More than fifty years after the Civil Rights movement and nearly 160 years after the Civil War, racial tension in the country is at an all-time high. Riots, police reform and racial equity are all topics of national debate. Syndicated columnist and author of four books analyzing government impact on poverty in our urban communities, Star Parker, delves deep into national issues that impact America's most distressed communities and the power and political will needed to fix them. This is a podcast of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, a non-profit think tank fighting poverty and restoring dignity through scholarship supporting faith, freedom, and personal responsibility. 政治・政府 政治学 社会科学

  • They Wanted an Abortion. McKenna Named Him Gabriel.

    They Wanted an Abortion. McKenna Named Him Gabriel.
    2026/08/29
    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 difference between welcoming a baby and ordering one. Snow brings the older claim: family is not a lifestyle accessory. It is the first institution God made, and no people stay whole once children become inventory. At the center is McKenna West, a cardiac nurse hired to carry a child for a couple in Los Angeles. When the baby is diagnosed with a severe heart defect, the intended parents want the pregnancy ended. West will not. She takes the child to Texas, where surgeons can treat him and the law still treats him as alive. Gabriel is born. Live Action, Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Erik Baptist, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stand between a contract and a killing. The episode does not present this as a curiosity. It presents it as the logic of commodification, followed all the way to the edge. Later, Wiltz leaves and Marty Dannenfelser of CURE joins Alexandre and Snow. The same moral problem moves into policy: whether families can reach scholarship aid without waiting on a governor's permission, and whether Congress will keep delaying limits on high-THC hemp products already sold like snacks and already sending people to emergency rooms. The argument is not that government can heal a culture. It is that a culture which will not name a child as a gift will medicate everything else and call the result freedom. Watch if you want the unvarnished case against buying and selling parenthood—and a close that refuses despair. A child is not a line item. The family, the church, and a people still able to petition their government remain older, and stronger, than the market that learned how to price a life. We'll see you next week on CURE America.

  • Title IX and the Erasure of Women

    Title IX and the Erasure of Women
    2026/08/22
    Hosted by Jonathan Alexandre, this episode of CURE America features Torrey Snow, National Clergy Director at the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), and Marty Dannenfelser, Vice President for Government Relations and Coalitions at CURE. In a candid and substantive conversation recorded during the August recess in Washington, D.C., the three examine the simple biological realities of male and female and why those realities continue to surface in national news and policy debates. They reject the language and premises of transgender ideology, tracing its roots to a long-standing cultural and spiritual rejection of biblical design for humanity, the family, and human identity. The discussion underscores that when society treats subjective feelings as authoritative over objective biology, women and children lose critical protections in spaces, sports, scholarships, and educational opportunities originally secured by measures such as Title IX. Marty draws on decades of Capitol Hill experience to explain how Title IX was crafted to expand opportunities for women and how later reinterpretations—accelerating during the Obama years after the legalization of same-sex marriage—opened the door to policies that undermine those very protections. Torrey frames the issue theologically, arguing that the current cultural moment is the culmination of a centuries-long struggle against God's design, in which individuals claim the authority to redefine reality and demand affirmation from others. The conversation also addresses the broader societal cost of eroding accountability. The guests highlight the historic role of the church, pastors, and strong families in holding leaders and citizens responsible for their private and public conduct—an accountability that has weakened in an increasingly secular culture. They contend that restoring clear biblical standards in individual lives, family life, and civic leadership is essential to governing well and protecting the vulnerable. Jonathan closes by emphasizing the practical implications: electing leaders who will uphold biological truth and scriptural principles, supporting clergy networks that call people to integrity, and refusing to cede language or policy ground to ideologies that deny the created order. This episode offers a clear, faith-rooted analysis of one of the most contested cultural questions of our time, connecting theology, history, policy, and the everyday need for accountability in American life.

  • Who Must Confront the Socialist Surge?

    Who Must Confront the Socialist Surge?
    2026/08/18
    "CURE America" examines three defining challenges: the expanding influence of democratic socialism, the erosion of academic standards in elite public education, and the contested meaning of housing affordability. Today's conversation is hosted by Torrey Snow, National Clergy Director of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE). Joining him are Delano Squires of the Heritage Foundation and Jonathan Alexander, Vice President for Governmental Affairs at Liberty Counsel. The discussion opens with Star Parker's column and the question of who must confront the rise of Democratic Socialists. Snow, Squires, and Alexandre explore tensions within the progressive left, the risks of allowing the far-left wing to set the agenda, and the failure of socialist policies. They also address the role of religion, noting how the decline of biblical formation has left a void filled by partisan politics, and call on pastors to equip congregations with a clear framework for citizenship and personal agency. Turning to education, the panel confronts the fact that only three Black students received offers to Stuyvesant High School. They reject efforts to eliminate or dilute the entrance exam and instead urge civil-society solutions—intensive preparation programs led by organizations such as the National Society of Black Engineers and the National Urban League—while stressing the primacy of family and high expectations. On housing policy, the guests distinguish between a human need and a governmental entitlement, contrasting demand-side interventions with supply-side reforms that reduce regulatory barriers. They affirm that a working person should reasonably be able to secure stable housing, while insisting government's role is to remove obstacles rather than guarantee outcomes.
