1
A shock resignation has just made the Natalie Harp saga all the much weirder.
2
And I think every single day, the Natalie Harp saga is going to get weirder.
3
Because Donald Trump and her are just weird.
4
Their relationship is strange, it is very public, and we are finally getting media attention on it.
5
And I think that is why one of Donald Trump's top female staffers just resigned.
6
It also comes amidst reporting about how difficult it is to be a MAGA woman.
7
Before we get to this resignation and more news about the Natalie Harp saga, I want to get into that report, which I find ridiculous.
8
I will explain why.
9
We'll get into this shock resignation and so much more.
10
MAGA ladies spill on brutal reality of working for Trump.
11
Women working for the president have said it's exhausting to keep up with his constant demands.
12
Women working under Donald Trump are speaking out about the toll that the job can take, given the beauty standards and the president's demanding nature.
13
Several MAGA women told the Daily Mail that they didn't blame outgoing White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt for wanting to leave.
14
While also Levitt cited a desire to spend more time with her young children, she was also reportedly fed up with the constant demands from Trump.
15
Some women revealed that the constant pressure to keep up with the latest beauty standard,
16
which can include daily blowouts and regular Botox treatments, can also grow tiresome.
17
It gets to be utterly draining, one MAGA woman said of working for Trump.
18
You have to be exceptional at your job.
19
That's kind of funny because you actually don't.
20
You just have to lie, which is a given.
21
But if you're a woman, you have to look a certain way, dress a certain way, and be available 24-7 because this is a president who barely sleeps, she explained.
22
Add to that the pressure of a family at home, and it's no wonder so many of us flame out.
23
Blanche Sprague, one of Donald Trump's former executives from his days as a New York sociolite,
24
told the Daily Mail that it was exhausting working like a nanny to keep up with his demands.
25
He used to call me up at night and say, did you know that there's a soda bottle in front of Trump Plaza?
26
and I would have to make sure that it was picked up right away
27
because he would drive past again to see that it was gone, she recalled.
28
Some defenders of the president's demands asserted that it was not Trump's behavior exactly that drives women to focus on the appearance, but female competition amongst his staffers.
29
So that sounds healthy.
30
He doesn't force these women to have 6 a.m blowouts or get plastic surgery or go on weight loss drugs, one person said.
31
They get the Botox and fillers because the White House is a competitive place.
32
Everyone is vying for attention.
33
But whose attention?
34
It seems like Trump's.
35
Sources also reveal that for some of the lower-level staffers, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze with high-pressure nature of the work
36
and the relatively low salaries compared to other entry-level political gigs in Washington.
37
You are expected to look a certain way.
38
Most of the women at the White House get their hair blown out at least twice a week before work, and then there is a pressure to go to the gym and dress well.
39
A lot of younger aides don't make that much money.
40
You're talking maybe $50,000 to $70,000 a year.
41
It's not only a stressful business working in Trump's world, it's an expensive one.
42
Still, in addition to Levitt, six other women from Trump's inner circle have departed since the start of the year.
43
Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Lori Chavez de Ramire, and of course, Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson,
44
as well as Sony Joy Nelson.
45
In his post announcing her departure, the president said
46
that Levitt will be moving into a new role as an outside advisor to work to defy history
47
and conclusively win the midterm elections.
48
Sources told the Daily Mail that even though she is leaving the podium, Trump likely still will be frequently calling Levitt.
49
I've said this a couple of times over the last few days,
50
but the number one identity you claim when you work for the Trump administration is fascist, right?
51
I don't care if you're a MAGA lady and Donald Trump objectifies you.
52
Yeah, he was always going to.
53
He's a sexist fascist.
54
Am I supposed to give you sympathy?
55
Are you a victim now because you work in the White House hurting people and especially women?
56
This is wild.
57
The Republican Party has worked for decades to remove autonomy from women's lives.
58
They are now pushing and factions
59
that are growing to stop women from being able to vote
60
and I'm supposed to feel bad
61
that you have pressure to get a blowout in Botox because the president is a sexist and a misogynist?
62
Miss me with that bullshit.
63
Just because he likes Natalie Hart more than you and Carolyn Levitt left because of it doesn't mean you get my sympathy.
64
You get none.
65
Because if you work for Donald Trump, you are a bad person.
66
Even if you quit, which another female staffer just did.
67
Trump blow as yet another female staffer quits.
