b"In the season 1 finale, Russ and Norm talk about the latest developments in the impeachment inquiry as well as the allegations being thrown around by the president and his supporters that Joe and Hunter Biden were up to something shady in Ukraine. Russ describes what he calls 'Epstein Brain', a condition that causes him to obsess about Jeffrey Epstein and the lack of answers about his potential co-conspirators and the impunity they enjoy. Finally Russ asks his dad about a much beloved, adopted member of their family, Rita, a house keeper and nanny that took care of Russ and his sister from the time he was 2 weeks old. Norm and Russ' mom first hired Rita as an undocumented immigrant and eventually helped her get a legal residency through Ronald Reagan's amnesty policy. Russ asks Norm how he reckons this decision and his affection for Rita with his current conservative views on immigration."
