Starting point is 00:00:00 Folks, welcome to the Eric Mataxis show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show. It's a nutritious smoothie of creamy, fresh, yogurt, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla, and a mushy banana. For your mind? Drink it all down. It's nummy. I wubb, vanilla. I wop. Banana. Here comes Eric Metaxis. Hey there, folks. Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show.
Starting point is 00:00:44 You may remember not long ago I introduced you to someone I think of correctly as a living legend and a hero. He was the man who founded and led Operation Rescue, which put the unborn on the cultural map in the United States of America. America in a way that the unborn had not been until Operation Rescue was happening. We talked about that with Randall Terry. He is my guest again now to talk about other things. Randall Terry, welcome back. Eric, it's great to be with you again, sir. I really enjoyed our interview the other day.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I bragged about you as a host, the long format. It's just great. I love the long format interview. Well, it's important. Listen, I feel. you know, I do what I do. I feel an obligation to my audience. And when I realized how few people, younger people, know of you and of Operation Rescue, you're like, that's not going to fly. That is not okay. They are responsible for this information. This information is on the test.
Starting point is 00:01:56 It's kind of like saying, like, no, I don't know about Abraham Lincoln. I wasn't born then. Well, sorry, you're responsible for that information. There's some information that's very important. You're, we can touch on this because we're going to get into other stuff. But for the those who missed the other day, tell my audience what is Operation Rescue, what it was so that they can understand how you came to be a major figure in the culture in the decades past. So in 1987, we launched this movement called Operation Rescue the Rescue Movement, and it was peaceful, prayerful, singing protests in front of a physician. facilities around the country where abortions were taking place. And we sang and we prayed and we
Starting point is 00:02:44 had people preaching. And then the police would come and say, you have to leave. And we'd say, well, no, we can't leave because if we do, there's babies that are going to lose their lives. So we ended up with over 75,000 arrests. Peaceful, prayerful, preachers, pastors, priests, charismatic, baptists. It was amazing. And we would go to jail for a couple days. have more church in jail. And it put abortion front and center in the culture. Because I was on Oprah Winfrey twice. Donahue, Dan Rather interviewed me, Leslie Stahl, Connie Chung, all these people in the media.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings did stories. So it was huge in the day. And we are now doing a documentary on it. We're doing a serial documentary. We're in pre-production right now. if people go to my website randletary.com, they can see the promo that Oprah opens. We used this clip from her show, and it was great. I mean, she was a great host and it gave us plenty of airtime.
Starting point is 00:03:54 So that's what happened. And we're now going to tell the story, hopefully inspire young people to stand for the Lord, to stand for truth, to stand for life. and but I'm also doing other things as you know we've well no I want to talk about the other things but I just want to get people to make sure they have a handle on who you are because what you did was heroic and it was historic and one of the things that you said I'm
Starting point is 00:04:27 you know very very big on the life issue when I first came to faith in 1988 I remember hearing about Operation Rescue and what you guys were doing. And I remember thinking, oh, those guys are taking it too far. Oh, I don't know. I don't know if that's really, that's so activist and so harsh. I remember having those thoughts. And so I can sympathize with people who do not understand that you're supposed to stand up for your faith heroically.
Starting point is 00:04:59 When Dr. King marched and they set the dogs on them, and all that kind of stuff happened. They did that because it was the right thing in a righteous cause for God's purposes. In letter to the Birmingham jail, Dr. King writes about civil disobedience. An unjust law is not a law you're obliged to follow. And you guys lived that out.
Starting point is 00:05:30 And over the decades I have come to see, it didn't take me too long, but eventually to see the rightness of your activism for the right thing. And just people need to know about that. And I do want to say that before we go on to other things, you mentioned it. You're making a documentary called Dragon Slayers. Yes. How can people know more about that or help fund it?
