The Republican Zone is brought to youby Drew Murray. Good afternoon, you're
watching USSELA Media and the Republican Zone. I am your host, Drew Murray.
I am here with my good friend, Miss Sheila Armstrong, the Republican
Award Leader of the fourteenth Award.Yes, how you doing good? How
(00:29):
are you? I? I hadyou on my show a few years ago.
I need pre pandemic. Yes,that was the first time I had
John. Yeah. Um, andyou weren't even award leader yet, were
you know? I was an awardnow you were? You were involved and
I was involved in the party.Yes, I was. I was being
mentor under Daphne. Okay at thattime, you know miss Yes we do,
(00:50):
we really do. And um uhright before she passed. That's when
I became award leader and was Daphnelon the show that day? I forgot
it was you, Carnal Pump,and I forgot who it was Leonard?
It was Lenard to it was yes, yeah, so yeah, I know
I remember that. Yeah, youguys showed up with a team. Yeah.
And it was the first the firsttime I met Prince Have you never
(01:11):
met Prince you? Yes, he'sa he's he's a memorable character. Prince
makes me laugh. Yes, youknow, he's definitely a character. I
said before, I said how Ilike Council President Clark, And Prince was
like, looked at I swear god, he like stopped the show, was
like, what do you mean,President Clark. I'm like, he's a
friend, he's right, council personhe is, said he does great for
(01:32):
my neighborhood. But yeah, Prince, I thought, you know, he
almost jumped out of his skin.Yeah. But and I still like the
council President. He's pretty moderates.He's a Democrat, but he's you know,
we live in a Democrats city.Yeah, so being in the Democrats
city, we got to learn howto get along. Okay, that's where
I'm I'm very big one. Itell people me being a Republican in Philadelphia,
(01:55):
I focus on looking for the purplesolution, a solution that both parties
can come along. And I alwaystell for you they were like, well
where purple come from? I stillare rhythm bluemakes purple, you know,
So that's why I've come to apurple solution. We gotta live in this
city together, we gotta so yougotta work with and at the end of
the day, he's our council president, you know, so we have to
(02:16):
work with him and get the thingsdone that we need for our community.
Regardless of who's in charge, justget bleep done. That's what I say.
Yes, I mean, if you'reif you're in it, like I'm
running for city council obviously, ifyou're in it to make the city better,
you just want to get stuff done. And that's honestly it, that
is truly it. Then that's wherethat's what I realize working this work,
(02:39):
how I characterize the people I workwith. I try to surround my people
myself with people that understand this isheart work. So if because this is
heartwork, don't look for the bigpaycheck. Yeah, you may not get
paid off of this, you maynot even be recognized off of this,
okay, but best believed the communityand the world that we're doing, they
(03:00):
appreciate it, and they see it, and we see the changes slowly coming
to law and as word leaders.Yes, we're trying to get Republicans elected,
but at the same time, we'rejust trying to make our community and
our individual award. We're trying tomake that better. And if that means
working with Democrats, then that shouldbe the ultimate goal no matter what is,
it's making your community safer. AndI always say, Democrats and Republicans
(03:22):
we want the same things. Wewant better education for our children, we
want safer streets, we want betterjobs for the community. You know,
it's just we just have different webelieve in different paths to get there,
but we all want the same thing. At the end. Of course,
maybe there's some people and maybe theworking Bamilies party who might want a little
maybe not the exact same thing.So if you want but you know,
(03:43):
strame side of the Democrat Party,yes, you know. So with that
being said, because they want anextreme side, I'm just very careful of
all these nuances that feel as thoughthey got to create something new, you
know. And I said before,everybody want to create something new instead of
take a time to fix what isbroken. Exactly okay, because you created
(04:03):
something new, but if you wouldn'tnever fix what was broken in the first
place, what you like, I'ma woman of Christ, so that's why
we're in my believed shirt and stufftoday and then say we gotta believe,
all right, So because I'm abeliever. We have to fix the problems.
Is how gods sit there and tellus we can't pitt new wine in
old wand skin, okay, becauseit can't handle it all right, So
(04:24):
we gotta fix the problems and theissues that we're working with, and we
gotta work with both the parties,all the parties here, but the Working
Family Party. I find that veryextreme. And what I don't like about
them is the fact that I seethem villainize people for thinking differently from them.
To me, they are very communistic, okay, and very dictatorship.
(04:46):
It's like, think their way,do their way, and if you don't
do what they want to do,oh now they're ready to attack you.
They sit there and villainize you.They want to sit there and do negative
press against you, take your conversations, the words all out of play.
