For the longest time people have believed that it\u2019s really toothless, that it\u2019s ceremonial. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/05\/31\/trump-expected-to-pull-out-of-paris-climate-deal-but-its-not-done-yet\/\">The Paris agreement\u2019s an offshoot of the United Nations<\/a> international planetary communal BS climate change organization, whatever they call it. There are 197 potential signatories, nations, to this. And we\u2019ve been told that it\u2019s really just a handshake, that there\u2019s no mandate. There\u2019s nothing binding. It actually is more just a statement of attitude, more like a promise to commit to caring about the effects of man-made climate change and a promise to work with other community nations in dealing with it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s far, far from that. It is indeed hideous, and it is deceptive, and those practicing the deception &#8212; weaving this intricate web of deceit &#8212; are also Americans, as well as others from around the world who are united in their belief that the United States represents the singular target that must be cut down to size in order to further the concept of global community. The Paris climate agreement&#8230; I\u2019m being assisted here by a piece written by Andrew McCarthy at PJMedia.com. His column is entitled, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/andrewmccarthy\/2017\/05\/31\/dont-stop-with-paris\/\">Don\u2019t Stop with Paris.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-235574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/trumpOvalOffice650-020217-Trump-Calls.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/trumpOvalOffice650-020217-Trump-Calls.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/trumpOvalOffice650-020217-Trump-Calls-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>Let me give you some pull quotes here. The column starts thus: &#8220;It is welcome news that President Trump will pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement.&#8221; I don\u2019t think that\u2019s happened yet, which is why I\u2019m so focused on this today. He hasn\u2019t done it. All we\u2019ve had is leaks from the White House saying that he\u2019s going to, that the decision\u2019s gonna be announced soon. But there was another obvious leak from the White House in the last couple hours, \u2019cause Fox has been running a graphic saying the president has not reached a decision on this yet.<\/p>\n<p>We know that there are people in his administration, on his staff, in the White House who are in favor of this tomfoolery and are trying to influence him that he\u2019s wrong in his instinctive feelings about climate change and ought to sign on to this. And there are others who are trying to get him to remain true to his statements, his instincts, and his promises during the campaign. So Andy begins, &#8220;It is welcome news that President Trump will pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The [agreement] promises to damage the economy while surrendering American sovereignty over climate policy to yet another international, largely anti-American enterprise.&#8221; That is inarguable, my friends. There\u2019s no debate about this. American sovereignty will be surrendered, and we will cease being a separate and distinct nation. We will cease to have our superpower status, and our climate policy &#8212; which incorporates health and economic policy &#8212; will be mandated by the terms of this agreement, if we sign it.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s literally no common-sense reason to sign it. There\u2019s no scientific reason to sign it for sure. There is no good-vibe reason to sign this. There isn\u2019t a good reason at all to sign this. There is not one even tiny upside to signing this, Mr. President. Some pull quotes: &#8220;The Paris climate agreement is a treaty. We are not talking here about a bob-and-weave farce like the Iran nuclear deal. That arrangement, the &#8216;Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,\u2019 was shrewdly packaged as an &#8216;unsigned understanding\u2019 &#8212; concurrently spun, depending on its apologists\u2019 need of the moment, as a non-treaty&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, the reason that they\u2019re telling us that the Paris Accord is a nontreaty is because that evades the requirements of the Constitution to ratify it. The Iran deal has never been ratified. The Senate wouldn\u2019t do it. The Iran deal&#8230; That\u2019s why it\u2019s not a treaty. This is not a treaty. A treaty must be ratified by the Senate. This treaty would never&#8230; Obama wouldn\u2019t even present the Paris Accord to the Senate because there is not a senate that would sign on to this. Even when the Democrats ran the Senate, they would not sign on to this.<\/p>\n<p>It is that horrible. Certainly, this Senate would not sign on to it. It\u2019s two-thirds, by the way, folks, of the Senate that must sign to ratify. So they present this as &#8220;a binding international commitment&#8221; in order to timid the Trump administration into staying in it. Hey, it\u2019s not a treaty! You don\u2019t have to get the Senate involved. You don\u2019t have to go up to Capitol Hill to argue to those knuckleheads. It\u2019s not a treaty; we don\u2019t need to go the constitutional route. You can sign it, Mr. President, and commit us to nothing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under Article 18 of the treaty on treaties&#8230;&#8221; Did you know such a thing existed? I didn\u2019t, either. There is a treaty that we signed on treaties. It would be like a driving license manual on driving licenses. There\u2019s a treaty on treaties. &#8220;Under Article 18 of the treaty on treaties, once a nation signs a treaty &#8212; or merely does something that could be interpreted as &#8216;express[ing] its consent to be bound by the treaty\u2019 &#8212; that nation is &#8216;obliged to refrain from acts which would defeat the object and purpose of the treaty.