Well have a lot more this morning about how to protect yo weather as a massive wave of cold is moving in. It is coming here but well begin with breaking news from the trump transition. President elect expected to choose rick perry for Energy Secretary. He met with the former Texas Governor monday at trump tower. You see him right there. And also trump nominating exxonmobil Ceo Rex Tillerson for secretary of state. His close ties to Vladimir Putin raising questions and abcs tom llamas at the white house with all the details for us. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you and the president elect just tweeting moments ago posting on twitter, i have chosen one of the truly great Business Leaders of the world, Rex Tillerson, to be secretary of state. If tillerson is confirmed this would totally break with tradition because hed be the first pick ever with no government or military experience to lead the state department. This as president elect trump is also asking one of his former rivals to join his administration. This morning, president elect donald trump making that much anticipated announcement, selecting exxonmobils ceo, Rex Tillerson, to be secretary of state as a businessman, tillerson was clear about his goals on deals overseas. Im not here to represent the United States governments interests. Im not here to defend it nor am i here to criticize it. Thats not what i do. Im a businessman. Reporter tillerson has no formal experience in government. But since taking his current role in 2006, the 64yearold has brokered International Deals as the leader of one of the worlds most valuable publicly traded oil companies, including deals with russia. Ive invested a lot of money, our company has invested a lot of money in russia. Very successfully. Reporter tillersons global ties especially his relationship with russian president Vladimir Putin now under the microscope. The two seen here sharing a champagne toast, putin even honoring him with the order of friendship, one of the countrys top honors for foreigners. Ive known him since 1999 and with him. I dont agree with everything hes doing. I dont agree with everything a lost leaders are doing. Reporter it happened as leaders in congress break with the president elect, announcing they will investigate if russia used hackers to try and influence the election. Theres simply cannot be a partisan issue. Reporter overnight the president weighing in. I dont think there was any doubt among anybody in the media or among members of congress as to who was being advantaged or disadvantaged by the political gossip that was being put out in drip, drip, drip fashion. Reporter this as transition sources tell abc news president elect trump has selected former Texas Governor rick perry as secretary of the department of energy. Perry, who once compared trump to cancer also famously forgot he wanted to abolish the Energy Department. The third agency of education, the commerce and, lets see. I cant. The third one i cant, sorry. Oops. Reporter perry who was recently on dancing with the stars seen here with vanilla ice was back at trump tower just yesterday for a second round of meetings. And for weeks we have been telling you president elect trump is set to hold a News Conference tomorrow to discuss his business ties, we now know that trump is actually postponing that News Conference but last night he tweeted this, posting this on twitter. Even though im not mandated by law to do so, i will be leaving my businesses before january 20th so that i can focus full time on the presidency. Two of my children, don and eric, plus executives, will manage them. No new deals will be done during my terms in office but, again, still so many questions about his business dealings and exactly how this arrangement will work out. We dont know when that News Conference will be. They have a lot down there, tom, thanks very much. More on this from martha raddatz. Matt dowd and, martha, let me begin with you on Rex Tillerson. Came well recommended from james baker and robert gates and condi rice, w. Bush so whats the best case for him . Reporter he is a highly successful dealmaker. He does know players around the world, not just in russia and knows how to negotiate. He said himself the russian government knows that when he says no, he means it and if you want to shake things up around the world and inside the state department itself with those career diplomats, Rex Tillerson can probably do that. And if trump brings in john bolton as deputy secretary of state who has a very different view of the world than it seems trump has he will have a kind of Good Cop Bad Cop working there with tillerson and bolton and that can potentially work well. But i think we also have to point out, george, that we really dont know what trumps gr really is and where he wants to go with it. We could find out at the confirmation hearings. Tillerson also getting caught in a squeeze play, questions over ties to putin and democrats on climb change. Reporter exactly and thats another thing. We dont really know what tillerson will do with that. He had business dealings affected by that before. He says he certainly believes in climate change. But putin said they want a better relationship and that is going to be tougher right now because of that and because of these hacking charges although so far donald trump says he doesnt believe that. On those hacking charges, matthew dowd, the real collision coming between donald trump, the president elect and congress including republicans in congress. Well, looks what donald trump has united opposition on this whole issue not only reeled to what martha said to the cabinet pick but opposition and on this issue it goes to does it delegitimize Donald Trumps presidency