, the reason why I wanted to do... At least I'm thinking three is to have like a quiz type, to have a personal reflection and to have a paper because based on like some people do well in quizzes, some people do well in papers and presentations. So to give people an opportunity to like... Yeah, yeah. So that was the idea behind it and to have a personal aspect where you are like reflecting on the class personally. It's not just an academic or... So I'm thinking three, but how would three be? Is three also a lot or four? Or quiz. Quiz, okay. Yeah. Okay, thank you for feedback. Yeah, so I tried to make it also a little less... like I didn't make it too complicated so that it wouldn't take a lot of time. But yeah, I think the quiz also I didn't make it too hard. I think. Yeah, but yeah, that's good to receive feedback because I am thinking about something and I'm doing it in a certain way. But how you all experience it is maybe different. Yeah, by email. You can just reply and send me an answer. Okay, so let's go into this last chapter. And there may be a lot so we'll see how we can go through it quickly. Just share screen, sorry. Okay, so we're talking about studying revival. So how can we best do a revival? The idea being that when revival happens, God comes in a new way and we want that to become the new norm, right? So when God comes more powerfully, when His presence comes upon us, how can we then allow that to become the normal in which we function? So allowing ourselves to become a habitation for God's presence where that glory, that presence continues to dwell in our midst. It doesn't go away because revival has ended. Okay, so that becomes the standard by which we function and then we want to move on from glory to glory. So allow God to then take us to higher places in revelation, in expediences of His presence. And so that's what we're talking about in this chapter. How do we prepare ourselves to become that new habitation for God's presence and then how do we allow that to become a move of God through us into our community to take that impact into the community? So the first thing we talk about is stewardship. So how do we secure? We don't want to just manage what God is doing, but we want to take hold of it and we want to pass it on to the generations to come. We read in Matthew 13, 20, 40, 30. So that's the parable of the farmer who sowed good seed, right? And then when the crops start growing, they notice that there are weeds in the midst of the crops and the farmer says that an enemy has planted this. But he chooses to let it grow on till the harvest time before they start to take out the weeds, right? So that's the same approach we'll take in dealing with when we're having a revival. There may be fleshly manifestations that happen. So some people want to take glory for themselves. Some people get very excited and they start to do things just to kind of fit in in that environment. And it's not truly the work of the spirit happening there. So how do we differentiate between what is truly a work of the spirit and what is a work of the flesh? To do that, we're going to have to wait to see what is the fruit that is being born. Then we can deal with it. So it takes us as leaders in those situations to discern what is the right time to deal with it. The things of the flesh will fade away. The things of the spirit will continue to bear fruit. So wait till that time where you're able to discern how the fruit is that's coming out of what you're seeing and then deal with it. But don't deal with it too quickly because in the process you might actually stop some good work that the Holy Spirit is doing in our midst. So a lot of misunderstandings about how the Holy Spirit moves. So when in past revivals where people saw people laughing or people barking, they thought that's not the way the Holy Spirit can move. And so they cut themselves off from that revival. They refused to accept it as a work of God because it didn't appear in the way they thought it should appear. But they didn't wait to see what happened in the lives of those people. Were they truly transformed? Did they make an impact for the kingdom? All of those things. And so they lost out on experiencing what God was doing. They didn't take part and they didn't receive it. So that's just an example of how we can too quickly make a judgment without waiting to see the fruit of it. So we look at these few points. Stewarding a visitation into a habitation of God. We'll read a few of the verses. Let's just start with Psalm 132, 13 to 18. For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his dwelling place. This is my resting place forever. Here I will dwell for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priest with salvation. And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. There I will make the horn of David grow. I will prepare a lamb for my anointed. His enemies I will clothe with shame. But upon himself his crown shall flourish. So just looking at that passage, God says that he himself has chosen where his dwelling place will be. And that dwelling place now is the church, right? Zion in the Old Testament is the church in the New Testament. And so his presence brings with a joy, brings with its strength, dominion, brings prosperity in every aspect of our lives. And so that's what we are seeking out when we are saying we want to be a habitation of God. We want to see that kind of blessing in the church. Where God is truly transforming every aspect of our lives. And how we can do that is there's a list of things. One is dealing with sin. Okay, so we won't read, go into all of these verses. Keep the house clean. So there shouldn't be any sin in our midst, especially in times of revival. We see that sin is dealt with very, very, in ways that almost seem harsh, right? So we see when Moses received the covenant, and there was the family that talked about the money they received from selling their land, right? So they said we've given all the money we received and immediate judgment comes on them. Because that was a time of special revelation where God's glory was there in their midst in just a way that they had never experienced before. So sin in those kinds of places is dealt with very quickly and almost harshly. And so there can be no sin in God's house if God's glory is to be in our midst. So sin has to be dealt with. The second is keep the unity of the spirit. So Psalm 133 talks about how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity, when believers dwell together in unity. That's when God's anointing flows. That's when God's presence is amongst His people. So dealing with any contention that's in the church, division, things that are there that need to be dealt with, not shying away from it, actually addressing those things. So it's not an issue to deal with it. How are we addressing those differences? How are we bringing resolution? So if we look at the example in Acts 6 where some of the people were not receiving the food and then they go to the apostles to bring that up as an issue. It's an issue that's there and it's at this time when the Holy Spirit is being poured out on the church in power. But the apostles deal with it in wisdom. So they deal with it so that unity can be restored. So it's not that there should not be any difference. There should not be any issues. It's how are we responding to those issues and how quickly are we resolving them? The third is keep a humble heart. God resists the proud. So especially for the leadership to be in a place of humility. When revival comes, it is God's blessing upon us. It's not something we have done. It's not like