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.

Celebrating the Republican Party’s 2024 election landslide and rejecting progressive policies, the panel emphasizes faith, personal responsibility, and American exceptionalism.
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.

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.