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-235587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Trreaty-Tear-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Trreaty-Tear-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Trreaty-Tear-1-300x104.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>Let me translate: &#8220;Under Article 18 of the treaty on treaties, once a nation &#8230; does something that could be interpreted as &#8216;express[ing] its consent to be bound by the treaty,'&#8221; that is essentially signing and ratifying a treaty. Real-world example: The Paris climate accords are being talked about and Trump says, &#8220;You know, I can see where this thing might have some value. We, the United States, are not willing to sign this, but we\u2019re willing to work with nations on it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That would be the same&#8230; That\u2019s the equivalent of signing the treaty. All you have to do is express your agreement to be bound by it. A handshake. It\u2019s a trick! It\u2019s a trick in order to get a nation to commit to a treaty without having to go to the Senate to get two-thirds of them to vote for it. Our own treaty on treaties binds us to a treaty when all we\u2019ve done is said we support the elements. It takes the Constitution totally out of the mix!<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the Constitution notwithstanding, once an administration signs or otherwise signals its agreement to the terms of any international agreement, the United States must consider itself duly bound. All it has to do is sign something that\u2019s not a treaty or signal in diplomatic channels that we assent to the terms, that becomes the equivalent of a treaty having been signed, even though the Senate has not approved it, even though it has not been ratified.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the trick. And that is what\u2019s happening here with the Paris Accord. The reason why this is important beyond the obvious, if a subsequent president wants to get the United States out from under the Paris Accord, it\u2019s not enough to refrain from submitting the treaty to the Senate. The later president must take an affirmative action that withdraws the prior president\u2019s assent. That is why Trump can\u2019t just ignore the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>He needs to openly and notoriously pull out of it He cannot say he likes it. He cannot say he understands it. He cannot say that he agrees with it in principle but isn\u2019t gonna sign it. He can\u2019t say any of that. If he commits to it just verbally by signaling that he understands, that he\u2019s willing to pledge the United States assistance, even though he says he\u2019s not gonna sign it, he doesn\u2019t have to because of the treaty on treaties.<\/p>\n<p>And the reason it\u2019s important that it\u2019s a treaty is that it just can\u2019t be undone with an executive order by a new president. Once it is a treaty, then there is a convoluted process to withdraw from a treaty that does involve going to the Senate and getting two-thirds of a vote and dealing with the international body with whom the treaty is made. It is a mess. It\u2019s also designed as such so as to make it much more difficult to get out of this than it ever was to get into it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-232239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/RushMaking650-The-Complex.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/RushMaking650-The-Complex.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/RushMaking650-The-Complex-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>So in summary, the Paris Accord is not a treaty, but yet it could end up being enforced as one because of our own law called the treaty on treaties, which simply says that if we announce support in principle, that if we sign an ancillary document promising to do what we can, that is the same thing as the Senate ratifying it with two-thirds of the Senate voting. It is a trick by globalists to get the United States to sign a treaty &#8212; by the way &#8212; well, I say trick. The people that voted for this understood exactly what they were doing. Nobody was tricked here except the American people.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t mean to imply that members of Congress or the Senate were tricked. They knew exactly what they were doing. This is like hiring a blue ribbon commission to close military bases so they get the blame for it rather than you in the House of Representatives or Senate actually being on a committee and announcing the base closures. &#8220;I didn\u2019t close the base, Mabel, I didn\u2019t do it. I know your son, your family have been working there 20 years and they lost their job, but the blue ribbon panel did it. I did everything I could.&#8221; Same thing here. &#8220;I didn\u2019t sign that treaty. Don\u2019t blame me.&#8221; That got done by hook and crook. It\u2019s nothing more than a mechanism to avoid the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>It is a mechanism to commit the United States to things that are drastically, horribly detrimental to us without going through the constitutional process that ratifies such treaties. It substitutes verbal consent of agreement in principle, say, as the equivalent of a signature and two-thirds of the Senate voting to affirm. The American people are being told, &#8220;It\u2019s toothless.&#8221; In fact, here\u2019s the message that\u2019s being used by the media to try to convince Trump to sign this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, there\u2019s no real commitment here. This thing is just a piece of paper. There\u2019s no force of law. It has no binding agreement. In fact, Trump could probably &#8211;&#8221; this is the kicker. They\u2019re trying to say Trump could actually gain some ground with people that don\u2019t support him by signing on to this \u2019cause it isn\u2019t gonna hurt him. &#8220;It\u2019s not gonna bother his own fans because his voters are gonna understand it\u2019s a nothing burger. So Trump can really score some points with people that oppose him by signing on to this thing and not harm and not break a promise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And that is not true. If he signs on to this, it is a huge promise broken. It is a huge violation of trust. It may be something insurmountable for the president and his base to sign on to this. It is not harmless. If you want to get the details of what happens in this thing, we\u2019ll link to it at RushLimbaugh.com. It\u2019s kind of heavy reading and I\u2019ll summarize it here if I have time in the remaining moments of the program, but it\u2019s a direct assault on the U.S. economy disguised as something else.