>> there were so many people, so many. >> reporter: five are dead, ranging in age from 52 to 81 years old. three of the victims, part of the milwaukee dancing grannies along with one of their husbands. >> i would like everyone to remember how much joy they brought to everyone, how much they taught us, taught us to enjoy dancing and being together and being a family. >> reporter: 48 others were injured. 18 kids were taken to children's wisconsin hospital. six children remain in critical condition. >> what i saw out of chaos and tragedy was heroism, first responders and a community coming together. >> reporter: main street is one massive crime scene wrapped in the police tape. you can tell how quickly families had to evacuate. there are strollers, wagons, chairs spread out along the parade route. >> reporter: the suspect is in custody. it began with a domestic disturbance, and they say he has a long criminal history. earlier this month brooks was charged with battery and domestic abuse after the mother of his child said he intentionally and without her consent ran her over with his vehicle. he was released from jail 11 days ago after posted $11,000 bay which was called very low considering his record. a holiday will forever be remembered for all the wrong reasons. >> our thanks to nbc's tom llamas for that reporting. turning now to capitol hill, the house select committee investigating the january 6th capitol attack has issued another new round of subpoenas. five more allies of former president trump who were directly involved in planning the rally that took place before the insurrection were asked to provide testimony and documents. they include roger stone and alex jones. stone was pardoned by the former president. he appeared at multiple stop the steal events leading up to the capitol attack. according to the committee, stone had been slated to lead a march to the capitol from the ellipse on january 6th but did not end up doing so. in a statement last night stone said in part this, "i have said time and time again i have no knowledge of the events that took place at the capitol on that day. after the subpoena is served and after my counsel reviews the requests,ly make a determination of how i will proceed." an attorney for jones said his client has yet to decide on his next steps. meanwhile, today is also the deadline for several former trump 58 lies to turn over documents to the house select committee. former adviser stephen miller and also press secretary kayleigh mcenany are expected to produce tchl. he was a man about what happened to him. he accepted it and walked away. the comments came from senior district court judge reggie walton who went on to tell the capitol riot defendant adam johnson this. what concerns me, sir, is you were gullible enough to come to washington, d.c., from a florida base on a lie, and the person who inspired you do what you do is still making those statements, and my concern is that you are gullible enough to do it again. judge walton, appointed by the man who defeated al gore, former president george w. bush" added to the statements. johnson could face up to six months in prison under the plea agreement and pay a $500 fine. joining us now, white house reporter for "the washington post," tyler pager. thank you for agreeing to be with us here this morning. certainly they're expanding its reach beyond the trump officials. potentially it involve as what happened on january 6th. talk about from the people you talked to inside the white house. how is this playing? is there any concern -- we know they're trying to keep a firewall there. is there any concern this that is going to become a significant political distraction as it stretches into next year ahead of the midterms? >> yeah, jonathan. it's great to see you this morning. as you said, the white house is doing its best to keep itself separate from the january 6th committee. they think it's important for the committee to continue to investigate what happen and bring those to justice who were responsible for the deadly attack on the capitol, but the white house is trying to stay independent and more than an arm's reach away, really trying to let the committee do the work, to your point, to stay out and above the political fray that is undoubtedly going to come out of the work. this is something president biden had been adamant about, that the committee should do its work. his aides have done the same. privately they say the same. this is important work to understand what happened on the capitol that day, but they want the committee to take the lead and stay out of it to avoid jumping into the politicized process that it's undoubtedly become and will continue to become as these people are subpoenaed and potentially held in contempt as we saw with steve bannon. >> tyler, you've had a pair of terrific stories in recent days, one to tamp down effort that president biden won't run for re-election and then in the white house, particularly the communications department. walk us through it. at times the white house has struggled to get it message out on the president's agenda. and, of course, look, we know since the last election, there are rumors -- the president just turned 79 years old -- that the president wouldn't rerun for president. walk us through what you found. >> yeah. on the first run, it's not typical for the white house that is approaching the first year of the president being in office to have a slew of staff departures. as you know well and many people in washington do that the white house is a grueling place to work. the hours are long. particularly for those who worked on the campaign, it's been almost three years of working every day to elect and then serve the president of the united states. so it's not unusual you're seeing these string of departures. i think what is making this a little more difficult in the first year is there are some budgetary shortfalls stemming from the government -- the bill that congress passed to avert a government shutdown in late september. they will face that financial process again of trying to extend government funding, but this one they passed in september did not have enough funding to cover the white house operating costs some of the white house has said it's tightening its belt and is not replacing employees that have left. obviously the communications department is one of them. but there are a whole host of offices that are dealing with it. they're hoping to alleviate it once the new funding is passed hopefully by congress early next month. but this is not unusual in terms of the departures. what is they haven't been able to hire anyone to replace them. communications is important as they try to sell the infrastructure story bill. as you mentioned, 2024 is a concern with a 79-year-old president that the democrats are trying to sort through. they want to have deference to the president. he's signaled both privately and publicly he's running for re-election, but dhaunlt stop the parlor game. right now preliminary plants are under way to make sure he and the party are in a position should he choose to run in 2022. that does not stop the chatter, what does it look like for an 82-year-old to run for re-election. >> tyler pager, thank you for being here. we're going to dive into e all of that with our guest, karine jean-pierre. also ahead, we'll have an update on the three charged in the murder of ahmaud arbery. don't go anywhere. er of ahmaud . don't go anywhere.

