the last post arthur made it was october 29th. it was a picture of pool tables, a billiard. all he had his own cues for as long as i can remember. it brought ham relaxation. he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders with grace. that was his time to unwind. it was something he and his dad did together. it was a bonding thing for them. >> that was a friend who knew arthur strout. remember, there were 18 victims here. that's one we haven't had a chance to learn a whole lot about. that also speaks to the sheer number and size of the people who died. they left behind a legacy. you can see this memorial behind me. we are outside of the bowling alley. this has continued to grow. that is arthur strout on your screen. this memorial continues to grow, especially since the suspect was caught. we talked about this new phase here. i will add on the end of this

year, people here are saying this is the first time they've been able to process the grief. tonight, we have another vigil in the community for the first time which is able to rally around together in person. yasmin? >> thank you. we have a lot more coming up. you are watching msnbc. our second hour starts right now. i asked me to see again. if you're just joining us, welcome. if you're sticking with us, we are thankful for that. we are alive on the ground in israel as the next phase of the war on hamas includes a stepped up bombing effort in gaza. a large part of the area had already been leveled. remaining residents are pleading for help. >> aid workers and civilians need to be able to communicate. journalists need to be able to document what is happening in gaza to report it to the wider world. that's something we worked on. we are glad to see that

restoration. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in damage control mode, backtracking after criticism of his own troops. high drama is expected in a manhattan courtroom this weekend as donald trump's children get ready to take the stand in his fraud trial. mike pence called it quits. it's a question of who he will endorse and whether it will mean anything given his paltry poll numbers. maga mike, the extreme views of new speaker maya johnson and what it means for a house in disarray. all of that plus the news, millions of fans around the world. >> [inaudible] shut up! shut up! shut up! >> friends star matthew perry founded of an apparent drowning at his home. we are going to have the latest on what happened and his police in television history. that's later on this hour as well. we want to begin the latest in the middle east. as israel stepped up his attack on gaza, the idf claimed it has

struck 450 hamas targets. nbc news is unable to verify those claims. human rights groups continue to raise the alarm over the humanitarian crisis inside gaza. palestinian health officials say 1000 people in gaza have died, including over 3000 children. concerns of a regional escalation are growing as israel continues to exchange fire with hezbollah and lebanon. iran's president now says israel's actions have crossed, quote, red lines which could force everyone to take action. i want to bring in jay gray who was on the ground in tel aviv to talk more about all of this. give us the latest, if you will, on this second day, i would say, of this new phase of the war. i know we heard from the prime minister and his defense minister as well yesterday. along with the ongoing negotiations for the release of the hostages -- >> yeah, let's start with that ground assault. it continues. according to the idf, it's expanding at this point.

they say they are moving more into gaza and establishing a defensive line there. there are reports that idea of soldiers have taken control of some small villages across the gaza border. they continue to run airstrikes strategically. the israeli navy has been a part of the new phase of aggression there. they are firing and have really been in doing some damage to structures along the coastline in gaza. it is a three pronged attack and won the benjamin yet now who has said is going to be long and difficult. we are not talking long in a matter of weeks, but months. that's continuing. we know that the prime minister,

benjamin netanyahu, the president as well as israeli defense force commanders have talked today with the families of hostages. the hostages remain. they have up to the number of known hostages now in gaza to close to 240 at this point. negotiations continue on the hour, we are told by the white house. they are in constant communication both with intermediaries in qatar as well as people within the israeli government. what they are saying in qatar's things have become more difficult as a result of the stepped up attacks in gaza. that is something they are having to deal with. humanitarian aid -- we know that the idf has said that this should be, things should begin to flow more freely across the border with egypt. the one thing they are not

carrying, yasmin, is fuel. fuel has become so desperately vital to the hostages there. we know that there are ambulance services which say they are completely out of fuel. they can't run ambulances anymore. they cannot take the injured to hospitals. fuel is going to be a key turning point in helping humanitarian aid actually do some good inside of gaza. what israel has said from the beginning, and they have not wavered on this, is that there will be no fuel moving into gaza as long as they are there. >> jay gray for us, thank you. we appreciate it. please stay safe while you are there. i want to bring in retired as a moral -- chief international analyst to talk more about all of this. it's great to talk to you as always about this stuff. i want to walk through a few different things. i want to talk first, if we can, as we are in this next phase of the war, what happens to troops,