we have earned the right to receive God's presence. So having that recognition of this truly is God's grace upon us and giving God honor through all of that. Through all the attention that we may get through all the coverage that may come out. We're always giving God glory for what is happening in our midst. And the next one, keep Jesus as the focus. So very quickly it can become about the leader. When there are great things happening, everyone focuses on the leadership. Everyone's glorifying the leadership. So how as a leader will you keep pointing people back to Jesus? Keep calling people back to Him as the focus of what is happening. Him is the reason for what we're doing and making sure that people don't get distracted by anything else. It doesn't become about the leader. It doesn't become about the signs. It doesn't become about whatever manifestations you are seeing. It is only about Jesus, about His presence, about His glory, about what He wants to do in our midst. That should always be the focus. Continue to maintain prayer that fuels revival. So what happens is there are going to be more people coming in, more people to minister to, more activities that the church has to do as a result of revival. But don't forget to keep that core of seeking God. Continue to pray, continue to seek God, because that is what will fuel what God wants to do. We'll prepare our hearts. We'll prepare the ground for God to work. But if we get lost in the activities, then we are not preparing ourselves and our hearts are not ready for what God wants to do. Stay with what is important. So Acts 242 says they continued in fellowship, they continued in prayer in the teaching of the apostles. So don't forget to continue all of those things and not to get caught up in the busyness of what is happening. So that teaching of the word has to happen. Prayer has to happen. Caring for people has to happen. We are there to minister to people. We are there to truly love people to care for their needs. That we don't get carried away by the other things. Imagine news reporters coming in wanting to talk to you. Imagine tens of thousands of people coming in wanting to be ministered to. It's so easy to just get carried away. But how do we remember what is important in those times and stick with that, continue to maintain that. Consolidate what is being released. So some ways is to train people, to teach people. Other ways is to keep a record of what has happened. And then the other way is to pass it on to the generations to come. So to make sure that whatever has been received is something that we are continuing in. That it's not something that will be lost in the generations to come. So how do we do that is by passing that on to the succeeding generations by keeping a record for people to remember. So that's how we are able to take these other things and these records of what has happened in the past. And we know what God has done. But training people, raising up leaders, all of those things are very important. Create and maintain revival culture to sustain revival. So operate in that new level. Don't go back to the ways things were happening. So especially in terms of when we are meeting, how are we allowing the Holy Spirit to lead the gatherings? Are we open to the Spirit doing something different from the way we were doing it before? So sometimes we have our agendas. We have this worship for 20 minutes, worship for 30 minutes, prayer for 15, 20 minutes, sermon for 30 minutes. And we'll do only that. No one can overshoot that time. So that shouldn't be the way we continue to function. We want to say if the Holy Spirit wants us to just continue in a time of prayer or continue in a time of worship, are we open to allowing the Holy Spirit to change our own agendas and allowing Him to just do what He wants to do in our midst? So continuing to just be in that place of being Spirit-led, not going back to, okay, now we have to get back to the structure we had before. And so we'll just do the things the way we were doing it before. Love people take care of people. So keeping love as the core behind what we are doing, right? First Corinthians 13 talks about this. Talks about all of these manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit. All of that is meaningless. We'll have no impact. We'll bear no fruit if love is not motivating what we are doing. So in revival, maintaining that heart of love and that heart of truly caring for the people we are ministering to, whether it's just our local congregation or people coming in from all around the world, how are we truly loving them and ministering to them in that time? And then the last one is leading a revival. Guard what has been committed from demonic or human attacks. So it's very common that Satan will attack the work of God, right? So we'll just look at that verse Titus 412. I mean, sorry, not Titus 1, Timothy 416. Someone can read that for us. Yeah, so this is especially for the leader, right? You have to take heed for yourself. So Satan will come to attack the shepherd so that the sheep will be scattered, right? So how do we guard ourselves, guard our hearts, and other leaders who are serving with us? Just making sure that everyone is in this place of watchfulness, recognizing that Satan wants to hinder the work that God is doing. So we take that extra guard for ourselves, maintaining our own spiritual integrity so that the work doesn't stop because we fall, right? We guard ourselves so that the work continues. So we won't go into this, but there is a list of things from William Seymour's life as a leader that we can learn. It's a long list of points, but you all can go through that if you'll want to look at more of how a leader guards themselves. We'll close with this last part. So how do we move from God being present in our midst to then being a channel through which God's presence moves into our communities and impacts our communities? So the first is share the story to inspire others. Sharing what God is doing in our midst and allowing others to hear those stories and be inspired to seek God in that way. We see so much of revival that has happened is just because of this, right? It's not that one part is people are inspired and they start to seek God. One part is just through that sharing revival just spreads, right? We've seen where people went and just spoke in a church and revival happened in that church because of that testimony. So that is one way in which we can spread what is happening in our midst, take it to other places. The second, find people who are ready to catch the fire. So are there people who are hungry for more of God? Find those people because those are the people who will truly receive it and will take it to others. So raise up leaders like that. Invest in the lives of people who are in that place of seeking God. Third is impact in the spirit. So we want to release spiritual things, right? We don't want to release practices like methods of doing things. This is the way we do it. This is our thing. We want to release what are the spiritual revelations we've received. That is what we give. We impart to people and the way they express it in their congregations, in their communities, they can choose to do it their own way. They can choose their methods. They can choose their expression of it. We want to pass on the spiritual revelation. That's what we want to be very particular about. That's what we want to pass on. And then the last is release carriers of revival to take it far and wide. So send out ministers. So while revival is happening, be very intentional about raising up leaders who will then take what