Now, I know for a lot of you guys you probably saying like what the hell is happening But you know football is one of the biggest sports. I think might be is the biggest one worldwide, right? What are you talking about? But not here in America though football soccer

Football is by far the biggest sport not here in America as yet But they have a professional soccer squad or league and I go to the games all the time with my son I'm still learning a lot my son. He's a soccer lover like love soccer board in any sport He loves his players. He he's just that and he plays soccer I think like four times a week, but so we went to the game I'm still learning still things I don't understand but we're having an amazing time It was a great bonding moment and my of course my son's home from college. So it was just a great time But alright, well, let's get the show cracking.

Lin-Witfield will be joining us this morning. I think a lot of y'all watched The Shy over the weekend. So yes, Lin-Witfield, the legendary Lin-Witfield will be joining us today to talk about The Shy and other things. That's right, Shy Season 7. So we'll get into that. We got front page news next. Morgan's back and we'll talk to her next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV

Jesselari. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now yesterday NBA playoffs, the Thunderbeat, the Nuggets, 125-93. So OKC will be taking on Timberwolves. It's going to be a great series. Great series. And of course my next play on Wednesday against the Pacers. Has there been a trade that has benefited both teams the way that Knicks, Timberwolves trade benefited both teams? You know how they always say, oh, who won the trade, who won the trade? They both in the finals of their respective conferences.

That's true. That is true. What's up, Morgan? Hey, hey, hey, y'all. Hey, how y'all feeling? Welcome back. Good to be back. Yes. All right.

So first up on front page, let's get into it. Former president Biden, Joe Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. Now a spokesperson for the former president says the diagnosis came after doctors found a nodule on his prostate on Friday that required further evaluation. The cancer appears to be hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management. The statement said that the former president and his family are reviewing treatment options.

Now Biden has been back in the news of late combating allegations and news reports that his mental health has been on the decline. His wife, former first lady Jill Biden was on the view recently with her husband saying the allegations are false. She says she only saw her husband working nonstop. Now, former Vice President Kamala Harris, she stepped in and has a reaction in regards to what's going on with President Biden. She said that in a

post on X that both she and her husband Doug are saddened to learn of the news calling Biden a fighter who will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience and optimism that he has always defined in his life and leadership. Former President Obama also shared reactions saying that he and former first lady Michelle are thinking of the entire Biden family and praying for a fast and full recovery. Trump also shared well wishes. He wished a former President Biden a fast and full recovery. Trump also shared well wishes. He wished a former President Biden a fast and successful recovery following his prostate cancer diagnosis. Now Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Sunday

that both him and his wife were saddened by the news and they extend their warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family. Just sad news to hear for former President Biden. Now the American Cancer Society reports that five-year relative survival rate for men diagnosed with prostate cancer is about 97%. So with good treatment, he could, you know, be okay for the next few years.

Now during his administration- Well, it's also an old demand. Exactly. This next few years, what does that look like? This is true. This is true. And of course, during during his administration he launched the Cancer Moonshot Initiative in an effort to cut cancer deaths in half by 2047 in addition

to assisting those impacted by cancer. So this is pretty much what we know so far in regards to this story, but I will keep you guys posted as more details come available. I wonder how often do presidents get physicals? Because I wonder does it show up before it's aggressive or does it just pop up aggressive? First, you know a physical isn't gonna necessarily You know, you're not gonna necessarily find cancer in a physical that's that probably takes Extensive screening or you know further screening but a physical I believe our presidents at least have to have one or two a year Yeah, I'm just ask the prostate exams are so common Like I you know, I want to go get a physical last week and that's one of the things they

did. They actually drew my blood for the prostate exam. As soon as they said prostate exam, I was like, God dang it, I just had one of those last year. But they were like, no, we don't have to do that. Do it that way. Meaning they don't have to poke me. That's right.

And what Charlemagne said is, yeah, you can check prostate without, you know, actually using your finger. But they do blood every six months I thought for a president so I always wondered did they possibly know when he was in office and just didn't say anything or Really just found out now Hmm now that is not that is not that we are not we are not sure about that But I will definitely find out and figure that part out and bring that back to you guys Yes, I mean I know before he had a

He has some some form of cancer removed from his chest. I know before a couple years It was like a skin cancer that was removed from his chest a couple of years ago All right guys so switching gears you guys have some tragic news in New York the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating after a tall ship hit the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday. An NTSB Go team is coming to New York after a historic Mexican Navy training vessel apparently lost power and struck the underside of the bridge shearing off the tops of its three wooden mast. Two crew members were killed and 19 others or more were injured who were aboard that ship. Now spectators gathered to see this massive ship and many of them, you know, were filming the incident when it occurred.

Let's take a listen to some of that audio. This is about a crash. Oh ****. Jesus. So there were over 250 aboard and in a search and rescue operation was underway to pull people out of the water. One of the ships, 100 Fort. Okay. We talked about the mass now.

This happened. Okay. Yeah. The bridge over the East River has been reportedly open after city officials determined that it suffered no structural, serious structural damage from that crash. Now Mexico's president Claudia Scheinbaum, she said she's saddened by the deadly crash of the Mexican Navy ship in New York's East River. So again, this is one of those stories that I will continue to keep you guys posted and see what happens.

Fox News does report that Mexican naval cadet, America America Sanchez has been identified as one of the deceased. So thoughts and prayers to her family in this sad time. Absolutely. All right. Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Morgan. Thank you. Talk to y'all at seven. All right. And everybody else get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

So you ain't got no faith in your nicks? None of my nicks are gonna whack your faces though. I know that much. All right, so I'm super annoyed with some of the men I've run across that are blaming Cassie, saying that she wanted it, and even some of the women. I've dated women that have been sexually assaulted. I see women that have been sexually assaulted.

I've mentored kids that have been assaulted. They go back. This ain't even about the Stockholm syndrome. There's something else that I think about when it comes to Cassie. Call it the electric complex, where sometimes women actually date the men who they think their father is

or want their father to be. So it's just, it's crazy, because we're blaming her in its totality. She was abused and everybody's ignoring it. So that's all I got man since you only take my bed I didn't want to take it too serious but I just wanted to mention that thank you J.A. Alright J.A.

Hello, who's this? This is Bruno. Bruno, what up? Get it off your chest. I want to talk about Haitian heritage month. Haitian flag day was yesterday. Sac passe. To go on my Haitian.

Ma boule. All right. I want to talk about a little bit of Haitian history that plays into American history. Go ahead. Break it down, brother. In 1804, Napoleon was forced to sell Louisiana due to the fact that he was fighting the Haitians. You know what I'm saying?

So America wouldn't have Louisiana if it wasn't for the fact that Haitians fought back and took their freedom in 1804. And 9,000 refugees, white and black, fled to Louisiana at that time. So a lot of Louisiana natives are also Haitian descendants. And what are known is that US invaded Haiti in 1914 and took $500,000 in gold bars and formed Citigroup due to the fact that we took our freedom. France came and invaded 20 years later, claimed that they lost property, which was the slaves. So we ended up having to pay over $21 billion back to France. Okay. over $21 billion back to France.

Okay. And Jean-Port-Bute de Femme also founded Chicago. So, a lot of people don't know that Haiti has played a lot of integral parts in American history. So I just wanted to let y'all know. Salute to all the Haitians out there. Sac passe. We appreciate y'all. Hello, who's this?

Yo, this is the big homie H. What's good, Envy? What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Ain't thatall. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is the big homie, itch. What's good, Envy? What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Ain't that much. Hey, I want to talk to the brothers out there. Man, I was a little concerned last week when I heard brothers calling in talking about free Puffy. Now, Puffy was out of control from the beginning of his career when he had that incident at City College. I'm from BK, so, you know what I mean?

I watched his career from the low to the high. But when these guys become these elite individuals, when I say elite become part of that $100 million club, they tend to try to sit on the side where they feel like they're going to be accepted by the F-themed and these individuals that do these outrageous things. But when I hear the brothers call in, it was like, yo, why she came up there and why she's speaking her truth? That's part of her dirt. And these same individuals have daughters and wives.

So this is what you accept for that, your daughter or your wife, that a man will use his money and X, Y, and Z to beat you to the ground. And when you speak up about it, it's a problem. It just was really disturbing to hear that and I was just trying to call in the vent that man cause I just see it's an ongoing thing within the community where our sisters, they try to lay it down and the brothers not rallying behind them

to support them, real talk. Well, I think folks need to be screaming for Diddy to get some healing, you know what I'm saying? Regardless of what happens in this situation, he gonna have to deal with the consequences of his actions and he cannot run from himself. That at some point you got to sit down and do some work on yourself. Cause he clearly needs it. Most definitely.

