Natalie Left Him And It Explains Everything

0:00 I have said many times that I think Natalie Harp is symbolic of so much of what's wrong with Maga and so much of what's wrong with the Trump presidency. Let's take a look at the alternate reality as the first example of this. Natalie Harp makes sure that Donald Trump does not experience the consequences of his own actions, that Donald Trump doesn't see the hate that we all have for him, that Donald Trump is always surrounded by articles that make him feel happy and AI slop that allows him to pretend that he's powerful. But Natalie Harp also represents Maga so much because of a relationship that no longer exists in her life. Someone that she left, someone that she abandoned, someone in her life that she walked away from and I think it

0:45 explains a lot of who Natalie is and and for us to talk about that, we got to hear from the person directly. And that is Natalie Harp's brother who shared a little insight about what's going on in her mind, her back story, how she was raised and then I want to talk about what it means for our politics going forward. This is going to be a little bit of a different type of episode, but do stick around cuz there's a lot I want to say. >> You guys grew up in the same home, the same family, so you understand where she's coming from in a way that no one else does. >> Yeah. >> What do you think drew her to him? >> Um well, my mom raised us with uh the idea that American exceptionalism was the correct way of looking at things. Um that the United States is the boss of the world, that like you know, slavery

1:31 was was back then that was normal. People weren't bad because they had slaves. And honestly and it's like Trump wants to take all those books out of schools. He wants to rewrite history. And so like I think that my sister unfortunately um didn't break out of that delusion that my mom raised us with and Trump is like everything that my mom taught us to respect. So I think that's where her infatuation for Trump comes from, honestly. Cuz I don't think it's a physical attraction. Let's Let's get real, you you know? Like personally, I don't think so. >> So, so when you you use the word infatuation, I understand your point um about you know, the nature the nature of it. I mean, she she obviously is his assistant. She um they call her the

2:16 human printer, right? She prints everything. She takes his social media dictation. She accompanies him on almost every trip, including uh when he goes to Mar-a-Lago or his golf club in New Jersey on the weekends. Um and and she was of course, President as we're all now aware, one of the very few people who did not include the Secretary of State or Treasury that Trump took off Air Force One via that catering truck. Yeah. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, I mean, like what that if if you're really friends and loyal to your team, why would you just go peace out and take another airplane when you think the other airplane's going to get shot down? Like >> [laughter] >> What do you think it is about her? I mean, what do you I mean, what do you make of how much the President relies on

3:02 her? We've learned a lot, you know, I mean, from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's new book, we've learned, right? About his incredible reliance on her at all hours of the day to post social media posts just as one example. >> Yeah. I think that um Trump's best friends are people who are his fan club. You know? Like and so she's his biggest fan. And so that's probably why he likes her. And and like she's good looking. Um she's got a good personality. Like um I don't know. >> I I want to ask you personally something that just >> thinks that he saved He thinks that he saved her life. So, like somebody living

3:49 with that kind of gratitude that must feel pretty good. >> Natalie Harp is the perfect encapsulation of the end goal of what Republicans are trying to do with our education in this country, what Republicans want to do with history in this country. They want to whitewash everything. They don't want people to think critically. They want to have them give themselves up to authority entirely, but only the authorities that they like, all right? They want you to give up your autonomy to Republicans, to the surveillance state, to the oligarchs. Uh give up your right to privacy, whether it be the, you know, overturning of Roe v. Wade or, of course, your data being monitored all the time either by your phone or a flock

4:34 camera. Now, they don't want you to trust the authority that is any scientific institution, any academic institution. No, no, no, no, no. Natalie Harp is the end goal of the cult, right? She is the exact perfect picture of what they want. And why? Well, it's because Natalie Harp doesn't have anything real in her life. She isn't friendly or communicating with her brother anymore, and I think that's part of the reason why she is how she is. Natalie Harp's hidden family rift revealed. The president's human printer no longer talks to her brother. Natalie Harp's brother revealed how a tragedy tore their family apart. Preston Harp, who we just heard from, the brother of the president's fawning

