I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.

I get a lot of calls from families and people who have served time and they say, 'Thank you, Sheriff. I hate the tents.' That's music to my ears.

We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any.

I'd rather report to four million people as the elected Sheriff than some governor or president, so I like reporting to the people.

I just talk, and I say what I feel, and yet, I'm a nice guy.

I love people that come from another country. I love talking to them.

I don't throw people under the bus. When I stick by a guy - I may not agree with him all the time, but I sure don't throw him under the bus.
