Ami's House

We sat with author and filmmaker  @dineshdsouza  to share thoughts and feelings after the tragic and disturbing assasination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025. We discuss his new movie about October 7th, American on the 24th anniversary of 9/11, and how we should think about free speech in the wake of Charlie's targeted attack.🙏🏼 Support on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/amishouse/postsCheck out Dinesh's new film: https://thedragonsprophecyfilm.com/#charliekirk

In this emergency episode of Ami’s House, we break down the viral clip of Congressman Richie Torres on The Adam Friedland Show. Was Torres unfairly painted as cold and unfeeling, or was Adam manipulating the moment? We explore how comedy, editing, and dishonest framing may have shaped the reaction to this spectacle— and what it reveals about Jewish life in America today.This conversation is about more than a viral clip — it’s about how diaspora Jews are being forced to respond in a culture increasingly hostile to Israel and Jewish identity.If you care about right-wing media, the Israel–Gaza war, antisemitism in America, and the role of Jewish pride vs. Jewish shame, this discussion will keep you thinking from start to finish.Listen to the interview here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6q6s1FYvdvGHWuhDml03Jt?si=21c35b1e636d4f7700:00–03:47 Who's Adam Friedland?03:48 — 05:19 The viral clip05:20–07:20 Gut reactions + Was Adam Friedland trolling??08:38 - 10:49 Grading Ritchie Torres' performance10:50 - 19:55 Reactions to Adam Friedland19:56 –22:11 Does Friedland REALLY not get it?22:12- 21:26 Our REAL problem with Left/Anti-Israel attitude28:25 - 29:55 Why didn't Torres SHRED Adam Friedland here?29:56– 32:14 What does this say about the Dems + Mamdani?32:14–35:32 Groupthink and pro-Israel isolation36:46–38:32 Final take: who really came out looking bad?

In this episode of Ami’s House, we sit down with journalist Karys Rhea to ask a hard question: Are we alienating the last allies Israel has left on the American Right? From the rise of “woke right” factions, to the fallout of October 7, to the mainstreaming of antisemitism in conservative spaces — we explore how the pro-Israel camp risks losing support from its own friends. We get into Tucker, Candace, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, and the usefulness of the term "antisemitic."This is not just about politics — it’s about whether Israel’s defenders can hold their coalition together without pushing people away.Find Kara on X: https://x.com/rheakarys🙏🏼 Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/amishouse/posts00:00–00:26 | The Fracturing of the Right00:26–05:52 | Jordan Peterson’s Warning Comes True05:53–09:18 | Israel, Antisemitism, and Pop Culture After Oct 709:19–13:28 | When Defending Israel Backfires13:29–20:36 | Loyalty vs. Sympathy: How Allies See Israel20:37–27:36 | Tucker, Candace & Friendship’s Blind Spots27:37–33:08 | Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and Antisemitism33:09–41:30 | Charlie Kirk, Pushback, and the Pro-Israel Right41:31–52:06 | Psychology, Demands vs. Requests, and Right-Wing Defenses52:07–01:01:34 | Reorienting Priorities: Iran, Islamism & The Real Threats01:01:35–01:08:46 | Are We Losing Our Last Friends?
