“Stop.” She said it — and Candace didn’t. Ami breaks down the Candace Owens–Erika Trump meeting, why it happened, and why it changed nothing. In this solo episode of Ami’s House , Ami reacts to the highly publicized meeting between Candace Owens and Erika Trump, unpacking the manipulation, deflection, and moral sleight-of-hand that followed. What does it mean when someone says they’ll “stop lying” — when no one asked them to stop lying, but to stop altogether? Ami examines the media aftermath, the role of public pressure, and why certain figures refuse to draw clear moral lines even when behavior crosses them. He also looks at how outrage gets redirected away from conduct and toward critics — and why that inversion corrodes trust, credibility, and movements from the inside. From there, the conversation widens: how conspiracy thinking takes hold, how private texts are weaponized after death, and why values can’t be abandoned just because advocates behave badly. Recorded from the road during a national tour, this episode is raw, unscripted, and uncompromising. In this episode, Ami covers: The Candace Owens–Erika Trump meeting and what really mattered Why “I’ll stop lying” is a tell — not a concession Moral cowardice vs. moral clarity in media culture How critics become the villains while conduct gets ignored The danger of abandoning values because of flawed messengers Why accountability can’t depend on who’s applying pressure A sharp, uncomfortable episode about manipulation, credibility, and refusing to play along. Follow Ami’s House for more unfiltered conversations on culture, politics, and the moments everyone else tries to spin.

Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and the cost of abandoning integrity. In this episode of Ami’s House (recorded LIVE on YouTube), Ami unpacks a turbulent week in online political culture — from Candace Owens’ escalating conduct to Nick Fuentes’ appearance on Piers Morgan — and asks a harder question: what happens to a movement when truth is sacrificed for attention? Broadcast remotely from Los Angeles, Ami reflects on courage, integrity, and why calling out destructive ideas matters more than protecting audience size. In this episode: Candace Owens’ pattern of provocation and escalating behavior Why short-term audience growth often leads to long-term collapse Nick Fuentes on Piers Morgan — confronting ideas without sanitizing them The difference between prejudice, racism, and manipulative semantics Why grievance politics mirrors the failures of the far left Truth, integrity, and why movements rot from the inside out A sober, analytical episode focused on ideas, conduct, and consequences — not outrage for its own sake.

In this emergency episode of Ami’s House, we break down the viral clip of Congressman Richie Torres on The Adam Friedland Show. Was Torres unfairly painted as cold and unfeeling, or was Adam manipulating the moment? We explore how comedy, editing, and dishonest framing may have shaped the reaction to this spectacle— and what it reveals about Jewish life in America today.This conversation is about more than a viral clip — it’s about how diaspora Jews are being forced to respond in a culture increasingly hostile to Israel and Jewish identity.If you care about right-wing media, the Israel–Gaza war, antisemitism in America, and the role of Jewish pride vs. Jewish shame, this discussion will keep you thinking from start to finish.Listen to the interview here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6q6s1FYvdvGHWuhDml03Jt?si=21c35b1e636d4f7700:00–03:47 Who's Adam Friedland?03:48 — 05:19 The viral clip05:20–07:20 Gut reactions + Was Adam Friedland trolling??08:38 - 10:49 Grading Ritchie Torres' performance10:50 - 19:55 Reactions to Adam Friedland19:56 –22:11 Does Friedland REALLY not get it?22:12- 21:26 Our REAL problem with Left/Anti-Israel attitude28:25 - 29:55 Why didn't Torres SHRED Adam Friedland here?29:56– 32:14 What does this say about the Dems + Mamdani?32:14–35:32 Groupthink and pro-Israel isolation36:46–38:32 Final take: who really came out looking bad?

In this episode of Ami’s House, we sit down with journalist Karys Rhea to ask a hard question: Are we alienating the last allies Israel has left on the American Right?

We get into Tucker, Candace, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, and the usefulness of the term "antisemitic."This is not just about politics — it’s about whether Israel’s defenders can hold their coalition together without pushing people away.Find Kara on X: https://x.com/rheakarys🙏🏼 Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/amishouse/posts00:00–00:26 | The Fracturing of the Right00:26–05:52 | Jordan Peterson’s Warning Comes True05:53–09:18 | Israel, Antisemitism, and Pop Culture After Oct 709:19–13:28 | When Defending Israel Backfires13:29–20:36 | Loyalty vs. Sympathy: How Allies See Israel20:37–27:36 | Tucker, Candace & Friendship’s Blind Spots27:37–33:08 | Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and Antisemitism33:09–41:30 | Charlie Kirk, Pushback, and the Pro-Israel Right41:31–52:06 | Psychology, Demands vs. Requests, and Right-Wing Defenses52:07–01:01:34 | Reorienting Priorities: Iran, Islamism & The Real Threats01:01:35–01:08:46 | Are We Losing Our Last Friends?

