Trigger warning, sexual slurs will be bleeped. Now I'm excited. Yeah. Fuck you. You little bitch. This is awesome. All right. So this is a new type of video we're doing.

So if you don't know, I have a number. It's 2028, 202, 202, 202, 202, 202-8104379. One day, I will remember that number, but that day is not today. But you can't call me. You can call me and leave a voicemail, and so many of you already have. And so we were thinking, we have. we have all of these voicemails

and I want you to be just as part of this channel as I am so I'm not going to promise every Sunday because we're trying it for the first time but we're going to try this we're going to see how it does and if it does well and if you like it we'll do it again but we're doing I don't know we haven't named it viewer voicemail voicemail for

tell me what you want this to be called but we do have viewer voicemail and I'm going to be responding to some of the comments from the videos throughout the week and that's going to be the video so here we go but we have I had not I haven't heard these Okay? So I don't know what do you say. And that's true. This is not a sham. I don't know what you say. Okay. Hopefully they're nice.

Hey, Keith, what's up? My name's Adrian. I just wanted to tell you that I actually really like your show. I've been watching a lot. And then I saw the number flash up last week or something. You were, I don't know, people were calling in or something. Anyway, and I thought, why don't I just take the time? Hey, the number's right there. I think you're pretty good. I like the fact that... Pretty good. Pretty good. All right. Well, thank you. I know that sounds crazy, but like decent human, like human with real feelings, real emotions. And I don't know, you come across really well, you're professional, I like you.

People were giving you, you said that people were giving. So it's like listening in your own reviews. Okay. Well, thank you. Thank you, Andrew. And you shit about being gay. First of all, I didn't even know. I don't give a fuck. You report well. You're clear. You're concise. You're on the point. Who really gives a shit? Oops, I'm cursing. Sorry. Who really gives you shit? What? Any of you? is doing, just be you, do what you're supposed to do. Anyway, like I said, I support you. I think you're great. I signed up. I dig you. Anyway, that's all. It's a beautiful day. It's Sunday. I'm praying to all of the people in Minnesota, actually everyone in USA, because we need it. We need to get rid of that piece of manure. Anyway, happy New Year to you. Continued success and you rock.

Anyway, namaste. Well, thank you, Adrian. Thanks for calling in. And yes, let us pray for Minnesota. and yes, I am gay. I'm constantly coming out, but yes, I am a homosexual. I've never done anything with a woman ever. So I'm very gay. Sorry, let's go to voice mail number two. Hey, Keith. We're big fans from the Hoosier State. Not all of us are crazy conservatives. However, we were really interested in hearing all of your reality TV stories. I'd love to hear some more stories. This is super urgent thing stuff. Thanks for your advocacy. We appreciate what you're doing, and you have a strong following. Thank you so much. Well, well, yes. So if you don't know, I started my creative media doing radio, and through radio, I got an offer to work as an associate

producer in reality TV. And so I worked on reality TV shows for, I don't know, like six years, maybe. But I worked on everything from dating shows to travel shows. Some person who considers me their enemy actually posted a show that I couldn't even remember that I did for the travel channel. I worked on a lot of shows, none of which anyone saw. But I did work on the real. Housewives in Miami. That's the one that a lot of people know and I worked on a show for VH1. If you heard of Mob Wives, there's a show that Big Andh was a part of called Miami Monkey that I also worked on. I'm not trying to think like what is like an interesting thing that happened. I don't know. I mean, the only time I've been fired when I was at the Royal Housewives of Miami because I was

in the field as a producer and I had never been in the field before. I was always in the edit. It was just moving so fast. And I'm a smart guy, but I just could not pick it up fast enough. only time I've been fired. It is interesting that I worked in reality TV and I am doing everything I can to try to stop the reality TV president. This comment is on the video about the Nobel committee being like, hey bitch, no one else getting this prize. This is not your prize. Lynn wrote he has never had a problem with sloppy seconds. Isn't that right? I think what you're talking about is the fact that there's been some reporting slash rumors that Melania Trump and Epstein potentially and then Donald Trump got a hold of her. So,

I was just wondering, why don't a lot of leftist people join ICE? That lady came out, that journalist came out and she just got hired out of nowhere. Why don't a bunch of leftists join ICE and make it so they follow the rules and do the right things and overtake ICE with the good guys instead of the bad guys? Just a thought. Thanks. Love your show. Bye. That's a very interesting idea. I don't know why we don't do that, I guess, because I think after that journalist, if you don't know, we cover this earlier this week, a journalist actually infiltrated ICE by applying, just applying.

