RSS Feed Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff sparked a national frenzy when he said Trump just wants to “travel with Natalie” at a recent campaign rally. Natalie Harp has been dominating headlines for the past week, as her intense devotion to Trump was revealed after a news outlet released personal letters she wrote to the President in 2023. Harp can be seen by Trump’s side 24/7, and it’s now led to so much speculation and innuendo, the White House has released a statement. We go over America’s fascination with the 35-year-old, and discuss why her hair color has become a constant mention in nearly every story.

Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. It is Saturday, August twenty second, and she is now being talked about as possibly one of the most powerful people in the country. No, she does not hold public office. No, she is not some titan of industry. Who is she. She is the young woman who follows President Trump around everywhere he goes. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. And this is she is the talk of the town right now, and to a certain degree I feel bad for.
00:00:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, every time we turn on the TV, you pull up your newsfeed, she is on it.
00:00:40
Speaker 3: Her name is Natalie Harp, and her face is everywhere.
00:00:44
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to get into this later. I didn't mean to do this at the top. How much of this story is about that face and that this is an attractive young woman following around this eighty year old man with a history of stuff.
00:00:56
Speaker 3: It's everything.
00:00:58
Speaker 2: She's a blonde, blue eyed girl who looks like a lot I shouldn't say girl. She's a woman who looks a lot like what many people have pointed to in the women who surround President Trump have a certain look, and she's a young version of that.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: Yes, that is okay, nobody is saying that out loud.
00:01:21
Speaker 3: Nope, but that's what's happening.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: Because Senata Osof of Georgia, certainly, in invoking her name, it seems suggesting no excuse me. People took it and ran with it however they wanted to. But plenty of others thought he knew what he was doing by invoking her name. I think that is incredibly unfair. I thought she was It was wrong for her name to be dragged through the mud. And now here we are robes with personal letters she wrote to the president. This is now the big headline of the big story. Personal letters she wrote to him in twenty twenty three have now been made public. Should they have no look it?
00:01:59
Speaker 2: I I understand that this is our president. We need transparency, We need professionalism in the White House.
00:02:08
Speaker 3: We demand that.
00:02:09
Speaker 2: And the people who are around him, who surround him, who travel with him. Yes, I think we get to know who they are, We get to know details about them. They're government employees. But at a certain point, are those folks to those people? Do they deserve a certain private life? Do they deserve privacy?
00:02:29
Speaker 3: And we should we.
00:02:32
Speaker 2: Have private correspondence between the two of them. I think it feels icky, and no one. I think this is the worst part for me. No one is saying that she and the president have any type of untoward sexual relationship. I've not heard anyone make that accusation that they're having an affair. They've certainly talked about how Milania doesn't like her or and so look, there's just nothing but insinuations, insinuations and innuendos. Excuse me, that's insinuations and innuendos. And I think that's very unfair. Either make an accusation based on facts or some sort of reporting that you've sourced, or just to suggest and laugh and put these letters up. I mean, what is the point, What is the point of all of this? What are journalists trying to say to the American.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: People that these are important to get an insight into his inner circle, get an insight into his loyal base, to get some type of insight into the woman who is pretty much a gatekeeper of all things for this president. They are saying that that is the value in doing so, and I think that's just a way to try to find a way to justify But this is a This is a woman who wrote a private, a personal letter, a card to this guy. It's just not fair game. I hate that these things came out. It's how I am, and I know journalists we will feel any other way if we had them in our hands. Robes, I can say that I wouldn't want to put this out to the world. There's no crime alleged in here. There's nothing right. There's nothing like that in there other than her personal, very intimate feelings right about the president. Now, folks see it and you can jump to whatever conclusion, but it doesn't Nothing in there is proving anything other than her love, absolute devotion, and if you want to go as far as saying obsession, fine, but that's still it seems it seems like such an invasion.
00:04:35
Speaker 2: It does because also look, and I get it, We've read I've read the letters. I'm sure you have to, and those of you listening probably most of you have done it as well. And look, it is a little creepy, but it does feel like she's looking for a father figure, and it does seem like she worships him. I think there's no question about that. But what where is the news value. I'm curious, Like I understand if she look a lot of people are talking about her role with the president and her role in his social media account. Let's examine that. That's fine. I don't mind trying to figure out who was putting up some of these frankly ridiculous and at times delusional posts on his true social page.
00:05:16
Speaker 3: I think we can examine that part of it. But to kind of be.
