> MARK LEVIN: "THE LEFT'S WEAPONIZATION OF POWER"

## What the media says

**Video transcript** (7:06), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> Alright, as we continue this special edition of Hannity earlier today, I went to see the great one Mark Levin at his studio. We had a long conversation about his brand new book out this week. It's called On Power. You can get it on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, and as of Tuesday, bookstores all across the country. It is as relevant today as it has ever been, especially in light of new revelations about the Russia collusion hoax and the declassification, and the beauty is, what was that all about? Power. They didn't want Donald Trump to have it because they want it. Now don't forget, tune in Sunday night, Life Liberty Levin right here on the Fox News Channel, 8 Eastern, and guess what? I will be interviewing Mark on his show about his book and so much more, but here is part of our discussion. Take a look. Great one. Thank me. How are you doing? You too. I can't wait. I'll interview you on your show for Sunday night, which I'm excited to be doing. Me too. Thank you for letting me do it. I read the book cover to cover, and it really, I'll use a phrase, ripped from today's headlines. Look at what we've been discussing all week, power. We now have Cash Patel looking into what is a grand conspiracy, whether or not what was done in 2016, dirty dossier, FISA applications based on a dirty dossier, information evidence ignored by Comey as it relates to Hillary's servers, then the grand conspiracy would go through 2020, a real laptop, verified, authentic by the FBI, the pre-bunket, I'm making the argument that the left has put, through powerful deep state operatives, has put cinder blocks on the scales of not one, not two, but three presidential elections. Now, you talk about power, on power. You talk about positive power, negative power. When you take the philosophy in this book and apply it to the headlines of today. These Democrats, these bureaucrats are unmoored from our founding. They're unmoored from the principles of our founding. They're unmoored from the enlightenment. They're unmoored from our constitution. And many of them come out of the closet. Some of them say they're Marxist. Some of them say they're democratic socialists. But if you're not bound by our founding principles, then you're not bound by morality. You're not bound by virtue. You're bound by your own conceit and your effort to accumulate power. What these people are, power-hungry, and they have, in many ways, destroyed the instrumentalities of our justice system. You can't have freedom when the law is used to destroy freedom. You can't have justice when the so-called Department of Justice exists to destroy justice. They did it here, you and I were the first to point this out, back in March 2017. They used the FBI, which is enormously powerful, the CIA, these intelligence agencies, they knew they lied, not a single person objected, that a single person in the Obama administration said no, this is wrong. Not the Attorney General, not the head of the National Security Council, none of them. None of them said it was wrong. What we've learned here through the release of this information by Tulsi Gabbard is the head mobster was Obama that he knew, and he had to know, because it was in the newspapers. Because it was his cabinet, because it was all in the -- and he's never been questioned, he's never been investigated, dorm didn't question him, the Hill hasn't questioned him, and he needs to be examined. And the reason is for our republic. We can't have presidencies like this that undermine the very foundation of our society. Mark, what we learned through this declassification is we had career top senior intelligence officials. They did an assessment on the 2016 election. They didn't find any Trump-Russia collusion. And according to these newly declassified documents, Obama himself wanted a new intelligence community assessment. And when those deep state actors took the original content, they just flipped the narrative on its head and made up a whole new narrative, and hence three years of Trump's presidency, he had to deal with this conspiracy theory. And it's now a pattern, what they did to Donald Trump, private citizen, candidate Trump. It's a pattern. They used these same tools, the Department of Justice, the FBI, the intelligence agencies, to try and destroy him as a citizen, as a candidate, and as president. They still haven't given up. They've already said, if we take the House of Representatives, we're going to impeach him again. To tie to the book, this is a very dark and evil ideology, and it is not an American ideology. It's more like the old Soviet ideology, or the communist Chinese ideology, or the Islamist ideology in the Middle East, because as I said, they are unmoored from our founding principles. They're interested in power. And if they can't get power by the ballot box, they'll try and take power by destroying somebody, by using our legal and justice system, whatever it takes. They're power hungry, and they are unmoored from our principles. So when I get to be the host of your show, on your show, you're a guest on your show, on Sunday night, we're going to go through what you describe as positive power, and negative power, and what makes America special and unique, and our founders, and their principles, and the underpinnings of faith in our society, and the moderating force of such, and how there's a constant struggle in the Democratic Party. They want all this power, the Mamdani's, and the AOC's, and the squads, versus those of us that believe in liberty, and freedom, and capitalism, which has been proven to be most successful. This is the battle. This is it. The battle is over power, to ensure that we have liberty and rights, that's the battle. And we've got to win this battle for the sake of our children and grandchildren. I think it's one of the best books you've ever written, and it's as relevant, because especially in light of this past week we've lived through. Anyway, the great one Mark Levin, on power, amazon.com, hannity.com, as of Tuesday, bookstores all across the country, I will be hosting his show, 8pm, Sunday night, right here on the Fox News Channel.

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-22T03:16:37.207Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Analysis: Mark Levin Video Share — "Weaponization of Power"

This post is a simple share of a Mark Levin video clip with the title in all caps. It fits within a cluster of posts from the same period focused on Russia hoax vindication and perceived political persecution themes.

### Authorship
Posted at 02:50 UTC. Trump was in Scotland (Turnberry) at this time, making local time approximately 03:50 BST. This is consistent with late-night authentic posting, though the post's minimal, clean formatting (just a name and quote title) could also indicate an aide queuing content. The all-caps style and thematic consistency with the surrounding vindication cluster suggest Trump at minimum directed this content.

### Psychological Context
This post is part of a sustained "great reveal" narrative arc visible across the adjacent posts — all centered on Russia hoax vindication. The Levin share reinforces the persecution/vindication frame: "the left" weaponized power against Trump, and now truth is emerging. This is classic contamination-to-redemption sequencing.

### Rhetorical Function
Amplifying a sympathetic media voice (Levin) serves as third-party validation. The framing of "weaponization" positions Trump as victim of institutional abuse, a recurring narrative device.

### Clinical Significance
Low. This is routine supply-seeking and narrative maintenance — curating media voices that validate the persecution/vindication storyline. No novel clinical patterns observed.

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**Vindication Binge Derailed by Economic Reality Triggers Institutional Rage Cascade and Nuclear Posturing**

Trump spent the day toggling between celebrating what he called total vindication in the Russia investigation and lashing out at economic institutions that delivered bad news. A weak jobs report set off a chain reaction: he publicly ordered the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics fired, called the data rigged, and escalated his attacks on Fed Chair Powell from name-calling to demanding his resignation. The most alarming moment came in the afternoon when he announced repositioning nuclear submarines in response to provocative statements by a former Russian president — delivered with the same casual sign-off he uses for routine political posts. The overall mood was combative and scattered, with late-night rapid-fire posting giving way to a daytime pattern of grievance escalation across multiple fronts.
