Respect to the big man. He’s probably disappointed he had to do that.

He didn’t smash it, burn it, or rip it down. He just gently pick it off the wall with extreme disappointment on his face!

And notice how Shaw doesn’t smash it or throw it out. He’s genuine. It’s not an act, it’s just what he believes. You can trust honest people like that.

The last time an Austrian said “screw your freedom” it didn’t go very well.

Arnold broke my heart saying such ignorance. He immigrated to this country for the very freedom he now disrespects and dismisses. Sad day.

I appreciate the respect. Didn't smash the picture, didn't berate Arnold, didn't get mad, just "this isn't in alignment anymore, with respect we're moving on"

As an U.S. Infantryman this makes me sad to know that one of my childhood hero’s said something like that

We all grew up with Arnold, boy what a let down he ended up being.

No temper tantrums, no raging, screaming or sobbing uncontrollably; he just reached up and took it down. That said a lot to me. Also his tone was gentle and polite. Much respect.

Arnold has clearly forgotten what this country has done for him.

I respect Brian Shaw for making this decision. Freedom isn't free, it came with a price. 🇺🇸

This guys awesome he didn’t step out of line he was reasonable the whole time and was chill what a great guy

He looks absolutely gutted walking away with the poster in his hands. I felt that.

As much as I like B Shaw, he missed Arnold’s point. Suggest re-listening to it, and avoid falling prey to the choice of words but the message he was transmitting.

Other than having muscles what separates Arnold Schwarzenegger and gives him a qualified point of view. Shame on society for decades of being so dumbed down as to give him this status.

He handled this very professionally he didnt discredit him or bash him simply stated his point respectfully i wish more people composed their selves this way

Now that’s an American that stands by his convictions. They say never meet your heroes they will only disappoint you

Thank you for standing up for what is right Mr Shaw. You are a great man. God bless you.

His DAD was a nazi! It is SOOOO disappointing to hear Arnold say the things he has after coming here and making it like he has. He’s not the hero we thought- thank you for standing up for the right thing.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Bro I could see the disappointment/heartache that caused you. Complete respect for standing on your convictions 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Amen Brian🙏. It's a difficult time now also in the Netherlands!!! The freedom of speech is under pressure...

As an Immigrant myself, I dislike other immigrants that come here and disrespect this country. I'm thankful to God for allowing me to live in this great country. If you don't like it here? I'll help you pack and open the door for you so that it won't hit you in the butt ... 💪🏼🇺🇲💪🏼

Arnold: “I’m ballsy, I don’t take shit from no body…” Unless they pay me extremely well…

Last time an Austrian said freedom isn’t important, my grandpa and his friends had to go kick his teeth in

Its actually an honor to live in the same time period as Brian Shaw 🇺🇲💪🏽

The irony of an immigrant becoming a multi millionaire bc of our freedoms and then saying you can’t have those same freedoms he has. Smh

He has been kidding everyone for decades - he was all about the $$

You can see the massive disappointment that Brian is feeling. Especially when he removed the poster and is walking.

"You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything."

Very well said and spoken like a true patriot. You have my respect.

We should start a petition for Brian to replace the arnold poster with a poster of Derek from More Plates More Dates.

I was expecting a "Hulk smash!" moment, but Brian explained the situation, then calmly (and sadly) removed the picture with respect and dignity. You are a good man, Brian.

Nonsense. Brian, and as I can see from the comments, most others didn't get the context Arnold was talking about at all. Arnold talks about the behavior of an individual in society during the pandemic, how disciplined behavior is: washing hands, wearing a mask, social distance before the concept of individual freedom: And he is absolutely right, without discussion I don't know why Brian refers to patriotism?? Arnold's statement with such a concept of freedom. Please, turn on your brain at least a little.

I honestly could care less whether you’re an American or the world’s strongest man as the world says you are, that means nothing. Your title does not entitle you to hold any speciality treatment or treasure that separates you from every soul on this Earth. What concerns me is that you spoke out of line to a well respected, hardworking classed Austrian. Who put enormous efforts to get himself where he is today. The land of opportunity gave him that chance, and you’re upset at that? I’m pure German blood, containing the genes of my beloved ancestors that first arrived to this country in the turn of the early 20th century from eastern Germany. I don’t find it amusing when people like yourself talk rudeness and reticule people of my heritage. What do you speak of this “freedom?” Don’t you understand that there is no such thing of “freedom” in this sinful world we live in? To put it to you in this perspective, who granted you the divine right of having your own “freedom” over all of us? Since you’re selfish enough to say you have it, I ask of you to consult with God the almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth! Whom his son sits on the right hand of the father has authority over all of us! Your personal freedoms of anti-vaxxing mean nothing. God governs and decides your freedom, not yourself, not your nation’s constitution either. You can stick your chest and neck up high and bolster all you want about how your supernatural freedom is being infringed on due to a comment of Arnold not supporting anti vaccination to your liking. That is not my concern. I stand alongside Arnold shoulder to shoulder not because or having to do with vaccinations or political party affiliation. But because he has spoken out truthfully that your freedom does not put you anywhere higher than all of us. Arnold is another brotherly friend and German that I adore with my great regards.