00:05:20
Speaker 2: Either laughing or sneering or joking or insinuating, I don't think that's I don't think that makes our profession look good. I don't think I think we're above that. I think again, if there are accusations, then absolutely that would be something that we should investigate. But short of that, what is the point of just humiliating her? Because I feel like that's what we're doing.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's too I just said, don't robes everything you mentioned about her and what she does, and especially the social media because that is his I mean, that is how he does most of his press releases these days. That's how we get information. Who is the gatekeeper of that? I'm very interested in knowing how these Absolutely, well, there's value in knowing her background and all of this stuff that's out there for public. It seems like we it's like hacking our email account. Right, It's uh, it feels that kind of invasion.
00:06:17
Speaker 2: It feels like an invasion of privacy without a doubt. And so look, while I do think we need to know the relationships that are happening in the White House in terms of just who the people are behind them, especially when they do have very important roles, but I just feel like we don't have There is no smoking gun, There is no there is no anything other than ooh, look what we found. It's like finding someone's diary and reading it for everyone. I mean, it just kind of feels like that.
00:06:45
Speaker 1: That was and that's the most recent headline involving her with this we mentioned awesome. But this all got started because the revelation came Robes that when he made his Great escape from Turkey. Everybody's familiar with that by now. He hopped off Air Force one and took a catering truck across the runway and got onto another plane. That whole thing. She was one of the aids that was with him, Natalie Harp, thirty five year old Natalie Harp, that we are not that familiar with, right, A very small group. It was Hexeth one other White House aid, Trump and Natalie Harp. Marco Rubio was on the other plane.
00:07:24
Speaker 2: They left him and the entire White House Press corps on the other decoy plane that apparently was in no threat whatsoever. However, we know the president and Natalie Harp had to escape through that catering trug.
00:07:37
Speaker 1: So folks look at that and while she is of that value, she's that important, And then of course Osoff made his comments and the thing took off. But her official title is Special Assistant to the President, Executive Assistant to the President. She's actually been working with him since twenty twenty twenty, but it was what year she had her what was twenty that's that Year's not.
00:07:59
Speaker 2: Right, four, I believe is when she started working with him, right in the second term.
00:08:03
Speaker 1: But it was the RNC speech.
00:08:04
Speaker 3: That was when she gave the RNC speech twenty twenty.
00:08:07
Speaker 1: Oh, correct, it is there, It is all right. So, yes, she had claimed drobes in that speech and she's repeated it several times, and she credits this president was saving her life, literally saving her life through legislation that he signed in his first term that she says allowed her to get an experimental treatment and she is now cured, if you will from bone cancer. This is the guy, she literal really says, this man saved her life.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: And so looking at these letters through that lens that, yes, she had just lost her father, which I believe she mentions. She looks to him in that way as her guiter and protector. I believe was one of the phrases she used. But look, if anyone out there listening or who loves someone who went through cancer, look, that is a transformational situation. And when you're that young and you've gone through something life threatening like that, that's scary. That required some sort of experimental treatment to survive. Person who cleared the way, paved the way, who gave you that in you're going to feel forever indebted to them. So you might think it's weird, You might think her languages over the top, and yes, slightly obsessed, but you do need to look at it through the lens of this woman really does it appears look to President Trump as someone who saved her life.
00:09:22
Speaker 1: You give the girl some grace kind of a thing, Okay, fine, for whatever their relationship might be. She's now robes though all anybody wants to talk about.
00:09:34
Speaker 2: People are now obsessed with Natalie Harp's obsession with President Trump.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: And these letters are something that she's been referred to. We've heard plenty of times now, the human printer. She apparently carries around a printer with her everywhere with the President because she wants to be able to print out news items and whatnot and give him hard copies of stuff. Maggie Haberman, the writer New York Times reporter. She in her latest book she's been promoting, but she called him and we saw this on TV robe she was doing an interview, said it's called her his binkie.
00:10:06
Speaker 2: Yes, that basically, Natalie Harp is the President's security blanket, like baby blanket. So yes, she referred to her as his binkie.
00:10:16
Speaker 3: And apparently she gives him only good news.
00:10:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they say that's a part of the problem Robes and what makes her so powerful. She is able to filter out what she doesn't want him to want him to see, and that might be reality. So if you think about it like that, Robes, some of the stuff that comes out from him we're blown away by, like is he not aware of blank blank? He might not be. Stuff is being handed to him like she This is how The New York Times, the description put it, and this is this descriptive as you can get. As long as mss harp is around, he enjoys an unvetted flow of information, some of it poisonous and counterproductive, at least as far as a number of his advisors are concerned. She supplies him with content she fishes out of the social media gutter, like the video he posted deficting the Obama's apes, and provides him with a view from the world outside official Washington, of which he has always been mistrustful. Harmonica is human printer because she tails the president with a portable printer so that you can hand him information in hard copy and get this. She is a platinum blonde geyser of positivity there to buck him up when the going gets rough.
00:11:25
Speaker 3: Why did they need to say her hair color? I'm just curious, what do you think descriptive If she was a brunette, do you think they would say it?