to the israeli defense forces specifically, when you are asking them to put their lives on the ground to defend the lives of israelis and yet you have a prime minister who is tweeting out and then deleting hours later criticism of his own intelligence services, shifting blame away from his self. many people are saying domestically inside israel this is only the beginning of the end for prime minister benjamin netanyahu? >> combat troops, having commanded them, having been in combat myself, they tend to pretty will block that stuff out. they are very focused on their mission. they are deeply concerned about the soldiers to the left and to the right of them. they want to conduct these operations. they know they have to give a total focus. they are not thinking about israeli politics. they are thinking about, how am

i going to contribute to this mission? yasmin, i think what is occurring now, and you are absolutely correct, this is really a new phase. it's not a shock with tens of thousands of troops grinding in. it's a very much methodical, step-by-step. it's being done from all i can see with care to minimize collateral damage, knowing there will probably be some. look for a very steady but not flashy kind of phase in the military operation. the final thought here, you are absolutely correct. these precision guided airstrikes are continuing. i would make the point that the most precision guided thing on a battlefield is going to be the foot soldier, the human brain that comes into it that knows not to shoot the elderly lady but instead is going to make the right, our decision.

bottom line, these is really troops are very focused on that mission. they will do a good job, i think. >> i wonder how they are going to judge success and the next phase of the war if their objective is to, quote unquote, eradicate hamas. we when i know that hamas is not just a group of fighters. it began as a movement. how do you eradicate hamas especially with this much lead time? how do you judge when you have successfully carried out that mission and the time has come to that pull out? >> this is the smartest question. believe me, the israeli defense forces in that entire war cabinet, including my good friend benny gantz who is essentially the number two in that war cabinet, that's what they are wrestling with right now. i think, to answer the question, they will start by taking away

all of the weapons of war. they will take away all of the ammunition, the command and control, the underground bunkers. they will go through and clear the material and then, secondly, they will try to capture or eliminate as much of the upper echelon of hamas as they can. they have very good intelligence on the organization. they will be using everything from eye cans to fingerprints to when they capture someone or find something who has been eliminated, they will gradually window the people in the organization. you are absolutely correct, yasmin. to eliminates it, two and hamas is the work of a generation. what you can do is take away some of the leadership and a lot of the material. i think the israelis will know that point when it occurs. it's going to be not in years, not in weeks. going to beit's going to be mo. it's going to be that kind of

campaign. >> we've already seen this growing humanitarian crisis in gaza. what are palestinians facing in gaza right now? it's unbelievable to even imagine. the numbers are staggering. 8000, we are getting reports in, of people that have died in this three-week-long war, 3000 of them are children. >> i know. >> babies. how do you minimize civilian casualties in a war like this one with a dense population like they have in gaza considering so many people have already died, so many families have been torn apart? >> no easy answers here. i will give you three things that are crucial. number one is getting the aid, the medicines, the capability to keep people alive into southern gaza. opening those corridors, no attacks in that area, getting

the trucks in. by my estimate, you need probably 100 trucks a day to support that 2 million person population, 40, 50 good but not enough. aid to support and protection in that southern part of gaza. number two, get the people out of northern gaza where the operations are focused. get them safe passage routes that you can guarantee to the south, no strikes, no bombings. use all of your means to ensure that the flow is going. as we talked about, apply lethal force when absolutely necessary. noah gratuitous bombing, no bombing simply to create havoc. having said all that, this tragedy will continue to unfold. we all need to talk to our

israeli partners and saying, do all you can to minimize this and do all you can to allow aid to flow into this extremely horrific humanitarian situation. >> admiral james stavridis, thank, you sir. coming up, a family affair in a manhattan courtroom this week as donald trump's children are set to take the stand in his fraud trial. we are going to have a preview of that next. later on this hour, what we are learning about the sudden and shocking death of friends are matthew perry in his own. we will be right back. matthew perry in his own we will be right back. we will be right back. . ♪ centrum silver is now clinically shown to support cognitive health in older adults. it's one more step towards taking charge of your health. so every day, you can say, ♪ youuu did it! ♪ with centrum silver. it ain't my dad's razor, dad. ay watch it! it's from gillettelabs. this green bar releases trapped hairs from my face... gamechanga! ...while the flexdisc contours to it. so the five blades can get virtually every hair in one stroke. for the ultimate gillette shaving experience. the best a man can get is gillettelabs.