And that is not the America thatI support or the foundation that I was
raised off as a black woman inAmerica, you know. So that's one
(05:09):
thing they espoused diversity, but theydon't want any diverse opinions. And that's
exactly it. So this is whyI'm very like I tell people, you
know, don't be equipped to jumpon the bad wagon or something new because
of the fact that you might betrying to be a part of something that
is as I tell people, youmight be signing on in something that can
be sending you to eternal damnation.Then you don't even know it, you
(05:31):
know. So and this is agreat opportunity. I want to say thank
you for having me on your showbecause as you know, and I was
just want to make sure all yourpeople know. Everybody that's here know that
Drew Murray has been a partner communitypartner of Cooking for Autism since we started
two years ago. Okay, Aprilis autism and wearing this mouth. And

Hospital okay, autism research where itwas a virtual program. Okay, so
now children Hospital have a virtual programwhere children with autism can interact with police,

(07:45):
train them okay on how they interactwith them. And it also does it's
probably for both the police and andit's for the police because they need the

Um, I'm looking forward to.Uh, the Saint Joseph's Prep have
a Black Alumni Association an event comingup, the Black New or or something
(11:20):
like that, and I'm going togo to the event. And it's in

how that the Mother's Club. Iwas like, so, I'm I'm really
excited. My family is excited aboutthis next journey of going to Saint Joseph's
Prep and just being a great experience. And you'll be part of a call,
yeah in a good way. Yeah, Like look, we is a
(11:43):
call, like look, we're Christians. Okay, so Christian because you know,
somebody sat there and told me thatwe and not. I was like,
oh, I'm a Christian. Therewas like, oh you you're part
of a cult. And I said, oh Christian. Do you think of
Christianity as a call? I waslike oh, And it put me off
guard because I was like, well, I say, Colt and the Prep
(12:03):
in a good way. An eventlast night in South build I'll be the
South Philly Business Association dinner. Iknew there were prep guys in the audience,
so I talked about the prep andI'm sure enough, and I talked
to my dad, talked the prepfor fifty years, so I sure enough,
I knew not only were the preppeople, there were prep people who
would know my dad. So Isaid, I said my dad and my
(12:24):
dad talked there for fifty years.And sure enough, two guys right afterwards.
One guy played my dad coach soccer, so came up and said,
I played soccer for your dad innineteen seventy seven. And then another guy
came up and said, my brotherplayed soccer for your dad in seventy four.
I was born in seventy two,so I don't remember them, but
now so in a good way.It is it's a brotherhood and and but
(12:46):
the whole family gets brought in.That's the mother's club aspect. Yes,
the Mother's I love about it.It really brings in ask as the whole
family. And that's very big thatI'm very big one of the family.
And this is also a great trainposition on what I have been doing with
the black family. Okay, everybodyknow with me being a Black Republican,
(13:07):
and I tell people I always focuson the black issues first because I'm Black.
Okay, no disrespect to know allthe culture or nothing like that.
It's just how I was born andraised. So with that being said,
this month, I was just recentlynamed the chapter president of the Pennsylvania chapter
of the Black Conservative Federation organization.This is a national organization with chapters all
(13:28):
across the country and it was justmy honor that um I was surprised to
be selected. And I'm also madehistory because I am the first woman president
for yes, the Black Conservative Federation. Congratulations, yes, well, thank
you very much. And then alsoas we talk about family stuff, um
I also as of and I canannounce it now because I couldn't announce it
(13:52):
before. Okay, as of theclose up business today, I will be
the Philadelphia Chapter president for Moms forLiberty. Oh wow, okay, yes
so. And Mons for Liberty isanother national organization that focus on parents' rights
around education. And I do alot of education work, especially with cooking
(14:15):
for autism, advocate it for familyspecial needs parents understanding their rights under the
law, you know, and Ialways tell people you gotta advocate for your
child's education, because at the endof the day, these schools and these
institutions wouldn't even be around if itwasn't for our kids and our children.
So you gotta understand your rights,and you gotta be a voice for your
child, you know. And thenyou also gotta be evolved because you gotta
(14:37):
know what's going on in school writingnow, what is going on? And
we're not I believe in freedom ofspeech. We are Republicans, so we
believe in our civil liberties. Okay, everybody have a freedom of speech.
What I do not believe with ourfreedom of speech is pitting it on our
children at our early age. Okay. So one of the things that we're
(14:58):
working on with Minds for Liberty isbanning certain books that is very crucial topics
in our children's school Okay. Forinstance, one topic that we're very concerned
about one book that is in thelibrary. It's called Ginger Queer okay,
and it literally tells the children howto do things in the LGBT community,
(15:20):
okay, And those topics is reallyI feel as though, while we want
to expose our children to be opento people in them communities and respect those
people in the communities. I feelas though it should be the parents' job
to talk to the child about it, okay, because when the world comes
at the children, it's a lotfor a child. It's a lot to
(15:43):
take in, you know. Iremember when I had to have the first
conversation with my son about how oneof his friends and his class from have
two mommies, you know, andhow do you talk to your child?
Well, mom, he got twomommies. How you got two mommies?
And I'm like, well, whenpeople love that just love, you know
that's what That's how you love.You can't determine who you love, how
(16:07):
you love. Love is love,you know what I mean. So that's
how he got two mommies. Andthen he was like, well how he
gets bored because two mommies can't havesex. I'm like, oh, good,
Lord's son, now here we go. So and you know how kids
are because and he was only sevenat this time, you know what I
mean. So and then it's like, as a parent, you gotta be
(16:29):
prepared for these topics and you justnever know. Okay. So one thing
I want to be careful of andbe cautious of is where we have these
books in schools. It's good tohave these education books in schools, but
be careful on how in depth someof these books go at these age Like
one of these books that I actuallyseen and couldn't believe that was actually in
(16:49):
the book, it actually talked abouta woman using a prostitius to have sex,
you know, and and I waslike, I was surprised to see
that in a children's book. Iwould be surprised there are age appropriate books.
