Arnold Schwarzenegger's Immigration Comments Go Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Republican governor of California, has waded into the immigration debate during a forthright appearance on The View, with his remarks going viral across social media platforms. "You have a responsibility as an immigrant to pay back to America," the Austrian-born actor said. "When you come to America, you're a guest and you have to behave like a guest." Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Schwarzenegger outside of regular working hours via email for comment. Why It Matters Schwarzenegger's comments come after Los Angeles, where he lives, faced protest and unrest following Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raiding several downtown neighborhoods as part of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. Protests later spread to other states. The administration has vowed to carry out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history, authorizing ICE raids around the country. Some arrests have been perceived as heavy-handed. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted June 11–12 found Americans divided over President Donald Trump's deployment of military forces in L.A., with 48 percent supporting the move and 41 percent opposing it. Overall, while 52 percent of respondents favored increased deportations, 49 percent thought the administration had gone too far.

Arnold Schwarzenegger attends a SiriusXM Town Hall hosted by Andy Cohen at SiriusXM Studios on June 17, 2025 in New York SiriusXM What To Know Schwarzenegger was asked The View's co-host Joy Behar about his reaction to "What ICE is doing." In response, Schwarzenegger, who served as governor from 2003 to 2011, said that he is "so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people like that... In no other country in the world could you do that." He added: "The key thing is, we got to do things legal. "Those people that are doing things illegal, and they're the foreigners, they are not smart. When you come to America, you're a guest and you have to behave like a guest." It's not the first time that Schwarzenegger, who is currently promoting the second series of his Netflix show Fubar, has addressed the topic of immigration. At the Season Two premiere of Fubar, he told Variety, when asked about Trump's decision to send in the National Guard to the protests in L.A.: "Politicians have the responsibility to create immigration reform, so we don't have to have this crap going on in the first place." "This is the result of Democrats and Republicans not being able to come together in this immigration reform. And so that's what needs to be done so that you don't have to go and start arresting people in the first place, so we know who is in this country and who is working here, who has the temporary working permit, who has the permanent working permit," Schwarzenegger said. The clip was shared by @bennyjohnson on X where it received 7.7 million views as of the time this article was published, and again by @OliLondonTV where it received a further 2 million views. During his tenure as California's governor, Schwarzenegger often walked a centrist line on immigration. He advocated for border security while also supporting pathways to legal residency, criticizing both major parties for their failure to deliver lasting immigration reform. What People Are Saying Benny Johnson, a media personality who has contributed to several conservative outlets, on X: "Arnold Schwarzenegger, a legal immigrant, successful actor, and former California Governor, just left The View STUNNED... Absolute masterclass." Rob Schneider, the actor, who endorsed Donald Trump in 2024, on X: "Weight Lifter Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't worried about riots in his guard gated community."

Joe Jonas Scores His First Hit Album On His Own
Joe Jonas lands his first solo placements on multiple U.K. album charts with Music for People Who ... More Believe in Love, though the set misses the main albums ranking. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 29: Joe Jonas visits SiriusXM at SiriusXM Studios on April 29, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by) Joe Jonas has been a musical superstar for nearly two decades now, but his commercial success has largely been tied to his siblings. As one-third of the Jonas Brothers, he's scored global smashes and several bestselling albums. His solo career, however, hasn't fared quite as well, especially in the United Kingdom. The singer lands his first hits on a number of charts in that country this week with his latest release on his own, Music for People Who Believe in Love. The title earns Jonas his first placement under his own name on several tallies, though, interestingly, it still trails behind his debut solo offering in one important manner. Music for People Who Believe in Love debuts on three charts across the Atlantic. It opens at No. 15 on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts. The collection also enters at No. 36 on the Official Album Downloads list. These placements mark a first for Jonas as a soloist on all three rankings. The Jonas Brothers, meanwhile, have collected between two and five appearances on each and every one of them throughout the years. Despite its lofty placement on a handful of tallies, Music for People Who Believe in Love doesn't reach the Official Albums chart, the all-encompassing ranking of the 100 most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the nation. Jonas's debut solo album, Fastlife, did land on that tally. Released in late 2011, Fastlife spent one frame at No. 99 before disappearing for good. It never managed to appear on any of the other charts where Jonas currently appears. So far, Music for People Who Believe in Love has produced just one charting hit: "Heart by Heart." The catchy lead single debuts on a pair of tallies this frame in the U.K. It opens at No. 72 on the Official Singles Sales list and No. 69 on the Official Singles Downloads tally. Jonas is brand new to the Official Singles Sales chart, as "Heart by Heart" earns him his first solo win on the list of the bestselling tunes in the U.K. He's already placed on the Official Singles Downloads roster multiple times. In fact, "Heart by Heart" marks his fifth solo entry on that tally and his first since 2011. To date, Jonas has managed only one top 40 solo success on that U.K. ranking — a duet with Demi Lovato on "This Is Me," which peaked at No. 31 in 2008.

