I'll try to find a video.
They are all worth hearing & all offer humility & competence & a common goal, service for the people of the country & rekindling relations with our allies.

The head of DHS was an immigrant, his parents fled Cuba & became citizens. Quite a change from what we've had!

The Secy of State Antony Blinken step father was 1 of 900 children, the only one to survive a holocaust camp, escaped & found a US tank, the Black soldier open the hatch & he said the only American words his mom taught him, "God bless America."

also;
"My fellow career diplomats and public servants around the world, I want to say to you: America is back, multilateralism is back, diplomacy is back," said Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Biden's pick for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations."
She cooked gumbo with many people in her travels, making many friends.

his pick for director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, would be the first woman to lead the intelligence community
She promised to continue to be a straight shooter, she knew he expected & appreciated that.

They truly look like America. No grandstanders, a quality experienced team.

Haven't been following this so much.

Who are they?

I am sure they will be competent. Do they have interesting ideas?

For myself, I am looking for something new, as you know. A bit more humility. Less of the pulpit, more of the recognition that something bad just happened in America. With that, maybe a little sensitivity to the issues each country faces.

From my perspective, begin with Brexit. A decision was made democratically. I understand that many Americans think the integration process that was happening in Europe was in the US interest. But the British people didn't want that. So be flexible: accommodate that choice. It was about sovereignty more than anything. That is our interest: to control our own destiny. Just like Americans like to control their own.

I am already concerned. But will give Biden a chance to show that he understands that reality has moved on.
