charged deputies evidence guy influence reckless
This has been very controversial. It should not have been. It's only because this guy is a celebrity. My deputies did the right thing. They charged him with reckless driving. There was no evidence that he was under the influence while driving, and that's the way it goes. Period.
political campaigns slave
I don't have all these advisers, political advisers. I don't even talk to them because I'm not a slave to a campaign manager, and Trump isn't either.
media names care
The day I leave, you won't know how to pronounce my name. You could care less about me, and I should be dead and buried because there's not one media that will come and remember who Joe Arpaio is. That's the way it is in politics.
morning white guy
When you see a white guy at three in the morning on your beat in an alley, you kind of - "What's this guy doing here?"
fake president care
I don't care where [Ted] Cruz comes from. I don't care where the President comes from. Day one, I opened an investigation on a fraudulent government Hawaii document, period, on a birth certificate, so if you can say Cruz has fake documents, okay.
people guy may
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.
care kind sometimes
I roam the streets all the time. You'll be shocked. I'm shocked, everybody that comes up to me, "Oh, thank you, Sheriff. You're supporting Trump." I don't care who they are. They kind of whisper sometimes.
believe thinking believe-in-me
But believe me, there's a lot I'd like to say - but I don't think the time is right now.
country talking people
I love people that come from another country. I love talking to them.
gun here-i-am giving
Many times, when you go to arrest somebody, they pull their gun, and here I am, a federal agent, telling them to drop their gun. But the gun is like that. I give them a split second to drop it, and they drop it. I could have shot them - who is going to complain?
people today shots
Maybe today you could have shot anybody and get away with it. So there's many times, I could have killed people. Legally, I could have killed many people, especially working undercover.
life-is aggressive
Everything I do in my life is very aggressive.
believe home talking
I'd feel more comfortable talking to the blacks, or Hispanics, or the poor areas. I feel more at home, believe it or not.
people boss sheriffs
It takes a lot of work to do this every day, every day, but I feel, as a sheriff, I should get to know my people. I serve them. They don't serve me. I serve them. They're my bosses, and the more people I can see and talk to, I love it.