is happening and then take it to other places. So people who will go on missions, people who will go start ministries, people who will go spread the message to other churches, evangelists. So raising up those kinds of people who will go and spread the fire. So the last thing is the example of Evan Roberts. In 1906, he was asked, could another revival happen in Wales? And this was 20 years after the Welsh revival, which is considered one of the greatest revivals because of the impact it had on the world. And Evan Roberts' question was yes, but who will pay the price? So to be someone who can carry revival, can prepare the church for revival, it takes great, great sacrifice. So as we seek that out for ourselves, as we seek that out for our communities, are we willing to pay the price? Are we willing to sacrifice our regular lifestyles to seek the presence of God for ourselves personally and for our communities? Are we willing to allow God to use us to impact the world for his kingdom? That is something that we will need to answer for ourselves. So we've come to the end. We are finished early. If there are any things you'll want to share, we can share or we can close in prayer. Any questions, thoughts? Okay. I'll close us in prayer and we can end for today. Father, we thank you for this time. We thank you a lot for this whole semester for giving us the opportunity to look at the powerful ways in which you have moved in the history of the church, Lord.  That's just an amazing thought, Lord, that you who are so glorious, so powerful, so mighty, you want to be in our midst. You want us to carry that glory in us and amongst us, Lord. We pray, Lord, that you would begin to start a fire in our hearts, a hunger, a desire for more of you. That our desire would truly be just for you, not for the signs of your presence, not for all of the wonderful things that come with your presence, but just for us to know you, to experience your presence in our midst. Give us that kind of a hunger, a desire for more of you, Lord. That we will be people who are thirsty, who are seeking after you, always wanting more of you, even though you pour out yourself and you satisfy us that we would always be in this place of desiring more. Lord, give us the grace to make the sacrifices that are needed to seek you more, Lord. To spend more time in prayer, to spend more time in your word, to be the kind of people who seek you above all things, Lord. Even in the midst of busyness, in the midst of distractions, there are so many things that are fighting for our attention, Lord, that you would give us just a supernatural desire, Lord, that comes from your spirit and a supernatural ability to wait on you, to be able to put aside every other distraction and to just wait on you, Lord. We pray, Lord, that we would grow in you, that we would know you more and that you would move powerfully, Lord, in our lives and through us for your namesake. We thank you, Lord, for all that you have poured out into our lives. We pray that it will bear fruit for your namesake. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


Welcome back to the channel. The last time we were getting information from our server that we've been querying, you can look at the previous video that's up in the link, and someone made a comment and asked, is there a way to store this information in a JSON file, and actually yes there is by default using PHP, you can be able to store this information, but what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to extend this a little further and actually make an error log file, or save the information depending on what the response code is from my querying of the API. So we have a WP remote retrieve response, which actually accepts our response coming back from our query, which is a WP remote get function. We're going to check if we're getting, the code is usually 200 that shows that you're actually getting back the proper response from any server, even if it was our local server, the 200 code is actually what you get. So let me just actually show you that when I just do a small query here, if you go to inspect and go to the network tab, you'll see that you have a status of 200 because everything is loading from your CSS, from your JavaScript, everything is loading on the back end. That's why you're able to get all this 200. Now for the 304, those codes are for modified information that's coming back. So what we're going to do in our code is we're going to look for the code which is 200 and that is for our WP remote retrieve response code. If that is working well, then what we're going to do is we're going to actually vadam this information and throw it on the front end. Let me just try this here. Let's reload and we actually see that we get the response back in our browser on reload. So that means our code here is actually working. So what we want to do is that if there is any error, we also want to get what is wrong. We want to actually get something wrong and then we are going to append our error message. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to mess this up in jasemess.com meaning that we're not going to get a proper feedback from the server because that's wrong and we actually see that we have an internal error. Now I want to log all this information inside a file that is called just a file link is going to echo and we're going to use WP plugin underscore URL. We're going to use this global of WordPress and we're going to pass in and say we want it to come to our plugin called query APIs and then we're going to look for error.errorLog.txt that's what we want to look for and if the code is actually right instead of that dumping it what we're going to do is actually we're also going to find that and then we're going to find our file called data.json and we're going to dump it inside what's going to happen. So what I'm going to do now is actually write a new function just clean this up here and I'm going to call it function write to underscore file that's our function and it's going to expect some data or what we'll call a message that we are passing and we can also pass a file link inside it just to allow us to get everything working well now we're going to use functions from PHP straight up from PHP so we have what is called a fopen and we have fclose which closes and then we have fwrite which actually is basically firewrite or fileopen or fileclose and you can actually find from the PHP manual that there are very many other modes of writing that you do have for example we have the reading only we have reading and writing we have the write we have those that are just allowing us to append lines of code at the end of our file so we're going to use the A version and we're going to use the W version so why do we do that because we're going to look for if the file exists then we just append the content if our file does not exist then we're going to attempt to create it so how do we do this we're just going to first of all come and say we're going to have an if statement and then else we'll do the other so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to go for the file if the file exists what file exists if the file link exists then we don't have to do anything what we're going to do is we're going to use F open so we're going to pass in the file link and then we're going to say just append our message at the end of the file so what we're doing here is we're going to save this and say this is filing the action is filing so we're going to open that file and we're just going to write content at the end now how do we do that we're going to use the F write function now