in texas, because of this texas made to reduce incarceration in 2007, all these burdens would have been picked up by the counties and you would have a host of new problems shifted to a different level of government. that is not what happened. what happened in texas in 2007 is that a state agency cut the legislative budget board told state legislators that because of growth in texas population we would need 17,000 extra prison beds. they had a budget surplus but did not want to spend all that money, they said let's find a way to do this in a cost-effective manner. 0hey took a smaller amount, $24 million, and put it into improving probation and parole. thatpanded the drug courts we have to handle drug addiction among criminal offenders. the years went by, when 2012 rolled around and we were told extrald need 17,000 beds, we did not need them and were able to close down three prison facilities. one in 2011 and two in 2013. the number of offenders in prisons has dropped. most importantly, the texas crime rate is at its lowest point since 1968. reason that you would see the same kinds of sig

private property rights in the state of texas. i don't have a problem in the world with attorney general abbott's words here. the key on this from my standpoint is the federal government already owns too much land. we ought to be having a conversation in this country about how can the federal government divest itself of a huge amount of this land holdings it has across the country rather than looking for ways to come in and take over private property that's been in the people's land -- >> it is private property? >> from my perspective it is. >> the bureau of land management says this is the public domain and has been since the mid 1980s. >> then the government will say mexico used to open the state of texas, so let's have a conversation about where the rightful ownership of this is. we go back with the native americans and have -- are we going to relitigate every piece of private property we have in this country because we have a federal government that's out of control? >> how do you view the statement of senator harry reid? he d

we now have a new statement from texas senator republican ted cruz from texas. he says my prayers are with all the fort hood community that has been impacted by today's shooting including the first responders who have been actively working to move people out of harm's way and secure the area. he says his office will also continue to monitor what is going on there and to offer any assistance as necessary. again we are waiting to hear from secretary of defense hagel and we have also heard from president obama saying he is heartbroken over what he is hearing about the shooting at fort hood and he is promising to get to the bottom of this. there will no doubt be a lot of questions from the president, from the military, for others to answer about how this could happen twice in five years, why procedures weren't in place to try ensure something like this could not happen again. obviously, this is a huge military base, and a lot of folks worked there. they come in with their -- if they're already badged to come in, they are just waved into the base, they are not search
