• Pastor Lorenzo Sewell of 180 Church
    Aug 4 2025

    Welcome to Cure America! Donald T. Eason has an engaging conversation with Pastor Lorenzo Sewell of 180 Church in Detroit, tackling the pressing
    educational crisis in urban America. Pastor Sewell, a dedicated advocate for school choice, exposes the failures of Detroit’s public schools—where 80% of students struggle to read at grade level—and calls for empowering parents to choose better schools for their children. Grounded in faith, his perspective ties biblical principles to policy reforms, aligning with President Trump’s vision to uplift struggling communities.

    The show then transitions to a compelling panel discussion with policy experts Jonathan Alexandre Senior Counsel, Liberty Counsel Action and Marty Dannenfelser Vice President for Government Relations, Center for Urban Renewal and Education. They analyze the “one big, beautiful bill,” signed by President Trump on July 4, 2025, a landmark achievement of the “America First” agenda. The panel highlights its transformative provisions: permanent tax cuts saving families an average of $10,000, including exemptions for tips and overtime; Medicaid reforms prioritizing vulnerable groups with work requirements; a one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood to curb abortion funding; a $1,700 tax credit for school choice scholarships, despite blue-state resistance; and robust border security funding ($46 billion for the border wall, $70 billion for ICE) to protect communities. Celebrating the Republican Party’s 2024 election landslide and rejecting progressive policies, the panel emphasizes faith, personal responsibility, and American exceptionalism.

  • "The One Big Beautiful Bill"
    Jul 28 2025
    Welcome to CURE America, hosted by Donald T. Eason, President of CURE—the Center for Urban Renewal and Education. Joining the discussion are Marty Dannenfelser, Vice President for Government Relations at CURE; Kris A. Ullman, President of Eagle Forum; and Jonathan Alexandre, Senior Counsel at Liberty Counsel Action. The panel unpacks the “One Big Beautiful Bill” signed by President Trump on July 4, 2025, analyzing its content and implications. The episode includes a speech by Mike Johnson, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, a Louisiana Republican known for advocating conservative policies, faith, family, and American exceptionalism since 2023. The bill is presented as a landmark of the America First agenda and fulfillment of 2024 election promises by voters who rejected open borders, inflationary spending, and political division. Johnson highlights the bill’s unifying effects across Black, Hispanic, Jewish, union, and suburban communities by promoting common-sense reforms. It permanently extends the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, averting 2026 tax hikes and offering families an average annual savings of $10,000. Major components include raising the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 (indexed to inflation), increasing the adoption credit to $5,000, exempting tips and overtime from taxation, and raising the estate tax exemption to $15–30 million. The bill encourages investment through full expensing of equipment and research, targeting a 1.2% boost in GDP. Welfare reforms implement work requirements (20–80 hours per month) for able-bodied adults on Medicaid or SNAP, while focusing assistance on vulnerable populations, excluding illegal immigrants, and cutting $1.5 trillion in government waste. Planned Parenthood is defunded for one year, with resources redirected to community health centers. Education policy includes permanent Opportunity Zones and a $1,700 scholarship credit to help students leave failing public schools. Border security receives $170.7 billion in funding: $51.6 billion for completing the wall, 116,000 detention beds, 13,000 officers and agents, and reimbursements to Texas. The bill emphasizes law enforcement, reducing illegal crossings, and restoring American global leadership through increased NATO spending, ceasefire initiatives, and trade deals. Though adding $3 trillion to the national deficit in the short term, the bill is framed as an investment in national strength, economic stability, and opportunity. Built on principles of liberty and self-governance, the bill seeks to deliver measurable results.

  • CURE AMERICA - The Fight for Life: Marjorie Dannenfelser
    Jul 7 2025

    Across a nation fractured by abortion, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, sits with host Donald T. Eason to lay bare the stakes of the pro-life cause. As leader of the country’s largest pro-life organization, Dannenfelser pulls back the curtain on chemical abortions, spotlighting a rarely discussed procedure: abortion pill reversal. With a dose of progesterone, women can halt the abortion process after taking the first pill—a lifeline with documented successes that remains shrouded in silence. She points to studies revealing grim realities—severe adverse events, even death, tied to abortion pills—and accuses the industry of sidelining women’s health, often denying ultrasounds despite evidence that over 50% of women choose life after seeing their unborn child. Dannenfelser details her group’s unyielding mission: door-to-door campaigns in battleground states, advocacy to elect pro-life leaders, and a commitment to healing for women scarred by abortion. Her work is grounded in the belief that life begins at conception, where unique DNA marks a new human soul. Yet she confronts systemic failures—clinics bypassing informed consent, particularly for non-English speakers—exposing an industry she says values abortion over humanity. This is a conversation that cuts to the core, blending science, faith, and moral urgency to reveal the unseen battles of the pro-life movement.

  • “Test Me,” Says God
    Apr 28 2025
    Welcome to CURE AMERICA - THIS WEEK, hosted by Donald T. Eason, Pastor and President of CURE (Center for Urban Renewal and Education). The episode delves into Eason’s Israel trip, where President Isaac Herzog declared, “This is our land, blessed by God,” emphasizing Israel’s divine claim and the need for accessibility to all. The panel—Kristen A. Ullman, JD (President of Eagle Forum), Jonathan Alexandre (Vice President of Governmental Affairs, Liberty Counsel), and Marty Dannenfelser (Vice President of Government Relations and Coalitions, CURE)—explores President Trump’s trade negotiations with over 70 countries, efforts to lower interest rates, and a 2025 budget resolution funding national security, border security, and tax cuts. Discussions cover misinformation surrounding federal spending cuts, the benefits of reduced illegal immigration, and block grants to states for fiscal control, clarifying that “cuts” mean slowing spending growth. In a one-on-one interview, Dr. OJ Oleka, CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation, shares his family’s journey from Nigerian immigrants arriving in 1980 to achieving the American Dream through faith, education, and hard work. The conversation highlights financial literacy, school choice, and tithing as tools to combat poverty, with Oleka noting the biblical call in Malachi to “test” God through tithing for abundant blessings. He directs viewers to sfof.com for resources on state financial officers’ literacy initiatives. The episode concludes with a panel discussion on a Supreme Court case challenging Maryland’s LGBTQ curriculum for elementary students, which denies parental opt-outs. Topics include the ideological nature of materials like Pride Puppy, the elitist dismissal of parental authority, the curriculum’s impact on young children, and the diverse plaintiffs (Christian, Muslim, Ethiopian Orthodox) opposing it. The panel advocates for school choice and parental opt-out rights, urging viewers to contact Congress in this faith-driven call to action.
