CURE America

Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Counsel opens "CURE America" on Jeremiah 1:5: before God formed the child, He knew him. He is joined by special guest Jordan Jackson, city director of Love Life DC, and by Torrey Snow, CURE's National Clergy Director.

Jackson walks Planned Parenthood on Fourth and Florida and calls that the small piece. Abortion, he says, is a spiritual fight the church house must win, not the White House. He names the forgotten fathers: when a frightened woman goes first to the man and he answers with provision instead of "your body, your choice," more than...

  Welcome to CURE America. Today our show is hosted by Jonathan Alexandre, Vice President of Governmental Affairs and Senior Counsel at Liberty Counsel.   This episode asks a question most of the culture has decided not to hear: what is a child, if not a product? Alexandre sits with Mark Wiltz of Live Action and Torrey Snow of CURE as they confront surrogacy, IVF, and the industry that sells parenthood as a transaction. Wiltz brings the fight from Capitol Hill and from Live Action's work under Lila Rose—the humanity of the preborn, the damage of the abortion pill, and the diff...

Snow, Squires, and Alexandre explore tensions within the progressive left, the risks of allowing th...

Our guest today is Kelvin J. Cochran—former Fire Chief of Atlanta and former Administrator of the United States Fire Administration under President Obama. We brought him on because his story goes straight to the heart of what is at stake in America right now. Raised in poverty in Shreveport, Louisiana, Cochran worked his way up through the ranks by hard work, discipline, and faith. He served with distinction. Then, while leading Atlanta's fire department, he wrote a book for a private Christian men's Bible study—laying out clear biblical truth about faith, marriage, family, and personal conduct. For that, he w...

Today Donald T. Eason brings in Torrey Snow, CURE's National Clergy Director, to examine one of the most consequential gatherings of the year for America's urban pastors — the National Clergy Summit.
In a searching conversation, Eason and Snow reveal why this three-day gathering in Washington has become the centerpiece of CURE's clergy program. They describe how pastors from across the country — many leading congregations in communities marked by poverty, family breakdown, and entrenched government dependence — arrive weary and leave strengthened. Surrounded by peers who share a similar biblical worldview, they gain hard data, policy access, legal resources, and the qu...

Now chief political columnist and White House correspondent for Newsmax, Gizzi has interviewed presidents from Reagan and Carter to both Bushes and Trump.   In this exclusive conversation with Donald T. Eason, Gizzi delivers a clear-eyed assessment of the Trump presidency. He describes Trump as the first modern president who never held elective or a...

Donald adds his personal reflections, noting how Thomas's words carry special force because they come from his own life — growing up poor in the Jim Crow South.   Despite segregation and discrimination, Thomas and the Black community around him firmly believed that their equality and...

CURE America with Donald T. Eason delivers a powerful message using the vivid caterpillar-to-butterfly metaphor: real transformation requires struggle, effort, and a renewed mind (Romans 12:2). Drawing from his inner-city Detroit upbringing and firsthand experience with government assistance, he explains how he escaped that cycle through faith, hard work, education, and embracing America's opportunities. Eason warns that well-intentioned social programs can hinder growth—like cutting open a cocoon too soon—preventing people from ever learning to "fly." He contrasts this with inspiring figures like Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, who rose thro