Starting point is 00:05:55 If they go to Randallteri.com, they can watch it. And then there's a button at the top that says Dragon Slayers. That goes to a crowdfunding site if people want to have. help. We would be honored. And we need prayer. We need help. It's a huge undertaking because we've been hauling around thousands of documents, news stories, photographs, hundreds of hours of video footage that's pristine, beautiful footage. It's a documentary maker's dream come true what we have. But it's also, it's overwhelming. It's massive. Look, there are people who listen to this show who could fund the whole thing. And I just want to say,
Starting point is 00:06:32 listen, I need funding for projects that I'm working on, but God's people have the ability to fund these things. If you care about what is right and true, if you care about what is right and true and you don't act on it, if you care about what is right and true and do nothing and you don't spend the money God has given you and do what you can, God doesn't, you don't get credit for caring. You have to act. So I hope people will go to randletary.com because telling this story will enable the current generation, the new generation to understand what their role is and it will inspire them. Folks, the time is now. So go to randletary.com.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I would just be thrilled to see dragon slayers become a reality. The story of what you all did, people need to know. Somebody else should be making this documentary, but we live in a, messed up woke world where, you know, people don't do that. So God bless you for being willing to do that. Now, I got to ask you, you know, Operation Rescue was shut down in 94. Janet Reno, you told me this the other day and I had forgotten this. And this really affected me when you told me this, Randall, so that's why I'm repeating it. You said that Bill Clinton's attorney general, Janet Reno, made it her number one priority to shut down you and
Starting point is 00:08:02 and Operation Rescue, the most powerful pro-life force in America. And the priority of the Clinton administration was to shut you down. When I heard that, when you said that the other day, it shocked me a little bit. I felt guilty, how did I not know that, that they were gunning for you, and they did shut you down? Yeah, they, Janet Reno said in a press conference that her number one objective was to silence and get rid of operations. rescue to get to just break our back and they they were successful i mean that's what ended up just literally crushing us i mean the full way to the federal government it went from you know doing protests and sit-ins in local municipalities and going to court in front of a local judge to now
Starting point is 00:08:52 the FBI is going to arrest us and the attorney generals of the various areas are going to prosecute us in federal court so on the day you know it just had an overwhelming impact on us. But the God in his goodness, the scripture says, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it abides alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. And when they did what they did, it was sending Operation Rescue to seed. And all those thousands of people that were in the streets said, okay, fine. We'll go into politics. Yeah. And all over the country, these same activists ended up running for office, becoming a part of the Republican Party, and pushing the agenda, pushing the religious right into the Republican Party in a way that, you know, there's a book sitting here on my shelf, Wrath of Angels. The premise of the book is that Operation Rescue fueled, funded, gave the manpower of the religious right and made abortion a fixture in the Republican Party.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Absolutely. And thank the Lord for that. And if it weren't. for that. Rovi Way would not have been overturned. We'll be right back talking to Randall Terry.

I've talked to him before. I'm talking to him again because he's worth talking to on any number of levels.
Starting point is 00:11:41 You can find out more about what we were talking about by watching my previous show with him. You can go to Randall Terry.com to find out more about him. or you can watch my show with him on Rumble, which I recommend. But I want to talk to you today, Randall, about what you've been doing lately. One major part of which is making films. You have a film called Time Boys. First of all, if people want to find Time Boys, what's the play? Where can they go to find it before we start talking about it?
Starting point is 00:12:22 You can go to timeboys themovie.com. Timeboys, the movie.com. And it is, it's also on platforms like PureFlix is airing it right now, Amazon. There's Ridgestone media. People can find it. You are a, you're a Christian, you love God, and you're now a filmmaker, and you're making films like this. How do you get, first of all, tell us the plot of Time Boys before we get into the background? So it's a really phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:12:52 story, I mean a family story. My son got cancer. We moved to Memphis and we had to stay here because of all the complications. He's alive. Thank God. But in the middle of his treatment, the boys were younger and they said, Dad, you do television. You've got all this gear. Let's make a time travel movie. So we wrote the script and we hired professional. Wait a minute. Your son said, hey, dad, let's make a time travel movie and you didn't go, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe. You said, okay? And you actually made a time travel movie called Time Boys. That's kind of, that's a kid's dream come true to have a father crazy enough to be like, yeah, let's make a time travel movie. So you, what gave you the idea that you could make a time travel movie?