<\/p>\n<p>It penalizes all these things I talked about in the last half hour, penalizes economic growth, targets improved standards of living as evidence of climate change, evidence of planetary destruction. It\u2019s hideous. The president has no business even thinking about signing this. And anybody in his administration urging him to sign this has a death wish for him. Promise you that.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hey, folks, I committed a small faux error in my most recent monologue about the Paris agreement. The issue is not whether President Trump signs it. That was the wrong approach. Obama already has signed it. The task before President Trump is to literally pull us out of it. Obama has already signed the Paris Accord. The Senate would not ratify it. Which is why the treaty on treaties treats it as a treaty, because the president already signed it. The treaty on treaties is the equivalent of Senate ratification. Obama\u2019s signature is what triggers the treaty on treaties obligation to follow it, even though it hasn\u2019t been ratified.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-230219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushGLobalWarming3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushGLobalWarming3.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushGLobalWarming3-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>So the question is whether Trump will pull us out of it. He must make the affirmative step of literally pulling us out of it. If he does nothing, we are still bound not to do anything to undermine it. If he doesn\u2019t do anything, if Trump comes out and says he\u2019s committing to it, Obama\u2019s already done that for us. Obama\u2019s already committed the United States to this.<\/p>\n<p>Trump must pull us out of it. If he doesn\u2019t, if Trump says, &#8220;I\u2019m not gonna sign it,&#8221; then he\u2019s fooling us because it\u2019s already signed, it\u2019s already in place. And if Trump does nothing we are still bound not to undermine it as a nation. We must make every effort to accede to it. Trump needs to formally announce that he is withdrawing Obama\u2019s consent.<\/p>\n<p>Now, to withdraw, the president just needs to take an affirmative, &#8220;We withdraw Obama\u2019s signature.&#8221; He doesn\u2019t have to go to the Senate because we didn\u2019t go to the Senate to have it ratified. If the Senate had ratified it, then we would have had to go unratify it, so to speak. Even with a treaty that is ratified after Senate approval, the president can withdraw us without having to go back to the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Bush 43 did this unilaterally, withdrew us from the ABM treaty with Russia in 2002 on the ground that the party we made the treaty, the USSR, Soviet Union, no longer existed. The left blew up at that. But Trump has to pull us out. It takes an affirmative, you might want to look at it as a negative &#8212; it is an affirmative action. He must withdraw, take us out, deny, and cancel Obama\u2019s signature on this thing.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, this treaty on treaties that you\u2019ve never heard of? Do you know that it hasn\u2019t even been ratified? There\u2019s so much unconstitutional or extraconstitutional stuff that has gone on over the years designed to weaken, to deteriorate, to extinguish the uniqueness, greatness the United States of America before all of these global organizations and bodies &#8212; led, of course, by United Nations. It\u2019s been a long-standing objective to chop the United States down to size, to eliminate the whole concept of American exceptionalism, America as a superpower. By law.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-227326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RushGlobalWarming585_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RushGlobalWarming585_2.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RushGlobalWarming585_2-300x103.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>They can\u2019t do it economically. Nobody can outcompete us, outproduce us. But by law they can penalize us and restrict us, and the treaty on treaties &#8212; which effectively allows treaties to be ratified without the Senate, meaning it\u2019s extra- or unconstitutional? Not even that treaty on treaties has been ratified! So here\u2019s the bottom line with all of this: The Paris climate agreement is a treaty because of the way the treaty on treaties treats these kinds of agreements. Obama signed it; that makes it a treaty, even though the Senate never ratified it.<\/p>\n<p>Once a presidential administration signs or otherwise signals assent to the terms of the agreement, like this Paris thing, the U.S. is bound. Even though the Senate has not approved it, even though it\u2019s not been ratified. If the subsequent president, like Trump, wants to get the U.S. out from under this, it\u2019s not enough merely to refrain from submitting the treaty to the Senate. In other words, Trump just can\u2019t send it up to the Senate and have them de-ratify it since they haven\u2019t been ratified it in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The president must take an affirmative action that withdraws the prior president\u2019s assent via signature, in this case Obama. Trump cannot just ignore it. It\u2019s not a case of where, &#8220;Well, if we don\u2019t do anything, we\u2019re not committed to it.