I'm Glad Mamdani SKIPPED It | Israeli Day Parade, Megan Kelly & Judge Roy Altman Exposes the NYT Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

Mamdani skipped the Israeli Day Parade and Ami is relieved. He breaks down the thought experiment that ends every Israel debate, calls out Megan Kelly, and welcomes Judge Roy Altman.

Mamdani became the first NYC mayor in history to skip the Israeli Day Parade. Ami's take is the opposite of what you'd expect: he's glad. He decodes Mamdani's calculated anti-Zionist language, walks through the thought experiment that ends every Israel debate, and fires at Megan Kelly for comparing her Israel shift to discovering she had cancer while calling out Candace Owens' Russia trip for what it really was.

Then federal Judge Roy K. Altman joins the show. He's the author of the New York Times bestseller Israel on Trial and a former sexual violence prosecutor. Using his three-bucket courtroom evidence framework, he exposes the Nicholas Kristoff NYT hit piece on Israeli prison abuse — and explains why the NYT killed a Hamas rape report the day before it ran that piece. Israel scores three. The New York Times scores zero.

Suicidal Empathy | Gad Saad on Islam, Antisemitism, Joe Rogan & How Good People Get It Wrong May 26, 2026

Show notes

Gad Saad's Suicidal Empathy just became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller — and the thesis is as urgent as it is disturbing: the West is being dismantled not by its enemies, but by its own misguided compassion.

Ami sits down with Professor Gad Saad to unpack what's really going on. They cover the Marxist roots of suicidal empathy and how it destroys personal agency, why antisemitism is like a shingles virus — dormant until the conditions are right — and why the concept of "radical Islam" is a comforting lie we need to stop telling. Islam is Islam. Individuals choose how seriously to follow it.

They also get into what really happened when Gad spent three hours on Joe Rogan's show trying to counter a tsunami of anti-Israel voices. Why Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly's turns were genuinely surprising. Whether audience capture and personal slights — not ideology — drive most of these betrayals. And the only real path back.

Joe Rogan's Israel Problem | Gad Saad, "Suicidal Empathy" & When Lies Become Common Sense May 19, 2026

Show notes

Joe Rogan pushed back hard on Gad Saad about Israel and we break down what that moment reveals: false narratives have become mainstream common sense. Michael Weber returns to unpack it all.

Joe Rogan recently had Gad Saad on to discuss his book "Suicidal Empathy" and what happened on that show reveals something deeply disturbing: anti-Israel narratives have become so mainstream that even people without malicious intent are now holding opinions rooted in falsehoods.

Michael Weber returns to Ami's House for his first appearance in months to break down this cultural moment. They cover what Joe Rogan's aggressive pushback on Gad Saad signals, why the "genocide" label has been normalized through propaganda, how the Jewish lobby trope seeps into well-meaning people, and what the real conspiracy is Qatar, China, and Russia funding anti-Israel sentiment in academia.

Plus: a moving story from a Manhattan synagogue that captures just how much has shifted and what it means for how we engage with this conversation going forward.

Tyler Olivera on Tucker Carlson: What Israel Got Wrong May 13, 2026

Show notes

Tyler Olivera just went on Tucker Carlson to expose Jewish communities in Lakewood and Muncie and Israel responded by banning him from the country. Ami breaks down why that was a mistake.

What is the difference between a truth and THE truth? How should the Jewish community actually respond to people like Tyler and Tucker and why does fighting back with emotion play right into their hands?

Also this week: the griper movement (Fuentes, Bilzerian, Ian Carroll) starts turning on each other, AOC's wage theft language games, and what Shane Gillis' Zionist joke at the Kevin Hart roast tells us about where public perception of Israel actually stands.

