CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “You said that it’s up to Congress if the president’s face is on a $250 bill. But it is actually — The Washington Post that’s reporting two political appointees from the Treasury Department who have asked agencies to be ready to — to do that. Do you think politically, it’s a good idea to put his face on a $250 bill when people are struggling to afford gas and groceries?” Treasury Secretary Bessent: “You know, I don’t really understand this Washington Post article that — who here’s from The Post? Yeah. Terribly written, terribly edited. Because basically what it says is that Treasury is following the law and that we created the bill and that it’s up to Congress, but that — we follow the bill and it’s up to — I didn’t really understand what the story was.” Bessent: “So — anyway —” Collins: “So, these two political appointees aren’t involved in that? Two of your political appointees?” Bessent: “Yeah, of course, but we — we prepare for everything. If it gets passed, just like we — we were ready six months in advance of the one big, beautiful bill for tax guidance that. So, we have to prepare in advance. You can’t draw something up the day before.” Collins: “But, politically, do you think it’s a good idea, though, when people are struggling to afford gas and groceries?” Bessent: “Look, I think it has — I think that it’s bifurcated. That — do you think we should have a 250th anniversary — the celebration?” Collins: “Well, that’s happening anyway, but putting the President’s face on a $250 bill —” Bessent: “No, no, no, no, no, no, no.” Collins: “— is a choice.” Bessent: “But Kaitlin, it’s not happening anyway. It’s happening because it’s being funded by private citizens, by the federal government, by state governments, by municipal governments to celebrate our country, and I don’t think that there’s anything untoward about having the President of the United States — the person who was President of United States on the 250th anniversary bill.”

On Friday, Bill Maher asked me if what happened with Biden at the disastrous debate with Trump was the same story as the Emperor's New Clothes. Me: The story of the Emperor's New Clothes is a story about common knowledge, because when the kid blurted it out, he actually wasn't telling anyone anything they didn't already know. They could see the Emperor was naked. But he still changed their knowledge, because by blurting it out with an earshot of the others, now everyone knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew. And what that allowed them to do is change their relationship with the Emperor, from obsequious deference to ridicule and scorn. And the thing about common knowledge in the social realm is that it's what props up our social relationships. And so when something is blurted out, then it can change everything. It changes the nature of your relationship with someone. Maher: And we do have sort of a modern version of the Emperor parable, which is Joe Biden. I mean, he was the Emperor who everyone wouldn't say had lost his marbles. I mean, is that not really the same story? Me: It is the same story, because opinion polls showed that after that disastrous debate with Trump, the number of people who thought that he was cognitively impaired didn't go up by that much. It went up by a few percentage points. But before, a majority of people thought that he was cognitively impaired. The difference is, when it's on TV, where you're watching it, you know that the rest of the country is watching it, you know the rest of the country knows the rest of the country, it's no longer private. It's common. And that's when he was challenged. That was the end. Bill Maher Real Time with Bill Maher
