Fox News host Mark Levin explained what "America first" means to him, Sunday, by debunking the notion that our founders were "nationalists."
The "Life, Liberty & Levin" host said how the word "nationalist" cannot be found in our founding documents because the founders and framers "believed in Americanism," guided by "natural law and rights," not nationalism" or "populism."
"The Tenth Amendment rejects nationalism. It’s federalism. Talks about state sovereignty. Why do we have a Ninth Amendment? Have you read that one lately? It talks about individual liberty, it is in my view, a reflection of the Declaration. They put it right there in the Ninth Amendment. That is your protection. Nationalism strikes me as an all powerful, centralized federal government. Right? I am not a nationalist."
"There’s a fusion there. The one outright hates the country, the American Marxist, trying to destroy it from within. The other says ‘I love the country so much, we have to isolate it from everything and everything else.’ Really?" he explained.
Instead, Levin argued, "America first" means responding to global atrocities like Russia's war with Ukraine, to stop another world war from happening.
"America means embracing capitalism but not selling to the enemy or giving to the enemy weapons they will sure as hell use against us… And Americanism means to me when you see mass graves in Ukraine, now, 9,000, when you see people being slaughtered by a monster and a war machine that is imperialistic, that if they have their way … will light the fuse with its allies in communist China in terrorist Iran, in North Korea … really creating a true world war."
"America first doesn't mean putting your head in the sand and pretending otherwise. You want to protect your children from war? You stand up now," he urged.

A non-sequitur. I get it, you’re a troll.
It doesn’t mean you bankrupt our Country to support corrupt Countries. We people in flyover areas are hurting. Rich elites don’t care.
“And the fool doesn’t even get the smallest cut of the fungible TEN PERCENT”
Well, we don’t know that, any more than we know who on this website is on the payroll of someone or other - it’s naive to think otherwise.
you are spot on
I should’ve added the very first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, but I’m sure he’d rationalize that as well.
Globalism vs Nationalism is a DIFFERENT AXIS.
Levin does not understand that you can be a Constitutionalist and still be a Nationalist.
It was strong Nationalism that defeated WW2 Germany and Japan.
Also, there is ONLY ONE force that can defeat the Globalist Oligarchy and protect the Constitution now: NATIONALISM
Levin is too bubbled to understand what is at stake and HOW it must be fought in the end.
None of these people in the esoteric Right want to face the truth that the only way out of this without violence is to push for a peaceful divorce into probably three countries. Left coast, Right coast, plus Red Republic in the middle.
Levin does not want to REALLY fight this.
You don’t understand.
The struggle is between the Globalist Oligarchy and Nationalism (USA).
Trump is our nationalist leader at the moment vs. the Globalist Oligarchy.
No I don’t listen to the show because I don’t have to. I’m on the side of the USA vs Globalists.
Trump is simply the current leader whether you love or hate him. He is the best leader we have at the moment who can fight the Globalist.
Jew-Hatred? No. Haters of Leftist Jews? Maybe.
Thanks for posting that.
People simply DO NOT understand what Nationalism is.
Globalist Oligarchy vs Nationalism
Limited Government vs Big Government
Federal Law vs State Law
Ordered Liberty vs Anarchy vs Totalitariansim
Good vs Evil
It’s about ‘Axes’. Nationalism can be Good or Evil. It can be for Big Government or Limited Government.
It was nationalism that defeated WW2 German and Japan.
Oh yeah, I'm the troll.
Not the retards ranting about bioweapons labs, pedophilia, and how much the USA deserves to be punished for opposing Dear Leader Putin.
Why not? The Putinist side isn't exactly the one known for its rationality and fact finding.
Meanwhile, you guys literally quote word for word Russian propaganda--even how you're supposed to feel about it!--from Russia's MoD and Putinist blogs, without citation, ever.
“In sum, there is good reason to see Ukraine’s fight as our fight as well.”
Well said...
“Sometimes, War finds YOU!”
Nevertrumper till he saw his audience collapse
And yells at anyone who disagrees with his Royal highness an anti semite
And equates my Southern ancestors as nazis when it suits him
He can go to hell in a bucket
He’s not stupid which makes his transgressions all the more egregious
His 9000 claim is refuted by the United Nations stats and they are no friend of Pootie
And he doesn’t say shit about the 14,000 killed by Azov etc in the Donbass since 2014
Nope let’s ignore that inconvenient slaughter
No no no
If you have a realistic nuanced view of this war and the ocean of lies propagated by our progressive media tech politically incestuous troika means who give reach arounds to Pootie and are a commie yourself and bent on world hegemony and slaughter and don’t support the Zelensky is Clapton movement
Believe the media dammit
Or you’ll get called nasty names here...and I mean it
Lol
Nicely put
Isn’t it weird
This conflict and the divide here is not falling into the usual divides
Like you and me
You really like,me!
Aping Sally Fields
How many mass graves were created by the United States’ war machine over the last 110 years, to include WWI and WWII?
Oh, of course, we should expect levin to say all of THOSE wars were just and honorable.
Mark Levin Attacks Birthers: Admits He Hasn't Studied Issue; Declares Canadian-Born Cruz Eligible
Big difference between a natural-born citizen and a naturalized citizen, right?
I agree 100%.
One of the main reasons I supported Donald Trump in 2016 was because he had a better Russian policy than Obama/Clinton. In the world then being born, I thought (and I still do think) a rapprochement with Russia would have been in our interest.
One of the main reasons Levin was such a furious never-Trumper (I used to listen to him in 2015-2016) was his hatred of Russia, and of Putin (which he always pronounced Pyew-Tin). It was one of the few subjects that got Levin raving mad.
I suppose he still feels that way.
