President Barack Obama is scheduled to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday afternoon aboard Air Force One, then headline two Democratic National Committee fundraisers.
Obama’s first stop will be the Pacific Palisades home of television producer Chuck Lorre for a $16,700-per-person event benefiting the DNC’s 2016 White House Victory Fund, the entertainment trade publication Variety reported Board Roles Could Complicate Presidency for Jeb Bush
The invitation describes the event as an “intimate, living room style event” with only 30 people, but a chance to have “an open dialogue and discussion with the president,” according to Variety. The event will be closed to reporters.
Obama will then head to the Beverly Hills home of filmmaker Tyler Perry for the second fundraiser.
Tickets are priced from $2,500 to attend a reception to $33,400, the maximum allowable donation to a national party committee, which includes admission to a reception, where Obama will speak, and dinner and a photo with the president. Tickets for the dinner are priced at $20,000 per couple. The price to attend the reception and have a photo taken with Obama is $10,000, according to an invitation obtained by City News Service.
The comic Marc Maron announced on his Thursday podcast that he will interview Obama in the garage of his Highland Park home for his podcast, “WTF with Marc Maron.” The interview is scheduled for Friday, Maron said.
“What am I doing in terms of planning? That’s a good question,” Maron said on the podcast. “I’m thinking about it. I’m spinning. I haven’t done political talk radio in years, no desire to.
“He’s an incredibly brilliant and interesting man with a life that I’m going to talk to him about.”
