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 the context. The audience was almost entirely Israeli right-wing. Americans flew in to engage with that audience directly. That matters for how you read everything that came out of it.
From there we got into the real unresolved fight on the right: what do you do with Tucker Carlson? Will and I are in complete agreement that Tucker has gone off the deep end. Where I pushed back is whether the people around him — including the vice president are being honest enough about that, or whether old loyalty is buying Tucker cover he no longer deserves. Will’s explanation for why Vance hasn’t fully repudiated him is the most charitable framing I’ve heard. I still don’t think it’s enough.
We also got into James Lindsay and what he’s actually doing with the “woke right” label. Will’s argument is that Lindsay is using anti-Semitism concerns as a rhetorical lever in an internal right-wing fight, lumping serious pro-Israel national conservatives in with Tucker and Candace to win a debate about what the right should look like. I pushed back, because I think there are actors that clearly belong in that category and the reluctance to name them is its own problem.
We ended where I think it matters most: why Jews keep sounding the alarm, why it keeps getting misread as shaming or victimhood politics, and why the patterns we’re pointing to aren’t hysteria, they’re history. The canary in the coal mine isn’t complaining. It’s trying to tell you something.
I came out of this optimistic. Tucker and Candace are self-immolating. The project of building a real, values-based coalition on the right that doesn’t run from its relationship with Israel is alive. This conversation is part of that.

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 the word "evil."
In this episode I break down why I'd rather Israel win the war than the PR battle. I get into why the genocide accusation isn't just wrong, it's a deliberate lie, constructed the same way the BLM and COVID narratives were, designed to invert the story so that the victim becomes the aggressor. I talk about the British Mandate context, what 20+ Arab states versus one Jewish state actually means, how Hamas uses its own civilians as a military strategy, and why the death toll numbers have been manipulated from the start.
But more than any of that, I want to talk about anti-Semitism itself. People think it's a prejudice an ugly feeling some people have. I think it's a lie. And the people who oppose this war aren't anti-Semitic because of how they feel about Israel. They oppose the war because they already believed the lie. That's the order of operations, and it changes everything.
This episode is dedicated to the 1,200 people murdered on October 7th, 2023. Am Yisrael Chai

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 down the tell. The way she responded to the allegations says more than any direct denial ever could. A truthful person doesn't turn a simple accusation into a grand Zionist narrative. It's a tell. A big one.
I also address the DMs I've been getting about becoming less nuanced — more of a shill on Jewish and Israel issues. My response: the genocide accusation is a lie. It's a libel being peddled the same way BLM and the COVID conspiracy were, and I'm done softening it. Watch the October 7th footage again. Remind yourself what actually happened.
We close out with live Q&A: I debut my Omit Seagal impression for the first time, explain why Douglas Murray's chin deserves its own segment, do Mehdi Hasan in full meltdown mode, and answer the question of whether Jews are Arab, short answer, it's complicated, and I break it down.

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 internet noise, of who the good guys and bad guys actually are. I also broke down the Gaza drone footage propaganda playbook and why starting the story in the middle is how they manipulate you. Then, because this show has range: a Groyper drops an article claiming Candace Owens might just be a big ol' lesbian and I have thoughts. Lots of them. Plus impressions of Trump, Tucker, PBD, Norman Finkelstein, Jordan Peterson, and Abdul El-Sayed all reacting to the hijacking story. Don't miss it.

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 rape and mass murder on October 7th were wrong. I also define what I actually mean by "self-hating Jew" because the term gets thrown around loosely, but these two? They earned it. Stick around for listener Q&A, some off-the-cuff rap battles, and a few thoughts on why there's never been a real partner for peace.
Gmar chatima tova, may we all be written into the Good Book of Life.
