Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and director David Mamet has, in his own words, gone from a Hollywood veteran to “the hermit of Santa Monica”. Celebrated for his plays American Buffalo, Glengarry Glen Ross, and Speed-the-Plow, Mamet has dedicated his formidable energy to the culture war raging in La La Land.
To mark the publication of his memoir, Everywhere an Oink Oink, Flo Read spoke to Mamet about the death of storytelling, antisemitism in America and his zeal for Donald Trump.

#UnHerd #DavidMamet #Trump
Wow. I am an actress/writer/director who was trained in the 90s on Mamet’s scripts. I am also a Christian, who has worked in mainstream culture, most of my life. Refreshing interview, to say the least.
David just went scorched-earth on Hollywood and the Left. And I can't think of a single thing he said I'd disagree with.
God?
I can, all of it.
He is either a liar or has denentia.
What percentage of black me are in prison compared to the white? That is systemic racism.
Gaza never had enough water form day one.
This is what Ian Bremer is saying it not an Arab or Palatinian.
I have been to Israel and have seen their Jewish fundementalists who are worse than Hamas. They spit Christian clergy in the face.
There are plenty of Jews who hate those religious natinalist is Israel.
These are mostly poor ulta religious Jews who came from eastern Europe ghettoes and stayed in Israel. The ones who could leave left.
They assasinated their own prime minister.
I bet he doesn't know any black person.
No teacher tells a kid that you are of wrong sex
As for his support for Trump he seems to have forgotten Charlotte ville or his meeting with Kanya West.
Let me tell you why Netanyahu got on with Trump: Because both of them want the Jews to immigrate to Israel.
After all these years Israeli population still hasn't caught up with Palastinians.
Netanyahu was begging the French Jews to immigrate to Israel. This is why he promotes antisemetism out side Israel. This is why he got on with Trump .
Open your eyes.
Unfortunately they hide my comments here. So much for free speech.
Otherwise I would explain why you shouldn't agree with any of it
Except, maybe, lying about how underprivileged Jews are... Especially at the ivy league universities... 😂
Someone on the Left won't last long in Hollywood, Film Industry is a deeply Capitalist industry!!
David makes more sense than 99% of Hollywood.
Competing cults
His book 3 uses of a knife says that art shouldn't be hijacked by political messages (paraphrasing). Ever since I read that book I've had a lot of respect for his opinion
@@danielasanchez4674 But his art is as well.
@@l.w.paradis2108 his book is more articulate about, it's my bad for not explaining well. He said it shouldn't compromise the piece of art, you can still have it but you have to prioritize it as art
@@danielasanchez4674 Everyone with a shred of sense (and artistic sensibility) agrees with that. Marguerite Duras and her Communist Party buddies agreed with that.
Flo Reid is fantastic. Empathic and with self confidence and humour!
Only thing trump will win is a jail cell and what numbers on his back
Really? Did you listen to the same interview?
I had a visceral revulsion at her mannerisms: facial tics, asking questions with closed eyes, and inflecting her voice to a note of murderous contempt.
"I've always been afraid of being a coward!!" That's got to be the greatest line I have ever heard!! Wow, what guy, I had no idea. Old Red there is pretty nice too. Thanks!
Fantastic conversation. Sadly, Jewish intellectuals are very late to the fight for freedom and against leftist insanity (it’s still a mixed bag) but we desperately need their wisdom and voice. I’m delighted that David Mamet has chosen to speak out.
I Agree with you
Mamet has been speaking out for years, as have some other key Jewish players such as the Weinstein brothers (Eric and Bret) and Hitchens brothers. People just not been listening
@@soleknight3212 Eric Weinstein only started speaking in the last couple of months and his embrace of the MAGA movement is dubious at best. Christopher Hitchens was a bonafide neocon (who hated all religions) and was friends with the likes of Paul Wolfowitz. As a neocon, he had nothing to say in opposition to the Patriot Act. Hardly a defender of freedom.