federal prosecutor msnbc legal analyst -- to talk more about this. this case, glenn, as we all know at this point, the judge has essentially already said this was a massive business fraud committed by the former president, donald trump. you have said, because of that ruling from this judge, there is a real risk for perjury here. what are you going to be looking at when it comes to the testimony from the former presidents children? >> hey, yasmin it's perilous that trump's adult children and trump himself will be testifying after, as you said, judge and gore on has already ruled that there was massive business for fraud. he ruled against the trump and in favor of the case brought by new york attorney general letitia james. one of the -- more than 50 years, ago the supreme court famously said that cross-examination is the greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of the truth. i think don junior, eric, ivanka, and eventually donald trump himself are going to

learn that lesson the hard way. think about it. they are going to be asked about the business practices that engoron has already found were fraudulent. they can try to deflect, they can try to feign lost memory, they can deceive. if they do so and if they lie about something which is material to an issue in dispute, that's the magic language for the charge of perjury, they could be looking at a perjury charge. will new york attorney general tissue james choose to go that way if she finds false testimony? we don't know. as i said, this is really perilous terrain. >> november 6th is when we are going to hear from the former president on the stand. can he get out of that? can he plead the fifth as he has before in depositions? >> he probably cannot get out of it. it looks like judge engoron has been a strict task master.

ivanka try to get out of testifying. he ruled no. she will personally appear in my courtroom. can he plead the fifth? here is the prevailing wisdom. if you waive your fifth amendment right during a deposition, you can be compelled to basically repeat that testimony because, once waved, it's ordinarily always waived for that subject matter. it's an open question about whether donald trump will feel the heat and will have to fall back on the fifth amendment right against self incrimination. we will know soon enough in a little over a week. >> we've got a glimpse of what it would be like with donald trump on the stand. he essentially abruptly left and was being questioned briefly by judge engoron about comments he made outside the courtroom that were targeted, it seemed, at his law clerk. i want to play for you some sound from michael cohen, talking about his first encounter with his former boss in five years and the demeanor in which michael cohen saw the

former president having. >> he slams his hands on the table. he jumps up, secret service jumps up after him. he makes a whole march to go outside. this is not clearly presidential. could you imagine? this is only a new york attorney general civil matter. could you imagine if, hypothetically, right now he had to deal with a foreign nation with all that is going on in the country right now in the world? could you imagine this is the guy who's going to represent us? >> glenn? >> you know, nothing donald trump says or does signals confidence. it signals desperation. i think this reinforces the need to have cameras in the courtroom. trump comes out on every break and launches into what i call his hallway lies, providing misinformation about what had gone on in the courtroom. it's good that we have cameras

down in georgia. hopefully, we may get there in federal prosecutions. it would sure be nice if the american people could see for themselves and assess the credibility of donald trump as he testifies. >> glenn kirschner, thank you. still ahead, everybody. newly elected house speaker mike johnson announces plans to introduce federal funding for israel but not ukraine. mike prince drops out of the 2024 race and his former boss who has disparaged him since leaving office now wants his support. g of fice now wants his >> i had a great successful presidency. he was the vice president. he should not embarrass me. i chose him, made him vice president, but people in politics can be very disloyal. i've never seen anything like it. yal. i've never seen anything lik it it

israel on the table. it has come as democratic lawmakers have expressed concerns about president biden's approach to the war. one representative had this to say on meet the press. >> the american people are actually quite far away from where the president and even congress, the majority of congress has been on israel and gaza. they don't support a war crime exchange for another war crime. i think the president has to be careful about the. >> joining me now is nbc's julie tsirkin to talk more about all of this, this upcoming vote. what do we know about the house call today, what was talked about? when can we expect this vote for israel aid? important to note here, leaving out aid for ukraine. >>, yasmin. two sources who will be on that call today tell me that it is happening, that it is expected to include a lot of conversations, a lot of topics. this is the first time, you are

