>> reporter: police say darrell brooks plowed this maroon suv through a crowd of parade participants injuring more than 40 people, including 18 children, 6 still in critical condition. brooks now charged with five counts of first degree intentional homicide. overnight a vigil in waukesha for the victims, side by side, community members coming together to grieve. three of the women killed were members of the dancing grannies, ranging in age from 52 to 81. the youngest, tamara durand was dancing with the group for the first time. her husband remembering her as a vibrant, loving and warm woman who we all miss deeply already. the dancing grannies put out this statement, our group was doing what they loved, performing in front of crowds in a parade putting smiles on faces of all ages filling them with joy and happiness. >> our community has faced

horror and tragedy in what should have been a community celebration. >> reporter: police say this isn't the first time brooks is accused of using a car as a weapon. earlier this month he was arrested for allegedly using that same suv to run overthe mother of his child after allegedly striking her with a closed fist. brooks was charged in that incident but released when he posted bail, $1,000. the mayhem caught on camera showing the instant the holiday cheer turned to chaos. this video showing the suv swerving ahead of a marching band before speeding up. here you can see people scrambling to move out of its path. >> that was the worst thing i've ever seen in mlife >>eporter: d sneidman's reco sh refuge. >> there were parents who were pushing their children underneath my record racks to keep them safe. i literally saw roughly ten people bounce off that car and

you could hear thud, thud, thud, thud, thud as he drove through that. and you could hear it, which is a sound i'll never forget. >> reporter: ryan kohnke's niece was with her dance group that was part of the parade when the suv struck her. >> jessalyn is still fighting for her life. she took direct impact from the car. i feel like she's going to fight no matter what and right now we're just looking towards the positive. >> reporter: you can hear the trauma in the voices of the people who experienced all this. brooks is said to make an initial appearance in court last this afternoon. michael? >> an unnecessary tragedy there. alex, thank you so much. now going to turn to jury deliberations expected to begin in the trial of the three men accused of killing ahmaud arbery. steve osunsami is live outside the courthouse in brunswick, georgia, with more on the closing arguments. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. this morning at the courthouse today the prosecutor is continuing her closing arguments expecting to go the full two

hours, she is allowed and then the jury could get this case. a great deal has been said about the jury, that all but 1 of thea debating whether the three men accused of murder in this racially explosive case will ever walk free again. >> they made their decision to attack ahmaud arbery in their driveways because he was a black man running down the street. >> reporter: the defendants travis mcmichael, his father gregory mcmichael and william "roddie" bryan are all accused of being the aggressors on this sunny day in february of last year. they pleaded not guilty. >> three-on-one, two pickup trucks, two guns. mr. arbery, nothing in his pockets, not a cell phone, not a gun, not even an i.d. they want you to believe that he is the danger to them. >> reporter: 25-year-old ahmaud arbery is seen in this disturbing cell phone video taking his last breaths.

lawyers for the three men told jurors the killing was self-defense because they say he tried to overpower their client and take his gun. >> you are allowed to defend yourself. you are allowed to use force that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if you believe it's necessary. at that moment travis believed it was necessary. >> reporter: the three men are hoping jurors believe that they were trying to make a citizen's arrest under then georgia law. even though police report that arbery is never seen stealing anything at this neighborhood construction site. never living up to the suspicions of the three men. >> turning ahmaud arbery into a victim after the choices that he made does not reflect the reality of what brought ahmaud arbery to satilla shores in his

khaki shorts with no socks to cover his long, dirty toenails. >> reporter: we met arbery's father who told us he believes his family will see justice. >> the evidence is overwhelming and no way we can't get justice. >> reporter: this has been difficult for all of the families to sit in court and hear, especially for the family of ahmaud arbery. wanda cooper, his mother, had to listen yesterday as one of the defense lawyers made unfortunate comments about her son's appearance. it was all too much and she had to leave the courtroom. george? >> what a trial. okay, steve, thanks. to the white house where the president is making major economic moves deciding to tap the strategic petroleum reserve to bring down gas prices and affirming the leadership at the federal reserve. cecilia vega has the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning. president biden, he is keenly aware of the hit he is taking with americans around the country as they see rising prices at the pump and hit the road for this holiday so i've been told by a senior administration official as you said that the president today is going to announce he is tapping