And that's that's where my biggest concern. That's exactly what it is,
(17:15):
and that's where we want to becareful. And that's exactly it's what's the
age appropriate should be from a parentperspective. And this is why the parents
voice is supported, Okay, becauseat the end of the day, your
child might be being is being exposedto stuff that you, as a parent
didn't even know. Um like anotherthing that's going on that's a hot topic,
(17:37):
and a lot of these hot topicsthat is happening in the education I
tell people, I don't see itin Philly because Philly we're different. Philly,
we are ready it's really a Phillythat it really is Philly. I
tell people, Philly we are inclusive. Are ready. We already got phase
of place and systems in place tobe inclusive, you know, so we
(18:02):
already have. You know, onething the school District of Philadelphia have already
is a curriculum in place to talkabout these things. You know, we
already start working the inclusion. Thesame thing when Philadelphia is a sanctuary city.
Okay, so we already know wedealing with inclusion. How to deal
with immigrants, how to deal withyou know, migrants or people citizens with
no work and page. One ofthe reasons I moved to Philadelphia. I
(18:25):
grew up in Villanova. I said, there was there was no diversity.
Okay, I said, my onlyneighbor who lived in Villanova who was a
person of color was doctor Jack.But that's not even that, right,
So I said, I want Idon't want to have to teach my kids
diversity. I want them to livediversity. So now I live in Center
City. I'm not gonna say it'sit's you know, it's way more diverse
(18:45):
than Villanova. It's not extremely diverse, but right, But that was one
of the reasons I said I wantto. I want to. I want
my kids to grow up with withpeople you know around people don't necessarily look
or you know, look like themor believe the same things. I mean,
you know, I mean I grewI thought everyone was Catholic when I
was. When I was, ifI was seven years old, I was
like, I thought, this isn'teveryone Catholic? Okay? Even that right
(19:06):
exactly? I mean even if myneighbors, and I know my neighbors they
were Christians, they were Jewish.I mean, I you know, but
I assumed everyone around me was wasCatholics because I went to a Catholic school.
I was the Mass and then andso I just I didn't remember when
I was in like fourth fifth grade, but I thought, I assume most
how did you you're not Catholic?I'm like, wow, okay, yeah,
but uh so, no, Iliked to diverse in and now I
(19:29):
live in a in a mixed faithhousehold. My wife is Jewish and and
I'm Catholic. My my children areCatholic. And you know why my children
are Catholic? You always ever tellyou that story. On our second date,
I told my wife, I said, my children will be Catholic because
they'll be attending Saint jose Prop.Because my boys will be attending Saint Joseph.
Right, Okay, I have twodaughters who who attend Saint Joseph's rev
(19:51):
but they're still baptized. They were, and so he'd be always tell me
like, well, it comes fromthe religion, comes from the mother.
I'm like, I said, thereligion is a faith in a belief.
It's not. Yeah, it's Isaid, they're baptized. And every month
second, my wife thought I wascrazy. And at the time, my
girlfriend she was like, like Iwas a nut. She was like,
why are you telling me this onour second date? I said, because
(20:14):
I had to get it out ofthe way. We did no going in
and I said, you just didn'trealize how charming I was. I said,
we're gonna I said, yeah,you thought I was crazy. And
then and then, you know,six months later we were talking about getting
married. So oh wow, butit is important to talk about that before
a lot of people are like theyget married, like, oh, what
are we gonna raise their child?We knew yeah, and I'm and grant
(20:37):
my wife was not. You know, I would type a person who went
to mass every every every Sunday growingup, and uh, in my twenties,
I didn't go as much, butnow we go every Sunday. Now,
my wife was she had practiced Jewishfaith as much as I practiced the
cap so but yeah, going init was like, yeah, yeah,
we knew exactly what our children weregonna be. But God, God had
(20:59):
a different plan. I will nothave any any son in Saint Joseph's breath.
And you know, that was different. Um. And that's the first
time I haven't heard the saying thatthe mother determines the faith. Yeah,
okay, because it might be justJudaism, but yeah, because that's the
first time I ever heard that becausein my family and in the Black family,
it was always the man and thefather determined faith. Okay, you
(21:21):
know. So with that being said, you know, and then so Christianity
was for us, you know.And it was so funny because my family
is half Christian, half Muslim okay, okay. And it was so funny
because this is this is the highholy holidays as I always call them,
because if you notice, every faithcelebrate in this timeframe, Jewish time has
(21:41):
passed over going on. You know, we got Easter and everything, and
then they going through Ramadan and stufflike that. So one thing I say,
is I'm a believer. First,It's only one guy. At the
end of the day. You know, we all believe as believers. We
all got on different ways of reachingthe God, you know what I mean.
(22:03):
I'm a Christian. I practice Christianityalso too, so I believe that
Jesus died on the Cross from mysins and roles again, you know,
and that's my way into getting inheaven. You know. But as I
sit there and tell people, Ifirst push an encouragement. And what I
encourage is a relationship with God.Okay, focals on the for some so
many people I come across, it'sso hopeless that they can't even see a
(22:27):
guy or believe a God because they'regoing through so much bad stuff, you
know. So I just try topush the hope that can you just see
a God, that there is aGod. Once we can get past Okay,
is there's a guy, then let'sgo over there, you know.
So that's why I do because mymission, and I tell people, my
mission as faith is one to knowJesus, okay, and then to make
(22:51):
Jesus known. No thank you,and none of something knew? And when
did you start six months it's almosta year. It's almost a year.