She's a journalist, left-wing journalist, and she got accepted into ICE than do any background checks on her. They didn't even check her drug test. So I guess that's not the worst idea that if you feel like one way you could help is by joining ICE. and trying to change it from the inside, infiltrate it. I think that's pretty, what's the word? Like, what is the word for that when it's like subversive? It's very subversive. I'm into that.

I'm into that. Don't do anything that will put you in harm's way, though. So if you feel like that's dangerous to you, don't do it. But I kind of love that idea that if you can't destroy it, join it, and change it from the inside, or at least join it and then leave me a voicemail. Let me know what's going on. All right. So, okay, everyone,

there's just a very small moment in a video about Caroline Levitt where I didn't even say it, but I guess you could tell because of the editing. I will say, though, I don't know who this reporter is, but. Everyone has been very into that. And I, I, funny enough, someone wrote his name in a comment. And I was like, oh, look him up. And, you know, I added him Instagram. He had me back.

No, I don't think this person, I don't think we play on the same team. I don't think we're playing in the same league. But we're colleagues because we're both in media, so maybe that's why you add to me. But there you go. Why do officials in the government get rest of their life under the green and take away our Social Security, our Medicare, Medicaid, and health insurance and have no qualms about that? I think the Democrats say to take over and cancel once they leave office. Have a good day.

I don't remember what Congressperson said this this week, but someone actually talked about this, and I think this is true. I think whatever health care they pass, Congress should have to have, the Supreme Court should have to have, the President should have to have. Or, said another way, whatever health care or benefits members of Congress, the Supreme Court, or the president have, we should get exactly. Why do they get to have free amazing government health care? And we don't. It doesn't make sense. I mean, I don't think this is ever going to happen because they also shouldn't be trading stocks. They shouldn't also be able to text us whenever they want for money, but they're not going to regulate themselves. But I guess pie in the sky idea would be really nice, wouldn't it? Not going to happen. But it's a nice idea. Someone on the Trump's

stroke video wrote, I already knew this. Okay, good. Well, congratulations. Some people didn't see it. Some people didn't know. House 4 Blues on the John Oliver's streaming stories that we need publicly owned streaming service. Yes. Yes. The right has Rumble. The right has Fox News. I mean,

the right really owns everything. And we're lucky here on YouTube right now, but we definitely need at least a left owned streaming company or streaming service or a YouTube adjacent platform for just in case. I 100% agree. And if anyone makes it, I'll be the first one to join. I just wanted to tell you.

Thank you for posting this most recent post about Elon Musk and his daughter and stuff like that. And sorry to hear about, you know, the fact that your dad didn't talk to you, you know, for a couple of weeks. I think that a lot of us people who have gone through something similar to that or have gone through exactly that, totally empathize with you. And yeah, keep up to good work, Keith. Love you. Have a loving day. My name's Aaron. Well, thanks, Aaron. Yeah.

So if you don't know, I think this voicemails from a couple of weeks ago, but it's because Elon Musk, Skum has a trans daughter who he has totally disowned. And though I don't know what it's like to have the richest man in the world, be your father and then pretend like you are no longer alive. When I came out at 16, I came out at 16 in 2001. Can you believe that? That's such. I mean, if you're younger, you don't understand.

That was like just over the hump of it being acceptable. Like Will and Grace just came on the air. But my father, it took him a while. It took him a couple. He really didn't talk to me for two or three years. But we have a great relationship now. And so that's another thing. That's another thing about the maggot stuff, guys.