He looked so sad afterwards. We miss the real Arnold. The one who busted his ass. The one who valued freedom. Sad to see a great man fall so far.

I really like the manner in which the owner took down the picture, no temper tantrum, no throwing or smashing of the picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger, eloquently and calmly explains why he’s taking it down - just pure class

I used to work for Arnold Schwarzenegger and he always treated everyone nice and respectful he always paid for food for everybody I just can't imagine he said anything like that I can't imagine that if he did say those kind of things see if he apologizes he may just had a bad day and went venting at least give him a chance one thing we all need to learn how to do is to forgive so that we might be forgiven by our Father in heaven I apologize for him.

Im Australian from Down under🇦🇺And what Arnold said was very disrespectful and not acceptable..Discussting!😱😤😡Every human being deserves freedom!!!!

As a US Soldier who has dedicated his life to fighting for our country I salute you brother!

Brian Shaw is a true American. An American that's almost twice the size of Arnold and three times more badass 😎💪💯🇺🇲

I come back to this every now and then to remind myself how to deal with something like an adult.

Saying nonsense is not new to Arnold, hes the same guy that told everyone to train twice a day and who rigged the 80 Olympia...

“You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain” - Harvey Dent

Good man! This country needs more patriots like him.

It was a sad day when Arnold said that, without freedom there is no America

Yeah, but someone saying "Screw your freedom" is his right as an American and a part of the First Amendment. So you're saying, "He can say whatever he wants to say, but when he says something I don't agree with, I don't like it" COVID had everyone nuts.

Love this man. He respects others opinions while having his own, and he doesn’t take freedom for granted.

Brian isn't afraid to distinguish right from wrong in front of his peers and also not afraid to show his disappointment and betrayal in his face. The cruel reality of today's social system affects us all but Brian's handles it like a pro awesome man.

Just for reference, the picture he took down was 20 ft by 12 ft

Made my day to see you stand up for the USA. If Arnold said something against us, he deserves to be put on the spot for it. Sad day !!!!!

I'm surprised how many Americans have forgotten Arnold's words already

USA (Joe Weider) is the reason why Arnold became famous and rich the man was 22 yo, when JW invited him to join him and his team Arnold was given a apartment, a steady job then he became an actor and in 1982 at 35 yo, he became one of the world's most famous people had Arnold stayed in austria, then he would have most likely owned gym's to help people get in shape, and worked as a bricklayer ofc he could have bought a big house and car's, but people outside austria and germany wouldn't have regonized him and his name, so USA made Arnold the world's most famous bodybuilder and actor.

I thought he was going to smash it to sh%t. Instead, he decided to retain his calm, respectful & genuine demeanor. Bravo!

And Brian is probably one of the nicest people in the entire world

You can really see it in your eyes when you took it down it broke your heart. You're such a genuine guy.

What freedom? The freedom to work for myself on a plot of land that I own and the freedom to do it the way I want to? oh wait... I'm not free to do that.. I have to work for money from other people, and I can't claim land as my own, and even if I buy it then it still belongs to the government and they can take it from me for any reason they choose, and I have to work for other people to buy it. I can't just go pick some empty land and build a house and hunt and gather for food, I can't just run my own generator off of pig oil that I made from pigs I hunted. I have to be a part of modern society whether I like it or not. We all do. Freedom doesn't exist anymore. We're all slaves to varying degrees. We all work for, and live for the richer. patriotism does nothing for you, it just makes you a happier slave. Indigenous peoples like African tribes, and south American jungle tribes, and Australian aborigines, and "Eskimos", these are the only truly free people left on earth. The rest of us are slaves to government, society, and money.

The Freedom made Arnold want to come to America. The Freedom gave Arnold the environment to succeed in body building, movies, politics--that Freedom.

I agree with you 1000%. I'm 53 and had been in and out of the gym my whole life. Arnold was an inspiration for me to get back into the gym. After his screw your freedom comments and TDS agenda I'm no longer a fan. Same as the other celebrities. Freedom of Speech doesn't mean freedom of responsibility or consequences.