It's almost a year now. Andmatter of fact, uh, it was
March of last year, right beforeEaster, was when uh my pastor at
(23:15):
that time, God bless Us Soannounced from the pulpit that I was going
to be hitting his next minister intraining. Did you know that? No,
sold you? Yes? And Isaid it was so funny because we
was having one I'm prophesizing moments atthe church and I tell people that's when
the Holy Holy Spirit take over andwe just let the spirit go. So
(23:37):
he was prophesizing from the pulpit andsitting and then he said, yeah,
you, sister Armstrong, you mynext minister in the train. I was
like, whoa, whoa what wait? Wait? And then he turned to
the congregation said, have y'all gotany issues with minister Armstrong, come to
me. Don't go to her,okay, because she's not that type of
(24:00):
minister. Okay, she's going tobe and which he's amit. I'm a
truth telling minister, Okay, I'mjust going to tell you the truth.
What I'm learning is how to softenup how I tell you the truth?
You know, um, instead ofsitting up there and I tell people I
came a very long way, allright from this and learning how being a
(24:21):
compassion with my words. Because somebodywould give me an idea, I'm like,
that's a dumbass, excuse my language. That's a dumba ass idea.
Why would you think that you knowwhat I mean? You said, dumb
ass? You my language? Andthen you should ask again. But that's
why I was just excuse me.I'm working, Like I said, I'm
a real minister in training now I'ma real one. And how long does
it take for you to become aminister, like a full time manister?
(24:44):
Oh? Well, I got it. It's it's a three year project.
It's three years, okay. Thefirst year is literally me sitting under and
learning all the rules, the rituals, getting in place, like you know,
my biggest thing right now is CommunionSundays and Baptist Okay, learning the
different rituals and making sure I showup and my all white and make sure
(25:07):
I'll wear my white skirt all theway down to my ankles or pass my
knees, and what type of congregationit is? So it's not Catholic,
Yes, it's Christian? Is manthe Church of God a Christ kojikay okay
and um, and I explain topeople something like of people like well what
koji I say, think of likeProtestant a little bit, you know how,
(25:29):
because we believe in speaking in tongues, the dance, things of that
nature. I'm not gifted in noneof those. Um. I'm a truth
teller, okay. So that's whatmy gift is. And I'm a seer.
That's what my gift is, whichis and I knew it, but
it's now different to understand it mygift now. So as a seer,
God gives me a gift of seeingthings, situations, systems. So this
(25:52):
is why it's so easy for meto go into a place and learn the
system. Okay. So that's whyI always been good at even that's what
my master's degree is in, youknow, working on projects, managements,
helping with development and stuff like that, because it's easy for me to see
a system, see how things operate, see what the problem is, and
handle that. So that is onwhat I am. Um that with the
(26:18):
see your capacity. The one thingI don't care what this gift is because
you get to see things in thefuture, but you never know the time
frame when it comes. So yeah, it's like a profit. Okay,
but I won't take this. Iwon't take that tight or not yet ever
because for a profit is more deeperto me. Okay, you know,
(26:41):
that's a whole deeper thing um asa profit, you know. So do
you see me winning in November?I don't see stuff like that to say,
just sit right now, okay,and I won't lie talking to the
spirit. That's what I said,all right. But what I do see,
okay, I see you being victoriousover May seventeenth in the primary.
(27:06):
Okay, okay, that's what Ido. Say, celebrated victory. That's
what I said. Yeah, okay, that's where we will be celebrated November.
I gotta get through. Remember,you can't see that. I can't
see that for I'm not allowed.And then the other visions that he showed
me is like years like for instance, um, I saw my church before
(27:30):
I even went in my church.Oh okay, you know, and then
when I went in the church,that's when God brought back all these visions
I had. That that's where myassalment is. Okay. So stuff like
that that he shows me, youknow, like I see Schylar's restaurant already.
Yeah, and we don't even knowwhere it's a man or anything,
but I already saw it. Soit's Skylar is twenty one and he'd be
(27:53):
twenty two this year August the tenth. Yes, he will, he will
have his restaurant. I know that. Oh yes, So where do you
think Philly? North Philly? Yeah, is North Philly. And the reason
why I said I saw it becauseand and it was so funny when we've
seen the church, that's when Iseen the restaurant. Okay, so it
(28:14):
was a restaurant that is closed rightacross the street from the church. There
you go, like you think acatering type of place. Who are a
pure restaurant, sit down, sitdown restaurant. So I'll be there the
first night, y'all. Yes,so you have to be Oh you gotta
be you v IP. Yes,No, but you are. I'm just
letting you know because we appreciate youin our family and I always tell so

You can say, I don't thinkI'm allowed. All right, all right,
okay, all right, So justso y'all know. Drew has been
a partner to cook It for autism. He has been a friend to the
black community forever. Okay, Sofor these reasons, I introduced Drew.
When he comes to our events andstuff like that, I tell people they
(28:57):
were like Drew most of the time, is the only white man that comes
to her, that is in theroom, the only white man. And
you know, black people get isuneasy sometimes when they see white people.
So I would sit there and say, I said, oh, don't worry
about Drew. He ain't white,He just light skinning. Okay. So
when y'all see Drew and North Philly, when y'all see Drew, with me,
(29:19):

on USULA Media. Alright, alright, look, okay, Drew Murray
The Republican Zone is brought to youby Drew Murray. Good afternoon, you're
watching USSELA Media and the Republican Zone. I am your host, Drew Murray.
I am here with my good friend, Miss Sheila Armstrong, the Republican
Award Leader of the fourteenth Award.Yes, how you doing good? How
(00:29):
are you? I? I hadyou on my show a few years ago.
