and grocery store. and no budget, no matter where and what they say they are going to do is going to fix that. >> carley: yeah and then when you talk about president biden funding law enforcement. here is a breakdown of the numbers $17.4 billion for doj law enforcement includes 1.7 billion to crazy gun trafficking and regulate the firearm industry. that's key there. 30 billion to support state and local law enforcement as well. i know that your husband is in law enforcement and this is an issue that's very near and dear to your heart. what is your reaction to the owe-those numbers from president biden? >> well, first and foremost, we have to remember that the president's budget is just a wish list. it has nothing to do with what the majority in congress produce which, of course, they haven't produced a budget. and i don't have confidence that they will. but, when you look at what is actually in this request, there is only $527 million going to the cops grant and that is what

is hitting and affecting our local law enforcement in our communities. and that program wouldn't be plussed up until the next fiscal year if they were to adopt this particular budget. there is a when lot of money to the tune of billions for atf and for more gun control measures and gun buy back measures which is in the biden administration's words are to curb gun violence. when in relates as they do is keep guns and weapons out of law-abiding citizens hands and crime when which they say they are concerned about. smoke in mirrors misdirection. if they don't deal with the root cause of opioids and crime in our communities by closing the border, then this is all for not. there is zero mention of border security in this budget. ties back to the fact that every single city is a border town. they can all day long that is not going to solve any of our crime issues here in the

country. >> todd: stay with the border and take a look new individual know of large migrant caravans mass released by the federal government. all of this as border patrol expect as record breaking surge at our border. why doesn't this new fake we care about law and order trust us attitude from the white house apply to the border crisis? >> well, i mean, we can all see through that i think any american with common sense sees through this nonsense. this administration has no regard for law and order. in fact, when they talk about border, they mention that they are going to be spending millions of dollars on lawyers or these individuals who have crossed into our country illegally. when you dig into what this proposed budget is all about. it is about supporting the illegals here. continuing that magnet but doing nothing in the way of helping construct the wall or give the resources that our border patrol agents need to do their job. this is, again, misdirection and it is going to be a hollow attempt at gaining back voters going into a critical midterm.