5:20 blonde aide, told the Los Angeles Times in a story published Sunday that his father's passing led to the estrangement from his sister. Preston said that when Harp was in her 20s, she moved to Irvine, California with her parents. This was around the same time that she had been diagnosed with stage two bone cancer. Harp's father, Robert Harp, worked as a professor of business and later as the executive director of the office of innovation at the nearby private Christian institution Biola University. However, in July 2020, Robert, the Harp's father, uh passed away taking his own life at the family's home. Preston told the times that his mother, Jill Harp, wanted him to go along with the

6:05 story that Robert had passed away in his sleep, but he refused saying he didn't want to minimize his dad's pain. "That was the last time I ever talked to my sister," he said. So, Natalie Harp's life and, you know, I'm not a doctor, I'm not a psychologist. I guess we're going to do a little armchair psychologizing here. Um, but it's really been an effort to push out feelings that are uncomfy, right? To to rationalize what's going on in her life into, look to, again, authority figures because Natalie Harp's brother, Preston, said that she kind of saw Trump as like this father figure to tell her what to do, how to live. If it wasn't the church, it was the church of Trump and the church

6:52 of MAGA. Like that is Natalie Harp. And that is what conservatives want. They want someone who is going to give themselves up to the oligarchs, give themselves up to the authoritarian state, someone who will sacrifice their freedoms and their autonomy as a human being to serve the capitalistic system and to never question authority, to go along with the wars, to go along with the cover-up of the files, to, you know, work until you die and not complain about it. They don't want change. They want people who are going to be good foot soldiers. And clearly, that's what Natalie Harp has been her entire life, right? And and that's what MAGA wants. That is, again, like I said at the beginning of this video, that is the ultimate end goal, right? That that is what these people want. Now, I I want to talk about Natalie in that way in

7:38 just a second, but I first got to bring up another person who clearly has that frame of mind. Remember Darlene Graham? Darlene Graham, earlier this week, she said it on on Tuesday when she won her primary. She was talking about Dr. Annie Andrews. Doctor with a Dr. Annie Andrews, that is, and how Dr. And I'm going to keep saying Dr. Annie Andrews doesn't understand health care as well as Darlene Graham does, right? Conservative. And why? Well, it's cuz Darlene told a little personal story about how both of her parents passed away at a young age. They were sick. And they just went to work. They sucked it up. They toughed it out. And then they passed in pretty quick succession when she was 11 and then 12.

8:24 And that's what she wants to happen to everybody. She doesn't want to see change. She doesn't want things to be differently. I struggled and you will, too. Things cannot be better. That That's what these people have been told to accept, beat into submission. Right? And they they don't challenge those systems because the right has done such a good job with their foot soldiers of telling them that they are actually taking a stand. I don't know if you've ever heard of and um heard of or read the work Manufactured Consent. This idea that we largely go along, or the masses do, um with with what's kind of like put forth

9:09 into into the culture and in politics and polite society because we've just been conditioned to do so. But that there's a there's a different framing of that that I find a little bit more interesting, something that I've called like Manufactured Dissent. Right? Republicans think that they oppose things because they oppose them. It's not true. There are no ideas that are unique in the conservative movement. You are fed the idea that you hate trans people. You don't. It's not an original thought. You're fed the idea that you hate universal health care. That's commie You don't actually believe that. You couldn't articulate that point. Like racism is taught. We know these things. It is a manufactured descent. So these people are challenging like concepts that aren't real and

9:56 aren't meaningful and they think that they're thinking freely. They are not. All Republican thought is structured. Like I I hate to make a 1984 reference, but a million 1984 references could come about from what I'm saying right now. So they don't challenge the real systems of power. They don't challenge the pedos, right? They don't challenge the billionaires, but they'll challenge the trans people. What? In a press group? Who are you taking on? They're actually also not fighting anything, right? It doesn't take any work to just be a bigot. It's easy to be a bigot. It's lazy to be a bigot. So how does that come back to Natalie Harp? This is a person who is conditioned. This is a person who doesn't want to think. This is a person who thinks that she's

