I'd say he was pretty cavalier about the it, emphasis mine:
In a June 8, 2024, episode of his podcast (at around the 1:00:00 mark), Kirk reacted to Accurso posting a video in which she cited Bible scripture to explain why she had wished a "Happy Pride" that month to people in the LGBTQ+ community.www.factcheck.org
"My faith is really important to me, and it's also one reason why I love every neighbor," she said in her video. "In Matthew 22, a religious teacher asked Jesus, what's the most important commandment? And Jesus says, to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself.'" "It doesn't say love every neighbor except," she went on to say.
In his reply, Kirk said Accurso left out something else the Bible says. "She's not totally wrong," Kirk said. "The first part is Deuteronomy 6:3"5. The second part is Leviticus 19. So you love God, so you must love his law. How do you love somebody? You love them by telling them the truth, not by confirming or affirming their sin."
He continued: "And it says, by the way, Ms. Rachel, might want to crack open that Bible of yours, in a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture is in Leviticus 18, is that thou shall lay with another man shall be stoned to death. Just saying. So, Ms. Rachel, you quote Leviticus 19, love your neighbor as yourself. The chapter before affirms God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters."
He's just referencing what Emily said.
The guest Emily stated this earlier in the show.

Yeah, so? This is what he said on the topic:
KIRK: And I don't wanna get there yet, Emily. But, Emily, just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at -------- only gonna get worse if--unless Donald Trump wins. A new report from Fox News shows that across the border, 13,000 people convicted of murder, 15,000 people convicted of rape on the non-detained list--meaning they're currently roaming free around our country. So right now, roaming free on the interior of the United States are 13,000 convicted murderers, 15,000 convicted rapists. And they're just--they're having a field day, and they're coming for your daughter next.
