Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor, is still fired up about Joe Biden and his team after the presidential debate. Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Emanuel criticized Biden's advisors for not being transparent about his health and reneging on his promise to step down after one term. He questioned Biden's fitness to lead and compared him and Trump's abilities to drive at night. Emanuel expressed his frustration with the Democratic Party's lack of options and the possibility of losing support due to concerns about Biden's viability. Despite the panic among Hollywood Democrats, some like Celinda Lake and Katie Porter urge patience and highlight Biden's achievements. Emanuel also took a swipe at Open AI CEO Sam Altman, calling him a conman and questioning his trustworthiness. Despite his past intensity, Emanuel claims to have mellowed over the years.