However, there are better examples such as Viva Frei, Ezra Levine, Chaya Raichik and Mark Levin.
@@ps5801 He was talking about the Jews AGAINST the insanity, not for it. And there have been many including the names I posted as well as in recent times with the likes of Rebel News and the reaction of Israel itself, for good or worse, to the histrionics of the hideous media, especially BBC and CNN.
@@ps5801 It’s true that there are some very solid voices in the Jewish community including people like Prager, Medved and Greenwald.
However, EVERYBODY knows, but no one will say out loud, who’s behind all of the elections fuckery, media manipulation, and Deep State machinations. By simply stating what is plainly obvious to EVERYBODY, one will immediately be labeled as anti-Semitic.
Finally, it may come as a shock but I’m actually a Judeophile and I have a deep respect for Jewish culture, heritage and faith. My political opposition to a broad swath of this group is just that…political. What’s galling it that whites and Christians and men can be attacked by your group for purely demagogic or bigoted purposes and can do so with complete impunity.
What a great interview. What a man. The comment Mr. Mamet made about not ever wanting to be a coward caught me up. I’ve never heard anyone say that stated as a reason for doing the important thing. It was touching. It was inspiring. I want my students to hear it.
The problem with Hollywood, and performers of all sorts in general, is they spend their entire lives trying to please and gain the favor of others.
Of the bosses.
I am more inclined to believe they spend their lives trying to make more money.
What you say is not untrue but it describes a process of corruption as honesty is the currency of the arts; whether we are talking stand up comedy or a novel, honesty is the litmus of distinction between art and propaganda.
"All art is somewhere between pornography and propaganda-without being wholly one or the other." ~David Hickey
Whereas a total sociopath is more appropriate for the US you think?
@@kkkevannot only money but also for sex
Congratulations on getting David Mamet on your show. I've seen Glengarry Glen Ross about 20 times but knew nothing about the man behind that screenplay. It's a breath of fresh air to know there are reasonable and courageous voices in Hollywood. And it's encouraging to see the growth of independent cinema.
I too have seen Glen Garry Glen Ross that many times. I wish it wasn’t true. Mamet is a genius. I don’t agree with everything he says but he it is worth listening to everything he says.
Coffee's for closers only.
@@jps0117 That movie is my all time favourite. Great to finally see what David Mamet is like. I admire him all the more knowing he backs Trump.
20 times? Put that coffee down! 😅
Man it is so wild hearing such public praise of Trump in circles where previously you had to go through a sort of apology before saying something nice about him.
I think the pennies have fallen from many eyes with the past three years of governance disaster.
Hollywood cancelled him because he does not follow their woke narrative.. They also cancelled Michael Crichton because he exposed the Global Warming hoax in his book, "State of Fear."
I still can't understand why anyone but Trump can say all the nasty things they want about others, far worse that Trump ever has, but somehow when Trump says anything that anyone disagrees with, he is manipulated to stand out like a sore thumb, as if everyone but him walks softly and speaks only the kindest words about any other person. I mean hasn't the media done nothing but throw mud in his & his supporters faces?
The anti-Trumpers have twisted reality to it's limits to demonize anyone who doesn't hate Trump, but Trump is the "mean" one?
Damn this world is so grossly inside out and gas-lit to the max.
I don't think there could even be a more hypocritical time in history than right now. Trump has brought out the screaming demons hiding in people, and man do they unleash in their agony and bitterness. Democrats and anti-Trumpers are the all-time "dish it out a plenty but can't take the smallest part of what they dish out" crowd. In 60 plus years I've never seen anything close to the current hatred for Trump, and complete lack of self-awareness in those who oppose him.
And I've even seen how many "conservative" pundits have a habit of holding their noses every time they mention Trump. They're almost worse than the Left in their smug self-righteousness, and I've learned to hate every stinking one of them for revealing their own inner cry baby. Trump brings out the insecurity of all the people you thought had their sh_ together. Ironically Trump is the only one left that I have any respect for.
I hope you’re right!
