Capitalism vs. Socialism Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

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 through determination and self-education. The episode champions faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility, rooted in the "three C's": Christianity, the Constitution, and capitalism. Eason contrasts biblical voluntary generosity with socialism's forced redistribution—pointing to Venezuela's collapse as proof it fails—while defending capitalism as the system that rewards effort, protects property, and lifts communities. Hopeful and empowering, the show urges viewers to trust their God-given talents, embrace the struggle, and renew their minds in America's free system. It's a bold call to transformation packed with biblical truth, real-life stories, and a fresh vision for urban renewal—definitely worth watching.

CURE America with Donald T. Eason presents a powerful, no-holds-barred message from Apostle Ellis L. Smith, apostolic leader and pastor of Jubilee City Church in Detroit. In this fiery speech, Apostle Smith calls believers to adopt a true biblical worldview amid intense spiritual and ideological warfare threatening America's soul. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:3–6, he explains how our weapons are mighty through God to pull down strongholds, cast down false arguments, and bring every thought captive to Christ. He exposes cultural compromises, secular humanism in education, identity politics, superficial faith phrases, and mixtures like yoga in churches. Apostle Smith challenges believers to think biblically about God, truth, justice, manhood, abortion, gender, and more—rejecting worldly lenses and renewing the mind with Scripture. Sharing his inspiring story of founding the Colin Powell Academy charter school in Detroit, he shows how faith-rooted, redemptive education transformed urban students and gained national attention. This is a bold wake-up call: In these challenging times, it's our moment to shine, awaken to righteousness, and boldly represent God's Kingdom in education, culture, and every sphere of life. Tune in to CURE America for this anointed challenge to stand firm in truth and fight for the renewal of our nation!

Paul Teller, Ph.D. President of Teller Strategies Dec 08, 2025

Show notes

Today we bring you a powerful, in-depth conversation with one of Washington's most seasoned conservative leaders, Dr. Paul Teller, former Executive Director of the Republican Study Committee, Chief of Staff to Senator Ted Cruz, and senior legislative aide in President Trump's White House. From the halls of Congress to the West Wing, Paul pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to fight for conservative principles in a divided capital. He shares the difference between serving in the majority and the minority, the biggest policy wins and heartbreaking disappointments of the past 25 years, how conservatives plan to restore strong school-choice provisions in 2026, and why America's unwavering support for Israel is not just right — it's essential to our own national security. With unflinching clarity, Paul and Donald tackle the truth about the Israel-Hamas war, the success of the Abraham Accords, the Palestinian rejection of peace, and the real meaning behind "from the river to the sea." A candid, no-spin discussion on faith, freedom, fiscal responsibility, and the future of the conservative movement with one of the men who helped shape it for over two decades. This is an episode you don't want to miss on CURE America with Donald T. Eason!

Douglas Eagle & Dr. Darryll Jones Nov 24, 2025

Show notes

This week we bring you powerful messages from the 2025 CURE National Clergy Summit. First, Douglas Eagle, former SWAT officer turned registered investment advisor and founder of Eagle Wealth Management Group, shares his calling to "shepherd the shepherds." He passionately explains the little-known 403(b)(9) church retirement plan that allows pastors to contribute pre-tax, grow tax-deferred, and withdraw funds tax-free as housing allowance in retirement — a game-changing tool most advisors don't even know exists, designed to protect pastors and their families from financial hardship. Then, Dr. Darryll Jones, president of the Stanley M. Herzog Charitable Foundation and veteran pastor of 35 years, delivers a stirring call to action on Christ-centered K-12 education. With homeschooling up 51% and public-school failures exposed, he urges clergy to lead the charge in starting Christian schools and learning centers, highlighting the Foundation's free training, resources, and proven "School Box" platform that has already launched hundreds of new schools nationwide. Two bold voices equipping pastors to protect their finances and the next generation — only on CURE America!

The Honorable Janice Rogers Brown Nov 18, 2025

Show notes

Today we bring you a show taped live at the CURE 2025 National Clergy Summit in Washington, D.C., at the iconic Willard Hotel—where history meets destiny just two blocks from the White House. The voice you're about to hear belongs to the Honorable Janice Rogers Brown, a judicial titan who rose from segregated Alabama to the California Supreme Court and then to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, confirmed in a 56–43 Senate showdown that still echoes in conservative lore. She retired in 2017 as one of the sharpest originalist minds of her era, a Bradley Prize laureate, and the author of the explosive 2024 essay *"Bread and Stones,"* which declares the Supreme Court's 1873 *Slaughter-House* decision turned the 14th Amendment's promise of liberty into a stone of oppression for Black Americans and every citizen since. But forget the résumé—this is no dusty lecture. Judge Brown steps to the Willard podium and delivers a sermon that feels like a lightning strike. She opens with a kindergarten story about a boy who draws God in ten minutes, then pivots to a chilling diagnosis: America has fallen from "city on a hill" to a meteorite streaking into the abyss, its light fading in a culture drunk on power and contemptuous of the Creator who once defined our equality. She quotes Ken Burns calling the American Founding the second greatest event in human history, then sharpens the blade: it only matters because the Founders tethered equality to God, not human whim. Calvin Coolidge's 1926 warning rings through her words—"If all men are created equal, that is final"—and anyone who denies it is marching backward into tyranny. She resurrectes the "black regiment" of colonial preachers whose pulpits birthed the Revolution, then warns today's clergy: you are the last line before Canadian-style arrests for preaching biblical sexuality. California already fines citizens $250,000 for refusing to call a man "she," and the First Amendment's right to silence is dead under SOGI laws. Congress flipped from defending marriage in 1996 to codifying *Obergefell* in 2022, proving we are not the people who sustained liberty for 250 years. On campuses, students chant "Don't tell me facts!" and declare objective truth a Euro-West weapon to silence the oppressed—Isaiah's lament that "truth has fallen in the streets" has never felt more urgent. Yet rebellion, she insists, isn't ignorance; it's defiance. We know right from wrong because it's written on our hearts. The rainbow flag isn't about tolerance—it's about forcing celebration to quiet guilty consciences. She closes with Martin Luther King's dream, updated for our moment: dissatisfied until no one shouts white power, black power, or trans power, but God's power and human power. "We've messed this up so badly no human can fix it," she says, voice steady with hope, "but that ain't all we got." If you're a pastor, parent, or patriot who still believes America's founding was a spiritual revolution worth fighting for, this is your battle cry. Judge Brown doesn't just diagnose the darkness—she hands you the torch. Sit down, press play, and bring the salt. The culture's tomatoes are already flying.