00:11:35
Speaker 1: She is a brunette, geyser of positivity doesn't have the same ring to.
00:11:41
Speaker 3: It, exactly.
00:11:42
Speaker 2: So they're pointing out and they're making that known for a reason. And look, I do think part of what The New York Times wrote there is interesting and is newsworthy, and I think it is important to know this person who might actually be responsible for his truth's social feed, which we comment on this at least once a week, because you I'll wake up and you're at the desk and you're saying, Babe, you've got to look at Trump's truth social He's gone bananas overnight. And now we kind of know that it's She is the source of all, if not most, of what we're seeing on his feet, and it is disturbing and concerning oftentimes.
00:12:22
Speaker 1: But she's, as they say, she's the one always there as a part of those posts. She's always there giving him options for posting stuff. She's the one who is with him one on one. She has more time, she has her own Seato marine one. She is always by the President's side. And now if you start paying attention every time you see him, like oh wow, there she is, like she's been there the whole time.
00:12:47
Speaker 3: And yet I've never noticed her up until we got her name told.
00:12:52
Speaker 2: To us by us Off And then of course everyone starts googling Natalie because all he said was travel with Natalie. He didn't even you her last name when he was referring to her, and so it was. It's really fascinating that now, Yes, when you look, turns out she is with him just about everywhere every time he leaves. There are even pictures of her walking side by side with Milania walking onto Air Force One, et cetera.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: So she's been around and people want to make some beef about as Lania doesn't like her. Clearly she's been around for long for a long time. The White House rope, they say, didn't necessarily help slow this story. By the response that they gave. They had several members of the administration, like several come out and defend her really, really strongly, to the point it raised eyebrows like wow, like why are y'all taking this that seriously? And it really elevated the story.
00:13:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they doth protest too much, Yes, because when you get that defensive, that's when folks start even digging deeper because they figure there's something to be defensive about.
00:13:57
Speaker 1: Nallie Harper is one of the most loyal and hardest working as on President Trump's team. They say the fake news continued attax on President Trump and his administration prove exactly why trust in media is at historic lows. The media should get back to reporting real news and stop regurgitating Trump derange liberal talking points. Okay, so that's to be expected. I don't know if this thing slows down Robes that this might be. It don't know any other headlines this let her get back to work. But she is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year salaried government employee, and rose buy everything I've read about what she does. She sounds underpaid to me.
00:14:37
Speaker 3: Uh yeah.
00:14:38
Speaker 2: If she is at Trump's side twenty four to seven, or at least at his beck and call twenty four to seven, that does seem like she might be up for a raise. I mean, that is a tremendous amount of work and a tremendous amount of loyalty that that position requires.
00:14:55
Speaker 3: Look, and we're not going to read the letters.
00:14:57
Speaker 2: But it was interesting how she said she she looks back to the day, or maybe looks fondly back in the day when all she had to do was anchor the news and get to I guess they talked back then, and you know, back and forth on the phone.
00:15:12
Speaker 1: It was one American news network.
00:15:13
Speaker 3: One of American News network the right way. Yeah, but she said she she missed those days.
00:15:18
Speaker 2: Where she could just focus on that and then talk to him on the phone versus now her NonStop job.
00:15:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that part stood out to me about the.
00:15:28
Speaker 3: Talking she missed their phone chats.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: I was curious about that, Yeah.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: Because she said basically that now you know, her job is logistics, and it's all work, work, work, she has to talk about work.
00:15:41
Speaker 3: She missed just talking to him on the phone.
00:15:43
Speaker 1: I mean, that's again I'm curious, but I'm curious, but that's it. I don't I just the poor woman again. There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by anybody in this. This is just the comma. I don't know what it's become, but I'm going to ask Robes exactly why it has become what it has become, and how much blonde hair has to do with it.
00:16:16
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone to Amy and TJ. We are talking about what. My goodness, it seems like everybody is talking about the blonde executive assistant who is always by President Trump's side, Natalie Hart.
00:16:31
Speaker 1: Why are we introducing her like that now? Blonde blonde?
00:16:33
Speaker 2: I was playing playing of what you teased going to the break that you were going to talk about her hair color and why that seems to be such an important detail of this story.
00:16:46
Speaker 1: Why is it because she's deemed attractive?
00:16:51
Speaker 3: Is that I think it's supposed to be. Look, blondes have more fun.
00:16:54
Speaker 2: Blondes are considered for whatever reason, in many circles like sexier, more beautiful.
00:17:01
Speaker 3: They talk about blonde bombshells.
00:17:03
Speaker 2: I mean Marilyn Monroe esque kind of a feel about it, like, yeah, you don't, it's not. It's just something I think as everywhere you look in the media, people talk about blonde hair, blue eyes, okay.
