Biden DOJ evidence shows that Biden's DOJ targeted Christians and conservatives, held to a different standard, and weaponized the DOJ / Mike Gallagher
The Weaponization of Government and the Fight for Truth: Reflections from the Mike Gallagher Show
The following blog post is from The Mike Gallagher Show‘s Wednesday episode about the Biden Administration’s abuse of power to silence dissent from the right. Below you’ll find the full episode.
Introduction: A Nation at a Crossroads
The death of Charlie Kirk, the chilling revelations about the FBI’s political targeting, and the ongoing culture clash in America all converge to signal a decisive moment in our nation’s story. Mike Gallagher’s recent show provided not only timely commentary, but a passionate conservative roadmap for confronting these crises. This is a time to take stock, stand for core values, and voice the reality too many wish to deny: our Republic is under assault from weaponized government institutions, ideological intolerance, and the cheapening of American life.
Remembering Charlie Kirk: Legacy, Loss, and the Culture War
It is with heavy hearts that millions of conservatives in America and beyond grapple with the senseless assassination of Charlie Kirk. Far more than a commentator or organizer, Charlie represented a fearless advocate for truth on college campuses and in the public square. Conservatives mourn not just a leader, but a husband, son, and father lost. The emotional core of Gallagher’s reflection is clear: political disagreement must never, ever escalate to violence. We ignore that sacred American principle at our peril.
As Gallagher notes, Kirk’s influence struck such fear in the left that, rather than debate or disprove him, some extremists chose to silence him. The fact that tragic violence would be celebrated—on social media and even by public employees—is a stain on our national character. As one listener texted in: “To those people on the TikTok video…imagine being killed for what you said.” This grotesque inversion of justice demands a sober look at where our country is headed.
The FBI and the Weaponization of Power
Central to this episode is the bombshell revelation, confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, that Biden’s FBI targeted conservative individuals and groups—including Turning Point USA, the Republican Attorneys General Association, and countless others. Testimony from trustworthy officials such as Chuck Grassley exposes how federal law enforcement has been twisted from a neutral arbiter into a political sledgehammer.
Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeyer was unequivocal in his response: “Biden officials at the Department of Justice and FBI were targeting almost 100 individuals and organizations because of their conservative or Republican beliefs.” This is nothing less than a broadside against the First Amendment and the foundational principle of equal protection under the law. Conservatives are right to worry—not only about being surveilled or prosecuted, but about the seismic precedent this sets for dissenters of any persuasion.
Florida’s Stand: Rule of Law, Free Speech, and Civil Action
Florida’s outsized role in these developments is no accident. Under the leadership of courageous officials like Attorney General Uthmeyer and Governor DeSantis, the state has become a bastion for Americans fleeing crime, overreach, and progressive folly in blue states. As Uthmeyer points out, Florida combines “big cities, Tampa, Miami, but we don’t have all these murders and crime rates you see in big cities, sanctuary states, blue states…We support law enforcement. We support free speech.”
The Attorney General’s response to the weaponization of the FBI is not just rhetoric—Florida will use every civil and criminal tool to get to the bottom of these abuses, with subpoenas and investigations forthcoming. But it’s not just about retribution; it’s about restoring Americans’ faith that justice is blind, and that government serves the people, not a party.
The Second Amendment and Conservative Common Sense
Florida has also made headlines with recent rulings on open carry and gun rights. The First District Court of Appeals’ decision to overturn the prohibition on open carry—citing inconsistency with constitutional interpretation—demonstrates a State’s willingness to defend not only national but foundational rights. “Don’t abuse it,” Uthmeyer cautions, reminding listeners that liberty is always accompanied by responsibility. The conservative mantra is clear: uphold the Constitution, but maintain order and public safety.
Free Speech vs. Hate Speech: Drawing the Conservative Line
The question of free speech—where it ends and “hate speech” begins—was put under the microscope by remarks from prominent officials. While some, like former AG Pam Bondi, have taken a hard line against incendiary speech, Uthmeyer clarified that criminal prosecution is only warranted when speech incites or directly threatens violence.
