times to lz granderson, and -- anderson, a former trump campaign advisor. thank you all for being here. jessica, i want to start with you. how did this happen? the secret service did not notice this, what was going on? >> that's the question, right? because he gets 24-hour protection at his home. and to wake up and there is this person wandering around the hall, that secret service was unaware of, seems like a real breach in the protocol they are, and is quite surprising. as you can imagine, secret service is now trying to get to the bottom of this to figure out exactly how this happened. i think it's important to note too that we are not sure that this intruder even knew that it was jake sullivan's house. and when we are talking about these different incidents i think we have to kind of, appreciate that they are on the spectrum. >> right. >> some people may have known who they were targeting, as it appears, at this moment, maybe -- just an intoxicated person running around. but, again, how did they get in the house without secret service noticing? >> it's

so, let's bring in my panel, we have republican pollster lee carter, one of my work husband, lz granderson. >> one of? >> joey is another one, you know, so i am a polygamist as work and old friend semiconductor barry, the editor in chief of "glamour" magazine and another one of my work husbands cnn legal analyst joey jackson regardless of what your real spouses have to say about any of that. lz, i was sea taken by your column today in the "l.a. times" about this chokehold death. it was eye opening, because you point out that everybody says, jordan neely needed help, jordan needed help. you pointed out, he got help. i want to read the passage from your column. ten years ago he admitted himself after telling police officers he was hearing voices. three years later, police brought him to the hospital because he was suicidal. neely was on new york city's short top 50 list of homeless people in serious need of care. neely received aid from the bowery residence committee. he got help. just not the kind that might have saved his life. so what would have been the answer? >> well, i think in this c

for another perspective, i'm joined by lz granderson, columnist for the la times.to see you. it should say, you are also a veteran sports journalist and you have reported for years on professional sports' move toward more inclusivity of gay athletes. did the dodgers strike out on this one? at least initially? lz: using their own words, yes. i had an interview with the president of the dodgers and he said they made a mistake, and he explained why. they are an organization that have done the celebrations for 10 years without any hitch. this year, they had a pitch and they didn't know what to do and they panicked. they had meetings with the community, the lgbtq+ community, and they decided to re-invite them. returning back to their overall theme which is the organization supports the community. stephanie: what was the original sin, so to speak, by the daughters, in your view? was it rescinding the invitation? ? at what point did they go wrong? lz: i think they went wrong assuming they could out write the -- they could operate the same they have for the last 10 years.

we're back with john avlon, lz granderson, -- scott, jennings and makayla hughes.ds so similar, scott. do you agree that whatever the u.s. is doing, or has done in the past few weeks, is not working to stop mass shootings, and in fact, are increasing? >> yeah, i mean, obviously there are people who are at a minimum need for the review, that are getting their hands on guns. this actually reminds me, a few years ago in texas, there was a shooting of a former military member, i think he was in the air force, and yet some issues there. and that information did not get transferred to the database. and he wound up, was that the church shooting may be. so, similar, deal where you've got a guy who clearly had mental health flag somewhere that never made it into a system that wouldn't picked up by a background check. and when i hear republicans say, look, we need to focus on mental health, we need make sure those things get flagged, obviously, this guy had a mental health flag. so, that's what jumped out to me about this one. >> so, scott, i'm just thinking with you, becaus