Whether you follow Middle East foreign policy closely or are just curious about the human impact behind headlines, this episode sheds light on how U.S. isolationism can backfire and what genuine support might entail. We cover: Historical Context: Understand pre-1979 Iran, the Shah’s era, and how the Islamic Republic consolidated power. Myth-Busting: Learn why common narratives (e.g., “Argo”) misrepresent key events and how that shapes public perception. Nuclear Threat Analysis: Explore the strategic factors driving Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Israel’s responses, and why timing matters. U.S. Policy & Isolationism: Discover how calls to “avoid escalation” can paradoxically make war more likely by undermining credible deterrence. Civil Resistance & Regime Change: Hear about the growing Iranian protest movements, Operation Rising Lion, and how external support might tip the balance.

Why has Israel failed to win the PR war — and what can be done to change that? In this gripping episode, British journalist and thinker Melanie Phillips lays out a bold new strategy: stop apologizing, stop defending, and start exposing the moral inversion at the heart of modern anti-Zionism. We cover: → The roots of Western antisemitism in intersectional ideology → Why calling Israel a "colonizer" is a complete inversion of history → The truth about Palestinian nationalism and the myth of the Nakba → How to flip the moral script and go on offense in the information war → The missing link between Jewish survival and saving Western civilizationWhether you support Israel, are on the fence, or just want to understand the core arguments, this is an essential conversation for our moment.

James Lindsay has recently popularized the term "Woke Right" and has gone straight at podcasters like Dave Smith, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and many others, criticizing them for using the same tactics the Left used to silence opposition and construct their worldview. But Ami doesn't go easy on James here, either. He pushes back hard on whether James' tactics are any better.Listen to our conversation about the fracture inside the new conservative movement — and he doesn't hold back. In this clip, James weighs in on Joe Rogan’s controversial interview with Ian Carroll, the rise of the “woke right,” how Candace Owens wants to be a cult leader, and the dangers of engaging conspiracy-driven influencers without pushback. 🔹 Why did Rogan’s interview with Carroll spark backlash? 🔹 Is the "woke right" just the alt-left in disguise? 🔹 Is Andrew Tate the Right's form of queer? 🔹 What does James think about free speech vs. propaganda?

Darryl Cooper first earned national notoriety when he appeared on Tucker Carlson's YouTube show to explore the real criminals behind the atrocities of WWII. (Hint: It isn't who you think!)

In 2011, Alex wrote a #1 song that changed his life and changed the world of Jewish music along with it when he became an publicly observant Jew. That song went double-platinum and today Alex nearly 300-million streams on Spotify and 100k subs on YouTube. He also did a Tiny Desk Concert... so, he's the real deal. We dug deep into the myth of "Alex Clare," how his music has evolved since "Too Close," how it feels to get uber famous, working with Rick Rubin, and the evolving state of Jewish music . Check out Alex on Spotify Hosted by @aj-comedy. Co-hosted and produced by Michael Weber.

Ben is the writer/director of the films Boiler Room (2000), Prime (2006), and Bleed For This (2016) starring Miles Teller. Most recently he was the Exec Producer for the ABC show The Company You Keep and has written/directed several episodes for Snowfall on FX, among many other projects. Boiler Room was iconic for many reasons, the biggest one being that 20+ years later it holds up as well as it did when it premiered at Sundance and helped launch Vin Diesel’s career and cement Ben Affleck as a serious actor. Ben has been a huge inspiration for us for us as Jewish creators, and to Mike specifically for portraying Jews on film. It was a thrill to sit down and discuss creativity, Hollywood, and his recent missions to Israel post-October 7th. 🎥 Boiler Room trailer 🎥 Prime trailer : 🎥 Bleed For This trailer ✍🏼 Ben's column for Flying Mag 📸 Ben's Instagram project @IsraelSoWhite Hosted by @aj-comedy .

We caught Madison at a special time– when her unique interests and popular culture somehow crossed. She just published her first book (https://www.amazon.com/Exile-Ecstasy-Growing-Psychedelic-Underground/dp/1401973531) which chronicles her coming of age at chassidic psychedelic festivals in the Catskills, where she reconciled her past– as a Buddhist Jew growing up with Ram Dass her present as a journalist –and what might be her future as a weird old lady selling artisanal baskets in Tzfat. We discussed psychedelics, the creative process, October 7th, and how bored Madison gets talking about drugs.

Where were you on October 7th? Dvir and Maya Rosenfeld were hiding in their bomb shelter with an 11-month old, trying to keep their baby from crying and exposing them to the terrorists that had taken over their hometown– Kfar Aza. They’d soon be the aunt and uncle to orphaned twins, friends of hostages and victims, and among the fortunate few to make it out of their homes alive. They are now unlikely spokespeople for the kidnapped who sadly have no voice. If you’re feeling exhausted of hearing accounts of October 7th, you aren’t alone. But at a time when the events of the attacks are being questioned, it’s never been more important to document the loss of life and humanity at the hands of Hamas. This their story.