00:17:15
Speaker 1: Just as attractive. But with if she was a brunette.
00:17:19
Speaker 3: It doesn't have the same ring.
00:17:20
Speaker 1: Do you think the story would be a little different?
00:17:21
Speaker 3: I do. I think this.
00:17:22
Speaker 1: If this a same assistant was a male who had written all that difference, well that might just be creepyer.
00:17:28
Speaker 3: Sorry, but no, I hear what you're saying.
00:17:31
Speaker 2: Or how about this a middle aged, less attractive woman, would we be saying the same things.
00:17:38
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
00:17:39
Speaker 2: And look, I guess thirty five is middle aged, but still he's eighty, she's thirty five. So say you had some my age, some fifty something year old woman who was not deemed attractive, we would not be talking about this, the fact that she's young, the fact that she was a news anchor, she's attractive, and yes, I do believe the fact that she's blonde because somehow blonde equals sexy, Blonde equal seductress, blonde equals the mistress. I just think that historically, entertainment wise, yes, I think that is a common theme, a common thread about how people view blondes.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: Okay, does his history feed this story as well?
00:18:18
Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly how or who he has been attracted to, but certainly all of his daughters.
00:18:24
Speaker 1: Are what do you mean his history?
00:18:27
Speaker 3: I just thought, oh, yes, absolutely.
00:18:30
Speaker 1: Having attractive women around, of course them all seeming to look a certain way. Does his history have yes.
00:18:38
Speaker 2: Absolutely, the fact that he, yes, he was still able to become president after being caught with Billy Bush talking about how he grabs him by the you know what.
00:18:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, he I think likes.
00:18:48
Speaker 2: And has has best in this idea that he's a womanizer. And look, yes, Ivanna a blonde model his.
00:18:55
Speaker 3: First wife and then his daughters. Is he has a lot.
00:18:58
Speaker 2: Of blonde offspring, and I think he considers that something that he's proud of. And look, he himself is blonde, so I just I do think that, Yes, they make a point to point that out for a reason. They are insinuating something by making sure in every article they talk about her blonde hair or in the New York times pace platinum blonde hair.
00:19:23
Speaker 1: Is is this story going to find? Just slow down, it's going through its cycle if.
00:19:29
Speaker 3: There's nothing else to find.
00:19:31
Speaker 1: But I believed, what are we looking for? Air?
00:19:34
Speaker 3: They are looking for an affair.
00:19:35
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
00:19:36
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely, they want to Monica Lewinsky her if they can. I do believe that they are digging, and they will keep digging, and they will look and they will see what they can find, and they want to, yes, figure out if there is something other than a professional relationship going on in the White House.
00:19:55
Speaker 3: That's you don't believe that.
00:19:57
Speaker 2: I do.
00:19:58
Speaker 3: We know how a lot.
00:20:00
Speaker 1: I just don't know. Where are we just jumping to that conclusion? I say, we just the media that's covering this right now, I just roams. There's no suggestion of wrongdoing, right It's not there. But by covering it the way it's being covered, it is a suggestion of wrongdoing. That's what is not being made clear. What are we doing here? Okay, this is his a this is who she is. It is just gone haywire.
00:20:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's absolutely everywhere, and people are just concerned about her. Her devotion to President Trump coupled with her physical.
00:20:39
Speaker 3: Closeness to him.
00:20:40
Speaker 2: She is always next to him, and so yes, I do believe, And look, I am not suggesting that there is anything going on, but I do believe that there are plenty of outlets and almost certainly the tabloids who are working their sources trying to get inside the White House to get any detail they can to point the finger or to at least make more insinuations with better stories. They know this is a hot topic, they know this is taken off and this is trending. So yeah, they jump on these types of stories and if there is more information to find out, if someone is willing to talk, if there are other letters or photos or something, I have no doubt they are looking for them right.
00:21:21
Speaker 3: Now as we record this.
00:21:23
Speaker 2: I mean they talk about her Trump, her letters to Trump reading like love letters. She was quoting Pride and Prejudice from Jane Austen. I mean it does kind of sound like a young girl who's devoted to somebody and maybe even in love with him. Maybe it's platonic love, it's daughter to father love. We don't know, but it definitely seems like love more than a boss.
00:21:48
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well we will see. I just I really don't know what to do with this one. I'm uncomfortable with how it's being covered. I don't know how curious I'm supposed to be. And I don't know he does not get privacy. I guess by extension does she not?
00:22:05
Speaker 2: Right?
00:22:05
Speaker 1: I just I'm not exactly clear on how to handle But Natalie Harp the most famous assistant in the country.
00:22:15
Speaker 3: That's a good way to put it. And look, we hope that she gets a little piece. It's not easy to be under that kind of scrutiny, under the microscope like that, but we will.
