Speaker 1 (00:00):
Two fbis two different kinds. The first one comprised of
those who joined the FBI with pure motives to serve Americans.
The second is the antithesis, comprised of employees who abused
their law enforcement power to push radical and social agendas.
That's the claim made by a former FBI special agent
who wrote a book called The two fbis the bravery
and betrayal I saw in my time at the bureau.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Nicole Parker joining us this morning, nicolevid morning.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yes, ma'am, I appreciate you coming on. I appreciate you
writing the book too, and really kind of shining a
light on this. You know, it's funny because we have
an FBI story in the news this morning. Actually was
kind of from late last week when Cash Petel, the
director and deputy Director Bongino said it's over. The crook's investigation,
the assassination attempt on President Trump that took the life
of a firefighter, injured two others as well as wounding
(00:51):
President Trump slightly.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
They said it's over. It was he acted alone and
that's it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
A lot of people still are not satisfied with that
so can you give us your impress of that before
we talk about the two different fbis.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I can understand the skepticism of Americans based on what
they experienced for the last four years and frankly ten
years under past administrations, and how the FBI lacked transparency.
They weren't forthright, they didn't provide information to the American people.
They were going after political opponents. So understandably I can
see why they're like, you know, I don't know that
(01:26):
I trust that the findings of that investigation. What I
can tell you is Cashpitel, Hamdbody President Trump. They're operating
with a completely different way, full transparency, full accountability. And
if Cashpitel has gone through the case file, talked to
the investigators and says this is what it is, I
am confident that that is what it is. A lot
(01:48):
of times individuals on the outside perceive things that are
very different. It is true that in the FBI we
are not allowed to discuss a lot of things because
it can compromise investigations. This instance is very different, though,
because Thomas Crooks was dead, he was killed, he was
not going to trial. It was not going to compromise
an investigation. But I do think that if President Trump
is now satisfied with the findings and what he's been told,
(02:10):
then I am going to be satisfied with the findings
as well.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, and I suppose I would agree with that, but
I do there are just parts of me that say,
why was he cremated?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
After three days?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
They gave the body to, you know, to the family,
and the family said, we don't have any form anymore,
and they did that. The entire home was scrubbed, it seemed,
professionally before investigators even got there. So there are a
lot of questions, and the whole thing about how do
he get on a roof while people are screaming, Hey,
there's a guy on the roof and nobody No drones,
no coverage, a lot of things.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I agree. I agree with you one percent, but I
can tell you with the way that the government was functioning,
not just at the FBI, but it's a secret Service,
and this is something I talk about in my book,
they were so obsessed with the wrong priorities such as DEI.
Secret service had this huge initiative to have thirty percent
females by twenty thirty. When that's your your focus, you're
(02:58):
taking your eye off the ball and what you're really
supposed to be doing, like doing protective detail at the
Butler event, right. So to me, it's not exactly shocking
because I saw this sort of thing happen all the time,
not just at the FBI, but at other federal agencies.
When you're not focused on your law enforcement responsibilities and
you turn into a social justice warrior club, people get hurt,
(03:19):
people get killed. It's not okay, and those days are over.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well said.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
We're talking with Nicole Parker, whose book The Two Fbis
is available now. The betrayal, bravery and betrayal I saw
in my time at the bureau. Let's talk about FBI too.
I think this was a little bit on display last
week in a different story when we found out that
Arctic frost also ensnared the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
Jim Jordan. That was something that happened last week as well.
(03:44):
And it seemed like the weaponization of the FBI and
the weaponization of the Department of Justice as a whole
was literally an overdrive for the entire four years of
the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Can you speak to that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
You're absolutely correct, and I saw it firsthand. I witnessed
it first hand. By what you're seeing now come out
the revelations of arctic frost, it doesn't shock me at all,
not a bit, because that is what they did, especially
under the Biden FBI, the Biden administration, under Merrick Garland
and Christopher Ray, their number one focus was going after
Trump supporters. January sixth was their number one priority. I'd
(04:16):
talk about it in the book in great detail. Merrick
Garland had no shame in saying, this is the number
one priority of DJ ever, the largest investigation ever in
DJ history. Okay, I witnessed a nine to eleven tarists attacks.
For you to tell me that January sixth is the
largest investigation is highly insulting to me. We lost almost
three thousand Americans on that tragic day. So aside from that,
(04:37):
they didn't just go after Trump supporters. They went after
Trump himself and anyone that was in that circle. And
that was their top That's what they did. And so
when I'm hearing, oh, you know, they were looking at
a Jim Jordan, and they were following senators and looking
at their toll records. Of course, they were again not
shocking to me, and reading the book I mean, at
the end of the book, it's all FBI two and
(04:58):
that's what drove me out of their It was one
thing after another after another. I was in FBI Miami
when the rate at mar A Lago occurred. I was
not there president at the raid. They kept it very
tight lips for those that were participant, and they knew
who would and would not go along with it. I'll
tell you right now, they were never going to ask
Nicole Parker to do anything of that sort, because I
would absolutely blow the cover off of it because I'm
(05:20):
not going to tolerate that. But they asked the agent
who they knew were on board. Yeah, who knew who
they knew were on board, who would willingly go along
or those who felt like they had to do it
to keep their pensions. That's not who I am, Nicole.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I'm glad to know that you are blowing the lid
off of it now through this book. It is extraordinarily
important that the American people know this and what they
can trust in what they cannot trust. The two fbis
by Nicole Parker. Again the bravery and betrayal I saw
my time at the Bureau. I wish I had more time,
right now, in fact. But Nicole, thank you so much
for the information.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Thank you so much. And I have to tell you
I'm a native of Houston. So go Houston. I love y'all.
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And God, bless God, bless you too. Thank you so
much
