Hollywood Insider Exposes How Diversity Is Backfiring (Pt.2) | David Mamet | POLITICS | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Pulitzer Prize winning, Hollywood writer and director David Mamet about the consequences of the shrinking middle class, why the film industry is dying, why the Oscars are dead, and why corrupt politicians are the norm. In this clip David shares why LA is already dead and not coming back. He explains how woke Hollywood ruined filmmaking to the point that no one watches the Oscars anymore. The forced diversity now seen in films is turning off an entire generation of film goers as identity politics seeps into every aspect of our culture.

Blazing saddles would never be released today!

[paulbentley]

What sucks is that I always looked forward to going to the theater. Those days are over.

[buffaloshite]

David Mamet is a legit wise man who says it like it is; this is a rare quality that only an O.G. Story teller could maintain.

[benniebarrow]

I remember watching the Oscars from 30-40 years ago, except for a couple of occasions where drunk actors would be a momentary fool, the air of professionalism and love of the country always seemed front and center . Today it’s not worth watching for the lectures and outright hate for America.

[kevinperry]

Hollywood is dead. Gone is the glamor, class, elegance and kept they're political thoughts to themselves. When they started calling the Kardashians celebrities was the last nail in the coffin for me in Hollywood.

[thomasrobinson]

I don't watch any more. The Oscars have historically had a disconnect from what moviegoers watch and it has gotten worse over time. The woke movement is toxic icing on a very rotten cake.

[socialmediaisterrible]

Its almost like, when you sacrifice good writing for the sake of inclusion and forcing an agenda onto people, they stop engaging.... Huh who knew? 🤷‍♀️

[dmdixon]

When diversify overshadows merit then merit has no meaning!

[timippolito]

I'll take Jack Tripper and Al Bundy over today's entire Hollywood Schmucks..

[motivason]

I grew up in the theater district. And most of everyone from the hood either work in the theaters or became actors actress. But more importantly he spoke truth about NY

[kristencraft]

For sure!, Cape Cod has completely changed from when I grew up there in Brewster in the '70's and '80's, and not for the good.

[cheesygal]

Got so tired of the preaching and propaganda masquerading as entertainment and news. We stopped going to movie theatres maybe 10 years ago. Stopped watching tv even before that. We moved to the country and never bothered to get cable or WiFi. We just hotspot our computers.

[radioflyer]

Almost all the once great movie genre franchises are ruined by woke. I don't bother with Hollywood products anymore.

[jackofhearts]

Love Mamet! Recently rewatched Spartan.

[fredwinslow]

He is so wise. Street wise liberal minded and hard earned conservative wisdom.

[captainsergeant]

So many "ah ha" moments during this conversation. I'll pose a question that comes to mind after a conversation my wife and I had about this very topic - which came first: the consumer's demand for distilled garbage that passes for entertainment or the studios only putting out distilled garbage that passes for entertainment?

[christinecabana]

That's so twisted...you can't improve on a street name that stands the test of time! Canada here, as bad as it is living here fighting Communist Dictators, its mind blowing what there doing to America...which is loved by many Canadians.

[Zebred]

Our society is so unarguably screwed up I can't help but thinking this world is deservedly staggering to its last wheezing collapse! What will succeed it? Hint - It ain't gonna be no liberal utopia!

Beautiful observation about NYC in its heyday. Black America, gay America, Jewish America. That was the NYC I found when I went to university there in 1960. I remember the night Malcom X was shot and was not afraid to walk down Broadway into Harlem, I knew many gay artists including Joe Brainard, and Andy Warhol, both of whom taught me to see. And I was surrounded by Jewish classmates all, like me born in in 1942 who's families had all been profoundly affected by the Holocaust. NYC was nothing if not real. But what blew my mind was putting “The Great White Way” on the Broadway street sign for a very personal reason. My great great grandfather, OJ Gude, is credited with coining that term, but more to the point he was a poor son of a German immigrant kid from Harlem (123rd street) who combined the card reading technology used in the 1890 census (which developed into IBM eventually) and Edison’s light bulbs into the electric billboards in Times Square. There was plenty of growth then, now in decline they eulogising a long dead citizen to market themselves -cause as weNew Yorkers say “They got nutten.'”
