The NAACP was the second organization to issue a travel warning to the state of Florida, The travel advisory was issued due to Governor DeSantis’ bills and statements regarding book bans, diversity, equity and inclusion, and LGBTQ issues. According to the organization, Florida is becoming a dangerous state to reside in if you are a person of color. Governor DeSantis is set to announce his candidacy this week. These organizations seem like controlled opposition to put a smear on his name and announcement ahead of the presidential aspirations.
In the second half of the show, I cover Jeffrey Epstein. In an absolutely shocking story, Epstein was blackmailing Bill Gates over an affair with a bridge player in 2010. Gates was then married to Melinda, and his daughter graduated from Columbia University the same year he had an alleged affair with Mila Antonova, a Russian bridge player who was near his daughter’s age when Gates was 55. Epstein later met Antonova in 2013 and paid for her coding school. In 2017 he told Gates to reimburse him for her education or else he would out their affair.
Looking into Mila, she is a software engineer now in Palo Alto, California. Her LinkedIn page was taken down during my show prep as the story broke. But, her ties to Silicon Valley and her employment look directly related to Gates. Was Epstein responsible for this match?
And in California, trans athletes are being protested over a track meet. And, Ted Cruz goes after Bud Light. All this and more on America Emboldened.

The NAACP has a long history of teaching Blacks to gradually assimilate into White ‘society’, with its don’t rock the boat of White racism, mentality. This was given to Blacks by the NAACP White founders, Mary Overton, Oswald Villard, and William Walling. MLK came along in the 1950s and said, “we want our rights, and we want them now”. So from its founding about in 1906 until 1960, the NAACP did little to confront Whites that were racists, but gave token light-skinned Blacks cush government jobs. Most of the Black masses suffered. Even today, the NAACP’s ‘blame the state of Florida as being racist’, and not the racist Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who took a voting district from Black Floridians a few years ago, but many Blacks voted to re-elect the racist. Who in many ways makes Bull Connor of Alabama look like a choir boy. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
