when we come back, we look at trump's thicke to be the secretary energy, rick harry. ay with us. -- trumps kick to be secretary of energy, rick perry. stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. donald trump has chosen former texas governor rick perry to be energy secretary. governor perry famously attempted to propose to abolish the energy department, but then couldn't remember the name of the agency during a live televised debate in 2011. >> it is three agencies of government when i get there thtt are gonene. commerce, education, and the -- what is the ththird one? let's see. >> you can't name the third one? >> kid third agency of government -- i wowould do away with thehe education, t the come -- let's see. i can't. amy: that was rick perry during the televised presidential debate in 2011. he later told reporters that the agency he had forgotten was the energy department. governor perry has deep ties to the fossil fuel industry, including serving on the corporate boards of both energy transf

rick harry dropped out pretty quickly to endorse trump. this is the spot he's going to get.l like his background would make them better suited for the agriculture department. as you know, the energy department is really a science agency. its biggest job is to maintain the country's nuclear arsenal. this will be the first time in several years that that department is not led by an actual scientist. scarlet: yeah, that would be a change. of all the different nominees, which of them are the most vulnerable to not being confirmed by congress? i don't think that to -- alex: i don't think that tillerson is a sure thing at all. bill gates and condoleezza rice work for a firm that represented exxon, so i don't know that their public support is entirely credible, i'm afraid. he's not going to get a free ride. next on my list would be the oklahoma attorney general, pruitt, for epa. he's a guy that i think democrats will be happy to go to the mat over because of his views on climate change and how much that issue distinction the democratic party from republicans. as is -- as mentioned,

rick. >> good morning. and thank you, sara. i'd like to welcome my guest from phoenix, ira harris. a, thanks for taking the time. >> rick, my pleasure. happy holidays to everybody and a happy new year coming up. >> absolutely. now, the ft ran a story a couple of days ago titled ecb should not be afraid to raise interest rates, says bundus bank chief. we all know that's about wiedman. you think he's on to something there and you've written extensively at some of the thoughts that he's hinted at in that article. why don't you elaborate, ira. >> well, he wrote that piece and he's basically calling for a resix of the course of negative interest rate policy because, again, germany is far different from the rest of europe. there was a ten-page speech that he delivered at a conference and if you read the speech carefully, he's laying down the groundwork to counteract draghi. make no mistake about it that they are very much at odds. and i think when you saw the cut in the purchases from 80 billion to 60 billion, even though the program was extended, that was i think because of the pushback,

those announcements soon, sources tell fox news that rick perry will be chosen to head up the energy department in what really is the height of irony, harris, the energy department was one of the departments that rick perry said back in 2011 when running for president that he would eliminate and one department that he forgot in the 2011 debate when it would be commerce, education and then he couldn't remember the rest. other news coming out of trump tower. donald trump was supposed to hold a press conference on thursday in which he was going to lay out the plan for him to separate himself from the businesses. he's decided to postpone that in second week of january. transition sources tell me that they bit off more than they could chew with cabinet appointments. they couldn't jam it all in, however, strategically and not saying that this is the reason why, but donald trump could have faced a lot of difficult questions on thursday regarding russian hacking by separating himself from his businesses, he now will not have to answer some difficult questions until after the electors vote which is next tuesday, the 19th. reince priebus said there'

rick perry? we are became. james toronto and joe. joe, what is harry reid's main legacy? >> i think he is the most consequential democratic senator since lbj. he pushed through a very ambitious social agenda. unlike lbj his legacy will be essence. he made procedure rule changes that will make it easier to get rid of everything he passed in the first years of the obama administration. >> and the nominees in p particular -- >> and for supreme court justices. >> it will make it easier for donald trump to get his through. >> yes. ironically is to make it measurerable for the next four years. >> what reid did is to make life miserable for chuck shummer. the minority leader when the president was with the other party. the senate has a great deal of power to obstruct. reid set precedent by which republicans could take more of it away. it would make it a lot harder for shumer to block president trump's agenda. >> let's talk about yuca mountain. reid and obama, mr. president, i'll represent you and i will block everything and try to get as little as possible that you have to veto

harris in arizona. now we'll go back to sara. >>> about 27 points away from dow 20k, rick, thank you. >>> the president-elect'sax and trade rhetoric setting off some alarm bells among retailers. we're watching this group closely. our courtney reagan has more on what apparel companies in particular can expect here from any changes in the tax code, courtney. >> that's right, sara. so technology really changed a lot over the last several years for retail. going forward it could be fiscal policy, those. trump's tariff rhetoric has gotten a lot of attention but it's the house ways and means committee tax reform proposal that's scaring the pants off of clothing and shoe retailers. the plan was proposed over the summer about but became more of a possibility. so there are three parts to it. a corporate tax rate of 20%. that is certainly welcome since we often look at 35%. an immediate depreciation expense could also bow good. it's the third one that's the real zinger. border adjustments no non-u.s. manufactured goods. 95% of clothing and shoes are manufactured overseas that are sold here. so here's an example of how i

harris: good to have you. thanks for being here. >> pleasure. meghan: begin with a cabinet almost full. president-elect donald trump tapping former texas governor rick perry to head the energy department. three sources telling fox news that he also sent along montana congressman ryan zinn key. he touted rex tillerson and talking about the ties to russian president vladmir putin. >> rex is friendly with leaders of the world we don't get alongwith. they do not want us to be friendly. i'm doing the deal with rex because this is what this is all about. meghan: those words by the president-elect seemed aimed at republican lawmakers, marco rubio, john mccain and lindsey graham. a all whom expressed concerns about tillerson's russian ties. the bob corker who will head the committee that takes up tillerson's nomination, lawmakers want to hear his positions on vladmir putin. listen. >> putin is not a friend to the united states. putin has not been a friend to freedom and democracy and western values and competition. i mean that is just not who he is. and people are going to want to know. it accelerated or amplified by the fact that president-elect trump has

rick perry will have an opportunity to look at this. if the issue is radioactive among voters in nevada, so both senators will try to stop it. it's not clear thanks to harryeid they'll have much to do about it. >> you still have to do something about nuclear waste which is building up at multiple sites around the country. it's still a problem. it's been declared a safe spot. that is the repository there is safe, not a threat to the environment. what would your recommendation be to secretary perry? >> my first recommendation is he name it the harry reid memorial nuclear waste repository in harry reid, nevada. >> not bad. but go ahead with it as well this. >> absolutely. it passed all the environmental and safety tests. >> what about the tone, harry reid was known for his nastiness? he said mitt romney hadn't paid his taxes, turned ot to be total fabrication. he threw it out there. i think he called president bush a loser. donald trump calls other people losers. reid and trump share some of that rhetorical excess. >> harry reid was snidely whiplash without the mustache. here is the irony of his legacy, i think he contributed in great part to donald trump be