I need pre pandemic. Yes,that was the first time I had
John. Yeah. Um, andyou weren't even award leader yet, were
you know? I was an awardnow you were? You were involved and
I was involved in the party.Yes, I was. I was being
mentor under Daphne. Okay at thattime, you know miss Yes we do,
(00:50):
we really do. And um uhright before she passed. That's when
I became award leader and was Daphnelon the show that day? I forgot
it was you, Carnal Pump,and I forgot who it was Leonard?
It was Lenard to it was yes, yeah, so yeah, I know
I remember that. Yeah, youguys showed up with a team. Yeah.
And it was the first the firsttime I met Prince Have you never
(01:11):
met Prince you? Yes, he'sa he's he's a memorable character. Prince
makes me laugh. Yes, youknow, he's definitely a character. I
said before, I said how Ilike Council President Clark, And Prince was
like, looked at I swear god, he like stopped the show, was
like, what do you mean,President Clark. I'm like, he's a
friend, he's right, council personhe is, said he does great for
(01:32):
my neighborhood. But yeah, Prince, I thought, you know, he
almost jumped out of his skin.Yeah. But and I still like the
council President. He's pretty moderates.He's a Democrat, but he's you know,
we live in a Democrats city.Yeah, so being in the Democrats
city, we got to learn howto get along. Okay, that's where
I'm I'm very big one. Itell people me being a Republican in Philadelphia,
(01:55):
I focus on looking for the purplesolution, a solution that both parties
can come along. And I alwaystell for you they were like, well
where purple come from? I stillare rhythm bluemakes purple, you know,
So that's why I've come to apurple solution. We gotta live in this
city together, we gotta so yougotta work with and at the end of
the day, he's our council president, you know, so we have to
(02:16):
work with him and get the thingsdone that we need for our community.
Regardless of who's in charge, justget bleep done. That's what I say.
Yes, I mean, if you'reif you're in it, like I'm
running for city council obviously, ifyou're in it to make the city better,
you just want to get stuff done. And that's honestly it, that
is truly it. Then that's wherethat's what I realize working this work,
(02:39):
how I characterize the people I workwith. I try to surround my people
myself with people that understand this isheart work. So if because this is
heartwork, don't look for the bigpaycheck. Yeah, you may not get
paid off of this, you maynot even be recognized off of this,
okay, but best believed the communityand the world that we're doing, they
(03:00):
appreciate it, and they see it, and we see the changes slowly coming
to law and as word leaders.Yes, we're trying to get Republicans elected,
but at the same time, we'rejust trying to make our community and
our individual award. We're trying tomake that better. And if that means
working with Democrats, then that shouldbe the ultimate goal no matter what is,
it's making your community safer. AndI always say, Democrats and Republicans
(03:22):
we want the same things. Wewant better education for our children, we
want safer streets, we want betterjobs for the community. You know,
it's just we just have different webelieve in different paths to get there,
but we all want the same thing. At the end. Of course,
maybe there's some people and maybe theworking Bamilies party who might want a little
maybe not the exact same thing.So if you want but you know,
(03:43):
strame side of the Democrat Party,yes, you know. So with that
being said, because they want anextreme side, I'm just very careful of
all these nuances that feel as thoughthey got to create something new, you
know. And I said before,everybody want to create something new instead of
take a time to fix what isbroken. Exactly okay, because you created
(04:03):
something new, but if you wouldn'tnever fix what was broken in the first
place, what you like, I'ma woman of Christ, so that's why
we're in my believed shirt and stufftoday and then say we gotta believe,
all right, So because I'm abeliever. We have to fix the problems.
Is how gods sit there and tellus we can't pitt new wine in
old wand skin, okay, becauseit can't handle it all right, So
(04:24):
we gotta fix the problems and theissues that we're working with, and we
gotta work with both the parties,all the parties here, but the Working
Family Party. I find that veryextreme. And what I don't like about
them is the fact that I seethem villainize people for thinking differently from them.
To me, they are very communistic, okay, and very dictatorship.
(04:46):
It's like, think their way,do their way, and if you don't
do what they want to do,oh now they're ready to attack you.
They sit there and villainize you.They want to sit there and do negative
press against you, take your conversations, the words all out of play.
