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.

Eason, who's in Israel meeting with high-level officials and influential people. Joined by special guest Paul Teller, Executive Vice President of Advancing American Freedom, alongside Kris Ullman, President of Eagle Forum, and Marty Dannenfelser, Vice President for Government Relations at CURE, Alexandre fuels a blazing showdown of ideas.

Teller roars against Congress's spineless spending cuts, as Ullman brands Planned Parenthood's $699 million abortion empire “colonialism in a caring mask” on the world stage. Dannenfelser battles judicial overreach with fearless reforms, forging a call to arms as sharp as it is unapologetic. Cure America delivers—bold, brilliant, and blazing with purpose.
On March 26 the Texas House Committee on State Affairs heard public testimony on HJR 98, a clean Article V application for proposing fiscal restraints, jurisdictional constraints, and term limits on the federal government and its officials.

This week on CURE America with Star Parker, we dive into the aftermath of the explosive debate between former Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Joined by Kristen A. Ullman, President of Eagle Forum, Carrie Sheffield, Senior Policy Analyst at Independent Women's Forum, Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government, and Jonathan Alexandre, Senior Counsel at Liberty Counsel Action, we analyze the key moments and their impact on the nation. We start with a critical look at Biden's disastrous debate performance. He struggled to articulate and froze on stage multiple times, clearly not fit to serve. The panel discusses his history of falsehoods and the severe consequences of his presidency, including the surge in illegal immigration and the escalation of global conflicts. The war in Ukraine, which began after Biden's failed evacuation from Afghanistan, and the Hamas-Israel war highlight the stark contrast between his leadership and the peace and respect maintained during Trump's presidency. Had Trump been in office, the current war in Israel would not have occurred. In contrast, Donald Trump was clearly the strong, coherent leader America needs. His debate performance showcased his decisive nature and firm stance on crucial issues like immigration, national security, and the economy. Trump's policies are seen as vital for restoring America's strength and stability. We also discuss Biden's presidency, criticized for pushing the nation towards socialism and undermining its core values. Join us for a compelling analysis of the debate and what it means for America's future.

Amy is joined by activist and advocate Troy Williams to discuss his incredible coming out journey from the Eagle Forum to Equality Utah, plus how changing our perspective can help turn enemies into allies, and why people of all identities are needed in the struggle for equality.For the past two decades, Troy Williams has been a community organizer playing pivotal roles in passing laws and protections for the LGBTQ community in Utah, including the historic Utah Compromise, a statute against LGBTQ and racially inclusive hate crimes, and a ban on LGBTQ conversation therapy. In 2010, he co-wrote the award-winning play, "The Passion of Sister Dottie S. Dixon" with the late Charles Lynn Frost, and has since worked on various movies and series centered around real-life stories and people from the Mormon faith. He became the executive director of Equality Utah in the fall of 2014 and was named one of the nation's 50 LGBTQ Champions of Pride in 2022 by The Advocate magazine.
In this episode, co-host Bruce Lesley chats with Mike Hixenbaugh, a senior investigative reporter for NBC News about the ongoing attacks on public schools across the country. They discuss Hixenbaugh's new book, “They Came for the Schools: One Town's Fight Over Race and Identity, and the New War for America's Classrooms,” which documents the culture wars in Southlake and Grapevine, Texas. Hixenbaugh argues that challenges to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and critical race theory (CRT) stem from resistance to dealing with racism and repeat previous patterns in our society. Hixenbaugh compares the current attacks on public education by groups such as “Moms for Liberty” with prior movements, such as efforts to stop the teaching of evolution, opposition to desegregation of public schools, and groups like Phyllis Schlafly's “Eagle Forum,” which waged a campaign to purge classrooms of books and curriculums that they deemed anti-God, anti-American, and anti-family. In the podcast, Hixenbaugh also discusses why he centered the students as the protagonists in his book.Learn more about attacks on public education: Book: They Came for the Schools: One Town's Fight Over Race and Identity, and the New War for America's Classrooms, By Mike HixenbaughBook Review: Texas Schools at a Crossroads: Identity, Politics, and Public Education in Hixenbaugh's 'They Came for the Schools', By Bruce Lesley Newsletter: The Alliance for Student Liberty, By Lily Klam Article: When Conservative Parents Revolt, By Mike HixenbaughBlog: Texans Standing Up for Their Students and Public Schools, By Bruce LesleyPodcasts: Southlake and Grapevine, By Mike Hixenbaugh and Antonia HyltonTo join the conversation, follow First Focus on Children on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Fear is the enemy that exploits our vision. Fear must not limit our vision for the future. As a society, we have overcome many obstacles in the face of adversity. When you believe in something, you must fight for it. And when you see injustice, you must fight harder than you've ever fought before. Moving toward conflict resolution for people dedicated to a sustainable future requires us to talk to each other and recognize the power that lies in our diversity. Today, we are so fortunate to have Summer Boger, President of Eagle Forum of California. She voices her concerns about vaccines, government control, and the impact of social media on the public's access to information. Summer has worked for over 20 years in San Diego as a Holistic Health Practitioner specializing in the care of prenatal postpartum women. She has concentrated her more recent efforts on issues regarding public health, government imposed school mandates for vaccination, and bills moving through the legislature jeopardizing the right children have to FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education). Today, Summer will share what she believes is the most important thing to fight for. Don't miss this exciting episode of the Future Generations Podcast with your host, Dr Stanton Hom! Quotes: “Humans achieve a level of God that they can; they've earned the right to manipulate and change life-altered life in ways that we can't even fathom today.” – Stanton Hon “They think that they're taught everything. By the time they graduate, they should have been taught everything, but they were never taught to look at that critically.” – Summer Boger “Population control allows for women's rights and abortion, and it's using these vaccines to sterilize us and alter our DNA.” – Summer Boger “You're not in battle, or contention with anyone. And you're just standing there and love to let people see that you care about the lives of those expected unplanned pregnancies you care about life enough to stand on that street corner.” – Summer Boger “We need a stamp for life and to start at the place where God said to start, and that's to stop the sacrifice of children.” - Summer Boger Key Takeaways: The biggest lobbyists are the pharmaceutical industry. The pharmaceutical industry tends to make a lot of money, which started when they could patent drugs and market them. Reasons people choose not to vaccinate are allergies, religion, ethical reasons, and more. Many are not aware of the ingredients of vaccines and the vaccine-making process. The vaccine ingredients included aborted fetus tissue. Some people may oppose having certain substances injected into their bodies. The censorship of pharmaceuticals led to a logical conclusion: they are aware of the harms of their product, so they know what to censor. And if anyone questions this narrative,t, they run the risk of being de-platformed or shadow banned. Studying history helps us understand and grapple with complex questions and dilemmas by examining how the past has shaped (and continues to shape) global, national, and local relationships between societies and people.

Fight for what's right. Fight for what you believe in, and what's important to you. But most importantly, fight for the ones you love, and never forget to tell them how much they mean to you while they're still alive. Just like Summer, she fights for what she believes in, cares about, and she works to become the change she wishes to see in the world.
