it fell to jeffrey katzenberg to tell them they were wrong.goes through how this movie mogul has helped raise money and convince people he is our guy, but i just don't know that hollywood is the secret weapon in 2024. >> emily: it makes sense that a storyteller, a producer, a movie maker, is creating and producing the sham that is the democrat party's campaign, because it's all based on the gaslighting that you articulated. the thing i've come to appreciate and be horrified by, unfortunately, is that you are right -- the influence of this aging generation of hollywood stars really has no influence, certainly on gen z, and on very few rational and like-minded adults that think for themselves other than, "let me try the face cream they are pedaling on instagram." it's about patting the war coffers. it would do us really well to continue to appreciating that this is the highest record-breaking campaign cycle from california for both par parties. buy a ton. it's been called the political atm of california, the hollywood elite. what matters next is

caroline: we wonder who are the players left in the game we had jeffrey katzenberg on the show earlierim about the value of paramount and he was like it seemed like a good deal and then you talk to some people gathering in the room for breakfast. >> i went to an early breakfast and went to bob iger and brian robbins. all of them in the room at one time. the current parent -- president of paramount, bob iger who's watching it all. it was quite a morning. caroline: what do you think they were talking about or what do you think will be deals that could be made for individual bits of streaming and other parts? lucas: they will try to execute a strategy the owner would've done anyways. it will cut costs and look for partnerships, but it's not clear whether the three guys in charge right now will be there for that long. it seems like sherry redstone is still interested in selling her family holding company doing a simpler deal. that's not necessarily great news for the other shareholders at paramount but would be good for her and her family. if she re-engages with one of these other bidders,

we sit down with the dreamworks founder jeffrey katzenberg as his venture

still stuck in the '90s, where george clooney and julia roberts, that kind of endorsement, jeffrey katzenbergck then, but it's not cool anymore. and if you look what joe biden tried to do, the only thing he tried was howard. and the rest is cnn, nbc, and so he is really just kind of stuck in an old-school media landscape and hasn't been able to break through. and not to mention the fact that his policies are just terrible. if you are young, you just don't have the upward mobility that you used to have in this country, and that is really what it's all about beards before so greg, the leftist media has tried to erase this from trump's record but he has been a master of the culture since he has been on the scene. this is just an extension of that, in the new age of different kinds of media appeared media. >> greg: you know, i still maintain it is not about youth, it is not about race. it's about gender. what you are seeing is a shift in men realizing that the democrat party is not a party for men because the so-called phony empathy that they are pushing has led to an increase in crime, a dissolu

there are a number of people who will be there from behind the camera in hollywood specifically jeffrey katzenbergrmer head of dreamworks and one of the chief individuals in the presidential re-election campaign. he has been very close to president obama and president biden. he's putting a lot of stock in getting these bombs in seats, as they say. and in the peacock theater, which fits over 7000 people, those seats are full. a couple days ago it looked like there were a few left but they are now sold out this will be a jam-packed house in the center of downtown los angeles. >> heard you are going. what are you wearing? i'm kidding. but you are going? >> i will probably wear this jacket. yes. >> you look great let's talk about the new movie, the apprentice drama depiction of donald trump's early years as a new york real estate mogul and it's getting good reviews come up but it does not always portray donald trump in a flattering light and the trump campaign threatened to sue the filmmakers. any updates on where the apprentice stands today and potential legal action? >> well, as is so often with don

now the president is accompanied today the reporters traveling with him said that they saw jeffrey katzenberg, his campaign co-chair, who is also a long longtime a hollywood producer with a lot of networking in contacts within that hollywood circuit who has helped to biden, raise money for other events, including that la fundraiser with obama, just a few weeks ago. but the biden campaign today is also touting the fact that they raised 27 million over the over the past two days, i was on thursday and friday a bright spot that they're trying to point to after the president's performance in the debate. but cnn has spoken with donors who are quiet anxious about the president's performance and what it could mean for the future, not just of the ticket, but also the democratic party is there staring down the competition against trump in november. now, today we're also learning that the democratic national committee will be holding a meeting with its members. this afternoon, the dnc chair jamie harrison is expected to talk to the members. i'm told to provide updates, not just on the dnc and voter mob