And that is not the America thatI support or the foundation that I was
raised off as a black woman inAmerica, you know. So that's one
(05:09):
thing they espoused diversity, but theydon't want any diverse opinions. And that's
exactly it. So this is whyI'm very like I tell people, you
know, don't be equipped to jumpon the bad wagon or something new because
of the fact that you might betrying to be a part of something that
is as I tell people, youmight be signing on in something that can
be sending you to eternal damnation.Then you don't even know it, you
(05:31):
know. So and this is agreat opportunity. I want to say thank
you for having me on your showbecause as you know, and I was
just want to make sure all yourpeople know. Everybody that's here know that
Drew Murray has been a partner communitypartner of Cooking for Autism since we started

because uh As Skyler is very bigon could say you build the relationships with
(07:25):
the Philadelphia Police Department. Okay,Okay. We did a project with Children's
Hospital okay, autism research where itwas a virtual program. Okay, so
now children Hospital have a virtual programwhere children with autism can interact with police,
and it shows them how to interactthe piece with police and how to
(07:45):
train them okay on how they interactwith them. And it also does it's
probably for both the police and andit's for the police because they need the
experience. Yeah, so that's whyI'm so excited to say all this stuff
that it's going on that we're doing. So, yes, we're working with
the Philadelphia Police Department and training thePhiladelphia Police on how to recognize when somebody
(08:07):
might be with altism, might havean emotional attack or emotional distress where they're

they started their spring training for footballeverything. When I was at the prep,
they were not allowed to do that. They've changed the rules a lot,
(10:37):

you weren't allowed to play on thefootball team, where you couldn't dry for
the freshman football team until like thethird week of school. Now now they're

Um, I'm looking forward to.Uh, the Saint Joseph's Prep have

how that the Mother's Club. Iwas like, so, I'm I'm really
excited. My family is excited aboutthis next journey of going to Saint Joseph's
Prep and just being a great experience. And you'll be part of a call,
yeah in a good way. Yeah, Like look, we is a
(11:43):
call, like look, we're Christians. Okay, so Christian because you know,
somebody sat there and told me thatwe and not. I was like,
oh, I'm a Christian. Therewas like, oh you you're part
of a cult. And I said, oh Christian. Do you think of
Christianity as a call? I waslike oh, And it put me off
guard because I was like, well, I say, Colt and the Prep
(12:03):
in a good way. An eventlast night in South build I'll be the
South Philly Business Association dinner. Iknew there were prep guys in the audience,
so I talked about the prep andI'm sure enough, and I talked
to my dad, talked the prepfor fifty years, so I sure enough,
I knew not only were the preppeople, there were prep people who
would know my dad. So Isaid, I said my dad and my
(12:24):
dad talked there for fifty years.And sure enough, two guys right afterwards.
One guy played my dad coach soccer, so came up and said,
I played soccer for your dad innineteen seventy seven. And then another guy
came up and said, my brotherplayed soccer for your dad in seventy four.
I was born in seventy two,so I don't remember them, but
now so in a good way.It is it's a brotherhood and and but
(12:46):
the whole family gets brought in.That's the mother's club aspect. Yes,
the Mother's I love about it.It really brings in ask as the whole
family. And that's very big thatI'm very big one of the family.
And this is also a great trainposition on what I have been doing with
the black family. Okay, everybodyknow with me being a Black Republican,
(13:07):
and I tell people I always focuson the black issues first because I'm Black.
Okay, no disrespect to know allthe culture or nothing like that.
It's just how I was born andraised. So with that being said,
this month, I was just recentlynamed the chapter president of the Pennsylvania chapter
of the Black Conservative Federation organization.This is a national organization with chapters all
(13:28):
across the country and it was justmy honor that um I was surprised to
be selected. And I'm also madehistory because I am the first woman president
for yes, the Black Conservative Federation. Congratulations, yes, well, thank
you very much. And then alsoas we talk about family stuff, um
I also as of and I canannounce it now because I couldn't announce it
(13:52):
before. Okay, as of theclose up business today, I will be
the Philadelphia Chapter president for Moms forLiberty. Oh wow, okay, yes
so. And Mons for Liberty isanother national organization that focus on parents' rights
around education. And I do alot of education work, especially with cooking
(14:15):
for autism, advocate it for familyspecial needs parents understanding their rights under the
law, you know, and Ialways tell people you gotta advocate for your
child's education, because at the endof the day, these schools and these
institutions wouldn't even be around if itwasn't for our kids and our children.
So you gotta understand your rights,and you gotta be a voice for your
child, you know. And thenyou also gotta be evolved because you gotta
(14:37):
know what's going on in school writingnow, what is going on? And
we're not I believe in freedom ofspeech. We are Republicans, so we
believe in our civil liberties. Okay, everybody have a freedom of speech.
What I do not believe with ourfreedom of speech is pitting it on our
children at our early age. Okay. So one of the things that we're
(14:58):
working on with Minds for Liberty isbanning certain books that is very crucial topics
in our children's school Okay. Forinstance, one topic that we're very concerned
about one book that is in thelibrary. It's called Ginger Queer okay,
and it literally tells the children howto do things in the LGBT community,
(15:20):
okay, And those topics is reallyI feel as though, while we want
to expose our children to be opento people in them communities and respect those
people in the communities. I feelas though it should be the parents' job
to talk to the child about it, okay, because when the world comes
at the children, it's a lotfor a child. It's a lot to
(15:43):
take in, you know. Iremember when I had to have the first
conversation with my son about how oneof his friends and his class from have
two mommies, you know, andhow do you talk to your child?
Well, mom, he got twomommies. How you got two mommies?
And I'm like, well, whenpeople love that just love, you know
that's what That's how you love.You can't determine who you love, how
(16:07):
you love. Love is love,you know what I mean. So that's
how he got two mommies. Andthen he was like, well how he
gets bored because two mommies can't havesex. I'm like, oh, good,
Lord's son, now here we go. So and you know how kids
are because and he was only sevenat this time, you know what I
mean. So and then it's like, as a parent, you gotta be
(16:29):
prepared for these topics and you justnever know. Okay. So one thing
I want to be careful of andbe cautious of is where we have these
books in schools. It's good tohave these education books in schools, but
be careful on how in depth someof these books go at these age Like
one of these books that I actuallyseen and couldn't believe that was actually in
(16:49):
the book, it actually talked abouta woman using a prostitius to have sex,
you know, and and I waslike, I was surprised to see
that in a children's book. Iwould be surprised there are age appropriate books.