Starting point is 00:13:35 Because a lot of times people have ideas, but to actually make the movie, you know, I've seen the trailer. It's obviously, you know, the real thing. You pulled it off. But how did you, what gave you the idea that you could do this? Well, I had been doing television and radio for decades. and we had a lot of good gear. And I hired a kid right out of film school. Actually, I hired three.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I hired a director of photography. I hired a script writer who ended up helping us, not with the script, but with other elements. And then I hired an editor. We got some professional actors. And we had a homeschool community that was a big part of our lives. And this homeschool community rallied. and moms and dads and kids literally gave up their entire summer. And we just filmed and filmed and filmed.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And we had, I don't know, we had like 30 sets. I mean, it was a huge production. And we've won over 60 awards with this movie. And then we ended up, I wrote all the music. And we ended up getting some of the most famous musicians in the world singing and playing for the soundtrack. Because the movie was about done and then COVID hit. And we thought, oh, man. And then we just started adding songs and adding musicians.
Starting point is 00:14:56 And these are literally legendary rock and rollers. Alice Cooper's guitar player, Alice Cooper's keyboard player, Gary Stewart Ham, one of the most famous bass players in the world. Corey Glover from Living Color. Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister sings in it. What? It's just, whoa. I'm not kidding.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Oh, what? Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister? I'm in. No, wait a second. It's kind of funny because when you, I mean, I got to read this. It's called Time Boys and you can find out at Timeboyshtoncom. You can see everything. Time Boys, Movie.com. But it says four teenage boys from 1908 are accidentally hurled more than a century into the future. They live in shock, grief, acceptance, and then resolutions striving to build a time machine to return to 1908. how I wish that were possible. While in the future, they confront and defeat the school bullies. The movie has a world-class soundtrack complete with a battle of the bands in which our four heroes showcase their musical talents. This is like nuts.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I mean, honestly, how many kids do you have? I don't remember. The four teenage boys. I have seven. I have three from my first marriage and then four with my wife. All four, all boys are, they were three, two, one newborn. So it's like this little pack of wolves or lions. and they grew up as a team, and they're all musicians.
Starting point is 00:16:22 So when you see that scene in the movie, in the Battle of the Bands, they are playing. I mean, these guys are, my sons are literally all professional musicians. Two of them are in college right now on music scholarships. So when you see those boys and me on stage in the scene of the Battle of the Bands, we're really playing. We wrote all the music, and that song is my kids playing. And also at the beginning when they're in 1908 and they're all. playing banjos and mandolins and all that.
Starting point is 00:16:51 That's them playing. That's impressive. You could save a lot of money by having the actors play the actual instruments. You know, man. Yeah. Okay, but so, you know, when they said, hey, we want to make a time travel movie. Obviously, it's timeboys, the movie.com. But where did they get that idea?
Starting point is 00:17:09 Like, what did they say, we want to make a time travel movie, you know? And why did you take them seriously? What's wrong with you? That's my real question. What is wrong with you? you're not i know when when he when michael was suffering with cancer your whole world changes
Starting point is 00:17:26 and it's like you can't you can't do enough and when they said that all i could think was okay and we kind of put it off at the beginning and my wife cornered me one day and said look you told these boys you would do this time travel movie and you better do it your credibility as a dad is on the line with them that is pretty funny
Starting point is 00:17:45 I mean, this whole thing is beautiful and funny. Obviously, this is a family film. This is the kind of film. Eric, I got to tell you, it gets better. Time Boys 2, the sequel, is in the can. It's being edited right now by a Hollywood editor. And Time Boys 2 is a man and three girls get thrown to the past, and they go to these boys in 1908.
Starting point is 00:18:13 So there's this family connection. So Time Boys 1 is the kids come from 1908 to the future. Time Boys 2 is they go from the future back to 1914 right at the start of World War I. And in Time Boys 2, we have world famous musicians playing on stage with me. We have a fictitious band called Old School Legends. So Brian Titchie, who was Ozzy Osbourne's drummer, a founding drummer for White Snake. He's in it. Al Petrelli, who is the musical head of Transambrian Orchestra. We've got Eric, I'm sorry, we have Gary Hoey, who's a phenomenal guitar player,
Starting point is 00:18:53 Stuart Ham playing bass, Derek Sherinian playing keyboards. We're on stage playing, and it was like my dream come true. So now the little boy in me gets to come out. How do you know, like, what is this? Because you live in Memphis and there's a lot of musicians hanging around. Like, how does this open up for you that you're working with all these world class musicians. Well, we've been doing an album called For the Journey, which was, it's the, it's basically the book of common prayer put to music. So while we were doing that, I have a friend
Starting point is 00:19:28 named Phil Berger who played in a whole bunch of famous bands, and he was helping me lay down guitar at American Studios, which was built for Elvis Presley. And we, Eric, Phil says, You know, I know Derek Shermanian, and I know Al Petrelli, you want me to ask them if they'll play in the movie? And I thought, well, sure. So we started pulling these threads. And once, because it was during COVID, everyone couldn't tour. Everyone was bored stiff. And we're pulling these threads.
