Responding to Max Blumenthal’s Disturbing Charlie Kirk Conspiracies

In this important conversation in the week following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Ami and Mike sit down to discuss a disturbing episode of Tim Dillon, where Max Blumenthal laid out a half-baked theory on how Bibi Netanyahu was somehow related to Charlie Kirk.

Ritchie Torres vs Adam Friedland

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?

Are We Pushing Our Last Friends Away? With Karys Rhea

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? From the rise of “woke right” factions, to the fallout of October 7, to the mainstreaming of antisemitism in conservative spaces — we explore how the pro-Israel camp risks losing support from its own friends. 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?

She Helped Get AOC Elected... Now She Has a Warning For Zohran Voters– Lucy Biggers from The Free Press

From housing costs and generational frustration to the future of populist politics, this is a conversation about shared concerns, different answers, and what happens when the Left stops listening.If you’ve ever wondered why political movements can inspire and disappoint in equal measure, or how we can address real problems without sacrificing our principles, you’ll want to hear this.🙏🏼 Support on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/amishouse/posts00:00 – 02:00 Welcome & Background02:01 – 05:22 The Generation Left Behind05:23 – 07:56 Almost a Mamdani Voter07:57 – 10:12 Housing Crisis Hits Hard10:13 – 15:06 From AOC to Critic15:07 – 19:27 Capitalism & Socialism Both Fail19:28 – 27:11 Broken Promises27:12 – 30:04 What New Yorkers Really Think30:05 – 39:14 Will AOC win in 2028??

Are NYC Jews overreacting to Zohran Mamdani? (ft. Shabbos Kestenbaum)

After Zohran Mamdani's stunning victory in the NYC Democratic mayoral primary, the Jewish community is raising serious concerns. But can they articulate why? In this deep dive, we break down the real issues behind the headlines and explain what many are struggling to put into words.From his socialist economic policies to his stance on Israel, from his past tweets to his current media-trained persona - we examine the gap between public perception and documented positions. This isn't about personal attacks - it's about understanding the policies and ideologies that could reshape New York City. We are then joined by special guest Shabbos Kestenbaum from ⁨@PragerU⁩ to add some actual informed insight.


🔴 MAJOR CONCERNS DISCUSSED:

→The difference between his current messaging and past statements

→Why "useful idiots" are more dangerous than outright antisemites

→The connection between anti-Zionism and broader anti-Western sentiment

→How socialist policies historically impact Jewish communities

→The role of media training in political transformation

🚨 Can NYC Survive a Socialist Mayor? The Free Press' Olivia Reingold on Zohran Mamdani

Note: The wrong video was uploaded on June 25th! This episode now features the correct interview with Olivia Reingold.

Could Zohran Mamdani ACTUALLY be NYC's next mayor? Join us for on-the-ground reporting from NYC’s Democratic primary Election Day as we dive deep into the surprising rise of Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old socialist and former Students for Justice in Palestine activist challenging the status quo.

*Note: Recorded a few hours before election results were announce.

Reporter Olivia Reingold from The Free Press shares firsthand voter interviews, explores Mamdani’s charismatic appeal versus establishment pushback, and tackles the controversy around his stance on Israel, anti-Semitism, and hate-crime enforcement. We also unpack coalition-building among younger voters, the “abundance agenda,” and what his movement signals for the future of New York politics.

Are Isolationists PUSHING America Into a War with Iran? An Interview with Mark Dubowitz

In this episode of Ami’s House, we dive into why American isolationists are misreading the Iran conflict and, in doing so, undermining their own objectives. Featuring an insightful conversation with Mark Dubowitz– CEO of non-profit thinktank Foundation for Defense of Democracies– we unpack the pitfalls of isolationist rhetoric, explore on-the-ground realities, and discuss what constructive engagement might look like. 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.

Israel Lost The PR War. Melanie Phillips May Know How Win It Back

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 Is Enemy #1 of the "Woke Right" – He Explains What It Means and Why It Matters

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?

Watch as Lindsay connects the dots between online echo chambers, MAGA’s fragile coalition, and the influence of foreign actors on American discourse.