into these oil reserves, the strategic oil reserves. 50 million barrels is what we're hearing he will release. the presidents in this country have only released this supply is handful of times. so the big question, when are americans going to feel this impact? experts say the news of this announcement alone is likely to be enough to prompt a short-term drop in oil prices but it's going to take about two weeks for americans to really see this as these prices trickle down to stations around the country. now, the president we've been talking about for so long has been taking a hit in the polls when it comes to his handling of the economy and the white house is saying, look, this is a top priority for him. george, as you mentioned, he has announced he is nominating jerome powell as fed chair. powell was former president trump's pick for this post as well and by keeping him in that chair, president biden is bucking concerns from some progressives. but the president is making it clear given this inflation and the economy we are seeing right now, he doesn't want the instability, george.

he says powell is the right person for the job at this time. >> the message is stay the course. cecelia, thanks very much. robin? now to the thanksgiving travel rush. what you need to know if you're among the more than 50 million heading out. first to trevor ault with what to expect if you're hitting the road. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, robin. aaa is expecting 48.3 million americans to drive somewhere this thanksgiving. that amount of travel would get pretty close to the numbers we saw prepandemic back in 2019. though, of course, we just heard from cecilia's report, americans who are driving this thanksgiving are going to be paying a lot more than they have in the past several years. despite those efforts from the biden administration, the gas price average for a gallon is about $3.40, about a buck and a quarter more than it was this time last year. if you are going to be driving this week, it's going to be quite difficult to avoid the traffic. so tomorrow through sunday your best times will be in the mornings, think before 11:00 a.m. or tomorrow night.

you could go after 9:00 so long as you aren't driving too far. though iesyoy, saturday orunda you should plan on pretty heavy traffic from noon all the way into and through the evenings. michael? >> all right, trevor, thank you. now going to tell you what you need to know if you're taking to the skies. we're going to go to victor oquendo at miami international airport. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the tsa is bracing for a very, very busy thanksgiving weekend saying they expect travel volumes to reach 2019 prepandemic levels and screening 20 million passengers overall so airports will be packed today and tomorrow with about 2.1 million projected travelers. the tsa saying sunday after thanksgiving will actually be the busiest travel day of the year with an estimated 2.4 million. the good news is the agency said it is confident and it has the staffing needed to manage this holiday travel crush.

as for the best times to fly this holiday, at this point you most likely or should already have your tickets. but wednesday will have the highest number of departures, sunday with the highest number of flights overall. stop me if you've heard this before. allow yourself some extra time if you're planning on flying over thanksgiving and arrive at least two hours before your flight. michael? >> victor, the busiest airport, what's that? >> reporter: well, right now i can tell you it feels like miami international airport but it is actually atlanta. plan on some extra time if you're flying there or connecting through there. michael? >> all right, victor, thank you for the advice as always. now going to go to the weather and ginger with the forecast. is it looking good? >> reporter: michael, i don't know that we could ask for a better forecast for a holiday travel weekend. we've seen ugly ones in years past and deserve this. there are some lake-effect snow showers. you could see some squalls, of course, something you want to pay close attention to if you're traveling in the lee of the lakes. syracuse picked up anywhere from two to five inches. there will be more lake effect

in some places in western new york or pennsylvania but, man, it's about the cold. michael, the only one that looks like it could see a little snowflake wednesday, denver up to ft. collins. >> all right, that's good. thank you, ginger. george? we get the latest from kyle rittenhouse who is speaking out in his first television interview since being acquitted on charges of killing two men and attempting to kill another. terry moran has the details. >> reporter: overnight kyle rittenhouse speaking out. >> if i was convicted, no one would be able -- no one would ever be privileged to defend their life against attackers. >> reporter: the 18-year-old opened up on fox news for the first time about being at the center of a trial that ignited a national debate on self-defense, gun rights and vigilantism. >> it wasn't kyle rittenhouse on trial in wisconsin. it was the right to self-defense on trial. >> reporter: just 17 years old when he shot and killed joseph rosenbaum and anthony huber and wounded gaige grosskreutz during