he's going against some republicans who voted for his impeachment. although, some of these people would be best suited for their districts. let me bring it back to congress because i always bring it back to congress. when you are a member of congress and you vote for a bill like the infrastructure bill, you believe it's best for your district. now, there's no purity test that's necessary here because you're voting for it because you believe it helps your district and helps you win re-election. that's not the judgment that some republican leaders are making or some rank-and-file republicans make when they threaten to punish people who step out of line. it's mostly about trump and the party. >> i feel comfortable with this question. the house committee issued new rounds of subpoenas yesterday. there are new names like roger stone, alex jones. what's your take on the new subpoenas? they're a little bit of the trump inner circle than the first wave. what's your sense in terms of a timetable? how quickly do they need to respond? how likely are they to reply? and what's next for the committee? >> certainly they're likely to not comply. trump believes it's a witch hunt, although, there was a violent insurrection at the capitol on january 6th. i think that largely speaking, all of this goes back to whether the president is able to exert executive privilege over people who have worked for him or around him, and the courts will be the ones to decide that in the coming weeks or months. i want to add one more thing. this is going to go through next year. we have to be comfortable with that and understanding of it. this investigation is not going to wrap up any time soon. remember, republicans had an ability to support a committee that would have wrapped up by the end of this year. they chose not to do so. >> you're exactly right. thank you for understand scoring this point. this will provide a backdrop to the upcoming elections. thank you, my friend. have a great thanksgiving. we'll see you on the other side of the holiday. coming up, what you all need to know ahead of the holiday travel rush. plus, the retailers closing their doors to customers, hoping for a head start on black friday shopping.

tapped fed chair jerome powell to continue. his approval rating has sunk. biden believes powell is the best choice to continue guiding the economy through its recovery. an aide close to senate minority leader mitch mcconnell tells nbc news the republican leader is expected to support chairman powell's nomination. that's a key part of this. powell already confirmed once will likely be again. joining us to talk about all this, karine jean-pierre. good to have you here. >> good morning, jonathan. >> good morning. senator elizabeth warren, fellow democrat, has already said she won't support jerome powell. talk if you could about her concern, and what made the president decide to tap him for a second term at a time obviously of incredible scrutiny on the nation's economy. >> well, jonathan, let me first say congratulations. i have not been on your show since the announcement, so very happy for you. >> thank you. >> yes, it is way too early, but i'm happy to join you this morning and any time. any time. >> we'll take you up on that. >> i just wanted to just reiterate a little bit of what the president said yesterday on his pick of chair powell. you know, as we know, the country is still coming out of challenges as we're trying to deal with this once-in-a-generation pandemic, but i do want to lean into what he said yesterday, is that what we have seen in the last ten months and the president's leadership in creating jobs in the last ten months, we're seeing unemployment at 4.6%, which is two years faster than predicted, we're leading globally when it comes to economic recovery. so all of these things are really important and were unprecedented, and the president was able to do this. one of the reasons as well if you couple that with the chairman's record these past four years an also how he's maneuvered the federal reserve through this pandemic, his leadership are all reasons why the president reappointed chairman powell and also how he was able to keep the federal reserve independent as the president spoke about as well during some of the toughest years, and so these are key cry fear yas for why the president wanted to move forward with powell. look. just in your question about senator warren who we very much respect and have worked closely with on many issues, the president understands that the strength of our economy is with the middle class, and people like towns from scranton, pennsylvania, where the president is from, not wall street, and so this is what he believes chairman powell will continue to do. he's put some really tough safeguards against big banks and maintaining that, and so we believe he'll continue do that. and so the president's really proud of his pick and moving forward on getting that -- getting economy growing again for the american public. >> on the note on the economy, the senate will begin work on the build back better act after the thanksgiving holiday. we know there are twists and turns ahead. when does the president expect to see change in the house bill now that it's in the upper chamber. >> i'll say this. we have been working on the build back better agenda for months now, talking to senators and house members, and we're going to build on the giant step that house members took last week and build on that build ont momentum. the build back better bill act as you heard deals with what americans are struggling with right now, child care, elder care, making sure we have universal pre-k for three year olds and four year olds and lowering costs for the american families and giving them that middle class tax cut, all critical in how we are investing in our economy and how we are going to move forward. lastly it's so important that it will be completely paid for and will help ease inflation and don't listen to me, listen to, know, we have financial rating firm who says this finch and moody last week it will ease inflation and having this investment will be key and critical to continue to move our economy. >> karine, the nation is gripped by two trials, the closing days in georgia for ahmaud arbery was killed. we heard from the president after the rittenhouse's verdict. how does he address americans including many voters who feel they lost faith in the justice system? >> look, you know, the department of justice is an independent entity and the president as you know is always committed to dealing with racial injustice. when he steps into this administration, he talked about the multiple crisis. we just had a conversation about the economy, climate change, covid the pandemic kind of connects the economy and what we are seeing currently but also racial injustice. he was very clear on day one that he was going to start tackling that. it's going to take some
