  • Reviving the American Dream

    Reviving the American Dream
    Nov 29 2024
    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

    Illegals at the Ballot Box: What You Need to Know
    Nov 1 2024
    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. This is CURE America with Star Parker—where we sort through the news to find some truth.
