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.

Arnie wants people to understand that none of us is truly "self made" when we succeed; he stresses the importance of giving credit to the many people along the way who support a person's success. They discussed the lessons of the Stoics, particularly Marcus Aurelius, which is where much of Arnie's brilliant wisdom and drive comes from. Go check it out. He's an amazing human being.

Love him! Great interview! 🎉

[@djvycious]

Love Arnold! I'm glad he and the directors just embraced his accent. Obviously it's become part of his action hero legacy, and it's so easy to weave into the plot. 'I'm a cop in New York, but I grew up in Austria". Any confusion has been averted!

I'm a grown, 50+ year-old man. Arnold was one of my most cherished childhood heroes. And he still is to this very day. Truly a living legend, and the living embodiment of _"The American Dream."_ Never-ending source of inspiration. What am amazing life he's lead. A life that he built. A legacy that will never be forgotten. His video address to the Russian people, after the invasion, had me in tears.

[@076Hammer]

He's a hypocrite - he's always lecturing other people on the environment but he drives around in a huge car.

I could listen to all the stories from this great man. When you come from the WW2 era we have much to learn from these men and women cause it looks like we’re headed closer and closer that way these days. But anyways keep getting out there Arnold love hearing about your life and what you can teach us. 🙏🏼

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

"I need a vacation!" from T2 was an ad lib. Funny AF. He has come so, so far from "Hercules In New York." The first time I saw him was in an appearance on the old Phil Donahue Show. He was funny as hell, and the live audience there was eating it up.

[@LA2047]

I used to actually be 300+ pounds and the way Trump looks is faaaar closer to when I was 340 than my current 210. No way in hell that dude, at 6'3", is 215. Not a chance in hell.

[@robomnemonic3751]

lol he is not 6'3

[@jengsci8268]

@@robomnemonic3751 Jah, 6' 2 I think. And not a chance in hell he is 215 no matter how tall he is. But ya know he inflates and deflates facts to suit himself. Both Obama and Hillary have IQ's of 140. There is no way DJT is up at that same level. Not sayin' he's stupid, just sayin'.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Starts with DT not being taller than maybe 6'1". And 215 was probably the number his wife said he should state. She's Slovenian and over there they use metric units, so she meant kilograms, not pounds (1 kg = 2.2 lbs)😊

Great interview, good to see our former California Governor in good health. I remember reading in the newspaper that Arnold visited my former Street Repair Road Crew with the City of San Jose that I worked for in the 1990's when he first became Governor, he was raking hot 400 degree Asphalt in his Khaki's, at least he is not afraid to get his hands dirty.

Just watched a KZbin short a couple of days ago, in which Arnold taught us how to get nutrients absorbed by our muscles faster: speeding up blood flow with Austrian schnapps, which makes sense. Dude is still cool as hell at 76. 😂

Exactly, he wasn't born in the US. Which makes him Austrian. Am I going to fast for you? Also, "american" isn't a nationality, of course United States of America is not a country name either, it's just a description (and rather piss poor at that).@@Tessmage_Tessera

I loved Arnold's very wise methods of parenting, I had to laugh a few times as I was reminded of my Hungarian mother and the first time I learned that she has eyes on the back of her head. Love ya Arnold

[@selah71]

LOL!!! I told my kids the same and they called my bluff so I said very seriously, "Yes, I do. You want to see them?" Then turned my back and started parting the back of my hair. They left the room screaming because they didn't want to see those extra pair of eyes. I doubled over laughing. They were so freaked that I told them it was only a joke. To prove it I turned around to part my hair so they could see there wasn't a pair of extra eyes and again they ran away screaming. I laughed so hard while also feeling bad for them. So right away I put my hair in pigtails so they could see for sure. Was years ago and I'd forgotten this. Thank you for helping me remember!