00:22:25
Speaker 2: We'll let you know if anything else bubbles up that is worth reporting. And without everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I made me roback alongside DJ Holmes.
00:22:33
Speaker 3: We'll talk soon.
Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. It is Saturday, August twenty second, and she is now being talked about as possibly one of the most powerful people in the country. No, she does not hold public office. No, she is not some titan of industry. Who is she. She is the young woman who follows President Trump around everywhere he goes. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. And this is she is the talk of the town right now, and to a certain degree I feel bad for.
00:00:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, every time we turn on the TV, you pull up your newsfeed, she is on it.
00:00:40
Speaker 3: Her name is Natalie Harp, and her face is everywhere.
00:00:44
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to get into this later. I didn't mean to do this at the top. How much of this story is about that face and that this is an attractive young woman following around this eighty year old man with a history of stuff.
00:00:56
Speaker 3: It's everything.
00:00:58
Speaker 2: She's a blonde, blue eyed girl who looks like a lot I shouldn't say girl. She's a woman who looks a lot like what many people have pointed to in the women who surround President Trump have a certain look, and she's a young version of that.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: Yes, that is okay, nobody is saying that out loud.
00:01:21
Speaker 3: Nope, but that's what's happening.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: Because Senata Osof of Georgia, certainly, in invoking her name, it seems suggesting no excuse me. People took it and ran with it however they wanted to. But plenty of others thought he knew what he was doing by invoking her name. I think that is incredibly unfair. I thought she was It was wrong for her name to be dragged through the mud. And now here we are robes with personal letters she wrote to the president. This is now the big headline of the big story. Personal letters she wrote to him in twenty twenty three have now been made public. Should they have no look it?
00:01:59
Speaker 2: I I understand that this is our president. We need transparency, We need professionalism in the White House.
00:02:08
Speaker 3: We demand that.
00:02:09
Speaker 2: And the people who are around him, who surround him, who travel with him. Yes, I think we get to know who they are, We get to know details about them. They're government employees. But at a certain point, are those folks to those people? Do they deserve a certain private life? Do they deserve privacy?
00:02:29
Speaker 3: And we should we.
00:02:32
Speaker 2: Have private correspondence between the two of them. I think it feels icky, and no one. I think this is the worst part for me. No one is saying that she and the president have any type of untoward sexual relationship. I've not heard anyone make that accusation that they're having an affair. They've certainly talked about how Milania doesn't like her or and so look, there's just nothing but insinuations, insinuations and innuendos. Excuse me, that's insinuations and innuendos. And I think that's very unfair. Either make an accusation based on facts or some sort of reporting that you've sourced, or just to suggest and laugh and put these letters up. I mean, what is the point, What is the point of all of this? What are journalists trying to say to the American.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: People that these are important to get an insight into his inner circle, get an insight into his loyal base, to get some type of insight into the woman who is pretty much a gatekeeper of all things for this president. They are saying that that is the value in doing so, and I think that's just a way to try to find a way to justify But this is a This is a woman who wrote a private, a personal letter, a card to this guy. It's just not fair game. I hate that these things came out. It's how I am, and I know journalists we will feel any other way if we had them in our hands. Robes, I can say that I wouldn't want to put this out to the world. There's no crime alleged in here. There's nothing right. There's nothing like that in there other than her personal, very intimate feelings right about the president. Now, folks see it and you can jump to whatever conclusion, but it doesn't Nothing in there is proving anything other than her love, absolute devotion, and if you want to go as far as saying obsession, fine, but that's still it seems it seems like such an invasion.
00:04:35
Speaker 2: It does because also look, and I get it, We've read I've read the letters. I'm sure you have to, and those of you listening probably most of you have done it as well. And look, it is a little creepy, but it does feel like she's looking for a father figure, and it does seem like she worships him. I think there's no question about that. But what where is the news value. I'm curious, Like I understand if she look a lot of people are talking about her role with the president and her role in his social media account. Let's examine that. That's fine. I don't mind trying to figure out who was putting up some of these frankly ridiculous and at times delusional posts on his true social page.
00:05:16
Speaker 3: I think we can examine that part of it. But to kind of be.
00:05:20
Speaker 2: Either laughing or sneering or joking or insinuating, I don't think that's I don't think that makes our profession look good. I don't think I think we're above that. I think again, if there are accusations, then absolutely that would be something that we should investigate. But short of that, what is the point of just humiliating her? Because I feel like that's what we're doing.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's too I just said, don't robes everything you mentioned about her and what she does, and especially the social media because that is his I mean, that is how he does most of his press releases these days. That's how we get information. Who is the gatekeeper of that? I'm very interested in knowing how these Absolutely, well, there's value in knowing her background and all of this stuff that's out there for public. It seems like we it's like hacking our email account. Right, It's uh, it feels that kind of invasion.
