Hello, my name is David Runseman and this is Talking Politics.

Okay, that's a great act.

It's a point to cover in this morning's ban. There's still no coffee.

And I'm joined this week by Helen Thompson, Mara Raffia Tarl, Aaron Rapport and Finn Barlovesie.

I don't see them don't for the mood.

Yeah, so dark then like bringing no day to my darkness.

And we're going to try and make sense of Trump's cabinet and I should say up front, I'm not sure we're up to the task of this.

I certainly am finding it hard to fit all the pieces together.

So the CIA is like what they were never negative about.

I just, you know, this is the problem with the scientists because they can everybody.

I'm particularly looking at Aaron who's going to tell us about how the generals and the fast food executives and the oil barons

make a foreign policy.

Should we start with Mr Rex Tillerson?

I think we've each got lists in front of us.

I'm looking at the real clear politics, cabinet tracker, which isn't as exciting as the pole tracker.

But it does keep throwing up surprises.

I think it was yesterday morning it was confirmed that Rex Tillerson, who's the CEO of ExxonMobil,

is going to be in the next Secretary of State.

He also holds the, it's not the presidential medal of freedom from Vladimir Putin.

What is friendship medal?

The friendship medal, which I believe is also held by various other...

Including the archbishop of Ken.
