One famed filmmaker and playwright spoke to Fox News about his transformation from a “brain-dead liberal” to his journey into constitutional conservatism.

Film director and playwright David Mamet, known for writing the stage play “Glengarry Glen Ross” and its film adaptation, opened up about his political values during a Thursday interview on the “Brian Kilmeade Show.”

Mamet discussed how he got “kicked out of the left” about 25 years ago and what led him to discover his right-leaning values. He noted his past comments referring to himself as a “brain-dead liberal” and urging for political civility in an article he wrote, resulting in many of his leftist peers losing contact with him.

“I didn’t know any Republicans, so I didn’t understand what conservatism was,” he said. “Then I got kicked out of the left, and I started researching what the constitutional conservatism was about, and I got very, very interested and very excited about it — here I am now.”

Mamet noted that he became disillusioned with the Democratic Party and its values, explaining how he thought that the party did not best represent American workers and had become the “party of the elites.” 

“I discovered my conservative beliefs because I discovered everything I thought and believed about the Democratic Party was false,” he said. 

Amid a tumultuous period in American politics, Mamet expressed optimism about the future following President Donald Trump’s election victory in November 2024. 

“America is self-correcting again, as we saw in the election,” Mamet said.  “And the red states are thriving.” 

Referring to his vast theater experience, Mamet also touched upon the media and entertainment’s focus on “social consciousness.”

“Black people are people too, gay people are people too, but the problem with that is, everybody knows that,” he said. “So we don’t want to come to a theater or a movie to get lectured to, right? Our wives will do that — so in order to keep their place, the idea of a meritocracy crumbled in the media, so the awards and safety, or the illusion… was awarded to those who could scream the loudest.” 

Mamet released his book “The Disenlightenment: Politics, Horror, and Entertainment” on June 3, which details his musings about politics and culture.
