E22 - The Constitution and America's Traditional Values: Guest Mark Lamb, 24th Sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona

Founded on the principles of liberty and equality, the Constitution is a living document that defines the foundation of our government and the rights and freedoms of every American. It is a testament to the founding fathers' belief in democracy. Upholding the Constitution and protecting it from those who would seek to undermine it are absolutely important.

Favorite Quotes

50:05 - "I think that we've lost touch with the traditional values that built America, that made America great for so long, that made us the greatest country on Earth, and our ability to have success and to invent in all these different things. This modern world wants to minimize and demonize those same values and traditions that this country was built off." - Sheriff Mark Lamb

14:12 - "I have a very screw-it-do-it attitude sometimes. So, I was just like screw it and let's do it. We started running and I knew nothing about politics. So, I gambled on the fact that the guy that I was going to run against was going to run for Congress." - Sheriff Mark Lamb

15:09 - "We surround ourselves with people that don't have a chance. Those are the people that we need in leadership positions now, people that aren't politicians, that don't pledge allegiance to the system. They pledge allegiance to the people. That's who we need." - Jim Larkin

24:20 - "We are in a day and age where they want to believe that mandates and orders would supersede anything else. And it just isn't true. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and it is what I swore an oath to defend. And I wish that every law enforcement officer had the same mindset that we're going to do what the constitution said." - Sheriff Mark Lamb

29:13 - "At one point, the way this country is pushing and the federal government's pushing, it's going to a point where the states are likely going to have to take a stand against the federal government on things like this." - Sheriff Mark Lamb

39:02 - "For any of your listeners out there, it should not matter whether you are a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent, if you care about human beings, you should absolutely care about border security. Cartels are abusing people on a daily basis. They raped the women. They use the children as pawns, children who they steal and purchase at the threat of violence on the other side of the border. They cast them aside like a used pair of shoes when they get here. They extort the men and force the women to carry drugs in this country. Eight of 10 women who come across the border are raped. This is not the American way. Anybody who condones this under the name of politics, because the president you voted for is okay with these open borders, needs your moral compass check." - Sheriff Mark Lamb

48:58 - "I believe that everything about God is freedom and liberty - freedom of choice, the ability to make those choices for ourselves or whether we exalt ourselves. One of the two, that choice was given to us and I think it's a godly principle." - Sheriff Mark Lamb

49:19 - "I support anybody's right to have the religion they want. And I believe that you have to have an anchor in your life. I think that having a good religion, a good base, a good belief in God is probably one of the best anchors that I've seen, especially in this profession that keeps you grounded, keeps you focused, keeps you being able to process the things that we see that nobody else should see but we see it over and over again. And for me my religion, my faith in God and Jesus Christ has been what's guided me through all that." - Sheriff Mark Lamb

1:11:41 - "This world is hungry for authentic people. This world needs leaders. Not everybody wants to be great. It needs people that want to be great, but we all have different DNA, different irises, and different fingerprints that were by design. God sent each and every person here with a different set of skills and talents and it's your job to share it with the world." - Sheriff Mark Lamb

1:12:45 - "Depression, anxiety, and unhappiness in this world comes from people who are trying to control an outcome that you just don't have any control over. As the world gets more and more chaotic, you realize you have less and less control. Whatever it is, control what you can control." - Sheriff Mark Lamb
