NextImg:WATCH: Arnold Schwarzenegger reaches out to those drawn in by 'hate and antisemitism'


Arnold Schwarzenegger delivered a message on Monday to people who may find themselves consumed by antisemitism and hate: It's not too late.

The actor and former Republican California governor told viewers he wanted to address "the rising hate and antisemitism we've seen all over the world" in a YouTube video.

"I don't want to preach to the choir here," he said.

"I want to talk to the people out there who might have already stumbled into the wrong direction, the wrong path," Schwarzenegger said.

He recalled a recent trip to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, describing the atrocities committed there by Nazis during World War II.


"I've seen enough people throw away their futures for hateful beliefs," he explained.

He recalled growing up in Austria after the war and being surrounded by "broken men."

While Schwarzenegger detailed those people's guilt and physical injuries, he focused on something else.

"They felt like losers," he said. "Because they fell for a horrible, loser ideology. They were lied to and misled into a path that ended in misery."

"I want you to know where that path ends," the former governor told viewers.

During the 12-minute video, a photograph of men with burning tiki torches from the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally flashed across the screen as Schwarzenegger described the rise of hate.

At different points, photos depicting protester clashes between Antifa and others were shown. There were also pictures of Proud Boys.

"There has never been a successful movement based on hate," he said. "The Nazis? Losers. The Confederacy? Losers. The apartheid movement? Losers," he added.

Throughout his message, he reassured viewers that they are not past the point of no return, telling them, "I care about you. I think you're worth it."

He even empathized with them. "I can see how it can happen," he said.

But, Schwarzenegger said, "you still have a chance to choose a life of strength."

"Let's give up that war," he encouraged.

"There is still hope for you. There is still time for you," he reiterated.

He didn't mention any politicians or groups by name, aside from those of the past, such as the Nazis or the Confederacy. Despite this, Schwarzenegger is known to be an unapologetic critic of former President Donald Trump.

After the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in 2021, the actor delivered a scathing message against Trump.

"President Trump is a failed leader. He will go down in history as the worst president ever. The good thing is he will soon be as irrelevant as an old tweet," he said.
