Niall Stanage

Seen apropos to play a cut of Roy McIlroy back at Augusta National in April here on the Marc Aram Show.

Since we're going to talk golf now, joining us live from News Nation, Niall Stanage.

Niall, good morning.

Thanks so much for your time.

He gets a star of the show.

And let's see.

We had Niall Stanage from News Nation and Greg Bluestein.

There we go.

We're learning more details about the reasoning behind the search.

Here to discuss is The Hill's White House columnist, Niall Stanage.

Hey, Niall, so one of the biggest questions yet to be fully addressed by the Trump administration publicly is why this raid happened in the first place.

But we are starting to get some reports about the investigation that led to it.

All right.

Look, Niall, I went into this perfectly open-minded in terms of me, I would criticize Trump for saying something bad.

And I don't think this would be, it wouldn't have been surprising to me if Trump said something really ghastly about this.

But the transcript of it in front of me, I think it was phrased not very well, but it it seems extremely clear to me his actually meaning was this is a very small price to pay and it's going to be over with soon.

And it would be very, very reckless to do this.

Right.

Because I said this, Niall and I said this, the disease does not care about boundaries.

It doesn't care about the borders of a country.

The president did not address recently leaked recordings of Paxton talking about the impact the war with Iran is having on fuel prices, as well as complaints that his campaign was being run by operatives in Washington.

Joining me here on set, White House columnist for The Hill, Niall Stanage.

Niall, two things struck me, and I wonder what struck you.

The first, the fact that he is back in Texas, not referencing the multiple leaks coming out of the Paxton camp, which feels really wild, just the cadence that we've seen.

I'm, I'm struck by the number of Republicans who have given the President such leeway and such patience on this issue, even while privately fretting about the fact that they don't think they're going to accomplish the foreign policy goals that they really set out to accomplish.

The Strait of Hormuz was not an active problem before this conflict began, and yet they are now very much going to be defending the position at the ballot box, even when congressional Republicans weren't given an option to support it, and then of course never exercised the option to roll it back.

White House columnist for The Hill, Niall Stanage, thank you as always for coming on.

Thank you.

We have another great show for you today.

Sadly, Niall is still nowhere to be found in my immediate vicinity, but has remained in New York City.

Are you having a good time at least?

I am.

They need it.

All right.

Look, Niall, I went into this perfectly open-minded in terms of me.

I would criticize Trump for saying something bad, and I don't think this would be—it wouldn't have been surprising to me if Trump said something really ghastly about this, but I have the transcript of it in front of me.

We have a great show for you today.

It is Tuesday morning, and I am joined by Niall Stanage in New York still, I believe.

Nice to see you, Niall.

Good to see you, too, Robby.

I am indeed in New York, my favorite city, as you're well aware.

Very loyal to it.

But how are things in DC, and how are you?

Uh, unfortunately I am not hearing you at the moment, Niall.

We have another great show for you today.

It is Monday morning and I am joined by Niall Stanage, remotely from New York City, filling in at the last minute.

Lindsay had a situation she had to take care of, so we really appreciate you being here with us spiritually, Niall, from across the way.

I am delighted to be the wonders of modern technology.

Pike's lawyer called the resignation justified, but said it did nothing to help Christa now.

For more, I spoke to Niall Stanage from the Washington-based newspaper The Hill.

Whatever one thinks about the death penalty, and of course people have very passionately held views on that, to have one state twice attempt to execute people and fail within one calendar year is just a bizarre and, and pretty gruesome record.

So Frank Strader is resigning, and he'll step down this month according to the governor of Tennessee, and he himself has said that it is, quote, "in the best interest of Tennesseans" for him to do so.

Florida executed 19 people last year.

But it is, at least in the minds of, I would say, perhaps critics of the death penalty and critics of Mr. Trump, there is sort of a connection in terms of the zeitgeist, for want of a better term, that is sort of the connective tissue between those two things.

Niall Stanage.

In Ethiopia, there are fears of a return to an all-out civil war after government troops entered the capital of the northern Tigray region following more than a week of fighting.

We have a great show for you today.

I'm Niall Stanage, joined by Erin Maguire.

How are you?

Good morning, Niall.
