Blaine Pardoe - Author Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, speak to the devil. Looks like the Left is
on the side of cancel culture. Right now. Five to
fifty three is our time here in Houston's Morning Newston.
I think our next guest maybe thinks they've got to
come in, but I'll ask him. Blaine Pardo wrote an
article about this for American Thinker. Do you think it
feels like they're coming for the left? Do you think
they deserve it? Blaine?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, I do. I went through cancelation myself. I wrote
for science fiction series for thirty six years and got
canceled by a crazy nut job who was a forty
year old guy who was pretending to be a lesbian
online led the effort, And honestly, I think this is
the only way the left is going to learn that

(00:41):
this is a bad thing is to actually subject them
to it. And we've seen it now time and time again.
They don't like it when it's turned against them, but
they have literally put thousands of creators and celebrities out
of work for the last ten years, and it doesn't

(01:02):
seem to feaze them at all until you turn it
against them. So yes, I do believe the time has come.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Do you think that Jimmy Kimmel's maybe a sign of
where we're headed with all this. Well that in Cracker Barrel.
It's interesting, you know, Cracker Barrel tried to change all
that stuff. The conservative right let them know they didn't
like it. They backed down from it. I think their
sales are still way down as a result of that,
so they're not being easily forgiven for what they did.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I think what's happened for the first time in a
long time is with President Trump being in office, a
lot of conservatives are actually standing up and fighting back.
And if that means some of the left have to
be canceled in the process, well so be it. Because
I had to do some soul searching on this myself.

(01:48):
And you know, going through cancelations hard because it never
fully goes away. There isn't a week it goes by
somebody hasn't called me a fascist or a Nazi or
some sort of fobe. But in the end, it's the
only way they're going to understand this. It's almost like
mutually assured destruction, you know that. Look, you know you

(02:08):
don't do this because we can do it back to you.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, it'll be interesting to see if that if that
works because we're not really seeing, at least so far,
blame part over. We're not really seeing the left back
down on this. Certainly Jimmy Kimmel's not backing down from
his cancelation, and in his case, I think ABC Disney
was just looking for an excuse. Their stock has been
on the tank ever since they went woke. They've got
affiliates who are in a revolt over what Jimmy Kimmel

(02:35):
had said about Charlie Kirk and if you take a
look at his ratings over the last ten years, they've
gone steadily down.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
I agree, I don't think this. I think this was
an excuse to take Jimmy out, and if that's what
it takes, then so be it. But he did cross
the line, and they have all crossed the line. If
you watch the view on any given day, they're crossing
the line multiple times times, and there needs to be
some repercussions for them if they don't understand that. You know,

(03:06):
it's going to take a while for them to fully
comprehend what the culture is. But there's been a seismic shift,
and it started in Washington, d C. With Trump, who's
literally fighting back for the first time I've seen in
my lifetime for a conservative to do against the Democrat.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah. No, you're right. Conservatives have always been very bad
about fighting back. We're finally getting a little better at it. Blaine,
thank you, appreciate your time this morning. Thanks for getting
up early. That's all there, Blaine Pardo. He wrote a
piece about this an American Thinker