But for Diddy, I just feel like it's been so long throughout his career where it should have been some, some thought of change, you know what I'm saying? I'm not just, it's before, um before Cassie, it's all the other little things that was happening. I don't want to bring that up on air. We all know what's up though. But just to watch some dumb things play on man, they hear the brothers throwing my free diddy. It's real disturbing man. I need to lift our sisters up. You know what I'm saying? Maybe I need to listen to a little more pop. Keep your head up and understand why women are here and what they do for us and what they have done for the world

with them being the star of mankind. And that's just on some real talk. Yo, yo, Jess, yo, keep doing your thing, Jess. You got a whole Brooklyn team, a whole Brooklyn street team out there you don't even know about. I appreciate that. A Brooklyn street team?

Street team. Street team. Street team. We is rallying behind you for a little minute, know what I mean? Man, I appreciate that a Brooklyn she team Street team. Street team. Street team. We is rallying behind you for a little minute. Now I mean, Man I appreciate that. You're doing a little funny thing in the whip and we watching, we like, yo, keep tagging her,

We're gonna keep going. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. What's up, Lauren? We got the latest coming up? Yeah, we do. We gotta talk about Cassie's last day

on the stand, but more importantly, going into this week, their second major witness, victim Jane, who we now know as Dawn Richard, is on the stand, but Diddy's team does not want her there. And it's, well, she says it's Richard. She said that! Oh, Dawn's on today? Dawn was on Friday. See, this is the thing. For 20 minutes, I saw that.

It was barely even that. Dawn was on Friday, and they objected heavily to her even testifying, it caused the whole thing in court. They basically were like, look, we'll pick this up Monday. But then they argued about, oh shoot. Sorry. I'll get into that next. You see Lawrence excited.

It's the breakfast club. The girl name is Richards. She said it's Richard. Somebody always been extra with their name. I know somebody named Deborah, right? And she was like, no, my name's Deborah. Bitch. Her name is Deborah.

Right. Ladies with Lawrence next. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarish. I'm the host of the show. I'm the host of the show. I'm the host of the show. I'm the host of the show. I'm the host of the show. Deborah. All right, Latest with Lauren is next. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming straight back. Tell her! Tell her! She gets in from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on this.

That's sound the things. the latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit. Everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All right.

So back in court this week, the second big testimony that people or the teams are looking forward to are looking forward to going against is Dawn Richard. Now Dawn Richard started to testify previously Dawn Richards previously. There's an argument about how you say the last name. Richard Richard Dawn of formerly of Danny D. Kane and of the what was it three persons group Dirty Money. I guess if you're feeling casual or formal if you're feeling casual as Richard if you're feeling formal as I don't know but Dawn is on that stand. She came on the stand after Cassie finished her testimony

and literally was there for maybe 20 minutes and Diddy's team immediately started objecting to her testimony. Now the reason why they're objecting is because they're trying to say everything, not even trying, he literally said in court, Diddy's attorney, that everything Dawn is saying is a lie. And it makes no sense that they allow people

who have these random stories of what allegedly happened physical violence wise to get on the stand because this isn't a domestic violence case. Now the judge or the government is like, well, honestly, if we're talking about violence, it adds to account one, it adds to us being able to talk about the coercion and Diddy being able

to basically allegedly scare people into allowing him to do what he wanted to do. So her- Oh, because they said one thing Don said is after she saw Diddy beat Cassie the next day. He came in the room. And threatened her. Yes, so Don is testifying that exactly

what she talked about in her civil suit, in addition to some other things that they came, they were in a house in LA in 2009. Did he beat Cassie because Cassie wasn't finished allegedly making his food on time. And the next day he came in a room to talk to her and her band member and he basically told them, you know, alleges that he told them don't say anything, which also there was passion. And when people say stuff about things like this about me, they end up missing. That's what Don is alleging.

So the government is like, this is definitely relevant because it'll show that number one, he was conscious of guilt, conscious of what we're trying to prove is that he knows what he's doing. But he allegedly like makes people feel scared so that they will just continue to let him do what he wants to do. So today, Monday, people are wondering if Dawn is going to get back on the stand. The judge said when he dismissed Dawn, you know, you can enjoy your weekend, but we will see you on Monday.

And today they will have a conversation about what the scope of her testimony can be, how much she can go into and how it relates to the actual charges. But the judge, I'm going to tell you, he was upset. He was pissed off at Diddy's attorney because he was like, you've known that she was one of the witnesses all this time and you Knew what what she discovered Yeah, why you didn't say something before and Diddy's attorney was like well We can't say that we knew what she was good on this day and get on a stand to say so there was a back of her

Questions though should be the question the prosecutors answer the question. She just can't get on the stand and just say whatever day She has to answer the questions coming from the prosecutor Yeah, but it's directed like you asked her questions because you want to get certain things from her. Diddy's team is basically saying y'all are unfairly adding additional conversation about the violence and not about what we're actually here for. But they're saying the violence equals to what we're here for. I understand that, but also she filed a civil suit. So they do know what she's going to probably say on this thing. Now, and on the terms of the civil suit, the same day that she got on the stand, Diddy's team filed to have that civil suit thrown out.

They filed documents on Friday and they pointed out a series of reasons that Dawn's lawsuit shouldn't go any further. They talk about statute of limitations, improper group pleas and on and on. It's like really legalese. But basically, because of what I heard Diddy's attorney say in court, they just feel like everything she's saying is a lie and that she's allegedly jumping on a bandwagon of like everybody's piling on diddy So let me hop on the whole money conversation like all that stuff So we said dawn and his ex-manager James Cruz would be the biggest

People in that court right cuz Cassie has a relationship with him right Cassie was allegedly part of a lot of stuff that he was Doing but these two individuals weren't so they are seeing from a eyes perspective because they weren't part of the you know freak-offs yeah that we know of yeah no yeah but done eyes perspective as opposed to what it knows yes um and then Cassie that was her last day taking the stand so she uh she finished her testimony before dawn and they actually spoke, her lawyer spoke out for her.

I, of course, was drawn to the LSD story. In the 1950s, a CIA scientist secretly bought the entire world supply of LSD, embarking on a horrific attempt to discover the secrets to mind control.

This is so insane. This was all under, like, official government activity. They built a apartment in San Francisco that had a glass mirror where he could sit there and watch, and then they would drug these customers, and he was just sort of taking notes and God knows what else behind this double mirror. And this was all in the name of science.

This just sounds like a guy g***ing off behind a wall. It does. I would just also like to say if you don't have to take LSD like this, LSD can be microdosed. It's like an upper of energy enthusiasm, makes you less nervous if I'm going heli-skiing.

If it allows me to go heli-skiing, then yeah, I'm hella on board. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What happens when we come face to face with death? My truck was blown up by a 20 pound anti-tank mine. My parachute did not deploy. I was kidnapped by a drug cartel.

I just remember everything getting dark. I'm dying. We step beyond the edge of what we know. To open our consciousness to something more than just what's in that Western box. And return. I clinically died. The heart stopped beating.

Which I was dead for 11.5 minutes. My name is Dan Bush. My mission is simple, to find, explore, and share these stories. I'm not a victim, I'm a survivor. You're strongest when you're the most vulnerable. To remind us what it means to be alive. Not just that I was the guy that cut his arm off, but I'm the guy who is smiling when he cut his arm off.

This week has been extremely challenging, but also remarkably empowering and healing for me. I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear. For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember and the more I can remember, the more I will

never forget. I am glad to put this chapter of my life to rest as I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy. I asked for privacy for me and for my growing family. And what she give an immunity. I don't know the answer to that 100%. There have been rumors that that was a conversation, but I do not know. And then the attorney also spoke out for her husband, Alex fine too, because people want to know how he felt Let's take a listen and then I have a statement from Alex fine over the past five days The world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife freeing herself of her past There has been speculation online surrounding how it must feel for me to sit there and listen to my wife's testimony

I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her. Now all of this is happening. And did these baby girls went to prom and had their last day of high school and they looked amazing over the weekend. I just feel so bad for the for these girls because they are subjected to so much stuff that has nothing to do with them and they're young like their mom is not here their daddy's locked up and they haven't been in court for the last couple days so people were creating stories about why they're

not in court and it's like they just trying to finish high school and go to prom. I wouldn't want my children in court either after somebody said I like to rub another man's semen on my nipples. Yeah that's something I wouldn't want I'm going to school. Why did nobody stand up and yell objection? It just be going on about a day like it's nothing. So if you did it, you would have yelled objection. He should have yelled objection, you're on. You're not an attorney objection.

