people insulting care
There's a lot of other [than Donald Trump] people that say things you may call insulting, but no one seems to care about that.
guy kind old-fashioned
I'm kind of an old-fashioned guy.
giving stories way
I used to have trust with reporters. Give them scoops. Those were the old days. It's very strange, when you give a story and it doesn't come out the right way.
compassion law people
I have compassion, I've told you people that over and over again. Enforcing the law overrides my compassion.
thinking prove
If you mention what he said about rapists from Mexico, there are some that come over - I can prove that with how many I have in the jail system - but I don't think Donald Trump meant that everybody coming over are rapists. Come on, he knows that and I know that.
community trying together
I would hope to get together with the Latino community, if I could ever have them talk to me without screaming and threatening me. So I hope to get together with the community and try to explain what we do, so that's going to be one of my missions coming up.
people publicity hounds
Some people call me a publicity hound.
jail gang chains
Everything I did in the jails - chain gangs, everything - I haven't changed the policy. I did it, I stand by it, and I'm not going to change.
running president not-interested
I'm not interested in Vice President. I'm hanging around Arizona. I'm running again for Sheriff.
government federal-government bows
I don't bow down to the federal government.
couple beer law
I can get along great with the Hispanics. In fact, I sure would like to meet them, even the politicians, maybe in the back room or whatever, have a couple of beers and try to explain. But they need to understand that I enforce the laws. I want to listen to them and hear their problems. I want them to tell me what their problems are.
responsibility government surrender
I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.
way aggressive
Not that I ever did anything wrong. I was just aggressive. That's the way I am in my life.
thank-you hate people
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.
