Second hour, Clay and Buck kicks off now and we're joined by our friend Nicole Parker. She's a Fox contributor and a former FBI special agent. Nicole, great to have you back. It's my understanding that you at one point were at the Bureau while Comey was the director. What was that traumatic experience like for you?
Nicole Parker
Well, first of all, thank you for having me. I always love to join y' all. I can tell you that I love being an FBI special agent. But the moment that I knew that things were going downhill at The FBI was July 5th of 2016. And it was when Jim Comey got in front of the American people and said that no reasonable prosecutor would charge Hillary Clinton for her mishandling of classified information on her personal server. And at that moment, it was just downhill with Comey. I mean, it was an absolute train wreck. And then you go into Operation Crossfire Hurricane and his involvement with that. And he, I think, single handedly destroyed the FBI. And I think that many of my FBI colleagues would certainly agree with that. The FBI has never recovered since his destruction. I can tell you that. Under Robert Mueller. You know, he left the FBI. Comey comes in, and we're thinking, okay, let's see what this new director is all about. And he purported himself as being very moral, a strong moral compass, and he does the right thing. And I'm this great guy. And I'll tell you that at first we were fooled. Like, we were like, wow, this guy seems really cool. Like, he seems very, you know, gregarious and, you know, for the agent. But I can tell you it went downhill very quickly. And I'd say most FBI agents, current and former, see him as the root cause of the FBI's problems and a total narcissist.
Joe Getty
Uh, all right, Nicole, this post. 86. 47. I am maybe spending too much time trying to delve into James Comey's head. Um, but based on the way that he initially posted it and the fact that he's previously posted shells that show, or a shell that shows a suggestion that you should vote for Kamala Harris, I do not find it persuasive that he was just walking along the beach, took a random picture of four numbers spelled out on the. On the beach, decided to share that with his audience, and had no idea what the significance of the four numbers was and nothing to do with the creation of the four numbers in Seashells. You're a former FBI agent. Am I crazy? For that analysis point one, point two, I want you to. To analyze this further as this. As if this were an investigation. I would think that this could lead to his phone being seized, because we know the evidence of this photo presumably came from his phone. I don't think he was walking around with an iPad or with a laptop outside taking photos. Right. And I think he likely has other photos that might suggest who did this or what the intent was. Am I crazy to you for either of those aspects of analysis?
Nicole Parker
You know, I'm very impressed with your investigative skills. I would say you're spot on. First of all, Comey is playing ignorance right now. Oh, I had no idea. I had no idea. Okay. First of all, Jim Comey, you were the FBI director. You should know better. Anyone that knows anything about crime, you know, terminology, you know better. He knew exactly what he was doing. And I think the fact that you first are going to look at the individual as an investigator, you're going to look at the person, and I'm going to look at Jim Comey, and you're immediately going to draw a profile. Jim Comey is not some random guy off the street who was in Butler, Pennsylvania, some no name kid. He was the former FBI director. Okay. And then you're going to look at his track record. What is his relationship to President Trump? 47. Okay. He got fired by President Trump in May of 2017. His ego has been bruised so badly, and he has never recovered from that. That firing was absolutely justified. But again, he is the former FBI director and his track record is that he was fired and that he's actually said that President Trump is a threat to America. He believes that Trump is a danger to our country. The chance of this being a coincidence is absolutely zero. And again, as an agent, you're going to go in. Yeah. You're going to gather all of the evidence. You're going to look at what he did. Did he take the picture? How did that shell formation occur? The Secret Service will be visiting his house. You have to remember, Secret Service falls under the Department of Homeland Security, which is Kristi Noem's realm. Obviously, Kash Patel and the FBI will be there to provide any support necessary. I think it is fair at this point that this is fully investigated. I think that Jim Comey for too many years has skated by on things and gotten right up to the edge. And he doesn't know when to stop. He likes to be in the spotlight. He likes the attention. And he doesn't have a plan to be in the spotlight. He just likes to create problems, and he's creating problems for himself right now. I know that he has a book that's coming out. Maybe he thought it would be a good move to have some, you know, media blitz. If anything, this is going to be disastrous for his media appearances. This is going to hurt him drastically. But again, from an investigative perspective, I do think the Secret Service is going to delve into this quite deep, especially considering the fact that President Trump has already had two assassination attempts on him. And they do. They take that rhetoric very seriously. And I've worked closely with the Secret Service. Do I think that he's definitely going to be prosecuted? You know, that's up to the agents and the prosecutors. It is very difficult to prove, you know, some of these threat cases and intent. But again, for him to say he didn't know, he absolutely knew, you don't just stumble across a shell formation on the beach and then you take a picture of it and you choose to post it on your social media, that's quite insulting to the American people and frankly, to the law enforcement agency that he used to be the director of. And again, let me just note, he was not respected at the FBI. He was disgraceful. And he has recently talked about potential threats against public. I believe this was a few months ago. You know, there are these ongoing threats and poll workers in the election, but yet you choose to post this photo. And then he says, oh, I didn't know that. You know, 86 implied violence. How does everyone else know this but not you? And so again, I think he's definitely in some hot water right now and I think it's catching up to him. He has skated by for so many years on things that were just inappropriate. He has never been federally charged or charged with anything. Again, I'm not saying I think a charge is going to come of this, but I do think a very thorough investigation and a reasonable prosecutor will give it a very good look and see what they've got.
