When I'm governor, we're going to give them all the resources they need for law enforcement, just like as I've done as Washington county executive. I've got law enforcement's back 1,000%. I will when I'm governor. And If it requires me to, I will call the president myself personally and ask for National Guard troops if the mayor and the county executive don't cooperate. In theory, at least as it looks now, if you were governor, it could be a divided legislature, perhaps Democrats, the Senate, Republicans, the Assembly. Let's just take that example. (05:06–05:15)