00:06:17
Speaker 2: It feels like an invasion of privacy without a doubt. And so look, while I do think we need to know the relationships that are happening in the White House in terms of just who the people are behind them, especially when they do have very important roles, but I just feel like we don't have There is no smoking gun, There is no there is no anything other than ooh, look what we found. It's like finding someone's diary and reading it for everyone. I mean, it just kind of feels like that.
00:06:45
Speaker 1: That was and that's the most recent headline involving her with this we mentioned awesome. But this all got started because the revelation came Robes that when he made his Great escape from Turkey. Everybody's familiar with that by now. He hopped off Air Force one and took a catering truck across the runway and got onto another plane. That whole thing. She was one of the aids that was with him, Natalie Harp, thirty five year old Natalie Harp, that we are not that familiar with, right, A very small group. It was Hexeth one other White House aid, Trump and Natalie Harp. Marco Rubio was on the other plane.
00:07:24
Speaker 2: They left him and the entire White House Press corps on the other decoy plane that apparently was in no threat whatsoever. However, we know the president and Natalie Harp had to escape through that catering trug.
00:07:37
Speaker 1: So folks look at that and while she is of that value, she's that important, And then of course Osoff made his comments and the thing took off. But her official title is Special Assistant to the President, Executive Assistant to the President. She's actually been working with him since twenty twenty twenty, but it was what year she had her what was twenty that's that Year's not.
00:07:59
Speaker 2: Right, four, I believe is when she started working with him, right in the second term.
00:08:03
Speaker 1: But it was the RNC speech.
00:08:04
Speaker 3: That was when she gave the RNC speech twenty twenty.
00:08:07
Speaker 1: Oh, correct, it is there, It is all right. So, yes, she had claimed drobes in that speech and she's repeated it several times, and she credits this president was saving her life, literally saving her life through legislation that he signed in his first term that she says allowed her to get an experimental treatment and she is now cured, if you will from bone cancer. This is the guy, she literal really says, this man saved her life.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: And so looking at these letters through that lens that, yes, she had just lost her father, which I believe she mentions. She looks to him in that way as her guiter and protector. I believe was one of the phrases she used. But look, if anyone out there listening or who loves someone who went through cancer, look, that is a transformational situation. And when you're that young and you've gone through something life threatening like that, that's scary. That required some sort of experimental treatment to survive. Person who cleared the way, paved the way, who gave you that in you're going to feel forever indebted to them. So you might think it's weird, You might think her languages over the top, and yes, slightly obsessed, but you do need to look at it through the lens of this woman really does it appears look to President Trump as someone who saved her life.
00:09:22
Speaker 1: You give the girl some grace kind of a thing, Okay, fine, for whatever their relationship might be. She's now robes though all anybody wants to talk about.
00:09:34
Speaker 2: People are now obsessed with Natalie Harp's obsession with President Trump.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: And these letters are something that she's been referred to. We've heard plenty of times now, the human printer. She apparently carries around a printer with her everywhere with the President because she wants to be able to print out news items and whatnot and give him hard copies of stuff. Maggie Haberman, the writer New York Times reporter. She in her latest book she's been promoting, but she called him and we saw this on TV robe she was doing an interview, said it's called her his binkie.
00:10:06
Speaker 2: Yes, that basically, Natalie Harp is the President's security blanket, like baby blanket. So yes, she referred to her as his binkie.
00:10:16
Speaker 3: And apparently she gives him only good news.
00:10:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they say that's a part of the problem Robes and what makes her so powerful. She is able to filter out what she doesn't want him to want him to see, and that might be reality. So if you think about it like that, Robes, some of the stuff that comes out from him we're blown away by, like is he not aware of blank blank? He might not be. Stuff is being handed to him like she This is how The New York Times, the description put it, and this is this descriptive as you can get. As long as mss harp is around, he enjoys an unvetted flow of information, some of it poisonous and counterproductive, at least as far as a number of his advisors are concerned. She supplies him with content she fishes out of the social media gutter, like the video he posted deficting the Obama's apes, and provides him with a view from the world outside official Washington, of which he has always been mistrustful. Harmonica is human printer because she tails the president with a portable printer so that you can hand him information in hard copy and get this. She is a platinum blonde geyser of positivity there to buck him up when the going gets rough.
00:11:25
Speaker 3: Why did they need to say her hair color? I'm just curious, what do you think descriptive If she was a brunette, do you think they would say it?
00:11:35
Speaker 1: She is a brunette, geyser of positivity doesn't have the same ring to.
00:11:41
Speaker 3: It, exactly.