It's like, I don't know. Like, maybe it should, maybe I'm wrong. But if you wait for people and if you're loving and you just kind of accept where they are, people can surprise you. And my dad will, he's like, has gone with me to like gay karaoke now. So he went from like, I think it's a sin. You're going to hell to like going with me to gay karaoke to sing with drag queens. So people can change.

People can surprise you. But you have to be willing to let. them let them get there. Now, the difference is my dad wasn't being fed a spoonful of poison every day. Maybe that's one reason that it informs how I feel about maggar voters, especially the ones that are in our own lives. Okay, next one. Trigger warning, sexual slurs will be bleeped. Hell yeah. Now I'm excited. Yeah. Fuck you. Nick Shirley fucking did what you couldn't, you little bitch. I shouldn't let them know it makes me laugh because they'll never call in again.

Little fucking bitch! You could have punched your goddamn head off your shoulders right through my fucking phone when I seen your goddamn ass trying to talk shit about Nick Shirley. That means you're a goddamn fucking Islamic loving Somali loving piece of democratic, loving asshole, shit sucker. Piece of loving asshole. Shit shucker. Shit sucker.

God, that's quite the adjective. Fuck you! He's Edwards! This is awesome. You fucking just expose yourself in front of a whole bunch of people. And you know what? They're not in the line with you. You deranged fucking twisted in the head, motherfucker.

Here's an example. Come on. This has to be a joke. How you could probably cure yourself. I'm thinking you have gender dysphoria. Euthanasia can cure that. Fuck you, bitch. Sorry, I'm like, I'm literally crying from laughing.

All right, well, I'm sorry you feel that way. We are all actively praying for you. You sound like you have more intelligence than Nick Shirley, so maybe you should do some investigative journalism yourself. And I hope you call back. Pallet Cleanser, okay. Hi, mate. It's Nathan from Melbourne, Australia.

I just want to let you know that we watch you too, mate, and your sense of humor brings a smile to our face because we don't like the bullshit as it goes on in your country. and just want to let you know that we support you out and just keep on doing what you're doing. Anyway, have a good one, mate. Happy New Year to you. Nathan, thank you so much for calling.

And it's very nice to you, but it's very nice. The thing with these voicemails, I'm told that a majority of them or just people calling in to say how much they appreciate the show. And that means a lot. I have really dedicated my life to doing this and getting out good information and good feelings. So it's nice to know that it's appreciated.

So, and that you're like, Like, how is tomorrow? It's like a totally different day where you are. Thank you. And if I'm ever in Australia, I hope to get to meet you. Okay, this comment was about the James Talarico video. Lassie Krague says, Keith, I don't understand why his message shouldn't go in New York or Los Angeles. I'm a non-Christian in Denmark who would vote for this guy in a heartbeat if I could.

Well, you're a non-Christian in Denmark, and that's great. But I'm telling you, a New Yorker in New York City, most of them are not, not. Not inspired by the word of Christ, okay? But in Texas, it definitely is the case. Now, I'm a huge believer. We need to infuse spirituality back into our politics and to the left. I think left-leaning individuals focus more on the things that we can see rather than the things that we can feel. And I think spirituality speaks to stuff that though we cannot prove to be true, we can know to be true, we can feel to be true. Spirituality is very important in my own life. I do think that the answer to all out of this isn't thinking our way out of it. I think there's something else we have to incorporate into our politics. I think L.A. and

New York are, maybe not L.A. can be more spiritual. I think New York is, I don't know, a little too analytical. Hello, Keith. My name is Murray and I'm a Canadian. I live in Canada in Vancouver. I watch you every possible opportunity on YouTube. Guys, this is like making me emotional. This is very nice. I think you're doing amazing, incredible and such an important work. You know, we here in Canada are very lucky to live in a country where, you know, we can express our opinions, our ideas without being shot in the face. And I just want you to know, you know, my husband and I were together for 38 years, 38 wonderful, wonderful years. He passed away 15 years ago. And I just want you to know that as a gay man, as a Canadian, I am so, so.

proud of you take care oh my god okay well thank you wow that's very nice thank you for watching Canada I'm immensely jealous of Canadians and by the way it's hard to immigrate here it's I looked into it it's even harder to immigrate in Canada so the Canadian passport very valuable but no I mean really thank you so much and it does mean a lot I'm trying actually very hard to not cry so thank you thank you hey with that cop at Ice Agent was truly wrong, but I can promise she was a donut's round. Those people that love Donald Trump, my brother, unfortunately, is a Trumper.

