On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker is joined by editorial cartoonist Ted Rall to discuss what Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of State means for the U.S. and the world.

The high-stakes drama over Trump's choice has come to an end as Rex Tillerson gets the nod. The CEO of Exxon Mobil is the latest millionaire businessman to join Trump’s cabinet.

Today marks the five year anniversary since the Obama administration declared the war in Iraq over, but thousands of troops remain half a decade later as the U.S. bombs Mosul and the country teeters on the verge of partition. Becker is joined by Michael Prysner, a former U.S. Army soldier who fought in Iraq who became an anti-war activist.

Donald Trump has picked Rick Perry, the former governor of Texas and fellow climate change denier, to lead the Energy Department that he once advocated abolishing — a position that he had a little trouble remembering. Greg Mello, the Secretary and Executive Director of the Los Alamos Study Group, joins the show.
