Arnold Schwarzenegger goes full patriot on ‘The View,’ derails Joy Behar’s anti-ICE ambush
On June 17, Arnold Schwarzenegger braved the coven that is ABC’s “The View.” Joy Behar tried to snare him with a question about ICE raids, but it didn’t go in the America-hating direction she hoped it would. In fact, it went in the completely opposite direction.
Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” plays the clip of the Terminator’s epic pro-America speech.
“You're an immigrant in this country. Did you have a visceral reaction to what [ICE is] doing?” Behar asked.
“I'm so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people,” Schwarzenegger responded. “I came over here at the age of 21 with absolutely nothing. And then to create a career like that — I mean, in no other country in the world could you do that.”
“My bodybuilding career … my acting career, becoming governor, the beautiful family that I have created — all of this is because of America,” he continued. “This is the greatest country in the world, and it is the land of opportunity.”
Schwarzenegger then announced that he will be giving the keynote speech at Mount Vernon on July 4 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America. The event will include a naturalization ceremony — a formal rite of passage in which legal immigrants who have met the requirements to become U.S. citizens take the Oath of Allegiance, officially granting them U.S. citizenship. During the ceremony, these new citizens pledge loyalty to the United States, renounce allegiance to foreign governments, and agree to uphold the Constitution.
Schwarzenegger made it crystal clear that he loves this ceremony. “It's really a great, great celebration, and this is what this is all about — to celebrate people becoming Americans and coming to America,” he said.
All this while, the panel was politely nodding along, occasionally adding a “that’s true” or a “that’s great.” But then Schwarzenegger said something that caused their countenances to visibly sour.
“But the key thing also is at the same time, we got to do things legal,” he said. “Those people that are doing illegal things in America and the foreigners, they are not smart.”
“When you come to America, you’re a guest, and you have to behave like a guest. Like when I go to someone’s house and I’m a guest, then I will do everything I can to keep things clean … and do everything that is the right thing to do rather than committing a crime or being abusive,” he continued.
That’s when Sunny Hostin placed her manicured, heavily ringed hand on his arm as if to say, “All right, honey, don’t go there.”
But he would not be deterred. “The important thing is when you become an immigrant to think about: Okay, I go to America because I want to use America for the great opportunities that America has in education, in jobs, creating a family. … Then I have to give something back,” he said, arguing that immigrants “have a responsibility … to give back to America.”
They “didn't expect conservative Arnold from 30 years ago”; they wanted “‘screw your freedom’ from five years ago,” says Pat.

Terry Moran is out at ABC News after issuing unhinged rant against Stephen Miller
Senior national correspondent Terry Moran is looking for a new job after ABC News says he violated their policies in a now-deleted rant against a Trump administration official.
Moran wrote an extended screed against Stephen Miller, an adviser to President Donald Trump, and posted it Sunday on the X social media platform. He charged that Miller was full of hatred that was "spiritual nourishment" for the president.
'He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.'
"The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy," wrote Moran.
"But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller It’s not brains. It’s bile," he added. "Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate."
Moran concluded: "Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his [sic] his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment."
The post got immediate attention, and it elicited a response from the White House press secretary.
"This is unhinged and unacceptable,” Karoline Leavitt said on social media. “We have reached out to @ABC to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable.”
On Tuesday, ABC News said that they did not extend Moran's contract and cited the post.
"We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies — we have made the decision to not renew," read the network's statement. "At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism."

Ironically, Moran had previously made headlines when a left-wing online mob demanded he lose his job for defending the Trump administration against a liberal narrative during the 2024 presidential race.
The Harris-Walz campaign had accused Trump of suffering cognitive decline when he shut down questions at a small rally and instead played some of his favorite music to the audience for about half an hour. Rather than go along with the Harris accusation, Moran reported that everyone seemed to have a good time at the event.
"Absolutely disgusting @ABC and @TerryMoran. This is why no one takes mainstream media seriously anymore," one critic said.
