Venezuela didn’t collapse overnight — it voted its way there.

In this episode of Ami’s House, we’re joined by Daniel DiMartino, a Venezuelan-born economist and fellow at the Manhattan Institute, to explain how one of the richest countries in the world unraveled into authoritarianism, poverty, and mass exile.

Daniel walks us through what it was actually like to grow up in Venezuela as power slowly centralized, institutions weakened, and socialist policies hollowed out a once-prosperous society — all through democratic means.

We discuss:

• How Venezuela went from top-10 in economic freedom to near the bottom

• Why oil wealth failed to prevent collapse

• The difference between Venezuela and Iraq-style regime change

• What American debates about socialism and executive power often ignore

• Why Venezuelans overwhelmingly reject the Maduro regime

This is a sober, firsthand conversation about incentives, power, and the slow erosion of democratic guardrails — and why Venezuela matters far beyond South America.

2025 broke a lot of illusions. A sober look back at a disorienting year — and what comes next.

In this episode of Ami’s House, Ami and Michael reflect on 2025 and look ahead to 2026, unpacking the collapse of trust in media, the fracturing of political coalitions, and the growing realization that many voices people relied on were never built to carry that weight.

They talk candidly about disillusionment with podcast culture, the right’s internal split over Israel, the speed of AI-driven change, and why the next phase isn’t about louder narratives — but discernment, integrity, and community.

This is a grounded, end-of-year conversation for listeners who’ve been paying attention and trying to make sense of how quickly everything shifted.

Ami continues his firsthand AmericaFest 2025 recap with a deep dive into the tensions behind the scenes at Turning Point USA.

This episode unpacks:

• Ben Shapiro’s speech — and why it changed the room

• The growing divide between ideas and fandom

• How free speech absolutism gets stress-tested after victory

• Why naming the problem reduced tension instead of inflaming it

A clear-eyed look at leadership, responsibility, and what conservative politics risks becoming if it loses its bearings.

This is Part 2 of the AmericaFest series.

Part-1: The Groypers. Ami breaks down what really happened behind the scenes at AmericaFest.

After years of watching Turning Point from the outside, Ami attended Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2025 as a VIP guest — backstage with speakers, organizers, and media figures, and on the convention floor where online politics become real life.

In this first part of a two-episode series, Ami and Mike reflect on what surprised him most:

• What AmericaFest actually feels like from the inside

• How conservative politics, religion, and internet culture are merging

• Why antisemitism is no longer fringe — and how it spreads offline

• What changes when extremists stop being anonymous

• Why conversation may work where institutions don’t

This isn’t a viral takedown or a highlight reel. It’s a thoughtful, firsthand account of a movement in flux — and how being there reshaped Ami's thinking.

Part 2 will explore the internal fault lines between figures like Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and Tucker Carlson, and what those tensions mean going forward.

“Stop.” She said it — and Candace didn’t.

Ami breaks down the Candace Owens–Erika Trump meeting, why it happened, and why it changed nothing.

In this solo episode of Ami’s House, Ami reacts to the highly publicized meeting between Candace Owens and Erika Trump, unpacking the manipulation, deflection, and moral sleight-of-hand that followed. What does it mean when someone says they’ll “stop lying” — when no one asked them to stop lying, but to stop altogether?

Ami examines the media aftermath, the role of public pressure, and why certain figures refuse to draw clear moral lines even when behavior crosses them. He also looks at how outrage gets redirected away from conduct and toward critics — and why that inversion corrodes trust, credibility, and movements from the inside.

From there, the conversation widens: how conspiracy thinking takes hold, how private texts are weaponized after death, and why values can’t be abandoned just because advocates behave badly.

Recorded from the road during a national tour, this episode is raw, unscripted, and uncompromising.

In this episode, Ami covers:

• ​The Candace Owens–Erika Trump meeting and what really mattered
• ​Why “I’ll stop lying” is a tell — not a concession
• ​Moral cowardice vs. moral clarity in media culture
• ​How critics become the villains while conduct gets ignored
• ​The danger of abandoning values because of flawed messengers
• ​Why accountability can’t depend on who’s applying pressure

A sharp, uncomfortable episode about manipulation, credibility, and refusing to play along.

Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and the cost of abandoning integrity.
In this episode of Ami’s House (recorded LIVE on YouTube), Ami unpacks a turbulent week in online political culture — from Candace Owens’ escalating conduct to Nick Fuentes’ appearance on Piers Morgan — and asks a harder question: what happens to a movement when truth is sacrificed for attention?

Broadcast remotely from Los Angeles, Ami reflects on courage, integrity, and why calling out destructive ideas matters more than protecting audience size.

In this episode:

• Candace Owens’ pattern of provocation and escalating behavior

• Why short-term audience growth often leads to long-term collapse

• Nick Fuentes on Piers Morgan — confronting ideas without sanitizing them

• The difference between prejudice, racism, and manipulative semantics

• Why grievance politics mirrors the failures of the far left

• Truth, integrity, and why movements rot from the inside out

A sober, analytical episode focused on ideas, conduct, and consequences — not outrage for its own sake.
