GREG GUTFELD (HOST): We can rest easy, everyone. Now, the kinder, gentler Taliban is vowing to tackle climate change. A member of the group's Cultural Commission talking to Newsweek, "We believe the world is a unique opportunity of rapprochement and coming together to tackle the challenges not only facing us about the entire humanity. These challenges ranging from world security and climate change need the collective efforts" -- somebody went to college -- "of all and cannot be achieved if we exclude or ignore an entire people who have been devastated by imposed wars for the past four decades." Wow. Sounds like someone's aiming for a primetime gig on CNN. So, Dana, Greta Thunberg must be thrilled.
DANA PERINO (HOST): She might have written that.
GUTFELD: Yeah, I don't know. Taliban is going to focus on climate change.
PERINO: You want to be accepted by the world community.
GUTFELD: Yes.
PERINO: You don't want your funds to be cut off from the world. You want the World Bank to pay attention to you, you want some countries to lessen sanctions, there's a great way to their heart and they know exactly what it is, it is through climate change.
...
GUTFELD: As America -- as our government keeps pushing its way towards wokeism, there is basically no way to deal with something like Afghanistan, because we lose the options that being a woke country would not allow you to do. In a weird way, the Taliban is going to be China's problem and China's going to have no problem dealing with them.