the F write function takes into a number of parameters so it's going to take in our filing variable it's then going to take in our message that we're going to pass straight into this file and then the next thing that we need to do on our message we're going to actually pass in some space so we do the slash and end and we are done so if the file exists let's get filing passing the message to write to our file but if that is not true then we're going to do the same process however we are going to change from just a penning at the end but we're going to attempt to write this file if it doesn't exist then the next thing we're going to do is we're going to use the F close function to say that after writing and doing everything that we want to do all we need to do is just close that file link which is our file that we pass on in through here so what I'm going to do now is actually make some changes to my error log I'm going to say my error message is actually equal to the date because I want to pass the date information to it so we'll add some strings some quotations here and so we want to get the day we want to get the month we want to get the year and then with the space we want to get the hour, the minute and the second then we'll append some space and after appending space we'll get our previous error message and just pass it in so that is our error message and what we're going to do now is we're going to call that write to file function and we're going to pass in our message which should actually be the error of our response so we're going to pass in the error message and we need to pass in the file link which is file link so this this could be anything it's just a variable we've stored now we also need to get this and say if everything comes back well then we're just going to file we're going to write to the file and our message at this particular point so we can just say message is going to be instead of vadamping this as a variable we're going to store all our response or our JSON and then I'll comment these two lines out so we get back our response write it to the file it checks for whether this file is available write it to that if that is not the case so if the response is not that we're just passing the response in here filter it out to the get error message as that and save so the first thing that I'm going to do is you realize that our URL is wrong so I'm going to reload and when I reload we have an error here because we're using HTTP to write to our file so that is something that WordPress does not allow us to do so what we're going to do is come back here oh so I made an error here we might be using the plugin URL so I'm just going to change this and call it wpir which is the plugin directory come back here and reload c line 71 fclose is asking for so the error is not closing the file link but rather we need to use file link because we're opening and then we're closing that so if I come back here and reload we're going to have this going through it's clean we'll see that our data.json is actually logged because our URL is correct and we have our information however if we mess this up and then save and come back to reload this and come back to we have a new error-log.txt and what it's doing is that it's getting the time, the day and then giving us the error of what's happening so we have an internal error server alert we actually see that that is an issue anytime we have the code response coming out well everything works out if we have a response error here then it's logged it is not any other response once if it's not 200 or it is a WP error then that would be the best way of handling this and yet relating it to what's happening here so thank you for watching this video if you liked it give it a thumbs up subscribe to the channel if you've not so that and turn on that notification so that you don't miss any new videos that do come out this challenge came from someone who wrote in the comments and it has helped me improve my code a little bit better and I think if you leave a comment we should be able to look at it so thank you for watching and happy coding


Got microphone. We're all ready to go and we're live. What is up? My brothers tonight is a very special live announcement I'm joined by Anthony the dream Johnson George Bruno Rollo Tomasi and Hunter Drew Anthony take it away. You have a big announcement. What's the announcement? There's announcements.  Yeah Thanks, Rich and thanks for having me on to announce make this announcement for the the first convention in 2019 the first 21 con It's a big deal that you guys here have known about for a few weeks something that I thought up Thanks to Hunter a little while ago and a little bit of red man group what you guys had going on with that what we've going on So basically in 2019 we have three events. We're doing there's two main events. A lot of your fans know about There's of course the Poland event gonna come a coming up in July. That'll be mid-July 2019 Main event Europe and then we have the main event in Florida coming up late in the year Those are the two that we drop in more announcements on later in a few months a few weeks from now By the first event of the year is actually in the spring It's a special event that we've never done before and I'm really excited about it So the 21 convention is known as the world's ultimate event for men It is the woodstock of the mannisfir It is it's an incredible event that all of you have spoken at and been at and it's unbelievably awesome This event though is very special. This event this spring is gonna be a special two-day event one-time event It's gonna be called the 21 convention patriarch edition It's going to be the world's ultimate for ultimate event for fathers and by fathers The focus is going to be of course on fatherhood. It's gonna be on marriage. It's gonna be on divorce It's gonna be on masculinity and it's gonna be on family and red bull parenting These are topics that obviously we cover in the red man group and we cover them at the convention But it's a very special focus I think to focus in on this and hone in on this and as much of this as we cover at the convention Building a convention for men overall and building a convention that focuses on masculinity and male self-improvement That's a huge umbrella. So this is a smaller more focused event. That's only two days long as well Rather than the full four or five days that we do at the 21 convention, which is like huge So it's a special event. We have coming up in the spring It's going to be it looks like in late April the exact dates and tickets are gonna drop at the end of January About January 27 28th will announce a final date soon here on the channel on 21 studio. It's entrepreneurs and cars and all that So it's gonna be the world's ultimate event for fathers the first time ever we've done an event for fathers And it's gonna be the speaking lineup, too. It's gonna be all fathers So I'll be at the event of course running it managing it everything like that But I won't be speaking and our chief patriarch of the event is gonna be hunter drew will be the keynote speaker Taken lead at the event opening it up and then given the keynote presentation and then the closing address as well So I'll be taking kind of a backseat at the conference focusing more managing it doing everything like that I won't be giving a primary talk at it. Maybe a little opening thing myself. That's it And I'm counting on you guys the fathers the patriarchs to take lead with this everybody here on the show today on this Little live stream will be speaking at it, including hunter of course is keynote Rich you'll