Breath of FRESH AIR OF TRUTH FROM THE HEART WITH NO DAMN disclaimers and sophistry that plagues us today. Thanks David!
I can't express how great this guy is.
If only he wouldn't lie about the freedom of speech at ivy league universities.
@@michstockholm1164 What lie is that?
Trump is the worst person in this country.
@@michstockholm1164 They came up with "contextual genocide". You couldn't make it up. Mamet did not go far enough in his condemnation IMO.
Thank you for this interview with David Mamet. Everyone has periods in their life when they need to hear like minded thoughts so they can feel a part of the common. I'm here on the dusk of my wonderful life, missing my family members. David Mamet filled my mind, took me into his time in another place than mine. I will listen to this many times. As to President Trump I spent every day of his Presidency being amazed at all that he accomplished, hearing Mamet list it all was truly wonderful, so many days I would wonder how are people missing out on such ground breaking accomplishments. I greatly appreciate the gift of this interview and time spent. I will listen to it many times, share it, and most of all ponder it when sitting outside in the sunlight .
To borrow one of the great lines from, appropriately enough, the movies; "Hold on to your hat, it's gonna be a bumpy ride". Mamet really puts it into the most honest perspective; about how it's gonna get worse before it gets better, but his belief that we will get there is worth holding on to our hats and everything else. It amazes me how fresh genuine reason can sound coming from someone with his long years of experience doing battle with the establishment and, I think, himself. Thanks for bringing it to us.
David Mamet is a genius. I had the privilege of playing "Moss" in GlenGarry Glen Ross in my college days, and fell in love with his realistic, yet pithy dialogue
A great interview - Mamet is rare - an entertainment veteran who deals in honesty!
Pity he's so underprivileged as a Jew in USA 🇺🇸.
Oh yeah, like the total destruction and genocide in Gaza is about "Kill the Jews."
He is pro-family so the Democrats will consider him a "right wing extremist."
I love this. What Mamet is saying about Hollywood films is how I feel about the latest novels being pubilshed. Same critique. The movies stink and the novels stink.
which highly praised recent novels do you think are lesss than?
Yes, but written by a black lesbian!!
I've been saying for years "That Little Silicon Chip Is Changing Everything."
There is no point in reading new novels or watching new movies - preachy Woke box ticking is not entertaining.
@@VelkePivo written by a brave trans lesbian, don't you mean?
David is blessed with “Youthful rage and vigor.” May he keep writing and opining for many years to come.
I had to study him for my degree and pick out characters to please my lecturer from his work which wasn't easy.
Mamet drops so many truth bombs in a 43min interview it’s like watching one of his plays. Excellent work!
“Sound of Freedom” made a quarter of a billion, not a half a billion. Still not bad for a less than $14.5 million production budget!! Other than that, Mamet is pretty much spot on with everything he says here. 👍
Disney refused to distribute it and sold the rights. Meanwhile, everything they did distribute lost a fortune. They have destroyed themselves in less than 5 years.
What kind of government..
A Republic, if you can keep it." Benjamin Franklin
I had the sense of a man who is certain about what he knows. Very interesting conversation.
not unlike the man he thinks will win. Very self assured
Certain about what he thinks he knows.
@@johnbanach3875 Why is that a problem? Being certain does not mean an unwillingness to examine other points of view.
Are you kidding me? Being certain means exactly that!@@jimpollard113
sweet Jesus! every word out of Mamet's mouth was brilliant and prescient. let's hope his courage is contagious in Hollywood.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS INTERVIEW
What a man! I am 100% with him. He didn't say I word which I could take issue with on any level. Great interview!
Me too. Ain't he on point. If you've never read his essays please do. They're a real treat.
Bravo Mr. Mammet, what a bright and honest man.pleasure to listen You
Who's 'Mr. Mammet' ?
He's only 'controversial' to far left fools.
Far left fool is redundant.
Seeing the bombing of Gaza, which has caused untold harm, as an horrendous crime, that is sufficient to categorize one as 'far left'?