Buck Sexton
So I, Nicole, I don't, I don't know how this is going to go.
Nicole Parker
Right.
Buck Sexton
I don't know how this is going to go. But certainly there's a possibility here that Comey can go full tapper and his book could be if I rigged the whole Russia collusion thing, this is how I did it. And then, you know, put it forward for everybody so that we could all sit around and say, so wait, are you, are you saying that you're responsible for that or are you? Because apparently that's how the Democrats roll these days. They do a really bad thing and then they write a book, truth telling about the bad thing that they did. But let me ask you about the FBI and what's going on internally there to the degree that you're hearing from former colleagues who are still inside the Bureau. I know Cash Patel, I know Clay, and I both know Cash and both know Dan Bongino. These are very competent people. They're patriots. Deputy Director Bongino has been pretty regularly updating everybody with some of what they are up to internally. Can you give us any insight into how the FBI is being cleaned up and what is going on over there now that this administration finally is in a position to do something about all the deep state shenanigans, corruption and malfeasance that we have seen?
Nicole Parker
Right. So again, going back to the original statement that I made on air with y' all, you know, for me, 2016, July 5th of 2016 is when I started seeing the very deep corruption. This corruption did not start overnight. We're now in 2025. This has been going on for a very long time and Director Patel has a lot of work cut out for him. You know, I myself am working on A book right now and just laying out all the reasons when I was making the decision to leave and to walk away. I mean, it's just overwhelming. One thing after another after another after another. And as you come in as the FBI director, first you have to get up to speed on the organization itself. He has to determine who can I trust here, who is legitimate and who is part of the problem. Like I said, there's two FBI's, FBI one, are the good folks doing the good work, honest, hard workers, FBI two, deep corruption, problematic. And they need to be, you know, gotten rid of. And I think the goal for Director Patel is, is to make it one FBI. But he's got to determine where are the underlying issues. And I think he started at the top, right on the seventh floor with executive management. Those individuals were all, you know, they are all gone. And he's brought in new people. That's a very good first step, looking at each individual field office. The special agent in charge of all the 55 field offices around the country, he's looking at every single one. And then you've got to go under that layer, the assistant special agents in charge. Then you have to go under that layer, the supervisory special agents, and then you get down to the field agents. So I think what he's doing is taking the overwhelming problems, for example, like we've spoken before, the kneelers to, you know, the BLM protesters, they got promotions. That is unacceptable. Those people have been moved out to other assignments. And now Elvis Chan, who was heavily involved with big tech collusion out of the San Francisco field office. There's other individuals that I know are being looked at, reassigned. And again, it's not because of, oh, well, they support Trump or they don't support Trump or they supported Biden or just no one cares who you voted for. Did you do the right thing with your law enforcement power when you were at the FBI? Are you using your power to push your own political and social agendas? And unfortunately, a lot of people at the FBI did. And so he's got a big task in front of him because what he has to do is he has to eradicate FBI two people that were doing the wrong thing, abusing their power simultaneously. He has to build up FBI one, because people like myself and amazing colleagues I worked with, they're doing good work. And so you've got to continue to build morale and maintain that while saying, FBI 2, you are going to be gone. And so I commend him. I think he's doing a very good job. But for the naysayers that say, well, I haven't seen this happen or this or this. This problem didn't happen overnight and solving it isn't going to happen overnight either. But I think with Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, I mean, this is a solid team of individuals and they will make the FBI great again. I truly believe that.
