An early morning segment on “Fox & Friends” left Brian Kilmeade red-faced and his co-hosts in giggles.
While blasting former FBI Director James Comey, Kilmeade accidentally blurted out the number 69 while he was trying to say “86,” sparking laughter on the set and from co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones.
The initial direction of the segment had Kilmeade ripping into Comey over a cringey video he released, praising Taylor Swift and declaring himself a “Swiftie” while bashing President Donald Trump.

“Meanwhile, if you talk about a guy that’s absolutely unhinged and lost his mind. He is 6-foot-7. He is James Comey. This guy, who is walking on the beach and sees a mysterious configuration of rocks — maybe it’s a natural phenomenon — that says 69,” Kilmeade said.
Earhardt quickly interjected to say “86-47,” reminding Kilmeade of Comey’s infamous post of seashells that seemed to spell a message for the 47th president of the United States.
Kilmeade continued his attack but stopped to note, “86, rather. 86-47.”
“He sees these numbers. 69?” he stopped midway to react to his flub. “What was I thinking? 86-47, causing a huge uproar, and then he says for inspiration, even though multiple investigations have him going back to 2016 in cahoots with Hillary Clinton and company to cut the knees out of the first Trump administration, he has not stopped posting.”
“Well, he’s a Swiftie,” Jones noted.
“He is a Swiftie. He posted this anti-Trump video, confessing to being a Swiftie, channels Taylor Swift, calls her Tay-Tay at one point,” Earhardt said, referring to Comey’s fawning video.
OMG. This might be the creepiest video in the history of social media!
Listen to James Comey talking about his weird obsession with Taylor Swift followed by an even weirder discussion of his hatred for MAGA.This is what a completely broken man looks and sounds like! pic.twitter.com/Be8Sr86gxI

“What guy does that?” Jones wondered.
“Nobody,” Kilmeade replied.