right, that the full republican conference in the house will get a chance to gather, get on the same page. there is much to get on the same page about from government funding, which is around the corner, that deadline, and that vote is relayed, stand-alone vote which speaker mike johnson confirmed will happen today on fox news. that vote is expected not sooner than wednesday because that is when republicans and the rest of the house will come back into session. you are right. it will not include funding to ukraine which, of course, is such a priority for democrats, not only in the white house that sent out this paired request, not only for ukraine and israel to be time, but also the billions in humanitarian assistance which, at this point, it's not clear whether the house plans to take that out in addition to the 14 and a half billion dollars to israel. for democrats and progressives like primala jayapal, that is important, not just sending the military aid, but also paying attention to the humanitarian situation unfolding in the middle east. regardless of what the house

does on this aid this week, that's not the end all be all. there is a whole other chamber controlled by democrats, the senate. they want to continue to see all of these items paired. my sources that i spoke to told me that they could potentially add the ukraine provisions when the bill comes to the senate. they could also add those border security provisions that we all keep talking about, republicans meeting behind closed doors to try to craft some policy when it comes to that. all of this is really still alive. it's clear, as we heard from speaker johnson, it's important for him to make this mark on israel, one of the first votes, i should note, when he was sworn in as speake was a surprise -- it's very clear what johnson is trying to do here. another pickle which could potentially tie all of this up, we have a new speaker but we are in the same polic mess we always were. yasmin, the fact the johnson says he wants this aid, including the aid to israel, to be paid for. he also wants spending cuts in the future, potentially in different areas of the budget. all of this could still be tied

to government funding in one way or another. we can see if they can begin to unravel some of that among republicans on the call tonight. >> julie tsirkin for, us thank, you julie. we appreciate it. recall following breaking news out of tampa. we have more information now from moments ago. police are providing new details on a fatal overnight shooting, saying they have arrested a suspect. tyrese stephen phillips, the 22 year old, has been charged with second degree murder with a firearm. they confirmed that two people were killed. the two people that were killed or a 14 year old and a 22 year old. 16 others were injured. police say they are also looking at, quote, potential other shooters involved, adding that you handguns were used including one that was stolen. officials are urging anyone with information to contact law enforcement. up next, with mike pence's departure from the 2024 presidential race, what does this mean for the remaining candidates and friends friends around the world mourning the death of matthew perry. around the world mourning th death of matthew perry >> i just finished his book

everybody. former vice president pence has officially called off his campaign to beat republican nominee for president. all as his former boss, donald trump, remains at the top of

the, field little science that any remaining candidates could actually oppose the real threat to him. i wanna bring in sara dean, msnbc news -- live from las vegas. sarah, thanks for joining, us and i always appreciate it. was there any sense, this announcement was coming down the pipe, now that it is, now that has it has been made, we know what the future looks like for from former vice president, within this election cycle. what are folks saying about it? >> yasmin, mike pence made the announcement, shockingly, onstage, at the republican jewish coalition annual summit, and event that all the candidates were speaking at. and, the room was absolutely shocked, including event open organizers, including myself, that is covered the campaign for months. the writing i've been on the wall, that the campaign was slowing down. they hadn't reached that 70,000 unique donor fresh old yet for the next debate. but even the campaign itself, had been -- next week, as recently as this past thursday. so, it was definitely an abrupt

decision, and what made all the more shocking in the room, was the fact that mike pence had been halfway through a speech about israel. just like all of the other candidates had, he took the stage, he spoke about the war in israel, his foreign policy stances, it was shaping up to be a very standard speech for the campaign. and then about a little bit over ten minutes in, he pivoted, and made the announcement that he was suspending his campaign, and dropping out of the race. so, it was definitely shocking to everyone, yasmin. and as far as the other candidates, they have all expressed support, gratitude, well wishes to former vice president mike pence and his family, with the exception of his former running mate, former president donald trump. he spoke at a -- event right here in las vegas last night. and here is what he had to say, about his former running mate. >> i don't know about mike pence, he should endorse me. he should endorse me. you know? i because, because i had a great successful presidency, and he was the vice president,

he should endorsed me. i chose him, made him the vice president. but people, people in politics can be very disloyal, i've never seen anything like it. >>. and, an audience member, when former president donald trump mentioned mike pence's name, an audience member shouted out the word traitor. and that is really indicative of the uphill battle that pence was facing with this gop primary voter base, that has really just still very large had been behind the former president, yasmin. >> all right, sara dean for, us thank you, appreciate it. i want to bring in simone sanders townsend, host of symone right here on msnbc, starting in about, if i do the math right what, 20 minutes or. so >> yeah a little. bit >> immigrate on the fly with that. [laughter] that's why i'm in journalism. to talk more about this. let's talk about mike pence, right. the news broke yesterday, he was polling around 3.8%, the former president was pulling almost 60%, at this point right. nikki haley and ron desantis, are the only two above pence.

