President Trump is making things interesting by tweeting that he was going to do an executive order suspending immigration because of the coronavirus. What did people say about that? Did people say, well, from the health perspective, that's a pretty good idea? Did they say that? No, no they didn't. Did they say, you know, given unemployment is so high, that certainly makes sense? Did they say that? No, no, no, they did not. Nope. They called him a racist.

Jennifer Rubin always wants to be first to that. So what did she say? She said, replying to his tweet, "No doubt Trump's base is primarily motivated by racism. This is why Trump does this every damn time." And so I ask you this: Have you ever met a conservative who thought their race should determine public policy? I've never met one.

Now obviously I've met people who are racist and they come in all types. They're not just white. I don't know if I've met anybody that I wouldn't call a racist on some level, you know what I mean? When you talk to people privately, no matter what ethnicity they are, they tend to express preferences. If you ask anybody of any race, are you a racist, most people will say no, no, no, I'm not a racist. They ask the same person, do you have any preferences for dating, and they'll say, oh yeah. Now often their preferences for dating are not even their own ethnicity. It's quite common for people to say, in fact I know several women who say they would only date black men. It's just their preference. Is that racist? Well yeah, isn't it? If you act in a way that shows preference based on race, that's sort of racist.

So I don't know anybody personally who doesn't make their own personal decisions, at least about who they have the same mating preferences for. But in terms of anybody who thinks that the world should be organized that way, I've literally never met anybody. Have you? I mean this is a serious question. I've been deeply embedded talking to Trump supporters of all types and I gotta tell you, people will tell me just about anything privately because I think people understand I'm not telling people secrets around. So people will reveal things to me because I am sort of famously non-judgmental. I've had people reveal to me horrible crimes they've committed, horrible things they've thought, horrible things they've done, and it all just goes into the vault. So it's safe to tell me and I don't judge it. I just think everybody, you know, my opinion is if I really knew everybody's internal thoughts they should all be executed. Everybody should have the death sentence for their thoughts. But we don't do that. There's a good reason for that.

So I've just never met anybody, a Trump supporter, well let's just say Trump supporter or a conservative, I've never met a conservative who thought there should be any kind of laws or public rules or guidelines or anything that was based on ethnicity. I've never seen that. But Jennifer Rubin believes, there's no doubt, she uses the phrase "no doubt Trump's base is primarily motivated by racism." Do you think that's something that somebody could tell from a distance? Do you think, have you met anybody who is primarily motivated by racism? I don't even know if anybody is. It's certainly not conservatives. They're not primarily motivated by racism. I've never met that person.

So what I tweeted about that is that if you think you can read the minds of 60 million people and you can see in them that they're primarily motivated by anything, whether it's racism or anything else, if you could think that you have no doubt about 60 million people's primary motivation and you're so certain of that that you will tweet it in public, you're not operating at a high level of awareness. I won't say intelligence because I don't think it's an IQ issue. There are smart people on every topic all over the place. But clearly there's an awareness problem, like an awareness of reality. How could you go through life unless, again, unless she's just acting? You can't rule out the possibility that, because I can't read her mind, right? So I'm trying to be consistent with the fact that we don't know what the strangers are thinking. I don't know why she does this. It's actually kind of an interesting mystery to me. But anyway, that's enough about Jennifer Rubin.