There are some things I agree with Mr. Mamet on, one is distaste for those who are quick to make the accusation of 'Oh, it's far right'.
At an intelligent level, it no longer has meaning. The reality is it's simply a stick that is used by the disingenuous to beat people with.
And most "conservatives" have become far Left fools without realizing it because they weren't paying attention and just went along with activist media narratives.
He's just an old guy
The discussion about President Trump starts at 28:00 .
thanx. I critized in a comment that there was no time stamp for the clickbait title
Thanks
I enjoyed the part in the beginning because I like Mamet but I didn’t want others to miss his thoughts on President Trump.
@@tsveno72he’s either lying or just flat out wrong when he said Trump made us an exporter of energy.
We had massive oil exports under Obama. Look it up before you comment.
@@zenlandzipline ok. Will do. Never be afraid to learn. Thanks.
Mamet is a terrific playwright and 100% right about our current civil, cultural, political and religious turmoils. "Who gets to say what is hate speech?" A very old question, going back to Juvenal - "quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" And never more acutely asked than now.
didn’t he say the opposite of this? 23:02
@@ClownCarCoup I believe his point was that IF people are going to acknowledge such a thing as "hate speech", then surely calling for any group's genocide should qualify. He wasn't approving of the idea of hate speech; he was pointing out hypocrisy in its application.
@@rhshrimpton perhaps he shouldn’t equate the chant “river to sea” as hate speech, which he clearly does here. If that was his point he could make it w/o lying that anyone was chanting “death to jews”. no one was chanting that on campus .
@@ClownCarCoup There is plenty of video footage to the contrary.
@@rhshrimpton not at the ivy league schools he was referring to here. The problem is, like many Zionists, he equates that phrase to mean eliminate Jews when it was used to mean eliminate the Jewish state . anti Zionism is not anti Semitism, which is what he is saying.
If he was really saying “who gets to say want hate speech is?”, like the OP contends here, then Mamet would _not_ have a problem with this phrase being used or the Ivy presidents refusing to condemn this free speech on their campuses. Clearly he has a problem with this speech
Mamet is a genius, and his survey of our postmodern cultural scene is spot-on. Thank you.
He is as crazy as Trump.
@@richg2881Just like everyone else who doesn't support your views.
Nice. Spot on.@@joce11
@@richg2881 A truly low-quality comment.
I grew out of movies decades ago.
I just watch movies from decades ago 😂
David Mamet’s book “The Secret Knowledge” is a worthy read.
Absolutely! It should be read by anyone who thinks communism is good, and everyone who isn't sure that America has a communism problem.
I read it years ago..surprising for me.
How can I focus with this beautiful host;-)
Wow i am so happy that i listen to you Sir. Thank you from Québec Canada ❤
He's a genius in so many ways
Wow. I love Mamet movies. I didn’t know I love Mamet politics. I do!
Mamet’s appreciation of Patrick O’Brian on his passing years back was illuminating. It led me to read the whole Aubrey-Maturin series, which changed my life. Thank you for that, for your stories, for your political and cultural commentary, for your anger, and for your honesty.
It's so refreshing to hear someone just speak a lot of common sense like this and without a single f- given as to political correctness.
The Mainstream Media seriously needs to be addressed and overhauled for the damage to society its causing across the western world. Thank you Mr Mamet (love your book True and False btw), and thank you Unherd.

I love it how he makes himself look like a total fool by believing in the Trump-cult propaganda. Sad.
'..lays _waste_ to..'
Mamet writes wonderful plays and screen plays. Fascinating interview with a genius.
You know a David Mamet script the minute the dialogue kicks in. It dances to its own rhythm 🙏🇺🇸 ditto everything he says 👏👏
Also I’ve noticed a repetition of sentences and phrases in the dialog. “The Verdict” is a all time favorite
It’s nice to hear common sense and the truth, for a change.
This deserves a million views.
Fantastic interview of one of America's greatest playwrights . He tells the truth during this conversation and I love it .