Joe Getty
Nicole, I'm continuing with my Sherlock Holmes moves here. Here's what Jim Comey actually posted, wrote after he posted. I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me. But I oppose violence of any kind, so I took the post down. Now, again, I think the odds that he didn't have anything to do with these seashells is, is very, very low. But he's acknowledging that he knew the 47 and he's acknowledging that he knew 86 meant something bad. Right, because otherwise it could be 86, 47 could mean that you're a huge fan of Trump. What is his real defense here? I think Buck may be right, that it's just going to be, I thought it just meant like, Trump stinks. But given that he's an FBI agent, what percentage of FBI agents in your experience would know that 86 meant kill?
Nicole Parker
Again, I work violent crime, so I look at things differently. If you're a white collar agent, that's like crunchy numbers and bank records.
Buck Sexton
So.
Joe Getty
Yeah, that's a good point. So for people who, who are in the FBI and he would have worked as an FBI supervisor at all different things. But yes, for your point, for people who are engaged in investigating violent crime, obviously that's different than somebody who's an accounting that's trying to figure out whether there's, you know, drug running in that way, what percentage of people that have been involved in violent crime investigations do you think would have recognized that?
Nicole Parker
I would say a large majority. I would say a large majority because we have to understand and know the lingo, the verbiage, things that people are saying, what that means, how you interpret it. But again, it can be noted that Jim Comey was never an FBI agent. And that's very obvious with the way that he ran that FBI. He was a DOJ guy through and through. But again, to play the ignorance card, he knows very well. You know, turning a blind eye is not, that's just not a great defense. And the problem that I have is that he's gotten away with these types of things for so long, like such egregious activity and, you know, it's just. It's going to catch up to him. I think my recommendation with Jim Comey is I would suggest you stay quiet, keep yourself out of trouble, stop trying to be in the spotlight. But to play ignorance again, you've got to look at intent and looking at how that even transpired. And like, you know, Clay mentioned the phones, looking at what else might be on there. But again, I do not think that you. He did, he did not know. I mean, whether it's to kill, to get rid of, even to say to get rid of. Okay, let's say he didn't mean oh, to kill. He knew it was a political statement. He clearly admitted that, you know, it's a political statement. So what did you think it was a political statement of? Oh, to just get rid of Trump. Okay, well then what does that mean? How is that any different you want to get rid of?
Joe Getty
Particularly as you know, Nicole.
Nicole Parker
Yeah.
Joe Getty
In the wake of double assassination attempts, getting rid of Trump has quite a different connotation than it might have before. Cole, keep up the good work. We appreciate you and thanks for coming on and breaking all this down for us.

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show Sherlock Clay on the case. Donald Trump Jr. Has posted a very funny message. Buck on his Twitter account. Donald Trump Jr. Writes as follows I was walking along the beach and these rocks and shells suddenly appeared. I assumed it was a political message. And it spells out, trump won, bitch. I can't stop. I can't stop laughing about what a moron Jim Comey is. And I'm telling you, Buck, you think I'm crazy on this. I am telling you there are multiple photos on his phone that are going to provide evidence that he laid out all these seashells. And I bet he has friends that posed alongside of the 8647. And when they seize his phone, they are going to find that he has been frantically deleting images because he is a moron. And that would prove that he intentionally posted the message and. Or his friends or family did, because I'm not crazy enough to think that he's a crazy. I gotta dive into this. I love this whole story because it's so absolutely, patently absurd. Much more seriously is what's going on right now in Israel and the fact that we are in the midst of a really awful situation here. Another attempted missile attack yesterday. Fifth in the past week by the Houthis. And just when you think they may be limited, they attempt to do more ill to Israel. Eighty years ago this month, the horror of the Holocaust Final Solution came to an end. Half of all living Holocaust survivors today reside in Israel. Further testimony to just how special of a place it is. The pain of the past is only intensified by these kinds of missile attacks. The government of Israel does all they can, but many Israelis, both old and young, live below the poverty line. There's no safety net. That's why we support the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Fellowship provides a lifeline in the form of hot meals and boxes full of healthy food. For 25 bucks, you can help provide a food box. For $335, you can provide hot meals for an entire year. Go online@ifcj.org that's ifcj.org welcome back into Clay and Buck.