You're not going to do you're not going to just going to let that go. That's that's not a crime. You're not going to say pause on your nipples. That's just a sexual. Don't nobody need to know that. That's a fake. You say pause, Elise. Well, listen, they didn't put the special agent who did

the search and seizure of the hotel room when Diddy was locked up here in New York. They had pictures of a whole freak off about to go down in the hotel room. Right before he got locked up? Yes! Man, they've been giving Bang Bros all the ideas and stuff, so now it's a whole category. You know, same in Nipples. Is it? Really?

Bang Bros. Yeah, check it out, y'all. No, I haven't checked it out. Y'all haven't checked it out. It's a drip. Yeah. It may, like, almond, lemon, lime. Nuddy nipple, yo. It's called a nutty nipple. Where was you at?

Thank you. This is a lot of lotion. Why didn't you just give her? This is a lot of lotion. Jesus, like, ashy. He took it from my hand. I washed my hands. Yes, thank you.

I'm just letting you. I didn't say nothing. You said all I did was... And I don't know how I feel about you giving me all this lotion. I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting my hair. I wash my hands, yes, thank you.

But this is a lot of lotion. I didn't say nothing. You said all I did was touch it. And I don't know how I feel about you giving me all this lotion after the conversation we just had. And then you're not even, yo, you're not even ashy like that. I don't need any takes up. Show her that hand right there.

What'd you do, are you crazy? In the middle of the break, he got up to run to his bag to get you that lotion. Yes! That's so distracting. By the way, I didn't say nothing. She said it. I didn't pass it to the lotion discreetly.

Don't make it seem like I just be ashy. I washed my hands. I didn't say nothing about you being ashy. I didn't pass you the lotion discreetly. All right. You told everybody. Can somebody take some of this? That is the latest with Ashy, I mean the latest with Lauren.

All right. Now when we come back, we got front page news. All right. I'm letting your beard live. All right. When we come back, we got front page news.

So the Thunder moves on to the next round, which they'll be playing the Timberwolves. So, and of course my next will be playing the Pacers. What's up Morgan? All right, let's get back into it. Congress is advancing President Trump's big, beautiful bill. The budget and tax bill failed to get out of the

GOP-led budget committee on Friday, but it advanced in a rare vote on Sunday night, last night, by a 17 to 16 vote along party lines. The four Republicans who opposed the bill and committee on Friday voted present. House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke to Fox News Sunday ahead of the vote last night and laid out the projected schedule for the bill this week. Let's hear those comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson. And we're on track working around the clock to deliver this nation shaping legislation for the American people as soon as possible.

The budget committee will reconvene this evening. They'll get that through the committee. And the plan is to move it to the rules committee by midweek and to the House floor by the end of the week. Yeah, so the package includes a major spending increase for immigration enforcement and the military extensions to Trump's 2017 tax cuts and cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and clean energy funding. Now, GOP lawmakers are looking at changes that could make house passage more difficult

this week. So they're going to be getting into that. Now, let's talk tariffs. I know Mimi touched on this a bit on Friday, but there is an update. So the White House says that it's in talks with Walmart after the retail giant said it will soon raise prices due to tariffs. Now on NBC's Meet the Press, Treasury Secretary Scott Benson said that he spoke to Walmart's CEO. Let's take a listen to those comments. Walmart is in fact, they are going to, as you describe it, eat some of the tariffs.

With their consumer, the single most important thing is the gasoline price. And gasoline prices have collapsed under President Trump. So on Saturday, President Trump posted that Walmart should stop trying to blame tariffs as the reason for raising prices and went on to say that they should eat the tariffs. Now Walmart CFO said the retailer will try to work with suppliers to keep prices as low as they can. I'm not gonna lie. That was a good point that I thought Trump raised because he said Walmart made billions of dollars last year. Did y'all got it? Yeah, fall more than expected. He said between Walmart and China, they should eat the tariffs and not charge valued

customers anything. I can't. I mean, they've made a lot of money. They do make a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of money. Yeah. And they're already overcharging people for things way before these tariffs. Right. And everybody is, by the way, everybody's charging high and the tariffs have been in effect and everybody's charging tariff fees, which seems crazy to me. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, we will continue to see, you know, keep you posted as to, you know, how the tariffs and trade war goes. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Benson also spoke about China. Now, the Trump administration insists that there is no retreat when it came to the tariffs on China. He went on to say that it's not a tit for tat policy that the US and China had previously engaged in.

But he did say that both sides agreed to lower tariffs to open a window of negotiations to get a final trade deal with the country. Benson went on to say that he has been involved in talks with China. So hopefully things will start to ease in regards to those tariffs as well. And continuing with international affairs, former Vice President Mike Pence, he says it's a bad idea for President Trump to accept that 747 jet from Qatar to use someday as Air Force One. Now Pence tells NBC's Meet the Press that accepting the luxury jet would raise security and constitutional concerns to which you have said, CTG.

And he hopes that Trump will rethink accepting this gift. Let's hear more from former Vice President Mike Pence. Qatar has a long history of playing both sides. They support Hamas. They supported Al-Qaeda. Qatar has actually financed pro-Hamas protests on American campuses across the United States. And so the very idea that we would accept an Air Force one from Qatar, I think, is inconsistent with our security, with our intelligence needs. My hope is the president reconsider it.

So the Trump administration plans to accept the jet from the Qatari royal and use it for the president's travel. Now, Pence suggested if Qatar wants to give the US a gift, it could give us $400 million directly to infrastructure on their military base. So he said, why are you gonna give us a a plane? Well, you could just give us cash. We know you got it. So that's Pence's thoughts in regards to that plane. The fact we are saying he should rethink it is nuts to me.

The constitution is clear that he can't do that. Not allowed. So are there no consequences for a president throwing his middle finger to the constitution? Or there's no consequences for a president doing what the constitution clearly states not to do? Well, despite the fact that Trump has in fact sworn an oath to the constitution, it is already clear that he has decided to do what he wants to do.

And as far as punishments are concerned, that is pending and to be determined. We are we are in it in the thick of it. And speaking of semi punishments, it's like let me get into this last story. And the people are saying the ancestors have seemingly entered the chat with this story, maybe punishing the plantation owners. You all see what happened in Louisiana. Notaway Plantation in White Castle, Louisiana, has been declared a total loss following a fire The 1859 plantation house was the largest antebellum home in the south and between 155 and 200 slaves reportedly

Worked the sugar fields on that plantation Iberville parish president Chris Daigle says the not away plantation house is a total loss after Thursday's fire now fire crews Responded to the blaze around 2 p.m. and put it out, but it reignited about 6 p.m. causing the roof to collapse. Now, the 53,000 square foot home was, like I said, the largest standing antebellum home in the south with 64 rooms, 365 doors and windows. They've used this as a resort as of late and it was built in 1859. It has survived numerous hurricanes and of course the Civil War. The cause of the fire is under investigation but the owner is hoping to rebuild. A lot of people are saying that this is an act of the ancestors.

What do you guys think? What actually caused the fire, Morgan? We don't know yet. It's under investigation. I feel like the ancestors would have did this a long time ago because they had the power to do it. That's all I'm saying. Like, you know what I mean? I believe in my ancestors. All praises do, but you know, come on. I did hear that they said they bought the Annabelle doll

to the city and they opened her box or something like that. And then that happened. Ooh, what? Just. You just asked us a damn question, a crazy question, I'm giving you a crazy answer. I've seen it online. I've seen it. Oh my gosh. They said that they bought the antebell door and opened up the box and that's what happened.

Yeah, I just... If the ancestors wanted to do this, they would have done this a long time ago. You know what I'm saying? If the ancestors had the power to do this, they would have done this a long time ago. And plus, let me be for real, the blood of the ancestors is actually in the soil. It ain't just in the house, it's in the soil. You know how many enslaved people got killed on those grounds? Right. So very, well, you know, we'll see what happens as a result of this fire, whether or not that owner will be able to rebuild and yeah, we'll see what happens. I'll keep you guys posted,

but that's your front page news for today. Y'all can follow me on social at Morgan Media and for more news coverage follow us at Black Information Network download the free iHeartRadio app and visit us at BINnews.com. Make it a great Monday. Thank you. Alright now when we come back Lynne Whitfield will be joining us. Miss Lynne Whitfield of course she's on season 7 of The Chi and we're gonna talk to her in a little bit so don't't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Nega. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The legendary. The icon, Ms. Lynn Whitfield. Welcome. Good morning.

How you feeling? Thank you. I feel great. I'm happy to be back. Look amazing. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. You just came back from South Africa and Zimbabwe, right? Yeah, I came back from South Africa. I was doing a film in Cape Town. I was there all like two and a half months. What was that like for you spiritually and culturally? So spiritually, there's a magnetic force there, you know, with Table Mountain, the Cape of Good Hope

out there. It's so powerful. So I feel very energized by the energy of the place and often saddened by the history of the place. You know, so I have to kind of balance that out and maybe not go to the Slave Lodge Museum right away and maybe not go to District 6 and you know remember Robin Island and all that you know and just feel the energy of the place why it was so attractive in the first place that people wanted it so badly and still do. Yeah I'm going to Cape Town for the holidays I've been to Jolbert I've never been to Cape Town.