be there of course George Bruno host of the 20 on report and the George Bruno experience on his channel and Returning speaker to the convention and of course the Godfather himself real to Massey We have some more speakers and get into and go through it more details But that's that kind of primary first announcement is that there's a cook There's a convention coming up this spring in Orlando, Florida And it's me exclusively well not exclusively but primarily for fathers and based on fatherhood and patriarchy and marriage and Family and I'm really excited about it. I'm not a father myself But I love to be a father and they build a family and it's also open too So I was initially going to exclusively make it for fathers and you weren't even allowed to attend unless you're a father But thanks to you rich and rollo. You guys convinced me to open and open the conference up to this firing fathers too Men still look to myself and some of the event staff who are a bit younger and we haven't had families yet or both families So everyone's welcome to attend as a man, but it's a specifically It's especially focused event for fathers whether you're married or not doesn't really matter Perfect, so yeah, that's the that's kind of the initial thing and I've more details we can get into But I think we should kind of talk about it for a bit. I was gonna say is there there's gonna be a like a Website or something where guys can go get tickets and give some information about this Oh, yeah, so is that up yet or is we're gonna we're gonna it is not up yet later Yeah, so tickets and full details including the exact dates the well the venue is always secret So secrecy and privacy and security are super important for all the conventions So the venue is never gonna drop except unless you buy a ticket But the website to buy tickets is going out later this month in January You can tune in to entrepreneurs and cars 21 studios the rational male the red man group any of that stuff And they're gonna get details on the event on the tickets how to get them all that stuff And that'll also include we're gonna now some more speakers here for this event in this live stream But the full speaking list will drop when the tickets do later this month probably January 27th January 28th when tickets go out Can we give them some of the names of the other speakers aside from the ones that are sitting on the panel right now? Oh hell, yeah So of course we're going to have everybody here. We're also going to have Pat Campbell Returning speaker to the convention from earlier this year or from excuse me 2018 at this point He's a radio host that you know, it's frequently partners up with rollo does his show and they're on the rational male channel We're also gonna have Socrates of course from the convention Dr. Robert Glover is tentatively in a returning speaker to the convention himself nice Another thing I want to mention and dr. Sean Smith will be there too, of course as ecologists you've had in your channel several times Someone else that will be there too that wall and put it this way There are a lot of speakers that we've had at the convention who are not fathers AJ Cortez at latimore men like that were awesome speakers, but they're not fathers So they don't they're not really a speaker fit for this event But I've invited all them out to the convention to attend as VIP in the audience like an attendee and I've talked to them one-on-one a lot of them and a lot of them are really excited to be at the event be there So at this convention you want to see you know, the speakers of course of the course of two days You won't just see the red man group live. We're gonna film more of those episodes You won't just have the dinner experiences that are really awesome and premium and a really intimate kind of thing You're also gonna be in the audience with other speakers who have attended spoken the convention before Guys like you know AJ and Ed should be there in the audience Another VIPs like that from passing past events George Bruno, of course, we'll be speaking to even though He'll also be double-tasking doing the report via interview series. So it's a lot on his plate, but we will we will pull it off yeah We should also add that like one of the best components of these events and I've said this before and I'll continue to Say it over and over again I believe is a lot of the stuff that happens outside of the conference area Like there's a lot of great content and good conversation that happens on the stage in the conference room But the dinners the you know the drinking parties the lobby area the you know When you leave the conference and you're swarmed and everybody's got questions They want to run stuff up the flagpole that that to me is my favorite part Like I like talking and I like you know given the presentation But I really like the interaction with people there too I was gonna say one of the like when when Anthony approached me about this idea I first of all thought it was fantastic And not the least of which because when I was doing the man-in-demand conference in Las Vegas in 2015 with like Goldman and Tanner and Christian McQueen there were guys that were coming out there, you know just to see me mostly but To bring their sons and their their sons and their sons were bringing their fathers out to to you know Would just participate that was only a one-day thing and and these guys are out there and I bumped into at least Half a dozen guys who are saying when should I give my son the rational male? Well, you know, how can I how can I help him avoid the pitfalls of you know My life is screwed, but I don't want his life to be screwed So how can I go and help this guy? You know my kid out. I got two boys When's the best time to you know to to do this or to do that? I think that this is gonna be a good This is gonna be a good opportunity for a little bit more intensive like You know focus on one thing like on on fatherhood and on parenting Obviously on marriage obviously on you know family issues and things like that too certainly on divorce Certainly on you know, should I get married should I not get married? That kind of stuff. Well, you know, I'm certain we'll have some panels open We'll have some questions and Q&A's and stuff for that too but I One thing that is unique to well was was unique to that as well as the 21 convention from 2017 and 2018 is again I met guys there who would bring their teenage sons There's why there was at least two guys there have brought their teenage son I think you've been text brought text brought his son, too, right? As well. Yeah, it was a father and son kind of thing, right? Because they wanted they wanted their boys to to I mean most of these The guy I was talking to at one of the dinners on at the 2018 one had brought his like 14-year-old son there To sit down and talk to me and talk about their situation and talk about the the fact that he had married a Like a very, you know BPD if not bipolar Mother and the boy was able to elaborate almost better than the then the husband and the father could And it was great to have that kind of interaction and you know You're sitting down there and you're talking to these talking these guys one-on-one and you're talking to two fathers in such a way That it's the old for some of these guys. This is the only place.  They're not gonna get it from from mainstream Psychologists right now anymore the we you know, we always say we're the we're the media.  I call it conventional masculinity and now it's up to us to do something Well, here we are here. We're doing something.  