Reviving the American Dream
This week on CURE America with Star Parker, join Star in a thought-provoking dialogue with Tim Goeglein, Vice President of Government Relations at Focus on the Family. Together, they explore the profound cultural shifts that have shaped America since the turbulent 1960s, as chronicled in Tim's book, "Stumbling Toward Utopia." Star and Tim delve into how the seeds of change sown decades ago by progressive ideologies have grown into today's complex societal landscape, affecting everything from family structures to our very sense of national identity. They address the unsettling statistics on diminishing patriotism, the importance of family, and community involvement, pondering whether America is truly on a path toward an elusive utopia or veering towards a deeper crisis. Yet, amidst these reflections, Tim, ever the optimist, offers a beacon of hope. He speaks of a potential "Great Awakening" among the youth, a generation yearning for something beyond the hollow promises of modernity, turning instead to the roots of tradition, faith, and community. The conversation also touches on the interplay between politics and faith, suggesting that while political change is necessary, the real transformation must begin at the grassroots level, within our churches, homes, and local communities. They discuss the imperative for believers and all who value America's foundational principles to step up, influence education, engage in local governance, and champion a return to what has historically made the nation strong. So tune in to CURE America with Star Parker for an enlightening journey through America's cultural evolution, a call to action, and a message of hope for a nation poised on the brink of renewal. Don't forget to grab Tim Goeglein's "Stumbling Toward Utopia" for a deeper insight into this compelling narrative.

Illegals at the Ballot Box: What You Need to Know
This week on CURE America with Star Parker, we bring you a one-on-one candid conversation, with Tirzah Duren, the Vice President of Policy and Research at the American Research Institute, providing invaluable insights into the intricate dynamics of inflation. Her expertise sheds light on the correlation between rising minimum wages across the board and its consequential impact on employment rates. Duren's research highlights a concerning trend: as minimum wages increase; a significant portion of the workforce faces unemployment while simultaneously grappling with escalated living costs. Indeed, the higher the minimum wage climbs, the greater the strain on the lower earners. Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government together with our own Senior Vice-President of Government Affairs, Marty Dannenfelser, delve into pressing matters related to the border and voting integrity. Illegals may be voting in the upcoming elections. We’ll explore what this means, especially considering the influx of 7-8 million illegal immigrants, and their impact on congressional representation and how illegals may be registered to vote. But that’s not all. We’ll also discuss the dismissal articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, who lied on the situation at the border. He had absolute knowledge of what he was doing—allowing million illegals to enter the United States with one purpose: to secure votes. We’ll reveal how the left has engineered a system to let illegals vote. Tune in for a thought-provoking episode that tackles the tough issues head-on.

Stopping Terror: No Ceasefire for Hamas
This week’s episode of CURE America with Star Parker brings a powerful and urgent focus on Israel’s war against Hamas, following the brutal October 7th terrorist attacks. With Israel under fire and global anti-Semitism rising, Star and her guests tackle the need for bold U.S. leadership in standing unapologetically with Israel. E.J. Kimball, from the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement, exposes how radical groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) are openly spreading pro-Hamas propaganda across more than 200 U.S. college campuses. This is not just about politics—this is a calculated, dangerous rise in anti-Semitism, masked as anti-Zionism, targeting both Israel and America’s foundational Judeo-Christian values. Greg Gross, a defense expert, makes it clear that the Biden administration’s weak, indecisive response is hurting Israel. He contrasts this with President Trump’s strong leadership in advancing the Abraham Accords and supporting Israel without compromise. Gross argues that any ceasefire would only serve Hamas’ interests, putting Israel—and global stability—at even greater risk. Star Parker and her guests call for real action, urging viewers to pressure universities and government leaders to stop funding groups that promote anti-Semitic violence. This episode delivers a strong message: now is the time to defend Israel, protect our values, and demand accountability from weak leadership that is failing both America and its allies.

Defending Life Against the Party of Death
This week's episode of "CURE America with Star Parker" is hosted by Jonathan Alexandre, Senior Counsel for Governmental Affairs, stepping in for Star Parker to lead a timely discussion on the upcoming elections and the critical issue of abortion legislation. The episode highlights the clear distinction between the pro-life values of the Republican Party and the pro-abortion stance of the Democrat Party. Additionally, we take a close look at the vital role of crisis pregnancy centers, which provide compassionate support and real alternatives for women in need. The panel addresses the ongoing concern over government funding for abortion, the threat to conscience protections for healthcare providers who refuse to participate in abortions, and the importance of parental rights in protecting minors from both abortion procedures and the radical push by activists promoting genital mutilation in the form of so-called "sex changes." We also delve into the upcoming state-level referendums, such as those in Florida and Maryland, which could radically expand abortion access without limits. The discussion covers the harsh reality of late-term abortion in the U.S. and how the left is pushing for its acceptance far beyond what most Americans believe is reasonable. The panel also highlights the ongoing grassroots efforts to protect life and the increasing weaponization of government against pro-life advocates, along with attacks on the First Amendment rights of those who peacefully protest and pray outside abortion clinics. Joining Jonathan Alexandre are: - Kristen A. Ullman, President of Eagle Forum - Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government - Marty Dannenfelser, Vice President of Governmental Relations and Coalitions at CURE - Jamie Dangers, Director of Federal Affairs at Susan B.

