GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST):  I agree. I think -- what Harold is speaking about has been the problem for our culture for a long time, which is how the spiritual realm is being exploited, gamed, by people who use it to block themselves from criticism. So, she uses her spiritual authority to block criticism because she's a bishop. Don't argue with the bishop, she's a bishop. And oh -- comes from a long history this -- she's not defending sinners or the poor. She's not like Jesus. She's talking about behaviors. 

And she's cloaking these behaviors under the false guise of compassion. I mean, she's lecturing a guy who got shot about being in danger. Who is she implying that is putting these people in danger? Are there guys in MAGA hats that are mutilating healthy children, removing their genitals? No, that's her team. That's the people she's defending. Does she have any evidence that children are in danger by this new administration, the administration that is trying to rescue missing kids through this border fiasco. You know, she may have a congregation, but she has no class. She saw an opportunity to feed her ego. She knew this was going to happen, and she rushed to the trough. 

On the bright side I have to say she didn't call him Hitler, which is good. But who knew Satan wore granny glasses and stole his haircut from John Denver? Just because you are spiritual, Harold -- and you are -- doesn't make you smart, holy, or even good. We somehow ascribe those qualities like that and imposters are here to exploit it. You know, Satan isn't going to show up in red tights holding a pitchfork. It's going to show up like that. She's an imposter, she exploits compassion for terrible, terrible beliefs. 

There is no compassion in saying that trans kids are in danger. They're in danger by the trans ideology. And when you're talking about immigrants being in danger, is she not aware that illegal immigrants overwhelmingly favor a strong border? Because they like rules, they like the fact that you cannot cheat, you have to stand in line? I love also how she appreciates the immigrants for all the dishes they wash. She's the hood ornament for imposter -- imposter morality -- and she throws her weight, the church, to defend horrible things. So there you go, Harold.

HAROLD FORD JR (CO-HOST): Can I just say, Reverend Graham I thought gave one of the great invocations at President Trump's inaugural. He started off by saying "Mr. President, the last four years there are times I'm sure you thought it was pretty good dark, but look what God has done, we praise him and give him glory." Some people interpret that to mean that he thought Jesus wanted President Trump to -- I just thought it was him -- I just think it is a -- I just think -- you don't fight with pastors. That's my only thing. 

GUTFELD: That's not a pastor. That is Satan, Harold! It's Satan!
