Get tweets that have a specific keyword and other optional keywords in python

I am trying to filter real-time tweets from twitter, I have this list keywords=["Alex", "love","hate","hungry","happy"] I want to get tweets that has "Alex" and at least one keyword from given list. my code is below when I run it, it tracks the tweet that contains any words from the list. remember again I want "Alex" as the main tracking keyword, tweet should have "Alex" and at least one of those words "love","hate","hungry","happy".

from tweepy import Stream
from tweepy import OAuthHandler
from tweepy.streaming import StreamListener
import json

# consumer key, consumer secret, access token, access secret.
ckey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
csecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
atoken = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
asecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

class listener(StreamListener):
    def on_data(self, data):
        all_data = json.loads(data)
        tweet = all_data["text"]
        username = all_data["user"]["screen_name"]
        out = open('out1.txt', 'a')
        out.write(tweet.encode('utf-8'))
        out.write('\n')
        out.close()
        print username, " :: ", tweet
        return True

     def on_error(self, status):
        print status

auth = OAuthHandler(ckey, csecret)
auth.set_access_token(atoken, asecret)
keywords = ["Alex", "love","hate","hungry","happy"]
twitterStream = Stream(auth, listener())
twitterStream.filter(track=keywords, languages=["en"])

Let's say you store your tweet in a variable named tweet

keywords = ['love', 'hate', 'hungry', 'happy']
if "Alex" in tweet:
    if any(keyword in tweet for keyword in keywords):
        # get the tweet
