Shadowing Practice: Natalie Harp Just Got What She Deserves... - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Natalie Harp is finally getting what she deserves.
2
Natalie Harp deserves to be admonished,
3
to be mocked, and to have relentless attention paid to her and Donald Trump's incredibly weird but also very corrupt relationship.
4
And that is all being exposed right now.
5
And I want to talk about in this video why Natalie Harp
6
and all of the weird MAGA ladies around Donald Trump deserve special attention and humiliation right now.
7
I think there is a certain piece of the population,
8
even the left-leaning population, that might think that going after Natalie Harp is taking it a little bit too far,
9
or because the MAGA women around Donald Trump are treated so much worse than the MAGA men, we should have a little bit of sympathy.
10
Usha Vance comes to mind.
11
But I want to talk about why that's just bullshit, why all of these fascists equally deserve to be treated like shit,
12
And I want to do that by getting into some of the Natalie Harp past that is coming to light right now.
13
So we can all feel very excited about going after this horrible person.
14
It all begins with some new details that Michael Wolff is sharing about the relationship between these two.
15
You're going to want to stick around for the whole video.
16
We're going to mock Natalie Harp, Carolyn Levitt, and Scott Jennings.

18
Before we get to one of the most important pieces of Natalie Harp lore, I want to break down these new details from Michael Wolff.
19
Trump's companion's extreme efforts to remain by his side revealed.
20
The 80-year-old president's 35-year-old assistant is determined to stay near him around the clock, even at night, according to his biographer.
21
White House aide Natalie Harp is going to extraordinary lengths to stay glued to Donald Trump, even keeping close to him through the night, according to his biographer.
22
Harper, the president's 35-year-old executive assistant, has become a near-constant presence at Trump's side, lurking in the back during Oval Office meetings,
23
carrying a portable printer to print out news stories she thinks he might like, and posting from his social media accounts late into the night.
24
Harp's relationship with the 80-year-old president has unsettled his inner circle, after she left a string of love letters for Trump in his personal spaces,
25
with one reportedly reading, You are all that matters to me, a disturbed Susie Wiles asked herself.
26
Where am I, according to Regime Change, the book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.
27
But efforts to keep the pair apart have repeatedly failed amid Harp's persistence, according to Trump biographer Michael Wolfe.
28
The author wrote in a new post on his Substack newsletter, Howl, that Harp was not given a room
29
when Trump moved his campaign operation from Palm Beach to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey in 2023 but she found a way to sleep nearby anyway,
30
setting up a bed for herself in the maid's quarters.
31
But the maid's quarters apparently failed to satisfy Harp's need for proximity, so she instead spent the summer camped out in the women's locker room,
32
shaving precious distance between herself and Donald Trump, according to Michael Wolff.
33
The author noted that while no one in the Trump camp suspects a sexual relationship,
34
there was nonetheless a conviction that Harp is hopelessly in love with Donald Trump and determined to be his higher purpose bride.
35
It's a Christian devotional relationship, one Trump aide told Wolf.
36
The biographer attributed Melania Trump's continued absence from Trump during his campaign to his attachment to Natalie Harp.
37
Melania, whose appearances with her husband were carefully negotiated and choreographed, would not show up if Harp was around.
38
Since Harp was always around, Melania was never appearing with her husband, only in the last week of the campaign.
39
Wolf noted that 56-year-old first lady did not move into the White House with Trump after his return to office.
40
other than at ceremonial occasions or in a strictly official capacity.
41
She has given up the role of wife, he wrote.
42
Practically speaking, there is no room for her.
43
Trump, meanwhile, told his team early in the second term that Harp was the only one that loved him God, this is so fucking weird, as much as his wife and kids.
44
Melania Trump's lawyer did not respond to a request for comment, while the White House communications director, Stephen Chung, responded to this piece in new reporting by saying,
45
Michael Wolfe is a lying sack of shit and has been proven to be a fraud.
46
He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination,
47
only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump derangement syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.
