Failla made the comments right in front of the red-carpet entrance while President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and the entire Cabinet were inside.
“Looks like they have like two random chicks holding the front door open,” Failla says. “Like, guys, they’re not even trying anymore…I just mean, like, they’re not even Secret Service people.”
Failla continued, “It’s like the girls who work here are holding the door. Even if it were the guy, that wouldn’t even make it better…Like, they might as well put a door stop in. They put up a doorstop and a scarecrow, you know, f-ck with this guy.”
The reporter turns toward the camera at the end, his expression shifting as he apparently realizes he’s been recorded.
Yikes! Fox 5 caught on hot mic talking about the security at the Correspondents Dinner.

Failla recounted his experience during the shooting in an appearance on Fox News on Sunday, noting that he had already thought the security was bad.
“I had just left the red carpet where we had finished taping some red carpet interviews before the dinner, and as I was walking into the room, I heard what sounded like chaos, and I saw men charging the stage,” Failla told Trace Gallagher. “My initial take was, that was an attack on President Trump, and I hit the deck only to see him whisked away.”
He continued, “And then, of course, all of the chaos that ensued in the room of people getting locked in and, you know, there’s so much intensity in that room to begin with because we were there for a party. That’s the thing that makes this so much more insane, is that Trump had put his animosity aside with the people many people blame for the tension in our politics, the ones calling him Hitler and calling him the Gestapo.”
