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.

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.

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.

Some people call me a publicity hound.

A ‘liberal paradise’ would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive health care, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities and only law enforcement personnel have guns.

I love the president Donald Trump. He supports law enforcement and I'm very humbled. I said publicly, recently, pardon or no pardon, I will be with him until the end.

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?

I'm not a computer guy. I have my Smith Corona. I would know nothing about computers.

I don't look at me taking risks or if that's going to affect me politically.

If they [mexicans] cross the border, I think, and they are violating the law, then that word criminal does connect with that violation, so if they're violating the law, I guess you can call them criminals. We call everybody else criminals that violate the law.

I was taught to work hard and to be honest, and that's what I try to do, so that's it.

I don't bow down to the federal government.

I think it doesn't matter what color you are. Everybody is getting the - getting the stick, and I'm sure Trump feels the same way.
Joe Arpaio
Image
I believe Donald Trump is the best guy for president and I'm not going to shy away and I take the risk. I could just stay home and don't talk about any candidate.

You make deals in business and in government if you're smart.

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.

You get so tired of political correctness. I'm noted for speaking out all my career.
