In one of the most pleasant surprises of the year, legendary actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger lived up to his old nickname "The Terminator" during an appearance on one of the most notorious shows on television.

During Tuesday's episode of "The View," Schwarzenegger was asked by the loathsome Joy Behar about the recent ICE riots in California and across America. As TGP readers know, protesters have started fires, thrown projectiles at law enforcement officers, and damaged property. At the same time, elitist politicians have turned their ire toward President Trump and ICE for trying to put a stop to the madness.

Naturally, Behar sided with the rioters.

"Did you have a visceral reaction to what ICE is doing when you see the videos of it?" Behar asked.

Given Schwarzenegger's noted fierce opposition to Trump and his embrace of some of the left's worst ideas, one would have expected him to take the bait and blast Trump and ICE.

Instead, he put Behar and the rest of The View to shame with an absolutely beautiful and patriotic speech.

"I am so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people like that, I came over here at the age of 21 with absolutely nothing," Schwarzenegger responded. "And then to create a career like that. In no other country in the world could you do that."

He went on to note that America had made everything he had done, from bodybuilding to acting to becoming governor and creating his family, possible.

"This is the greatest country in the world, and it is the land of opportunity," Schwarzenegger added.

The Governator later emphasized the importance of immigrants entering America the right way and respecting the people who welcome them with open arms.

"You gotta do things legally, and those people that are doing illegal things in America, and they're the foreigners, they are not smart. Because when you come to America, you're a guest and you have to behave like a guest," Schwarzenegger said.

"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 to make my bed, and to do everything that is the right thing to do rather than committing a crime or being abusive or something like that," he added.

Schwarzenegger closed his incredible screed by saying something some conservatives avoid: immigrants are obligated to give back to America to show appreciation.
