Arnold Schwarzenegger on Trump Weighing 215, the Writers’ Strike & Being a Strict Dad

Arnold talks about being the Governor during the 2007 writers’ strike, how he almost said his famous “I’ll be back” line differently in the movie, taking accent removal lessons, Trump listing his weight at 215 lbs, why he’s still a proud Republican, his new book Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, working as a bricklayer in LA, filling in neighborhood potholes himself, his daughter Katherine having another baby, getting a pet pig, and being a strict dad.

The man came to America without speaking the language. Worked hard, became a world star and a governor. Very inspirational

[suddenrushsarge]

His statement about working together is probably the most meaningful thing I've heard lately.

Being an 80s kid, Arnold is almost like family. Never thought I'd be paying so much attention to him talking about time and child management. Why are all the inspiring people getting old? Congress needs an Arnold to go there and unscrew some light-bulbs or lock the doors until an agreement is settled.

Man...Arnold needs to do a podcast.
I can listen to him talk all day. Such great stories 👏

[justwhenithought]

Arnold is a great story teller and a good man. Too bad, they don't make Republicans like this any more.

[seanys]

He shows a lot of humility, especially the ability to laugh at himself, for someone who has had so much success and has been at the very peak of so many of his attempted fields.

[rossdevin]

I would vote for Arnold so fast if he could run. He is so right we are all Americans, no matter if we are Republicans or democrats, we need to work together as one nation.

[JasonB]

Arnold's parenting style is immaculate. He didn't throw a fit or beat his kids. He simply gave warning and if they failed to course correct he followed through. The principle of actions and consequences.

[patriciarobledo]

Wow, big respect for Arnold! Please, politicians, open your minds and listen to this man, he is not a joke.

[drake]

We need more people like Arnold. He's a very wise and kind gentleman.

[theblackenedphoenix]

“I do as well as I can.”

Arnold’s accent is partly what makes him so endearing. I’m glad he never lost it.

[elijahmwebi]

This is the dad everyone deserves. So gentle and allows you learn. And when you learn the lesson sticks.

[misterdoctor]

Arnold is surprisingly charismatic. one of only a couple republicans that I would actually like to "have a beer with". I wouldn't agree with him on a lot of things but I have respect for people who can come to the table with sincerity which seems increasingly rare

[apeman]

Every time I hear this man speak I gain more respect for him.

[theblckdg]

Arnold may not be a natural born American, but he's truly a national treasure for our country. He's a great example if you work at it, you can become great. You can come from almost nothing - and make something huge for yourself in life. :)

[paulhubbard]

He so positive and loveable.just a genuine guy.he couldve let his size go to his head and form an ego based on it but hes so humble and sweet.good man

[HermitLady]

My late dad is Austrian. I never miss an opportunity to hear Arnold speak, he brings me a smile. 💞🤟💞

[tfajsh]

Arnold has so much work ethic and motivation. I have tons of respect for this dude.

[jamesmurdoch]

WOW !!!!
So Naturally Charismatic, Funny and yet Humble.
True GENTLEMAN.
Arnold (NUMERO UNO)

I wish more people looked at the world like Arnold. He believes in hard work, taking ownership of what we're responsible for, and working together despite our differences -- and sometimes even leveraging those differences -- for the greater good. He's the kind of role model modern American men can look to and emulate to be good people. All this Alpha Male stuff on the internet today, all the ways we attack each other... he's right. We have to work together. We have to look out for the people as well as the systems that support us. We need balance.