protests last year over the police shooting of jacob blake in kenosha, he now insists the case never had anything to do with race. >> i'm not a racist person. i support the blm movement and peacefully demonstrating and i believe there needs to be change. >> reporter: he says he resents becoming a political symbol. >> this is something that i wish never would have happened, but it did and we can't change that. how polarized it became is absolutely sickening. like right or left, people using me for a cause that should never have been used as a cause. >> reporter: rittenhouse says he wasn't surprised by the not guilty verdict and is now looking towards his future. >> i am hoping i can live a quiet stress-free life and just go on with my life as a normal 18-year-old kid attending college. >> reporter: but for anthony huber's family that acquittal meant something different. >> we relived his death all over again that moment.

>> reporter: kyle rittenhouse will probably face more legal consequences of his actions. the families of the people that he shot are willing to sue him and it looks like they will do that. he does say he wants to go on and have a career either in nursing or maybe he wants to become a lawyer. robin? >> all right, terry, thank you. we're going to turn to a startling moment when a wrestling fan came speeding out of nowhere on live tv, tackled a wwe star. will reeve is there in brooklyn with what happened there last night. good morning, will. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. seth rollins is one of wwe's biggest stars and last night at the barclay center he was leafing the stage when out of nowhere he was blind-sided by a spectator. they went to the ground, a tussle ensued. referees, security guards

pouncing on the man pummeling him, detaining him as rollins got up furious screaming at the man along with the fans who were surrounding the incident and the first part of it aired on tv. and you may be thinking this is pro wrestling, it had to have been staged, no, this was unscripted, unexpected. much of the shocking scene caught on cell phone camera by the fans right around those barriers next to where it happened and something similar happened at barclay's in 2019, a spectator rushing the ring attacking bret "the hit man" hart. as for last night's incident, the 24-year-old man was arrested, charged with attempted assault. the wwe said in a statement he had been turned over to the nypd and will be prosecuted to the pu fullest extent of the law. >> oh, my goodness. that's what people thought and will addressed it. it was not staged. all right, turning now to a record-breaking monday night football game for mike evans. the tampa bay bucs wide receiver scored his 72nd career touchdown. that's the most in tampa bay franchise history. did it against my giants, of

course. now we remember this moment when mike evans accidentally gave away tom brady's record-breaking touchdown ball there. it took a lot to get that ball back for tom brady, but this time mike evans held on to his ball for his record. smart man there. >> very smart. >> your giants. >> my giants. a lot more coming up on "gma" including the new documentary, "the princes and the press" more on the royal rift between william and harry. i have big news. wait till you find out where i'm going. first, let's go back to ginger. hey, ginger. >> reporter: yes, i can't wait to find out. michael, look where i am. this is the fairview farm talking christmas trees and the crunch. how climate change and also the supply chain might be urging you to get things a little sooner. we'll get to all that holiday spirit coming up but the tuesday trivia sponsored by jersey mike's.

medical innovations. just four months ago -- >> history is about to be made. in just a few moments -- >> reporter: -- i was reporting on blue origin's first human launch. >> just can't help but be in awe watching this. this is magnificent. one of the greatest things i've ever seen. >> reporter: moments after landing i spoke with founder jeff bezos and his brother mark. >> we need to get good at going to space so that we can save the earth. it's true we've got tons of problems here on earth and we need to work on those in the here and now too and we need to be building reusable space vehicles so that future generations can do that. >> i'm enamored by what you've done. i wouldn't have considered this until i saw you doing this today. >> reporter: completely unaware i too would be asked to board the flight of a lifetime and i won't be going alone. joining me in the capsule laura shepard churchley, the eldest daughter of the first american to ever fly to space alan shepherd and four other passengers including the first