10:42 taking a stand by serving the powerful. That's how Republicans are. How do you break that though? This is the point that I'm trying to get. How do you break that? Community. The thing that Natalie Harp I guess has with Trump but doesn't have with real people. The reason Republicans call it indoctrination when their kids go to college and meet lots of people and hear lots of perspectives and learn history and read books and engage with art and culture and music is because it gives you perspective, right? The the Sean Duffy telling his daughter you can't go to Harvard cuz they're they've professionalized conditioning people. Like what are you talking about by like learning different perspectives? I

11:28 remember um you know, I I went to Columbia and they teach like you know, you you read the Torah and you read the Quran and you read the Bible and you read lots of different, you know, religious works and religious texts. I remember some crazy from the free press came to the Columbia bookstore and they're like, "Look, they're selling copies of the Quran." And it's like, "Yeah, well, because people are we it's all of the religious texts are a part of our curriculum." That's not indoctrination. We read the Christian Bible. So, what are you talking about? But, Natalie Harp like shielded herself, like try to put walls up to that. Republicans don't want you to be able to think independently or critically. They want you to think that you are. They want you to think that your opposition to trans people existing is some new

12:13 thought that you've had. They want you to take your anger, rationalize it, and believe your opinion is fact. It's not true. Natalie Harp is the way that she is because much like Donald Trump, she's in a bubble. She's in a bubble. And the way that we break that bubble is community and accessibility. You know, a lot of people will say that what Zohran Mamdani is doing in New York is an agenda about affordability. Yes, but I disagree because it's more than that. Zohran is making New York accessible. $100 tickets. Did you see this? To the US Open. Making sure that people can afford an event that people are right now getting priced out of. Free tickets for students to Broadway shows. He's opening up community spaces that were

12:59 broken down and cracked and crumbling. He was given uh what is it? $95 tickets to the World Cup? Zohran Mamdani is focused on accessibility of the city with the most and the best culture in the country. That's what he's focused on. Democrats should be focused on building community, finding ways for people to engage with their neighbors. All of the ways that we used to that we used to participate in a small favors economy with real people, all of them have been monetized, taken away from us. You don't You don't ask your neighbor for sugar, maybe you do, hopefully you do, when you can just get it on DoorDash. No one's picking you up from the airport if you can catch an Uber. We have been separated from like humanity in our lives, and that's purposeful.

13:46 That's purposeful. And it's a problem. It's a problem. We need more community. And I think for the next Democratic president or the next era of the Democratic Party, community is something we should be thinking about. Because when you are not with people, when you are not with culture, when you are not with perspective and ideas, you become Natalie Harp. Or you become the dementia adult version of Donald Trump that exists right now. And that's what the Republican Party wants. So Natalie Harp no longer talking to her brother, someone who is by all accounts a progressive, someone who's open-minded and actually loving of all people, is the reason she is how she is. And so I say, my call to Democrats, and my call to anyone who wants to build a real political movement, is think about community.

14:32 Think about how you're bringing people together. Think about how you're putting people in touch. Like that that is something that should matter. That's what you should be thinking about in housing policy, in transit policy, in urban design, in all of these things. It's like bringing people together. And that is also a part of affordability. If you have time to be with your friends, it's likely because you're not picking up an extra shift, or you're stressing about work, that you're not so drained at the end of the day. Like physically drained at the end of the day, cuz your boss is sucking up all your labor, some billionaire is making money off of you, stealing your labor, then you'll want to go be with people. And that's what we need. Cuz that is that is what humans at at our core desire. So I know this

15:20 kind of went all over the and it sounds like a manifesto, but like if we want to change MAGA and beat it back, it's going to take existing with each other and having community. Like that is the most important thing to build and focus on. So, that's my little take on the Natalie of it all. Different than the usual she's his nurse, she's got and he's got dementia thing, but I just wanted to share a different perspective. Hey, it's a Sunday night.
