The Costa Report

Rebecca Costa

The Costa Report™ is a post-partisan talk show for thinking people – citizens who don’t care whether a solution comes from the left, right or center, so long as it works.

Each week The Costa Report goes where the big networks won’t.  And delivers what big talk show hosts don’t.  Costa invites the world’s top newsmakers and thought-leaders to discuss the challenges we now face for one full hour. No sound bites.  No talking points.  No scripting or editing.  From government debt, healthcare and terrorism, to election, education and energy reform, no topic is off-limits.

Gary Johnson is the Libertarian candidate for President and the former two-term Governor of New Mexico. He has been a consistent advocate for limited, efficient government and personal liberty. An outspoken pro-Constitution Libertarian, Johnson would end the war in Afghanistan now. He opposes the failed multi-billion dollar war on drugs and demands greater transparency at the Federal Reserve. As president, Johnson would cut federal spending by 43 percent, slash debt and make government live within its means while reducing taxes and regulation to foster real job creation and economic opportunity like he did in eight years as governor. The National Review said he was "#1" in job creation as governor. An avid skier and bicyclist, he has reached the highest peaks on four of the seven continents, including Mount Everest.

Ambassador Henry Crumpton is a renowned counter terrorism expert, and is truly revered as a legend in the world of international intelligence and espionage. For a crucial period, he led the CIA's global covert operations against America's terrorist enemies, including al Qaeda. His new bestselling book, The Art of Intelligence, draws from the full arc of Crumpton's espionage and covert action exploits to explain what America's spies do and why their service is more valuable than ever. From his early years in Africa, where he recruited and ran sources, from loathsome criminals to heroic warriors; to his liaison assignment at the FBI, the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, the development of the UAV Predator program, and the Afghanistan war; to his later work running all CIA clandestine operations inside the United States, he employs enthralling storytelling to teach important lessons about national security, but also about duty, honor, and love of country.
