Ami is back from two sold-out shows in Israel and weighs in on the Clavicular saga with a take nobody wants to hear: stop shaming him, and think about the audience. Ami Kozak is back from two sold-out shows in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Israel is alive, thriving, and inspiring and also, while he was there, so was Clavicular. Now Jewish Twitter is having an emotional crisis about it. Ami's take is pragmatic: he's not endorsing the behavior, the Miami Heil Hitler moment was awful, and the look-maxing lifestyle is not a model for young men. But Clavicular has a massive audience. If a 35-year-old version of him shows up at an anti-Semitism conference in 10 years and credits this trip as the start of his change of heart, the same people shaming him now would give him a standing ovation. So what approach actually moves the needle? He also breaks down why pro-Israel is becoming the new edgy for Gen Z, the difference between an ideological neo-Nazi and a 20-year-old provocateur, and why Yossi Farrow's tefillin-on-everyone strategy is just the Chabad approach at scale. Plus impressions: Jordan Peterson on Trump and Iran, Tucker interviewing Satan, Alex Jones on Clavicular and the Mediterranean frogs, Jake Shields, Yossi Farrow wrapping tefillin on Norman Finkelstein, and Normal Finkelstein — the man who just has regular beliefs. Israel show clips coming soon. Support the show: patreon.com/AmisHouse

Ami goes live: the Knicks championship, Mamdani celebrating capitalism, the Trump-Bibi Iran deal panic, and impressions of Tucker, Mark Levin, Fuentes as a rabbi, and more. Ami goes live to cover it all: the New York Knicks championship win as a self-confessed bandwagon fan, Mamdani and the socialist left cheering the most capitalist event in America, and the Trump-Bibi tension over the Iran deal that has the pro-Israel world losing its mind. Ami's take: take a breath, don't be reactive, play the long game. He also breaks down why Candace and Tucker being popular right now is no threat to people with actual integrity, why the Daily Wire layoffs are not the sinking ship story people want them to be, and the fundamental divide between America's strategic interest and Israel's existential interest in the Iran conflict and why those timelines were always going to diverge. Impressions include: Stephen A. Smith predicting he would be wrong, Jalen Brunson with incredible humility, Trump playing 7D chess, Mark Levin furious at the Iran deal, Tucker Carlson calling Danny Danon to be removed from Israel's antisemite list, and by popular demand, Nick Fuentes going through the entire process of becoming a rabbi at Yeshiva University. Ami is performing in Israel June 24-25 in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Merch launching soon. Support the show: patreon.com/AmisHouse

Batya Ungar-Sargon joins Ami to expose how anti-Semitism switched sides, why the right cleaned house, and what 300 years of forgotten American Jewish history tells us about where Jews really stand. Batya Ungar-Sargon is the author of The Jews and the Left. As she was finishing her manuscript about left-wing anti-Semitism, right-wing podcasters started becoming massive anti-Semites. She thought she'd be a laughing stock. Then the right actually cleaned house. Trump, Ben Shapiro, senators, cabinet members all said Tucker Carlson is not MAGA anymore. Tucker's new audience is Muslims. Candace Owens is bragging about it. But her deeper argument is about America itself. From the first Jew on American soil in 1654 who sued Peter Stuyvesant for anti-Semitism and won, to the founding fathers who saw Jews as the living embodiment of God-given rights, this country has always been different. Three hundred years of American Jewish history have been erased. The soil itself rejects Jew hate. They also cover the ADL's failure after October 7th, why anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism for the vast majority of Jews, the HIAS immigration conspiracy theory debunked, why Britain and Canada are lost but America is not, and Batya's prescription for the Jewish community: stop whining about anti-Semitism and keep Shabbos.

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. Support the show: patreon.com/AmisHouse

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 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 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Candace Owens is deep into her latest arc (and if you’ve been watching, you already know how this story tends to end).

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.

This week on Ami’s House, we explore the disturbing trend of moral relativism taking hold on the "Woke Right."

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. Enjoyed the show? Leave us a 5-star review and support us on Patreon at patreon.com/amishouse.

On this episode of Ami's House, the hosts discuss the breaking reality of a direct conflict between Israel and the Iranian regime. We explore the internal rift in the conservative movement between the "America First" isolationists and those who see Iran as an existential threat to the West. We dive into specific critiques from Matt Walsh and analyze Constantine Kisin’s perspective on the risks of regime change in the Middle East. Was the strike on Iran an act of aggression or a long-overdue act of self-defense? We also tackle the uncomfortable rise of anti-Semitic tropes among "isolationist" commentators and clarify the strategic alliance between the U.S. and Israel. Join us for a conversation on the "3D chess" of Middle Eastern politics and why the fall of the Khamenei regime might be the most significant event since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

"No one is illegal on stolen land." "Ceasefire now." Ever wonder why certain political phrases seem to appear out of nowhere and suddenly become unavoidable? James Lindsay returns to Ami’s House to expose the psychological engineering behind the slogans that are currently hacking our public discourse. While these viral phrases feel like organic expressions of "the people," James argues they are precision-engineered "thought-terminating clichés." Their goal isn't to start a conversation, but to shut down rational cognition entirely. In this episode, we deconstruct the mechanics of "sloganization"—a tactic James traces back to Maoist psychological warfare (Tifa)—and how it has successfully infected both the Far Left and the new "Woke Right." Ami and James dive deep into: The Brain Hack: Why six-word slogans are more effective than 60,000-word logical arguments. The "Woke Right" Infection: How elements of the conservative movement have adopted the identity politics and grievance tactics of the Left. The Death of Charlie Kirk’s "Big Tent": An analysis of the internal fracturing of the MAGA coalition. The Marketplace of Conduct: Why we are moving away from an argument of ideas and into a battle of scripted provocations. The Silence on Iran: Why viral activism remains deafeningly quiet regarding the Iranian regime. Are you repeating your own beliefs, or are you repeating a script?

JD Vance sparked an uproar in the Jewish community this week with a Holocaust Remembrance tweet that notably omitted any mention of the Jewish people. Was it a simple mistake, or a symptom of a larger shift in right-wing media? Today on Ami’s House, we discuss the "Woke Right," the growing skepticism of viral internet clips like the Ilhan Omar "spraying" incident, and why both sides of the aisle are becoming increasingly obsessed with proving their own grand conspiracies. Join us as we try to make sense of the chaos. Listen for: Analysis of the JD Vance/Holocaust controversy. The psychological need for a "Fascist State" on the Left vs. the Right. Investigating the Minnesota ICE incident. Why we must remain skeptical of everything we see on the internet.
