Ami's House

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...

Abdul El-Sayed made the rounds on The Breakfast Club and said absolutely nothing. No limiting principles, no prescriptive ideas, just platitudes, it just shouldn't be this way, we need to do better, working people, disrupt the system. I broke down why this empty left-wing MO never goes away and why the podcast circuit has become exactly what it replaced. Then there's Brad Lander, who showed up to...

I jumped on for a bonus live stream because this couldn't wait. A clip of JD Vance at the RJC is circulating, he's asked about Tucker Carlson and his answer is that we should be able to remain friends with people we have political disagreements with. I have a problem with that framing. The objections to Tucker are not political disagreements. We're not arguing about tax rates or military policy....

Tucker Carlson doesn't know if algebra is real. I'm not joking, the same guy who constantly talks about the decline of Western civilization and how China is beating us in STEM isn't sure if math was invented by humans. Meanwhile, Macklemore performed at MetLife calling for a free Palestine. This is the Same Love guy, the one who built his career on LGBTQ anthems. Macklemore, the people you're...

I'm coming to you remotely today, it's that limbo week between camp and school. Two stories I had to get into.First, the JD Vance Hamptons fundraiser. A lot of people in the Jewish community reacted as if Vance was raising money at the home of a Tucker Carlson investor. I get the alarm bells, but I want to get it right: it was an RNC fundraiser, Omid Malik's involvement with the Tucker Carlson...
