In this video 0:00 A Journey into Law Enforcement5:24 The Rule of Law and Personal Sacrifice9:08 A Call to Serve and Protect
A Journey into Law Enforcement 0:08 So I'm the sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, which is located between Phoenix and Tucson. Tucson. There's only 15 counties in Arizona, so very large counties. Our county0:19 is the size of the state of Connecticut land wise, 5400 square miles. We've got about 600 plus employees and a budget of around 60000000 dollars that we work with.0:34 How did I get into law enforcement? A friend, a neighbor. I was a businessman. Didn't come from a law enforcement family. As a matter of fact, nobody in my family that I know of has been a cop. Nobody in my wife's0:46 family. I was married, 5 kids, had my own business. Had a neighbor talk me into going on a ride along, which was at, Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community. Went on that ride along. We had a call where a0:58 a guy had found his 20 year old, or his 14 year old daughter with a 20 year old guy. And so they get into a little scuffle, guy runs out the back, we show up,1:09 we're out there looking for them. I don't know why, but they let me out of the car, and I'm armed with a flashlight in Courage. I see this old abandoned travel trailer behind the house, and I look in the window, and I1:20 see amongst all the trash and debris and clothes, I see what I think is a quarter size of skin. I'm over there and I tell these guys, hey, I think he's in here. Well, they go in and sure enough he's under1:32 there. They drag him out, rough him up, tase him, put him in cuffs. I went home that morning and told my wife, hey I'm gonna be a cop. 6 months later I was in the academy and started my career in law enforcement. I was1:44 34 years old when I did that. You know the first 4 years I wasn't sure what we were gonna get. I expected a different presidential outcome in 20 16 and was pleasantly surprised to see
1:56 that the person you know President Trump won. And I think it was kind of like a stay of execution because I could see under the last administration. That's why I ran for sheriff anyway. Under the administration of
2:08 Biden and Obama I could see their undermining of the rule of law, the deterioration of it, the concerted effort through the media and politicians to take away that trust in
2:20 law enforcement in the community. I I didn't want to stand by and not do anything about it so I ran for sheriff. And I was pleasantly surprised to see that we had President Trump come in the first 4
2:32 years. And it was very different. You know we saw people flourishing in the community, home sales, businesses coming in. We were able to work hand in hand with the federal government in making
2:43 sure we could help them achieve their mission which was securing the border. And then it changed halfway through. My second term has not been like that. Towards the end of my first term we dealt with COVID.
2:55 COVID was tough, but I believe firmly in God, family, freedom, the constitution, and that the constitution is the supreme law of the land. I could not see the justification
3:07 of basically what I viewed even then was you know a severe flu being the reason as to why we would shut down or put the constitution on back the back burner. When the governor
3:19 tried to extend the the the stay at home order, the lockdowns, I said no. We're not doing it. And here in Pinal County we believe in freedom, the constitution, and
3:31 and we supported the people's rights to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You know the government was out telling people who was essential and who wasn't, but in the minds of every American, every
3:42 father, every mother who was putting food on the table, we all thought our jobs were essential. I didn't think it was the government's place to determine whose job was essential and what industries were essential. To
3:54 everybody their industry was essential. We kept it open as as much as we could here. I wasn't for the mask mandates, and we never had a mask mandate here. I never required those masks here
4:06 at the sheriff's office for my deputies, and we didn't require the vaccines when that came about. And so those were some tough things to deal with, but for me it was easy because it was impeding
4:18 on freedom. It was impeding on people's right to practice their religion. It was breaking families and so it went against my 3 core values of God, family, freedom. You know the left likes to
4:30 use it as a negative term towards me. What I believe in is I think every sheriff should be a constitutional sheriff. I think every elected official should be a constitutional elected
4:42 official. I've had several media outlets come to me and use this as like well, you're considered a constitutional sheriff, as if that's a negative. What you should be asking is all the other elected officials why they
4:53 are not following the constitution. We all swore the same oath. Sheriff, governor, whoever it is, we all swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution. So the question shouldn't have
5:05 been posed to me as to why I was following the constitution. Should have been posed to them as to why they were not. I took my oath seriously. I take the constitution seriously as the supreme law of the land.
