Comey's Suspicious Seashells by the Seashore

The show opens with a discussion about former FBI Director James Comey’s controversial Instagram post featuring seashells arranged to spell “8647,” which Clay and Buck interpret as a veiled threat against former President Donald Trump. They explore the symbolism behind the numbers—“86” being slang for elimination and “47” referencing Trump as the 47th president—and question Comey’s intent. The hosts criticize Comey’s history of political grandstanding and suggest he may face legal scrutiny for the post. They also highlight Comey’s previous social media activity, including a similar seashell post supporting Kamala Harris, reinforcing their belief that the former FBI director is engaging in politically charged messaging.

The conversation transitions to a major interview with Congressman Jim Jordan, who discusses newly uncovered emails suggesting that pharmaceutical companies may have delayed announcing the COVID-19 vaccine’s readiness in 2020 to avoid benefiting Trump’s reelection campaign. Jordan argues that this suppression of information could have influenced the outcome of the 2020 election, especially in key battleground states like Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona. He also outlines key elements of a new Republican-backed bill, including tax cuts, work requirements for welfare recipients, and funding to secure the southern border.

OH Rep. Jim Jordan

The conversation transitions to a major interview with Congressman Jim Jordan, who discusses newly uncovered emails suggesting that pharmaceutical companies may have delayed announcing the COVID-19 vaccine’s readiness in 2020 to avoid benefiting Trump’s reelection campaign. Jordan argues that this suppression of information could have influenced the outcome of the 2020 election, especially in key battleground states like Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona. He also outlines key elements of a new Republican-backed bill, including tax cuts, work requirements for welfare recipients, and funding to secure the southern border.

Clay and Buck further analyze the political implications of the Comey post, with Trump himself weighing in during a clip played on-air. Trump calls the post a clear call for assassination and criticizes Comey’s judgment. The hosts praise Trump’s measured response and emphasize the seriousness of the situation, questioning whether Comey will face consequences.

Fmr. FBI Agent, Nicole Parker

Former FBI Special Agent and Fox News contributor Nicole Parker offers insider analysis on the implications of Comey’s beach photo featuring the numbers “86 47” spelled out in seashells—a combination widely interpreted as a veiled threat against former President Donald Trump.

Nicole Parker provides a scathing critique of Comey’s tenure, labeling him a narcissist and the root cause of the FBI’s internal decline. She recounts her firsthand experience during his leadership and outlines how the Bureau’s credibility began to erode following Comey’s controversial 2016 announcement regarding Hillary Clinton’s email investigation. The discussion intensifies as Parker and the hosts dissect the potential legal ramifications of Comey’s post, including whether it could warrant a Secret Service investigation or even lead to criminal charges.

Clay Travis, channeling his inner “Sherlock Holmes,” lays out a detailed theory suggesting Comey orchestrated the seashell message himself. He speculates that Comey may have photos on his phone proving intent and possibly attempted to delete them, raising questions about obstruction and digital evidence. The hosts also explore the broader implications of political messaging, symbolism, and the weaponization of social media by public figures.

The conversation shifts to the current state of the FBI under new leadership. Parker discusses the efforts of Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino to root out corruption and restore integrity within the Bureau. She highlights the internal divide between “FBI One”—agents committed to justice—and “FBI Two”—those allegedly driven by political agendas. The show emphasizes the ongoing cleanup of executive management and problematic field offices, including the reassignment of controversial figures like Elvis Chan.

President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill 

Acritical analysis of the proposed “Big Beautiful Bill,” a major legislative package being debated in Congress. Speaker Mike Johnson touts the bill as a transformative piece of legislation that will cut taxes, secure the border, and reduce spending. However, Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson express deep skepticism, warning that the bill could add up to $5 trillion in new debt and lacks meaningful fiscal restraint. Buck calls for transparency and urges Republican leadership to clearly outline where the spending cuts are, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the national debt while the GOP holds power.