No, we're doing something and You know, this is gonna be something in it at this event I hope this event ends up becoming something that is an annual event that just keeps going Obviously, this is the first one. So we're kind of throwing this is like our test balloon to see if it flies, right? Yes, but I honest to God I think that this is going to be an opportunity that you are simply not going to get anywhere else you're not and If I'm putting my name on this and everybody who Watches this or who's ever seen anything that I've done. I'm putting my name on this I'm putting role of Tomasi on this because I believe that this is what's needed and this is what's necessary right now That particularly in 2019 and going forward There this kind of this kind of event.   You got George Who's been married and divorced and has three kids You know he's dating, you know at at the ripe old age of 27 Gonna be 60. Yeah, I'm excited to bring the Sultan back man. Hell yeah Like I'm like I'm telling you like I'm really looking forward to this like this is gonna be great I know from my perspective too Well, first of all hunter is the guy who really inspired very specifically this conference Because hunter had approached me in the summertime about doing a family alpha thing someday And I think we still might do that someday we'll talk more about that But now is not the time that that is gonna happen But I knew I was like dude with you know hunters taking lead on this. Fuck. Yeah But also I knew that an event is needed for fathers I'm not a father myself, but I'm a man.   You're white.  This is another new. Here's yeah, there's the extra announcement. Here's here's the extra. But wait, there's more Wait, there's more Yeah, we're gonna be adding a extra regular show to the red man group channel on every other thursday night now I'm gonna try to get tomorrow starting starting tomorrow Which is gonna focus, you know, specifically on fathers I'm gonna try to get involved as much as I possibly can if we can schedule it in so that it doesn't conflict with my Parenting schedule. I'll definitely be for every single one hunter will definitely be a part of that and You know a few other men that are part of the red man group and fathers as well are gonna want to contribute You guys probably noticed when we did the one the other week We had a full panel and I've never seen a panel that big. I think there was it was it was fully loaded It was eight or nine, right? Yeah, we had nine guys in a while. We had too many guys Yeah, it was it was it was fully loaded So, you know, we're gonna be adding that to the routine as well because it's a big question for a lot of men Whether they want to become fathers They are fathers or they're going through divorce or they're post divorce We bring a lot of specialties that can cover a ton of those areas So we'll be broadcasting there also for free on the red man group channel too Oh, yeah And we're gonna film more of those episodes live too everyone on your channel For example, just saw red man group 34 the first one we filmed live at the conference after the after it We're still working out the detail the details, of course are filming more of those at the upcoming patriarch convention But 100% we're going to film at least one or two more of those at that conference itself And they'll be even better than what we just filmed recently in Orlando every year that goes by you guys have seen You know interacting with the conference we get better and better and better Just like individual men just like the panelists here just like our audience So we'll see the same thing in Orlando coming up at that conference and the show hell. Yeah I'm not a father so I won't be on it But I'll be rooting cheerleading from the chat and I mean beating up trolls Yeah, the fact that we're doing this is incredible So the way it started out was uh, I wanted to do something with the family alpha And I didn't think anthony could do three events. I was like that's just too much So I was like, I'll take it, you know, like let's collaborate somehow and get something for the family man Because of course, that's the angle I'm coming from, you know That's what the whole message is about that i'm pushing for and then we talked to 21 kind again I was like, hey, what do you think? And then he's like, you know that that's a good idea, you know, maybe something we can make happen I'm like, oh, that's awesome. And then he texted me. He's like, dude, it's green lighted We're doing a whole 21 convention on fatherhood and I was like, holy s***. I didn't think it was gonna happen, man I was like, I'm gonna be the squeaky wheel like you basket But when he gave the thumbs up, I remember reading the text that was crashed. I was driving. Let's go. Fuck So I mean that was awesome But I mean also the show you've got you've got so many discussions going on migtow and guys going at that You've got guides for divorce You've got the playboys that are out there these young entrepreneurs But we also have men who are leading families We also have men who have children and those men are as much of a man as all these other men that we have going on And how do you make generational change? How do you how do you make an impact that's going to go on?  It's it's real, you know, because look at the local what the apa did We've recently had to go through that whole mess But I mean we are the only ones putting out this content and we're covering everything You've got guys coming from every area of life and that's what people need to see, you know Not the crap that's being spewed by mainstream media We're putting out there.  That's the kind of shit that you're going to get you're not going to get that Anywhere you're not going to get what we have to offer here You're not going to get guys who have this this degree of experience anywhere else and that that goes not just for the for the For the convention, but also for for the red man group, you know the the patriot we're going to call it the patriarchs, right?  Yeah, and I think that Again, this is needed and it's needed because When guys get together it threatens that status It's it threatens the what I call the village it threatens the the well, you know They'll left this establishment if that's what you want to call it But I mean just like the mainstream establishment if the guys coming together and actually getting their shit together and and Organizing and talking about the stuff that we do and and that and like what you were just saying It's not just You know the red pill is not just limited to you know guys go. Oh, how are we going to go get laid? You know, okay fine You know the great pick up artistry is definitely a part of that mid tab definitely a part of that You know, but what what's also a part of that is you got guys It's great to be able to get into the same room with somebody like say Christian McQueen And then I've got Hunter I'm sitting on the other side of me and then we can all have a talk and we can we can at least put in our You know our two cents about whatever the conversation is and we can take it from there Because at some point even those guys who are like the playboy lifestyle guys, they're going to want to have kids They're going to want to have You know something else that's something a little bit bigger than what they're what they're doing right now And maybe they're not and maybe maybe you need to understand that maybe there's guys who are there like Who haven't had that experience as well and they want to know they want to They want to get the kind of information that only That only like a playboy can have that can relate it to a guy who's in A marriage and maybe he takes that information and he can