00:11:42
Speaker 2: So they're pointing out and they're making that known for a reason. And look, I do think part of what The New York Times wrote there is interesting and is newsworthy, and I think it is important to know this person who might actually be responsible for his truth's social feed, which we comment on this at least once a week, because you I'll wake up and you're at the desk and you're saying, Babe, you've got to look at Trump's truth social He's gone bananas overnight. And now we kind of know that it's She is the source of all, if not most, of what we're seeing on his feet, and it is disturbing and concerning oftentimes.
00:12:22
Speaker 1: But she's, as they say, she's the one always there as a part of those posts. She's always there giving him options for posting stuff. She's the one who is with him one on one. She has more time, she has her own Seato marine one. She is always by the President's side. And now if you start paying attention every time you see him, like oh wow, there she is, like she's been there the whole time.
00:12:47
Speaker 3: And yet I've never noticed her up until we got her name told.
00:12:52
Speaker 2: To us by us Off And then of course everyone starts googling Natalie because all he said was travel with Natalie. He didn't even you her last name when he was referring to her, and so it was. It's really fascinating that now, Yes, when you look, turns out she is with him just about everywhere every time he leaves. There are even pictures of her walking side by side with Milania walking onto Air Force One, et cetera.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: So she's been around and people want to make some beef about as Lania doesn't like her. Clearly she's been around for long for a long time. The White House rope, they say, didn't necessarily help slow this story. By the response that they gave. They had several members of the administration, like several come out and defend her really, really strongly, to the point it raised eyebrows like wow, like why are y'all taking this that seriously? And it really elevated the story.
00:13:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they doth protest too much, Yes, because when you get that defensive, that's when folks start even digging deeper because they figure there's something to be defensive about.
00:13:57
Speaker 1: Nallie Harper is one of the most loyal and hardest working as on President Trump's team. They say the fake news continued attax on President Trump and his administration prove exactly why trust in media is at historic lows. The media should get back to reporting real news and stop regurgitating Trump derange liberal talking points. Okay, so that's to be expected. I don't know if this thing slows down Robes that this might be. It don't know any other headlines this let her get back to work. But she is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year salaried government employee, and rose buy everything I've read about what she does. She sounds underpaid to me.
00:14:37
Speaker 3: Uh yeah.
00:14:38
Speaker 2: If she is at Trump's side twenty four to seven, or at least at his beck and call twenty four to seven, that does seem like she might be up for a raise. I mean, that is a tremendous amount of work and a tremendous amount of loyalty that that position requires.
00:14:55
Speaker 3: Look, and we're not going to read the letters.
00:14:57
Speaker 2: But it was interesting how she said she she looks back to the day, or maybe looks fondly back in the day when all she had to do was anchor the news and get to I guess they talked back then, and you know, back and forth on the phone.
00:15:12
Speaker 1: It was one American news network.
00:15:13
Speaker 3: One of American News network the right way. Yeah, but she said she she missed those days.
00:15:18
Speaker 2: Where she could just focus on that and then talk to him on the phone versus now her NonStop job.
00:15:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that part stood out to me about the.
00:15:28
Speaker 3: Talking she missed their phone chats.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: I was curious about that, Yeah.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: Because she said basically that now you know, her job is logistics, and it's all work, work, work, she has to talk about work.
00:15:41
Speaker 3: She missed just talking to him on the phone.
00:15:43
Speaker 1: I mean, that's again I'm curious, but I'm curious, but that's it. I don't I just the poor woman again. There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by anybody in this. This is just the comma. I don't know what it's become, but I'm going to ask Robes exactly why it has become what it has become, and how much blonde hair has to do with it.
00:16:16
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone to Amy and TJ. We are talking about what. My goodness, it seems like everybody is talking about the blonde executive assistant who is always by President Trump's side, Natalie Hart.
00:16:31
Speaker 1: Why are we introducing her like that now? Blonde blonde?
00:16:33
Speaker 2: I was playing playing of what you teased going to the break that you were going to talk about her hair color and why that seems to be such an important detail of this story.
00:16:46
Speaker 1: Why is it because she's deemed attractive?
00:16:51
Speaker 3: Is that I think it's supposed to be. Look, blondes have more fun.
00:16:54
Speaker 2: Blondes are considered for whatever reason, in many circles like sexier, more beautiful.
00:17:01
Speaker 3: They talk about blonde bombshells.
00:17:03
Speaker 2: I mean Marilyn Monroe esque kind of a feel about it, like, yeah, you don't, it's not. It's just something I think as everywhere you look in the media, people talk about blonde hair, blue eyes, okay.
00:17:15
Speaker 1: Just as attractive. But with if she was a brunette.
00:17:19
Speaker 3: It doesn't have the same ring.
00:17:20
Speaker 1: Do you think the story would be a little different?
