Ami's House

Welcome back to Ami’s House and welcome back to Michael Weber, my longtime co-host who’s been away writing a TV pilot he sold to Apple TV. The reunion episode.We’re doing a full post-midterms breakdown together and arriving at something neither of us could get to alone.The post-WWII American Jewish political moment is officially over. Abdul El-Sayed won in Michigan by fully rejecting the Jewish...

Welcome back to Ami’s House. It’s Election Day, and there’s a lot to unpack this week.We start with the 2026 midterms, focusing on the heated Michigan Senate race between Abdul El Sayed and Mike Rogers. I react to Haley Stevens breaking with her own party, Abdul’s controversial 60 Minutes interview with Ross Douthat, and why his answers on Israel and Palestinian statehood leave me unconvinced....

Welcome back to Ami’s House. Lots to cover this week.We start with Cenk Uygur’s ad making the rounds, a couple in a grocery store who can’t afford eggs and bananas because of Israel. I break down why this isn’t just bad economics, it’s the oldest trick in the book: swap out the word “Jew” for “Zionist” and you’ve got yourself a progressive permission structure to channel pure anti-Semitism....

Back at it, delayed episode this week because I was on the West Coast doing shows with Distant Cousins. Thanks for your patience. Weekly wrap up, keeping it casual.Haviv Rettig Gur went on The Breakfast Club and our community immediately started piling on. Stop. Being in the hot seat on a mainstream platform is not easy. The fact that he was given the floor and was able to offer a real...

Will Chamberlain is the VP of the Edmund Burke Foundation and host of the Counterweight Podcast. He came on fresh off the National Conservatism Conference in Jerusalem, and this was a conversation I’d been wanting to have for a while.We started with the conference itself, who was actually in that room, what the speeches were designed to do, and how the clips that made it online stripped out all...

Three years ago today, Hamas filmed themselves committing the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust and then celebrated it. I've spent this anniversary thinking about what happened next. Not just on October 7th, but on October 8th, the moment the diaspora found out who their friends actually were. The confusion, the moral cowardice, the people who couldn't bring themselves to say...

This week on Ami's House, Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg went on Tucker Carlson's show and quietly dismantled every single one of his talking points and I break down exactly how. Once you see Tucker's playbook (the fake confusion, the non-sequiturs, the constant interruptions to derail a point), you genuinely can't unsee it. The jig is up.Then the Candace Owens lesbian story keeps developing, and I break...

Chag Sameach and welcome back to Ami's House, coming to you live during Sukkot, a week of miracles. And what a miracle it was: an Omani co-pilot tried to stab the pilot mid-flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv and take down the plane. Israelis on board stormed the cockpit, restrained the terrorist, and an Israeli plumber safely landed the plane. I used this as a "reality reset" a reminder, in all the...

This Yom Kippur, I couldn't let it slide. Brad Lander stood up in front of a crowd that includes Hamas supporters and asked Jews to atone for a genocide he manufactured and then had the audacity to call it a confession. I broke down exactly why that's not just wrong, it's an inversion of everything he claims to stand for. And then we got into Norman Finkelstein, who had to think about whether...

Shana Tova, everybody. We're in the days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur a good time to reset, reevaluate, and apparently talk about Macklemore getting dropped from the Ed Sheeran tour. Honestly? Best thing that could have happened for him. Nothing makes you a martyr faster than getting kicked off a tour. But to the people celebrating it as a truth-telling moment, you might want to ask...