apply it to his own marriage He can apply it to making his life a little bit better. It's coming together and sharing notes This is actually the original Intent or the original purpose of when I was a moderator on soswaf on those on those forums We're taking it from out of the out of the digital forum realm out of just talking about it Out of just you know being behind a you know being keyboard jockeys and actually putting it into the realm of where guys are coming Together and we're we're all comparing notes We're all coming together and we're all all sharing our experiences and connecting dots and putting together a better life And we're doing it with our kids there. We're doing it with you know with the intent of As ddj likes to call it multi-generational mentorship. Okay, and that can be multi-generational can be Anything like you know you talking to your kids or it can be george bruno telling me. Hey Here's my experience when you know, I got divorced or something like that. I mean like I'm I'm I'm still open to to being educated Yeah So I want to clear up a few things hunter mentioned here in the chat that there's a lot of people asking in the live chat About speaker list So I want to clear I'll go through that again when I'm revealing so far But I want to clarify that at the main convention that's four days long We have about 23 to 25 speakers. This event's only a saturday sunday I made it that way on purpose so it's easier for fathers to get into the event You know come in friday night Go to the meet and greet you show up saturday for the conference show up sunday and then you're done So it's in and out and it's easier to attend. It's easier to get off work. It's easier to be with your family So it's a short event weekend event only saturday sunday. That's still pretty awesome actually two days long In terms of speaking lists though instead of being 25 speakers, they'll be about 13 14 total Which is still a ton. I mean it's like no small no There's a chump change on that but again, it's not the massive, you know Ridiculous lineup that the main events have which are like they're not even a convention like a giant summit This event's special and focused and it's awesome So the speaking lists though so far the one I'll reveal anyway and just the full one at the end of this month in january When tickets go live hunter drew rollo tamasi richard cooper pat cambell drew bae George bruno robert glover texas dom who's also a grandfather by the way Steve the dean williams who you guys have seen in the red man group and tanner guzzi The style expert although he has a lot more to offer and you'll see him more on the red man group show the patriarchs And I think at this convention you might see him branch more outside the style category a little more He has a lot to say and I think when his fans The more his fans have seen that the more they've responded strongly to that And I think everyone on the panel has come the same page with tanners. Tanners are really badass, dude So those guys those are the guys so far that I can announce Uh, but in the end there'll be about 13 14 speakers over the course of two days There will be red man group episodes We're going to film as well in the conference room or one auxiliary to it We'll have night events like richard cooper mentioned that are special dinners things like that that are included with your ticket We'll have like uh, like maybe a vip one you can upgrade to But also your ticket to any 21 convention event is a complete experience We don't nickel and dining for like random stuff when you buy a ticket to the convention You get the full premium experience And then also I wanted to mention too So in 2019 at the main events in poland in july and then orlando florida again later in the fall in november We're integrating into those events a lot of workshops breakout sessions are going to occur throughout the conference That are included with your ticket These are uh workshops that will focus on fitness health diet Uh marriage divorce family fatherhood pickup, uh, same matte lays all kinds of stuff, right The patriarch convention is also going to have some of that It won't be implemented because that's a big change for how the 21 convention runs So you'll see some of that integrated into this conference as well I'm going to set up workshop rooms that are limited to 20 30 guys at a time That you can sign up for for free with your ticket throughout the event and you can go to those workshops I'm even looking to getting a local attorney involved like a family like a mens rights attorney To talk to guys about now getting divorce from a non legally binding advice perspective that makes sense As well as the speakers of course, uh, i'm going to invite rollo richard all these guys to do workshops throughout the event Though we're going to specifically designed for these guys to have a much more intimate session that's not filmed So the speeches are filmed right and we eventually publish those the internet for free They reach millions of men But I want to set up now workshops at this conference that are very private and very intimate. They're not on camera So unlike in the conference room you go up on camera from 200 guys right 250 guys You ask a question that millions of people are going to see That's a lot different than going into a small room of 25 guys with rollo rich leading the workshop And you spend two hours asking questions get questions to the speaker That's not recorded. It's not permanent. It's not on the internet forever It's one on one or you know a very private setting like that So you're going to see the beginning of that in the patriarch convention and then later That'll be fully expanded at the europe event in poland and then again later in the year at the main event Awesome stoked Oh, yeah, do you want um, what about george bruno? What do you got going on man? What do you think of this? yeah, I like it I I uh My head is spinning with all the ideas that I have first thing i'm thinking of is First things to do with your kids after a divorce I mean most people go into self-destruction mode and the first thing that came to me Was self-construction mode Build yourself up rather than tear yourself down During that period of time of adjustment and I think so many men can relate to that That post-divorce they're just in a tailspin And kind of like in this death spiral And they do so many things and they just create layer after layer of things that hurt them And I would like to see people start building layer after layer of things that are going to be helping them and build their character as opposed to Wasting five years post-divorce and then having to apologize to your kids for all the crap that you went through and and the arguing and the legal stuff and You know to remain the sane one in the process hell, yeah The entire spectrum, you know the breadth of knowledge that's on here too, you know I'm looking at rollo and and uh, george and like they're so much further on with their kids My kids are nine and six so i'm on the other side of the spectrum You know, we're just coming up.  