And they see something entirely different, even though we've seen him away from the car. You can bet your ass. Everybody else, that's a trumper, he was dead in the middle of it, and she tried to kill him. It doesn't matter what you say. They're that fucking ignorant. See, I think we're going to have a disagreement there. I don't think they're ignorant. And a lot of people don't like that I think this way. I think a great amount of Americans in this country have been poisoned by misinformation. And so they are drinking poison. And so I feel empathetic towards people who cannot see the truth or her being fed lies. Now, I hate the people who are feeding them those lies and handing them that poison. But I sympathize or empathize whichever one is the one where I know exactly how you feel. because my mom is also, I don't think she identifies as MAGA, but she is MAGA. And she says she's a libertarian, but she's definitely very conservative.

What I would recommend, it sounds like you still talk to your brother, and that's great. That is good. Donald Trump wants us divided. He wants us not talking to each other. And so though he sees it differently, it's really important that you still love your brother and you still try to have a connection with him because the way that we win this thing and the way we get through this is not divided, but it's together. and the only way we stay together is by accepting that, hey, my brother is obviously not seeing this the way that I do.

And the reason why is because he's been fed a lot of misinformation. Now, some people are more susceptible to that than others, but I hate the person doing it, not the person who is drinking it. Hey, Keith, it's Kelly from Indiana. I had a question. There's a lot of Indiana. How in the hell, an excuse my language, does Trump get away with killing people and ordering all this illegal stuff? the war on Venezuela without asking Congress first. I mean, he's already been tried for, what, 35 crimes in New York and they still let him run? How does he get away with all this? I don't understand.

So maybe you can bring some light to it. Take care of yourself, all right? I was actually watching the New Yorker interview of Jennifer Walsh, who is, of course, on I've had it. And she talked about this in a way that I hadn't thought about before, which is Donald Trump is doing shit that is awful and inhumane and a war crime. It feels like it's un-American, but it's not unusual to like what we have done in the past. I mean, if you think about, I mean, I love Obama, but if you think about Obama and his drone operations or what we didn't interact is, I mean, it's not an unusual un-American. action. Now, I think Donald Trump is unusual in that we actually have tried to stop him multiple times. He's been impeached twice. Obviously, he got away with the January 6th insurrection. Our justice system at the time was too slow to respond to it. And now I do believe a lot of people feel like he is untouchable.

And I think to some degree, that might be right. And it's one reason why I'm pissed off of Democrats. Because it's like we've spent 10 years talking about Trump bad, Trump bad, and then Trump more powerful than ever. I don't think that works. I think we got to give a completely different message. Thanks for calling. Someone else about the James interview said, I grew up in the poorest place in America. Oh, wow. And as an adult, I moved around the country fighting to God out of poverty. I'm not poor now, but it took me 40 years to get here and I wouldn't wish my journey on anyone. Yeah. Well, a friend of mine did a documentary on maybe you remember Susan Powder, maybe you don't. She was a fitness guru in the 90s and she kind of fell off the earth. I had never

fully understood what it means to be in poverty until I watched this documentary because poverty really is a prison of its own making where you just cannot get enough money to save enough money so that you can eventually, regardless of what happens, you have a little cushion and have a safety net in your own life. And so I don't want to give the documentary away, but it really showed me in a way that I didn't fully appreciate how much of a trap poverty can be. And I I hate when Republicans are like, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. It's like, bitch, if you don't have bootstraps, you can't do any pulling. So it's amazing.

