In this episode of the New Dad Order podcast, Ray, Parfait, and returning guest Tony Maska, dive into a powerful conversation surrounding the Epstein files, global politics, and the growing questions around truth, power, and media narratives.The discussion begins with reactions to the Epstein documents and the frustration many feel about redacted information, missing details, and unanswered questions. Why do the files feel incomplete? Why are key names still hidden? The conversation explores the fear, legal pressure, and potential risks that may prevent victims from speaking out, even when given opportunities and support.From there, the episode expands into a broader discussion about power structures and influence. Tony shares insights from his background as an attorney, explaining how high-level individuals and institutions may operate behind the scenes, and why full transparency is often difficult to achieve.The conversation then shifts into global events, specifically the growing tensions involving Iran, U.S. foreign policy, and energy control. The hosts break down the connection between oil, economic strategy, and military decisions, questioning whether current events are driven by national security, financial interests, or a combination of both.A major theme throughout the episode is media trust. The hosts examine how narratives are shaped, how messaging can influence public perception, and whether Americans are being distracted from deeper issues happening both domestically and internationally.As fathers and leaders, Ray and Parfait bring the conversation back to its core purpose — understanding the world we live in so we can better guide the next generation. This episode challenges listeners to think critically, ask questions, and look beyond headlines to form their own informed perspectives.If you’re interested in the Epstein files, U.S. politics, Iran conflict, media influence, and real conversations about truth and accountability, this episode delivers a raw and thought-provoking discussion.✦ Sponsored ByBurns Estate Planning & Wealth AdvisorsPresident & CEO: Ernie M.
