https://youtu.be/PhEk0Mg_79Q

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.

First, David discusses his background and how influential Jewish studies was to him in becoming a playwright. He also warns of the dangers of the shrinking middle class in America and how the rich and poor both seek power in different ways.

Next, David explains the pros and cons of living in LA and why he is still choosing to live there. He explains the life cycle of cities and how they get repurposed. He also gives an insider look into how the creative economy in Los Angeles is quickly dying and how the cost of living in LA keeps artists out of the city.

David also explains current negative movie industry trends and why film industry careers are so fragile currently. He explains why he thinks the film industry is dying and what will happen to Hollywood when movies no longer dominate Los Angeles.

Next, 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.

Finally, David discusses the dangers of obedience and conformity in our culture. He also warns to not expect anything from corrupt leaders and foolish politicians. He has especially harsh words for politicians and thinks that the few good ones all meet the same end. He stresses the importance of freedom in thought and using art to seek truth.
