Declared that susan rice is guilty of a crime. What crime . Didnt say. With the same zero facts he says that bill oreilly is innocent. Im going to get to bill later in the show. Let me say a couple words about susan rice. The right wing media wants to burn susan rice at the stake for doing her job. Thats it. Susan rice was our National Security adviser. To give good advice, you gotta ask good questions. Especially when fishy looking stuff lands on your desk. Okay . Finding out for yourself the names of sketchy people doing possibly sketchy things is called unmasking. Okay . It doesnt mean revealing that to the world. That would be illegal. It does mean revealing those names to yourself at your desk so you can do a better job advising the president. As best we can tell, thats all she did. Her job. If she were a terrible person, up to no good, trying to ruin donald trump, you know what she would have done, what she could have done . She could have called a press conference in the middle of the election, like james comey did from the fbi. She could have run around screaming bloody murder. Look what i found, look what i found. She didnt do that. She got very disturbing information and she looked into it. And as best we can tell, she did her job inside the proper channels. Donald trump should give susan rice the president ial medal of freedom. Comey would have created a firestorm and possibly wrecked his campaign. Republicans should love susan rice. They should thank susan rice. Thank you for being a professional. Instead, theyre throwing fits. Why . Maybe they dont want you to think about what susan rice unmasked. People on trumps team possibly playi ining footsy with bad guy from russia. Jared kushner is the opposite of susan rice. He has zero qualifications for his job, except he married ivanka. Nobody even knows what his job is. He is wandering around the world, riding his tricycle ash the world saying, god knows what to god knows who. Okay . Trained diplomats worry that one wrong word could put us on a path to war. We have no idea what kind of messes jared is out there creating right now. If republicans are concerned about the proper function of our government, they should call hearings on jared and his role and point to susan rice as an example of how to follow protocol. How is that for a messy truth . How is that . [ applause ] let me welcome to the stage somebody who knows how to run government the right way, because he ran this beautiful state of california very well for two terms, the one and only governor arnold schwarzenegger. In the house [ applause ] doesnt get any bigger than that. Wow. Thank you very much for the nice introduction. Glad to have you here. Thats the way i wrote it. I like the now you are starting with the accent. I try. Thats funny. We have had a great day today. He knows, its a hard accent to mimic. We had a great day. We started out dealing with young people. You are so passionate about the young people. We have students here. We have people from your institute at usc, a bunch of students are here. We also have young people from your program, your afterschool program, after school all stars. Give a round of applause for the young people who he is lhelping every day. Thank you for being here. It means a lot. [ applause ] i watched you. You didnt know i was watching you. But when we were together and you were looking at those kids, i was looking at you. You love those kids. You love those kids. I want to ask you a question. Do you think that Donald Trumps budget reflects the values of a man who loves kids the same way that you do . Well, look, i understand when people have budget problems and we try to cut down the deficit and all of those kinds of things because i have gone through it when i was governor. The fact of the matter, when you try to cut the budget, the first thing is you cut childrens programs, especially afterschool programs that are so important to our families, to our kids, and you try to balance the budget on the backs of those kids, i think theres something wrong. This is why i spoke up. And this is why i challenge him on that. I think its extremely important that we do everything that we can to get this 1. 2 billion back in the budget. The kids need it. Afterschool programs is an extraordinary great, great program. He has talked so much about the making America Great. I just feel like taking that 1. 2 billion away from the kids is not making America Great. Its hard to argue with that. [ applause ] are you going to go and fight . Republicans were saying, we dont like trump. As soon as he got in there, they fell over. Are you going to go to d. C. And do something about it . Are you hoping and praying . First of all, let me just tell you that the history of this is after bill clinton has made it possible that we have money in the first place, every president since then has taken it out of their budget. I remember president bush took it out. We immediately went back to washington and lobbied. And we brought democrats and republicans together. You will do that this time . We did it also after that, we did it again with obama. We did it now we will go and get organized again and do it again. Its that simple. Were not going to let anyone take that money away, because this is what helps kids so much to have a program after school. Because 70 of the kids come from homes where both of the parents are working. Governor, you got a big heart. You care and you are out there for the good stuff. Yet, donald