Fox News: San Diego Port Security Says WMD Found On American Soil

Video
» 30 comments

Today on Fox News Megyn Kelly and Trace Gallagher explored an embarrassing admission made by a Port of San Diego security officer who implied there were in fact weapons of mass effect found somewhere in San Diego. The Department of Homeland Security attempted to deny the officer’s unintentional reveal by suggesting he was confused and nervous, but the tape suggests he may have been overcome with those emotions only after he spoke about the supposedly found weapon.

When asked by a local reporter whether he found any nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, the officer said “not at this location.” The reporter persisted, “but they have found them?” The officer replied, “yes . . . well . . . ” until he was interrupted by a Public Affairs representative. He then attempted to clarify his statement, “I would say that at the Port of San Diego we have not.” The reporter smelling uneasiness, probed deeper, “have you found one in San Diego?” Clearly unsure how to respond, the officer was finally rescued from the awkward silence when the Public Affairs representative jumped in and wanted the questions to be limited to only the Port of San Diego.

Kelly accurately concludes if anyone should be nervous it’s the public affairs people who allowed such a starting revelation to become public. And maybe a lot more people should be nervous because if such weapons were actually found, and that information was kept private, what else might the Department of Homeland Security be keeping from us?

    This can’t be real, because I’ve learned from MSNBC that FOX NEWS isn’t really a news channel !!

    “what else might the Department of Homeland Security be keeping from us?”

    Everything they can get away with!!

  • BatBoy

    I saw this live….it is pretty interesting…not sure what to make of it.

    I think my question would be “Have you ever found “WMD” coming across the border. That would be something they would like to keep quite.

    This is worth watching where it goes.

  • timzank

    Not to worry, Big Sis has a “handle” on all those pesky “potential man made disasters”.

  • Olby Sucks

    It’s just a matter of time when we have crack pots like janet, obama, hillary and all the rest of the deniers in charge. We have wide open borders, how could this NOT happen?

  • lazzzlo

    I never will live my life paranoid.

    But, there is nothing wrong with being aware of what could happen.

  • Dem4Ever

    This is big news and it will continue to grow legs until it becomes the Watergate of the 21st century. Get ready to be sworn in, Joe Biden! Lord help us all.

  • OxyCon

    But remember folks, everyone who is for border security is a racist! Especially the gringos!

  • Olby Sucks

    Lord help us all.

    Amen.

    Officials have confirmed a book known for celebrating suicide bombers was found in the Arizona desert… An official with the Department of Homeland Security told ABC15 a copy of “In Memory of Our Martyrs” was spotted Tuesday … [on] “a route known for smuggling illegal immigrants and drugs.”

    I warned about this months after 911. But I’m just an idiot commenter on blogs screaming into the ether.

    Did you predict an exact date?

    How many American posters here really cross the borders? Not fly but actually physically travel from one country to another?

    I’m a tall white boy who has changed a nationality (from Canadian to American) and the security is “interesting” to say the least.

    Everyone focuses on airports but do you have any idea how easy it is to cross our borders?

    This is the protection you get from people who are afraid to call terrorists “Terrorists”!

    Obama has a CIA head that gets his information from FOX! – an NIA head that thinks the Muslim Brotherhood is a Secular Group. – and a Home Security head that would sooner enable another Fort Bragg Slaughter,rather than have some ethnocentric Left-Wing group CLAIM to be “offended”!

    And let’s not forget a President who spends half his time LYING about his policies, and the other half apologizing to the world for “Evil America”!

    This is Today’s Democratic Party!

    It was a local ABC station that did the story. FoxNews “Mediaited” it.

    If there was a nuke, they successfully found it. They did their job, they did it well. They were a success.

    Wouldn’t this be a victorious thwarted attempt?

    So it was in fact on Fox News and not MSNBC… right??? Was Fox News covering a story that MSNBC was not??? Were they giving the local ABC station it’s credit for the story??? So in the end was this story being covered by Fox News???

    If such a great catch, why the silence? There may be a very good reason, I’m just sceptical of BOTH parties when in power… not just one. :)

    I’m skeptical also. I was just responding to the nutty guy over there that turns this and everything into a Democratic party failure.

    OK…

  • kvon

    Wait, Tatboy hasn’t said this is Obama’s fault or the work of George Soros yet? Weird.

  • uranassholeface

    Do people really fear anything with Jack Bauer on the case?

    You have made it very clear today that you have NEVER follow my comments before. You have also made it clear you have a very low IQ and a bigoted way of looking at the world and people in general. I have no doubt you will continue to blanket this site with your tripe and I will continue to point out what a moron you are. :)

    BTW… still looking for that comment of me supperting the ideas of GB or SP???

  • cmdrgmh

    You people are really asking too much. You will never ever know what the Feds know or don’t know. It’s been like that forever. You don’t even know what go’s on in your own Police Dept’s let alone any Govt. Agency. Your not supposed to know. That what All agency’s do. You never tell the public anything. Sorry, but that’s how things work.

    I don’t live on this site the way you do, I just jump on here and there and poke fun at you guys. I don’t keep records of everything you’ve said (like those rape comments) and while we’ve exchanged blows a number of times, I can’t think of specific time where you have supported Beck or Palin. But, you see, you’re an idiot who blindly follows (and has blindly defended) Fox News on a number of occasions. So I made an educated guess.

    Educated guess??? Really??? I don’t think there is much education in your guess work.

    This explains why we didn’t find them in Iraq; the moved them to the states drug mule style.

    Tell that to the families of the Ft. Bragg victims!

    Tell those families that it WASN’T Political Correctness that killed those soldiers!
    Read the report!

    Tell them that it wasn’t Democrats – and THEIR Media – that drove the “Islamaphobic” SMEAR, the same way they Played the RACE CARD Smear for 50 years!

    Or are rational people just supposed to keep silent – afraid of until a WMD is delivered,

    Sooner or later, we’re going to see a mushroom-clowd over one our cities, that’s a given. No matter how good our Homeland Security is, it’s going to happen. The problem is, our Homeland Security is a JOKE!! Run by an idiot, for an idiot! So, “sooner” would be my pick. Ms.Napolitano suggests that because there are only 3-thousand a week crossing our borders, instead of 9-thousand, that our borders are secure. That’s the reasoning that permeates this administration.