It's beautiful. It's very beautiful. It's like a cross in topography between say a San Francisco and a Miami. I think it's like Miami. I always say Cape Town reminds me of Miami a lot. Durban is kind of like DC. Yeah, and you know I haven't been to like Chicago, Atlanta. Yep.

Yeah, that's how I feel. But I love it there. It's my fourth time in South Africa. Now you're on season 7 of the shy. Yes How are you enjoying the shot? Oh, well, I really enjoyed season 7. It was great I mean I went in for three episodes at the end of season 6 and then I was invited back for all of season 7 and It was great so many young talented actors and an interesting storyline for me. So yeah How do you decide what you want to do now? Right? Because you've done so many things and so many things have been impactful for our community

How do you say you know what I want to do that want to work with the young bucks on this one Oh, I'd rather do this one. How do you decide what what miss Linfield? I don't know when I read it when I read something and my imagination gets to cook in and I Can see where I can add something to it. My southern mother in Baton Rouge, Louisiana who's now 94, yay mom! She says, she says well she'll put something on or put a throw pillow on the couch or do something and she'll stand back and she'll say I don't know, does it add?

So if I feel like I can add something, add dimension, add deeper meaning, you know, thread something through a story that makes it better, I usually want to do it. Also, you know, I like roles that are a little bit showy, that I get to do something exciting and yeah. I heard you did that with Alicia. I heard that you said you were drew to the role,

not because of what was on the paper and that you needed to fill that role out a little bit. Right. Okay, what did you mean by that? The possibility of it. Okay, because it was only for three, it was supposed to be for three episodes. So we have the first information was she wanted her son

to go and revenge the death of her brother, which is, you know, street culture, street law, like revenge, right? So I found that very interesting to me because I don't really understand the visceral energy of people who actually are hurt, disappointed, feel lost, and then turn that out into, I'm going to make somebody pay because it still didn't make the pain go away, you know? So it was very interesting to me to take that journey and kind of figure out and fill in the gaps of how a human being can decide that because I'm hurting, I'm going to hurt you. I'm going to kill you.

Hopefully it makes me feel better. And hopefully that makes me feel better. You know, because I watch true crime sometime and you know, I love our country. I love it. But there's a lot of gun violence going on. People are acting out in some ways that more violence will make me whole. That's crazy. That's a crazy concept to me. And so I wanted to explore that kind of psyche. Have you ever had to emotionally recover from a role you played? And which one

took you out the most personally? It's one that nobody ever, that people didn't really see. It was a part of a trilogy of short stories that was on Showtime years and years and years ago. The character was raped and when we shot it it was a rainy day in Toronto. You know the whole thing, the being thrown down, the invasion of it. Of course there was no sexual act but it really took me a little while to process all that and like release it because that aggressive act was so harsh to my spirit even though we were acting I had to just kind of heal from it and that was an unpleasant one and it took a while and I cried myself to sleep that night so my heart goes out to you know women or any human beings who've been sexually assaulted sexually assaulted

We hear that in the news did that bring you back there when I hear it in the news it? You know again, it's the nuances of something so we hear oh somebody was raped somebody was sexually assaulted But the nuances of actually that happening to you, your body being invaded, you being overpowered, you being overthrown, it's frightening and it's painful and it's helpless. And you've also portrayed a lot of powerful matriarchs, right? I always wondered, like what did- Well, powerful women, they're not all matriarchs.

Sometimes they don't, you know, there are powerful women who don't have children, can't have children. That's true. Yeah. I always wonder like what did your mother or even grandmother teach you about that like commanding presence that you brought to those roles? I don't know, I think that's an energy that somebody's kind of born with and it's funny because my mother has this commanding presence and she's, you know, in her youth was really beautiful and well groomed and all of that. Yet as her daughter, I know the nuances. So that's why I texture all of the women because I was raised by women who have a lot of dimensions to them, you know, who have a lot of insecurities and sometimes insecurities are all wrapped up and dressed up, you know, in fancy clothes or jewelry or perfume and,

you know, hair and all of that. But that doesn't have a lot to do with the evolution of a soul. So I find it very interesting to always go a little bit past the power and into the other nuances of who people are. So they're never just always powerful with no problems, without character flaws. They're not perfect. They're always some little missing link that they could make better that makes them not quite the person they want to be. We're still kicking it with Ms. Lynn Whitfield.

Now I want to ask you about the evolution of Hollywood, meaning I don't think people look at movies as they did back then. I wanted to get your thoughts on it, right? Because you know, when a movie came out, everybody wanted to go see that movie. But now I feel like we don't have that same feeling towards movies a lot of the times. Like I was just talking to Charlamagne about the Clarissa Shields movie and I was like, it was an amazing movie but I forgot it came out. It came out on Christmas and I happened to see it on a plane and I'm like, damn, this was a good movie.

Movie and you didn't, yeah, well technology has sort of changed everything I think because everything is accessible. When movie culture was a family event, when people waited with bated breath to go and see a movie, the opening of a movie, it was because they weren't gonna see it. If you miss it in the movie theater, you might not see it. Until it went to Blockbuster. I know I'm telling my age, but yes, we went to Blockbuster. Until you could get it in Blockbuster. Damn, Blockbuster. Remember?

Blockbuster in a long time, but it was so great because it's a family event. Everybody gets together, you're going, people even used to want to look cute, they have dinner before, and the family goes to the movies and shares this idea. I loved drive-ins. Drive-ins were great. We'd go in our pajamas. But no, it's not like that anymore because people have access. Sometimes they have access to the movie before it's in a movie theater.

So technology has kind of changed all that. But has that killed the experience? Like we were talking about, even Sinners, like he said, you want to see it on IMAX because the sounds and the quality. And seeing it on airplane, TV is not doing anything for it. You know, it's still going to be good when it comes out. Quality and seeing it on airplane TV is not doing anything for No, of course it's gonna be good but when I trained to be an actress, you know when I was at Howard when I trained You know privately after college and all that I was training to be on a big 30 foot screen Hmm. It was not occurring to me that people would be watching my image on a three-inch screen on a phone.

That part makes me a little sad sometimes. Yeah, because I fell in love with movies and storytelling, watching things on a big screen, or at least the million-dollar movie with my grandmother when you could, you know, this had been a movie and you couldn't see it anywhere else unless you caught them, you know, you caught the late night movie and it was playing again. You couldn't just on demand it somewhere. Well, what's the difference? Like how do you approach it differently as opposed to, okay, I know this is going to

be on a big screen, it's going to be on TV. Like how do you approach it differently when you act? Little bit. Wow. Okay. It's gonna be on TV. Like how do you approach it differently when you act a little bit Wow Okay, when you know something is gonna be on a big screen and you trust the director I'm so excited cuz I just did a thrill with Malcolm D Lee. That's what I was doing So I'm in South Africa. So I'm excited and we know that it is made with a movie theater Okay So when a screen is 30 feet tall you really can think a thought and it will transmit.

You know, you don't have to show people what you're feeling. You can simply feel what you're feeling. And that's so beautiful. But if you know it's on a small screen, it kind of gives you freedom to be more animated. I mean, you know, on a 30-foot screen, I mean, I don't want to see people's lips trembling and all that. But you know what I mean? I don't want to see somebody, you know, if they're surprised, like eyes, because that

means your eyes are like 15 feet. It's big, you know? And invasive. And I think film just pulls you into the experience, you know? And the smaller the screen, you don't have to think about it quite as much. So it can be different. But good acting is good acting. Believable acting is believable anywhere.

It could be on the stage, a big screen, television. But there are little nuances that can change when you're doing it for a big scene. You know, you talked earlier about our stories, black stories. Why do you think it's still so hard for black stories to be told and sold in Hollywood when, you know, obviously we're supporting, people are going to see, but they just don't want to produce them? Well, the relevancy of who we are as a people, the entertaining nature of who we are as a

people, the magic of who we are as a people the magic of who we are Of course Is always being downplayed is always being made less important than it is in every aspect of our culture I mean in fashion Nobody's gonna say wow, this is really something that was very much influenced by the wraps that were worn by men in some, you know, Western African tribe. Even the Met Gala, 31 million, how much went to organizations that benefit black and brown people?

