"Terminator" Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced that he plans to sue oil companies, claiming they are "knowingly killing people all over the world."
"This is no different from the smoking issue," the former California governor said during an interview with Politico's "Off Message" podcast.
"The tobacco industry knew for years and years and years and decades that smoking would kill people, would harm people and create cancer, and were hiding that fact from the people and denied it. Then eventually they were taken to court and had to pay hundreds of millions of dollars because of that,” the Republican said.
He said he'd be back.

The Hollywood action star said oil companies are committing "first-degree murder."
“I don’t think there’s any difference: If you walk into a room and you know you’re going to kill someone, it’s first-degree murder," he said in the interview. "I think it’s the same thing with the oil companies.”
Schwarzenegger also took the opportunity to bash President Trump during the interview with the liberal website, criticizing him for the things he says. “It’s beyond me. Why do you think he says those things? He’s supposed to be very busy," he said
