Once I can talk to people, I switch them over on my side.

I just can't surrender. I can't start something and then surrender because of political reasons. I just don't do that, and that goes back to me, why I keep running when I should probably take it easy, even though I have no hobbies, and enjoy the rest of my life.

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.

I'm not interested in Vice President. I'm hanging around Arizona. I'm running again for Sheriff.

In the old days when I was enforcing illegal immigration laws, when I had the authority from the 287G, everybody accused me that 100,000 people from foreign countries left town. They either went back to where they came from or whatever. So if this little old sheriff can cause, if you want to believe it, many, many people leaving and going back to their country, why can't you do that nationwide?

I don't rely on the media. I usually average one speech a day for 25 years. People know me because I'm out there.

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