Arnold Schwarzenegger is sharing his verdict on President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon Todd and Julie Chrisley.
The FUBAR actor and former governor of California was asked for his hot take on various pop culture headlines and moments in a game of “Maybe or Hasta La Vista, Baby?” during an appearance on the Monday, June 23, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
Host Andy Cohen asked Schwarzenegger, 77, to respond, “Maybe,” if he was “into it,” or “Hasta la vista, baby,” his classic line from Terminator 2: Judgment Day, if he was not.

It turns out that there was plenty that Schwarzenegger isn’t into, including Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour, reality dating shows like Love Island and the Chrisleys’ pardons last month, though he didn’t elaborate further beyond his signature movie catchphrase. (If you’re curious, Schwarzenegger said “maybe” to residencies at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Barbra Streisand’s upcoming duets album and TikTok.)
Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, were pardoned by the president in late May following their convictions for tax evasion and bank and wire fraud in June 2022. They have both maintained their innocence.

Trump granted the former Chrisley Knows Best stars clemency on May 28, and they were released from custody hours later. Todd and Julie have since returned home to Nashville to be with their family.
“It’s a terrible thing, but it’s a great thing, because your parents are going to be free and clean,” Trump said in a phone call to the couple’s 27-year-old daughter, Savannah, when he issued the pardons. “I don’t know them, but give them my regards. Wish them a good life.”
Savannah said in a statement to Us Weekly at the time: “For the past two and a half years, I’ve done everything in my power to fight for my parents’ freedom and bring them home. This moment is the answer to countless prayers, and I am beyond grateful to President Trump for seeing the truth and restoring my family.”
Since returning home to Nashville, Todd has spoken out about his time in prison and his conviction during a May 30 press conference. (Julie opted not to take part.)

“Even though this pardon has happened, I still was convicted of something that I did not do,” he said during the event. “It could be you. It could be any of you.”
Us Weekly confirmed last week that Todd and Julie’s first televised interview since their respective prison releases will air this weekend. The couple, along with their children Savannah and Grayson Chrisley, will sit down with Fox News Channel’s Lara Trump for a Saturday, June 28, broadcast.
