Arnold Schwarzenegger walks out of interview over Trump question | The Reporter25

There's a topic off-limits when interviewing Arnold Schwarzenegger: Donald Trump.

Arnold-Schwarzenegger-walks-out-of-interview-over-Trump-question

The former Governor of California walked off set the during an interview on (Sunrise Weekend) the morning program of Australia after being asked to opine on the possible Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The interview that I only do about fitness and health, not about politics or my relationships, said host Angela Cox before ending to  interview.

The Schwarzenegger is currently in Australia to promote a series of fitness events, including the Arnold Strongman World Championship.

It is understandable that a journalist would be interested in thoughts of Arnold at the Trump. As Trump, Schwarzenegger is a politician-turned-Republican entertainment personality and was also named as a substitute of Trump on (The Celebrity Apprentice).

The Schwarzenegger endorsed Republican candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich earlier this month.

At the beginning of the interview, Cox had asked Schwarzenegger about his failed marriage with Maria Shriver. In 2011, it was revealed that he had a son with the couple's maid.

When asked about how to have that news made public changed his life, The Schwarzenegger refused to answer.

Well, the important thing is that I continue with my work, and health and fitness are what really matters to me.

The Schwarzenegger team maintains that he didn't storm out of the interview, but that Cox had exceeded its allotted time.

The journalist was allocated five minutes and we run over time, so cut the interview short, Australian publicist Max Markson, Schwarzenegger said. I think she's just trying to make a name for herself. She is new at the show. His line of questioning was inappropriate.

US unions plan attack on Donald Trump in attempt to derail presidential bid

Concerned labor group leaders are organizing ad campaigns and phone banks as Trump’s populist message on trade and jobs draws in union voters The prospect of a Donald Trump nomination has labor leaders scrambling to hold the line as the Republican frontrunner’s appeal to disaffected working-class voters threatens to upset the traditional political calculus. The majority of America’s almost 15 million unionized workers can be usually be relied upon to back the Democratic candidate in a presidential year, but leaders are concerned by Trump’s populist message on trade and jobs – and his insistence that union workers are just one of many groups on a long list of those he claims “love” him.

North Carolina's 'bathroom bill' battle embarrasses residents on both sides | TheNews Linzer

The escalating fight over LGBT rights has turned the historically sophisticated, inclusive southern state into a battleground of intolerance In the family of southern states, North Carolina has long been the cousin who made it. It enjoyed excellent universities, world-class industries, smooth roads and political stability. A whole class of people arose called “halfbacks”: people who retired from the north-east states to Florida, only to realize North Carolina was better and moved halfway back. Now, with the state squaring off against the federal government about who can use which bathrooms, the state finds itself at the pointy end of jokes, and lumped in with more strident southern states like Mississippi and – most bitterly – South Carolina. It’s unfamiliar for North Carolinians. It’s uncomfortable. And many are asking: how did we get here? How did the high-achieving, well-educated cousin end up with a black eye and busted knuckles, reeling over a public toilet? Continue reading....

From Uber to Eric Schmidt, tech is closer to the US government than you'd think

Twitter was scrabbling to defend the appointment of a Chinese head with government ties, yet US tech has a busy revolving door with its own government What’s worse for a Silicon Valley executive: ties to the Chinese military or friends in the US Defense Department?  Twitter found itself confronting that question this week after it hired Kathy Chen, a former engineer for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), to head up ad sales and business development in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Internet freedom activists and Chinese dissidents, who have to skirt Beijing’s digital censors to use Twitter, said it was a betrayal. The spat illustrates the delicate balancing act technology companies face as they are forced to expand overseas to grow. In the US, Silicon Valley, like any industry, has embraced and relied on close relationships with former government officials both for technical talent and to help grease the wheels as they confront regulatory issues. Alphabet’s executive chairman, ...