5:17 I wasn't gonna get bullied out of that. Yeah. Look. Being a guy that believes in the rule of law is I think it's the the backbone of America. The founding fathers understood. You know, the very first charge of the
The Rule of Law and Personal Sacrifice
5:28 constitution before you even got into the Bill of Rights and the articles in the very preamble the founding fathers laid out some things, and the first was, you know, we the people of the United States, in order to form
5:39 a more perfect union establish justice. It was the very first thing that they they said that we needed, because they understood the importance of the rule of law. It's what makes us different from all these other
5:50 countries across the world is our ability to have a functioning rule of law. That's changing and we're seeing people based on race or religion or your social ideologies
6:02 where they're getting a pass and other people are being held accountable. And that's what happens when you undermine the rule of law. Look, my son, he had his troubles. He, had a drug issue and we worked
6:14 we were trying to work with him. We said you can't drive our cars. We were at a a charity event 1 day and he calls us and said he had hit a guy on a bike. We showed up to the scene. Unfortunately, you know, the guy
6:25 survived, but you know he definitely was hurt and you know that broke our hearts. It broke his heart. Our son was very, you know, it hurt him a lot to know that he hurt somebody. But the hardest thing was I
6:37 went and checked on the guide, came back to my son, checked on my son, and then looked him in the eye and said I'm sorry but I have to leave you. I can't be here because if I'm here, they're gonna say
6:49 that I in some way influenced this case. We called a different agency to come out. They did the case, and ultimately my son was held accountable and, served 6 months in jail
7:01 in my jail. You know, you wanna know how you treat your your inmates? Put your own son in your own jail. You'll find out just exactly how you treat your inmates, but fortunately, we treat our inmates with
7:13 dignity and respect, and my son was able to serve his time. But yeah look rule of law extends to everybody. But I think ultimately as he became clean it helped I think that was 1 of the catalysts to getting him
7:25 clean and he'd been clean for a long time and still would be to this day but we lost him. That was a catalyst to that and it was I think anytime somebody has to be held
7:36 accountable that puts a strain on it. You know that's part of being a leader or an elected official is you have to make decisions that are uncomfortable, or that
7:48 put people at a at a what would be perceived as a disadvantage, but you're you're not doing it maliciously you're doing it because it's the right thing to do. And ultimately I think when you follow that constitution or
8:00 the law things work out, and I think in the long run he saw that. We have a saying in here that no success can compensate for failure in the home. And look, running for office has an
8:12 impact on your family. You know I think part of you know what happened to my son was during that time I was running for sheriff because you spent a lot of time away from home and some and that was
8:24 at a very valuable time in teenage years of my children's lives and so there's a sacrifice that is there. Having said that my family we love America and we understand that this
8:35 country has been built on sacrifice, people sacrificing lives and fortunes, particularly the founding fathers. The amount that they put that they, dedicated
8:47 and sacrificed for America, and many of them never experienced the America they were building. We did, but many of them were sacra you know made those sacrifices. We're at a
8:59 place in this country now where we've lost our way a little bit and we need some men and women that will stand up that understand the value of of these things and put those things
A Call to Serve and Protect
9:11 first. We looked at this country and we said, hey look we need some people to show up and help. We looked at the border, the crime, the economy, national security, and all those things were things that were
9:22 right in my wheelhouse that I've spent a career dedicated to fighting and to trying to keep our communities safe from these things. Running a large agency with a large budget
9:34 and keeping my community safe from outside influences. And once people started talking about maybe running for US senate and taking a step to that level our initial thought was no. That's not on our plans.