68
The top aide to Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, is the latest in a series of exits.
69
A top aide to Stephen Miller, Emily Underwood, is joining the stream of Trump officials exiting the White House.
70
Underwood served as the top deputy to the White House deputy chief of staff.
71
The aide is the latest in a series of Trump staffers to leave the administration ahead of the midterms.
72
The most prominent announced this month was, of course, White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levin.
73
There's been a lot of speculation, but no leading contender to replace her when she goes, but maybe that's because so many people have left.
74
As we can see here, it's not just Carolyn Levitt.
75
It's Emily Underwood, the latest female staffer to leave.
76
We also have Sunny Joy Nelson, Lee Barden, Abigail Jackson, and although not a woman, Andy Baker is another prominent official to leave the Trump administration.
77
But as we can see, a lot of ladies are leaving Trump.
78
Underwood was working in the White House as a deputy assistant to the president and senior policy strategist.
79
She previously served as a policy advisor and had been part of the administration since the start of Trump's second term.
80
Her departure was first reported by Axios on Tuesday.
81
Her role focused on coordinating policy strategy across the federal government,
82
and she would be departing to become a partner at the venture capital firm Trust Ventures.
83
So yes, this is just another person leaving to make money still with connections to the Trump government.
84
Definitely don't feel bad for them.
85
Underwood, as I've noted, is one of several women who have exited the administration in recent months.
86
Apart from Levitt's looming departure, which Trump announced on Truth Social, as I said, we saw Abigail Jackson and others announced that they were leaving.
87
This, of course, also comes as, like I said, a special Deputy National Security Advisor Andy Baker also was leaving the administration.
88
Now, although we are seeing resignations across the board, I think it's very important to point out that we are seeing specific,
89
specifically MAGA resignations from the MAGA ladies, right?
90
They're going, okay, Trump's in love with Natalie.
91
Maybe there's a lot of attention if I get too close
92
and the only way to stay or to be elevated is to get too close.
93
So maybe they want nothing to do with this.
94
There is also just the possibility that these people are leaving to make money, which is why no one, and I mean no one,
95
is ever going to get me to feel bad for the MAGA ladies.
96
There will be no, oh, it's so difficult working in such a sexist White House.
97
We know.
98
We told you not to vote for him.
99
Why are you part of a party that hates you?
100
They always will.
101
No matter how many times Jesse Waters or anyone on the right demands that they need to protect women's sports, something they fundamentally don't care about,
102
they're always making fun of women's sports, just stop with the bullshit.
103
This was a party created to hurt people.
104
That is the point of the administration.
105
Women, immigrants, hell, if you want healthcare, they are going to hurt you, which is why I want to talk about chapter.
106
Here's a number I keep coming back to.
107
Medicare processes about 35 claims every second, over a billion a year.
108
That is an enormous system, and enormous systems are not built to notice you.
109
Most of the time, it works fine.
110
A claim goes in, it clears in about two weeks, you never think about it.
111
But the moment one gets disputed, it drops out of the fast lane and can take 60 days or more.
112
And for those 60 days, the person on the phone chasing it is you, which is the part nobody mentions when you're picking a plan. So chapter.
113
They're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide, independent and honest.
114
But here's the piece I'd actually flag.
115
Once you're enrolled, you get a dedicated team for the whole year, A surprise bill, a denial, a prescription that suddenly costs more, they take it on.
116
You are not the only one sitting on hold.
117
And if you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you and leave you alone.
118
If you're not, they'll help you switch.
119
Both of those are just answers, which is rarer than it should be.
120
Free, under 20 minutes, no pressure.
121
231-625-5060 or the link in the description.
122
Get the personalized Medicare guidance and support that you deserve.
123
Republicans are doing everything possible to make life more difficult, and especially that includes health care right now.
124
So again, how are you going to get me to feel sympathy for you
125
when the people who are working to help strip health care from 25 million people are complaining about,
126
like, the elective procedures they're choosing to have to like make themselves more Mar-a-Lago faced for Donald Trump?
127
I don't care about your plastic surgery.
128
People can't get real surgery.
129
It is just wild that these are complaints being offered up by MAGA.
130
And whenever you mock this, there's a certain faction of people who still, for whatever reason, kind of want to keep the respect that I really just hate in our politics.
131
Because what does respect get you?