parent and child pair to blast into space. just two days ago i tried on my flight suit for the very first time. >> fits like a glove. >> reporter: in just 16 days i will go where few men and women have gone before. >> a few adjustments and we are a-okay, perfect fit. going to space. >> going to space. >> wow. how did this all happen? >> blue origin, they approached me and they asked if i wanted to be a crew member and without hesitation, excuse me, without hesitation, i said yes. >> what made you want to do it? i think beg there t first launch just really -- it was mind blowing. and innovators have been risk takers, you know, the wright brothers. how would we live without a plane now? we don't think about that and i believe this is a way of being innovative, creative, pioneers in aviation, now space travel and it's going to take a while but i do believe it will bring a

lot of technological breakthroughs and also innovations to us here on earth and i just wanted to be a part of it. i just, you know, was really enamored by the first flight i saw. >> very cool. so what's next? >> i have to go down to texas. i have to head to the blue origin facility, in about a week and a half and do all the safety briefings and get prepared, all the training it takes to do it. and i have a great crew who i've met over zoom and we have laura shepard churchley, the daughter of alan shepard, dylan taylor, evan dick, he is an investor, and lane bess, founder of bess ventures and joining him is his child cameron, the first parent/child going to space. to see everybody on the zooms, to see the excitement to do this and to come together, i mean, you really feel like you're part

if mission control sees that anything is about to go wrong, this will launch that little booster here and you will get far and fast away from that rocket to keep you safe. you're going to fly out into the sky somewhere and basically the parachutes will deploy at that point and you will land safely just as you would in any other case, but this is the most important part because it is designed to keep you safe. >> gio, i'm sure i will see you in van horn, texas, when i'm down there and we can talk even more about it, my friend. i appreciate you. thank you. >> reporter: thank you. >> we can tell how excited you are about it. all right. coming up, ginger is at a christmas tree farm with what you need to know to get your tree that's right for your family.

here at fairview you can see on the drone this farm in new jersey expecting a busy year, and they've had a good one so far. when it comes to trees, though, most of them in this nation are grown in oregon and if you'll remember we had that historic heat wave where they lost more than 70% of their most famous tree, the noble fir. many people are getting in the spirit even before thanksgiving. >> fabulous! >> reporter: but getting that perfect tree -- >> maybe it just needs a little love. >> reporter: -- like the griswolds -- >> there it is. >> reporter: -- maybe a little more difficult this year. the combination of labor shortages and trucking costs for christmas trees in valley view will be their shortest season. >> they're not all going to get orders. >> reporter: oregon is the biggest producer of christmas trees in the u.s. many were decimated by the record-setting heat earlier is>a

you can see they've got brown, you know, needles all the way through all up and down the tree and we don't know if this is ever going to survive. >> reporter: climate change has exacerbated natural droughts and heat especially impacting the pacific northwest's most popular tree, noble fir. >> we lost 70% of the nobles across the state with the heat dome. >> reporter: the biggest tip, buy early. >> i think everyone will be able to get a tree if you want. go early, be flexible. >> reporter: if you can't find a re real tree to your liking, buying a fake tree could be challenging at cost more this year. >> consumers will see this year as probably a 10% to 30% increase in price depending on the tree, depending on the retailer and how big the tree is. that said, what i'm concerned about is actually for christmas '22 it might be a better deal to buy this year than next year. >> reporter: if you're wondering which is better for the planet, well, the real tree usually comes out on top. these christmas tree farms, they

are seeded and really grown for this specific reason and so if you get rid of it properly, don't put it in a plastic bag and try to buy local and ask them how many pesticides they use it's a better choice over the fake tree which is, of course, made out of plastic. if you have one like we do at our house, hold on to it as long as you can. it does have a longer carbon too in but you can me the most of than 20 years helps to e it worth it. i don't know who is doing this but i kind of want to a burlaped and ball bag at the bottom of your tree, it can be replanted. there are companies that let you rent it every year and take it in and out of the ground. >> i never heard of that before. >> rent a tree? is that what you said? >> reporter: yeah, rent a tree. >> there you go. all right, ginger. >> reporter: makes sense. >> it does make sense, why not. >> cars, trees, what else? coming up later becky worley is bringing us pop-up savings as we count down to black friday. coming up next our "play of the day" that will make you say hallelujah.