I am not an american but even Great Khali,Priyanka chopra,Irfan Khan etc..all these indians too are nothing if they never made it in America so no matter wt America is a great country and it will always be.

I am ecstatic that 8 yo son views Brian Shaw as a role model. Thank You, Brian.

Not just Americans . I'm Canadian and am a big believer in freedom. Hate our prime Minister ith his draconian ,tyrannical policies .

But he was against anti Vaxxers. Saying what he said he wasn’t the right thing to say but what it was about was pretty blatantly agreeable. Covid was obviously real and vaccines are obviously an essential component to dealing with outbreaks. Same with any outbreak in the world. If you felt that a Vaccine was dumb then disagree with what he says, don’t generalise the quote he uses.

You are a true class act Brian. Very few famous people that can be considered role models but you are one of them.

It was because people didn't want to wear mask . Arnold said screw your freedom wear the mask.

The world needs more men like Brian Shaw and less prison camp guards like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Man who can pick up a cannon and walk it over a field delicately takes down picture of arnold and puts it away. Respect.

Americans are so dramatic. "Damn guys, I've gotta show everyone how much I feel about this. I'm going to make a dramatic video where I take his poster down off my wall, because I am a proud AMURICAn!"

Saddest day in history, thoughts and prayers

I don’t care how tough or old you are…. When you’re disappointed by your hero , you feel just like a little kid who’s heart has been broken

You gotta respect a man who does that in a position like he's in. Big balls. And he's absolutely right in everything he said.

Arnold is bought off, sad, money is the root of all Evil

So JOYFUL to see people WAKING UP and realizing that GOD'S WORD NEVER FAILS .... God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Romans 3:4 When people stop putting man first, the world will operate the way it was created to be. THIS ALONE brings heaven on earth. God Bless this man for handling this in a peaceful way.

America needs more patriots like this man! Thank you sir. Our time is now.

“It’s time to come down.” *Casually reaches 30ft😂

Holy Cow I knew Brian was a man I just didn’t realize he was this much of a Man!

Tremendous respect to you dude. I can’t express enough how important it is to support freedom.

If it weren’t for American freedom Arnold never would have become who he is. Brian is absolutely right in taking that picture down.

That takes some balls. He did apologize for what it's worth. This is the truth though brothers, as long as the federal reserve ponzi scheme exists, we are all slaves.

Hey there brian shaw you are a respectful man and I'm proud you did it from los Angeles CA USA

When Brian started walking toward the camera, I backed up.

The look on his face as he removed the picture, I felt that!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what integrity looks like. What an amazing ambassador Brian is!

"Screw your freedom." He really said that.

I still can’t believe he said that garbage. This country gave Arnold his entire life.

Or, leave it up and write something on it in red letters, like - "I can't help it, my parents were Nazis to the core".

If every American man had your integrity, it would be a much better country. Kudos to you!

Brian looks like a disappointed dad at the end 😢

You can even see the disappointment in his face that he didn't want to have to do that. Thank you for publicly standing up for American's rights.

Arnold bent his knee too this society crap. He may have been big and strong but he is weak at heart.

Some American's take themselves way too seriously! He was talking about anti-maskers, context is gold people! lol

I lost all respect for Arnie the day he said those anti American words!

Please don't be disappointed. So many liked Arnold when he was acting. Well at least in a couple of his movies. But there are better people out there who can and should be in that spot more so than Arnold. A non-American leftist who is no longer in America who makes a statement like that don't deserve the honor or respect.

In America we have freedom of speech but that doesn't mean there are no consequences for what we say. We must fight to keep our freedoms everyday

He came here for HIS freedom, and now that he made it big in AMERICA he's got the gonads to tell US screw OUR freedom? Hmmmm I'm thinking he's in for a rude awakening. Thanks for standing up for your country and what it means to be an American.

No, Arnold. Screw you. Thank you, Brian, for standing by your convictions.

It’s a shame that Arnold a naturalized citizen could even say that after all this country has given him. The disappointment in Shaws face speaks volumes

We owe a lot to men who fought barefoot in the snow. And Benjamin Franklin said that if you give up liberty for a little safety. You deserve neither. There are a lot of people who live far away from police safety. I'm talking about 15 to 30 minutes before someone can get to you. Plus, listen to some of the 911 calls. Where help is too late getting to the person calling. No matter what the laws say. A criminal isn't going to respect them.

The way he takes down the poster, you can feel he is disappointed 😔 i am sorry. I feel your pain

I can assure you Arnold's words really hurt Brian. The man has enormous respect for Arnold.

Sad to say you didn’t understand what he was meaning, actually support Arnold more now 😂
