"Deepfake" is an AI-based video technology that uses existing images and/or video to superimpose one person's likeness upon another seamlessly. This particular video is of a comedian doing an Arnie impersonation. Keep in mind as the real guy changes into Arnold right before your eyes, the action star never actually said any of these things. A learning computer (Skynet, anyone?) used existing video of Arnold to make him say something totally new, on top of another man's face. It is able to compensate for the changing angles and perspectives virtually flawlessly.
Now if a youtuber--albeit a very skilled one-- can merge two different people like this, what could the right people make one person say? A video of Trump or Putin declaring war, a video of any politican spouting racist things in the midst of a campaign, a movie star taking one position over another, you name it. Of course, we can trust the media to immediately have the handful of experts capable of detecting such forgeries verify an questionable clips, right?