to announce, as you said it, is that he is tapping into u.s. oil reserves. he's expected to release 50 million barrels. presidents have only released this supply a handful of times in recent decades. so the big question, when are americans as they are about to head out for this thanksgiving holiday going to feel this at the pump? well, experts say news of the announcement today alone is likely to be enough to prompt a short-term drop in oil prices. but the reality, it will take about two weeks for it to enter the market and for stations around the country to drop their prices. the white house, george, this morning, they are saying the economy is a top priority for this president. >> yeah, they want to get that inflation under control. cecilia, thanks very much. robin? george, we turn to a judge in florida posthumously exonerating four black men who were falsely accused of raping a white woman in 1949. the families of the four men, earnest thomas, charles greenlee, samuel shepherd and

[ cheers and applause ] welcome back to "gma." what a dynamite dance from our finalists choreographed by emma slater and if you want to see more of her dancing with some of your other favorite pros, you need to check out the "dancing with the stars" tour that kicks off in january. but right now, right here we are so excited to chat with our winners and finalists just ahead. but first, michael, back to you. >> fotoha we want to turn now to our "gma" cover story and the dramatic new documentary giving a new glimpse into prince harry and prince william's relationship and maggie rulli has the latest from london. good morning, maggie. >> reporter: hey, michael. good morning. this documentary is pulling back the curtain on not only how the palace operates but also how it operates with the press, michael. these are the kind of inner workings we rarely get to see and not everyone is happy about it. this morning, a look into the

royal rift between princes harry and william. the first episode of the two-part bbc documentary, "the princes and the press," largely detailing the growing interest and intense media coverage surrounding william and harry from the queen's diamond jubilee in 2012 to the sussexes' wedding in 2018. >> william and harry's relationship with the media was formed from their childhood and experiences with their mother's relationship with the media and that has absolutely shaped everything about how they both see the media. but we've seen as they both get older how that's manifested itself in different ways and the different paths they have taken. >> reporter: featuring a range of uk journalists claiming there was an unspoken deal between the royals and the press and the access they granted reporters for positive coverage. >> the media particularly the tabloids are like a puppy. they will roll over and let you tickle their tummy for awhile but eventually they'll bite you. >> reporter: but that deal changing over the years with harry's growing hatred of the media and claims of william and

kate failing to play the game. >>aphethat wa't giving them the best shot. she was using her hair to hide her face. >> reporter: former private investigator once hired by british tabloids said he and the press had been ruthless in their pursuit of the princes. some reporters accused of hacking into the royals' cell phones dubbing harry in the early 2000s as the new diana. >> basically was part of a group of people that robbed him of his normal teenage years. >> reporter: the documentary also diving into the rift between the brothers and the newly divided households and headlines of megan being duchess difficult. >> what was interesting and what did emerge from the documentary was this idea of a build-up of whispers that had been going on for sometime before critical stories were published about the fact that things were not all well. >> reporter: just hours before the documentary hit uk airwaves prince william keeping calm and carrying on duties appearing at a royal event honoring wildlife conservationists.

the royal household representing the queen, prince charles and prince william releasing a joint statement to the bbc saying a free, responsible and open press is a vital importance to a healthy democracy. however, too often overblown and unfounded claims from unnamed sources are presented as facts and it is disappointing when anyone, including the bbc, gives them creditability. the palace has given no new comments since the documentary aired and prince harry and meghan have not responded to our request for a comment either. now all eyes, guys, are on next week when part two is supposed to air. it's promising to dive into all the drama from the past three years including harry and meghan's exit from royal life and it says it's going to hold nothing back. george? >> maggie rulli, thanks very much. black friday deals time and becky worley in the studio. all about the '90s today. >> all about the '90s because we're going back to that show "pop-up video" on vh1. we'll feature on pop-up savings