Buck Sexton
Okay, so we're talking to a former FBI agent about the Comey mess. We'll get into some of Clay's theories on this. He's going. He's going full Sherlock Holmes on this thing.
Joe Getty
I am.
Buck Sexton
And he's very, very astute in his observations about this. And he has decided that he has the whole. Do you want to lay this whole thing out?
Joe Getty
I will lay it out. Let's pretend that I am Sherlock Holmes. I have. You can see me in my. What did he wear? Seersucker? Is that what the outfit was called? I know he had like, the old school hat and the pipe. So you can.
Buck Sexton
Comes from the Hindu shirshakur. The British, during the British colonial period, adopted the crushed fabric we know as seersucker in the mid 19th century.
Joe Getty
By the way, is that your dog that is going crazy in the background there?
Buck Sexton
I'm trying to put it on the baby. Yes. My. My wife, who is human. So all of you who have dogs probably know this. It's, I assume, true of babies and toddlers as well. I'm the spare human. I'm the Prince Harry of humans. Carrie is the crown. Is the crown princess. You know what I mean? She's going to be the queen or whatever. She is number one and with the dog, and I am number two. So when she leaves for about five minutes, the dog acts like the world is coming to an end, even though I'm right here and she's at my feet.
Joe Getty
Ok, so if that is not James Comey kidnapped at that that you're hearing in the background whining as I lay out the reason that he's cooked. All right, so let me just. James Comey, for those of you who are just getting in your car and have not heard, this is the story that James Comey is now telling. Former FBI director. He is on the beach. He is claiming that he was just walking along the beach when he happened to see that someone he did not know had made a seashell formation that said 86 47. That he just was struck by how unbelievable that was, that there were seashell political messages on the beach that he took a photo of. It knew that it was negative about Trump, but despite his significant background in the FBI and criminal prosecutions, was not familiar with the concept of 86, which basically means kill, and took a photo and posted that, and only when he saw the reaction did he feel compelled to take it down. Now, my theory here is Sherlock Clay on the case. This is a series of improbable, highly unlikely scenarios that he is trying to string together to provide some form of defense for himself. First of all, how many times have any of you ever come upon a political message made with seashells on the beach? And there is no one who has made said political message anywhere in the vicinity of the message that they made with seashells. If you were intending to make a political statement with seashells at a minimum, wouldn't you stay near your political statement? This would be like making a sign and just abandoning the sign outside of a protest. It doesn't make sense, right My suggestion to you is all of the evidence points to Comey and or friends or associates being super weird, gathering seashells, doing this and making it right. His explanation, Buck, is just, he randomly came across a, like this is what you have to do.
Buck Sexton
You're going full Zapruder film on some seashells on the beach here, buddy.
Joe Getty
Like, yes, you know, I want him prosecuted. Ok, he did this. Ok, My second point on this, he posted on social media. Ok. I don't believe that he just took one photo. I think there will be multiple photos. I think he posed alongside of the seashells. I think whatever buddies or kids or family members that did this posed alongside of them. And he said, okay, I don't want you in the picture. I'm gonna post this message, claim that I saw it, but I don't want you guys in it. Haha. It's gonna own the own the Trump voters and we'll sit back and we'll have some Chardonnay and we'll watch all the comments roll in. He's a moron. So he didn't think about the pol. The the criminal implications. And then by his own defense, he recognizes that it's a negative comment about Trump but doesn't realize that 86 which means end, kill, do away with. He doesn't realize that it has violent negative connotations that might be even more particularly sensitive in the wake of double assassination attempts of Trump. All of that strung together is his defense. I would submit to you that the Secret Service is going to take his phone, that they may find that he has been trying to delete prior photos because he realized that they were going to show up and that they may be able to get him on not only making a threat to the president but then obstructing an investigation or Buck, he's going to claim he doesn't have his phone, he's going to pull a Tom Brady, they're going to show up a Hillary Clinton and he's going to have a hammer in his hand and he's going to have tried to destroy his phone already. I'm telling you, the odds of the story that he is telling being true are one in a thousand. It just doesn't add up. And then you also include that he's previously posted political messages telling people to vote with Kamala from Seashells. Is this guy the most, I mean, not only one political message that he happened to come across in Seashells 2. Have any of you ever come across in your life political messages and Seashells he's done it twice in six months. This guy's a liar. I think he's caught. I'm not saying this is the crime of the century. I'm just saying I think this is going to end up being prosecutable. And I think he could be arrested over this.
