Finkelstein & Finkelstein is a political podcast hosted by a father and son with divergent political views. Norman is a conservative, 76 year old lawyer and former NYPD Lieutenant who voted for Trump and thinks he's doing a good job in office. His son Russ is a journalist and documentary filmmaker who has covered politics and social issues across the US and around the world. Suffice it to say they don't see eye to eye on much in the way of politics. Each week, Russ gets Norman's take on a subject in the headlines in an effort to understand his father and the perspective of conservatives in general. In an era where politics have become an increasingly polarizing subject, Finkelstein & Finkelstein strives to foster a dialogue, using a father-son as it's foundation, to help understand and be able to discuss the nuances and passions of our current affairs.

Episode 15 - Comrade My Pillow Guy
Russ and Norm discuss why Biden and the Dems aren't delivering on their promise to send out $2000 stimulus checks ASAP. Norm shares his thoughts on the current state of the Republican party and what's to be done with Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Trump base. And then Russ explains how Facebook is censoring ads he's tried to buy to promote the podcast, essentially putting the podcast on the same side of the free speech / censorship debate as Rudy Giuliani and Mike "My Pillow Guy" Lindell.