Starting point is 00:20:00 And one after another said, oh, sure, I'll do. Oh, sure, I'll do it. And everyone, like, they would vouch for us. So Corey Glover from Living Color, you know, cult of personality, the huge. band. Cory Glover's bored. So he sings a song and it just, it starts giving us credibility. So
Starting point is 00:20:19 you pick up the phone and say, hey, we got Derek Sherinian and Corey Glover and Dee Snyder singing you want Eric Gales, you want in. And so Eric Gale says he'll come in. And then Jeff Scott Soto, who was the lead singer for Journey, he's in it. The founding guitar player
Starting point is 00:20:35 of Skillid is in it. I mean, it's just, it was crazy how it all came together. It really was a God thing. Well, I assume so. It is amazing. You, so timeboys the movie.com, that's the movie we're talking about, but you've already filmed the sequel. Holy cow. So Timeboysthemovie.com will tell people everything. But just say it again. So this starts out in 1908. And then for these boys, they get into some kind of hot tub time machine, it sounds like. The father is an inventor and he he lost his wife. He's a widower and he's frantic to build a
Starting point is 00:21:19 time machine to go into the future, get medicine for his wife and then go back in time while she's still alive. And he figures out how to time travel, but he can never go back further than he is. So he can go forward. But then when he comes back, he's always where he is, but he can never get to her sickbed. So the boys don't know he's doing this. And they're running one day away from somebody who's a villain. So wait a minute. So the kids don't know Pops a time traveler. That happens a lot in families. No, he's an inventor. That happens a lot in families that
Starting point is 00:21:48 kids don't know that, you know, pop is back in the 1870s. You know, he goes there. He's got a different family back there and we can't talk about that. We'll be right back. We're talking to Randall Terry. Go to Randalletary.com. Tell me why Relief Factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night. I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they
Starting point is 00:22:23 believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal, and I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug-free ingredients, and each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief.

Starting point is 00:24:09 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm talking to the filmmaker, Randall Terry, not to confuse with the other Randall Terry's. You can go to Randalletary.com, and you can get confused even more at randletary.com. But if you want to stay focused, Time Boys, the movie, we're talking about Time Boys. This is obviously, as we said, this is a family film. You made it with your kids.
Starting point is 00:24:48 It's just kind of an extraordinary thing. I think everybody's dreamed to have a dad who would do something crazy like this. But just to be clear, you, as much as you've done for your kids, you never created a time machine for them, did you? No, and I wish you Shame on you. Shame on you.
Starting point is 00:25:05 A real father. No, the fact that you said you're going to make a film about time travel, I still can't get over this, and then your wife says, now, you said you're going to make a film, you know, wow.
Starting point is 00:25:16 So you actually went and you did this. I still can't believe, like, how did you fund this? How did you, this is a huge thing you've done. It was a, it was a massive project. And we had over 200 people involved. When you see some of these scenes,
Starting point is 00:25:29 how big the scenes are we built a fair we built a fair for 1908 and horses and animals and goats and pigs and rides that were era rides from 1908 it was just a massive undertaking you built era rides from 1908 yeah you'll see it in the movie all right that's just too much that's just too much here's the bottom line you're just making other fathers look bad now rangel terry all right you didn't need to do this i got to make me look bad i've never done this stuff Yeah, but you've been in movies. And you and I both know that in the culture wars, the storytellers are critical.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Yeah. And the bad guys, you know, look at what has happened to Disney and Marvel and D.C. I mean, it's tragic what's happened. So I'm a student of Francis Schaefer. You love Francis Schaefer. He was always saying, you got to be in the arts. You got to be in the arts. And so I thought, all right, you know, in my life, I've been writing books.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And, you know, I wrote a play. And then finally when my boys were putting the screws to me to do this, I thought, all right, I'm doing it. And I mean, you know, now one of my boys, he'll mock me. The kid who survived cancer, he'll be like, you didn't even know what you were doing when you made the movie. I said, I know I didn't know what I was doing, but I still did it. So, and we won over 60 awards, literally. In fact, last year at the NRB, our band, our family band played at the awards night. for the film awards that was going on.
