So you get real spiritual real fast if you're going to do this type of work.

It's a very interesting... Yeah, this one, and I remember, Vin, you DMed me. I appreciate that very much. You were very touched by this. Yeah, big time. At the time, people were, you could hear the murmurs in the crowd. These are men twice my age. Yes. Just a simple statement. They're like, whoa. Yeah. What a concept. Oh. Yeah. I mean, this is not, you know, these are, these are.

There have been a couple times in meetings where people have, the closest thing I could say, whereas a person of wealth would ask me to do something. And I would say, I can't, I can't, this is not an exchange of goods and services. I can't do something in exchange for you paying me to do it. That's not how I work as a journalist. I have to operate impartially without fear.

And when the person realized where I was coming from, they kind of backed off. They're like, oh, no, that's okay. I almost feel like they're concerned that I'm going to record them trying to bribe me, which I would. Of course, that's who you are. So when they realized, when they danced on that precipice and they realized where I was coming from, I think they realized, oh, Keith could expose me.

And to their credit, they back off. And there's that interesting dance where maybe they're in their minds trying to corrupt me, but they then realize I could expose them. So there's been that.

I don't even know anymore. I'd say the truth... I did a story on Pam Bondi. That's exactly what I'm doing with this. I took a hit. I think I tell stories by way of example because I think it's better than abstractions. I did a story on the Attorney General of the United States. That was hard for me because I don't dislike her or like her. It's not about whether I like someone or dislike them.

It's about whether the public has a right to know the information I'm exposing. I tend to have been branded as a conservative only because I felt the legacy media in the last decade and two decades has been not telling the truth. And if you do tell the truth, then you're branded as a right winger. But I don't even know what these terms mean anymore.

I really don't know what it means to be a liberal or conservative anymore. Do you? I don't understand.

I'm a very strong First Amendment. Perhaps one could say absolutist. on the First Amendment, with some exceptions. So I would say I believe in, for example, one of my values and virtues is I believe in equal justice before the law. I think the law should, I know that it's impossible, but we should try to emulate this. The law should treat people equally.

Some would say that's a conservative value, right? That's an American and quite conservative value. And I also believe in the freedom of speech. And I'm an absolutist when it comes to that.
