you are in "the faulkner focus". i'm in for harris today. 39-year-old darrell brooks made his first court appearance yesterday. prosecutors charged him with five counts of first degree intentional homicide and another charge is on the way because a sixth victim, an 8-year-old boy, has now died. some critics are also questioning why the court set a bail at all given the nature of the crime and brooks' decades long criminal history. dan bongino needs the left needs to face reality. >> it's a crappy bumper sticker. that's what this is. tolerance, bail reform, defund the police. when the bumper sticker becomes reality, sean, the body bags start piling up. how many body bags are you willing to tolerate before you finally admit that you are worshipping a bunch of golden cavs? >> kat is here to react. mike tobin is live in waukesha at this hour. >> the waukesha county district attorney promised daily would be set high enough that darrell brooks wouldn't get out again and that's why we see the number $5 million bails. he appeared in waukesha

faulkner focus". i'm molly line in for harris, the "washington post" reporting that democratic allies are pressing the white house to focus more and say more on inflation worries as americans encounter what many experts say is the most expensive thanksgiving holiday ever. and they warn inflation will last well into next year. but president biden who is spending his holiday weekend as a billionaire's home had this message when he dialed up nbc's al roker during the macy's thanksgiving day parade. >> what is in your message this day? >> after two years we're back. america is back and nothing we're unable to overcome, al. >> republicans like jim jordan said the president couldn't be more tone deaf to what his policies are doing to americans. >> you want to buy a home or rent and apartment or put food on the table and gas in your car costs more and thanksgiving turkey and christmas presses all cost more. what they are doing to the prices of goods and services have to be intentional with their crazy spending and putting tax increases busting their butts with people trying to help their families. >> jeff va

faulkner focus". i'm martha maccallum in for harris today. the house passed this bill, the vote was 220-213. a seven-vote spread. not a single republican who signed on for this bill. one democrat golden of a very purple district in maine voted no on this one. congressional budget office projects the build back better act will add $367 billion to the deficit over 10 years. although there is a lot of discussion about whether or not that number is even high enough. if the democrats get the i.r.s. to crack down on tax enforcement, the cbo predicts additional revenue won't be enough to make up the difference. we'll talk about who will end up making up the difference most likely. the white house disputes that. they claim the package will actually lower the deficit by $112 billion. minority leader kevin mccarthy torched this bill in a record-breaking 8 1/2 hour speech. watch. >> this is the single most reckless and irresponsible spending bill in our nation's history. every page of all this new washington spending will be paid for or borrowed from you, the american hard working taxpayer. and every p

this is "the faulkner focus", i'm martha maccallum in today for harris. as we've watched over recent days we know the death that was part of this horrific attack that took the lives of five people, four women and one elderly man, 48 others were injured. many of those are children. several are still in critical condition in the hospital right now. police say they'll charge 39-year-old darrell brooks, who you see on your screen right now, with five counts. the counts will be first degree intentional homicide. and when that happens it will sadly be another notch on his really extensive 50-page long rap sheet. brooks was facing several felony charges when the walk d.a.'s office released him on a $1,000 bond just two days before the parade. now that looks like a bad decision in retrospect. the same office also freed him on $500 bond earlier about one year earlier. so wisconsin senator ron johnson looking into this man's background says the situation surrounding him is simply unacceptable. >> you have crime now spilling over from high crime regions into communi