And that's that's where my biggest concern. That's exactly what it is,
(17:15):
and that's where we want to becareful. And that's exactly it's what's the
age appropriate should be from a parentperspective. And this is why the parents
voice is supported, Okay, becauseat the end of the day, your
child might be being is being exposedto stuff that you, as a parent
didn't even know. Um like anotherthing that's going on that's a hot topic,
(17:37):
and a lot of these hot topicsthat is happening in the education I
tell people, I don't see itin Philly because Philly we're different. Philly,
we are ready it's really a Phillythat it really is Philly. I
tell people, Philly we are inclusive. Are ready. We already got phase
of place and systems in place tobe inclusive, you know, so we
(18:02):
already have. You know, onething the school District of Philadelphia have already
is a curriculum in place to talkabout these things. You know, we
already start working the inclusion. Thesame thing when Philadelphia is a sanctuary city.
Okay, so we already know wedealing with inclusion. How to deal
with immigrants, how to deal withyou know, migrants or people citizens with
no work and page. One ofthe reasons I moved to Philadelphia. I
(18:25):
grew up in Villanova. I said, there was there was no diversity.
Okay, I said, my onlyneighbor who lived in Villanova who was a
person of color was doctor Jack.But that's not even that, right,
So I said, I want Idon't want to have to teach my kids
diversity. I want them to livediversity. So now I live in Center
City. I'm not gonna say it'sit's you know, it's way more diverse
(18:45):
than Villanova. It's not extremely diverse, but right, But that was one
of the reasons I said I wantto. I want to. I want
my kids to grow up with withpeople you know around people don't necessarily look
or you know, look like themor believe the same things. I mean,
you know, I mean I grewI thought everyone was Catholic when I
was. When I was, ifI was seven years old, I was
like, I thought, this isn'teveryone Catholic? Okay? Even that right
(19:06):
exactly? I mean even if myneighbors, and I know my neighbors they
were Christians, they were Jewish.I mean, I you know, but
I assumed everyone around me was wasCatholics because I went to a Catholic school.
I was the Mass and then andso I just I didn't remember when
I was in like fourth fifth grade, but I thought, I assume most
how did you you're not Catholic?I'm like, wow, okay, yeah,
but uh so, no, Iliked to diverse in and now I
(19:29):
live in a in a mixed faithhousehold. My wife is Jewish and and
I'm Catholic. My my children areCatholic. And you know why my children
are Catholic? You always ever tellyou that story. On our second date,
I told my wife, I said, my children will be Catholic because
they'll be attending Saint jose Prop.Because my boys will be attending Saint Joseph.
Right, Okay, I have twodaughters who who attend Saint Joseph's rev
(19:51):
but they're still baptized. They were, and so he'd be always tell me
like, well, it comes fromthe religion, comes from the mother.
I'm like, I said, thereligion is a faith in a belief.
It's not. Yeah, it's Isaid, they're baptized. And every month
second, my wife thought I wascrazy. And at the time, my
girlfriend she was like, like Iwas a nut. She was like,
why are you telling me this onour second date? I said, because
(20:14):
I had to get it out ofthe way. We did no going in
and I said, you just didn'trealize how charming I was. I said,
we're gonna I said, yeah,you thought I was crazy. And
then and then, you know,six months later we were talking about getting
married. So oh wow, butit is important to talk about that before
a lot of people are like theyget married, like, oh, what
are we gonna raise their child?We knew yeah, and I'm and grant
(20:37):
my wife was not. You know, I would type a person who went
to mass every every every Sunday growingup, and uh, in my twenties,
I didn't go as much, butnow we go every Sunday. Now,
my wife was she had practiced Jewishfaith as much as I practiced the
cap so but yeah, going init was like, yeah, yeah,
we knew exactly what our children weregonna be. But God, God had
(20:59):
a different plan. I will nothave any any son in Saint Joseph's breath.
And you know, that was different. Um. And that's the first
time I haven't heard the saying thatthe mother determines the faith. Yeah,
okay, because it might be justJudaism, but yeah, because that's the
first time I ever heard that becausein my family and in the Black family,
it was always the man and thefather determined faith. Okay, you
(21:21):
know. So with that being said, you know, and then so Christianity
was for us, you know.And it was so funny because my family
is half Christian, half Muslim okay, okay. And it was so funny
because this is this is the highholy holidays as I always call them,
because if you notice, every faithcelebrate in this timeframe, Jewish time has
(21:41):
passed over going on. You know, we got Easter and everything, and
then they going through Ramadan and stufflike that. So one thing I say,
is I'm a believer. First,It's only one guy. At the
end of the day. You know, we all believe as believers. We
all got on different ways of reachingthe God, you know what I mean.
(22:03):
I'm a Christian. I practice Christianityalso too, so I believe that
Jesus died on the Cross from mysins and roles again, you know,
and that's my way into getting inheaven. You know. But as I
sit there and tell people, Ifirst push an encouragement. And what I
encourage is a relationship with God.Okay, focals on the for some so
many people I come across, it'sso hopeless that they can't even see a
(22:27):
guy or believe a God because they'regoing through so much bad stuff, you
know. So I just try topush the hope that can you just see
a God, that there is aGod. Once we can get past Okay,
is there's a guy, then let'sgo over there, you know.
So that's why I do because mymission, and I tell people, my
mission as faith is one to knowJesus, okay, and then to make
(22:51):
Jesus known. No thank you,and none of something knew? And when
did you start six months it's almosta year. It's almost a year.