What Pick 2K did here, it took him 40 years to get out of poverty. Accomplishing that is so much harder than what Kim Kardashian was able to create, where she was basically already on third base, and she was able to get to home plate. Okay. Pick 2K. That to me is such a success story. It's something we don't praise enough. We don't really highlight enough. Kylie Jenner became a billionaire. Okay, well, congrats. Your dad was a famous lawyer. This is worth celebrating. And it's incredibly hard to do. So, congratulations. Yes. I live in Indiana, and I never thought about this until the other day. They said they won a civil war. I think we're in that civil war. I just don't think we realize. it because it's different than what we're used to. They're going into democratic states and democratic cities, and they're doing this. And I think it's a civil war.

And we just don't realize it. So tell me what you think. Thank you. Bye-bye. What I appreciate about that and what I appreciate about this audience is there's a sense of we are not looking away from the reality of things. I'm not sure if I would constitute of what's happening right now as a civil war. Certainly, the government has made its own people an enemy.

It's not the first time this has happened. I mean, I think about the civil rights movement and how the FBI investigated and was tracking members of the civil rights movement like MLK Jr. It's not, I guess it's very American to, in some ways, want to go after its own citizens, but this is a different degree in which there is no check on the president. I think maybe what you are feeling, maybe not able to put into words, sorry this is like so, so heavy, but I do think fascism is here. I was watching on David Packman's channel.

He was talking about how a professor who teaches about fascism, I believe he's a Yale professor, left the country and now lives in Canada. Now, I'm talking to you about this, so certainly we're not super deep into this thing, and I don't know how deep it'll get. Fascist movements rise up. They also fall. So I'm not saying this to make you depressed or to be unhopeful, but we have to know where we are to know how to get out of it.

Let's have some reality around this. And that's the thing that I do not think a lot of the mainstream media does. They don't really want to talk about what's really happening. They want to pretend like everything's normal. This is not normal. So I'm glad that you and a lot of the audience understands this is not normal. All right, I think we have one more. Hello, young son.

My name is Martin. I live on Cape Cod. I'm 75 years old. And I just want to say, I've been fighting a long time. Just wait for a voice. and your voice resonates with us who are free. Thanks, brother. Okay, well, thank you.

And I can hear the emotion in your voice, and I, let me just say this. This, if you're not scared right now, if you're not anxious right now, then perhaps you're not paying attention. Every single feeling you're a feeling right now is valid. And if you were not feeling overwhelmed, scared, depressed,

However, what's happening right now makes you feel. If you weren't feeling that way, I would be worried. This is a very challenging time, to put it lightly. But let me say this. If you're feeling that way, it's okay. That is the adequate response to what is happening. Now, don't let that pacify you. Don't let your sadness make you want to look away.

Be depressed, but do not be stationary. We need you. Now, I'm here. And the reason why I'm here is because of each and every one of you, that I have the small power that I do to point some eyeballs at things that I think are important. I take this responsibility very seriously. And you, you give me strength to be strong and mirror back that strength back to you. And there's two things we could do about it. We could get upset, which we do sometimes, or we can laugh about how insane some of these people are. And I think in that laughter and pointing

up the insanity is joy. And the last thing they want us to feel is joy. They want us to be upset and scared, pretending like it's not happening. I do want to say, appreciate also that you felt comfortable sharing your feelings. Thank you for that because you are speaking for a lot of people who also feel that way too and it's okay to feel that way. I'll put this. I'm anxious, been anxious my entire life, but I'm not scared. I'm not scared. I feel strong. I am willing to do whatever it takes to defend our country. Okay. Thank you for calling. Again, I'm not promising we're going to do this again unless you loved it, but I would like to do this more regularly. I don't know if it's going to be every Sunday, every other Sunday or whatever. And

This show really depends on you. If we don't get voicemails, there's no show. So please do call in. I love when you say nice things, but it is important too if you have any feelings about what's going on, or if you have any questions or any concerns about what's happening in the country. Or do you just want to get the thing off your chest? Or if you hate me, that's also fun.

But I think you saw that it doesn't bother me. So maybe it's not going to be worth your time. Anything you think we could be doing better, anything you liked, anything that's on your mind. Call in. It's 202-804379. Thank you to everyone that called in, and I will see you soon.