trump doesnt seem to see you in the good way that you do, and the way we do. Here is what donald trump had to say about you. I want to get your reaction. He said this at the National Prayer breakfast. Hired and schwarzenegger to take my place. We know how that turned out. The ratings went right down the tubes. Its been a total disaster. And mark will never, ever bet against trump again. I want to just pray for arnold if we can for those ratings. Now, this is the president of the United States. You are laughing. You are laughing. He is laughing. I think its funny. [ applause ] the president of the United States in a Prayer Breakfast says this. Why do you think its funny . I think its funny he uses a Prayer Breakfast. Plus, you know, i have thick skin. This doesnt bother me at all. Its very funny. It gave me an opportunity to go and shout back and say, you know, the show didnt do well because onethird of the audience left because they boycott because you are the executive producer, donald trump. If you not open up your mouth and tell everybody that you executive producer, we would have had great ratings on the show. But they advertisers left. The audience left. They hate the guy. They left. So i was caught in the middle of this political thing there. Thats yeah said im not going to do the show again. I will challenge you. A lot of republicans who think like you, who maybe have moderate views, there were 16 of them, 17 of them on themowed th down. How does it make you feel when you think about the fact that the party those republican voters, they may not like your show. They sure like donald trump. Thats perfectly fine. I think that donald trump won the presidency. I called him right after he won. I said congratulations. You are now our president. Anything i can do, i will be helpful. If you are successful, we all are going to be successful. I say the same thing also about obama and the republicans when i went to the republican fundraising in california. Obama just won. I said to them, i said, now we all have to go and help obama be successful. I said, because he is our president. The people have spoken. I believe in a democracy and our Voting System and everything like that. They ooh and aah. No, no, no. Its extremely important that we think of it as americans here, not as republicans versus democrats. This is what is wrong right now with the country. Its so divided. Everything is about democrats versus republicans. I feel the parties have to come together. I think that the only way they will come together eventually is if you have redistricting reform, which is another thing im pass nionate about. You said you called him. That means you must have his phone number. Are you friends . We have been friends for many, many years, for decades as a matter of fact. Why is he so mean to you . We run into each other in professional wrestling. We have run into each other he was wanting to contribute to my campaign when i ran for governor. The only thing why we didnt accept his money was because it was from a gaming casino. I didnt accept money from gaming casinos and from gambling. And from unions, a certain list of things i didnt accept money. We had a very good relationship. The only thing is, what i think what ticked him off is the fact that i didnt vote for him and that i came out and said im not going to vote for him. I would urge others not to vote for him. I think that ticked him off. The reason why i didnt the reason why i didnt want to vote for him is because just along the issue that he wanted to bring coal back. I say, ive been fighting for Clean Environment since the time ive come into the governorship. We have to go and cleaner environment. We have to go into a green energy future. We have 7 Million People die every year because of pollution. I told him that. Therefore, i cannot endorse you because you want to bring coal. The next thing you want to bring back is horse and buggy or bl k blockbuster or pagers. I dont think you are a man of the future. [ applause ] i would like to bring somebody in, a trump supporter, randy is here in l. A. Trying to fly the trump flag in l. A. God bless you. What do you have to say . I actually have been organizing the trump rallies in southern california, hollywood and l. A. Areas since august. Which is pricomprised of inform democrats, a lot of minorities, Homeless People and veterans. We are intrigued to see if anything can be done to stop people from spitting at us and on trumps star. A lot of people dont know the trump star was vandalized and destroyed. We are spit at. Theres a lot of minorities and democrats who are being spit at by the haters. Were just intrigued if theres anything that you think can be done. Most of us out on the streets supporting trump want to unify. A lot of us are antiestablishment at this point. First of all, let me just say that it is very sad that america has gotten to the point where they look at the other side as the enemy. Because theyre not the enemy. He is a democrat. Im a republican. I dont look at him as the enemy. I love the kind im glad you dont, sir. Its ridiculous. It used to be both of the parties worked together. This is what its supposed to be. I think it goes back to george washington, president washington. He always said he is not a party man. If you have two parties, i think they have to get together and Work Together. This is why its so important that we understand that redistricting. The way they draw the district lines in such a way the republicans get