One-on-One Interview with Star Parker at the 2025 CURE Clergy Summit Nov 10, 2025

Show notes

Join us for a special episode of CURE America, where host Pastor Donald T. Eason sits down with Star Parker, the founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE). This conversation was recorded live at the 2025 CURE Clergy Policy Summit, held in Washington, DC at the iconic Willard Hotel. Star, who has authored four books drawing from her own journey out of welfare, shares insights from her 30 years building an organization dedicated to helping others achieve independence and dignity. This episode offers a unique look at the transition of leadership at CURE, captured amid a gathering of over 400 pastors focused on faith-driven solutions for urban communities. The discussion begins with the hand-off, as Star explains to Donald that after three decades of leading, it's time for a new chapter—one she believes requires strong pastoral guidance from men in the community. She emphasizes why the next steps in addressing inner-city challenges must come from pastors rather than politicians, and why she chose this moment to step aside while remaining involved. From there, Star addresses why she views Social Security as a modern-day barrier to wealth-building, particularly for black families. She argues that allowing individuals to invest the 12.4% deducted from their paychecks could close the wealth gap in a single generation, highlighting how the current system prevents families from passing on inheritances. The pair also explores the drawbacks of minimum-wage laws through a biblical lens, noting with a mix of humor and seriousness how such policies might have disrupted the story of Ruth and Boaz—potentially altering the lineage leading to King David and Jesus. They tie this to broader lessons from Scripture about opportunity and hard work. Star shares a recurring prophecy she's heard from several sources: that the next Great Awakening in America will emerge through the Black church. She sees the summit itself as evidence that this moment is unfolding now, urging collaboration between churches to drive real change. In the closing moments, Star delivers a direct call to action, stating that every church should function as a school and every pastor as a policy influencer. Without this engagement, she warns, government efforts will continue to fall short in fixing community issues. Overall, this episode focuses on the evolution of a longstanding movement, offering practical wisdom and inspiration for viewers committed to faith-driven solutions.

Corey DeAngelis - The Parent Revolution Oct 21, 2025

Show notes

This week, CURE America with Donald T. Eason sits down with Dr. Corey DeAngelis, "the school choice evangelist" and bestselling author of The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools, endorsed by Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy. In this explosive episode, DeAngelis exposes how COVID lockdowns unveiled public schools' shift to "gender ideology" and "critical race theory" over math and reading. Shocking stats—like Chicago's 55 schools with zero math proficiency despite $30,000/student spending—reveal a system bloated by a 95% surge in administrators since 1970. Unions, led by Randi Weingarten, silenced parents, with school boards cutting mics and the Biden-era FBI tagging moms as "domestic terrorists."

But a "mama bear" uprising is reshaping education: 17 states passed universal school choice laws in four years, letting parents fund schools or homeschooling (~$1,000/year vs. public schools' $15,000–$30,000) that align with their values.

DeAngelis highlights Florida's public schools soaring to top rankings via competition and micro-schools where kids learn physics by building bows and arrows for ~$10,000/year. His research shows school choice cuts crime and empowers religious families. Eason ties it to Proverbs 22:6, emphasizing parents as primary educators. DeAngelis slams unions for dodging Supreme Court rulings and endorsing figures like Virginia's Jay Jones, who fantasized about violence.

Failure Factory: Baltimore Schools' Betrayal of Students Oct 07, 2025

Show notes

Buckle up for an explosive episode of CURE America that will ignite your passion for change! Host Donald T. Eason, president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), sits down with Chris Papst, a relentless investigative reporter from Baltimore and author of Failure Factory: How Baltimore City Public Schools Deprive Taxpayers and Students of a Future. Papps delivers a bombshell exposé on the dire state of Baltimore's public schools, where a jaw-dropping $1.7 billion annual budget fails to educate kids—only 10% of students are proficient in math, and key metrics like attendance and SAT scores are plummeting. Prepare to be shocked as Papst reveals a system that prioritizes funding and administrative jobs over student success. Policies like the "50% rule" hand out passing grades for little to no effort, while social promotion pushes kids through grades without mastering the basics. With enrollment dropping by 6,500 students and 1,200 more adults hired, the system's focus is clear: money over kids. Powerful teachers' unions in Maryland block reforms like charter schools, leaving parents—many trapped in poverty or undereducated by the same system—powerless to fight back. This isn't just Baltimore's problem—it's a national crisis threatening our society's future! Papst's eight-year investigation, detailed in Failure Factory, is a wake-up call to demand accountability. Discover stories of parents fighting against the odds and learn how some schools succeed despite the same challenges. Grab Failure Factory at Amazon or Barnes & Noble, and follow Chris Papst on X for more insights.