Tal Oran Calls It Out: Middle Eastern Jew Explains The Truth About Talking to Arab Muslims Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Ami’s House, I am joined by the legendary Tal Oran, better known online as "The Traveling Clatt." As a Mizrahi and Sephardic Jew, Tal brings a unique and often ignored perspective to the fight against anti-Semitism. We dive deep into why traditional institutional approaches to advocacy often fail and how Tal uses his background to directly engage with the Arab and Muslim worlds to flip the narrative.
From discussing the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Iraq to exploring the shared DNA between Israelites and Palestinians, this conversation challenges mainstream perspectives on the Middle East conflict. Tal explains his "slap and kiss" method of debate—tearing down false identities with logic while offering a shared story to find a path toward genuine coexistence.

Who's Protecting Christians in the Middle East? Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki joins Ami’s House to unpack a viral incident involving an IDF soldier desecrating a statue of Jesus — and the much bigger questions it raises about truth, narrative, and how real moral failures are used to distort reality.

At the same time, a deeper shift is unfolding: the rise of the “woke right,” a grievance-driven movement pulling young conservatives toward conspiracy, anti-Semitism, and a fractured understanding of religion, history, and alliance.

It’s a wide-ranging conversation on Jewish-Christian relations, historical memory, and why this moment feels less like political disagreement — and more like a broader confusion about what’s real, what matters, and who actually stands with whom.

Trumps Tweets, Trump Vs Pope, and the Tide Turning on the Woke Right Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

In this episode - Trump goes nuclear on Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and Alex Jones… the divide on the right keeps getting messier… Kanye West enters another phase (and somehow comes out bigger than ever)… and the anti-Israel / anti-Jew grift may finally be hitting a breaking point.

At the same time, a bigger shift is happening underneath it all: the “new media” world that was supposed to challenge mainstream narratives is starting to look a lot like the thing it replaced — audience capture, distorted reality, and a growing disconnect from what’s actually happening.

Is Tucker Evil? Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

In this episode - Tucker Carlson keeps going further down this path where everything feels completely inverted. Candace Owens is deep into her latest arc (and if you’ve been watching, you already know how this story tends to end). Piers Morgan gets into it with Ben Shapiro over “free speech”… and one of the most overused — and broken — ways people are analyzing the world right now: “who benefits?”Break down:Tucker Carlson’s shift — and why it feels like everything is backwardsCandace Owens’ pattern (and where this current phase is heading)The Piers Morgan vs Ben Shapiro clash and the “free speech” double standardIsrael, Iran, and what’s actually real vs what’s being spunTim Dillon and the logic behind the “who benefits?” argument

Yoram Hazony on the Fracturing of the MAGA Coalition Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Are we witnessing the end of the conservative coalition as we know it? Leading political theorist Yoram Hazony (President of the Herzl Institute) joins the show to discuss the identity crisis of the American Right. Hazony breaks down the philosophical roots of nationalism, the failure of post-WWII liberalism, and the specific moment he believes Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens began dismantling the MAGA alliance.

We discuss the rise of "Alt-Right" tropes, the failure of modern anti-semitism education, and why Hazony believes the survival of the Republican party depends on maintaining boundaries that are currently being smashed.

Tucker Carlson Goes FULL Candace Mar 13, 2026

Show notes

This week on Ami’s House, we explore the disturbing trend of moral relativism taking hold on the "Woke Right." We examine how Tucker Carlson is driving a wedge into the Judeo-Christian foundation of American politics by reframing the US-Israel-Iran conflict.

What’s inside this episode:

The Tucker Flip: Why is Tucker Carlson suddenly making apologies for the Iranian regime while labeling mainstream Jewish groups as radical?
Duginism 101: We discuss the "Long Game" tweet by Insurrection Barbie and the philosophical influence of Alexander Dugin on American "isolationists."
Religious Power Struggles: The move to supplant the pro-Israel Evangelical base with fringe "Integralist" ideologies.
Media Distortions: A look at CNN's misreporting of the IED attack at Gracie Mansion and the danger of the "Blowback" narrative.

Join us for a raw analysis of how these shifts are being used to subvert Western values from within.