48
Wow, that's a lot now, isn't it?
49
So this reporting really sheds a lot of light on the long-term weirdness of the relationship between Natalie Harp
50
and Donald Trump that has been wide-ranging and well-documented did.
51
But I think what people forget about is that she was also a really bad TV host, right?
52
She's not just been in Donald Trump's orbit as an aide.
53
She was also an anchor for a period of time.
54
And I think the most notable part of her work was this right here.
55
We can't talk about winning back the House and Senate in 2022
56
and the White House in 2024 if we don't act on the fact
57
that we actually did win the White House and the Senate in 2020.
58
We shouldn't be afraid to say that because it's true.
59
Natalie Harp is not just some hopelessly in love aid orbiting Trump.
60
She is an election denier.
61
She is a fascist collaborator.
62
She is a sick, twisted Christian nationalist.
63
She is a bad person.
64
Natalie Harp is the type of lady to, you know, help Donald Trump put together a speech advocating for women to go back to traditional roles
65
while she flies around on Air Force One as Donald Trump's executive assistant.
66
Now, I know executive assistant isn't exactly CEO or, you know, top official, but like Natalie Harp and Carolyn Levitt
67
and all these people around the kind of MAGA trad movement advocate against their own lives, right?
68
They say women need to be back home and they need to submit to their husbands, yet they're leading successful careers.
69
Not to say that I really admire Natalie Harp's work, but she's in the White House.
70
She's an executive assistant to the president.
71
So these people fundamentally lie to the women who might listen to them, and they're full of hypocrisy.
72
Set aside for a second just the fact that Natalie Harp is an election denier.
73
This is a bad person.
74
You should not feel bad for making fun of her, which is why I find these responses to John Ossoff from Republicans fucking absurd.
75
Scott Jennings responded to John Ossoff, always the smug asshole Scott is, this is quite a message for the Democratic Party to send to young women working in politics.
76
Party of women?
77
Question mark?
78
Pretty ugly stuff.
79
Michael Knowles, also a guy who like relentlessly mocks and undermines women, I guess took great offense to this,
80
writing, an enterprising reporter should consider reaching out to John Ossoff's female staffers past and present.
81
He seems to be making some interesting assumptions about how male bosses behave with the women who work for them.
82
John Ossoff said nothing of the relationship between Natalie Harp and Donald Trump,
83
aside from the fact that Donald Trump really likes Natalie Harp and Natalie Harp really likes Donald Trump.
84
This is well documented and they both have said this.
85
The fact that Michael Knowles is immediately jumping to suggest
86
that John Ossoff is saying that there's some sort of sexual relationship here
87
or that a male boss would only like a female subordinate because of a sexual dynamic
88
is a pretty big admission from him.
89
Like, is that what you're saying?
90
That you think only like men and women can like each other in that capacity?
91
And a man with power over a woman only wants that relationship for some sort of sexual reason?
92
Like, that's a big admission from a conservative.
93
Also, that is not what Ossoff is saying.
94
He's talking about how Natalie Harp and Donald Trump are focused on everything but what matters to people in this country.
95
The argument that Ossoff is making is one about distraction.
96
That Natalie Harp serves to distract Donald Trump with the things that make him happy.
97
You know, gold and toys and nice tweets rather than actually doing the work of governing.
98
And it's also ridiculous for Scott Jennings to suggest that John Ossoff was putting down Natalie Harp.
99
Also, Donald Trump is in the files.
100
He's a rapist.
101
He's a sexual predator.
102
He hates women.
103
He constantly degrades female reporters.
104
He did today.
105
So miss me with that bullshit.
106
But Ossoff isn't suggesting that, like, women can't work for Trump.
107
I don't know the conclusion that these two are trying to draw, but it's clearly based on their own worldview rather than what John Ossoff is saying.
108
Again, what he is articulating is clearly about a lack of focus.
109
Listen to him right here.
110
Like, let's get back to the full context of the clip.
