The Biden administration is using a Department of Homeland Security anti-terrorism grant program to target Americans with conservative and Christian beliefs. It's a shocking discovery that came to light in recent weeks thanks to the Media Research Center.

The Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program provided $352,000 to the PREVENTS-OH initiative at the University of Dayton. Included in the grant application was a chart, "The Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalization," which links well-known conservative organizations to neo-Nazis.

Dan Schneider, vice president of the Media Research Center's Free Speech America, MRC Business, and the external affairs division, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain what his organization discovered.

"They held a conference even before grant funding was provided, where they specifically used this chart and additional charts to train people on how to subvert organizations like The Heritage Foundation," Schneider said. "And this sounds like such a conspiracy theory. It sounds crazy that this is happening, but it really is."

Israel recently celebrated its 75th anniversary, and many Jews and Christians see the state's existence as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, but a former Israeli general also raised the alarm about the growing threats from Iran and its allies in the East.

"Things have changed dramatically in the last year," Amir Avivi, a retired brigadier general in the Israeli Defense Forces, told The Daily Signal in an interview at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention last week. "We've seen the East moving towards adapting to the sanctions the West is imposing in the last year, especially on Russia and rightly so. But China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, all of these countries are getting closer and closer together. It enables them to overcome sanctions."

In April, China brokered a deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia, signaling a new balance of power in the Middle East.

Avivi, who currently serves as founder and chairman of the Israeli Defense and Security Forum, suggested the U.S. should engage more in the Middle East.

"The other option is the U.S. stepping forward, building a coalition in the Middle East, posing a credible military threat on Iran, and by doing so, stabilizing the region," the retired general said. "Bringing peace agreements—because the Saudis are willing to do peace with Israel. They're willing to expand this peace also to Pakistan and Indonesia and Oman."

"But they will not go forward with a peace agreement without American commitment to stand strong with Israel and the Sunni world," Avivi said.

The retired general, who also served as aide-de-camp to the chief of the General Staff of the IDF, said that Israel can defend itself by itself and has extremely strong capabilities, which he cannot reveal.

Avivi also shared the story of how a visit to Jerusalem's holy sites inspired his men to fight harder on the front lines against Palestinian terrorism.

Rabbi Dov Lipman, a former Knesset member and CEO of Yad L'Olim, also joined the podcast. He spoke about "this incredible miracle called Israel" that he views as the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. His organization has helped over 30,000 Jewish families from over 41 different countries to move to Israel and adjust to life in the Holy Land.

Emilee Carpenter, a Christian wedding photographer, had to turn to her lawyer when asked about her religious beliefs about marriage because New York law prevents her from speaking about those beliefs in conjunction with her business.

Carpenter and her lawyer, Kellie Fiedorek, sat down last week with The Daily Signal at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Orlando to discuss the wedding photographer's lawsuit challenging a New York law compelling her to speak in favor of same-sex weddings.

A Christian former professor who almost got fired for ostensibly creating a "suicidal environment" for LGBT students in the classroom is now running an organization dedicated to helping college students maintain their faith in a hostile environment.

"We've moved beyond, in this country and especially at universities, free speech," Corey Miller, president and CEO of Ratio Christi, told The Daily Signal in an interview last week at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Orlando. "This is talking about free thought, cognitive liberty, and if you even think the wrong things, if your organization or individual members in the organization think the wrong things apart from the Gestapo viewpoint, the politically correct viewpoint, then you could be targeted."