at the beginning. To Hillary Clinton and questions related to the election and now you have this situation which donald trump and his staff know is problematic for the integrity as he enters this office so its going to be a big problem. Monday night when the electors meet, how many will abandon him in the course of this. You know rick perry pretty well. What difference can he make . I know him really well and took his filing years ago when he ran as a democrat when i was working at the democratic party. I think the fascinating thing about this, donald trump is nominating rick perry who wants to disband the Energy Department. Hes nominated somebody to be head of epa that wants to get rid of regulations. Hes nominated somebody as secretary of education that is against much of what the education wants to do and nominated somebody as health and hew as somebody who wants to get rid of much of what they want to do. He has a cabinet he put together againsmu cabinet positions are supposed to be doing. Thanks very much. Michael. Thank you, george. Now to the deep freeze alert from california to new york. Ginger is tracking it all and, ginger, i have out my winter coat. I think i need my winter winter coat because this could be the coldest december in a decade. You need your february coat. What you need because thats the type of air were talking about. 15 to 30 degrees below average. It creates a lot of lakeeffect snow, already did in my hometown. Thats where pictures are from right now. More than 18 inches in just the last five days and settling in with the windchill advisories and National WeatherService Warning if youre exposed to this type of air, windchills 30 below or less you could see just in 30 minutes frostbite. This is serious. Also the time of year we start to hear about the polar vortex, not a monster but a broad area of low pressure and may feel like it because the jet stream that acts as a fence keeping that cold air in, well that, is diving south and allowing some cold air to come in and by some of that, 25 below the like, nashville, 9, you guys and hits the northeast friday. Pull up the long johns. February, yes. Thank you, ginger. The latest on the dylann roof trial coming off a chilling day where the jury saw evidence where he killed nine africanamericans had plans to target more black churches and Steve Osunsami is outside the courtroom. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning to you, george. The victims families have been filling the courtroom and there have been awkward moments with dylann roof and one of his lawyers laughing during breaks and theres nothing funny here at all. This morning, we expect to hear from police seen here arresting dylann roof in North Carolina. After police say he ran from the murder scene at this Historic Black Church in charleston. From his car, police say they pulled a Confederate Flag and this 45 caliber glock under a pillow in the backseat and burned American Flag in the trunk. They also found a list of other black churches in the charleston area. In his confession roof fbi he considered other targets. I thought about going to like a black festival or Something Like that but they got security and stuff and you got that wait for the day. Reporter his video confession played in court is coldblooded. Why did you have to do it . Well, i had to do it because somebody had to do something because black people are killing white people every day. Reporter he killed those nine at a bible study because hes a white nastist who doesnt believe that black lives matter at all. Is that why you chose that church. Oh, yes. Because you were looking for africanamericans . Right. I wasnt going to go to another church, you know, because there could have been white people there. Reporter jurors are learning he should have never been able to buy the gun. Video show him going and coming from a gun store a whole two months before the killings, a background check should have denied him the firearm because of a previous arrest for drug possession. The government got back to that Gun Store Owner by the end of june, a full two weeks after the killings, robin. Disturbing to hear that, steve, thank you. To that breaking news of a recall of a popular kitchen item. Older blades on cuisinart Food Processors could break apart and end up in your food and david kerley has the details. Reporter an urgent warning for a holiday staple. Conair the maker of cuisinart and the government announcing that recall of 8 million Food Processors. These are in millions of American Homes including my own and theyre really dangerous products. Reporter the cpsc and conair urging consumers to stop using the processors riveted blades with four rivets and beige center hub seen here working properly in this infomercial but those blades can crack over time sending small metal p your processed food. Imagine having broken bits of a metal blade in your food and in your mouth. There are dozens of incidents of cuts to the mouth and broken teeth because of these products. Reporter conair says there are 69 reports of these broken blades and 30 reports of cuts in consumers mouths or tooth injuries. Made over the past 22 years, 22 different models are being recalled. Its probably more in the 20yearold side and so we dont want consumers to be complacent even if they think they had it for a long time, put it aside. Check the model number. Make sure you dont have a recalled product and if you do, please act on the recall. Reporter some models were just made last year. This ordered minutes ago. Can you go to cpsc. Gov. I was just there and see if yours is one of those recalled. Now, the company is offering a free replacement blade if you do have one of these recalls and as we said, robin, them out there.