it is going to make any ripples at all, him dropping out? >> i don't think it's going to make a difference in the race. because mike pence never garnered a substantial following, if you will, behind him. he was never a threat to donald trump in this race. i do think it makes a difference, in terms of the conversation that is being had. you know, i was reading some articles about these postmortems now, and at the beginning the campaign, everyone wanted to write about how it went wrong. and, there's lots of talk with the fact that mike pence was not necessarily running to win iowa, but to cement his legacy. and, regardless of where folks come down on that, i do think that what he was saying, the fact that mike pence was willing to stand up to donald trump when it came to january 6th, that he did his job and he wasn't afraid, finally, mike pence found a backbone to get out there and talk about. i think that is very important for our democracy. >> it is interesting though, because we've seen so many folks do, that and then double back. the lindsay grams of the world,

the people who stood up on january 6th after the insurrection right, and said this is on president trump, at the time. and then, they double back, obviously went golfing with him and went on to support him. do you think there is any chance we could see a pence endorsement? >> i would, one i wouldn't know, i haven't talked to the pence people yet. [laughter] but, if he wants to really cement his legacy, and he did this whole campaign and did all of the things, and was willing to go out there and go against what he knows the base of the boat -- i don't see why he would. but, stranger things have happened. >> i want to talk about mike johnson, the new speaker of the house. a lot of folks, when he was elected just last, week essentially were like, who is mike johnson. he's got some pretty extreme right-wing conservative, use when it comes to lgbtq rights, when it comes to abortion as well. we could go on and on. we got into it last hour, as well. tim miller, writes this. for decades, the gop ran ads in purple districts, about pelosi

nsf values. they are about to experience the reverse. nobody knows this guy, so voters in biden districts will be introduced to him as a coup organizer, who wants no exceptions for abortion, and thinks being gay is bad. how dangerous of a choice for speaker, could mike johnson be for republicans, and for the house, which is in disarray right now? >> yes, disarray when it comes to the. putting >> it lightly. >> i think this is very dangerous for republicans. it is my understanding that basically, republicans were tired, they were embarrassed, this had gone on for three weeks. mike johnson, find, nobody knows him, he is likable, enough mild mannered, a little milquetoast, let's give it to him. even folks that said that they would not support jim jordan, like congressman ken buck, he wouldn't support jim jordan for speaker, because jim jordan wasn't willing to say that donald trump lost the election and joe biden won it. well hello, michael johnson who is now the new speaker the, house was a coup organizer. he was helping lead the charge,

in terms of the fake electors as well. so, i think what they have done is, they really put the nail in the coffin, as it relates to just, the really competitiveness, if you will, of 2024. every member of the house is up for reelection in 2024. and, democrats, if they had their wits about, them the democratic congressional campaign committee should be cutting ads for all of those 18 republicans that sit in districts, saying these folks voted for mike johnson, this is who they support. and, mike johnson is. maga >> i keep wondering, and scratching my head of this was kind of a sneaky track for the right-wing supreme caucus with mike johnson, right. because you knew jim zorn's record, everybody knows what jim jordan was about, and who we should. with and they didn't necessarily know that about mike johnson. so, was this the plan all? along >> i know, i don't know. i think that there was chaos, confusion, exhaustion. and, people wanted to go. home >> symone sanders-townsend, thank. you >> good to see you in person. >> yes, i love you. >> how awesome is this. by the way, make sure to catch symone. she is coming up now, now in 21

teeth sensitivity is so common. it immediately feels like somebody's poking directly on the nerve. i recommend sensodyne. sensodyne toothpaste goes inside the tooth and calms the nerve down. and my patients say you know doc, it really works. all right, israeli defense forces are saying they have struck a number of military