Starting point is 00:27:02 And, you know, I'm proud of my sons. I admit it. I'm proud of them. Time Boys 2 is going to be even better. And we are in the story writing stage of Time Boys 3. So we'll make a trilogy of time travel movies. This summer, the reason I'm growing my beard out is this summer we're going to shoot another movie, an action movie, about a mom who dies from fentanyl.
Starting point is 00:27:25 So that's a more serious topic because the boys are older. and the fentanyl crisis is really consuming a lot of lives, as you know, tragically. So we're going to do a more serious one. And two of my boys, they're going to direct it. I'm letting them, like, okay, guys, you've got great talent. And we're shooting this movie. And my oldest boy, Randy, I said, Randy, I want you to direct it. And he talked to his brother, Justin.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Justin is super artsy. And they said, hey, dad, have you heard of the Russo brothers? I said, of course. He said, well, we want to do two brothers directing the movie. I said, fine, that's what you want to do, do it. I haven't heard of the Russo brothers, but I've heard of the Terry brothers. So you're, man, so you made Time Boys. People can find out Timeboys, the movie.com.
Starting point is 00:28:18 By the way, if people want to hear the soundtrack for free, it's on that website. It says buy the soundtrack. but the algorithm, the program we use will play it for free a couple times through, and then you have to buy it if you want it. But they can listen to these fabulous musicians, Saving Abel. They're a huge rock band right now. They're on the radio all the time. They play in the movie.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I mean, in fact, saving Abel is in Time Boys, too. They play like Zizi Top did that one time travel movie where they were playing back in the 1800s. Saving Abel plays in the 1914 portion of the movie for this. I don't know if I asked the question, but what was it that, forgive me if I've already asked this, but that made your kids say, let's make a time travel film, not just a film. Like, how did that?
Starting point is 00:29:13 They were watching a lot of stuff. When Michael was sick and he had spent a lot of time in the hospital, they would go and they would get a little iPad or a computer or whatever and they would watch different movies together and the four boys just pile in a room together and they just got fascinated with time travel movies and for some Justin was the one who said we need to make a time travel movie dad and not just any movie it's got to be a time travel movie so I said okay we would sit in the living room and I would have the computer and I'd be typing and they would be spouting off all these ideas and I would be
Starting point is 00:29:53 typing and then finally I said all right I got enough here I'll go write the script so I wrote the script we hired the crew we bought the gear you make it sound so simple like you too
Starting point is 00:30:07 can have tomato plants in your garden it's very simple just buy some plants we did a we did a thing called so you want to make a movie rather than do the making of time boys we did this 17 minute
Starting point is 00:30:23 thing so you want to make a movie and we tell what we did and basically say run the other way don't do it you've got to be out of your mind don't do it and then we have all these different moms and dads volunteers talking explaining how we pulled this off and where can people find that i believe it's on the time boys the movie dot com yeah i believe it's there and if not as long as you believe it's there as long as you believe it's there time boys the movie dot com you got to be crazy The good news is you are crazy in the best way. That's a compliment. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Welcome back. I'm talking to Randall Terry, whom you must discover for yourself at Randall Terry.com or on the Rumble channel for this program, the Eric Mataxis show. You can watch the two hours I did with him talking about the story of his life, which is extraordinary, folks. I want to recommend it to you. If you get my newsletter, go to Eric Mataxis.com. When we sent out the newsletter, you will get this video. You've got to know who I'm talking to. This is not just some guy who made Time Boys, the movie, as important as that is, as wonderful as that is.
Starting point is 00:32:00 So Time Boys, the movie has to do, you said earlier, Randall, with trying to save a life medically. Yeah, that theme is in Time Boys and Time Boys. two, which I'm very excited about. I'm very thankful for. You know, I want to encourage, because I appreciate you, you know, teasing me about being a dad, but when I look at King David in the Bible, and I see this boy out in the wilderness watching sheep, he could have become bitter, he could have become lazy, but what he did was he used his time to learn to fire a slingham. and got so good that he could do it on the run. And then he also learned to play an instrument because the Bible calls him the
Starting point is 00:32:53 psalmist of Israel. So when our boys were little, and I'm having, this is an exhortation to moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas. When our boys were young, we said to them, look, you're going to eat, you're going to grow, but you're going to learn math and you're going to learn English, and you're going to learn at least two instruments. All of them were required to play the piano, and all of them were required to play the piano, and all of them could pick another instrument.