This is zero. You know, I just came back from South Africa, a country that I love. I love this country, but that the supremacy of others and the self-importance of others, and I feel the insecurity of our wonder, you know, being threatened by our majesty, our creativity. So it's constantly a threat to people. It's constantly being belittled and made less important. That's just the nature of it. Because, you know, I thought I would be, you know, just getting away from some things,

being in another country for two and a half months. But it is so the through. I mean, I go to Victoria Falls, which is called Mosa Tuna, you know, and that's the storm, the storm that thunders, I think that's the tribal, you know, Kosa, I think it's Kosa the language, and that was the name of it. So this English explorer comes, the tribe show him this seventh, one of the seven wonders of the world and he says oh marvelous yes I discovered this I think I should gift it to the Queen and name it after crazy so that's Victoria Falls you know so it's a constant kind of wanting something that doesn't belong to you or wanting to quiet things that are

threatening to you or makes you seem less interesting or has commercial value but you want to own it. So that, I mean, it's the same story over and over and over and over again. So sometimes I feel like if we just keep talking about it, we're just romancing, you know, like old dead mess. Because I can't see white supremacy disappearing. I can't see the need to make others small to feel strong. I don't see it leaving.

The hilarious thing about white supremacy is that we're not the threat to your existence. White supremacists are the threat to white supremacists' existence. Well, of course. But when you get to the point, when we're just even hitting the tip of an iceberg talking about cultural things, artistic things, and why, you know, soldiers' story, which was soldiers' play, could be done and do all that box office back 30 years ago with Adolf Caesar and Denzel and then after that there's still

a dearth or how you could have Lady Sings the Blues and it'd be so incredible but thank God HBO said what 20 years later let's do Josephine Baker I mean how many stories so it doesn't matter often, like what the box office is, that it actually made money. They just don't see the relevance of filling out theaters with more. And sometimes we maybe don't even put forth the stories that move us forward. I mean, there's so much complexity and race in every corner of it. We're still kicking it with Miss Lynn Whitfield.

Charlamagne? You know, I love your longevity in the game. I don't think we applaud that enough in people, just the fact that somebody can be around for so long and be so consistent, right? Was there ever a time in your career when you felt invisible? And how did you push through that season?

Well, you were just talking about God, right? So those times when, God, I've contributed, I've done, I've tried to do good work all this time. Why is nobody seeing it? Why is the continuum? So yeah, that happened. And then I have to have faith that this gift that was deposited in me, this purpose that was put in to me, what is not there for nothing,

and that the right vehicle will come. Or perhaps maybe what God is saying, well, you need to do the right thing for your damn self. That's right. Because I've given you all kinds of talent to do so. So, you know, whether or not I'm obedient to that, you straight into the heart of K-pop. We're talking music reviews, exclusive interviews, and deep dives into the industry like never before.

to mind control. This is so insane. This was all under like official government activity. They built a apartment in San Francisco that had a glass mirror where he could sit there and watch. And then they would drug these customers and he was just sort of taking notes and God knows what else behind this double mirror.

And this was all in the name of science. This just sounds like a guy off behind a wall. It does. I would just also like to say if you don't have to take LSD like this, LSD can be microdosed. It's like an upper of energy, enthusiasm, I would just also like to say if you don't have to take LSD like this, LSD can be microdosed. It's like an upper of energy, enthusiasm, makes you less nervous if I'm going heli-skiing.

If it allows me to go heli-skiing, then yeah, I'm hella on board. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. God, I get through it with my love of storytelling, my love of acting, of being a part of this phenomenon. Why wouldn't you be obedient to God telling you to make your own? What would even be the hesitation? I don't think it's a hesitation of, I don't know if I should do it. It's the energetic activity of what it takes to do it.

And to sell it. To see it all the way through. That's why I'm saying Ryan Kugler is just so inspiring, you know? Because he went all around Africa, to many, many countries before he did Black Panther. You know, researching. He researched the blues and all those. So it, I mean, so it takes, it's me wanting to put forth all the energy, effort, layers that it takes in a craft that I haven't spent my life developing. Like acting, telling the story, but creating the story, like taking a pen and putting it on paper, and I kinda always wanna be good at what I do, so the sloppy copy, I just feel like it.

Yeah, the sloppy copy might scare the shit out of me, you know what I mean, like, oh my God, I can't do this, you know? Like a blank page, so that's why. It's not a brazen disobedience. It's more maybe a lack of confidence in it. Is there a movie role that you turned down that after seeing the movie you was like damn I shouldn't have turned that one down I like that movie or a part or a character? No there were one or two that they didn't choose me for that

I thought I should have done but then then, you know, you can never name those. So y'all are not. I would have done a way better job. You're not going to rip me a new asshole. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. We're not. We're going to leave here with just, it's going to be smooth sailing. I've seen a lot of people online comparing the role of Alicia to your Lady Mae role.

Have you seen it? And how do you feel about those comparisons? I mean, they can do what they want. I think Alicia, Lady Mae, they have a kingdom and they're not gonna lose it. They have what they have, they're not gonna lose. Lady Mae would not pick up a gun and go kill somebody. She might pray you out of the church, but she wouldn't take someone's life. Lady Mae is

a God-fearing woman who feels that putting her faith in God will help her do what she needs to do. Lady Mae had a long longstanding love affair with her actual real husband, even though they had problems. So it was a much more organized family structure. Alicia is out there on her own, divorced, by herself, trying to make something of her son, not having much faith in anything. So therefore feeling like she's gotta take care of it all. They have in common that they're well-groomed women, but I really pay more attention to the diversity in these women's emotional experiences. So for me, they're very different.

Do you feel you get the flowers you deserve for all the roles and the hits and the big movies and the big shows? Do you feel like you get the flowers that you deserve? Honestly. Look, well let me say, I think I'm more in the market for, like, cause you know, flowers will die. So I'm good with, I mean, I understand when they say,

I want to give you your flowers, why you, I know, but you know, give me some diamonds. Give me some things that stick that continue to to gain value appreciate it and so classics so an opportunity to do more films that are stories that will be classics that will stick around after I'm long gone is what I want I you know I still have stuff I want to do you know so the Black Critics Association honored me this year at their luncheon, not at their evening big gala, but it was beautiful at the luncheon because it's more intimate and people

laugh Why y'all ain't honor Ms. Whitfield at that goddamn dinner? No, no, Gil, Gil don't listen to that No, Gil, come on Gil The luncheon? Just a brunch? No, no, Gil, Gil, don't, don't listen to them. No, Gil, Gil, come on, Gil. The luncheon? No, Gil, no, because people really talk real smack at the luncheon. They really, it's not so formal.

I really, really enjoyed it. And I said something there that I really would not say probably at the gala, which is I really don't feel comfortable. People say, you know, on your shoulders I stand and please don't stand on my shoulders because I need to be lying on my feet. I'm not going to be put in some corner. And as long as I can just keep this, I heard that all therapy and red light therapy really, you know, tightens skin.

So as long as I can keep it, then I have so much I want to do. You are aging like fine wine, right? So what's the most misunderstood thing about being a woman who ages publicly in Hollywood? That there's some kind of neutering thing that goes on, you know, where you don't think of women as sensual or sexual beings or real women. It's stereotypical things that begin to happen in terms of roles and casting and writing. And that's what our black writers do it as well. It's not a white Hollywood thing where this happens. It just happens.

And it's boring as s***. It's really a boring. Really, you can still be sexy. You can still be romantic. You don't have to grandmommy. You don't have to auntie me. That's why I call you Miss Whitfield. Cause if I call you Lynn.

But that's boring though. Yeah, but. But that's boring to call me. Cause you still got that everything. You still got the sexiness. Well, it's fun. And so I said, if I get this old therapy. Just keeping everything. The old, the red light thing.

So you put the mask on, now you put the mask on, and the red light you have. I have it, I don't do it as often as I should, but I'm going to because that would be the only thing, just keeping everything tight and fabulous. What is that energy about you? Is it the energy that you have?

Is it the energy Stephanie Mills has? It's the energy. Felicia Richa. Felicia Richa, oh my God. Lord, I'm Angela Bathitt. Yes, yes the energy that you have. It's the energy Stephanie Mills has. It's the energy. It's the energy. Policia Rashad. Policia Rashad. Oh my God. Lord, that was Angela Bassett. So that's it. I just think they do that and that's boring. It is so, so boring. How they, the stories that they write, how you're perceived. Yeah. I get what you're saying. They want to write you into parts that they think an

older woman should be playing. Yes, they want to write that in a comfortable role. Everybody ain't got children. There are barren women. There are women who never had children who are really interesting, who have a life. And even if you do have children, people have lives separate from their kids and their husbands and their like appendage roles, I don't know. I'm very just fascinated by interesting women who continue to be productive and have a life

and they do and we do. So I don't like that. We appreciate you for joining us. Always. Well, you all thank you so much. Thank you. Season seven of The Shaw is streaming now. Miss. Well you all thank you so much. Season 7 of The Shy is streaming now. Miss Lynn Whitfield, thank you so much. You're quite welcome. Thank you for having me. Mwah, mwah, and mwah.

Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilaria, Charlamagne, The Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming in straight back. She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything in this. So the Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese banter is back again. I don't even know if it ever really left, but it always heightens up whenever the two ladies are on the court together. So there yesterday they played the fever played the sky and the fever won 93 to 58. But during the game, I was 358 was a score.

Yeah, 93 58. The foul. So there was a foul that took place in the third quarter of the game. Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. So Caitlin Clark, did you guys see this video? Yes, I did saw the whole game. I was watching it in real time. Perfect. Okay, so that was Saturday, by the way. Saturday, I'm sorry. So, um, see my days is having me in court is kind of making me all over the place. Right? Whoa. Sorry. But anyway, so Caitlin Clark, I mean, Angel Reese goes to make that goes up to take a shot. Caitlin Clark goes to stop her but then they call it a foul. They call it a foul.

So they call it a foul. They upgrade the foul and just at its surface, like if you're not a person that just sits and watches basketball all the time like me, I just saw the videos beginning to circulate and I'm like, yo, what was the issue? Why were they about to fight on the court? At first when I watched it, I felt like that I felt like oh that was on purpose on Caitlin's behalf and I'm like, why is she so upset? She said there isn't an issue and then I went back and watched like some of the replays and I'm like Oh, no, she really was just trying to stop the ball from going to them. They upcharged it to a flagrant foul I believe but it was just a regular foul. It was just a hard foul.

It was a good basketball play. It was actually a good basketball play because Angel Reese had just pushed um, I forgot which teammate from the Fever she had just pushed so Caitlin was getting her teammates back. I have a problem with it. Yes. That was great. Well you know that people turned it into a thing because there's been so much conversation around the ladies and race and who's better and who's not and this and that and the third. Yes. So Caitlin. Better how though? Like when you say better what do you mean better? Caitlin Clark is clearly a better basketball player than Angel Reese.

But you know what's crazy? Because I don't- But Angel Reese is a good player, but she just played two different positions. Like it's not even the same type of game. But there's always a conversation about, you know, y'all don't see that, about who's better out of the two ladies, Caitlin or Angel Reese. I always- I don't see that conversation anymore. OK, not anymore, right? But in the beginning, yes. And I actually started to watch some

of the clips because I wanted to determine for myself. And then I was like, Oh, Caitlin is obviously really a great player. I don't know why they even have the conversation. But Angel Reese is amazing as well too. But anyway, they love to put the women against each other. So instantly that caught the headlines that caught social. After the game, you know, they do their post game interviews. Kaitlyn Clark actually addressed the situation. Let's take a listen. Let's not make it anything that it's not. I'm not sure what the ref saw to upgrade it and that's up to their discretion after watching

the initial whatever happened during the play and then whatever happened after. You know, we watch a lot of basketball. It's a take foul to put them at the free throw line. I'd rather give them two points. You know, I've watched a lot of basketball in my life. That's exactly what it was. I wasn't trying to do anything malicious. That's not the type of player I am. So yes, it wasn't anything like that. And I wasn't trying trying to do anything malicious that's not the type of player I am so yes wasn't anything like that and I went for the ball and that's clear as day in the replay. You watch it. You know it shouldn't have been upgraded but again that's up to the ref's discretion but I appreciate AB having my back I guess I don't even know what she did. I didn't see that.

Yeah what did Alia Boston get a technical for? Alia Boston didn't do nothing but break them up. I was about to say she just jumped in and did what she should have done. Any normal person that would have been your reaction if you're sitting right there was getting between to separate the ladies. She scored a triple double too 2010 and 10. So kids busy. It was a good triple double but that last rebound she got was whack. She was already on the bench and they bought her. I don't want to hear none of y'all talk about Angel Reese that pad no more. 2010 and 9 Okay, and the irony of her needing a rebound for a triple double, she was on the bench

and came back in the game to get that rebound, so I don't wanna hear y'all talking about Angel Re-Stat Padding no more, okay? We saw Katelyn Clark blatantly stat pad on Saturday. She did, she did. Yup, right, period, exactly. But they were just playing basketball, it wasn't, I don't think it was anything malicious,

they were playing basketball, She was going for the ball They didn't if you were going win it all this year, by the way That was my prediction before the season after I saw all the changes they made to their roster in the offseason They're gonna win it all this year. Well, Angel respoke out to it was really quick You can't really hear her in the audio that we had but she basically she not basically she said basketball plays refs It was a basketball play the refss got it right. Let's move on. This is good for the WNBA the first game of the season. I love it. You know, everybody talking about it.

Yes. Listen, I'm a, I watched the WNBA. It's good for the game. Good for the games. I agree. Cause there's a reason Caitlin Clark, the rivalry is good for the game. It just is. Well in other news, Torrey Lane's, remember we talked about Torrey up here and all the conversations that have been happening now. And there's a bunch of different, you know, people and anchors coming out and saying he was unfair and he was railroaded and all these things.

Right. So there has been a change.org position, position, petition created for Torrey Lane's to help him come home. And there have been some celebrities that have been speaking out about it. Over the weekend, one of the major celebrities that posted about it was Drake. Drake posted to his Instagram and he tagged the link of the change.org position petition. Why do I keep saying position? Probably because we just talked about basketball. No, because you've been in that court with Diddy all week.

Yeah, different positions. You'll be really having to decompress like this weekend. Why do I keep saying position? Probably because we're just talking about basketball. No, because you've been in that court with Diddy all week sharing about all of the different positions. You'll be really having to decompress. Like this weekend I really tried to just like get it all out. Like, hey, yo. So did Diddy. And he wants what you put out on him too as well. No, he wants what you put out.

Allegedly. Allegedly. Well, Drake posted, and he posted it to his Insta story. You could actually click the link to the Change.org petition and it said, At Torrey Lane's come home soon. In addition to Drake, you have a Ty Dolla Sign that spoke out, a Boogie, Kodak Black posted, everyone send prayers for this amazing human, write and support him. Most importantly, pray, sign these positions to get him home.

Gilead posted, there's like now a whole movement because the people believe what a lot of these guys who are saying they were working on op-eds or reached out to this person and that person are saying people feel like he should come home. How's he doing the fact that he got stabbed 14 times and anybody get an update of how he's doing? Yeah, we didn't get it. But yeah, we did. We didn't get it. Oh my god. But yes.

We gotta reach out. We did. She's saying I didn't reach out because I work for her. I'm her assistant. Because I'd be knowing where the news be going. I'd be telling you to do things and then don't happen. But anyway. I'll do it.

But anyway, yes. So Tory Lanez, there's been a report, TMZ report exclusively that he is bouncing back big time after he was brutally stabbed. He says he's on the men. He's feeling much better They say that the rapper was transferred back to the prison hospital within the last few days after getting a treatment at a medical facility in California and they're told that his condition has now stabilized and he's breathing on his own he's able to talk and He's in fair condition at this time. He is blessed 14 times is insane where is the guy who stabbed him well the guy that stabbed him in the same jail yes wait is he in

this just asking me are you saying that the guy wasn't not saying like is he in the same jet like what they gonna do with him that is a great point like what do they do with him after he just tried to have Tory Lane's you don't keep him around Tory this is the second time he's done this before. Yeah he's done this before to another enemy. He's in jail. He's in jail. He's known for that. He was placed on restricted housing pending the outcome of the investigation that they're doing into the stabbing by prison officials but no charges as of right now have been filed. What? All right well that is the latest with Lauren. Charlotte Biden. Yes. Who you giving that down to? Oh we need Donald Trump Jr. to come to the front of the congregation.

We'd like to have a word with him, please. Alright, we'll get you that nexus to Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I'm right now have the song of the day, but I got the Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a Donkey of the Day, here they with the Beaker. Yeah, it's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well, Ed Sheeran, Donkey of the Day for Monday, May 19th goes to Donald Trump Jr. Now, if you haven't heard, President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.

For more on that, let's go to MSNBC for the report please. Former President Joe Biden announcing he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. In a statement his office announcing Biden was seen last week for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which has spread to his bones. The cancer characterized with a Gleason score of 9, which medical experts say indicates the cancer cells are likely to grow and spread rapidly.

His office noting while this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management. At 82, Biden was the oldest sitting president when he left office in January, dropping out of the 2024 race amid concerns over his age and health. Oh, that wasn't MSNBC. That was Good Morning America. Listen, I don't care what your politics are. I'm no fan of Joe Biden, but I don't wish cancer in any form on anyone.