Brilliant. Best conversation I've heard in far too long.
great interview, with someone who just happens to be a bloody wonderful writer too.
I'm a big fan of Mamet's work. He makes some points here that mustn't be ignored regardless of how you might feel about it.
So wonderful to hear such sense. And lets hope Trump wins.

One of the great pleasures left us is the rich history the Hollywood of the 30s, 40s and even 50s has left us to escape into.
99% of modern Hollywood is literally effluent.
Great interview. You don't need the click bait title because the content stands on its own.
Nice work presenting this interview. I throughly enjoyed it. Thank you.
This was a brilliant interview/talk. Thank you very much. Much appreciated.
He seems to have the Hollywood vice of thinking that because you are in the movies you know something about anything else
Spot on. I'm often totally shocked how naive such a supposedly intelligent person can be - but then, there were a lot of cases like that in Germany in the 30's, and in most powerful countries people often believe the utter bs of those in power.
Great interview. A little hope in these bleak times. People are getting it. Hopefully not too little too late. Nice to see different perspectives in these dogmatic times. Great job.
What I love most about the world is to see different cultures and how they have evolved over the centuries. It makes this planet magical. How different societies find new ways to solve their own problems and live their lives. I love the diversity of this world. But how do cultures become unique? Through periods of isolation, because we naturally stick together and form smaller groups. And although migration always occurred and wars always merged two cultures, those periods of isolation were longer. Globalism is the opposite of diversity. It is dilution of a culture by centralized power who claims to know the right way of living their lives. So, for those who support diversity and inclusion, if you also support globalism and the WEF, you are actually killing diversity over time. Those two don’t go together. I do not support a path to a one world civilization, poor of culture, replaced values, weak and mediocre. A lot of us questioned the importance of tradition and classical education. Now I see why. The world without them becomes so weak and vulnerable. Yes to free enterprise and no monopoly, where trade becomes the true diplomacy and the reason why we dont kill one another despite our differences. We are dealing with a global mafia now…
Great comment!
What a treat this was to watch. Thank you!
God Bless David Mamet, Courage, and all who stand up for Truth. Virtue- real virtue- needs not only his voice, but all who align with him. As a former knee-jerk Democrat voter from the fallen state of California, I say we continue as consumers of entertainment to use our discernment, and power of the purse to accelerate the demise of Hollywood. Eventually- or perhaps, quickly- that odious Gomorrah will be replaced. Smiley face emoji
With David Mamet's arguments, rational and down to earth statements.
Good grief, you guys didn't watch that movie to think that about Sound of Freedom. The film was no different from any other film in Hollywood. The acting was good. The production was good. NOT GREAT, just good. There was no religion in this movie, less than most Hollywood movies. So there's was really no reason at all for her to call it a right wing movie. Rescuing kids from kidnappers is not "right wing", and it was based off of a real story.
She didn't call it a right wing movie, she said that the insane left calls it so in order to discount its value
I think Mamet is pointing to the movie's non-Hollywood funding and production as well as the intended audience.
@@dongkhamet1351 ALL Hollywood funding is suspect! A bunch of it is CIA money! and with the amount of Jewish money in the industry, there should be no qualms about other money in this industry.
But she obviously did not watch the film at all. I'm a full on leftist, and I enjoyed it just fine.
People need to stop talking shit.
I really do generally like her, but here she failed.
Not disagreeing, but I think she was deliberately repeating what the mainstream said - though it seems she has not seen the movie. The bit they skated over was how a movie about sex trafficking of children could be - and was - framed as right wing by liberal media/ critics.
It was only slightly true
I'm (happily!) STUNNED. I did not know that a "Jew" like this existed in ... Hollyweird. Yes I am Jewish and SUPER-MAGA! ... Listening to Mr. Mamet has been INSPIRING! (now if i could only get my two Jewish sisters to understand that is this NOT the democrat party of JFK and LBK ... anymore!)
Interesting conversation. Older guys like Mamet have the advantage of historical perspective on the moment. It's a shame Hollywood has become so illiberal.
