It appears the full message is:
KILL BILL TIME 12 AUTH TP
Although classified, the Foxtrot message was widely known as being part of the Strategic Air Command’s (SAC) positive control program for sending the Go-No Go message throughout their system. While its purpose has changed over the intervening years you can still here the “Skyking, Skyking” transmissions on specified HF frequencies (see below) of the USAF’s HF-GCS (High Frequency – Global Communication System).

You’re not going to figure anything out from listening to Skyking EAM messages. They’re encoded using a one time pad. Absolutely impossible to crack if you don’t have the key.
In the U.S. military's strategic nuclear weapon nuclear command and control (NC2) system, an Emergency Action Message (EAM) is a preformatted message that directs nuclear-capable forces[1] to execute specific Major Attack Options (MAOs) or Limited Attack Options (LAOs) in a nuclear war. I
The only other time that a station would transmit the Foxtrot message was when requested for “traffic” by a military aircraft. After receiving a request for traffic the protocol was to say nothing but prepare the proper authentication and transmit the Foxtrot message. Here is a typical request.
Military B-52: “Staghound Radio, this is Boxer 24 on 236.6. Do you copy?”
Fox Main: “Boxer 24, Staghound Radio. Copy you five by five. Over.”
Military B-52: “Staghound, Boxer 24. Do you have any traffic for me? Over.”
Fox Main: At this point the console operator does not reply but looks up the proper authentication code for the current time and transmits the Foxtrot message in the format noted above.

Kathy Griffin proving that she cares more about her political ideals than the voting process. And casually disrespecting Green party voters at the same time.
( that's the most polite way I can describe this type of behavior )