locked into one direct and democrats in another. They get further and further apart. Whether they come to washington, or any of the capitals, they cant Work Together. The other side becomes the enemy. We have to get rid of this problem. Its important that we respect each other, that we can have a fair debate and argument about the issues. Its okay to have different points of view and different ideologies and all of those things. The to me, when i got into office it was how can i bring democrats and republicans together . The action is only whether you are together solve problems. Then look what happened, president obama started signing et executive orders because he couldnt get anything done through congress. Now theyre all gone. Now trump is signing executive orders and not doing it through congress. They will be gone the next president comes in. Its not a longlasting legacy. You have to work with congress. You have to be a leader. You have to bring both of the parties together. Its very difficult do that right now, as you know, because of the way they rigged the system and the way they draw the district lines. Thats why in california we have taken the drawing of the district lines away from the politicians. I campaigned on that for many years. Eventually, we had the people approved. We put it on the ballot, an initiative. The people approved it finally after the third time, they approved it. Had yyou had the great line the United States rather than the voters picking the politicians, the politicians were picking the voters because of the system. They pick the voters instead of the voters picking the politicians. The they rig the system in such a way. We got rid of that in california. We will talk about that when we get back. Stick with us. You promise . I many pro is. I got the governor. I gotta do what he says. Whether we get back, more questions from the audience. We will ask whether we are ever going to see the name schwarzenegger on the ballot again whether n we get back. We are not here to sit idly by. We are here. To leave a mark.

My doctor said Preservision Areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula the National Eye Institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd after 15 years of clinical studies. Preservision areds 2. Because my eyes are everything. Welcome back to the messy truth. Im van jones. My guest is arnold schwarzenegger. Governor, you have been a star republican for a long time. In fact, here you are at the Gop Convention in 2004. When i was a boy, the soviets occupied part of austria. I saw their tanks in the streets. I saw communism with my own eyes. The day the world no longer fears the soviet union. It is because of the United States of america. That was then. Back when republicans were standing up to russian invaders. Now you have trump with a bromance with putin. He is repressing his own people. As a republican, how do you make sense of that . You are a freedom love, liberty loving republican. Yet you got a republican president who seems to be best buddies with somebody who has invaded you know what thats like. Well, first of all, i know because of a Bipartisan Commission that has just decided that, yes, russia was involved in our elections. So i think this is interesting to know. Because again, it goes back to the washington when you talk about the problem parties fighting so much. That some outside force can interfere with our political system. It didnt make any sense but now it does make sense because we have seen it unfold in front of our very eyes. If trump has any connections with them or not, that we have not really established yet. I dont know. I have not seen any of the secret papers that maybe point to it. I havent seen it. Therefore, i cannot comment on that. Mrit uk politically, he does to be as tough. Does that worry you . To be honest with you, every president has their own straj i strategy. As you remember with nixon and kissing kissinger, they paved the way to not look at china as the enemy but start working together with them. He then flew over to china, visited them. The chinese premiere visited nixon. I think that opened up relationships. I dont i dont mind when people reach out. Its the key thing for the United States to go and look at the world and say we are trying to have as many friends as possible. Maybe through friendship we can tone things down and Work Together on different issues. You know, i dont know what his plan is. I never talked to trump about it. Lets just see what the future holds. Let me just rewind the clock back. You were a young man. You were in austria, modest background. You looked at american and you said, i think i can go there. They love freedom. They are going to open their arms to me. I can go. I can make a big difference. Would a Young Arnold Schwarzenegger looking at america now with so much of the antiimmigrant conversation, even coming from the white house, would a young arnold have come to america . Would you come to America Today as a young guy . Absolutely. Why . I tell you, i happen to get around the world a lot. Because of promoting movies, promoting the arnold classic sports and fitness festival, promoting special olympics. I came from austria celebrating the special olympics, the winter games and being with the athl e athletes because im the International Coach for them. Im traveling around giving speeches about environmental issues. I travel around a lot. I have never seen anyone come up to me and say, i cannot wait to mov