Okay? You either send healing energy or you don't. Anything else is pointless. Well, Donald Trump Jr. decided to be pointless. Okay, he first reposted a message saying, politics aside, we wish a speedy recovery. He reposted that and put agree 100%. But that lasted about three hours.

Okay, three hours later, he posted this message. What I wanna know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup? He wrote that as he reposted a message declaring from a doctor, it's highly likely that Biden was diagnosed as president and didn't tell the nation.

Listen, full disclosure, I thought the same thing but I'm not a doctor, okay? I thought to myself prostate exams are pretty common I went to get a vasectomy consultation back in 2023 and ended up getting a prostate exam. Okay I had my annual physical last week and they drew my blood for a prostate exam. So my point is prostate exams are pretty common so I was just thinking to myself how does a person who sees the doctor on the regular miss the early stages of prostate cancer how is your first

diagnosis aggressive and spread to the bone? That's where my mind went. But once again, I'm not a doctor. Okay. So I don't know. And the best thing when you don't know is just to shut the F up. Because when you don't know when you ask questions that aren't coming from a good place or make statements that aren't coming from a good place, you end up sounding like Donald Trump

Jr. First of all, Dr. Jill Biden, Biden's wife, has a doctorate in education, okay? She's not a medical doctor. So I could easily see why she would miss it because she's not a medical doctor checking for it, okay? Dr. Jill Biden's educational doctorate is for those seeking leadership roles in education, okay? That's what an educational doctorate is, for those seeking leadership roles in education. Okay, that's what a educational doctorate is for those seeking leadership roles in education.

And MD is a medical degree that prepares individuals to practice medicine and diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. That's the difference, okay, for anyone who like Donald Trump Jr. doesn't know any better. Okay, Donald Trump Jr. thinks Dr. Dre can do knee surgery. All right, Donald Trump Jr. thinks Dr. Dre can do knee surgery. Alright, Donald Trump Jr. thinks Dr. Seuss was a licensed pediatrician. He also said, how do you miss stage five metastatic cancer? Metastatic means cancer that is spread. Well, there is one problem with that statement. There is simply no such thing as stage five cancer.

It doesn't go higher than four, okay? Okay, I know every oncologist in America screamed in unison like it was a horror movie when they heard that. Stage 4 is the highest it goes. There is no stage 5 cancer. This is not Dragon Ball Z. You don't just keep leveling up past the final boss. That's not how oncology works. Donald Trump Jr. probably thinks stage 6 is when the cancer starts voting Democrat.

Don Jr. probably thinks WebMD is a liberal conspiracy and that board certified just means someone is good at monopoly. Okay, four is the highest he goes. Four is cancer that is spread through distant parts of the body for the record. Three is cancer that is spread through lymph nodes and nearby tissue.

Two is cancer that has grown more deeply into nearby tissue. One is a small tumor that hasn't spread. And zero is cancer cells found in their earliest forms. Come on Donald Trump Jr. If you're going to be nasty, at least be nasty in a somewhat smart way. The question you was asking is a valid one. Or you could have just reposted the doctor you reposted and left it at that.

He reposted Dr. Stephen Quay, I think his last name is, who said prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastasis. I know I'm pronouncing that wrong. He said it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and first be diagnosed with metastatic disease in May, 2025. It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis

of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed about it. It was perfectly fine Donald Trump Jr. to repost that and leave it at that, let everybody fuss and argue amongst themselves, but you decided to put some sauce on it and ended up sounding like a devil damn fool. Please give Donald Trump Jr. the biggest C-hawk. You're gonna shoot, you gotta shoot smartly at least. At least. You know what's wild, yo?

I didn't even know that Donald Trump had a Jr. Yeah. I didn't know that. I know he had a son, I just didn't know that Joe was a Jr. It's crazy. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today, sir Yes, indeed. Now we're gonna open up the phone lines clear your mind clear your mind clear your mind

I just remember everything getting dark. I'm dying. When we step beyond the edge of what we know. To open our consciousness to something more than just what's in that Western box. And return.

and what it means to truly live. Listen to Alive Again on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, Ed Helms is here. I, of course, was drawn to the LSD story. In the 1950s, the CIA scientists secretly bought the entire world supply of LSD,

embarking on a horrific attempt to discover the secrets to mind control. This is so insane. This was all under like official government activity. They built a apartment in San Francisco that had a glass mirror where he could sit there and watch and then they would drug these customers and he was just sort of taking notes and God knows what else behind this double mirror and this was all in the name of science. This just sounds like a guy off behind a wall. It does. I would just also like to say if you don't have LSD like this LSD can be microdosed. It's like an upper of energy enthusiasm makes you less nervous if I'm going heli-skiing. If it allows me to go

heli-skiing then yeah I'm hella go hella-skiing, then yeah, I'm hella on board. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So I'm going to say it. Why was our, so Taylor's boyfriend was trying to give her a surprise gender reveal party and the damn best friend told Taylor about the surprise because she didn't have nothing to do with planning it. And tweeted, Taylor having a son y'all, no need to come. That is not what she did.

Really? Don't she already a clown, don't make her a clown. Wow. Even with a clown. Okay, okay. Yeah, that would have been so petty if she would have did that. But she told the girl about the damn surprise. That's just as petty.

Yeah, so then, you know, that didn't discourage Taylor's boyfriend. So he was like, all right, you know what? That made Taylor mad. He still reached out to the friend like, all right, look, I don't know why you didn't discourage, um, Taylor's boyfriend. So he was like, all right, you know what that made Taylor mad? He still reached out to the friend. Like, all right, look, I don't know why you told her about it, but I made it seem like I canceled it, but I'm still going to have it. We just going to change the date and, um, and you can still come and everything. Why she hit Taylor and told her again, she's a clown. That's what I said.

She was never your friend. She wanted you. She was so, this was the problem. She, she was so used to having access to Taylor because she wanted Taylor to be that same Single lonely girl went back with Taylor didn't know her worth. That's right when she was a single Girl, yes Really wanted a man really wanted a fan I helped Taylor yes get to where she had today that is true That is true exactly but if you know the Rihanna song, okay Hey, we got to make sure Taylor ain't out here living a little stud life You know exactly because now that she got her boo in the family

Previously she was all over the place How we know that everything how we know this was just a friend exactly She's hurt because she had feelings. Yes. Maybe. Maybe Taylor promised her something else. She opened up the box. Taylor love playing now.

And it was like, no. Opened up the box. She opened up the box. She may have, you know, because it was a lot of things Taylor was going through when I came around. And then when I got her together, now she got a family, she got a man.

And this girl, she is in a relationship, but she in a relationship with somebody who don't even want her. And she want kids, but the guy don't. And now that Taylor got all that, now that she got her life together, it's like, oh no, now she, you know, she trying to separate and she's jealous.

She envies Taylor. Wow, well listen. And Taylor did change the girl's name on her phone to state property. Crazy. I don't know what that means. Wow. Yeah, I don't know. Hello, who's this? What?

Good morning, it's Kiki. Kiki. Hey, girl. Do you love me? What's up? Keke? Talk to us. Come on in. Oh, well, I'm calling because I had this spring. She got pregnant first. She lost her baby daddy and I became pregnant. I had to drive our way or something I hosted for the baby. And I had a flat my man said do not go and see that black thing. So I became late. And after that, I got this whole text message of I'm not a good friend and I don't need that.

She doesn't need my help anymore. Well, 10 years later, she has a family now. And now she's trying to recant with a friendship. I just feel like at the time she didn't you know, she lost her baby. So that I had a family and doing things. She just didn't agree with it. Now that she has a family now, she's trying to come back around. How you feel about that? Stay over there.

Yeah, I kind of feel like I did everything. I put that baby child together when you lost someone and I needed you there for me. And it's like, how do I even introduce my kids now? Like, how do we do that? It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't let 10 years go past. I mean, damn. I mean, I understand the frame of mind that she must have been in losing her child's dad and everything.

Like, and everything, it was fresh. And you know, you, you know, nobody ever expects for that to happen. She had to do it on her own. But to let 10 years go past, that's weird. That's crazy. Yeah, like, hey, I got what I want now. So now we can align again. No, that's weird. That's crazy. Then my mom's like, hey. Yeah, like, hey, I got what I want now. So now we can align again.

No, that's not how I go. That's very crazy. Thank you for your call, Kiki. So the question is 800-585-1051. You ever lost a friendship because of a new relationship? That is the question. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Call, call, call, call. Tell her. Tell her. Man it. Just for some camera sake. If y'all talking about it, you know we're talking about it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club.

Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Now if you're just joining us, we're asking have you ever lost a friendship because of a new relationship? Now this conversation comes from our producer Taylor who recently just found out that her friend really wasn't her friend. Yep. You want to break it down what happened? Yes, she was a jealous clown. She was also just very possessive and obsessed with Taylor. She was used to having access to her but when Taylor got her life together and got a family, she got a man, a baby on the way, these are all the things that the girl wanted and that she was trying to get, you know, but now she's like

separating herself. She was trying to sabotage the situation. She was acting like she didn't like Pat. At one point she had told Taylor like, I'm just trying to protect you. Like, I don't really like like who he is. I fill him out more and it's like damn like because she felt like it's a happening so fast for Taylor and this is something that she's been wanting you know what I mean so that happens though that actually does happen. I hope Taylor don't ever plan to be friends with this young lady ever again. Taylor tried she tried she tried she tried she again she the girl again and again proves how jealous she is

And so Taylor don't want them to do it no more I actually say that now to that girl with that baby registry and ball out That's what's gonna happen that friend gonna go to Taylor's baby registry and ball out then what? Says you've been on both ends. Of what? Excuse me? Pause. I've been a friend that cut somebody off

and I've been a friend that got cut off. But now y'all have added much more context to the story. Like before with the intro, it wasn't, we didn't know about the baby shower and all that. So yeah, maybe she really not a friend. I was gonna say, well, maybe cut it some slack. How long have y'all been friends? Cause you gotta look at it from the objective

and I don't have any feelings for Taylor. So I would be looking at it from like an outside perspective from both sides. But now knowing this, a lot of this baby shower information, yeah, no, she kinda, yeah, I think she might be jealous of Taylor and you might be jealous of yourself. No, no, it was a gender reveal, not a baby shower. Yeah, it was a gender reveal.

Yeah, a gender reveal. Well, whichever, however, either one, yeah, that was kind of bold. What about them both? What about them both potentially maybe being studs? What? She was never a stud. What?

Wait a minute. Stop saying that. No. I was just giving you my contact. No. Hold on, hold on. Listen, is there some things you want to clear before we get about again?

Yes. First of all, that whole state property is stock. This is giving you context. Hold on, hold on, listen. Is there some things you want to clear up before we get about again? Yes! First of all, that whole state property is stock. You said you had her on her phone under state property. No, I did not. This is terrible, ladies and gentlemen. No, I did not. And what about the stunt talk? They would happen.

I would never stud, nothing like that. If anything, I would be a pillow princess. But that didn't happen either. You see what I'm saying? And that didn't happen either. And that happened with this girl right here. That never happened. No, nothing of that ever happened.

No, clear it up. That's all. That's all you want to clear up? Now, what if she go to the, what if she go to your baby This girl right here never happened. No, nothing of that ever happened. No clear it up Now what if she goes to what if she go to your baby registry and ball out to do have it Before I was trying to give her time to get it together because I told her she owes him an apology and she just kept dragging it out. It's been, dang, like six months or so. How long were y'all friends? Like eight years. Damn.

So she's a financially challenged family-less hepa? I did not say that. That is crazy. Yeah, yeah. She just dragged out and I was kind of- So she texted you today and said, look, my bad, I want to apologize. No, she's blocked. and I was kind of... So she texted you today and said, look, my bad, I want to apologize.

No, she's blocked. Sorry, friend. Damn. She's not pregnant enough. She ain't got no man? No, I mean, she's dealing with someone, but like... She don't want him. He don't want kids, and she did. And it's like, leave him alone. Jesus, alright. What all right what's the

Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Well, and good news. I want to send a congratulations out to Jasmine Brown, Jazzy, comedian Jazzy.

Yes, watch Jazzy. That's my girl. Yes, watch Jazzy. She announced over the weekend that they are expecting their second child together. She was at Preakness and I forgot that that was this weekend. Yep, yep, yep. Shout out to Preakness out there at Baltimore City, my city at the Pimlico racetrack. We have Preakness every, every May.

So yeah, it was real big and shout out to Governor Westmore and the first lady Dawn Moore for putting on a lot of the events from the 10th to the 17th. Yeah, Pregnance was real big. It was a lot of people there, but she was there. Carmelo Anthony, everybody. No, no, go ahead. She was there.

It was a ton of names and she looked amazing. She's in yellow. She posted a baby bump and she was like, you know, we doing Pregnance. It's the mom and dad edition where she revealed her baby bump. So sending her congratulations to her. And then, I mean, the news takes a turn because it always just does. Yes. Just does. Over the weekend there was also video circulating of Antonio Brown got into a fight and there was gunshots that were let off. He was detained by police over the

weekend at a fight. He was at a fight. He was at a Aiden Rawls boxing event. So backstory of what people are alleging happened. So there was him and a guy. There's a guy who spoke out. His name is Zol Koranian. I'm probably saying that wrong. You guys will remember this guy because he's the man who got, remember the guy who did the Palestinian protest during the Super Bowl? Oh yeah. Remember he ran up there and they had to like come and grab him during the Kendrick set. So that guy is coming I was saying that he's a person that got into it with Antonio Brown But basically it's only around was there

The video goes viral of him and like this scuffle with a bunch of different people and you hear gunshots go off He was then after the gunshots were off. He was then detained By police, but he was shortly released after if you were trying to figure out where the gunshots came from because there is video multiple videos of this event and with off. He was then detained by police, but he was shortly released after. And people were trying to figure out where the gunshots came from because there is video multiple videos of this event. And a lot of the reports were saying that you could allegedly see a gun in his left hand as he was running. But nothing has been confirmed. So Antonio Brown had to come out and try and clear it up. He said that the boxing event that happened,

he was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to sell his jewelry and caused physical harm to him. He says contrary to some of the video circulating because he does look like he is like just like going off for no reason in the videos. There's a couple people look like they hit him. Yes, but he's yes, he's going off. Police, he said police temporarily detained him and they received his side of the story and then he was released.

He said he went home that night. He wanted to make clear he was not arrested. He plans to be taking legal action and pressing charges on the individuals that jumped him and he's going to keep people posted step by step. And people were wondering, okay, so you're saying that you were robbed, but there were gunshots that went off. What happened? So this man, Zor Karan, did an interview with TMZ and he gave some backstory on what he

is alleging happened. Let's take a listen. What exactly started it? Did you give him a look? Was there like any indication? Listen, I spent 40 days in a Dubai jail because we were out there for Floyd Mayweather fight. He tried to defraud me out of a multi pendant that I designed and I was trying to go talk

to, I was going to talk to Floyd about being an ambassador. Long story short, he gave me something to hold, but then he backdoored and called the police on me and then got me locked up. Three years later, it came to a head at this Aiden Ross event. He went, got a gun, wild, wild gunfire and a hundred and I was spare. And so he tried to steal all from me. It's been, he went, got a gun shot wild fire. And we fight, he shot at me twice, praise me though I wasn't hit.

He runs into me after he shoot me. We've cussing him for the gun, fighting for the gun. We both get up off the ground. When I look up, the police is pointing the gun at us. The sheriff is pointing the gun at us. That's when I throw my hands up, he runs inside and that's when they run after him. Now in the video, like there's multiple

and because people were live and they were streaming and they were doing all the things, right? Cause there's a lot of young Kids there there's one video that reports are pointed to where you hear the person recording being like he that you literally hear them Say he has a gun he has a gun boom the shots go off and everybody starts to scramble in the statement I just read to you guys AB does not address the the gunshots a gun or anything of that nature And there has been no updates on where the shots came from, from actual law enforcement. But yeah, crazy scruffle.

It was so many people outside too, because it's Aiden Ross. Everybody was there. So it could have turned really, really bad. You know one thing I was thinking about when I saw all of this? What happened to all that money that A.B. raised for that man that was lying about being at a job interview when he dropped his kids off at McDonald's? Oh wow. I don't know.

We just be letting things just go. What happened to all that money? What was the man's name? Because he said he was going to give it's. Oh wow. I don't know. He would just be letting things just go. What happened to all that money? What was the man's name? Cause he said he was going to give it back. His name was Chris McDonald. Chris McDonald. I don't know if he ever even got it. No, his name wasn't Chris McDonald. I forgot what his name was. Uh, remember he said he was going to give it back if it wasn't like true. I could reach out to him. I'm going to look that up.

I just wonder what happened. Chris Lewis was his name. That's the guy who allegedly walked his three kids from his apartment to McDonald's and left him while he was on a job interview. But then the police said he wasn't on a job interview and Antonio Brown raised all that money for him. I just wonder what happened to all that money. I'm trying to find the GoFundMe still up.

Wow, I didn't even think about that. Well, he got a lot more to worry about right now, but he didn't say he was going to give it back if it came that the story wasn't true. He was trying to do something good there but yeah happy birthday to Malcolm X it's his birthday would have been what 100 yeah I don't know why those two putting it together just a beat in Michael Baxter's people like people say that he would have been a hundred maybe well you mean like you don't know if he would have lived