Ozzy Osbourne Gives Health Update Amid Upcoming Final Performance
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JULY 29: Ozzy Osbourne attends the Ozzy Osbourne Album Special on ... More SiriusXM's Ozzy's Boneyard Channel at at SiriusXM Studios on July 29, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor SiriusXM) With Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne's final farewell show a month away, Ozzy Osbourne has given an update on his health and how he's preparing for his swan song performance at Back To The Beginning. Since 2018, Osbourne has been battling Parkinson's disease among a number of other physical injuries. Recently Osbounre opened up about the extensive physical therapy and training he's been undergoing on the SiriusXM's Ozzy Speaks show. 'I've got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal, Osbourne stated. 'It's hard going, but he's convinced that he can pull it off for me. I'm giving it everything I've got." When asked by co-host Billy Morrison on whether or not he's stressed about performing at Back To The Beginning, Osbourne replied, "Sometimes, but what I do, if I start obsessing all the time, I'll be insane by Friday, you know? So, I'm just taking it one day at a time and when I do it one day at a time. You know, when we were talking about this [obsessive-compulsive disorder], whatever. I have that badly. All I can say is I'm giving 120%. If my God wants me to do the show, I'll do it." It's clear that Ozzy Osbourne's health has been in decline since he made the decision to retire from touring back in 2019. Prioritizing his health and ensuring he can commit to performaning at Back To The Beginning seems to be his main focus. That being said, fans shouldn't expect Osbourne or Black Sabbath to perform a full 90 minute set. In other recent interviews Osbourne has clearly stated, 'I'm not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath but I am doing little bits and pieces with them. 'I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.' From the looks of it, Back To The Beginning seems to be promoting itself more as a celebration of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's legacy, rather than a reunion show. Sure, it is a reunion of the original Black Sabbath lineup, however, the litany of legendary acts billed, namely Metallica, Guns N' Roses, TOOL, and Pantera seems to be the main draw, in addition to the guest musicians booked for the one day festival as well. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if the plan was for some of these guest musicians to accompany Osbourne and Black Sabbath during each of their sets. It could be a great way for these iconic metal and rock musicians to show much they've been inspired by Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, which seems to be essentially what Back To The Beginning is all about – honoring heavy metal's founders.

'Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives': Taylor Frankie Paul On What To Expect Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 ended on a huge cliffhanger and while Taylor Frankie Paul couldn't reveal exactly what happens, she's offering a glimpse into what viewers can expect to see in the upcoming episodes. "There's some unexpected storylines that popped up," Paul told Newsweek of the 10 remaining episodes. The Context In the last episode of Season 2 that has been released, Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette tells Mormon Wives cast member Layla Taylor, that he had an affair with cast member Jessi Ngatikaura. He claimed in the episode that it wasn't just a one time thing, leaving Taylor shocked. Earlier in the season there were rumors that something transpired between Brunette and cast member Demi Engemenn when some of the Mormon Wives cast visited Vanderpump Villa. Engemenn denied anything happened between herself and Brunette, calling it a shame that a man and a woman can't have a friendly interaction and Ngatiukaura has denied that Brunette's account of what happened is accurate. What to Know In the fall, Hulu greenlit 20 more episodes of the show and has only released 10 more as part of Season 2. The last episode ended on a "to be continued" message, leaving viewers wondering if there would be a second part to Season 2 or if viewers would have to wait for Season 3. Unlike after Season 1, the Mormon Wives cast didn't get a break between filming what viewers saw in Season 2 and what they'll see on the upcoming episodes. Paul said it's difficult to do back-to-back filming, partially because it blurs together and they don't want to reveal spoilers about what viewers haven't seen and partially because it is a lot of time away from their kids. "A lot of us were feeling a lot of shame, I think," Paul told Newsweek, referencing the mom guilt the cast feels. "However, there's this different mindset where I'm like, okay, we have to think about this as a crunch back to back but then we're gonna have the majority of the summer with our kids." Taylor Frankie Paul of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' visits SiriusXM Studios on September 11, 2024 in New York City. Taylor Frankie Paul of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' visits SiriusXM Studios on September 11, 2024 in New York filming was continuous, Paul said viewers will get to see the aftermath of the drama between Brunette and Ngatikaura, and of course, more conflict between the women on the show. But, she added that there's also conflict between different people. "It's actually crazy. It's mind blowing to me because I know there's a lot of people that think this is all produced or scripted, but it's not. It's all real, unfortunately," Paul said. While Paul thought that she'd get a break from the drama, that turned out not to be the case last season and she said it isn't the case for the next batch of episodes that will be released. What They're Saying Ngatikaura on "The Viall Files" podcast: "Relationships are hard and they're nuanced. There's so much more that I'm excited to share because I think people will be able to relate to my story. I think it may help people." Miranda McWhorter told People: "You'll get answers and maybe a little bit of closure, regarding [the end]." What Happens Next With filming expected to wrap before summer, it's possible viewers could get new episodes before the end of the year. But, the exact timeline of when episodes will be released – and whether it'll be Season 2, Part 2 or Season 3 – has not been confirmed by Hulu.