Starting point is 00:33:19 And so the reason I'm saying this is because we're desperate in America for people who have a gift with the arts. But a lot of it has to do with discipline. And I don't want to practice. Too bad you have to practice. And so you can just see King David out there with the sheep. But he's also using his time wisely to learn to throw that sling, to learn to sing. to write poetry, to play the instrument.
Starting point is 00:33:48 He was so good that when he played for Saul, the demons left Saul because of David's playing. So I'm just urging moms and dads out there. I know it's a pain, but buy yourself a keyboard, get an 88 weighted keyboard. They're $200, $300 now. And just say to your kids, you're going to get piano lessons and you're going to play.
Starting point is 00:34:09 And if you want to play the violin or you want to play the saxophone, that's great. But the piano is the foundation. of Western music. And if they don't want to do it, you got to threaten them. You say, you're going to sleep in the crawl space tonight.
Starting point is 00:34:21 You want that again? With the snakes and the bugs? No, maybe that would be, maybe that would be going too far. That might be a little much, but yeah, you get the point. So we, that's,
Starting point is 00:34:30 I don't know where that came from. I'm a sick person also. That's why I like you. You're crazy and I'm crazy. But no, but it's, it was a source of, it was a source of stress at points. Yeah, and it's not, yeah, I mean, it's hard. Of course, being a parent is a source of stress.
Starting point is 00:34:45 because, you know, you're, you know, you think of God's stress with us. When you love someone, you know, you want to train them in the way they should go. And it's not easy because they don't get it. So how wonderful that you and your wife did this and that your boys, now men, are musicians, and they're able to enjoy these things. But I just think it's fantastic that you're making these films and that you get that. it's kind of interesting that Francis Schaefer, you know, he wasn't the only one to make the case
Starting point is 00:35:19 that Christians ought to be involved in the arts, but he was one of the principal ones for many people to kind of make us understand that that is valuable, that that is God's mandate to us. And then when we ignore that and say, no, that's just worldly nonsense, oh no, oh no, not at all. So we've abdicated the arts in many ways, and as a result, we end up in the culture of death,
Starting point is 00:35:43 in which we live. And so these things are very, very important. So once again, we're talking about the film, Time Boys. You can find out more at Time Boys, themovie.com. And obviously, Randall, people can find you at Randall Terry.com. And they owe it to themselves to find out the man behind Time Boys, Time Boys 2, Bride of Time Boys, Time Boys, Meet Aberin Costello. My book just came out. I just, last week, Divine Correction, How God Gets a Nation's attention, So I worked on this book for three years. I've studied the topic for 40 years. It's a comprehensive study of how God deals with nations, starting with Genesis and going through all the way to
Starting point is 00:36:27 Revelation. So if people do give a donation to help us with the series, the documentary, we'll send them a copy of this. Okay. I would love to get a copy of that, and I'd love to have you back just to talk to you about that book. But today, of course, we've been talking about Time Boys, the movie, The Movie, Tom Boys, but you can, not Tom Boys, Time Boys, Time Boys, The Movie.com, which is a family film. And it really does seem like it's available practically everywhere. And so people can see it and they can see the sequel eventually. They can watch the trailer.
Starting point is 00:37:08 If they go to Time Boys, The Movie.com, they can see the trailer. And we've, we ended up having really good actors in the movie. One of the guys from Walk the Line was in it. A couple who has been in NCIS and worked with Harry, what's his name, Woody Harrelson, and Kevin Costner. So we've, it's just a really good movie. And one of the reasons it turned out so well is because we had professionals edit it and re-ed it and re-edit it. And, you know, my respect for the film industry has gone up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Because now I know how much work. You know, I like making documentaries. You map it out. You get your interviews. You decide what clips you're going to use. It's way more like math. But a live action movie? Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. And they say don't make a movie with children, with animals, or make it into rain. So we chose two. We did kids and animals. Wow. It's just, it's crazy. Well, we're just, we're excited for you, for everything you're involved in. I do want to have you back to talk about your new book, Divine Correction. What's the subtitle of that?
