our crime and we still haven't heard from a detectivive. >> todd: they were working an 18-hour shift when they arrived at your establishment. down 25%, a lot of officers to be down. why do you say that is happen something >> it is a huge number and this occurred since 2018 and it is terrible, and it is, due to the fact that the anti-police culture we have now and the lack of support, from government and from the administration, our authorized strength was about 1300 officers previously, which we didn't think was adequate to begin with, we need about 1600 officers on the police department and we're just above 1000 right now, that is not helpful when something happens to a business owner or citizen in our city and we're trying to respond when manpower is low.

>> todd: they are having trouble recruiting because of this attack on the notion of being an officer, notion of law enforce mentsz? >> we don't recruit, we can't recruit. we heard from our recruiters it is embarrassing when you don't have anything to offer that will permeate this issue going on in our country. it feels like an attack on law enforcement. our profession is dying and will continue that way, and will not get better unless we step up and do something to stop that and to ensure that we have folks that want to come do the job. >> todd: when your business dies, the business of policing go the way of dot do-do, as well.

states and gave the power back to the people, that is what the framers intended and all you read on social media online, see, the supreme court, we showed you, no, they showed you how it should be done. let people vote on this stuff and make their own decisions and not have it decided by a bunch of men and women in robes in washington. >> todd: it shows how truly ignorant people are of how the supreme court works, to your points, it worked as intended to. state rights, state decide.

>> president biden is making abortion a top priority after signing an executive order that paves the way for medicaid to pay for out-of-state abortion. joining us live from cpac texas now. you're joe biden there talk about the power -- i've got to tell you you. i think the fact that jill biden is trying to speak for all the women, that's a big mistake. what i've learned as i've traveled across the country is the fact that you are finding more and more women for speaking out, very proud of their conservative principles and proud of standing up for america first policies. they have to remember that a woman is not simply a body part. it's not all about abortion.

it's about other big important issues including making sure we know strong economy. and so i think the mere fact that joe biden is moving forward with an executive order on medicaid, paying for abortions, this is something the american people reject it they don't want taxpayer dollars going to abortion. it's something you're going to see a continued battle as we enter into the midterm election and into the presidential election year. >> president biden is assuming all women are pro-choice. there's a lot of women out there, the pro-life movement is really run by movement. a lot really happened this week when it comes to the abortion issue but there's also the doj

appeared where to start going? is it the sign of more things to come when it comes to the doj? >> certainly you are seeing the divide between the red states and the blue states. they are allowing the voters to decide where it stands. obviously their legislators decide where the abortion issue will stand. states like texas and oklahoma pushing for the heartbeat bill, and you are seeing more and more these states moved in that direction. obviously for the blue states their creed to move forward with more of a radicalized late-term abortion scenario which i think is very tragic for the rights of the unborn. this battle, as we know with the overturning of roe v. wade, it's going to lie in the face and it's going to take time. there will be some growing pains in each of the states. but josie definitely the mainstream media pushing this

narrative of abortion rights and that's important to be moving forward in the states. this is going to have to -- like i said it's going to have to play itself out. obviously kansas was a disappointment with the loss of the value to value the vote event meant that didn't pass. so they are going to have to revisit -- they're going to have to revisit it say to you we go with the heartbeat bill? that's where they're going to have to listen to their constituents. >> switching gears. the white house not bragging about gas prices dropping $0.80 and 50 days even though it still almost a dollar higher than last year. take a listen to those. >> prices are coming down even as boudin's war continues to put pressure on global energy supplies. that is not good.

the point of the white house breaking the football is in it a little risky to be celebrating when americans are still suffering? >> well i find the biden administration has been very much in defense pair they've not been able to take control of the situation. he's made america energy dependent. i think that when you're looking at the fact that their focus so much is to try triangle bag saudi arabia for oil in these other countries were we here in the united states -- i'm here in texas talk about the idea ability to produce oil and make sure america doesn't need to depend on foreign resources. that's an outrage. i think that's why you are seeing the vast majority of americans -- they blame pollutant for what we've seen in the chaotic energy market but

they also blame president biden and the democrats policies were they are more focused on electric vehicle subsidies, climate change subsidies, which we know are not going to meet the immediate demands of americans. i think for the biden administration they've only hurt themselves and it's going to hurt in the midterm elections for the democrats. >> watch out when it comes to gas prices because their increasing oil production by one of the smallest margins ever. you could make the argument that that really is the end result of president biden's trip to saudi arabia. you mention you're in texas and former president donald trump is going to get a keynote address at cpac in texas this week which is why you are there. can you give us a preview of what to ask fact? >> i have to tell you something to bring all of the national