9:46 But eventually we started feeling very compelled to do it. You know we lost our children in a DUI accident and then I wasn't interested in doing anything but when I finally started coming back around
9:59 somebody said something and it sparked. And I realized there's no guarantee for tomorrow and the only thing we take with us in this life is what we do. So being the patriots that we are and seeing the building burning to
10:09 the ground it wasn't in my nature to stand on the corner and do nothing. We decided as a family we would run-in and we would try to make a difference in whatever way we could. So I jumped into the
10:21 US Senate race in April of this year and just been on that grind of running this campaign and and trying to be that proven conservative fighter that
10:33 Arizona needs. Yeah I'm blessed we've been married for 29 years and I wouldn't have done half the things in my life had I not had the strong support of a very strong and courageous and and patriotic
10:45 woman as well. We've raised 5 great kids together, 3 grandkids. We've just been blessed. When we first started talking about senate, this was a decision that my wife and I made together because
10:57 it takes a family to be able to do this. Law enforcement takes a strong spouse. The things you see and go through in law enforcement in this career has a very deep impact. It
11:08 takes something from you you never get back, and so to have that spouse not only from the terms of law enforcement, but entering the political realm and then even digging down and doubling down
11:20 even deeper into the political realm. Couldn't have done it without her, and I'm just blessed to have her, and I'll that's probably the first thing I'll thank God for when I get to the other side. Oh, man. There's no
11:31 question we're in a battle of good and evil. That's what it is. You know, sometimes you can't make sense of some of this stuff but when you talk about it from that perspective it is a battle of good and evil. And the way
11:42 we make sense of it is our core values as a family and as Americans what we believe in. That's what we fight for. There's criticism that comes with it. When you stand for what's right in a
11:54 world that is pushing everything that's wrong it comes with criticism. But Aristotle has a great quote he says, the only way to avoid criticism in life is to do nothing, say nothing, or be nothing. Well
12:06 I refuse to not do anything, I refuse to not say anything when it's something's wrong, and I refuse to not be anything. I was sent here to this earth to be the best that I can be and I owe it to God and my
12:18 family to be the best man that I can be and I owe it to my country to be the best patriot that I can be. Those are the things that drive me and those transcend those the the critiques
12:30 and the and the hate that comes along with it. My wife has the best saying though. Ultimately when you deal with the criticism and all of the things that come along with it, she has a saying that we said we're just gonna
12:40 bury these people in an avalanche of love and light. We focus on being positive, going out, dealing in hope, giving hope to people that are feeling frustrated and angry
12:52 and hopeless. We're trying to give hope and show that you can still be a good person in this world and make a difference. What else do you want people to know that they're not hearing in the mainstream media or just a
13:03 personal message to people who are watching this? That America is still the greatest country in the world. The mainstream media and the politicians want to create problems. It makes media and politicians necessary.
13:14 That's why they create conflict and problems. The truth is, we have our issues, but this is still the greatest country in the world. There is no other place to find freedom. Ronald Reagan said it best,
13:26 if we lose it here, you can't go find it anywhere else. This is the Alamo of freedom, and so I'm trying to do my part to protect it. There are still great men and women,
13:38 and frankly, the majority of Americans are like you out there listening today. Second Kings 6 16, and he answered, fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And that
13:50 is the truth. Don't be misled. The majority of Americans are good, good, decent people who just wanna be left alone and don't want the government to intrude. You know, running for the US Senate, there's people like me
14:01 that still believe in that, that will do everything that I can to pull the chain back on the government and, let you live your life and experience the greatness of this country. You can come to sheriff lamb for senate
14:13 dot com. Please come support. Drop a check-in there. You can put your credit card on there. Unfortunately, mother money is the mother's milk of politics, and you can't run a campaign without
14:25 it. And then if you live in Arizona, please get on there, sign my petition, get me on the ballot, and let's do what we can to get people that are true patriots back in Washington, DC that wanna take this country back.