Buck Sexton
Comey sells seashells by the seashore. And by the way, sorry, yeah. Clay's really into this. So there you go.
Joe Getty
If some of you think I am crazy, you can weigh in. I'm telling you, this is. This is textbook. This is textbook moron behavior. And he's managed to create a crime, and I bet he's going to try to cover up the crime. And his story just doesn't add up.
Buck Sexton
He's. He's not going to get. He's not going to get processed. He's going to get investigated. I think, to be clear, I think he's going to have to sit down with Secret Service. I don't think they're going to let this go totally. But I don't. I don't think they're going to bring a charge over this. I could be wrong. I don't think Nicole Parker, who's in the FBI and thinks Comey. I think she loathes Comey maybe more than you and I do.
Joe Getty
She's blowing. Still blowing us up while she's off air.
Buck Sexton
She does not. She knows Comey. Like I uphold that. No one holds Fauci in lower regard than me. It's not very nice, Buck. No one holds him in lower guard. I think she actually may think Comey is worse than you and I do, which is tough, but not impossible. One thing I looked up because I was curious. So, you know, I grew up in the. In the 90s, as did Clay. And, you know, there used to be these rap songs and they would talk about like one eight seven, and one eight seven was the LAPD penal code for a homicide. So if someone called out a 187 over the radio, you know, that was what that was. I was curious. Where does 86 come from? You know, we all know what it means.
Joe Getty
That's a good question. Yeah.
Buck Sexton
And I was curious, so I looked this up. And please don't send me the alternate explanations because I also have X. AI And I can also look. I'm looking at all of them. It seems that it's most common in a restaurant context now to mean that you have canceled out an order. So, like, you know, 86 the COD special, something like that. Right. But they believe there is a The cod special.
Joe Getty
It's. Sorry, I'm just laughing. Of all the things that you could be 86ing out the COD spec. The. The. The 86. The. The order of pistachio ice cream.
Buck Sexton
You know, if you're from New England, clay cod is a staple. All right. Sorry it wasn't cobbler for you. People can't figure out pie. But nonetheless, you know, there's a little. I've noticed there's a little bit of a coastal elites versus the heartland interior vibe that comes up here sometimes. Mr. Clay, representing the south and the SEC. No, here we have the other background or story on this is apparently 86 Bedford street was a famous speakeasy in New York during prohibition. And 86 Bedford Street. And so when they would say. When the cops would come during Prohibition, they would just yell out 86, meaning that all the patrons had to leave. But there's a lot. This is one of these etymology unknown. A lot of different, like, ideas for this. Right. But it's the west village. I know 80 Bedford Street's one of the most beautiful streets on the West Village. They think it might actually come from the, you know, the term gay, by the way, as a term for people who are, you know, same, same sex attracted clay. You know, it comes from the West Village, from gay street in the West Village, which was a famous sort of gal point for the gay community. It's near where Stonewall Inn and other. Anyway, I just, you know, some of these things actually do come from. From stuff like that. So, yeah, they think that it might be 86 might be from the West Village in New York City. And. And it's used from prohibition era from 86 Bedford street that is the number one offering for this on Wikipedia and Google. So I don't know. And now, by the way, they've added the. The James Comey and Clay full Zapruder film analysis should be coming up soon here of the Comey 8647 on.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I would also like to. This may hurt my Sherlock Holmes. I think I conflated Matlock and Sherlock Holmes. Matlock was the seersucker suit. My apologies to Andy Griffith.
Buck Sexton
But you thought Sherlock Holmes wore a seersucker suit, Clay.
Joe Getty
Well, somebody. I thought. Did I say it wrong? Somebody says that I said seersucker and I meant to say houndstooth. And I think that is correct.
Buck Sexton
I think you meant houndstooth. That's right. You said seersucker. Because I got into the British Raj Imperial era of fashion. Think about all the stuff that we got from this. We were talking about colonialism and how there's some good stuff that came out of colonialism. Khaki pants, seersucker suits, madras shorts. All thanks to the British taking over India for a while. I'm just saying, you know, silver lining there.
