ON POWER with Mark Levin | The Drill Down | Ep. 231

#power #foundingfathers #america

==========

Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers interview @marklevinshow about his book On Power, exploring how the American Revolution centered on the question of who wields authority. Levin distinguishes between positive power—constitutional authority exercised for good—and negative power—tyrannical overreach, particularly by unelected judges and bureaucracy. He critiques judicial activism, property taxes, Marxist and Islamist ideologies, and deceptive political promises, warning against top-down revolutions.

Levin defends ordered liberty, capitalist prosperity, and Israel’s fight against Hamas, framing it as a battle between Western civilization and barbarism. The conversation blends political philosophy, historical context, and current events into a sharp defense of constitutional governance.
