Summary

Charlie welcomes Michael Pack, writer/producer/director of "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words" along with Mark Paoletta who served in the White House as Assistant Counsel to President George H.W. Bush and played a key role in the successful confirmation effort of Justice Thomas—to discuss their new book all about the life and story of one of the truly great Supreme Court Justices in American history. After Michael Pack spent 30+ hours interviewing Justice Thomas and his wife, Ginni, for the documentary that goes by the same name as the book, Pack and Paoletta took those transcripts, and using 95% of new content that is only found in the book, the two detailed Justice Thomas' unparalleled and controversial confirmation process, his positions on precedent, abortion, and how he has become the de facto leader on the Supreme Court to this day. Next up, Charlie welcomes Justin Olson who is running for Senate in Arizona. Olson lays out his case to Arizona voters on immigration, inflation, and runaway spending. In one of the most important races in the country, Olson explains exactly why Sen. Mark Kelly has been hiding in plain sight, allowing Sinema to take the heat for him in hopes that he can remain uncontroversial and unscathed in his attempt to retake the office.

I've said for quite a while that one of the heroes of our country that gets almost no credit and you deserve credit but he almost demands no credit I should say is Clarence Thomas.

1:52.0

Clarence Thomas is one of the most extraordinary people alive he is a fighter for liberty and for the Constitution and we have with us the producers and the people behind the great film that everyone should see created equal and the soon to be released book that I think everyone should check out and that is Michael pack and Mark Poletta welcome Mark and Michael to the Charlie Kirk show.

2:19.0

Thank you for having us on thank you Charlie so Michael tell us first about the movie or actually first tell us about the book that then inspired the movie and tell us what you have learned from the exceptional Clarence Thomas.

2:31.0

Well so the way the movie came about it's been about two years since it was released it is that a bunch of people who were friends of justice Thomas is a new me were concerned about how people hated him in the left we're telling a story.

2:48.0

So I had not know that much about Clarence Thomas the time but after meeting him you quickly realize what you said in your intro trolley that he's a great American with a great story and I really wanted to tell it so after working on the film for while I came to the conclusion he should tell the story himself in his own words that he and Jenny should be the only interviews and I interviewed them for over 30 hours over multiple months you know more a longer interview more access than any spring court justice is going to be a great story.

3:17.0

And I think the spring court justice has ever given anyone in the history of the Supreme Court.

3:22.0

3:44.0

I don't pay a lot of my co author you know quickly we felt that there was a lot of good stuff that wasn't there I always tell the story that as we cut the film down from 30 hours the first cut was nine hours and Mark thought that was the perfect length.

4:00.0

So he has spent his that time since the movie lobbying for something else and we came up with the idea that we do a book based on some of the material that isn't in the film and as you said Charlie the book is 95% new material.

4:15.0

And again it lets you hear Clarence Thomas tell his story you know there they're more let most of it except for a few of my questions and Mark's footnotes they're really clarence Thomas to talking and telling you about his life and ideas.
