New Money, Literally: Steve Mnuchin, Louise Linton Strike a Pose With Dollar Bills

Just a couple of Republicans doing their best to relate to everyday Americans … not.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and his new wife, Louise Linton, posed for pictures with sheets of $1 bills on Wednesday after Mnuchin’s signature was put on the dollar bill. The new notes are expected to start circulating in December.

Linton sparked criticism earlier this year after posting an image of herself getting off a military jet, adding hashtags referencing her designer wardrobe and deriding a commenter for having less money than she does.

On today’s show, Glenn mocked the decision to pose with new $1 bills as the best PR decision Republicans have made since President Donald Trump threw paper towels at hurricane victims in Puerto Rico.

GLENN: Republicans are now within striking distance of two big objectives. Tax reform. The G.O.P. of the individual mandate sometime later today. Margin of error is really small. Yesterday announced he's going to be the first Republican to break off and vote no. Will anyone follow his lead?

Now, the -- the hours leading up to the vote are really crucial. You can almost here the gears churning over at the White House communications department from all across the country. How can they improve the final? How can they be a little more relatable? And in the process, how can they improve their chances the answer was so obvious to them.

Deploy this Treasury Secretary. Steve ma nutrition and his smoking hot wife for a super hot selfie with a bunch of sheets of cash. Public just won't know what hit them. Right? It's going to be a PR coup the likes of which would make even Mugabe recoil in fear. So that's what they did.

He held up a giant sheet of crisp dollar bills, that were the first to bear his signature. And his wife standing next to him gave a smoldering gaze at the camera, dressed uncannily like Kylo Ren, she kind of looked ready to lightsaber frenzy. Hope hicks must have and enjoyed this masterful work of communications art. The tax reform and individual mandate vote were as good as one now.

The administration hasn't looked this slick since the president launched paper towel packages at gatherings of that was another good one.

The only thing that could have made this look better, maybe, is if ma nutrition hard based hitting pop song rocked the house. Anyway, it's a win-win. Let's give the communications department their props. You crushed it. Game, set, match.

Black Friday used to be a WARNING...

Before the door-buster deals and stampedes, “Black Friday” meant total financial panic (gold crashing, markets collapsing). Then in the 1950s, Philadelphia cops reused the term because the day-after-Thanksgiving chaos felt like the end of civilization. But the real twist? FDR moved Thanksgiving itself in 1939 just to give retailers an extra week of Christmas shopping — dividing the country until Congress finally caved in 1941. So, what started as a sacred day of survival and gratitude got permanently hijacked by Washington and big business.

The forgotten truth of Thanksgiving that can SAVE divided families

Every year, family members dread getting together for Thanksgiving due to a rise if political division. Glenn Beck strips away the modern trimmings of Thanksgiving — the parade, the football, the turkey — and takes us back to where it all began: a small band of Pilgrims who lost almost everything yet chose to stop and give thanks to God for the fragile miracle of survival. Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday about abundance. It’s a holiday about gratitude in the face of hardship, humility before unearned blessings, and the recognition that true freedom always costs something. Also, StoryCorps Founder & President Dave Isay joins Glenn to share a story of the difference that one small act of kindness can make.