I really respect this gentleman for his courage and candor!
Who else here to see if he talks in Mamet-speak? 😆
Hate is a human emotion, felt by the human, just like love or any other. To express an emotion felt cannot be a crime. To act on a feeling resulting in true physical harm, is already a crime. Free speech, all speech, and from that we see the thoughts and potential intentions of other humans. Whether they act on them is an entirely different thing
Well said.
"Hate crimes" were invented by the ruling class to deter those motives for crime that particularly offend either the sensibilities or the security of the ruling class. The Soviets and Nazis also had "hate crimes." Free nations do not have such a classification. In America they were first imposed in the 1960s, the decade when America as a free nation ended.
Thank you David Mamet!!! Oh how I hope you correct in your predictions! Bless you.
What a breath of fresh air.
We need more outspoken truth tellers like him. Thanks UnHerd.
I had no idea Mamet was such a beast! I am surprised… 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Beast ... yeah, a grey haired chimpanzee looks like. ;-)
He's frightening
David Mamet is an American treasure. The "brainless whores" description of critics got me. I've always dismissed the opinions of critics.
David Mamet speaks from his mind and clarity from experience. He is allowed to err or be on point because he is honest. These are the thinkers we need now. Everyone else is not even trying at all. Shame on us for our lack of courage. Truth will win, and the battle begins in our minds & hearts. Thanks for posting this!!
It's refreshing to hear someone speak their mind without self-censoring.
This woman is extremely beautiful
Fascinating interview - thank you, Unherd! Mamet pulls no punches. Interesting to see the anti-Mamet trolls popping up in the comments.

Brilliant interview, enjoyed every bit of it...intelligent throughout! First time i heard of him, will look into his books. I love intelligent conversation...what a talent!
Absolute legend, amazing interview, reading David Mamet’s Three Uses of the Knife changed how I see the world, I give copies to people I care about so they can understand how narrative and stories shape the way we understand the world and communicate with each other.
Check out his book True and False if you haven’t already. Outstanding. Changed my life.

The interviewer’s questions were very mainstream and the she must have had a reality check as she did not confirm or deny anything. I am an actor, writer and director in Community Theatre who supports a family by teaching school kids day to day. Rarely do I hear or see theatre that grapples with our modern society in Australia 🇦🇺 or modern democracies. Most, if not all the mainstream practitioners and critics say how wonderful the shows are because they get kickbacks like Mamet says. Thanks for letting Mamet run his mouth in an unconventional manner.😮😊
Excellent interview. He has intelligent insights and she let him speak.
great back and forth between these two minds.
What back and forth? It could have simply and just as easily been presented as a monologue
and a great one I might add
28:01 till 30:05 would make a great Trump ad.
I agree with Mr. Mamet 💯%👍👍
I'd like to think the US is not that stupid.
We'd all _like to think _*_your_*_ not that stupid_ .
Gotta love a man who is his own man. More of this.
Is he though?
Great job interviewing one of my favorites. First-time watcher, but I will be looking for other content on unheard and in particular if you are the host. I'm Keen to raise my daughter to be intelligent, aware, and well spoken. You're a fine example, truly. From across the pond, cheers!
Great interview, on both sides. Well worth my 43 minutes.
Dog my cats. Dog my cats, indeed!
Prof Lichtman predicts Biden over Trump, so I really can't be bothered with Mamet's guesses and gut feelings about the upcoming election. Lichtman's been right for 40 years.
It wasnt just about predictions; he was giving reasons. Meanwhile, what did you contribute? Well, my guy says...
@@robertmadison1205 And yet it is presented as a prediction. I moved to Vermont in 2016 to support Bernie Sanders with my tax dollars as well as at the polls. So, that's what I did to contribute.

I love this famous Jewish humor that makes your mind wonder - especially when its performed in Gaza…
Why? Because he's Jewish? I like to think even non-jewish people have a sense of humour.
Do you care about any suffering you havent been told to by the MSM?
The ongoing genocide of African Christians, for example?