targets belonging to hezbollah and lebanon. they say it is in response to rockets and missiles fired from lebanon, in northern israel. it is coming as new video appears to show the leader of hezbollah making his first appearance, since the october 7th attack. i want to bring in msnbc's matt bradley in lebanon, to talk more about this. walk us, through if you will, just the sort of ominous video, that we are getting from hezbollah. and, the potential for this conflict to expand beyond the borders of gaza and israel. >> yeah, it's a great question. i don't want to make too much out of this video, because actually it wasn't published by the party itself. we heard it was propagated by a -- as well as the revered leader of hezbollah, and some other supporters. and you know, this came from accounts that were sort of adjacent to hezbollah. but it does show, for the first time he has a, and an image of a man, who could be -- we are seeing him from the back. again, we are ten seconds, we are seeing on your screen right, now walking in front of a

hezbollah flak. now, why is this interesting? it's not entirely clear what it is, but it is the first and we are seeing him in live action. we got a photo of him just last week, showing him sitting with other leaders of the so-called access of resistance, those groups that are backed, and in many ways beholden to iran like hezbollah, like hamas. we also saw a leader of palestinian islamic jihad in that group, and it looked like they were having some kind of deliberations, of what to do next. and that is the question everybody here is asking, in lebanon and further afield, what is hezbollah going to be doing next? we have even heard from some hamas, leaders with some very mild careful complaints of the last several weeks, wondering why hezbollah hasn't thrown themselves into this, more in defense of hamas, fighting against israel just as israel moves into the gaza strip. so, these are questions a lot of folks here want to know, because they are really worried that haslett could drag this nation into yet a now they're massively destructive war, after the one in 2006 really, nearly brought lebanon to its knees. but, i am also seeing right

here, some real live action behind me. not just on video, we are seeing over the, stretch this is where the israeli border. is and we have been hearing and actually feeling, as i told you in the last hour, some of the concussive blasts that we have been getting from incoming and outgoing fire, the trading a fire between hezbollah and the israelis. now, this is very troubling. we've been seeing this for the past three weeks, we have been hearing from our position here in lebanon. but we have also been hearing this increase in tempo, and velocity. just today early, we really saw what looked like some of the biggest volleys we have seen. i'm not going to say it was the most violent day that we have seen so far. but, there was also unifil, which is the u.n. force on the border. they said that one of their personnel went a blast, when a projectile landed around in there, area which is that they have a base right off in the quarter which, is right down there, right near the border of israel. so clearly, things are heating up. we also saw the city of khiry of -- which was just evacuated more than ten days ago, which is in

israel. that took a strike, apparently from hezbollah. that city of course had no people and had been evacuated. but it looks as though, hezbollah is expanding its zone of attack, deeper into israel. that is just the kind of thing that can cause what is already been a major fight, not nearly what we are seeing in gaza or in israel, but a major conflict turned into a wild war, the kind of thing that nobody can control. because so far, there is a sort of -- modus operandi. there is an understood, unstated means of fighting here, that both sides of silver been sticking to the past three weeks. but that could change at anytime. if they got a signal from iran, their main benefactor, or have from kherson mullah, the man whose back we are seeing on that video. today that could change this, that could change the calculation for the entire region. that could drag the u.s. into. or because, again we are now seeing that there are not one, but two aircraft strike groups off the coast of israel, waiting to see if this -- so that is why this is such a

dangerous. oh >> yeah, bradley forest, thank you, we appreciate. and, next to put then perspective. still ahead everybody, a look at matthew perry's lasting legacy, in the entertainment world and beyond. as we mourn the loss of one of the most beloved characters, on television. okay >> hypothetically, why would i wanna be married when i'm? 40 >> no, no. >> no what is it, seriously? is there something fundamentally and marriott about me? >> well. >> dear god, this parachute is -- [laughter] -- [laughter]

stars post anything, or give any public reaction. but we have received a statement from the creators of the sh, -- and david -- plus the executive producer, kevin right. they write quote, we are shocked, and deeply, deeply saddened by our beloved friend matthew's passing. it still seems impossible. all we can say is that we feel blessed to have had him, as part of our lives. ey add, we send all of our love to his family and friends. this role is the one, where our hearts are broken. and fans know that episodes are titled the one where the one with the one how dot dot dot. so clearly, a hamas to the show, and that legendary character, chandler being, that he personified, noted as one of the most genius comedic roles on television. we have seen several friends show up to the friends apartment in new york. last night, people left flowers and candles. and they just wanted to be surrounded by one another, here