00:17:21
Speaker 3: I do. I think this.
00:17:22
Speaker 1: If this a same assistant was a male who had written all that difference, well that might just be creepyer.
00:17:28
Speaker 3: Sorry, but no, I hear what you're saying.
00:17:31
Speaker 2: Or how about this a middle aged, less attractive woman, would we be saying the same things.
00:17:38
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
00:17:39
Speaker 2: And look, I guess thirty five is middle aged, but still he's eighty, she's thirty five. So say you had some my age, some fifty something year old woman who was not deemed attractive, we would not be talking about this, the fact that she's young, the fact that she was a news anchor, she's attractive, and yes, I do believe the fact that she's blonde because somehow blonde equals sexy, Blonde equal seductress, blonde equals the mistress. I just think that historically, entertainment wise, yes, I think that is a common theme, a common thread about how people view blondes.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: Okay, does his history feed this story as well?
00:18:18
Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly how or who he has been attracted to, but certainly all of his daughters.
00:18:24
Speaker 1: Are what do you mean his history?
00:18:27
Speaker 3: I just thought, oh, yes, absolutely.
00:18:30
Speaker 1: Having attractive women around, of course them all seeming to look a certain way. Does his history have yes.
00:18:38
Speaker 2: Absolutely, the fact that he, yes, he was still able to become president after being caught with Billy Bush talking about how he grabs him by the you know what.
00:18:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, he I think likes.
00:18:48
Speaker 2: And has has best in this idea that he's a womanizer. And look, yes, Ivanna a blonde model his.
00:18:55
Speaker 3: First wife and then his daughters. Is he has a lot.
00:18:58
Speaker 2: Of blonde offspring, and I think he considers that something that he's proud of. And look, he himself is blonde, so I just I do think that, Yes, they make a point to point that out for a reason. They are insinuating something by making sure in every article they talk about her blonde hair or in the New York times pace platinum blonde hair.
00:19:23
Speaker 1: Is is this story going to find? Just slow down, it's going through its cycle if.
00:19:29
Speaker 3: There's nothing else to find.
00:19:31
Speaker 1: But I believed, what are we looking for? Air?
00:19:34
Speaker 3: They are looking for an affair.
00:19:35
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
00:19:36
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely, they want to Monica Lewinsky her if they can. I do believe that they are digging, and they will keep digging, and they will look and they will see what they can find, and they want to, yes, figure out if there is something other than a professional relationship going on in the White House.
00:19:55
Speaker 3: That's you don't believe that.
00:19:57
Speaker 2: I do.
00:19:58
Speaker 3: We know how a lot.
00:20:00
Speaker 1: I just don't know. Where are we just jumping to that conclusion? I say, we just the media that's covering this right now, I just roams. There's no suggestion of wrongdoing, right It's not there. But by covering it the way it's being covered, it is a suggestion of wrongdoing. That's what is not being made clear. What are we doing here? Okay, this is his a this is who she is. It is just gone haywire.
00:20:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's absolutely everywhere, and people are just concerned about her. Her devotion to President Trump coupled with her physical.
00:20:39
Speaker 3: Closeness to him.
00:20:40
Speaker 2: She is always next to him, and so yes, I do believe, And look, I am not suggesting that there is anything going on, but I do believe that there are plenty of outlets and almost certainly the tabloids who are working their sources trying to get inside the White House to get any detail they can to point the finger or to at least make more insinuations with better stories. They know this is a hot topic, they know this is taken off and this is trending. So yeah, they jump on these types of stories and if there is more information to find out, if someone is willing to talk, if there are other letters or photos or something, I have no doubt they are looking for them right.
00:21:21
Speaker 3: Now as we record this.
00:21:23
Speaker 2: I mean they talk about her Trump, her letters to Trump reading like love letters. She was quoting Pride and Prejudice from Jane Austen. I mean it does kind of sound like a young girl who's devoted to somebody and maybe even in love with him. Maybe it's platonic love, it's daughter to father love. We don't know, but it definitely seems like love more than a boss.
00:21:48
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well we will see. I just I really don't know what to do with this one. I'm uncomfortable with how it's being covered. I don't know how curious I'm supposed to be. And I don't know he does not get privacy. I guess by extension does she not?
00:22:05
Speaker 2: Right?
00:22:05
Speaker 1: I just I'm not exactly clear on how to handle But Natalie Harp the most famous assistant in the country.
00:22:15
Speaker 3: That's a good way to put it. And look, we hope that she gets a little piece. It's not easy to be under that kind of scrutiny, under the microscope like that, but we will.
00:22:25
Speaker 2: We'll let you know if anything else bubbles up that is worth reporting. And without everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I made me roback alongside DJ Holmes.
00:22:33
Speaker 3: We'll talk soon.
