if the ceo of buckhead city community, a resident of buckhead, they join me now.sulates why buckhead wants to break away, split from atlanta. briefly tell us what happened to you. >> so last summer in june, first off, good morning, todd, and good morning bill. last summer in june i had a break-in in my home where i was actually upstairs in my office working when i heard glass shafter in my living room area. it was about 2:30 on a friday afternoon right about the time where my children come home from school. so, i figured it was one of them clowning around and doing something. so, i went outside of my office to see a strange man in the middle of my living room and a light, robbing me. so, i was on the phone with 911 multiple times and could not get a line operator to pick up the phone while this man was inside my home. feeling extremely helpless, i did scream and say a few choice words to the intruder. i went over to my safe to try to grab my firearms. during all of this commotion all at this time, i'm still trying to get a hold of a live operator on 911. it was an

against buckhead city is we want a vote.nds worry about the safety of their family when they're sitting outside. >> one of the reasons i moved to buckhead as a single woman is because i helped raise my niece and nephew. one of the reasons i moved is because of safety. and that has declined. i have also heard other people say well, welcome to the real world. there's crime all around atlanta. well, we pay a premium, most of us. definitely not wealthy and i'm definitely not one of the white people who want to get away from black people or a class issue. i'm just a regular, hard-working person who lives in buckhead and seen the decline. so, unfortunately, people in other areas have not held their representatives accountable for the crime. so now that it's happening here, i think the common thing is we're not going to sit back and just say okay, crime is happening here. we want something done about it. >> ainsley: how will it work? how will you pay for it, the safety, the police department? how will you succeed? what does it look

i'm a huge supporter of buckhead city.uckhead is a victim of the crime in atlanta, just like the crime in chicago. let me tell you something about atlanta. atlanta has a higher murder rate now than chicago. look at what's happening to me or lori lightfoot. she is being kicked out of being the mayor of chicago and hopefully they finish the job because she doesn't deserve the position. she ruined that city with crime. buckhead is fed up with it. >> sean: i am hoping she gets her ass kicked tonight and loses. sorry, just being honest. [applause] i think this is really important. i don't see middle ground. for example, if you want to defund and dismantle the police and you want no bail, how do you reconcile that with the rest of us that believe in law and order and safety and security as a prerequisite to pursue happiness? how do you reconcile those that want open borders and those that want the laws enforced and secure borders? how do you reconcile energy independence and those that are willing to, like joe biden, import a 3

and bleeding into buckhead. they said, let us do it ourselves, we'll finance it, staff it and handle it. >> steve: started on saturday, week of protest and music festival near the site and at some point, people from the site from the music festival went over and that is what happened. the irony is the police would use that facility for better training for police, which we've heard many would like and for the fire department because they have antiquated facility right now, it sounds like. don't know how much this will derail the projects, they wound up on the front page of the atlanta journal constitution. >> ainsley: the police chief said this will not be tolerated and they are arresting anyone who does this and the project will go on. >> steve: indeed. cover on the "new york post," remember when aoc wore that tax the rich gown, which cost thousands, to the met gala. now because of a house ethices investigation, we're learning she really, really wanted to go to that particular gala. here is the thing, she can as