111
And while the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves,
112
the president sleeps through his meetings.
113
He golfs and trades stocks.
114
See, he doesn't want to do the job.
115
He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.
116
What Ossoff is so obviously saying is that there are people who are hurting
117
and Donald Trump is making the country worse all the
118
while him and Natalie Harp are like gallivanting around Bedminster
119
or traveling and having fun on the plane and the decoy plane or the non-decoy plane, I should say, while she just shows him good news.
120
And showing Donald Trump good news provides no material benefit to the rest of us.
121
That is clearly the argument that Ossoff is making.
122
It is not misogynistic.
123
And that's like Scott Jennings is just saying, he's just saying that.
124
That's how he views women.
125
It's the same thing for Michael Knowles.
126
They are saying, well, that's how I view workplace dynamics between men and women.
127
So that's obviously what John Ossoff is trying to say.
128
I have a lot of friends on John Ossoff's staff.
129
All they ever talk about is how relentlessly focused the senator is, which again is the opposite of Donald Trump.
130
And it is also a critique of Natalie Harp that she's engaged in this mass corruption scheme, right?
131
Like Natalie Harp is the one with the phone that sends the tweets, the tweets that influence where oil futures are trading at,
132
where Palantir stock or Dell stock or any other stock is trading at.
133
So Natalie Harp should be like subpoenaed and brought before Congress.
134
If we are to understand the corruption scheme that Donald Trump is running out of his Truth Social account, we should have to have Natalie Harp answer some of those questions.
135
Again, none of this is like misogynistic or a put down on women.
136
No one's saying that like Natalie Harp is like Donald Trump's milkmaid.
137
Calling her his nurse is more of an indictment upon, you know, Donald Trump's cognitive decline than it is her capacity.
138
And like clearly she's not particularly smart.
139
She works in the Trump administration.
140
But I would say that of anyone in the Trump administration.
141
It's not misogynistic to be critical of a fascist woman, right?
142
Some labels come before other labels
143
and the right always tries to do this like I criticize
144
Carolyn Levins like all of these these Democrats claim to love women yet.
145
They're attacking Carolyn Levitt.
146
It's like yeah She's a fascist first if you are a fascist that comes before any other identity that you hold
147
And I want to close on one more thing with Natalie
148
Harp is what Maggie Haberman suggested here with Tim Miller You mentioned Natalie Harp the printer.
149
I do have to ask about this Yes.
150
Also in the book that she leaves little mash notes for Trump around.
151
I was kind of the view that Trump is probably impotent now
152
because he just doesn't talk about sex as much as he used to.
153
But I don't know.
154
It was eyebrow raising the love notes that you included that.
155
What we found in our reporting for the book is we got these these these letters
156
that that she had been leaving in his in his private spaces.
157
and they were very raw, they were very emotional.
158
In one, she said, you are all that matters to me.
159
But these notes that she was leaving alarmed the Secret Service who were concerned about it, who raised issues about it at the time.
160
Trump has been open with people that, you know, she's the person who loves him on staff as much as his, you know, wife and children.
161
And he'll say things like, you know, the rest of you will go off and make money.
162
She will never leave me.
163
So without commenting on your first lead in there, you know, she is.
164
You don't have any reporting on the impotence.
165
She is very, very focused on on him and on being in his world.
166
There is certainly not a and I wouldn't even want to think about it
167
if there was a kind of sexual relationship between Trump and Natalie Harp.
168
It is purely like the Trump loves nice things being said about him and Natalie Harp changes his diapers.
169
I think this is not only a story that shows that Donald Trump isn't focused on anything, but he's also very weak.
170
And that is a way that Donald Trump hates to be portrayed.
171
I am imploring Democrats to talk about Natalie Harp more.
172
It is corruption.
173
It is a lack of focus.
174
And it's poopy-dipy president who needs 25th Amendment time.
175
Please discuss it that way.
176
And there will be fruits of your Natalie Harp labor.
177
and we are going to continue to call for it on this show.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
