The homicide rates in the state of Maryland since I've been the governor are down nearly 25% that we have seen in Baltimore City. The last time the homicide rate was this low in Baltimore City, I wasn't born yet. Wow. That's the kind of drops we've seen. And now, despite that, the President's talk about how we have children who are natural born killers and he's now going to send the National Guard in our community. (12:37–12:41)