Educational Choice: It’s time!

Educational Choice: It’s time!
Is it time for parents to get their children out of government run schools that teach them values that are the contrary to what is taught at home? This is the hot topic that is raging across the country that we discuss on this week’s episode of CURE America with Star Parker. Ninety percent of the nation’s K-12 students attend public schools. Over the last years, as parents became more aware of what is being taught to their children, a new movement has been awakened and parents are not only challenging what is being taught to their children, but are looking for policy solutions that would allow money to follow children to the school’s parents want. Whether it is Critical Race Theory, transgenderism and sex education, or other value systems that contradict traditional values on race, marriage, family and life, the union-controlled education system is being challenged. In this episode, we learn from our special guest, Corey DeAngelis of the American Federation for Children and our panelists Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Counsel Action, Terry Jeffrey of CNSNews.com and Andrew Handel of the American Legislative Exchange Council, that there are alternatives to public schools. This year, four states have already passed Education Savings Accounts and many more are considering options for dollars to fund students, not systems. Yes, it is past time for parents to take full responsibility for their children’s future - and demand that they have the freedom and the money to select a school for their child that teaches their values and worldview, the school of their choice.

Parents Fight Back: Standing Against State-Driven Indoctrination
This episode of CURE America with Star Parker is brought back to you to highlight the critical importance of school choice, emphasizing that parents should have the freedom to choose the school that aligns with their values. After all, it’s their children, not the government’s children. Is it time for parents to get their children out of government-run schools that indoctrinate our kids? This is the pressing issue we discussed in this week’s episode. Currently, ninety percent of the nation’s K-12 students attend public schools. As parents increasingly recognize the harmful influences in public schools—such as the sexualization of children, promotion of fake Critical Race Theory, socialist indoctrination, and erosion of parental rights—a strong movement is emerging. These parents are not just pushing back against the radical agenda in the classroom but are also demanding policy changes that ensure funding follows their children to schools that align with their values. The success of charter schools and private schools stems from the same principle that drives the success of private universities—students choose them because they are not forced into them by the zip code that would otherwise define their destiny. Whether it’s Critical Race Theory, transgenderism and sex education, or other educational approaches that some parents believe contradict their values on family and life, the union-controlled education system is facing significant challenges. In this episode, we hear from our special guest, Corey DeAngelis of the American Federation for Children, along with our panelists Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Counsel Action, Terry Jeffrey of CNSNews.com, and Andrew Handel of the American Legislative Exchange Council. They discuss the alternatives to public schools and highlight the growing trend toward Education Savings Accounts, with four states having already passed such measures this year and many more considering options to fund students, not systems.

African Nations Stand Strong Against Biden's Abortion Push

African Nations Stand Strong Against Biden's Abortion Push
This week on CURE America with Star Parker, we bring you a show we aired during the beginnings of the Biden Administration. Even though Biden aggressively pushed for abortions across Africa, many African nations stood strong against this pressure and enacted laws to prevent the spread of abortion in their countries. CURE did its part in helping these courageous leaders and communities protect life and reject the imposition of foreign values. These nations took decisive actions to reinforce their restrictive abortion laws, resisting external pressures, including those from the Biden Administration. In 2021 and 2022, countries like Malawi (2021), Ghana (2021), Zambia (2021), Kenya (2021), Tanzania (2021), Nigeria (2021), Uganda (2021), Ethiopia (2021), and South Sudan (2022) stood firm in their commitment to protecting life. In this episode, I have incredible video to show you of some very courageous women and men in Africa who are appealing to the Biden Administration to turn off the abortion promotion spigot. The truth behind the abortion expansion plan, driven by organizations like the Gates Foundation and the Biden Administration, is deeply troubling. Their target? Our world’s poor and uneducated, imposing their so-called 'enlightened' and elite views on whether these communities should be having children. What’s their reasoning? They claim it’s good for the environment and will help alleviate climate change. Worse, they argue it’s good for the poor, suggesting that their children are better off dead than being born into poverty. Join us for this important discussion on the promotion of abortion in Africa with my panel and two professional friends, as we seek answers to these extremely alarming questions. Guests include Ryan Bomberger, founder of The Radiance Foundation, Rebecca Oas, Ph.D., Director of Research for the Center for Family and Human Rights, and Mary Szoch, Director of the Center for Human Dignity at Family Research Council.

Presidential Debate Knockout: Trump 1, Biden 0
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.