in pacific -- the los angeles area, several fans have also shown about side his home. we spoke with one of them earlier today. listen. >> i just want to pay my respects to somebody that has gotten me through, just from a lot of comments i've seen, and myself included you know, that show helps people get through tough times. and, there is always laughter through tears. but, this time there's a little bit more tears through the laughter. >> and i think she pretty much sums up how a lot of people are feeling, many still watch that show to this day. it is something that keeps them going, it is something that is a little levity, in the heaviness that is going on in society right now. i know yasmin, you are a fan. and i think for people who watch these shows, the friends show. even though matthew perry is gone, his ability to make us laugh will live on, and he will be greatly missed. >> yeah such a huge fan.

dana griffin for us, thank you so much. i want to bring in chris witherspoon, an msnbc entertainment contributor and ceo of -- entertainment app, to talk more about this. chris, thanks for joining us on this. matthew perry was in every single episode of friends, spanning over ten seasons. he was young, this is such an incredibly tragic loss, for the entertainment community, and it seems as well, because he wasn't done. and, he admitted that so much of his life was taken up by his addiction. >> yeah totally. i think what is really bittersweet about this, this death, is that towards the end of matthew perry's, life he began to use his life as a lesson, as you mentioned, he was in 200 plus episodes of, making 2 million per episode toward the end of his time on that show. but also, he battled these demons. and i think about the memoir he

released last year. >>. he >> had a really great view, we talked about the opening of his mental, our high, my friends call me matty. you might know by another name, but i should be dead. he felt that he had -- 6000 aa meetings, 30 years of therapy. but, the rainbow at the end of all of that was, he is still standing. he learned all of these lessons, and was able to go back and talk about who we saw him on friends, you saw some of these great scenes. sometimes, he was drunk, or he was on drugs, in a really bad way. but it's beautiful that he was able to kind of process and move through all of that pain. sure, his story used his life as a lesson. and unfortunately, in his untimely passing. >> so dana read some oth statement that was released by the creators of friends. i want to read a little bit more of that. from the day we first heard him embody the role of chandler being, there is no one else force. we will always cherish the joy, the light, the blinding intelligence he brought to every moment. not just to his work, but in life as well. he was always the funniest

person in the room. more than, that he was the sweetest, with a giving and selfless heart. how critical was matthew perry to the success of the show friends? >> you know, immensely critical. i think -- i have heard them both give interviews talk about how he was kind of that clue to the set. despite all that he was going through he would come to the set, he would improv, he would be silly, he would be goofy. but also, he would show up and be very professional. and that show. i mean, i look at that show and what it represented in the 90s, it's found a whole new audience. i think what's great about matthew perry, the entire cast. it's this young group of gen zers who are now discovering friends, they are obsessed with the fashion of it you know, the mom jeans that jennifer aniston's character war. but also, kind of reliving those great stories, and these scenarios that came to life in that show. and it's beautiful to hear is that not just the character chandler being that helped us with full of joy, but also beyond the lights, on the set, he was also doing that, in real

life. >> we talked about his struggle with his addictions, and how he was giving back. i believe, opening also a living facility for men in malibu. we spoke to a canadian journalist, about his addiction. and i want to take a listen to. that >> but i did work, extremely hung over. and you know, at one point i was shaking so much that if i was going to cross, if i was going to go to the bookshelf to the table, i would have to kind of quickly do it, and then put my hand on the table so i wouldn't shake. and you know, it got that that. but chandler never changed, the writing never changed, it was my ability to pull off with this addiction that i didn't understand. >> what is the legacy that

matthew perry leaves behind today? >> wow. i think that you can have your demons, you can have your battles, but you can also find your light. you can persevere, and more importantly you can -- bring others with. you i think about that clip you just played, there is another interview where he talked about the wedding scene with monica. he was being driven to rehab, every day, to come to the set, and film that scene. and there are so many scenes that brought so much joy and so much happiness to our lives. and he was going through a lot of pain. so, i think just standing in his power instead, standing in his truth is his legacy. >> chris witherspoon, thank you so much, appreciated, such an incredible incredible talent, who have watched him way too soon. that wraps up for me everybody. i'm asking the city, and i'm back in the chair next saturday, and sunday two pm eastern he will also see -- me and then as. well >> symone, starts right now. ll >> symone, starts right greetings everyone, you are