Joe Getty
So I apologize. Seersucker and houndstooth, especially houndstooth because you know, Alabama's the bear Bryant was a houndstooth wearer. You know, Buck, Alabama used to be good at football. I mean, I remember back in the day when they actually were really good at football. I mean that was feels like a very long time ago now.
Buck Sexton
We were having way too much of like a jolly show here. And Clay just wanted our phone lines to be filled with rage. So he has poked the roll tide.
Joe Getty
Poke the bear. Poke the bear. Literally, legitimately, coming from the houndstooth connection. They used to be good at football down in Alabama. I don't know what happened. Nick Saban retired. Now he's buddies hanging around with Trump. They're like the buddy, but it's like the Lethal Weapon, the buddy cop comedy movie that we never knew.
Buck Sexton
Is Nick Saban married? Maybe he needs a 23 year old girlfriend.
Joe Getty
I think he's been married 50 years.
Buck Sexton
Okay, maybe not that.
Joe Getty
Sorry, sorry, Ms. Terry. You've got a lovely relationship. Buck is. Buck is now going to be certainly for sale. You better, you better flip to War Eagle now on the Alabama.
Buck Sexton
Maybe I'm a secret War Eagle agent, you know, just trying to stir up trouble. No, just think of my man Bill Belichick. Like how's he doing with his UNC team?
Joe Getty
Well, he went on with Michael Strahan today to talk about the girlfriend you mentioned. Alabama, Auburn. You know, my neighbors have twins and I wanted to take a picture of this, but I didn't want to take a picture of it without them knowing. So this is real. Unlike the Seashells, the twins are going to different schools, Alabama and Auburn. And right now they have the Alabama Auburn flags on their, on their house to celebrate their kids are graduating from high school right now. It's high school graduation season in the South. And I walked past, couldn't help but smile. Thanksgiving in that family for all time. When you have twins that are going to Alabama and Auburn is going to be one heck of a ride because it's always Iron Bull Thanksgiving weekend. So congrats to them. But twins going one to Alabama, one to Auburn and the flags are both up on the front of the house. And I believe them went to lsu, which I don't even know how that happened. So anyway, there's a little bit of sec.
Buck Sexton
You know, when you go to a, when you go to, like a foreign country for the most part, with the exception of France, any effort you make to speak the language, they tend to, you know, react. They're like, oh, thank you for trying. Right? Like, you know, if you know a few words and whatever. That's how it is. Clay. When I see fans of this show who are also big SEC fans, they're like, hey, Buck, like, you know, roll Tide, buddy. Like, you're learning some things. You know, they're very encouraging of my knowledge increase over time on this. So I appreciate it.
Joe Getty
I will tell. And this is, this is very much true. College football fans are the best people in America. They really are just so welcoming. They want you to come to their school, they want you to look at their team. They want you to experience the fun. You were right. That's one of your student analyses points. I definitely trust people who like college.
Buck Sexton
Football more than just normal people. It's true.
Joe Getty
If you're a college football fan, I just don't think you can be actually a bad person. I think I could sit down and talk with you for two or three minutes and like, we'll be like, we've known each other forever. I really do feel that way and I think there's a lot of college football fans that would agree with me.

Welcome back in Clay. Travis Buck Sexton Show. Lots of reaction rolling in. I am drinking right now. Crockett coffee, Buck. I'm gonna need it this weekend. I'm traveling with it. I'm going to be down. This is my first trip to the renamed Gulf of America and so I cannot wait to gaze upon the Gulf of America down on the Florida Gulf Coast. But we're going to have a lot of fun. I also promise that I will be zealously checking the sand to see if there are any political messages that are being placed in the sand that I need to take a picture of and share on Instagram, so keep your heads on a swivel. I understand, by the way, that some of you have not signed up for crockettcoffee.com and I have no idea what you're doing with your lives.
Buck Sexton
I agree.
Joe Getty
Make the smart decision. Go to crockettcoffee.com yesterday. By the way, my fourth grader dressed up as Davy Crockett for the wax museum at his fourth grade, which was very, very fun.
Buck Sexton
Can we throw some photos up on the Clay and Buck website? Like this would do very well, Clay.
Joe Getty
Yes, I will. I will share that with producer Ali. I think I posted it in my Instagram story. A picture of him. But by the way, I'm told that KK does not buy into the legend of Sherlock. Clay, what did KK have to say?