&#8221; We\u2019re already committed to this. Which is why they\u2019re trying to calm everybody\u2019s fears by telling them, &#8220;It\u2019s not a treaty. It has no teeth. There\u2019s nothing binding! It\u2019s just a statement of goodwill and good intentions by member nations.&#8221; It\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>It is a hard-and-fast agreement that targets the United States as the primary culprit and requires the United States to carry the primary burden in fixing what isn\u2019t broken, in stopping what isn\u2019t happening: Man-made climate change. So Donald Trump must affirmatively announce we are withdrawing. He can\u2019t say, &#8220;We\u2019re not signing it.&#8221; If he says, &#8220;I\u2019ve chosen not to sign it,&#8221; he\u2019s fooling us. It\u2019s already signed. He has to withdraw from it &#8212; and I\u2019m here to tell you: The pressure on him inside his own White House must be intense.<\/p>\n<p>You know the names of the people that are reported to be the globalists, the Gary Cohn guy and&#8230; Why do I have trouble remembering this woman\u2019s name? Dina Powell. There\u2019s some&#8230; I guess&#8230; See, I think it\u2019s Nina something or other. Dina Powell and maybe Jared Kushner might form the triumvirate that wants this to remain in force. There\u2019s a lot of money to be made on this, by the way. Look how much money Algore\u2019s made. Look how much Tom Steyer\u2019s made. Look how much these leftist globalists make. Look how wealthy they are.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-231071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushGlobalWarmingAlGorMoviePIX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushGlobalWarmingAlGorMoviePIX.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushGlobalWarmingAlGorMoviePIX-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>In addition to the ideological component here, folks, there are trillions of dollars. They talk about the military-industrial complex? The climate complex dwarfs it. It is incredible the amount of money here. Algore is just one example of how it can be made, trading carbon credits, pollution credits. Those are just two of a myriad number of&#8230; It means it\u2019s also a cash grab. As I said the other day: Washington, D.C. is the wealthiest city in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, $3.5 trillion pours in there, and it\u2019s the most powerful city in the world, and everybody in the world is trying to influence what happens there, and everybody in the world is trying to get as much money out of that town every year as they can. And the people that have the least access to it are the citizens of this country, because they\u2019re the ones paying for it! They\u2019re the ones who are putting the $3.5 trillion in that pot every year!<\/p>\n<p>And everybody else in the world\u2019s trying to get their grubby hands on it, in addition to American leftists and liberals who\u2019d rather try to siphon a portion of it rather than work. (They probably consider it work.) It\u2019s hideous. Trump must actively take us out. The pressure on him has got to be intense. But to me, this is a no-brainer. Mr. President, if you don\u2019t take us out of this, there is no way you can make America great again. America cannot be great in the ways you define it and the ways you have targeted for rebirth and remaking.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t do it if we\u2019re signatories to this thing, because we become the targets. We become the blame. We become the source of the problem. We must bear the burden, financial, economic, of supposedly addressing this nonexistent issue: Man-made planetary destruction. Don\u2019t forget, it\u2019s not even man-made climate change. What they\u2019re trying to tell everybody is we\u2019re destroying the planet, folks, and they sadly convinced a whole bunch of young people it\u2019s actually in progress and happening. Just take us out! If you want to make America great again, you can\u2019t do it with the United States maintaining its current position in the Paris Accord.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You have all heard the name Elon Musk. You know who Elon Musk is? Elon Musk is the founder of Tesla. He\u2019s one of most subsidized Americans out there. Well, I mean, if you look at subsidizes as welfare. I mean, if he hadn\u2019t gotten the subsidies, there wouldn\u2019t be any Tesla. Let\u2019s just put it that way. What is it, how many billions in subsidies has Tesla received? It\u2019s significant.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-235599 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/492682184-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/492682184-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/492682184.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Anyway, he\u2019s on one of Trump\u2019s scientific or technological advisory committees. Well, Elon Musk, he\u2019s been under pressure from Silicon Valley to get out of that because they hate Trump, and they think Musk is a traitor. They can\u2019t understand why Musk ever signed on to Trump\u2019s committees, so they\u2019ve been razzing him ever since it happened. I guess they finally got to him \u2019cause Elon Musk has tweeted that he will leave the Donald Trump advisory committees on technology and whatever if Trump withdraws from the Paris Climate Accord or treaty.<\/p>\n<p>I say, &#8220;See ya in the rearview mirror, Elon.&#8221; So we\u2019ll see. Trump is gonna be under intense pressure on this \u2019cause this is ball game for the left. This is salvation city. Not to mention the whole Goldman Sachs crowd, I mean, the money to be made here. These people don\u2019t care about the things you and I do when it comes to the state of the nation, the state of freedom and liberty. Those are so old-fashioned and quaint, so beneath us. There\u2019s money to be made here. There\u2019s power to be achieved. There\u2019s a global infrastructure to build and run. Good Lord, you\u2019re worried about freedom? Get with it, man, is what they would say to me.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the intense pressure Trump\u2019s gonna be under.