132
Like, this is what the respect thing is.
133
They want you to respect their authority and submit to them.
134
If you want to be respected as just like a human being, it's not a respect that goes, that goes both ways, right?
135
You have to respect them as an authority that gets to walk all over you.
136
If maybe one day down the line, they'll respect your humanity, which they never do.
137
So I'm tired of this respect shit.
138
But whenever you mock like the MAGA women, it's always, oh, this is sexist or this is, you know, you're not being body positive.
139
Stop it.
140
The identity that comes first is fascist.
141
That's the thing.
142
And so if I'm criticizing you, I am criticizing you as a fascist first and foremost, because all MAGA ever sees,
143
if you are benefiting our movement.
144
Now, if you get power in it, you got to be a white evangelical man, probably with some money.
145
You can kind of be a little gay, right?
146
Because you can hide it all, you know, Josh Hawley, Mike Johnson, Lindsey Graham, you know, may his soul rest in peace and hell.
147
But yeah, I'm gonna continue to make fun of these people because they deserve it, right?
148
And what's more important is like this freak out of her making fun of Natalie Harp, Jon Ossoff wasn't doing that,
149
or you know, necessarily, because he said this last night with Jen Psaki.
150
And the reason I asked about Natalie Harp is because it's kind of raised this question out there, more questions about her.
151
He is surrounded by sycophants, no question.
152
I just talked about that.
153
But you specifically mentioned her and I just wonder why.
154
Why?
155
Well, I've heard this particular aide referred to as his security blanket.
156
And I think we could say that about any number of the senior aides in the White House.
157
They're not telling him what he needs to hear.
158
They're telling him what he wants to hear.
159
And the nation is at war.
160
And we cannot afford that.
161
We need a team in the White House.
162
We need folks at the State Department, at the Defense Department, in the United States Congress who take their jobs seriously.
163
sailors out on the Lincoln, they do their jobs with excellence and dedication every single day.
164
They didn't sign up for luxury.
165
They signed up to defend the country.
166
And the president, surrounded by enablers in the West Wing, is playing golf, is trading stock, and is decorating his ballroom.
167
It's a disgrace.
168
All while American families in Georgia
169
and across the country pay more for just about everything as a direct result of his failed economic policy
170
and has failed foreign policy.
171
John Ossoff was simply pointing out the fact that Donald Trump is
172
so distracted and cares so little about the job of the presidency that all he wants to do, and this is well documented and true,
173
is build his ballroom and have Natalie Harp show him nice messages.
174
That's basic.
175
It's true.
176
That's right on.
177
That is absolutely correct.
178
So what are we talking about here?
179
Right.
180
There is no right wing freak out necessary.
181
So much so that Jesse Waters even said it.
182
Am I fazed by this comment?
183
No. Has Trump said so much worse?
184
So much more sleazy things against other people?
185
Yes.
186
Have I defended those things?
187
Absolutely.
188
So I'm not going to pretend I'm all hot and bothered about it.
189
Jesse Waters is self-aware about how ridiculous the Natalie Harp attack
190
that the right is claiming that John Ossoff made is, he didn't.
191
He pointed out a very simple truth, which is that Donald Trump is in love with the people who are nice to him and show him nice things.
192
He has said this.
193
He says it all the time.
194
Well, quite frankly, I like the people who are nice to me, and if you're not nice, I don't like you so much.
195
That's what Donald Trump says practically every single day.
196
It's why dictators love Donald Trump, because they know he is in deep, deep cognitive decline.
197
So it's easy to like work that mush brain and just like get him to do what you want.
198
That is a threat to our national security.
199
It is incredibly terrifying.
200
And it is why I continue to bring up the fact
201
that I wouldn't be surprised if Natalie Harp was a Russian or Israeli asset, right?
202
Would that really be that wild to try to get your way into the presidency?
203
But let me close on this, on the Natalie Harp thing.
204
Maybe Natalie Harp will get her comeuppance one day.
205
I think she should be subpoenaed.
206
Because if Donald Trump and Todd Blanch are going to work to hide all their communications, we need to hear it from the human printer herself.
207
Maybe she will.
208
I don't know.
209
But the MAGA ladies will.
210
In one way or another, it's happening right now.
211
Yes, they're trying to escape to make money in venture capital.
212
But you will be held accountable.
213
And we are going to continue to call for that to happen on this show every single day.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
