Arnold Schwarzenegger on The Power of Immigrants | Longer Tables Podcast | Chef José Andrés

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chef José Andrés sit-down for a joint recording of José's Longer Tables podcast, and Arnold's Stammtisch.

The two find out quickly how much they have in common: they're both immigrants, they both grew up picking mushrooms with their families, they both moved to the United States at the age of 21, they both are chairs of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Nutrition, they both served in the military, and so much more!
