♪ WELCOME BACK TO THE NEXT
REVOLUTION.
I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH
FORMER CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER ABOUT
HIS LIFE STORY.
>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR
STORY A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I
THINK ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS
ABOUT YOU THAT PEOPLE LOVE IS
THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY THE
BIGGEST, SINGLE IMMIGRATION
SUCCESS STORY THAT'S EVER
BEEN.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE
ACHIEVED SINCE YOU'VE COME
HERE.
>> ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE DON'T
CALL ME A SELF-MADE MAN
BECAUSE OF IT WOULD'VE BEEN
FOR AMERICA, IF IT WOULD NOT
BEEN FOR THE ENDLESS AMOUNT OF
NOTHING.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO REALLY
THANK AMERICA AND THEN TO GIVE
SOMETHING BACK AND THIS IS
WHERE THIS COMES IN.
MY NEED FOR HELPING SPECIAL
OLYMPICS IN THE 70s AND
BECOMING THE NATIONAL AND
INTERNATIONAL TRAINER OF
SPECIAL OLYMPICS WERE WORKING
WITH AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS AND
PROMOTING FITNESS AND BEING
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PRESIDENTS
COUNCIL ON FITNESS AND
TRAVELING TO ALL 50 STATES BUT
I WAS TRYING TO GIVE SOMETHING
BACK BECAUSE I HAD TO DO
SOMETHING TO SAY THANK YOU TO
AMERICA AND EVENTUALLY THAT
LED TO MY NEED FOR THE RECALL
IN CALIFORNIA THAT JUMPING TO
THE GOVERNOR'S RACE.
>> I TOTALLY SHARE THAT
FEELING.
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW
YOU FEEL.
I FEEL THE SAME WAY.
ALONG THE WAY, YOU MET RONALD
REAGAN.
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOUR
IMPRESSIONS WERE AND WHAT IT
WAS LIKE TO WORK WITH HIM.
>> THE FIRST TIME WAS AT A
PARTY IN THE LATE 70s.
IT WAS JUST BEFORE HE BECAME
PRESIDENT.
THEN LATER ON I MET HIM IN THE
WHITE HOUSE, I WAS INVITED TO
SEVERAL STATE DINNERS AND I
BROUGHT MY MOTHER THERE, I
TOLD HIM I SAID MY MOTHER IS
CRAZY ABOUT THE USA.
ANYWAY, I WAS INVITED TO THE
STATE DINNER AND MY MOTHER
HAPPEN TO BE HERE AT THE TIME,
SHE WAS CAME EVERY SPRING FOR
MOTHER'S DAY OVER HERE AND I
TOOK HER TO THE WHITE HOUSE,
IT WAS FANTASTIC.
REAGAN WAS A SCHMOOZE HER.
HE LOVED TO HOLD COURT,
DOESN'T MATTER IF THERE WAS
DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS,
INDEPENDENTS, AND MADE NO
DIFFERENT.