Hey, Clay, I know you're fancying yourself as a Sherlock Holmes character, but I'm almost getting more of an Inspector Clouseau from Pink Panther vibe. But you know what? Nonetheless, I applaud. I applaud your efforts and dedication to this.

Podcast Summary: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
Episode: Hour 2 - Former FBI Special Agent, Nicole Parker
Release Date: May 16, 2025
In the second hour of "The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show," hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton welcome Nicole Parker, a former FBI Special Agent and current Fox contributor. Nicole brings firsthand insights from her tenure at the FBI, particularly her experiences during the tumultuous period under former Director James Comey.
Nicole opens the discussion by recounting her disillusionment with the FBI starting on July 5th, 2016, when James Comey publicly stated, “no reasonable prosecutor would charge Hillary Clinton for her mishandling of classified information on her personal server” (01:44). She describes Comey's tenure as catastrophic for the bureau:
“He, I think, single-handedly destroyed the FBI. And I think that many of my FBI colleagues would certainly agree with that. The FBI has never recovered since his destruction.”
— Nicole Parker [01:44]
Nicole criticizes Comey’s leadership, labeling him a "total narcissist" and asserting that his actions led to deep-seated corruption within the FBI.
The conversation delves into Operation Crossfire Hurricane, which Nicole suggests was mishandled under Comey’s direction. She emphasizes that Comey’s interactions with then-President Donald Trump and his subsequent firing in May 2017 left lasting damage:
“He supports that Trump is a danger to our country. The chance of this being a coincidence is absolutely zero.”
— Nicole Parker [04:42]
Nicole argues that Comey's actions have eroded trust within the FBI and that the agency continues to grapple with the fallout from his leadership.
A significant portion of the discussion centers around a peculiar incident involving James Comey posting a photo of seashells that purportedly spelled out "86 47." Joe Getty presents his analysis, questioning Comey’s intentions and credibility. Nicole is critical of Comey’s explanation, dismissing his claim of ignorance regarding the meaning of "86" (which, in certain contexts, implies violence):
“Turning a blind eye is not, that's just not a great defense. And the problem that I have is that he's gotten away with these types of things for so long.”
— Nicole Parker [04:42]
Nicole suggests that Comey, leveraging his background in violent crime investigations, should have been aware of the implications of the numbers. She predicts thorough investigations by the Secret Service and possible prosecutions:
“I think he's definitely in some hot water right now and I think it's catching up to him.”
— Nicole Parker [04:42]
Shifting focus, Nicole discusses the ongoing efforts to reform the FBI under the leadership of Director Cash Patel. She outlines the distinction between the “good” FBI agents and the corrupt elements she refers to as “FBI two”:
“There are these ongoing threats and poll workers in the election, but yet you choose to post this photo... he didn't know that. You know, 86 implied violence.”
— Nicole Parker [05:24]
Nicole commends Director Patel’s systematic approach to cleansing the bureau, emphasizing the removal and reassignment of corrupt agents and the importance of rebuilding morale among honest officers.
Nicole elaborates on the long-term challenges facing the FBI, noting that corruption has been a persistent issue since at least 2016. She expresses optimism about the current administration’s ability to address and eradicate deep-state malfeasance:
“With Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, I mean, this is a solid team of individuals and they will make the FBI great again. I truly believe that.”
— Nicole Parker [09:49]
She highlights ongoing investigations and the importance of maintaining integrity within the bureau to restore public trust.
As the discussion wraps up, Nicole reaffirms her commitment to transparency and accountability within law enforcement agencies. She hints at the possibility of writing a book detailing her experiences and the reasons behind her departure from the FBI, aiming to shed more light on the internal struggles and corruption she witnessed.
Nicole Parker on Comey’s Impact:
“He, I think, single-handedly destroyed the FBI. And I think that many of my FBI colleagues would certainly agree with that.”
(01:44)
Nicole on Comey’s Responsibility:
“Turning a blind eye is not, that's just not a great defense.”
(04:42)
Nicole on FBI Reforms:
“Director Patel has a lot of work cut out for him.”
(09:49)
This episode provides an in-depth look into the internal challenges within the FBI, the controversial legacy of James Comey, and the ongoing efforts to reform the bureau under new leadership. Nicole Parker’s expert insights offer listeners a critical perspective on law enforcement dynamics and political influences shaping national security.
For those interested in understanding the complexities of federal law enforcement and the impact of leadership on institutional integrity, this episode is a must-listen.
