Why Does Ari Emanuel Say Jeffrey Katzenberg Could Not Get Biden Out?
Megyn Kelly says she met Jeffrey Katzenberg in Hollywood in 2015 and 16. He told her he would personally make sure Hillary Clinton won and would donate whatever it took. She asks Ari Emanuel what he thinks. Ari Emanuel says he hopes that, in most of his career, he does not punch down. Early on, his partner David Greenblatt put a television package together at Endeavor and sold it to DreamWorks, and Jeffrey Katzenberg would not pay the package. Ari Emanuel calls the package a lifeblood when a firm is starting out.
Ari Emanuel is a Democrat, and his brother worked in the White House. He says their eyes were not lying about Biden, and he had called him Ruth Bader Biden a year beforehand. Jeffrey Katzenberg was raising money and offered to set a meeting if Ari Emanuel gave a million dollars. Ari Emanuel refused. He said he did not need Jeffrey Katzenberg to take the credit, because his brother had worked in the White House. He was also screaming about Karen Bass. Jeffrey Katzenberg kept saying he had the ear and could do everything. Nothing happened. He could not get him out, and he could not get him on the phone.