Gallagher, echoing Charlie Kirk’s own philosophy, stressed that “there is no such thing as hate speech in America.” Gross, reprehensible opinions may be voiced, but prosecution is constitutionally limited. That said, public employers and institutions are well within their rights to dismiss those who cross a moral or professional line, especially roles with responsibility for children or mental health. “People can have all these gross opinions,” Uthmeyer argues, “but that doesn’t mean the state has to employ them.”
Moral Clarity: Good vs. Evil in American Life
Many Americans are rightly shocked by the sheer vitriol expressed by public employees, academics, and social media personalities upon hearing of Charlie Kirk’s death. Gallagher and Uthmeyer are clear: when reason and debate fail, the left too often resorts to “danger, murder, silencing”—anything but honest argument. Conservatives must double down on advocating truth and common sense, because “truth wins in the end.”
This is not mere partisanship. As Gallagher notes, even Ezra Klein, a prominent New York Times columnist on the left, recognized what’s at stake: “The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in politics without fear of violence. To lose that is to risk losing everything.” Klein’s willingness to cross ideological lines drew fury, but highlights the larger shared project of American democracy.
Cancel Culture, Consequences, and Free Society
The episode held a harsh spotlight on those who openly rejoiced at Kirk’s murder—and the professional consequences they faced. Clips of TikTok influencers, corporate employees, and even public officials losing their jobs went viral. Gallagher’s conservative take isn’t to endorse “cancel culture” or criminalize opinion, but to affirm the right of organizations to disassociate from individuals whose values are antithetical to their own.
Free speech protects you from imprisonment for what you say—not from the loss of employment or public standing when you cross lines of decency. That is accountability, not censorship. As the fire chief of Cleveland discovered after an incendiary post, actions have consequences in civil society. The suggestion is simple: if you would not say something about a family’s tragedy in person, don’t post it online. People celebrating political violence should not be surprised when employers act.
Florida as a Conservative Model: Crime, Growth, and Opportunity
Turning back to the Sunshine State, both Gallagher and Uthmeyer returned repeatedly to Florida’s success compared to blue states. Lower crime, safer cities, robust economic growth, and a climate of freedom draw thousands to relocate—though, as Gallagher jokes, “New Yorkers can come try all they want, but they’ve got to get through Governor DeSantis and Attorney General Uthmeyer first.”
Florida’s agenda is clear: protect children, enforce the law, and defend constitutional rights. Almost 500 child predator arrests since Uthmeyer took office underscore a commitment to tangible outcomes, not rhetoric. The promise to hold bad actors accountable—whether predators, political operatives, or public officials—resonates with every American who wants to see law and order restored.
Looking Ahead: Hope, Resilience, and Conservative Unity
The Mike Gallagher Show concluded on a message of hope and resolve. While acknowledging the gravity of the challenges facing the country, Gallagher and his guests hold fast to the conviction that the American idea is worth defending. With 2026 already dubbed by some as the “Charlie Kirk election,” the GOP and the conservative movement see an opportunity to regroup, unify, and rebuild.
The outpouring of support—tangible and spiritual—for Kirk’s family and Turning Point USA underscores the movement’s strength. Campaigns like “I Am Charlie” and the solidarity around memorial events reveal that, even in dark moments, a commitment to faith, family, and freedom can unite millions.
Conclusion: Stand Up and Speak Out
If there is one lesson to draw from this episode, it’s that silence and resignation are not options. Conservatives must continue to expose abuses of power, vocally defend constitutional norms, and live out American principles—even when it is costly. Florida’s model of action, accountability, and community offers a blueprint for restoring common sense and rebuilding trust across the nation.
As Gallagher reminded his audience, history is shaped by those who refuse to go quietly. Whether confronting weaponized bureaucracy, ideological fanaticism, or simply the loss of a friend, the conservative cause demands not despair, but doubling down on truth. Modern American life, in all its mess and conflict, still holds a future for those willing to defend it.