Uh, it's not an ebook You know, you can't just send it endlessly So i'm going to hard cap the attendance at some point based on the room size. That might be 150. It might be 200 Um, i'm not planning it for it to be bigger than that, but we'll see and if it sells out it sells out And you can go to you know a conference later in the year I also wanted to announce too that uh for all conventions this year in 2019 the 21 convention The patriarch and then the following two we're giving 25 off to all active duty and retired military And if you're the same price 25 off the ticket if you are 25 or under of age at the time of purchase of the ticket So if you're a bit younger you get a nice discount and if you're active or retired military You also get a discount too And just to clarify the location because people are still asking in the comments This is going to be in in orlando, correct? Yes, home base orlando florida It'll probably be at the same venue as the one later in the year So it'll be kind of a warm-up if the guys want to come back later in the year if they know the venue Uh, but again, that's private and uh, we keep it secret and only announce it to paid ticket holders So no one knows where the event sat. Yeah Yeah, that's gonna be great. It's gonna be great event Nothing too little housekeeping is we're actually moving the conference center away from downtown to iDrive Uh, one of the big guys hotel's down there and i'm really excited for that Those are super professional venues and super nice And another thing too a little housekeeping is that when tickets launch at the end of this month We'll get an announcement from you or you know rich hunter all these everybody will announce it Uh, the early bird ticket is going to be a limited time sale when it goes out And we'll save $500 when they buy the early bird ticket versus buying the full price ticket later So that's the deal that goes out and we'll see the price too and that all goes out price speaking list exact dates all that stuff cool Yep, all right So, uh, it doesn't look like there's any other questions. You guys have any closing remarks or comments before we wrap up This just you know, it was intended to be like a 30 minute announcements a couple questions and then we'd wrap it up Yeah I just I just wanted to make sure that we sort of explain the the patriarch's Show coming up. Um, remember that's gonna be tomorrow. Uh, what was the time for that? Um, I think we're aiming for 830, right hunter. Yes. 830 830 eastern. Okay. So 830 eastern tomorrow 530 pacific Um, that'll be every thursday Every other every other thursday and we're gonna have uh, you know More or less a different lineup. I think I think it'll be hunter and I to start it out with and then I think hunter's going to end up Really being the head on that one. So That that I think I think this is a good idea because I don't think there's a there's enough Really like any I don't honestly. I don't is there any other show that's like this that is Talking about people There's nothing right now. There is nothing and I'm the guy the family alpha like my blog is it This is a real version, you know, and this is a kind of shit that's going to be very threatening to the village It's going to be very threatening, you know I it's hard to To to play all the angles here Okay, because I think that if you go and you say well, I'm going to go and do a show That's just going to be dedicated to fathers and it's going to be dedicated to uh to You know being a better father or being a red pill father How do you how do you take what you know from your red pill awareness and how do you apply that in your daily life? How do you apply that in your marriage? How do you apply that with uh with your how do you teach that with your kids? So they're not making the same kind of mistakes or there or they have some sort of defense against this bullshit That they have to deal with every day in the media in school. Um, you know, wherever else they are um, and hopefully give some actionable advice and give some actionable, um You know, just maybe some techniques or something I don't know just maybe even just something to think about but like this is a kind of shit that you're never going to get from any any other place And and I think that that that's probably the most important and we're You know, we're we're talking about just like myself or maybe George Bruno and we got we got some guys lined up If you know, they have kids they're married Whatever, so it's like I'm I'm trying to I'm trying to say okay, you know, the red pill can be more than just pick up But I'm not saying it's you know, it's not Just this or it's not just that it can be it has applications across The spectrum of a man's life and this is one of those this is one of those areas Oh, I'll say too that we might see the Goodman project or some, you know, wishy-washy blue pill bullshit Try to copy us or something like this.   They're traitors. They're beating me. Yeah, exactly Yeah, and there's slaves the feminine imperative. It's horrible Yeah, and these are the guys who are going to agree with something like oh traditional masculinity is toxic You know or even just saying something about talk to me. There is no such thing as toxic masculinity There's only masculinity and there's the aspect There's the aspects of it that agree and are helpful Like when the floodwaters start rising and women need to be carried out of the area Then masculinity is okay, but anything else ends up being, you know, toxic. Yeah, exactly take. Yeah, exactly And and so that and maybe that's something we talk about and this is something that you're not going to hear from anybody else It's only going to be from somebody someone like us so So tune in Uh, if you if you're not a father that doesn't mean that there's not going to be something for you Maybe you're thinking about it. So uh, just stay tuned.  Okay, those guys got divorced. He got divorced twice Okay, he has a father. He's a grandfather. He can still relate to this kind of stuff So just don't don't just dismiss it because oh, I'm not going to learn how to do cocky funny, you know, how can I Yeah, there's other shows for you. You can watch the red man group and we'll talk about that You can watch watch about it when we do something about game like it's that's the that's the beauty of the red man group That's the beauty of this organization right now Is that you that there's something for everybody There's something for for every aspect of the red pill and this is one more aspect. So that's why Why I want to comment too that I I love how these the show the new patriarch show That for the red man group is dovetailing perfectly with the patriarch convention To me, uh, excuse the the feminine language here, but it's beautiful I couldn't ask for a better show to co-occur with an event like this. This event to me is really exciting I'm not a father myself, but I love being able to Stretch and flex my muscles as an event builder and organizer and this is perfect. Like I'm really excited for the opportunity I'm really thankful that hunter gave me the idea Maybe someday I'll pass the torch off to him to do the conference or help him in another way like that I got you Yeah, exactly. Hell yeah So it's it's really exciting Another thing too that roland mentioned was a grandfather aspect And if you're a grandfather, you are more than welcome to come out to this event We'll have at least one grandfather speaking texas dom and maybe one or two more beyond that And I don't want to leave them out. I think grandfatherhood is something I know very little about I'm only got to know one of my grandfather is kind of briefly But if you're a grandfather and you want to come out to the event and bring your son or grandson You are more than welcome to do that I would love to see a whole bunch of that at the event in addition to bring your sons and stuff like that So hell yeah, this is the event you want to bring your sons to Yeah, definitely. It's I mean You know like all those guys out there that are you know talking about Having kids and how do you have kids? Well? This will be a good place to go to.   I love it. Love it. All right.