It's almost a year now. Andmatter of fact, uh, it was
March of last year, right beforeEaster, was when uh my pastor at
(23:15):
that time, God bless Us Soannounced from the pulpit that I was going
to be hitting his next minister intraining. Did you know that? No,
sold you? Yes? And Isaid it was so funny because we
was having one I'm prophesizing moments atthe church and I tell people that's when
the Holy Holy Spirit take over andwe just let the spirit go. So
(23:37):
he was prophesizing from the pulpit andsitting and then he said, yeah,
you, sister Armstrong, you mynext minister in the train. I was
like, whoa, whoa what wait? Wait? And then he turned to
the congregation said, have y'all gotany issues with minister Armstrong, come to
me. Don't go to her,okay, because she's not that type of
(24:00):
minister. Okay, she's going tobe and which he's amit. I'm a
truth telling minister, Okay, I'mjust going to tell you the truth.
What I'm learning is how to softenup how I tell you the truth?
You know, um, instead ofsitting up there and I tell people I
came a very long way, allright from this and learning how being a
(24:21):
compassion with my words. Because somebodywould give me an idea, I'm like,
that's a dumbass, excuse my language. That's a dumba ass idea.
Why would you think that you knowwhat I mean? You said, dumb
ass? You my language? Andthen you should ask again. But that's
why I was just excuse me.I'm working, Like I said, I'm
a real minister in training now I'ma real one. And how long does
it take for you to become aminister, like a full time manister?
(24:44):
Oh? Well, I got it. It's it's a three year project.
It's three years, okay. Thefirst year is literally me sitting under and
learning all the rules, the rituals, getting in place, like you know,
my biggest thing right now is CommunionSundays and Baptist Okay, learning the
different rituals and making sure I showup and my all white and make sure
(25:07):
I'll wear my white skirt all theway down to my ankles or pass my
knees, and what type of congregationit is? So it's not Catholic,
Yes, it's Christian? Is manthe Church of God a Christ kojikay okay
and um, and I explain topeople something like of people like well what
koji I say, think of likeProtestant a little bit, you know how,
(25:29):
because we believe in speaking in tongues, the dance, things of that
nature. I'm not gifted in noneof those. Um. I'm a truth
teller, okay. So that's whatmy gift is. And I'm a seer.
That's what my gift is, whichis and I knew it, but
it's now different to understand it mygift now. So as a seer,
God gives me a gift of seeingthings, situations, systems. So this
(25:52):
is why it's so easy for meto go into a place and learn the
system. Okay. So that's whyI always been good at even that's what
my master's degree is in, youknow, working on projects, managements,
helping with development and stuff like that, because it's easy for me to see
a system, see how things operate, see what the problem is, and
handle that. So that is onwhat I am. Um that with the
(26:18):
see your capacity. The one thingI don't care what this gift is because
you get to see things in thefuture, but you never know the time
frame when it comes. So yeah, it's like a profit. Okay,
but I won't take this. Iwon't take that tight or not yet ever
because for a profit is more deeperto me. Okay, you know,
(26:41):
that's a whole deeper thing um asa profit, you know. So do
you see me winning in November?I don't see stuff like that to say,
just sit right now, okay,and I won't lie talking to the
spirit. That's what I said,all right. But what I do see,
okay, I see you being victoriousover May seventeenth in the primary.
(27:06):
Okay, okay, that's what Ido. Say, celebrated victory. That's
what I said. Yeah, okay, that's where we will be celebrated November.
I gotta get through. Remember,you can't see that. I can't
see that for I'm not allowed.And then the other visions that he showed
me is like years like for instance, um, I saw my church before
(27:30):
I even went in my church.Oh okay, you know, and then
when I went in the church,that's when God brought back all these visions
I had. That that's where myassalment is. Okay. So stuff like
that that he shows me, youknow, like I see Schylar's restaurant already.
Yeah, and we don't even knowwhere it's a man or anything,
but I already saw it. Soit's Skylar is twenty one and he'd be
(27:53):
twenty two this year August the tenth. Yes, he will, he will
have his restaurant. I know that. Oh yes, So where do you
think Philly? North Philly? Yeah, is North Philly. And the reason
why I said I saw it becauseand and it was so funny when we've
seen the church, that's when Iseen the restaurant. Okay, so it
(28:14):
was a restaurant that is closed rightacross the street from the church. There
you go, like you think acatering type of place. Who are a
pure restaurant, sit down, sitdown restaurant. So I'll be there the
first night, y'all. Yes,so you have to be Oh you gotta
be you v IP. Yes,No, but you are. I'm just
letting you know because we appreciate youin our family and I always tell so
(28:36):
y'all know, um and I alwayssay this true. Cannot tell them.
You can say, I don't thinkI'm allowed. All right, all right,
okay, all right, So justso y'all know. Drew has been
a partner to cook It for autism. He has been a friend to the
black community forever. Okay, Sofor these reasons, I introduced Drew.
When he comes to our events andstuff like that, I tell people they
(28:57):
were like Drew most of the time, is the only white man that comes
to her, that is in theroom, the only white man. And
you know, black people get isuneasy sometimes when they see white people.
So I would sit there and say, I said, oh, don't worry
about Drew. He ain't white,He just light skinning. Okay. So
when y'all see Drew and North Philly, when y'all see Drew, with me,
(29:19):
when y'all see Drew, because Iam going to be Drew supporting Drew
in his election run, Okay,I will be having my Drew Murray shirt.

North Philly, in Southwest Philadelphia thatare predominant black. When y'all see me,
